《the War of the Wellheads》


 This Strange World

    "What the hell is going on here?" He himself was lying leisurely on the bed one second, but at the moment he was wearing heavy armor.Renyu''s mind felt like it had been shoved into a mess, and he couldn''t make sense of it. Is this a kidnapping? He looked at the strange plants on both sides of the winding mountain road, his heart was filled with doubts.Although Renyu knew nothing about botany, he could tell that these leaves were definitely not something that could be grown on Earth. If he had appeared in a dark room, and there was a person who directly threatened himself and asked him to call and demand one or two million dollars from his family, Renyu might still be sure that this was a kidnapping.


    But now, he had traveled fifteen kilometers in seven hours, and what he had seen and heard along the way confirmed to him that he had come to an otherworldly world. Moreover, he was in the middle of an otherworldly army. Plate armor on his chest protected the vital parts of his body. The spring-supported steel knee pads strapped to his knees and the shiny metal cap on his head. With all this steel protective gear, Renyu roughly estimated that it weighed at least twenty kilograms. Of course, this didn''t include the tube in his hand that had a caliber of about nineteen millimeters and a shape similar to a front-loading rifle.


    So far, Renyu, who had slightly thicker thighs, had managed to endure the pain. Even though at this point in time, his feet had already been rubbed out with a large number of blisters. But Renyu was still following the discipline of this army, walking on thin ice as if he was an ordinary soldier of this other world. Because he was crossing over into the army, Renyu did not yet have a thorough understanding of how this world''s armies fought, however, from this neat marching formation, it could be seen that this expeditionary corps was a highlydisciplined unit. Being a deserter or something like that would undoubtedly be suicidal in this army of 3,000 men.


    Clang, clang, a large robot fifteen meters tall that seemed to be made of long metal strips pieced together slowly walked past him. From the combat regulations written in a strange script on its body, Renyu learned that this was a large robot powered by electricity.Renyu had long since put behind him the confusion of why he could read these words that he had never learned. The drill book clearly stated that to deal with this kind of large robot, the troops should form a diagonal line and use incendiary bullets against this kind of robot to conduct intensive fire attacks.


    Well, as for what to do when such a mechanical monster rushes at you? The drill book reads - We are the glorious MianaImperial Musketeer, hold formation and fire for the glory of the kingdom. Well, looking at the giant robot walking past him, and seeing the blue sparks of electricity jumping from its arms that were twice as thick as his waist, Renyu couldn''t help but swallow hard. Kingdom glory and all that, Renyu instantly categorized it as a brainwashing propaganda slogan.


    The technological development of this world was something Renyu had spit out countless times; there was clearly something like electrical energy, but the heavy weapons were pulled by steam-powered tracked vehicles, and there were clearly something like magical means, but the entire legion was an all-firearms force. The army''s mainstay infantry, clad in bulletproof armor and inspired by the spirit of classical militarism, fire at each other with heavy front-loading muskets.


    This is definitely not Earth!


    In this strange and dangerous world, Renyu''s current rank is captain of a company (eighty men). While on the march, he realizes that he is not the only unlucky one who has been forced to become a soldier in this world. Just three days ago, a company captain of the same rank as himself had been talking about his military opinion: the heavy armor should be discarded as if it were nothing. He was lightly armed with a musket. However, he was severely flogged by General Kalini and demoted to the rank of private. The reason given by the general was that the army did not want pampered men who spoke out of turn.


    From the facial expression and tone of the "elite", Renyu was able to conclude that he was most likely a student from the same world as himself, but he had made the mistake of not adapting the system of the original world to this world. The mistake he made was that he couldn''t apply the system of the original world to this world, Renyu wasn''t sure what the purpose of the light infantry wearing armor in this world was, but he was sure that the atmospheric pressure in this world was definitely different from that of Earth. The difference in atmospheric pressure means that many situations are different, like the oxygen content, the Earth''s ancient times had a period of time when the atmosphere contained more than thirty percent oxygen, thus creating a world of giant insects. At that time, there were many different kinds of insects, and they were very large, with dragonflies having a wingspan of nearly four meters, and scorpions even growing to the size of a small car.Reading on this site?

