At eight o'clock in the morning, the convoy, which had been in Bosenke for a long night, officially set off.

When they set off, the team kept a low profile as much as possible. However, the shape of the experimental car No. 2 still attracted a lot of attention.

On the square cockpit, Dusand and Polina replaced the vehicle with shuttered steel plates as lookouts. Inside the car, Dussand, dressed in the armor of the Steam Knight, was humming a song as he drove the vehicle forward.

Experimental vehicle No. 2 is currently unloaded, but it is not the kind of empty load that can be seen at a glance. In order to ensure that the battle exploits could be successfully obtained, the two lieutenant colonels took matters into their own hands and loaded a bunch of "goods" in the body that looked very heavy but were actually empty boxes.

And the steam knight in the passenger seat...... It wasn't Lorraine, the original navigator, that was inside.

The captain of the Navy commando, who had a little unpleasant relationship with Dussander in the landing ship, was cursing in the Steam Knight.

"This kind of army!" The bearded captain in the Steam Knight kept complaining, "It's so uncomfortable - I'm afraid someone just threw up here, right?" ”

Truth be told, the smell in this military vehicle certainly doesn't look good. After all, it's armor worn by people, and the drivers who use it are still army with little education.

These mud-legged men in the army can remember to take a shower once a month, which is considered to be clean.

But that doesn't stop Dussaint from liking his Steam Knight – this kind of thing is simply handsome!

It seems that in order to ensure that the mud legs can also use this equipment smoothly, the army people put a lot of thought into the design process. Inside the armor there was only a noticeably large red knob, and Dusaud could easily adjust it to the point he needed from inside the armor.

The knob has a sign with an extended index finger, while four different patterns are drawn on the outside of the finger.

Beds, lawns, peaks and fires.

The bed is in the closed position, and when the knob is turned into this position, the Steam Rider will enter the locked shutdown state. The high-pressure steam in the system is all released, and then the locking device on the back armor is opened, allowing the driver inside to come out.

The turf is in low-power mode and the mountain is in high-torque mode.

Agni is a combat mode that, according to the red-clad postman who delivered the equipment, "turns everything you see into powder with your eyes".

The design inside the Steam Knight is as simple as that. It doesn't have any other place for the driver to operate, and the only way to get this machine moving is for the driver to move normally in the Steam Knight.

The three-meter-tall Steam Knight is able to move with the driver's movements, and through different gears, the driver's movements can be restored to different degrees, strengths and speeds.

There is almost no lag in movement, and in low-power mode, the Steam Rider itself moves softly. That's why Dussaint had the opportunity to wear such armor to drive his own experimental vehicle.

Thanks to the fact that the engine compartment of the experimental vehicle No. 2 is still equipped with the experimental four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. The poor little creature was running very slowly, and even if Dussand's movements were as slow as if he had drunk alcohol, it didn't affect the normal movement of the vehicle very much.

Dussand's task with the naval commando captain was simple, they just had to drive normally and wait for someone to attack them.

At the moment the attack began, Dussander should have stopped immediately and sat in the car without moving. The improvised welded armor outside the cockpit is capable of blocking most small-caliber small arms. And the steam knight armor on him and Mr. Captain can add another layer of protection to them.

Within a quarter of an hour of the start of the attack, the landing ship of the naval commando appeared in the vicinity of the convoy fifty yores, within two yols of ground level, and made a combat hard landing using a sturdy hull.

After landing, more than 200 heavily armed commandos from the landing ship would rush out and shoot or capture alive the gangsters who dared to attack the convoy.

Then, the two lieutenant colonels will be able to get the combat exploits they need for promotion. Duchamp was also able to share a big credit from it. The major and the commodore from the Olin Admiralty completed the experiment perfectly. Polina's invention proved her potential and was ordered by the Imperial Admiralty.

The Colonial Office of Newsal and the Heraldic Administration were able to use this as a basis for an open-minded intervention in the Bosenque area to carry out rectification and investigations.

And Dussaint can still sit in the steam knight of his heart.

It's a best-of-six situation, everybody wins, everybody is happy.

Anyway, Dussander thinks he's winning.

As for the cost...... At most, there are a few more craters in the armor plate of the experimental vehicle No. 2, what can be a big deal about this?

The second test vehicle drove slowly over the rough terrain, and Dussand deliberately slowed down a bit - Duchamp and several other Navy observers were in the carriage behind the vehicle. If you go too fast, you'll leave them behind.

Lorraine, on the other hand, was hidden by Polina in a logistical carriage.

When she first heard that she was leaving the team, Polina firmly disagreed. Lorraine insisted that they had to act together. After arguing with the officers of the Navy, Polina cut off one of her long chestnut hairs very neatly.

"I changed into men's clothes and drove the logistics wagon." "This is the first time my invention has been put into normal use, and I have to be present." If there is a problem with the gas engine, Dussaint can't fix it himself - besides, the experimental car needs to use gas as fuel, and it is normal to have a logistics carriage. ”

Eventually, Duchamp agreed to Polina's request to act together. However, for the sake of safety, their logistical carriage had to closely follow the carriage of the observation team, and in the event of an attack, they had to immediately board the officers' carriage and evacuate the scene.

It took about two hours for the second vehicle to finally drive out of the forest around Bosenke and into the hilly valley landscape.

The captain who complained about the smell of vomit in the armor seemed to have finally gotten used to the smell of the armor. He began to pull Dussander and ask about the details of the experimental vehicle No. 2.

While driving, of course, it is a good thing to have someone to talk to, but the angry thing is that the captain asked and did not believe it, so he turned around and continued to dig deeper and ask rhetorical questions...... It's infuriating.

"You've been sitting in the car for two hours." Dusander, who was asked by Mr. Captain about the vehicle's range in six or seven different "ways", finally became anxious, and he glared at the captain beside him angrily, and then said angrily, "Facts speak louder than words. Whether my car is good or not, and how far it can be driven once inflated, don't you know if you experience it yourself? ”

"I'm curious." Mr. Captain's voice was rigidly covered by the steam knight's armor, and the voice that came out was muffled, "This thing doesn't burn coal or water, how the hell does it move?" ”
