"attack!!"
At the same time, the noble coalition forces outside Shuanglong Pass also engaged in a fierce battle with the 4th Armored Division, and the opponent's mechas also rushed over at this time, intending to fight a decisive battle with the 4th Armored Division's tanks.
However, at this moment, suddenly, several golden, weird-looking things flew from the sky and rushed towards the mechas. Then, beams of light shot out from both sides of the drones and hit the mechas.
"Defend immediately! Defend!!"
Facing the attack of the drone, the mechas raised their shields and blocked the attack. However, the drone turned flexibly and quickly went around the back of the mechas and attacked again, hitting their joints. With the sound of the explosion, the mechas shook and fell to the ground.
"oh?"
Seeing this scene, Lieutenant General Olaf's eyes suddenly lit up.
To be honest, the quality and experience of the regular army are far from comparable to the private soldiers of the noble coalition army. But these humanoid mechas are indeed a headache. They are not only extremely flexible and fast, but also can use shields and wield long swords to fight like humans. To be honest, Lieutenant General Olaf is also very troubled about how to deal with these mechas.
But now, watching these drones fighting against mechas, he discovered that these mechas were not without weaknesses.
The first is the observation range.
This mecha, like a human, has a limited field of vision. The weird little thing took advantage of the time when the mecha raised its shield to block the attack and circled around it, so it didn't see it at all.
Secondly, the joints of these mechas are quite fragile. Not only that, Vice Admiral Olaf also discovered that as long as the leg joints of these mechas are destroyed, they are basically useless! That's right, just like the mecha that was attacked and had its right leg disabled. It was now half lying on the ground, waving its weapons in vain, but it had no way to cause any damage to the flexible gadgets around it.
It's almost like a human being.
Lieutenant General Olaf carefully observed the battle between the drone and the mecha, then his eyes lit up and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
First of all, the opponent is fast and responsive, but their problem is the range. These mechas are holding shields and long swords, and can basically only fight in close combat. But his armored troops are tanks! He can attack from a long distance first, and then speed up in close combat! After all, tanks are much shorter than these mechas. As long as they have enough mobility, they can play with these mechas at will!
"Looking at it this way, these iron shells aren't that great."
At this moment, Lieutenant General Olaf became more and more excited the more he thought about it. Then he waved his hand and gave an order.
"All troops, listen to my command! Prepare for action!!!"
When the commander of Shuanglongguan Fortress learned that the 4th Armored Division's defense line had been breached, he jumped up.
"How is this possible? Are those mechas we deployed completely useless?!"
"Report, report to the commander! They have a very strange weapon that can fly in the air, and our mecha soldiers are completely unable to resist it..."
"Waste, a bunch of waste!"
The fortress commander angrily threw down the microphone, then looked at the orange-haired girl not far away.
"Miss Craig, I'm sorry to say that you have to come with me."
"What do you want to do?!"
Feeling the chill in the fortress commander's eyes, the orange-haired girl clenched her fists.
"I am also the daughter of an imperial soldier. No matter what you want me to do, you will not succeed! Father will not be fooled by a despicable person like you. Even if you take me and my brother as hostages, he will not surrender!"
"Yeah?"
Hearing this, the commander of the fortress gritted his teeth, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the orange-haired girl's long hair, and pulled her over. The orange-haired girl screamed in pain and was pulled in front of the commander of the fortress.
"Then I'll see if your father still has the courage to charge in if I strip you naked and hang you outside the fortress gate!"
"you……"
Hearing this, the orange-haired girl's face suddenly turned pale, and looking at her frightened expression, the fortress commander also showed a smug smile.
"Hehehe, red-haired Craig? That's old news. I want him to know...what sound?"
Just when the fortress commander was subconsciously planning to say a few harsh words, suddenly, a whistling sound rang from his ears. The fortress commander looked around in confusion. However, before he could figure out what was going on, accompanied by a loud bang, the ceiling in front of the fortress commander suddenly shattered and collapsed.
"boom!!!"
Dust flew everywhere, mixed with air waves, spraying the fortress commander with dirt. He coughed loudly a few times, then looked forward, and was surprised to find three round, tin-can-like objects standing upright in front of him.
What is this? Is it a regular army shell? But where can I find such a big shell?
“Puff——”
Just as the commander of the fortress was puzzled, the three black iron barrels in front of him began to emit white gas from the gaps, and then slowly expanded. Then...
“It’s so exciting!”
Alfin raised his hands high and jumped out.
“This is so interesting!!”
At this moment, Elfen's face was pale and her legs were shaking, but her eyes were shining.
Indeed, after parachuting from an orbit at an altitude of 30,000 meters, Elfin was frightened and screamed desperately at first, but what she didn't expect was that during the process of screaming, Elfin felt a rare sense of catharsis and - relief!
That’s right, it’s a blast!!
As a princess of a country, Elfin is naturally qualified. She is gentle, well-loved, and can perfectly show her every move in front of the people. But Elfin is also under pressure deep in her heart, especially in the current situation, with the nobles rebelling and the empire in turmoil. As a princess, she neither has the talent like her brother nor is she the heir to the throne like her brother. What should she do... Elfin has always been distressed.
But with that scream just now, Elfen felt that the depression and distress that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time were swept away. She even felt that she had never been so relaxed since she could remember!
"Oh, it's really interesting. I think it's quite funny too."
On the other side, Miriam also ran out with a smile on her face.
"It's so fun to fall from such a height and still be fine!"
“…”
The fortress commander was stunned when he saw two girls suddenly emerging from the iron can in front of him. But when he saw Elfen clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
"Your Highness?!"
"Who are you……"
Hearing the voice of the fortress commander, Alfin also looked at him. However, when he saw the girl whose hair was pulled by the fortress commander, Alfin frowned immediately.