    And this world, Renyu was convinced that the air pressure in this world was definitely differentfrom Earth. When he first arrived in this world, the air pressure around him felt as if he had dived into water five or six meters deep. In such a high-pressure environment, the worst experience is a few days of sleeplessness and difficulty in breathing. As for the good thing, after walking for such a long time, I didn''t experience any shortness of breath. The side effects of walking were limited to soreness in the thigh muscles.


    The effect of poor sleep was a cranky mood, however, at this moment, everyone was marching in formation and could not freely vent their emotions. That student couldn''t help but persuade the situation, Renyu''s heart understood, this should be the manifestation of people in the peaceful era who were pressed to their limits under such circumstances.


    However, it was the exposure of this student that awakened the many travelers who had been forcibly conscripted to the presence of their kind as if in a dream. After a few days of careful and tentative contact, it was finally determined that a total of six yellows, three blacks, and seven whites were travelers. Hey, that''s quite a number of people!


    Roaring flames rose as Renyu and the young student who had been removed from the program, sixteen people in all, including Renyu, gathered around the fire. A bearded white man, as if he were a seasoned general, pulled out his tactical drill book. Seeing his action, a few people instantly understood, also pulled out their tactical drill books, and started a lively discussion on squad tactics.Renyu''s reaction was a bit slow, but after a moment''s reflection, he also came to a realization. A group of junior officers gathering together in private, without a clear reason and purpose, it would be a very suspicious thing.


    "Array lines that take on twenty-seven different postures as the terrain changes ......" After reading this large paragraph, the bearded white man said, without moving, "Andrew, London, 2016 ." A black man next to him followed, "Jace, Somalia." One by one, the travelers reported their names as if they were secret agents, extremely stealthily. However, as the other five yellow people reported their names, Renyu''s original pleasant mood of running into the same travelers in the other world was instantly shattered like a mirror.


    Inoue Ohno, an older man in his thirties, from the 2008 Osaka Olympics. Chisho Takeshita (a young man with a middle-aged problem) from Tokyo. Ryoko Nakamura, a 16-year-old student (female) from Kobe. Chiharu Niiyama, a 20-year-old man from Kobe. As soon as these names, which were clearly Japanese, were announced, Renyu''s eyes instantly became dull, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.


    He turned his last gaze to the last man, and realized that the last man was also looking at the Japanese men, with the same dumbfounded look evident in his eyes.Renyu silently consoled himself in his mind, "I should, I should be given a teammate." However, upon hearing the last man give his name -


    Lee Cun-sung, Seoul.


    "fxxk!!!" Renyu mentally greeted the mysterious being that dropped him into this world with all sorts of affectionate words.


    But with the gazes of the crowd pressing down on him, he said with an expressionless face, Renyu, China. Similarly several other yellow men of his own frowned, Li Cun Cheng''s gaze hesitated and leaned towards Renyu''s side.


    Six yellows, four Japanese, and Renyu doesn''t think he''s some kind of superman who can subdue four Japanese. Then it''s just a matter of Sino-Korean friendship.


    Renyu gave Li Cun Cheng a friendly smile. But in his afterglow, he saw a look of disdain in Andrew''s eyes.Renyu knew what this Englishman was disdaining. Renyu knew what this Englishman was despising.It''s just an internal fight between yellow people.It''s a pity that the Northern Irish and the Scots didn''t come this time.Otherwise, I could have watched the show.


    Andrew said softly, "It seems we are all victims of this mystery, and in the situation at hand, I don''t want infighting between us."


    With those words Andrew swept everyone away, a few whites nodded a young Greek man shrugged and said, "I just want to go home. The rest is at your disposal." Andrew looked at a couple of blacks who looked at each other and nodded silently as well.


