The two-thousand-plus-ton Heavenly “Juggernaut tank” rumbled over, and everyone else unconsciously retreated as this moving castle-like steel monster traveled along. Not only people, even horses couldn't wait to get away from this moving steel monster like they were avoiding a natural disaster. Any creature that saw the Heavenly “Juggernaut tank” traveling had the feeling of a landslide of rocks collapsing directly in front of them.

　　Two thousand tons of weight, even the total weight of the World War II Gustav train gun was only one thousand three hundred and fifty tons. At the rear of the “Juggernaut tank” were two one meter diameter exhaust ducts, both of them belching white smoke exhaust. The engine of the beast was powered by a steam runner driven by the combustion of hydrogen produced by the Timonium mineral, which burned at a calorific value to produce a thrust far greater than that of Earth's coal-burning engines.

　　The arrival of two such “Juggernaut tanks” meant the arrival of Giacomo's main force. It meant the arrival of Giacomo's main force. The huge “Juggernaut tanks” were like sacred totems that boosted the morale of the Mina's army, the “Juggernaut tanks” were also a symbol of industrial power in this era.

　　The “Juggernaut tanks” gave the last psychological destruction to the soldiers holding the city-state, hundreds of steam cannons fired a covering straddle, and the two “Juggernaut tanks” increased their power and rushed towards the resisting soldiers. The two “Juggernaut tanks” increased their horsepower and rushed towards the resisting soldiers. One of the city's mortars tries to stop the ultimate war machine.

It fired a spherical shell, which arced in a high trajectory and landed twenty meters in front of the Juggernaut tank, kicking up a cloud of dust before bouncing off the front of the tank and exploding. After the rumbling and flashing of fire, the Juggernaut tank rushed out from the smoke and dust of the explosion, and only part of its armor was blackened. After failing to penetrate the Juggernaut tank's armor, the huge turret of the Juggernaut tank was aimed at the city-state, and the elevation of the turrets on both sides was adjusted upwards, as Renyu watched the Juggernaut tank. Renyu looked at the direction of the Juggernaut tank's two turret elevation angles, and figured out that the Juggernaut tank's gunner's sights were aimed at the military zone.

　　“The barrel of the Juggernaut tank erupted into flames and an explosion occurred on a high building in the military zone of the city-state. The cannon of the “Juggernaut tank” is different from the steam cannon, and the tank uses a cannon that discharges the shell so quickly that the trajectory of the shell is invisible to the naked eye. Flames flashed from the muzzle of the cannon, and the target four hundred meters away instantly exploded. The shockwave lifted down the mortar on the high building, and the thick and short barrel of the mortar kept colliding in the process of falling, and finally smashed into two halves on the ground, and countless fragments of the many buildings collided with it were also spewed out.

　　The square turret of the “Juggernaut tank” rotated slightly, and five seconds later, another gun was pointed at the target and fired, and the already tragic military zone blossomed again with huge flames in the same spot. Suddenly a violent flash of light exploded from the military building, and then a mushroom cloud rose up in place of the military zone.

　　Renyu was a bit stunned, the explosion could not have been caused by a shell from a “Juggernaut tank”. but by a martyrdom explosion at the ammunition depot in the military zone. “After the spear-like barrel of the Juggernaut tank completed its kill, it slowly turned to aim at the trembling cavalry and infantry. The Kondoti Arie knights were dumbfounded by this powerful industrial war machine. If there was no defense force around the Juggernaut tank, the knights could have fought it by taking advantage of the turret's slow rotation. However, the Juggernaut tank was flanked by a large number of Mina soldiers and mechanical troops.

　　Watching the tracks of the tanks rumble. A collapse occurred in these last pockets of resistance. Thousands of soldiers poured into the ragged city-state along with the tanks, and the flag of the city-state of Mina flew at the highest point of this city-state, heralding the end of the entire battle of the Dilsey Plains. Vinucci's ally, the Duke of Silari, had been depleted of 90% of his military strength in the battle, and the Mina Legion prepared to attack the Duke of Silari's last stronghold, the Crags of Fleeglo.

Due to the elimination of a large number of maneuvering forces in the Dilsey Plains, the Fleeglo Crags were already undermanned. And there was also a political crisis within the city-state of Fleeglo, with the opposition beginning an armed uprising. This gave the Mina Legion a perfect time to attack Fleeglo.

While Duke Silari's military forces have been largely eliminated, Mina has wasted a great deal of time during the four-month-long campaign, which has seen another of The Doge's allies, the “Roch King” of the Wastelands, invade to the southeast and take the city-states of Montiragula and Vanrassa, closing in on the capital city of Mina. This means that the main force of the Mina Legion must return to the capital to defend it. But the opportunity to attack Fleeglo Crags is a rare one.

