Chapter 853: Tiger King VS ...... Iron Crab (1)
Yu Chimu's mood at the moment was very complicated, he really hoped that the adventurers of the Western Continent would be able to defeat the demon and save the city not far away, but he was worried that he would be there enough to recognize his old acquaintances. But if he just stood in place, things would not make any progress, and Yu Chimu finally pressed the various ideas that kept popping up in his heart and did his duty by Alicia's side.
Chi Mu, the new Tiger King Tank Lieutenant of the Alliance, had seen it a few times, and his general performance was also told to him by a blonde little queen who had always been open-mouthed, so he was relatively familiar. However, what the young general was going to negotiate with Alicia was something else.
"Queen Bixia. After watching Lenhausen lead the tank troops away, Wei Chimu quietly leaned over to Alicia and whispered, "Although you and many adventurers have come to help, you must also be prepared to be unpopular with the Ming Empire, or Gongsun Yi to be precise. While you are in contact with each other and showing your liliang, I recommend that you arrange for your party to set up a camp near the door of space to create a territory and shili range to ensure that you can evacuate at any time. β
"Captain, no, Uncle Billy. Alicia turned her head to look at the other party and said, "This is indeed a very good proposal, but the most important thing at the moment is how to win the trust of the people of the Ming Empire. Adventurers are very good at this, and when they fight off the demon army, they will be able to deal with Haode in a while. At least don't build a camp until the majority of the people of that city accept our presence, that will only make them feel uneasy. β
"I see, that's what you think. Wei Chi nodded in admiration. Then he wondered a little puzzled, "But, listen to what I just said." You don't seem to think that the emperor of the Ming Empire is very important?"
"It's a delusion. The little queen glanced at her and said lightly.
Well, such an incisive and classic answer is really exciting, and I can't help but burst into tears. Yu Chimu rubbed his slightly aching temples and sighed, "Okay, it looks like you already have some kind of plan, so I won't ask." But here I still have to remind you, please pay more attention to the Praetorian Guards of the Ming Empire, they are the most powerful Liliang in Gongsun Yi's hands. Advanced weapons such as huge airships that resemble the Alliance's air warships and ironclad chariots that are not much different from tanks. Basically, the equipment provided to the Janissaries was given priority. β
[It's similar, but they're powered by steam, right?] Maybe there is a deviation in performance, but we have other specifications on our side, such as Icarus. Basically, all of them are infantry, and the only armored unit is still newly established, so it's better not to get along with Gongsun Yi casually. But we're not here to play aggression, and there's no need to provoke each other. γ
After thinking about it for a moment, Alicia raised her hand and brushed the hair around her ear, looked at the tank slowly moving forward in the distance, and muttered, "Well." Let's think about these questions when the time comes. For now, focus on defeating the demons. Sister Mamei, you quietly follow behind and go over together. If those bat-winged cannon fodder are going to intercept our tigers, you are responsible for blocking them with fire and then notifying me in time. β
βhaodeοΌmasterγ The Heroic Maiden behind the little queen immediately stepped forward and said, "If you can, please ask Michelle to let Medea accompany me." β
The blonde girl couldn't help but show a surprised expression when she heard this: "Do you actually have a time when you are worried that you don't have enough firepower?"
"I just wanted to learn from you to put Icarus in a tank and provide a shield as an insurance policy. β
β...... That, senior sister, are you still angry?"
Regardless of whether Asami is still angry or really planning to find a helper, Elysia, who is a little worried about Zuihou, finds Michelle in a nearby grove.
Although it is December, the temperature in this area is relatively warm. The leaves of the trees are still pleasantly green. Looking at the natural stupidity of rubbing her head and face full of various leaves and weeds in the woods, like a big cat, Alicia couldn't help but ooze countless cold sweats on the spot: "Uh. Michelle, what are you doing here?"
Ilya next to her hurriedly walked up to help the natural girl tidy up her appearance, and the blonde girl couldn't help but pout slightly. Although Alicia quickly withdrew it and put on her usual expression, the sharp-eyed Imrith still raised her hand to her mouth and snickered, causing the former to blush a little in embarrassment.
Michelle naturally didn't notice Elicia's small movements, and with the help of Elijah, she hurriedly plucked all kinds of blades of grass from her body and replied, "Ah, I'm sorry Sister Ellie, I really didn't want to play hide and seek with everyone. β
You did get into the woods that are not easy to find, but please don't move around casually after you get in, okay, the trees are rattling, who believes that you are playing hide and seek with us, hey!?Alicia pinched the bridge of her nose and waved her hand casually, "I know, you actually saw a cute squirrel that hadn't hibernated and foraged for food, and then you were full of joy and wanted to play with the little one, so you followed it all the way into the woods, right?"