"How dare you be so rude!"
"That's right, let go of that big sister, or I will be rude to you."
At this moment, Miriam also raised her fist and roared at the fortress commander. Perhaps because the fortress commander was distracted by the appearance of Elfin, he quickly drew out the long sword from his waist and put it against the neck of the orange-haired girl.
"Don't come over here! If you dare to come over here, I will kill her!"
"Uncle, you can't get away even if you kill her."
Miriam pouted at the threat from the fortress commander.
"Your troops are all destroyed, and we have breached your fortress. You might as well surrender as soon as possible."
"So what?"
The fortress commander was also forced into a corner at this moment. He looked at the two girls in front of him with a ferocious and distorted expression.
"Now that it has come to this, do you think I have anything to worry about?"
"Woooooa ...
Miriam was startled when she saw the commander of the fortress’ red eyes, and she quickly pulled Alfin.
"Your Highness, this person is not right, you must be careful!"
"Humph, since it has come to this, I will take someone with me before I die!!"
As he spoke, the fortress commander pulled the orange-haired girl's long hair hard. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, and the sharp sword blade slashed directly towards the girl's neck!
At the same time, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the sharp blade. Fang Zheng strode out, holding the sword tightly in his left hand and clenching his right hand into a fist. He punched the fortress commander in the face and knocked him out.
"With just this little ability, you're still wandering around?"
Fang Zheng clapped his hands and looked at the fortress commander who was smashed against the wall and passed out.
"It's really a way to get yourself killed."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the orange-haired girl standing blankly beside him.
"Are you all right, miss?"
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the orange-haired girl stared at him blankly. After a moment, she suddenly threw herself into Fang Zheng's arms and began to cry loudly.
“Swish, swish—!!”
“Wow…”
Seeing this scene, Miriam immediately started whistling without thinking, and although Princess Elfin next to her covered her eyes, looking at her "standard" action of spreading her fingers, it was clear that she had no intention of following the rules of not looking at what is inappropriate.
As the commander of the fortress was knocked unconscious by Fang Zheng's punch, the 4th Mecha Division broke through the last line of defense, and Shuanglongguan Fortress was completely captured and lost. Xiao Hei and Illya also rescued Lieutenant General Craig's son. Seeing that his daughter and son were safe, the burly man burst into tears and hugged the two tightly in his arms.
When she saw her father, the orange-haired girl finally burst into tears in his arms, and sobbed and told him about the fortress commander's threat to strip her naked and hang her on the fortress gate.
After hearing this, Craig naturally became furious and rushed into the cell to talk to the fortress commander.
As for the result...it has nothing to do with Fang Zheng.
“Let me go!!”
Just as Fang Zheng was watching the soldiers busy repairing the roof, suddenly, a dispute was heard not far away. Fang Zheng turned his head curiously and saw a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the neighboring army and the soldiers of the 4th Armored Division wrestling with each other, but soon the two sides were separated.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng walked forward curiously and asked. Hearing his question, a soldier hurriedly answered.
"Report, they are the operators of the neighboring army's mecha soldiers. We are guarding them under the order of the lieutenant general."
"So how did this fight start?"
"this……"
Facing Fang Zheng's question, the soldier showed an unspeakable expression, and at this moment, the quarrel was heard again.
"I can tell you as many times as you want. You are only aided by that weird thing. If your Fourth Mecha Division fights us, one of our mecha soldiers can beat ten of you! Tanks are already antiques! Just wait and see. Don't think you are great just because you defeated us. Sooner or later, you will be wiped out by the mecha troops of the noble coalition army!"
“Oh…”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng's eyes narrowed and he walked over.
"From what you said, you think mechas are better than tanks?"
"Of course."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, the noble driver wiped the blood from his cheek viciously.
"If it weren't for those weird flying things, how could the 4th Armored Division's broken tanks possibly be a match for our mecha soldiers? We won the victory thanks to those weird things, but these guys took it as their own achievement. How shameless!"
"What did you say? You bastard...!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the armored division wanted to rush forward again, but were quickly stopped.
Fang Zheng just stared at the scene, then he turned his head and looked at an armored soldier beside him.
"What do you think?"
"Eh? Sir...you mean..."
"Let me ask you, do you also think that it is impossible to defeat these mecha soldiers with just tanks?"
"this……"
Facing Fang Zheng's question, the armored soldier hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, sir, to be honest, facing this kind of weapon, we really don't know what to do."
"I see."
After hearing the armored soldier's answer, Fang Zheng nodded, then turned and left.
Then the next day, Fang Zheng found Lieutenant General Craig again.
"Lieutenant General Craig, I heard that you already have a way to deal with the mecha soldiers?"
"That's right, but I'm not sure if it will work. I came up with this idea after watching your drone fight with the mecha soldiers. But I'm not sure it will work."
"So, do you need a skilled driver?"
"Why?"
"I can provide you with some skilled tank drivers, and all you have to do is lead them to defeat those mechas head-on with their tanks on the battlefield - to prove to the world that humanoid mechas are just scrap metal and not worth mentioning."
"Well……"
It has to be said that Fang Zheng's request was a bit odd, but it didn't matter to Lieutenant General Craig.
After all, this was his duty.
"Of course there is no problem, but Mr. Fang Zheng, you said they...?"
"Yes, I have found a group of very experienced tank drivers. I believe they will be able to help you."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng made a gesture.
"Come in."
Following Fang Zheng's instructions, a girl with short brown hair and wearing a white and green sailor suit walked in cautiously. Looking at Craig in front of her, the girl seemed a little nervous. She lowered her head respectfully and saluted.
"Hello... um... nice to meet you. My name is Nishizumi Miho. Please take care of me..."