    Then Inoue Ono, the elder of the several Japanese, said in a humble Japanese tone, "You have a point, and we are at your disposal."


    Looking at Andrew''s seemingly sincere and persuasive gaze, Renyu said, "I think I''m with you guys on living this, it''s the basis for everyone to work together, but trust isn''t something that can be cultivated in a day."


    Andrew looked at Renyu and said, "Chinese, right now is not the time for infighting."


    Renyu shook his head and said, "I won''t harm anyone, but I will defend myself." Hearing Renyu''s standard Chinese diplomatic answer, Andrew gave a slight frown of satisfaction.


    Li Cun Cheng glanced at the several Japanese and said, "I am in favor of cooperation, but if someone deliberately tries to harm me, I will retaliate at all costs."


    After all the comments were made, Andrew said, "What do you all think of this world."


    Renyu wanted to speak, when Li Cun Cheng, who was beside him, grabbed the lead and said, "This world is like a game I used to play, but I only remember the general plot."


    As soon as the words left his mouth, a shroud of bright light enveloped everyone, Renyu and the others stood up in surprise and tapped on this shroud, only to realize that the people around them didn''t seem to have noticed what was going on here in the slightest, and the entire force ignored the appearance of the shroud, and the astonished reactions of the people inside it.


    "Welcome to the Evolution Battlefield." A derisive voice appeared in the light shield.

 Chapter 2: The Battle Begins

    "Welcome to the Evolution Battlefield!" When a voice with a smiling expression resounded inside the light shield. Everyone quieted down and looked vigilantly at the light mass inside the light shield. "who you are." Inoue Ohno shouted at the mass of light, and although he could understand it, Renyu could clearly see that Inoue Ohno was mouthing the word ''Nani''.


    The light mass turned into a figure in everyone''s eyes, gradually becoming clearer from its initial white color. A man with a shrewd face thick lips and a slightly protruding forehead with brown skin appeared. It was of Central American Mexican race. A characteristically twisted handle was gathered at the back of his head. Two beautiful medals were pinned to his chest. A pipe was in his mouth and he exhaled, "Shhhh!" The light projection projected the smoke ring figuratively.


    "My name is Gonzalez, rank Major, recruits I''m glad you were able to trigger the commentary, so I''ll be merciful and tell you idiots." Gonzalez finished the sentence and looked at everyone with a smirk, the Japanese student tried to curse and was pulled back by Inoue Ohno.


    The Mexican smiled and looked at the two Japanese. Said, "I won''t say anything more if it''s useless, you have been forcibly conscripted, by a being called Evolutionary Battlefield, your current rank is Recruit, no medals, no rank, the most basic cannon fodder, of course, after this war three of you will be given medals of this world, as well as an active rank. Let''s say the most basic rank of Ensign, you will be given one hundred, private soldiers of your own. Well, unarmored private soldiers."


    "As for medals." Gonzalez smiled playfully and said, "Fools, make the most of this opportunity, recruits entering the evolving battlefield for the first time are the ones most likely to get medals, and as for the future, you''ll find that it''s easy to raise your rank, but medals are hard to come by. Because a medal means that you can drop a base of weapon production into a world. It can make your private soldiers no longer without equipment.


    And you dumbasses are even more lucky in the shitter of shitters that the medals of this world are semi-mechanized and semi-firearms standard. Take advantage of it. Provided you can survive, a word of advice, Protective light curtain are a good thing. But don''t waste it excessively."


    Gonzalez''s form was getting fainter and fainter. At the end the Mexican showed his teeth and said, "Every recruit that comes into this world should have a natural skill. It''s something you have and I have and everyone has. I''m afraid you all haven''t exchanged this. It doesn''t matter, personal privacy. But to advise you all, this thing called talent, the more people know about it, the less effective it is. Good luck new recruits!"


