Chapter 451 Thunder Roar

Standing on the platform, Duanmu Huai stared at the city in the distance with cold eyes. This time, Duanmu Huai put a lot of effort into dealing with Hermann. In addition to a 64-meter-high Emperor-class Titan, Duanmu Huai was also equipped with an armored battalion. These included three poison sword heavy attack tanks, fifteen Leman Russ siege tanks and six Valkyrie gunships.

Frankly speaking, using these to deal with a country with medieval civilization is basically like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes and using a butcher knife to kill chickens.

In fact, if you just consider the battle, you only need a few Leman Russ tanks, or pull out a Night Raven Black Star alone.

But for Duanmu Huai, the purpose of this battle is not just as simple as victory.

Although Duanmu Huai couldn't figure out why the AL Church attacked him because of insufficient intelligence, no matter what, the moment the AL Church attacked the Inquisition, the nature of this war became a holy war.

Originally, Duanmu Huai's idea was to deal with the life and death of these indigenous gods after dealing with the God of Creation, but now that the other party has come to the door, it is not a bad idea to change the order.

In fact, the reason why Duanmu Huai made such a fuss was the same as when he used orbital bombing against the Na'vi on Pandora.

Establish prestige.

If it were the protagonists in many online articles, they would often like to play the pig and eat the tiger. They could obviously win a big victory, but they had to be cautious and hide their trump cards until the end. So that the enemy would think that the protagonist's victory was just luck, and then they would be careless and overturn.

Of course, if it is purely from a tactical perspective, this may be correct. But the problem is that the nature of the holy war is different.

It can be said that from now on, the Inquisition will compete with the AL Church for the believers on this continent—to put it bluntly, it will start to snatch believers directly!

In this case, it is essential to show all believers the incomparable power and unstoppable majesty of the Inquisition. The strategy of playing the pig and eating the tiger is absolutely unacceptable at this time. It must be strong, strong, and strong again, directly pushing the AL Church into a corner, so that it can only tremble.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai built this Emperor-class Titan and released it.

He just wants to tell the believers on this continent that I am so awesome! Even if the goddess Alice you believe in comes, she will have to kneel down and sing "Conquer" in front of me!

Duanmu Huai doesn't believe that the AL Church has anything that can compare to the Emperor-class Titan. Once the AL Church loses its momentum, the believers will naturally decrease. In addition, the Tribunal has discounts and even free medical treatment. You don't need to ask who the believers will choose.

Many times, believers choose gods, in the final analysis, hoping that they can have a backer. And if he finds that his backer is not awesome enough, it is only a matter of time before he changes his sect.

Of course, another reason is to give Maria some experience. As a mechanical engineer, she certainly can't just read books in the back, but also go to the front line to observe the performance of these machines in actual combat, and then determine the improvement plan. So Duanmu Huai simply formed an armored formation and gave it to Maria to command.

Just as Duanmu Huai's Tribunal army was advancing, the soldiers of Hermann's Fourth Legion also discovered these huge steel creations. They were terrified and at a loss, and had no idea what to do. Soon the commander asked the general for instructions, and then they received the order from the general.

All-army assault! Destroy the enemy!

Assault? ? ?

Looking at the order in front of them, many generals couldn't even believe their eyes. You want them to fight these huge steel monsters with their flesh and blood? Not to mention the giant that is taller than the mountain, how can they assault?

Rushing over to die? !

However, military orders are difficult to disobey. Soon, the entire Fourth Legion that received the order was dispatched, led by Knight Hermann, and rushed directly towards the armored corps in front. Of course, they still have some considerations in their hearts-after all, there are tens of thousands of people on their side, and although the opposite side looks terrifying, the number is limited. In this case, it is not impossible to fight?

Probably?

However, at the same time as they were moving, the armored corps in front had already started moving.

"Boom————!"

The first to open fire was the Poison Sword super-heavy tank in the center. With a thunderous roar, a seismic bomb whizzed out. These shells were not ordinary shells. They were not filled with high-explosive chemicals such as gunpowder, but fragments of planets destroyed by the extinction order.

In simple terms, the fragments of these seismic bombs were the fragments that erupted when the planets were completely destroyed by the extinction order. The explosion and shock wave of a planet's destruction were thus preserved and loaded into the shells after multiple procedures.

When it explodes, it will reproduce this power on the battlefield.

Just like now.

"—————————!!!!"

