At the first sight of the steel monster rushing out of the alley, Roland roughly guessed what it was.

This is not the prophesied superpower, nor is it the spy network that he can infiltrate into the research and development institutions of the Defense Force, nor is it the result of the strong brain replenishment ability. Just excellent observation, simple logical reasoning, plus a little bit of intelligence integration.

When he was a cadet at the Al Fheim Cadet Military Academy, the knowledge imparted by the instructors included a considerable amount of space in sports warfare, annihilation warfare, and blitzkrieg, and relatively less content on defensive warfare. In addition to emphasizing the "offensive spirit", it is also largely due to the fact that the elven camp is not good at attrition warfare, and the quick victory strategy of avoiding stalemate as much as possible.

The idea of "quick decision and quick victory" is not only embodied in military education, but also deeply penetrates into the construction of the entire country, and is more intuitively manifested in equipment research and development. Just look at the Wehrmacht's fast, amazingly firepowered, heavily armored vehicles to know in what direction their minds are heading.

Under the guidance of this army building ideology, the emergence of a thin-skinned heavy firepower armored vehicle for urban operations is almost inevitable - after all, large-caliber heavy armored tracked assault guns cannot become the main equipment for mass production, let alone meet the needs of rapid deployment, and compared with the giant guided high-explosive bombs dropped by strategic bombers, the power of 380mm and 600mm mortars is not enough. A wheeled assault gun that can fight and run, has fierce firepower, can accompany the advance of armored columns, can be quickly deployed with large transport aircraft, and can also solve stragglers on its own, and has basic protection capabilities, is still very appetizing to the elves.

Roland guessed the beginning and the process correctly, but he didn't guess the result.

He could never have imagined that the elves' obsession with "small-caliber high muzzle velocity" had reached the point of madness. The ordinary 50mm L60 tank gun could no longer satisfy them, and they directly loaded the electrothermochemical cannon (ETC), which was still being tested, onto the car.

As an attempt at the "High Muzzle Velocity Gun Project" of the Defense Forces, several prototype guns were produced for research and testing of the railgun, the multi-stage accelerated gas cone gun, the Gauss gun, and the electrothermochemical gun. But so far. Few of them have achieved positive results. Either you need a huge power generation car, or the recoil is too strong, and you can take out the enemy with one shot and reduce yourself to parts. In other words, the electrothermochemical cannon is relatively reliable in that pile of crooked ways, but there are still many problems to be solved before it is actually combated. For example, the power output, the configuration of the power supply line, the carrying capacity and stability of the gun body and recoil, etc., the No. 3 wheeled assault gun in front of us is far from being called "fully prepared". At best, it is just a trial machine that has just passed the run-in period.

Even so, it is powerful enough.

Instead of burning with gunpowder, electrothermochemical cannons propelled the shells by high-temperature gas generated by chemical reactions. At the moment when the trigger is pulled, the high-voltage current is adjusted to form a current pulse with a waveform that meets the ballistic requirements, which is fed into the plasma nozzle, which triggers the electrode to generate an arc, ablates the plastic capillary wall, and produces a plasma jet with high temperature, high pressure and high hydrogen content, which is sprayed into the liquid ****** at high speed. It is broken down into high-temperature and high-pressure gas to launch shells.

Its muzzle velocity and reaction speed are far superior to those of traditional chemical energy shells. The muzzle velocity of the gun was as high as 1820 meters per second, and for comparison, the muzzle velocity of the 56 times diameter 88 gun was only 820 meters per second.

The rooftop remote-controlled machine gun and electrothermochemical cannon were aimed at Roland and spewed out a fierce muzzle flash, and the pepper shaker-shaped muzzle brake spilled out storms and flames in all directions, like a thunderous sword of cannonballs.

The electrothermochemical cannon with a two-way artillery stabilizer has the ability to fire on the move, and it has been holding back until now in order to paralyze Roland's strategy to lure the enemy.

The timing and strategy were perfect, and the shells were fired.

Before feeling the pain. The goal will fall apart.

The crew was convinced.

Roland did not realize the "moment of the cannon".

But the chill that seeped out of the armored car turned into lightning and pierced the center of his eyebrows. Before realizing that it was "murderous", his legs were already clamped around the belly of the mount, and the unicorn jumped up in anger.

