Soon.

A lightly armored soldier ran over, observed for a moment among the metal giants in front of the gate of the 4th Army, and after confirming Lei Luo's number, he gave a military salute.

"I am ordered by the commander of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, Gang Ze, to receive you to the 32nd Infantry Regiment. ”

"Got it. ”

The metal giant's voice was mechanical and sounded a little uncomfortable, so Relo tried to speak as little as possible.

With heavy steps, following the soldier "boom" and "boom" towards the gate of the fortress, it can be seen that the soldier is very nervous and excited, and his face is flushed with a red light of excitement, and the archers at the gate of the fortress are naturally making way for him.

Or rather, to make way for this behemoth behind him.

Outside the fortress, the dazzling sunlight of the middle of the afternoon fell on the metal giant, revealing the beauty of metal violence.

The five-meter metal giant's eyes glowed red, and Lei Luo looked at the soldiers outside the fortress.

The soldiers stood relatively loosely, with a large number of crossbowmen and a small number of mage advisors in the back, and heavy armored soldiers and heavy shield warriors in front, all glowing with the luster of metal armor, and a large area of black pressing, among which there were many metal giant war weapons like themselves.

However, the team of more than 10,000 people outside the fortress is nothing compared to the more than 100,000 resident legions in the entire Crucible Capacity Fortress.

From time to time, some mage advisors with sad faces could be seen in the crowd.

Compared to the ignorant soldiers, who were elated and did not realize what was coming, these magician advisors obviously knew better what it meant to be on the front lines of this war.

I was distressed by the task I was assigned to the front line, and I was helpless.

Lei Luo couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Although the military department generally does not send scholars from the academy to join the frontline war, even if it is an ordinary task of defending a city, no matter how careful it is, there will be a large-scale destruction magic, and a strong man will come on a rampage, sweep and kill a piece, or a catapult from the sky.

Luck is such a thing, and scholars who are valuable naturally don't dare to gamble with their lives.

On the other hand, the ghost old man assigned his group the task of manipulating metal war weapons, which is not only quite safe, but also can obtain war military merits with this, which is obviously a fat task that needs to go through the back door to be arranged.

This time I went out on a mission, and I called Xiao Kang, which was really a wise choice!

Soon.

The soldier led Relo to an infantry regiment.

The elite heavy armor soldiers at the front of the infantry regiment, wrapped like iron buckets, looked up at this huge and majestic metal giant, and looked at it in awe.

There are already 3 full-level metal giants, as well as 12 primordial-level metal war golems that are 2M~2.5M high.

Compared to the full-level metal war giants, these primordial-level metal war golems are rather dull.

A middle-aged man in iron chain mail turned his head to look at the heavy footsteps behind him.

"Instructed by the Crucible Tower, Leylo Gubo, a first-year cadet at Fort St. Glanburg, reported to the 32nd Infantry Regiment of the 4th Army. ”

The metal giant gave a military salute and spoke in a mechanical voice.

For some reason, this metal weapon of war is under the management of the Intelligence Department.

The middle-aged infantry commander returned the salute with a solemn face.

"I am Gangze, and I hope that Your Excellency can help my legion reduce damage as much as possible during the first wave of slave cannon fodder charges of the Sealanes, and the despicable Sealanes will not care about the lives and deaths of the slaves, but we Grans will never allow soldiers to be used as cannon fodder. ”

"Yes. ”

Relo responded calmly and did his duty.

The five-meter-tall metal giant, with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Lei Luo silently calculated the time that the energy core in his body could last, standing in front of this infantry regiment of about five hundred people, his eyes skimmed over the other infantry regiment in front of him, and quietly waited for the enemy in the distance.

Shadows are cast.

With the "rumble" of the bellows, a team of balloon airships slowly floated in the Crucible.

But these balloon airships are obviously different from ordinary balloon airships.

"It's a balloon fortress!"

The Sealand soldiers shouted.

"Balloon Fortress?"

The metal giant looked at it with red eyes, this so-called balloon fortress is larger than the civil balloon airship, the volume is even larger, reaching a length of thirty meters, the shape is like a huge goose egg, and the shell is also wrapped in a layer of black and gray armor.

The powerful energy shield, even for hundreds of meters, can see a layer of reflection without reflection.

According to Lei Luo's estimate, the strength of this layer of energy protection cover should far exceed the strength of the natural protective cover of the Level 2 Arcant Scholar, and it is far from being comparable to the civil aviation balloon airship.

It is precisely for this reason that these balloon fortresses sacrifice speed.

Even with a more powerful bellows and a deafening "rumble", the balloon fortress was still slow, similar to the speed of a soldier on the ground.

In the fortress, a total of 23 balloons floated out to run the base.

As the balloon fortress gradually stopped above the soldier's head, the hatch at the top slowly opened, revealing a bottle of swarthy cannon muzzles, which were none other than the magic crystal cannon.

Compared to the giant trebuchet, the Crystal Cannon's energy is more concentrated and the range is shorter, so the Gran people have used their abundant resources to develop the Balloon Fortress, an aerial platform warfare weapon.

In this oppressive atmosphere.

Long, long, long, long, long......

In the distance, a row of black shadows gradually appeared on the horizon of the lawn next door, getting closer and closer in the faint sound of the ground vibrating.

Relo seemed to hear the heavy breathing of the soldiers behind him.

Although there has been no war between the two countries for decades, from a historical perspective, it was only a fairly brief peace.

War is the eternal topic between the two countries.

Humans were only a small fraction of the Sealand slaves, and most of them were aliens from the Stardow.

Although the alien races in the Land of the Star Curtain are only the thorn forest elves and the dwarves of the Hengduan Mountain Range, there are many alien races who believe in various gods in remote forests, mountains, swamps, deserts, and barren lands.

Similar to the Golems, gnomes, sheep-headed people, werewolves, etc., in the Marks of the Moon space node, they are part of the Star Curtain alien race.

It's just that most of the places where these aliens live are poor places that are not suitable for human survival, and most of the gods have belonged to the light god system, and every time the Aurora Light Belt Empire crusade expedition, these aliens will also send elite legions and temple sacrifices to follow, so they are generally protected by the Aurora Light Empire.

Therefore, there are basically no contradictions between many human principalities and these alien races.

Except for the Duchy of Sealand.

The slavery system of the Duchy of Sealand has been around since the founding of the country, and is fully integrated into their iron-blooded and conquering culture.

It is different from the Mercenary Association system of the Duchy of Gran.

The mercenary associations of the Duchy of Sealand are extremely dismal, replaced by large and small slave catchers, and the overall strength of these slave catchers is far above the mercenary associations of the Duchy of Grand.

Several of them are super large slave trapping groups, and they almost have abilities comparable to those of S-class mercenary groups!

After colluding with each other, these super-large slave hunters even launched a war of extermination against those small tribes who had no protection from the gods!

What's even more terrifying is that under the system of the Great Empire of Light in Aurora, these actions are completely legal.

There will be no interference from the people of the church.

Because in the eyes of the Church, whether it is many human principalities or many alien races, it is just a struggle for faith within the gods of light.

Although the six principalities have a very special status because of the birth of the Academy of Sciences, at least there is no obvious conflict of interest for the church, and they have also made considerable contributions in previous crusades, let alone become a fertile ground for heresy.

Opposite.

As for those small races who are not protected by the gods, although the Church does not have a clear attitude, it inherently supports this policy of extermination, so as not to have too many uncontrolled forces and breed heresy.
