With the support of Rosen and Colonel Philip, Dussand's place was finally safe.

Although in Dussand's impression, the tank is not a "street fighting weapon" in the traditional sense. But in an environment where the average height of a building is no more than four floors, and the streets are well-hardened and sufficiently spacious, a tank with a gun with an elevation angle of 4° to 25° is almost completely invincible.

The armor-piercing hammer of the Steam Knight was simply not capable of causing effective damage to the armor of the tank. Even a violent blow that causes a burst of metal inside the armor plate can be completely absorbed by the latex lining.

When the armor-piercing hammer cannot damage the tank's armor, the Steam Knight has basically no means to use against the tank. The hand cannons in their hands only had shotgun ammunition, and the extremely short barrel could not accelerate the round projectile enough to penetrate the tank's armor.

In fact, tanks aren't just Iron Kings that the Steam Knights can't open. It's also an extremely ferocious monster that can easily crush the Steam Knight.

From course machine guns to rooftop heavy machine guns, from tank guns to tracks...... As the crystallization of human warfare wisdom, the 59 tank was originally a very effective weapon system. The compromise made by Polina and Dussand, due to the limitations of their technological level, made this weapon a more suitable special weapon against the Steam Knight.

Although the three-inch gun has a larger shell charge, the small barrel brought by the smaller caliber makes it more flexible. Thanks to the well-established gearing system, the "Imperial Edition" Type 59 has extremely fast turret angle adjustment and turret maneuver speed. In fact, in order to ensure that the rotating turret did not directly squeeze the gunner and loader, Polina and Dussander eventually increased the turret size of the Special Edition 59 and divided the gunner and loader into two areas.

The gunner is responsible for loading and firing the bolt while sitting in the turret, while the loader is responsible for loading the bolt inside the vehicle and through the rails.

Such a shot inadvertently fits into the design of the "cannon compartment", where the projectiles most likely to cause explosions and fires are protected by layers of armor and engines, while the shells are housed inside the turret with the best protection. Even the desperate Church Steam Knight, holding an explosive bag, tried to blow up the tank at close range...... There was no tank explosion either.

On the contrary, the scattered steam knights of the church were constantly destroyed by tanks and red-clad postmen, and only half a year after Rosen's reinforcements arrived, more than sixty of the ninety-four blocks of Upper Albin were completely in the hands of Dussand.

The Church's Steam Knights are trying to retreat outside the city at all costs, and a task force of tanks and Red Postman's Steam Knights under the command of Colonel Philip is effectively strangling the Church in Albinry. From the steam knight to the bearded priest in the church who refuses to surrender unconditionally, as long as the other party has a resistance or even suspicion, he will be killed directly as an enemy.

"We have repelled the enemy's twelfth breakout, and they have lost more than sixty Steam Knights." Colonel Philip came to Dussand with good news, but was treated very indifferently. The righteous Colonel Philip was ready to face Dussand's unknown rewards and punishments that might chill the hearts of the soldiers fighting on the front line, and then he was set up in the room by the old accountant and Rosen, who had been guarding Dussand's side.

"What are you doing here?!" The righteous Colonel Philip squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and he shouted at Rosen and the old accountant, "Don't slap your face!" Mr. Lord may be tired, but at least the soldiers on the front line should be commended! ”

"Commend you for looking at it." Rosen waved his hand at Colonel Philip, "The old man is in a very bad mood right now, he doesn't have time to deal with these things......"

The old accountant sighed and said, "I hope Madame is fine." ”

After meeting Gutierrez's envoy, Dussaint was still a little happy.

The reason for his happiness is also simple - Gutierrez is interested in ending the civil strife, which is a good thing for the whole of Newsal. Although Upper Albin gradually returned to Dussand's control under Philip's command, there were still a significant number of ecclesiastical steam knights still active. Their massacre of civilians has not stopped, but has changed from mass killings to small-scale "free hunting".

Dussaint himself has little affection for Gutierrez, but there is no ill will either. Since the other party is willing to stop killing, it is at least a good thing for the whole of Newsar.

But the news brought by Gutiérrez's envoy later made Dussart panic - he really didn't expect that Feuerbach was involved in this matter.

According to Gutiérrez's envoy, the main role of the mining consortium in this operation is to "evacuate" and "assist". The mining complex's landing ships will help the church evacuate the people, and there will be mine guards to help carry out the massacre. And the supreme commander of the mining complex in Newsal is the director of the mining complex, Feuerbach.