The storm of destruction swept from below, the sharp killing intent turned into surprise and wavering, and the brick fragments erupted like a volcano as the tail stabilized and the armor-piercing shells slammed into the building. On the other side of the building. An entire platoon of Titans soldiers withstood the direct impact of high-velocity shells, their kinetic bodies bursting like soap foam, and their entrails and life exploded. The unicorn that crossed the bloody landscape landed steadily and galloped again.

There was a wave of shaking from the inside of the car, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a more definite killing intent. The driving assault gun chased after him.

(So terrible...... ）

Feeling the sense of oppression behind him, Roland sighed in his heart.

As if to tear the skin, the deafening sound of the engine kept coming;

As if mocking the obsolescence of swords, steel armor and guns;

If you get caught in the wheels, your limbs will be broken into pieces;

Not only that, but the body tilts from side to side, and the rear wheels bend, giving the car a snake-like curve.

Needless to understand that this is a weapon made for killing, and it is not something that can be confronted by the flesh.

And in the Defence Forces, this is only one of many weapons, far from the most powerful.

I just rely on reading the opponent's "murderous aura" to sense the next attack in advance and take action, so as to deal with it. Just doing this is a desperate effort, and there is no way to fight back.

When you think of this, you can feel how strong the defense forces are as enemies, and what kind of consciousness they need to be able to fight them. The phrase "to be a hero and a coward" simply does not counteract armor and artillery, and does not even prevent the driver from changing forward gears.

If you go any further, you'll understand how terrible it is for the guy who has raised the technical level of the elven camp to this level.

The omniscient magic mirror;

A crystal ball that can see through everything;

- More terrible than these.

"Not a human", "A cursed angel or demon", "An anomaly who seems to bring knowledge from the distant future", "A man who creates a civilization by himself".

This is called Siegfried. Otto. Li Lin's supernatural phenomenon will even make people feel that it is a matter of course that they can't win against him.

The armored car in front of him was just one of the ends of his power.

(It's weird—)

Walking on thin ice, no, right now you are stepping on the hanging spider silk, and below is the abyss. Don't say forward or backward, a breeze can bring disaster.

Under such terrible pressure. The vision suddenly opened up, and the style that hit the face and body was refreshing, and the power continued to gush out of the hot body.

(Obviously, I should feel so nervous and scared that my whole body trembles, but I actually ...... I'm glad and want to shout out -)

The corners of their mouths were raised, and the white knight and mount turned into white lightning again. Cut into the Iron Monster's path forward.

"Hell, our radius of turn is too big!What are machine guns and shotguns doing?!"

The driver, Corporal Hanks, scolded, as the person in the car who still had the strength to scold, he could be said to represent the voice of the crew.

The continuous use of independent hydraulic suspension makes the center of gravity of the body move, and the 8 wheels cooperate with the steering at the same time, so that the moving vehicle can make a similar action of racing car tail flicking and drifting without deceleration or less deceleration. Compared with the old combat vehicles with rigid suspension, torsion bar suspension, and spring suspension, the No. III wheeled self-propelled assault gun is a whole era ahead in terms of lateral mobility and turning radius.

But this is not without cost, imagine a nearly 20-ton armored car traveling at 90 kilometers per hour, and the people in the car are not only swaying from side to side like a speedboat. At the same time, it was also pressed by the laterally moving G-force. In this working environment similar to the drum of a washing machine, no matter how strong you are, you can't escape the end of motion sickness. Due to the proximity to the steering axis most of the time, the driver was in relatively better condition, and the rest of the crew relied entirely on medication to relieve the symptoms.

Depending on the stock of the drug and their own physiological limits, they can hold on until the evening. I believe that by that time, the white unicorn that is entangled in front of me will also be exhausted and exhausted.

However, they did not consider the slightest tactic of delaying attrition. This is not only about military honor, but also greatly exceeds the time limit for combat. Violation of combat orders. In the end, "can you kill the other party" - this previously unimaginable question is emerging with inner anxiety, constantly shaking their confidence.

"Calm down, it's that guy who's being toyed with in the applause. ”

As if with incredible magic, just one sentence brought the atmosphere in the carriage back to normal.