Sitting on top of Michelle's head, a shiny little thing was laboriously pulling out of her natural hair and cutting off a branch, and after hearing what Alicia said, she immediately gave up the dead branch and flew to the blonde girl with her beautiful crystal clear wings, and made a proud POSS correction with her hands on her waist: "It's not a squirrel, Michelle's owner is actually chasing a rabbit in!"
You're about to evolve into a circle of nine, how proud you are there, and your master's face is almost lost because of what you just said, even though she herself seems to be unaware of it......
Alicia grabbed Aglaya who was suspended in front of her with lightning speed, stuffed her into the hands of Xiao Ise next to her, and then looked up at the natural daze who had finally regained her original beautiful appearance and said, "Michelle, lend me your heroic spirit." β
"Oh, Haode. Michelle nodded without hesitation, "Sister Medea, go and help Sister Ellie." β
The witch who was the opponent of the Shura field who was casually lent to her by her master appeared from the void with a painful expression on her face. However, Medea quickly covered her face in the hood of her cloak: "Haode, master." Speaking of which, Alythea, didn't you just send out those mechanical weapons? Why did you come back to me right away?"
"Although it is possible that the enemy will send the same mechanical weapons to test our strength, it cannot be ruled out that those batwings that have always been unscrupulous will use a large number of cannon fodder to intercept them in a bad situation. Alyssia scratched her scalp and said a little speechlessly, "Now is not the time for the big army and the demons to directly fight, I need you and Sister Mamei to use long-range attacks to block possible enemy cannon fodder to cover the withdrawal of tank troops, understand?"
"Heroic Spirits have powerful attack capabilities while facing a large number of miscellaneous soldiers without worrying about their own safety, and they are indeed the best candidates to block the other party. Medea nodded slightly, "Just cover those iron turtles." Right?"
"Iron Tortoise......" The little queen suddenly laughed and cried, "Well, I think you may have made a mistake. But it doesn't matter. You'll find out later, those iron guys aren't turtles, they're tigers. β
ββββββββββββββββββββI'm the dividing lineββββββββββββββββ
Ulrik is not worried about the humans and other races who are enslaved by the demons, and every time they develop, the new demon king will feel uneasy. Because he had participated in the ancient wars, he knew very well how terrifying the human ability to learn and create was. Even geniuses such as Randy can only start an invasion in a hurry before the human jishu develops, regardless of the fact that the strength of the demon race has not yet recovered. Because the Demon Warrior understands that if he continues to let the human race develop, his race will eventually be surpassed by them.
It turned out that Randy's guess was correct, during the time it took the demons to conquer the two continents of Despair and Teranmere, the eastern and western continents had developed their own brilliant and powerful civilizations, and they even had the strength to fight in the face of the demon army, compared to the demon's side, there was not much progress on the demon's side. If Hannah hadn't gotten the Jishu who made monsters from a genius scholar who had been buried in the people of the Western Continent Alliance, I'm afraid the batwings would still be using low-grade monsters as their main force.
In order to contend with the ever-changing new weapons of mankind, Ulrik finally decided to let the enslaved humans develop their own weapons. As for the commander of this first batch of achievements, the Great Demon King chose Hannah.
This human woman has a personality that is more terrifying than a demon. It's an ideal candidate.
Hannah didn't like her new job, though, because she had to huddle in a small, cramped, airy space with the roar of a maddening machine. Not even the body of an enemy can be touched in battle, and there is no comparison to the spy work that often caught a hapless bastard and slowly sliced the girl into a mosaic with his own hands in his desperate eyes and screams of pain.
But now, Hannah feels that she is so lucky to have traveled all the way to the Eastern Continent, because Elysia, who likes to find fault with demons when she has nothing to do, has also come here! As long as she thinks that she can crush the little queen's entourage with these powerful mechanical weapons, and use the most delicate knives and the most perfect techniques to make her beautiful petite body into various collectible specimens, Hannah's heart can't help but be extremely excited.
In the regular vibration of the car's body, a wilderness that still had a few stubborn weeds that lived in the winter slowly appeared in Hannah's sight.
"Stop advancing!" the cautious Hannah immediately ordered loudly, and the more than sixty armored mechs she led also stopped in unison, "Let the low-level monsters that follow behind enter the grass to reconnoitre, this is simply too suitable for ambushes." β
When he saw the enemy's chariot come to a stop, Renhausen knew that the ambush was probably going to be over. However, he did not immediately give the order for his troops to attack, but took the opportunity to carefully examine the opponent's vehicles to see if they were different from the Alliance's design and if there was anything to learn from.
The enemy's tank turret is lower than that of the Tiger King, making it easier to conceal and avoid being hit, but there are traces of forced patchwork in many places, as if it was barely made according to some predetermined Haode drawings and immature craftsmanship - yes, the tank model stolen by Hannah was the original design of the Cannon Sisters, and the humans of Tyranmere were far behind the Eastern and Western Continents in terms of manufacturing technology. How can such an epoch-making and advanced gadget be perfectly reproduced?
