mechanical court

[-], the rainy season.

Under the approval of the cabinet, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies decided to start conquering the Chaldean Kingdom east of Mirren before the Mech Legion was formed, and completely expelled the mother river civilization that had been hindering the empire's eastward advance from the "Fortress of the East". .

Chaldea (meaning the groundbreaker) is occupied by a group of sealed people who are good at forging, steelmaking, and city building.The seal family is tall, fair-skinned, with an average height of about four meters. Their appearance is similar to that of humans, and they use agglutinative and cuneiform characters.Possesses unique farming technology, astronomical calendar, art, and believes in the 72 pillars of demon gods headed by the god of thunder Baal.

The Kingdom of Chaldea was built between the two mother rivers of Karasu and Hiddeje, and owned a series of fertile lands in the mother river basin and nearby.The regular flooding of the mother river basin makes fertile soil suitable for farming accumulated due to the flooding of the mother river.Because it looks like a triangular shield on the map, it happened to be stuck on the road of the empire's eastward advance, so it was called the "Fortress of the East".

The upper reaches of the mother river basin are clustered with lakes and densely covered with swamps, and the lower reaches are fertile. An irrigation network was developed early on, forming an agricultural society centered on many cities.Because the two sides flow along the foothills, the tributaries along the way have short flow and fast water collection, which often cause the river to surge and flood, forming a vast and fertile alluvial plain along the coast, which is a rare fertile soil.

Since the Sealed Clan has a feud with the werewolf nomads in the east, the wars continue every year, so they rarely conflict with the Empire.In addition, before the Menesians were invaded by the aliens, the most troublesome enemy had always been the barbarians in the south, so there was no deep hatred between the two countries.

Precisely because there is no deep hatred, the empire's plan to conquer Chaldea has maintained a certain degree of flexibility.Either surrender completely and become a servant country of the empire, or get out of the mother river basin and give up the Eastern Fort.Otherwise, they will be treated as ordinary barbarians, and the extermination order will be implemented, so that the mother river civilization will disappear completely.

one-one-one-one

When the envoy of the Sun King arrived in the Kingdom of Chaldea and made a vassal request to King Belshazzar, the king rejected him helplessly and angrily, and personally cut off the envoy's hands to show his determination to resist.

King Belshazzar's utter desperation was not because he had too much confidence, but because of a stress response prompted by fear.Living next to the Menesian Empire, Belshazzar witnessed the rapid changes of the other side.In fact, although his character is relatively arrogant, he is a ruler with a certain vision.

A few years ago, after seeing that Menis had a four-cropping planting method with a yield of [-] jin per mu, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong, and even planned to join forces with the wolf and lizard tribes to attack Menis.Strangling this country that might become a monster in the metamorphosis period, but before they formally formed an alliance, Menis was already devastated by the disaster.

At that time, demon disasters broke out frequently in various parts of the empire, and even the cities and cultivated land were all abandoned, and they retreated into military fortresses to resist monsters.No matter how you look at it, it looks like a pill, so Belshazzar's plan to start in advance died before it was implemented.Who knew that the Menesians survived the evil disaster, not only didn't consume much national power, but also transformed into an invisible monster under his nose.

According to reports from Belshazzar's spies, the Menesians have already been organized and equipped with giant cannons that can breathe thunder and fire, and can also manipulate invulnerable chariots that feed on oil, and can even summon a giant iron bird that is extremely fast Large-scale ground bombing.

It must be sorcery!

From Belshazzar's point of view, the Menes Empire has become abnormal to an almost outrageous degree, and the source of all these sorceries must be the Sun King of this generation.It is rumored that the Sun King of this generation possesses boundless magic power. Not only can he easily release the magic fire that destroys cities and ponds, but he can also summon the invincible giant of light to serve him.

In the historical records of the Sealed Clan, it is clearly mentioned that the name of the giant of light is Ugarth, and it also has a companion named Apus!

And this Apus is the mortal enemy of Thor Barr, the god of the dark abyss of the mother river civilization!

Since the Sun King can summon the Giant of Light, he must be an associate of the God of the Dark Abyss, and his terrifying magic power must also be a gift from the God of the Abyss.As a believer of the god of thunder Baal, Belshazzar firmly believes that the sealed clan is blessed by the gods and has an obligation to maintain the glory of the gods, and must not compromise with the god of the abyss.

The gods will keep their followers!

With this in mind, Belshazzar recruited allies, hoping for reinforcements from them.On the one hand, large-scale conscription is preparing to rely on the protection of the giant fortress to gain precious time.

On the other side, when the dying envoy was sent back to the empire, Ivan immediately authorized the cabinet to launch a war of conquest.

The Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies, which had already sharpened its knives and was hungry and thirsty, immediately dispatched troops and sent a total of 20 troops, including armored divisions, artillery divisions, and infantry divisions, to the Mirren area.Just two days later, the conquerors received almost no decent resistance, and pushed all the way under the giant fortress, preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the sealed clan.

one-one-one-one

Boom boom boom!