Karlius. Rheinbach turned the periscope and let the figure of the White Knight burn onto the retina.

Let's be honest. The impact of the petite back in front of him was even higher than that of his subordinates.

It was as if the undead had escaped from the war museum, and the cavalry had been crushed by the tracks of the Wehrmacht's armored forces at one time - Karlius did not think that the enemy was despising his own side and attacked with these equipment. Personally comprehending the courage of the opponent to meet even like this, the young armored elite couldn't help but be shocked.

said in his mouth, "It's the other party who is being played", but in his heart he understands that he is being held back, and under the calm surface is a bitter cognition.

It's incredible.

The man;

the unicorn;

It's a pure creature. It's not a fighting machine that can survive by chewing on shells and drinking lube, but the back seen through the periscope is not tired at all, and the unicorn doesn't know when it will be exhausted.

As far as the enemy is concerned, the knight in front of him can be described as perfect, and as an opponent, Karlius can't help but be attracted by that shining figure, and even sprout feelings similar to admiration.

Only by doing everything possible to knock them down is the proper etiquette on the battlefield, and only by giving them a suitable form of death is true respect.

Calm down.

It is no fluke that the opponent can repeatedly break through the defensive line, and the reaction speed, physical strength, and grasp of the position all show the excellent quality of being born in a hundred battles.

However, this alone is not enough, even if he has experienced a hundred battles and seen the Shura Field of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, it is only a thing of the "last era". History has long proven how vulnerable the experience and technology of a backward era are on a completely new battlefield. If you want to launch a counterattack against things that cross generations, you need at least a certain level of intelligence.

The other side is familiar with our army.

What does he know about us?

How our army fights? What is the coup d'état that our army is manipulating behind the scenes? How fast do armored vehicles react?

By the way, the kind of agility that "the guy" showed from the beginning of the engagement proves that he is well aware of the mobility of this assault gun. You should know that it is difficult for us to crush him directly, but it is impossible for him to hurt us with a long sword.

- If so, why did that guy use a longsword?

- Why was there no attempt to evacuate from the Place de la Concorde?

There is no way to avoid the safe evacuation of the people. I'm worried about what if I retreat. Armored vehicles may not chase themselves at all, and instead carry out massacres of the population.

- Really.

- That's right.

- We're "badass" to humans anyway, so let's see as much as we can about how capable that knight is.

Taking a deep breath, Karlius asked:

"How many close-range shotguns are there?"

"If it's an all-round shot, 1 at most. If it is directed fire. It can be fired about 5~6 times. ”

Gunner Hans. Sergeant Hoflinger counted the iron boxes at his feet, these inconspicuous little boxes were actually a variant of the anti-infantry directional mines, and the turret and hull were surrounded by hidden firing mechanisms, and anyone who thought they were hiding in the dead spots of artillery and machine guns and was ready to touch the hull would be baptized by a rain of steel balls.

"Close shotgun turret right reloading!Left turn sideways!Machine gun ready-"

In response to Karlius's command, the assault gun slammed across the body, and the unicorn, which had not had time to adjust synchronously, rushed to the front, and Roland, who hurriedly turned back, saw the barrel of the machine gun on the roof of the car began to rotate, and in front of the muzzle was a group of helpless Charlemagne Marines.

"Fire. ”

Rather than "kill the hero". It's much easier to make others realize that "heroes don't exist" and "heroes aren't useful", and it also serves the purpose of "extinguishing the counterattack symbol".

What's more-

"Close-range shotgun—"

"Anti-infantry aerial shotguns—"

"Launch !!"

The commands were perfectly stacked, the shotgun launcher and mortar thundered at the same time, and the light of the gunpowder burning illuminated Roland as he rode towards him.

- Traps.

Whether it is a hero, a show that unites people's hearts, or a humanitarianism that truly puts human life as the highest priority. Since the purpose was to lure the assault guns away from the scene, as long as the artillery fire was directed to the people, the "heroes" had to rush to the rescue.

Of course. Anyone can think of a trap of this magnitude, if the response is fast enough. You might be able to escape. After all, human beings are often able to do things that are usually unimaginable in the extreme state.