The only thing that could be done by forcibly copying it was to make a nondescript thing, and if Alicia saw it, she was afraid that she would roll on the spot with laughter all over the place.
Although the manufacturing process did not keep up with the design, it was barely able to make a similar appearance. If it can be combined with a certain amount of armor or even shields, it may not be possible to defeat the Tiger King in the battle.
As for mobility...... Lenhausen's eyes widened: the lower part of the enemy's chariot was not a tracked chassis, but four huge feet like insect limbs. And these feet are not mechanical, they are all made of protein. Thankfully, the turrets at the top are too heavy to prevent them from making jaw-dropping maneuvers such as jumping long distances and climbing steep rock walls. But what if the demons swapped those turrets for lightweighted energy cannons, wouldn't the battlefield be full of fleas?
I dare to pack the ticket, Alicia will definitely point at the other party's new weapons and shout "The devil is going the Soviet way......
However, the demons probably won't do that, they already have enough small units that can be used as cannon fodder at any time, and they don't need to develop light armor to deal with the Coalition infantry, but instead face the blows of aerial warships and warplanes. The demons are now in dire need of some heavy weapons to deal with. It was impossible to create a combat aircraft in one step, and until then, it was a very good choice to design a kind of heavy ground armor that could not only attack the air against small enemy ground forces, but also protect itself.
Yes, Hannah's armored unit is not actually tanks. Compared with the King Tiger, the two are completely different in their original design concepts.
Well, who called the alliance's air force too violent? So much so that people had no choice but to change tanks into anti-aircraft vehicles.
Despite being used for anti-aircraft purposes, these Iron Crabs still have heavy armor and terrifying firepower. Undoubtedly absolutely fatal for ordinary infantrymen. The air battleship is too big. It's impossible to pass through the Space Gate, and the warplanes need specialized supplies and maintenance, and they can't build up combat power in a short period of time, so Alicia only has a large number of infantry and a few magic crystal cannons on hand, so it would be a pretty good idea for Hannah's mechanical monsters to slaughter the vanguard of the Little Queen.
Dolbe's calculations are indeed very good, if there is no Tiger King this time, he will even force Alicia to send out the ace to fight off Hannah - but there is no if, the Alliance's new heavy tank is now hiding in the grass in the wilderness in front of Hannah, like a tiger waiting for the opportunity to kill its prey in one fell swoop with a thunderbolt.
"Tsk, the commander of the other side is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Renhausen couldn't help but praise as he watched the many curious crawlers emerge from behind the iron crabs and spread out towards the grass, "Signal soldiers. Inform the adventurers and mercenaries who are lying in ambush and tell them to take out all those disgusting monsters. β
"Yes. Checkmate. β
Renhausen's idea was to have the scouts kill the tanks before they could crawl and find them, so that the commanders of the enemy's armored forces could let their guard down and look for opportunities to inflict heavy damage, and the experienced adventurers and mercenaries did not live up to his expectations, sneaking into the front row when the low-level monsters approached the grass, suddenly bursting into trouble, and in the blink of an eye, the monsters that were caught off guard were beaten.
I have to say that this is indeed a very haode tactic, even if it is replaced by Elicia, even Wei Chimu can't think of a more clever way in a short time, and he will also choose to do so. The guy with a slightly bigger brain might have been hit like this, and he happily drove his armor over to crush the infantry, and then was smashed to pieces by a blast of artillery fire.
However, Hannah was not easily fooled.
Dozens of red energy beams suddenly burst out from the barrel of the iron crab cannon in the distance, flying straight towards the inside of the grass!
"Defense!!!" Renhausen shouted in time, despite a cold sweat.
The beam tore through the grass and set it on fire. The brave and fearless adventurers who had been brave and fearless a second ago immediately lay on the ground with their heads in their hands and shivered, for fear that they would be affected by this terrifying attack if they raised their heads slightly, while the surface of the Tiger King, which had stopped in the depths of the grass, lit up with brilliant cyan light, and a hemispherical shield blocked the sudden bombardment.
The body of the car shook violently like chaff, which also made Lenhausen dizzy, but he still bit and tried to stabilize his body: "The situation of the victims?"
"Nope. β
Renhausen, thinking that he had misheard, asked again uncertainly, "What did you just say?"
"Report to the General, all the tanks, including this one, have not been damaged, but have more or less consumed some of the shield energy. β
The attack of that level just now was not even able to be blocked by a level 5 heavy soldier with a top-grade tower shield, and the King Tiger Tank was not damaged!?Lenhausen couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and at the same time, he also felt joy and excitement in his heart: "Yes, as Queen Bixia said, the defense is indeed very powerful." So, let's see how powerful it is!" (To be continued......)