Under the saturated bombardment of the Imperial Artillery Corps, the giant fortress built by the Sealed Clan quickly collapsed.The sound of artillery fire and dust flooded the entire battlefield, and the disintegrated stones and dust formed a torrent of waterfalls, which washed away the entire fortress.

Under the powerful impact, the buildings collapsed one after another, and the six arrow towers embedded in the city wall collapsed almost at the same time, drawing an oblique arc and falling into the sea of ​​dust everywhere.

Accompanied by ear-piercing bangs and large clouds of gunpowder smoke, the main city wall was reduced to rubble under the bombardment of artillery fire.

Ozzy was wearing the uniform of the Holy Knights, standing on the steep mountain on the right side of the battlefield, overlooking the devastating battle situation below - in order to ensure the victory of the battle, the Holy Knights also sent a squadron to participate in this conquest seal The War of a Clan: However, from the beginning of the battle to the present, he has not received an order to participate in the battle, obviously because the enemy was defeated too quickly, and the commander had no time to use the trump card of the holy knight.

"The sealed clan guarding the Eastern Land is only at this level." Behind Ozzy, one of his subordinates spread his hands and said contemptuously.

"It's not that they are too weak, but that we have become stronger." Another holy knight shook his head and said calmly.

"Captain Oz, look, their army has already collapsed. If we don't go down to get some credit, they will surrender." The holy knight who spoke earlier looked extremely anxious, stamping his feet eagerly , showing an impatient expression.

"The order I received is to obey the command absolutely. If you dare to disobey the military order, I will kill you with my own hands."

Saying this, Oz gave the other party a cold glance, causing him to shrink back with his head drooping.Then he continued to look down on the battlefield, his eyes burning with fighting intent swept across the horizon, at the end of his vision, the werewolf's skeleton battle flag was whimpering in the wind, representing another fresh force is rushing to the battlefield.

……

After defeating the defenders of the fort head-on, the imperial army pursued ten kilometers forward and wiped out all the defeated troops of the Sealed Clan.

The moment they faced the werewolf army, the imperial army did not hesitate to put on an offensive posture. The vast formation spread out by the 20-strong army is like a carpet, covering the entire plain and cutting off the sight line.

As far as the werewolf leader could see, there were steel chariots rushing forward with rumble and coercion, like a sea of ​​steel undulating.The roaring sound of the engine indicates the conqueror's boiling fighting spirit, and the firm footsteps witness the high-pitched will of the imperial army.On the battlefield under the oppression of the army, the werewolf army seemed more and more sluggish, and the giant wolf under them also drooped their ears and wailed timidly.

"My God, what kind of army is this?"

Facing the imperial army with the power of great victory, the leader of the wolf clan was timid. He couldn't imagine how his army would shake the front formed by the torrent of steel.

Since there is no chance of winning, then retreat.

If you want to curb the ambition of the Menesians to conquer the East, you must unite more tribes and gather more allies!As for the Sealed Clan... I hope they can buy enough time for themselves!

Woo-woo-woo!

Amidst the deep and loud sound of the horn, the army of the wolf clan quickly turned around and withdrew like a tide.

"What... understand... yes!"

At the same time, Ozzy received the commander's order, and in the process of taking the order, golden flames quickly ignited in his eyes.The next moment, he leaped violently, leaped down from the edge of the cliff, and instantly turned into a golden shooting star, chasing after the retreating wolf troops.

Immediately afterwards, the holy knights under his command jumped down, reflecting the blue sky, turning into golden shooting stars across the sky.

one-one-one-one

The retreat of the wolf army was dull and fast. After retreating without a fight, almost every wolf warrior was in a state of trance.Even the giant wolves beneath them had their tails between their legs when retreating, as if they were afraid that the enemy would smell them.

"..."

The leader of the wolf tribe rode his mount and galloped forward silently. Even the strong wind blowing towards his face could not blow away the cloud covering his heart.The collapse of the giant fortress, the horror of the Menesian army pressing in, all these were like invisible chains wrapped around the leader's heart, and the feeling of suffocation penetrated into the deepest part of his heart.

"Look! There are shooting stars!"

"Golden meteor! The golden meteor is coming!"

"That's not a shooting star! That's the holy knight of Menis! The whole army is on alert!"

Just as the leader was running madly, the entire army suddenly rioted. Because they were retreating at full speed, many people didn't even have time to respond to the order.This caused some people to continue running wildly, and some people tried to stop and prepare for the battle.The result was that two groups of people collided head-on, and thousands of werewolves collided head-on.

Amidst the muffled sound of the head-on collision and the wailing of the wolves, dozens of golden meteors suddenly deflected.With a scream piercing through the air, flashing arcs were drawn, and it galloped to land in front of the leader of the wolf tribe.

Bang Bang Bang!

The ground was smashed out of large and small craters, and in these craters, a group of human warriors in exquisite armor leaped out and directly stopped in front of the leader of the wolf tribe.

"You are the leader of the wolf clan!?"

Ozzy led a group of subordinates without any fear, but there were only a few dozens of people in the team. Facing the wolf army of tens of thousands, it had the power of a large army.

After a moment of silence, the leader of the wolf clan did not dare to pull out the scimitar after all, and then raised his head, trying to make himself look dignified:
