A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 607 - Chapter 607 Chapter 448 Steel Torrent_1

Chapter 607: Chapter 448 Steel Torrent!_1 Chapter 607: Chapter 448 Steel Torrent!_1 The day was dawning.

Duanmu Huai stood at the railing, staring at the horizon in the distance, his face stern. Standing by his side, Ann, Greiya, Ogis and others were looking at the scene before them with awe.

“This is so over the top……”

Even Zhi Jingxiang was surprised at this moment.

“Are you really going to use this???”

“Of course, this is a provocation to the Tribunal. Since it is so, I don’t mind showing Herman and the Church of AL the true power of the Tribunal!”

After Duanmu Huai finished this sentence, he looked at Maria who was standing aside.

“Start it.”

“Understood!!”

Already eager, Maria nodded at Duanmu Huai’s command and quickly moved to the terminal nearby.

“Everyone prepare, supervise fuel supply and ammunition loading. Ring the big bell once, push the lever, start the pistons and pump!”

While speaking, Maria picked up a book by her side.

“Soul of the God of all Machines, wrap around you…”

“Dang………!!”

The Bronze Big Bell was slowly swinging, giving off a dull sound. And with this, the originally quiet space began to vibrate, echoing a deep and powerful noise.

“Ring the big bell twice, press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, inject life!”

“Dang………!!”

Thick bell sound rang again, bright light as if the light of life, covered everything.

“Ring the big bell three times, sing in unison, praise the God of all Machines!”

“Dang———-!!!”

With the third toll of the bell, everything…is about to change.

The Herman southern border defensive line.

Standing on the city wall and looking at the military deployment below, General Nero Cloudia, the seventh of the Fourth Army, felt his blood boiling.

“Look, Creme!”

Nero, dressed in flashy silver armor, turned a full circle with a rose in his hand like the protagonist in an opera, and pointed ahead.

“This is our Herman army, my great, glorious Fourth Legion! No one can withstand our attack!”

“…Are we really going to launch an attack, General?”

Standing beside Nero was Creme, a deputy wearing black armor from Herman, a man with glasses and golden hair. He frowned slightly, apparently disagreeing with this.

“Of course! Lisas and Seth are no match for us, Lisas had their capital invaded by Herman, Seth was just invaded by the Demon Clan, they are in disarray and they can’t confront our Fourth Army of Herman! And my subordinates——!”

Saying so, Nero waved his hand.

“Here we have fifty thousand soldiers! No enemy can stand against us!”

“But if we enter their territory, we might fall into a trap, and the orders we received did not include invading Seth and Lisas…”

“Humph………”

Upon hearing his lieutenant’s words, Nero’s face darkened as he stared at his deputy and asked.

“Creme, what unit were you previously serving in?”

In response to Nero’s question, Creme hurriedly bowed his head and seriously answered.

“Yes, sir. I originally served in the rear support unit of the Second Army and was assigned to the Fourth Army half a year ago.”

“Huh.”

Upon hearing Creme’s reply, Nero snorted.

“So, it turns out you were in the rear supply unit. It’s understandable then, that you’re unfamiliar with combat and tactics. But in the Fourth Army, you must obey my orders. Do you know who the ideal soldier, in my opinion, is?”

“This… I don’t know.”

“That would be General Toma, who died heroically in the attack operation in Lisas!”

At this point, Nero closed his eyes, revealing a blissful expression.

“What I respect most is a soldier’s death. Soldiers who block life and fight, dying gloriously for their country in the end, what a beautiful scene! To us in the Fourth Legion, this is our ideal, even if we die, it doesn’t matter, as long as we can die a glorious battle, that’s the best! This is the most ideal that can touch people’s hearts!”

“……………..”

Watching the knight before her lecturing about the way of the knight in rapture, Deputy Creme was completely speechless. She knew that on the surface, although Nero Cloudia VII indeed was born into a prestigious family in Herman and graduated top of his Military Officer School, a young elite who was known as Herman’s first – but everyone knew for a fact that both the top title and the position of commander of the Fourth Legion were bought with Cloudia family money.

Otherwise, how could such a young military man ascend to be the commander of the Fourth Legion, one of Herman’s five major legions, overnight?

Moreover, this man has no ability whatsoever. For the military, dying in battle for the country is indeed an honor. But for this man, it’s merely an expression of his vanity. He doesn’t understand war, he doesn’t understand the military, he doesn’t understand anything, just like an ignorant child! Does he really think that real warfare is as romantic as described in storybooks?

