With three tanks and more than eighty armed security guards armed with steel core shells, Dussaint followed the young men out of the gates of the industrial zone.

Along the way, Dussander constantly directed and drove ordinary people on the street, telling them to "get off the street and go back indoors at once." After all, the main purpose of the mad clergy is to kill people, and getting ordinary people back home can make their massacres less "smooth". Thus buying some time for other people's lives.

With only three tanks and eighty ordinary infantrymen, it was absolutely impossible to kill all the Church Steam Knights who were slaughtering in Upper Arbin. This is not possible and unrealistic.

In addition to leading his own team to thwart the attack of the Church Steam Knights, Dussaint also gave up his car directly to an armed security guard who could drive, and wrote a handwritten letter.

The letter should have been given to Major General Horn or Rosen, and the content was very straightforward and simple.

[Please take all the troops with you at once, and return to Upper Albin at once.] All white-clad Steam Knights or other targets that fire at civilians are enemies, and try to protect themselves as much as possible to eliminate them. 】

Upper Albin is a top priority for the whole of Newsal. All the important departments of the entire colony are concentrated in this city. If you want to concentrate all your forces, you must first control several key departments of Albin.

Star Takeoff, the Royal Post Office and the Royal Bank Newsal head office are three of the most important key positions. Its importance has decreased in turn.

The Starfall Arena is a very important strategic channel, whether it is to quickly send orders or send supplies to other regions, or to prevent the Empire from continuing to reinforce the Church and sabotage, the Starlanding Arena in Newsar is a key strategic objective that must be held in the hands immediately.

The Royal Post Office controls the entire Newsar secret service and the messaging channels, and their shuttles are currently the only means of safe take-off and landing in all of Newsar, as well as to send messages to the other cities of Newsar, as well as to other colonies within the Empire.

In contrast, the Royal Bank's head office in Newsart is the least important institution. This is the central bank of Newsal, which has the right to mint its own coinage. It is also responsible for supervising other financial institutions in Newsal, and maintaining the stability of Newsal's financial institutions by purchasing other bank bonds and releasing low-interest loans.

The Royal Bank is also listed as the last strategic objective to be noted because of its special nature. In Newsal's current situation, no matter how hard the Royal Bank tries, there will always be twists and turns in the market. Compared to "repelling the White Knights of the Church" and "quickly stopping the slaughter", Dussaint can still remember the Royal Bank, even if he is extraordinary.

"Give priority to the care of ordinary people, and get the injured to the Charity ......Hospital," Dussander said, and after a sudden pause, he changed his tune, "to the General Hospital of the Colonial Office."

Almost all of the charity hospitals in Upper Albin are church-based organizations. Sending civilians over is no different than putting a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Dussander led a platoon of tanks and two platoons of infantry armed only with small arms to Sunset Square, and as soon as he went out, he loaded a group of armed men who were also armed and were heading towards Sunset Square.

This group of people is the police of Upper Albin.

"Stop!" The sheriff at the head of the group first looked at the heavily armed security guards, and then his face was overjoyed. He stopped his team, then quickly rushed to the tank and shouted, "I'm going to requisition you, follow me to Sunset Square right now!" ”

"My lord, this man is the sheriff who always comes to us for trouble." The old accountant whispered to Dusander, bribes are useless, and you can't scare away with your name. ”

The sheriff shouted to the armed security guards, "There are Coalition infiltrators in Sunset Square, and they are slaughtering our compatriots!" Now, I order you to obey my command at once and go to Sunset Square to stop the enemy! ”

Dussaint jumped out of the tank. He looked at the sheriff's revolver and the shotgun in the policeman's hand, and asked, "You're going to fight those steam knights with this weapon?" ”

"This is already our best weapon." The sheriff replied, and he looked at Dussand's outfit, and said, "Don't go with me, we're going to fight, not to play." ”

Dussaint wore a casual dress today, a little more elaborate than a school-going child of the same age, nothing more. Therefore, the sergeant took Dusand as a child in the ranks.

"How many times have I told you, you have to let him go to school, not old enough!" The sheriff yelled at the old accountant, "If I find out that there are such school-going children who come to your company to be armed security guards, I will have to punish you!" ”

This guy is a bit brainless, but he's not a bad guy. This was Dussand's first impression of the sheriff.

A kid who clearly commands dozens of people and three tanks, and you think he's skipping school to mess around?

But seeing that this person is still concerned about implementing the education promotion plan, Dussaint raised the evaluation of "this is a fool" to "this person is a little brainless".

"Second Captain!" Dussaint looked at the brainless detective for a moment, then shouted at the top.

A young man in his twenties ran up, and when he ran to Dussand, he stood upright, and cried out with a knock on his heel, "Report to you, Mr. Lord!" ”

"Take this detective, and his men, and go to the warehouse to get the equipment - get them rifles and steel core rounds!" Dusson gave the order, "Run, go, get your equipment, run straight to Sunset Square!" ”

The tank was in combat for the first time, and Dussart was confident in his "invention", but he was not sure if the commander, driver and gunner in the tank would be able to perform at the same level as they had been trained.

After all, the scientific and technological level of the empire was not enough to support Dussand's tank external and internal intercom, so he could only make two brass tubes wrapped in rubber and penetrating the armor as communication devices. One pipe goes straight to the cockpit under the captain's cabin, and the other goes straight to the cab.

This talking device...... The effect can only be described as unsatisfactory. Usually, the commander and the driver are half exposed, and at least they can communicate with the infantry relatively normally.

But after the anti-armor operation really begins, in order to ensure the safety of the tank itself, the hatch must be closed.

The commander can also use a heavy machine gun with tracer rounds to indicate where to fire at the tank, or direct his teammates by shouting at his feet. But the command from the outside world is basically inaudible.

"If you start fighting, you decide what to target." Although he was not sure if the crew would be able to perform at the level they had been training in, Dussander decided to give them all his trust, and he shouted to the two commanders who leaned out of the car, "The next block turns left is Sunset Square, and you have only one mission - to eliminate all the steam knights who are still killing people and trying to attack us, and cover the ordinary people!" ”

Although Dussander said "cover ordinary people", he had already reached this position, but he still couldn't hear the sound of the crowd running. He already had some judgment in his heart.

It is quite possible that the massacre in Sunset Square is over.

Dussaint was conflicted, and reason told him that if those Ecclesiastical Steam Knights were still in the square, it might be best to attack now.

But he also prayed that the slaughter would be over - preferably if the idiots hadn't filled the Steam Rider with high-pressure steam before activating it. The number of dead people would not be too many, and there would be a group of immobile steam knights in the square to target the tanks.

Cereal

"Prepare for battle!" As Dussand's thoughts wandered, the crowd got closer and closer to Sunset Square. The old accountant gave the battle order in a loud voice, "All of them, load, attack!" ”

Androni was running as hard as she could on the Avenue of the Dukes of Saarland.

She was five months pregnant and had to run, which was already a very difficult thing to do. What made this even more difficult was the shoes on her feet.

The pursuers behind were so fast that Andronie couldn't even kick off the shoe on her other foot first.

Androni's bodyguard was behind her, and seeing that Androni couldn't run fast, she could only grit her teeth and say "offended", and then carried Androni on her shoulders and ran forward.

Androni followed the advice of the captain of the guard and did not go to Sunset Square for Mass. Together with several of her Marquis colleagues, she prepared for the Mass in the square in front of the House of Commons in Newsal. In order to ensure safety, the guards worked together to make a security plan.

Martial law was placed on the entire House of Commons square, and several noble councillors were placed to attend Mass at the farthest point from the church. Other citizens are not allowed to enter the square at all.

Although such a move is a bit excessive, with Andronie's reputation, the poor people are still very cooperative with such security measures. Instead, two priests protested to Andronie's chief of guard, along the lines of "We hold a mass to get people to pray together, not to provide a stage for the nobles to put on a show." ”

Such a protest was pushed back by the chief of the guard. In order to strengthen Androni's protection, he even arranged two steam carriages for Androni behind the management desk.

According to the Captain of the Guard, the steam carriage was, after all, a mature vehicle with a history of several hundred years, and although it was not as fast as the gas car designed by Dussand, it was better than stable and durable.

