Chapter 248, The Death of the Titans

Black Arrow, the capital of the Kingdom of Luman, Pinser, and the inhabitants on the outskirts of the city were terrified and inexplicable.

The horror lies in the war, even if both sides do not deliberately kill or injure civilians, but even deliberately defend them. This is true for coalition forces from another planet, who, after occupying the outskirts of the town, have only occupied the necessary area and have taken military control over the entire town, but have not harmed civilians.

However, war itself is the most destructive, from any point of view. Guns have no eyes, and civilians who die in collateral damage, no one can do anything.

Civilian fear is rightly so.

As for the inexplicability, it is also easy to understand: everyone was still preparing to celebrate the festival two days ago, and the so-called Gu family came to hold a conference every year, which was a happy day. The last time I came to the Kingdom of Luhmann, it was more than thirty years ago, and in the memories of some old people, it was very beautiful.

Why did you suddenly go to war in the blink of an eye?

And no matter how much they could not understand, wars always broke out in a way that people's wills could not be reversed.

They can only meet it all in horror and at a loss.

The peasants in the middle of the mountain looked at the battlefield in the wilderness below the mountain from afar.

Two armies, hedging in the wilderness. A terrifying war machine, running over their farmland.

One of them, was the traditional army of the Luman Kingdom. Two Knight Titans led more than eighty Sentinel Mechs and 20,000 infantry to advance in a group.

The Luhmann infantry, who had only a cloth uniform and little protection, rushed to the front.

They are poorly equipped, but there are quite a few of them, and to put it bluntly, they are the positioning of cannon fodder.

Of course, even if it is cannon fodder, it is valuable, and even if it is to die, it cannot die in vain.

They maintained a relatively loose formation, and according to the experience of training, they were barely able to form skirmisher combat groups. This is mainly to avoid being wiped out by a single cannon or a single machine gun fire.

The rifles issued to them are not too many bullets, and the main thing is that the survival time of the cannon fodder infantry on the battlefield is not very long, and it is wasted with more bullets. Their task is to charge, attract firepower, and by the way, try to get out as much ammunition as possible before they die, even if they have completed the task.

And the sentinel mecha that accompanies them is the main force. This kind of thing with a height of more than three meters, and a double-barreled machine gun, is already powerful enough. They couldn't penetrate the Lion tanks, but the armor of the Ramblers couldn't withstand the onslaught of the guns. There are often three or five mechas, and a round of dense accumulation can blow up an armored vehicle.

And the two more powerful Knight Titans are big killers. At the very beginning of the battle, they destroyed three Lion tanks.

However, despite the heavy blow to the Alliance army, the Earl of Draux, who was driving the Knight Titan, still looked tense.

With his many years of war experience, the opponent encountered his own superior firepower in the face of the battle, suffered such huge casualties, and even the strongest combat weapon, the Lion tank, lost almost 20%. It stands to reason that morale should be taken a hit.

But why, these alien armies have no trace of wavering?

Not to mention those tanks and armored vehicles. In the concept of the Earl of Draux, it is understandable that those who drive powerful weapons are generally elite, they have high morale, and they are not easily shaken; But shouldn't the infantrymen who were originally transported by troop carriers or infantry vehicles, but now all get off and fight on foot, also cannon fodder?

How is it that even they have not been shaken?

On the contrary, compared to armored vehicles and tanks, what surprised Delux the most was the performance of these infantry in the alliance army.

There are only about 2,000 people, but in the face of ten times the enemy, they are not intimidated at all; They would not cower behind armored vehicles or tanks, but would bravely lean forward and use their rifles to destroy the invading enemy with far more accurate shooting techniques than the Luhmann infantry; They acted in clear squads, carrying modified machine guns that forcefully suppressed the advance of the Luhmann infantry.

Where the machine guns swept through, the Luman infantry had to stop. Either they were shot or they had to lie down and find cover and then wait for an opportunity to fight back – often without finding a chance.

And the only thing that can stop the firepower of these Alliance soldiers is the Sentinel Mecha.

The 'Knights' were not so easily killed by bullets, and instead they would often fire their double-barreled cannons when they sensed the point of fire of the Alliance soldiers.

The soldiers of the alliance are extraordinarily courageous, but they are flesh and blood after all, and the cannon bombards them, and a string of shots will make half of the squad disappear directly.