This option does not exist in the game, each battle is fought before the next stage of the plot is triggered, which means that no matter how long the battle is fought in the game, the game does not affect the plot development by default. And now four months of fierce battles on the Great Plains of Dilsey had seriously affected the plot development.

　　This contingency was unforeseen by the surviving travelers.

　　"We need a vanguard force to reach Fliglow, and that vanguard force is going to keep the pressure on Fliglow until our main force has relieved the crisis in the capital. It will take about three months." General Kalini proposed at the strategy meeting.

　　The proposal made perfect sense, and Kalini said to Giacomo as he ran his finger over the map of Vinci's earth, “Go through the city of Kondoti Arie and take it to attack the forest of Sylia.”

　　Giacomo: "Kondotti Airi?"

Liane Lana: "Kondoti Eri!"

These two said at the same time in surprise.

　　"Yes it's Kondoti Arie." Kalini said under her breath with certainty.

　　After arriving in this world for half a year, Renyu and other travelers have a general understanding of the political situation of this world.The city of Kondoti Arie has great significance.In terms of industrial strength, this city-state is very weak, but this is the capital of the ancient Vinci Empire.The Kondoti Arie cavalry camps spread throughout the Vinci continent were the imperial legions stationed throughout the Vinci Empire back then. And the Kondoti Arie cavalry camps were spread throughout the Vinci continent. It can be seen that the ancient Vinci empire that unified Vinci at the beginning was so glorious, and now Vinci, whether it is the king of Mina or Fleeglo's Silari Duke and the wilderness of the “Rock King”. At that time, they all received the title of ancient Vinci Empire.

　　The word Empire is no ordinary title, though the inhabitants of Kondoti Arie are very resistant to technology and don't want firearms to influence the knightly class. But the former capital of the Empire is still the capital of glory.

The supreme administrator of the Kingdom of Mina only dared to call himself a king, never an emperor.The significance of the entry of Mina's legions into the city-state of Kondoti Arie. There is a similar account in an ancient Chinese book. During the Spring and Autumn period, the king of the state of Chu - King Chuang of Chu, who was a vassal divided by the Son of Heaven of Zhou. He entered the capital of the Zhou Dynasty with his soldiers, pointed to the symbol of their state - the giant tripod, which had been handed down for almost a thousand years, and asked: how much does this thing weigh and how many people can move it!

The corner of Renyu's mouth twitched as he looked at Kalini, the bald uncle.General Kalini ignored everyone's strange gazes and continued, “According to the current investigation, there are two factions vying for the dominance of Kondoti Arie Castle.One faction is the Munduccio people, who are now occupying the castle, and the other is the Vrilli people, who are united with more than 80% of the organizations in the Kondoti Arie City State and are preparing to seize the Kondoti Arie Castle.”

Giacomo looked at the intelligence on Kondoti Arie and said, “I am prepared to aid the Monduccios. We don't have time to attack Kondoti Arie Castle and should act as a supreme force to mediate this conflict. Support the weaker Monduccios to hold the castle and maintain our influence in the region.”

　　Giacomo still had some diplomatic judgment now, Giacomo didn't want to be hated by the other powers until he defeated the Governor. And mediate Kondoti Arie, use Kondoti Arie's internal conflict to insert a wedge first, step by step expand Mina's influence here. As long as the Governor is defeated completely. As the most powerful industrial force in Vinci, it naturally has the qualification to establish a new empire.

　　This kind of diplomacy, Renyu is a bit familiar, this is not the number one shit-stirrer on earth, Britain likes to do! Kalini continued, “The next step is to choose the spearhead of the attack on the Fleeglo area.”

　　“I am willing to accept this mission.” The loud voice attracted the attention of the members in the conference room, and Renyu looked at Andrew in surprise as he volunteered to take this mission next. Didn't wait for Renyu to figure out why. Andrew twisted his head and smiled at Renyu, then smiled and said to the three chiefs Giacomo, Kalini, and Carlini, “I need the assistance of Artillery Captain Renyu.”

　　These words, like a thunderbolt, exploded in Renyu's ears.Renyu inwardly growled, “What kind of heavy artillery do you need in this broken mountainous terrain.”

　　Andrew continued, “It would be best if Mechanic Inoue Ohno could join me on this mission as well.”

　　Giacomo immediately said, “The artillery can be allocated to you, but Inoue Ohno can't, he's in charge of several tech projects right now.”

A flicker of regret flashed in Andrew's eyes as Kalini continued, “Do you want anyone else?” Andrew shook his head.Renyu's name flashed through his mind - Vasirez (The Traveler).

“He's trying to stall the two competitors, Inoue Ohno and I, and then create an opportunity for Vasirez.” Renyu understood but there was no way to remedy the situation.Giacomo had turned his attention to himself and said “Ensign, you and Ensign Andrew must hold out in the Fleeglo area for three months.”
