[General Era 101032, Rotiri's Nest Saidili Civilization Year 3001, Summer.] Kingdom of Rotiri-ni Sediri, Province of Rotiri-Ni-Sediri, Governorate of Rotiri-Ni Sediri, Senate. 】

Here, there is a hall next to the atrium of the Senate.

The weather was beautiful, and the sun was shining brightly in the lawn-covered atrium.

It was supposed to be a comfortable and restful day.

However, the atmosphere around this place is full of tension.

In the hall next to the atrium, there is a long table.

In the Senate, the young brother of the "Gilded Princess", the prospective king "Desert Platinum Battle Shield", sits in the middle of this long table.

The Desert Platinum Battle Shield, the would-be king, has the equivalent of King Rotiri's Sedili - his father wants him to train from now on, and only on the very big issue is that the old king, who lives in the palace of the capital, will make a decision.

Before that, the people of the Senate, as well as the would-be king of the Desert Platinum Battle Shield, had heard about the invasion of the mysterious giant vehicle - however, due to the means of communication, the people in the city of Rotirito Sedi Rico seemed to be full of unknowns about the behemoth, and did not know its specific power.

However, as the war progressed, the concept of that behemoth began to become clear to the "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" and others.

"Everyone, you should also know that we already have a fortress now...... Destroyed!" said the prospective king "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" to everyone present in a very serious and somewhat regretful tone.

His voice was not particularly loud, but such words, like a heavy hammer, "hammered" on the bodies of everyone present.

"It's directly destroyed!, not captured......," the quasi-king "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" emphasized again, and he continued, "Judging from these circumstances, the enemies facing our entire kingdom now are not ordinary, they are very powerful, and they are completely different from the enemies that our ancestors encountered in the previous hundreds or even thousands of years!"

There was silence all around—in this silence, there was an air of discomfort.

Then, the quasi-king "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" added: "When we receive this message, the situation there should be more serious than the message says!"

The transmission of the message by Rotiri Sedili relied on the riders carrying the letters, and the relay carried the letters day and night, and the transmission of the messages from the desert took at least several days - it is not clear what the enemy would do in these days!

"This is a crisis for our entire kingdom......," said the prospective king "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" at this point, pausing for a moment, and then he added, "In our history, it is still in times of war, and it will take at least a week to capture such a fortress!"

Everyone present was full of helplessness.

Some of the people present shook their heads slightly.

"But...... Those extremely powerful enemies directly destroyed this fortress in one day! Those enemies, we must not take lightly!" The quasi-king "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" said this, his tone became a little less serious, "But fortunately, fortunately, that behemoth has fallen into the big pit and can't move...... Otherwise...... I'm afraid that the surrounding fortresses will be destroyed one after another! Our soldiers are very brave and admirable! Of course, the caravan guards who help defend the city are also very tactful!"

The people around showed admiration.

"Still!" said the Quasi-King, "We're going to have to find a way to strengthen our defenses, and attack that behemoth bit by bit, weakening its combat effectiveness to a certain extent...... Eventually, destroy this one completely, or drive them out of the land where our kingdom has lived for generations!"

After the encouragement of the quasi-king's "Desert Platinum Battle Shield", the members of the Senate who were originally very helpless and worried around them cheered up a little.

"Those enemies came from the land we don't know about, right?" said a general on the side, with a little anger, "What are they attacking us for?!"

"The land around us, what is it like there, why haven't we ever discovered it before?!"

"Those enemy giant vehicles, and artillery, are terrifying!"

"Our cannons are simply ......"

"What if that behemoth comes out of the pit...... Then our whole kingdom will ......"

For a while, the people present began to talk about it.

"All of you, the war has begun! Everyone, you must muster up the courage to face our enemies and drive them out of this land!" The Quasi-King "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" continued, "The Rotiri Sedili are brave! Those enemies have behemoths, but we must not be deterred by fear!

The people around him began to agree with the prospective king's statement of "Desert Platinum Battle Shield".

"Before the various operations begin, I think it is necessary to find out what the opponent is doing. The Minister of Industry in the Senate said as he spread out a drawing on the table—a sketch of the enemy's giant vehicle, based on the accounts of various eyewitnesses.

Although such a sketch does not show any details, it is at least better than nothing.

The Minister of Industry showed the behemoth to the people of the Senate.

This behemoth is equipped with a flat cylindrical structure, and within this rotating structure is a cannon capable of firing special shells - this cannon is several times more powerful than the cannon of Rotirito Sedilli!

The entire giant vehicle has three of these oblate cylindrical structures, two in front and one in the back.

The whole behemoth, by a strange structure of thick metal sheets intertwined, moved across the sand.

As for where the impetus for this big guy came from, this remains a mystery to the people of Rotiriña Sedilli, where carriages are pulled by horses or camels.

In addition, there is another point, which is also what the Minister of Industry is puzzled about, is that on top of this giant vehicle, there are two large chimneys, which I don't know what they are used for.

The people in the Senate looked curiously at this brief sketch drawn according to the eyewitness description, and discussed with each other.