The whistling shells passed through the battlefield and directly hit the front line of the Fourth Army. Then, a scene like hell appeared - the ground began to tremble, and a huge earthquake broke out without any warning in the center of the battlefield, directly covering most of the Fourth Army. The whistling shock wave swept across the battlefield, tearing everything along the way into pieces.

As for the soldiers who were far away and not affected, they were not much better. The earthquake made the entire ground under their feet like a trampoline. Almost in an instant, the soldiers felt that they were thrown high into the air and then fell heavily to the ground. Not only that, because the earthquake made the ground soft, the constant shaking made it difficult for these soldiers to stand firmly, let alone fight.

Then, the Leman Russ tanks opened fire.

One after another, high-explosive shells flew into the crowd. Because of the tremors and impacts of the earth, the bodies of these soldiers swayed left and right, and they couldn't even stabilize their bodies. Not to mention raising shields to resist attacks—of course, shields are useless.

Soon, sparks accompanied by the explosion bloomed in the Fourth Legion, completely blowing those soldiers who didn't have time to stand firmly into bloody fragments.

In just one encounter, the Fourth Legion suffered heavy losses. Although they had as many as 50,000 people, they had no way to deal with the battle in front of them.

But for the soldiers of the Fourth Legion, this was just the beginning. With the roar of Leman Russ's artillery fire, the Valkyrie gunships hovering in the air also dived down quickly, like an eagle of death, and began to bring endless disasters and destruction to the ground. Hell strike missiles burst out one after another, multiple rocket nests kept spraying flames, and laser beams fell from the sky, sweeping across the battlefield, turning everything along the way into scorched earth.

At this time, the Fourth Legion had completely begun to become chaotic. They had never faced such an enemy, nor had they experienced such a battle. Every roar of artillery was deafening, making them unable to hear other people's words at all. It was very likely that in the blink of an eye, the soldiers around him would be directly blown into the sky and turned into broken corpses.

But Hermann was a brave country after all. Even in this situation, the Fourth Legion still did not collapse, but desperately tried to avoid the enemy's firepower, reorganize the team, and survive as much as possible from this destructive artillery fire.

"General! We can't resist any longer!"

When the messenger appeared in front of Nero again, he was also covered in blood.

"We can't resist the enemy's attack at all! Please order a retreat!"

"Retreat?"

Hearing this, Nero jumped up immediately.

"What a joke, as a soldier of Herman's glory, this is the time for you to die for your country! Pass on my order, charge! Charge! Charge again! As soldiers of the glorious kingdom, even if you die, you must die on the way to the charge! No retreat is allowed! Do you understand?"

"What...?"

Hearing this, the messenger turned pale, and after Nero gave the order, he left the city wall without looking back. Seeing him leave, Adjutant Krim sighed and looked at the messenger.

"Pass my order, all troops retreat immediately, surrender is allowed, and now try to preserve the manpower as much as possible!"

"But........."

"I'll talk to the general."

"Okay."

The messenger saluted Krim, then turned and left, while Krim shook his head silently, then turned and left.

When Krim walked down the wall, Nero was hurriedly walking towards her. Seeing Krim, Nero also spoke hurriedly.

"Ah, you came at the right time, Krim. I want you to lead the troops to guard the South Gate immediately, and never allow those monsters to get close. Do you understand?"

"Lord Nero? Excuse me, what are you doing........."

Looking at Nero's hurried appearance, Krim frowned, and the latter snorted coldly.

"It's none of your business what I do, anyway, you go to guard the South Gate immediately!"

"............Yes."

Hearing this, Krim could only salute silently, and then turned and left with his subordinates.

When Krim arrived at the south gate, the battle situation in front of him had become a complete mess. After receiving the order, the remnants of the Fourth Army almost immediately chose to retreat. And Krim did not hesitate, and directly chose to open the gate to let all the fleeing Fourth Army soldiers enter the city.

"Adjutant Krim, what should we do next?"

While dealing with the remnants entering the city, the messenger looked at Krim uneasily, while the latter looked at the steel giant coming from a distance and sighed lightly.

"We surrender."

"Surrender? But General Nero... "

"Lord Nero, I'm afraid he is no longer here."

Krim shook his head.

"We can't really do what he said and fight to the death here, so what should the people of this city do?"

"……………………"

"We can't win."

Krim raised his head again, his eyes became much firmer.

"So, I order you to open the city and surrender."