But...... There are only eighty Sentinel Mechs.

What's more, these infantry are not completely devoid of countermeasures against the Sentinel Mecha.

Instead, sensing that the Luhmann infantry was vulnerable and low in threat, the infantry targeted the 'knights' as their main target. Squad-level firepower, firing with machine guns, clanging iron on the surface armor of the sentry mecha.

If you can't hit it, you can't hit it, but in the case of several machine guns fighting, the Sentinel Mecha will still falter, and its forward speed will be suppressed.

And often at this time, the individual bazooka will be aimed at them.

However, a single bazooka is still not enough to reimburse a Sentinel Mech. Delux saw that there was a sentry that had eaten at least four individual rockets, which was charred and blackened, his left arm was blown away, and the power system was also malfunctioning, but there was still a hand, which could be raised, and with the remaining machine gun, he tried to fight back and eliminate several infantry squads that attacked him in front of him.

However, after shooting less than ten men, the sentry ushered in the end of the Union infantry: a platoon-level mortar bombardment.

In a few moments, at least four mortars exploded on it.

At the same time, there was also a heavy explosive machine gun fixed on the ground, which seemed to be subordinate to the company-level support fire of the opposing army, and also fired a dense number of heavy explosive shells.

There are also machine guns on infantry chariots......

Withstanding such an attack, the Sentinel could no longer withstand it and was destroyed.

Drax had already reacted, he raised his left hand and fired several rounds of heavy grenades mounted under the mechanical arm, destroying the company's mortar and fixed heavy explosive gun fire position, and by the way, another laser cannon blew up an infantry chariot accompanying him.

However, Drax was still at a loss.

As he did this, with a glance, he saw two more Sentinel Mechs, destroyed in a similar manner.

Even faster.

After all, the army on the opposite side is not just infantry either.

The Lion Tank is also in full swing, and the magnetic rail cannon mounted on it can destroy the Sentinel Mecha with a single shot.

On the contrary, the Sentinel Mecha has nothing to do with the Lion.

By this time, he realized that the difference between the Sentinel Mecha and the Lion Tank was too great.

The two may be similar in cost, and the Sentinel Mecha is cheaper, but it should be an order of magnitude; However, the positioning of the two on the battlefield is too different.

The sentry mecha is at most an infantry accompanying equipment, an anti-infantry unit, flexible, and can accompany the infantry into bunkers and buildings to fight; The human-like two-legged structure allows for access to complex environments.

This is its advantage.

However, on the plains, it would be stupid to hedge against the Lion Tank. They are big, have thick armor, and have heavy artillery.

The machine guns that can penetrate the armored car are just craters when they hit the lion. Unless you fire rapidly for a minute, the crater is widened, and the metal fatigue is punched to penetrate the armor.

But that's too hard, the barrel of the cannon is turned around, whether it's the laser secondary cannon, or the magnetic rail main cannon, all of them can hit the soul with one shot.

Twenty minutes have passed since the start of the battle, and fifteen Sentinel Mechs have been blown up.

That's a big loss.

These 'knights' are also his people.

It is his vassal, and it is considered his descendant power. These losses are all to be counted on his head.

In Drax also gradually red-eyed.

After quickly eliminating the main fire of an infantry company, he turned around again and went to hit the Lion tank.

He no longer hesitated. After posting a message to his companion in the communication channel asking him to provide fire cover, he strode forward while activating the automatic reload and reloading the grenade launcher on his left arm.

He set his sights on the three finished glyphs, the fastest rushing Lion tank group.

He has been unhappy with these three for a long time.

The railgun and laser cannon on it are always bombarding him.

The shield generator, which has not fully recovered to its full state, is still able to faithfully block one blow after another, but if it is left unattended and allowed to continue like this, the shield is also at risk of being broken.

And those three lions are indeed a little too close to him.

At a distance of less than two kilometers, the two sides walked in opposite directions again when the Knight Titan strode forward, and in three minutes, he arrived.

The three lions sensed the danger and split up and tried to circumvent it. But how does their mobility compare to that of the Knight Titans?

Delux caught up with one, withstood a round of running shots from it, raised the power punch of his right arm, and pierced the tank from top to bottom.

The height of the Lion tank is about three and a half meters, which is a little more than half that of the Knight Titan.