Feuerbach orchestrated a very large-scale "mass kidnapping" on Newsal. He and his men kidnapped dozens of nobles, administrative governors, and relatives of high-ranking officials. The abductees even included Colonel Philip's wife and children.

Hearing this, Dussand's eyes widened at first, and then he gritted his teeth.

Feuerbach kidnapped Androni and left with him before Gutierrez could detect a possible counterattack.

It took Dusand a full quarter of an hour to resist the idea of immediately pulling out a gun and exploding the head of the assistant priest in front of him.

"Since you say you have the idea of laying down your arms, then you can go and look inside the encirclement." Dussander let go of his clenched fist and said, "Go to the encirclement and persuade the armed men of the church to lay down their arms and surrender - I believe that Gutierrez has the sincerity to discuss it for the time being." ”

Immediately after Gutierrez left, Dussander called Ms. Tamara.

"Find Duchamp's location at once, and convey to him the current situation—ask them to destroy all the shuttles that try to land on Nyusar at all costs." Dussander gritted his teeth and said, "Then, scatter all the people who can be drawn, and in any case, you must find the exact location of the Speaker's lady immediately." If possible, the rescue is carried out as soon as possible. ”

After a moment's silence, Lady Tamara asked, "What if Madam Speaker has already died?" ”

Dussander closed his eyes tightly, and then reluctantly opened his already red eyes.

"Then kill every mongrel of the mining complex that's still alive." Dussart said viciously, "Especially that Feuerbach...... I'm going to slice 10,000 pieces of flesh from him and kill him again!" ”

"Lady Penny, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show Duchamp and Dussand's bazaar prowess!" In the chaos of Knights' Street, a fierce "debate" is taking place in the Upper Albin Textile Market. The steam knight at the door, torn to pieces, is using his miserable shape to illustrate the power of the Bazaar. And inside the bazaar, several young people are "arguing with reason", they are trapped by ropes, forced to struggle back and forth on the ground.

"Drag it off and ask who instructed them to do it." Penny didn't have the slightest "feeling" for these young people's words, and she just waved her hand to decide the fate of these young "peers". After disposing of the young man, she turned her head to look at the other members of the bazaar, "It's the first level of combat readiness, who else is planning to disobey my direct orders and leave here with weapons?" ”

Penny was met with complete silence and silence.

"Very well, it seems that you still remember who is the owner of the Newsar Market." Penny nodded in satisfaction, "Don't try to deceive others with any 'show of strength', the mystery of the bazaar has always been part of our strength." If Dussart can't survive the Empire's assault and take power — then he's not worth our investment, you know? ”

"Mr. Lord is a good man." A voice suddenly burst out of the silent crowd, "Lady Penny, can we just watch him fall into the trap of defeat or even death?" Investing in an emperor of a new country before you make your fortune is the most rewarding investment opportunity. ”

"Whether he is a good man or not has nothing to do with whether we invest in him or not - a good man is not worth even a kopeck." Penny shook her head and said, "It is possible to lose money by investing in the emperor before his career, but investing in the emperor who has just made his career will not have such a high risk." ”

As the crowd dispersed, a young chubby girl approached Penny and whispered, "Miss Penny...... Can you give Mr. Lord a reminder? ”

"I really don't know where that little bastard is because he ate bread once in your shop?" Penny rubbed the corners of her forehead with a little headache, and then asked in a low voice, "Now go and send him information, not only will he not thank you, I'm afraid he will also treat you as a spy!" ”

"I can take the risk." The fat girl patted her chest with her crippled right hand, and then said with some embarrassment, "But...... I need your permission. ”

"Go, go, go." Petunia stomped on the ground, turned around and said, "If you die, I won't be sad!" ”

The fat girl laughed, then hugged Penny from behind, "I knew you'd agree, Mr. Lord is really a good man—he's a poor nobleman like us!" ”

After saying this, the fat girl turned around and walked towards the door. Penny was silent for a while, then called two "members" she trusted.

"This commission is the same as before." Penny pointed to the fat girl who had disappeared outside the door, and then ordered, "You can find out what information she has released." If there is a ...... involving the secrets of the bazaar"

"Kill it directly." Penny sighed softly, then muttered as she looked at her nails with some wistfulness, "You can't just absorb human labor from the poor in the future—they all have a problem with their brains!" What a poor nobility, nobility and poor, that's two species! ”