As a result, two steam wagons, which served as escape tools, were blown to pieces directly in the first explosion. The fragments of the blown up steam wagon also killed more than a dozen of the guards who were serving as the pick-up.

After the explosion, the chief guard did not immediately pounce on Androni and protect him under his body, like the other noble guards. The captain of the guard, who had dealt with the allies on the colony planet, knew very well that the fire attack would inevitably be followed by an infantry assault, and now was not a good time to lie down.

He dragged Androni, who was stunned by the bombing, to the side. Originally, according to the design of the chief of the guard, they should immediately enter the House of Commons to strengthen the garrison, but as soon as he ran two steps, he was horrified to find that the church gate, which was about 500 yols away from the square, had been smashed into splinters that shot out violently. And from the door of the church, at least twenty-five murderous steam knights rushed out.

After giving the order to break the gap, the captain of the guard dragged Androni and began to run wildly. Their destination was the second evacuation point, the safe house on the west side of Sunset Square.

There are tunnels in the safe house that allow Androni to quickly evacuate to Aika's headquarters. There are actually such tunnels inside the House of Commons, but the chief of the guard does not dare to risk it - if these twenty or so steam knights directly rush to the House of Commons, this distance and the broken back of the guards are not enough to stop each other.

Without hesitation, the chief of the guard used half of his associates, along with the other noble councilors, along with their bodyguards, as smoke bombs to attract fire and obscure Androni's whereabouts.

This strategy worked so well that at least when he and a dozen other personal bodyguards stormed a house on Queen Street with Androni, there was no Steam Knight behind him.

The distance from the House of Commons to the "distant" safe house on the west side of Sunset Square is a mile and a half away. There are two intersections and a large open area that is unobstructed – the Sunset Plaza itself.

The Chief of the Guard had intended to send someone to inform the Privy Council and Aika that they would immediately send their forces to kill the rebellious Church Steam Knights.

After informing the authorities, he can intercept a steam wagon from the road and take Androni to the safe house.

But Androni, who came to her senses, stopped him.

"The Privy Council is no longer reliable." Androny, pale, stopped the captain of the guard and said, "Those are not rebellious church priests, they were slaughtered on Orin's orders. ”

After listening to Androni's general explanation, the entire escort team almost fell apart.

Most of the guards who served as Androni's guards were stationed in Newsar all year round. They have families here, wives and children. When they learned that the Mass might have been a massacre by royal order, the guards almost immediately abandoned their duties and went back to make sure their families were safe.

Fortunately, the prestige of the captain of the guard was high enough, and the guards quickly understood the fact that if something happened to their family, it would be useless to rush back now. And if their families are still safe, then they are chased by more than twenty steam knights, and it is very likely that they will lead the enemy to their own family. It would hurt them.

"I ask you to obey orders, this is the best way to protect your family." The chief of the guard said in a deep voice, "The Baroness is an important person, and she is the enemy's top priority. As long as Madame is safe, the rebels will constantly send forces to search for and attempt to kill Madame. In comparison, your family is more likely to live safely. ”

The Captain's statement was quickly agreed by all the guards, and after calming down a little, they also realized that there was only a limit to what they could do now - the best way to protect their families was to protect the Baroness.

Androni was held on the shoulders of the Guard, who struggled to hold her shoulders with both hands, trying to keep her stomach away from the constant bumping shoulders.

The steam knight behind him chased closer and closer, and the opponent's body was obviously having some problems, and his movements were much slower than before. But the distance between the two sides was still approaching rapidly, and Androni could almost see the eyeballs in the slits under the armor of the other party's eyes.

The chief of the guard had apparently heard the Steam Knight's loud commotion, and with a gritted tooth, he ripped off the shoe on Androni's other foot.

"Run!" He threw Androni and watched her feet hit the ground, then turned to the white steam knight.

A two-pound offensive grenade reached out of his pocket, and the captain smiled at the Steam Knight.

"Lao Tzu is here to take you on your way!"

Androni, who was running towards Sunset Square, heard a violent explosion behind her. She gritted her teeth and let the tears run down her face, but her pace showed no signs of slowing down.

Ahead, it's a safe house!