After eliminating one, he quickly turned around and ran to the second, and the power fist knocked over the tank from the side.

Instead, it's the third one.

The whole process adds up to just a few minutes.

Delux felt quite happy!

At this time, the grenade launcher on his left arm had also been loaded. He tilted his head, looking for a new target through the visual information transmitted by the observation sight on the head of the Knight Titan.

However, at this time, two things happened.

For one, it was his comrade-in-arms, the driver of another Knight Titan, who sent him an anxious voice message.

"Preparing to evacuate, another group of people guarding the town rushed out, and our rear army was not blocked, and it had already dispersed."

Drax was rather dissatisfied: "So what? With the two of us working together, as long as we don't run into dense heavy artillery, what is there to be afraid of? Your Majesty has given us an order to win at all costs, don't you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a violent shock!

That's the aftermath of the second thing that happened before.

It turned out to be an infantry chariot, which drove very close to him and laid down a squad of infantry.

He was aware of it, but in the process of communicating with his comrades, he was distracted and made a judgment that he did not think beforehand, but turned out to be wrong later: he saw the armored vehicle as the main target.

A howitzer and blow it up.

However, the infantry that rushed in scattered close to him.

The gravity fist smashed down, and the infantry squad on the left was almost instantly reimbursed.

Gravity punches are not only the parts that actually hit them. Smashed on the ground, scattered gravitational waves, rubble, these can kill the infantry, and it is useless to have alloy plastic steel armor plates.

However, there was still a group of infantry, approaching his feet.

Realizing that something was wrong, he raised his leg and trampled and kicked them to death one by one.

However, what people have to do has already been done.

The Knight Titan is equipped with a shield generator. This thing has the same property as the Void Shield: it can't identify or block slow targets.

Approaching infantry, of course.

The bombs they put up, too.

Despite being a normal explosive, bursting at the Knight Titan's knee-like joints still had a very bad effect.

He tried to step back and get closer to another comrade, but found himself limping a little.

It is not completely lost, but there are some problems with the power system of the left leg, which leads to an imbalance on both sides.

This alarmed him.

Then he saw three more armored vehicles approaching.

Having suffered a loss, he raised his hand to fire the howitzer, preparing to blow up the three cars from a distance first.

However, a flash of blue light appeared.

A plasma gun struck him in the knee of his left leg, which was already in trouble.

His figure was crooked, his left leg knelt on the ground, and the howitzer, which could have been hit steadily, also flew away.

Lacroxia, who was on the chariot, put the plasma gun back into the pouch on his thigh and jumped off the roof of the car.

After landing, he rolled twice and stood up again, running with all his might, and with the blessing of his strong physical strength and exoskeleton, his short-range burst speed was even faster than that of an armored vehicle.

An armored vehicle was blown up by the Knight Titan's gravity punch in order to cover him.

But it also brought Lacroxia into attack range.

Leaning back, he pulled out the chainsaw sword he was carrying. At the same time, he also approached the Knight Titan sideways.

Dodging the second punch and stiffening the gravity wave, he grabbed the top edge of the Knight Titan's knee with one hand, climbed a few steps hard, and jumped nimbly to the side of his back.

He wanted to attack the cockpit of the Knight Titan, but he couldn't. The cockpit is the top priority of the Knight Titan, with heavy protection, not to mention the chainsaw sword in his hand, even if it is a hot melt bomb, the miniature one he is equipped with in his hand may not be able to burn through the cockpit and kill the driver inside.

So, he switched the target to the shield generator next to him.

He first attached the hot bomb to the back of the Knight Titan's head and activated it, and then he used his chainsaw sword to slash at the structural vulnerability of the shield generator.

Boom!

The shield generator exploded first, and the impact directly lifted Lacroxia into the air; Then, the melt exploded, burning half of the Knight Titan's head from behind.

Rolling in mid-air and falling out more than twenty meters away, Lacroxia reluctantly stood up and looked at the results.

The energy shield around the Knight Titan has been extinguished; The Titan Head, which integrates observation, calculation, and servo skull assistance, has been destroyed.

This terrible weapon of war, though not yet destroyed, has undoubtedly become a lamb to the slaughter!

Oh, and maybe an elephant to be slaughtered is a more appropriate description.