Has Herman degraded to this extent now?

Creme lowered his head, listening to Nero’s self-congratulations next to him, feeling anxious. Among Herman’s five major legions, the First Legion was in charge of guarding the Royal City, the Second Legion was stationed to defend against the Demon Defense Line, the Third Army Corps served as special mobile forces in the Royal City, the Fourth Legion was responsible for guarding the southern border to prevent the invasion of other countries, and the Fifth Legion was tasked as guerilla forces for allocation.

In terms of location, the Fourth Legion’s duty was to prevent invasion by other countries. But now, the position of the commander of the Fourth Legion had been handed to someone who had only family background and money, and despite having no ability whatsoever and only indulged in self-praise. It made Creme feel uneasy because this signified that Herman’s upper echelons didn’t consider that other countries would invade Herman at all…..

Although she also believed there was some truth in what Nero said, since Seth was currently busy rebuilding his realm and Lisas may not necessarily take action against Herman.

But that’s based on the premise that they don’t initiate attacks!

If they really decided to launch an invasion, who could be sure whether Seth and Lisas wouldn’t join forces and strike against Herman!

Given Herman’s current political situation, is it really…… alright?

“Hu………”

Oblivious to her deputy’s thoughts, Nero let out a sigh at the end of his speech, before making a gesture.

“I’ve spoken too much and my throat is dry. Get me some tea.”

“Yes, General.”

Upon hearing Nero’s command, a servant quickly stepped forward and served him a cup of hot tea. Just as Nero was about to take a sip, the ground suddenly shook……

“Boom………!”

The sudden shaking of the ground caused Nero’s hand to wobble, almost spilling his tea onto his clothes.

“Damn, what’s going on?”

Nero set down his teacup in displeasure, his brows furrowed.

“Is it an earthquake?”

“No, sir, it doesn’t seem like an earthquake………”

Deputy Creme, eyes wide open, looked anxiously towards the front and said.

Meanwhile, the ground shook again.

“Boom———-Boom———-!!!”

Smoke rose in the distance. At this moment, whether it was intuition or instinct, almost everyone ceased their actions, unconsciously looking up towards the source of the noise.

Then, they saw something……. something beyond their comprehension.

“What……is that thing??!!!”

Looking at the distant silhouette, Nero exclaimed. Meanwhile, Creme quickly grabbed a telescope to examine the object in the distance.

Next, she tensed up, not daring to believe what she was seeing.

Through the telescope, she saw a giant, strange, terrifying, sky-high Steel Giant striding towards them. It was even taller than Herman’s Royal City, and its entire body, including its legs and feet, looked as if it was made of steel. What was most striking was that there was an extravagant and imposing church perched on the shoulder of this Steel Giant!

Moreover, in front of this Steel Giant, Creme saw several Steel War Cars that zoomed forwards without the need for any animal to pull them!

“Give me that!!”

Before Creme could take a longer look, Nero snatched the telescope in a hurry. The moment he looked through it, his face turned pale and his legs gave way. He collapsed onto the ground.

“What, what exactly is that?”

“I suspect it’s a weapon of the Tribunal.”

Creme had recognized the Skull Head and War Hammer symbols emblazoned on the Steel Giant, marking them as the symbols of the Tribunal. In fact, these symbols were so identifiable that anyone familiar with the Tribunal would remember them – they were simply too villainous to be forgotten.

“Sir!”

Creme turned to Nero and said quickly.

“Given the urgent situation, we should immediately send someone to inform the Congress about this! At the same time, we should mobilize the soldiers and defend the city!”

“Defend the city?”

Upon hearing this, Nero jumped up as if he had been bitten by a rat.

“Don’t mention defending the city! What a vulgar and ridiculous term! I forbid you to mention it again!”

“But……”

“No buts!”

Nero made an abrupt gesture, cutting Creme off.

“The invincible Herman Knight Group will always charge! Charge! And charge again! This spirit must never falter! They are merely a handful of steel monsters, I refuse to believe that our Fourth Legion, our fifty thousand soldiers, can’t defeat these monsters! Even if we must die, we will die with honor, on the path of charging towards the enemy! Relay my orders, prepare the entire army for a surprise attack on the enemy!!!”

“……………”

Looking at the furious Nero before her, Creme knew that anything she had to say would be of no use.