Therefore, it is by no means overly cautious or timid to prepare for the second and third traps.

One kilometer away, another wheeled assault gun raised its barrel high, and twin 120mm mortars erupted into the sky like machine guns.

Adhering to the design concept of "vehicle family" and "generalization" of the armored force of the Defense Force, as well as the attempt of the concept of "modularization". The III wheeled assault gun was designed with the idea of "adapting different modules to meet the needs of different missions". For example, equipping ETC to carry out anti-armor tasks and attacking fortifications, such as dismantling weapons, expanding the space inside the vehicle to become a conveying platform, such as installing anti-aircraft artillery to become a part of the field air defense system, and installing rapid-fire mortars to become an artillery support platform.

Goffret. The second lieutenant of Rheinbach was mounted on this self-propelled mortar under the name of an assault gun. In less than 3 seconds, three towering mortar shells poured down at Roland's back.

The target is the route where the knight is likely to avoid retreating, both to avoid damaging friendly vehicles and blocking the target's retreat.

What is even more unbelievable is that the two crews did not communicate with each other from beginning to end, and there was no observation group in the vicinity to report dynamic information and positional parameters.

It's incredible, it's like magic.

But for the early results of the Reinbach brothers, the Wehrmacht's secret implementation of the Wehrmacht's Fragan agency in colonial Augusta, the vanguard of the "Newtype" soldiers, who possess greater cognitive abilities, intuition, and insight, can allow themselves to communicate with others without words and words, and are powerful warriors like superpowers, for them, sharing their hearts, tactical intelligence and battlefield information directly from the conscious level, is as easy as breathing.

That knight is finished—

The Rheinbach brothers were convinced of this.

Without the blessing of magic, the room for evasion was also blocked, and a mere pair of armor was no different from tissue paper in front of the steel ball shotgun.

Won.

The moment this thought flashed, the figure in Karyus's field of vision quickly enlarged.

"Drink, ah, ah, ah!!!"

The girl's face became extremely clear in an instant, and she understood that it was this girl who was entangled with her assault gun, and before sighing for this, the first thing that thought of Karlius was "she's crazy".

It is true that individual bravery can sometimes achieve great feats that are unimaginable under normal circumstances, but that was the age of farming. In the era of industrialization, the nobility, pride, skill, and bravery of the knights were worthless in the face of steel and gunpowder. The knight who charges at the chariot ends up in a puddle of flesh under the tracks.

Thinking about it from another angle, perhaps the knight thinks that closing the distance can reduce the area of ammunition, and sacrifice one hand in exchange for the roof turntable machine gun. But this is not a shotgun fired by a black powder smoothbore cannon, and the steel ball shotgun fired at close range is even ******more powerful, not to mention blowing off an arm or opening a dozen "faucets" on the body, and smashing the whole person is a piece of cake.

So she must be "crazy", otherwise instead of turning around and dying with mortars, it is better to fight to the death, at least to get a way to die that matches the identity of a knight.

With that in mind, a rose bloomed before Karius's eyes.

“——？！！！”

Silver-white roses, layers of overlapping petals, and gorgeous flowers bloom in large numbers in the air at the same time, and a little bit of bright light makes the white roses even more beautiful.

In the stunned eyes of the Karyus crew, the girl flew out of the rose bush, her sword in her hand drawing a silver arc of light.

"Car...... The roof remote control machine gun is broken!!"

The fault warning sound from the headset brought the gunner back to reality, and the red fault warning light shrouded the interior of the car with an unrealistic layer of color, and for a moment, the members of the Kalius crew were silent.

Because it is a prototype vehicle that was hurriedly pulled onto the battlefield, many details have not yet been perfected, and the power pipeline of the roof remote control machine gun is an external structure, and it is not impossible to be cut off by a sword. But this is not the source of the impact on the elven armorers.

"What...... What just happened?"

Karlius muttered, his widening eyes narrowing suddenly, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

"This guy...... It's really dangerous......!!"

- We have to get rid of her first!

The two minds resonated, and the steel monsters roared, removing everything around them from view, and devoting themselves wholeheartedly and with all their might to hunting Roland.

Explosions and gunfire intertwined, and the vortex of battle and death raged more fiercely at Lüdes. (To be continued.) )