    Hearing this, Renyu''s eyebrows jumped a bit. At the same time all the others looked at each other with complexity in their eyes. Natural Skill. Every single person present right now had this thing. And every single one of them kept their mouths shut, it looked like they all saw this thing as their bottom card, and when Gonzalez didn''t point it out, every single one of them was convinced that with the help of this bottom card, their own paths would definitely be better than everyone else''s. But now, this bottom card wasn''t working so well.


    At this time in another piece of space, in a big city, towering buildings, a steel viaduct, a train shuttle, the building on both sides of a variety of colorful lights flashing, in this big city, towering a five-sided type building, the building is planted around a circle, a five-pointed star of the bonsai.


    On the high platform of this magnificent building, a ball of light expanded steeply. Gonzalez sent the ball of light stepping out. The moment the boots with spurs stepped onto the high platform the ball of light behind it disappeared.


    On a high platform a, white man with sunglasses, a pull-over poncho, and a cowboy hat of the West, lies in a recliner with a straw dangling from his mouth sucking on a large can of Coke. Dazzling are six somewhat similar, but different, six medals on his chest.


    Gonzalez, who had just been arrogant and full of himself, respectfully said to the white man in front of him, dressed as a cowboy sheriff, "Colonel Marshall, this enlistment has minimized the instability. There are no Russians."


    Marshall nodded and said, "Ivan is now focusing his attention on the black night battlefield, and Wang Long and the others are preparing to take the Conquest Medal. There''s no time to disturb our operations."If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    Gonzalez said, "But there''s a Chinese guy."


    Marshall got up with a raised eyebrow and said, "A few East Asians in all."


    Gonzalez said, "Six, four are Japan and one Korea."


    Marshall waved his hand and said, "No problem, it doesn''t matter if there are more Japanese people, as long as the Chinese are not in the mainstream."


    At that moment a blonde beauty came on hire and Marshall stood up, took off his hat and did a gentleman''s salute, while Gonzalez then bent down and did the same. Marshall said, "Colonel Alice, you are dazzlingly beautiful today."


    Alice waved her hand and said, "Hasn''t Tom come yet?"


    Marshall said, "That muscle nut, he''s still warming up."


    Alice gently shook the flowing sea of blonde hair that covered half of her eyes and said, "Marshall, this low-end realm, even though it has leftover technology, its usefulness to me is limited. This thing is only useful to you."


    Marshall said with a charming smile at the corner of his mouth, "Alice, I''ll pay you what''s due."


    "The greatest reward you pay us should be your gratitude." A mixed thick American accent rang out. A tough American man as burly as a governor approached.


    Marshall smiled and stepped forward to give the tough guy a hug, like a little kid hugs a big man. "Of course it is, I swear on my grandmother''s name that I am grateful to you all, I have achieved six single series of medals in this series I - Ancient Age II - Classical Age III - Medieval Age IV - Gunpowder Age V - Age of Enlightenment VI - First Industrial Age, and lost out in the Second Industrial Age. This spinoff series is very important to me this time, and I need your help this time. For God''s sake."


    Alice interrupted Marshall''s speech and said, "I''m sorry for the explicit price. Seven hundred tons of standard purple gold."


    Tom''s said slowly, "Six hundred and fifty tons for friendship''s sake."


    Marshall said, "There are three medals of the Kode in this world, and you have been able to get this one, and you can''t do this."


    Stout Tom put both arms up and said indifferently, "In three more wars, I will redeem the Mahabharata battle scenario, and in that scenario, too, there is a medal for the tech tree to reach nuclear technology."


    Marshall gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred tons!"


    Alice made a gesture to turn away and said in a superior manner, "Medals are hard to come by, purple gold can be earned again."


    "Deal." Marshall shouted.


    The three men advanced on the verdant mountain paths with a variety of infantry.


    "Do you think your brother''s invention really works?" A bald fifty year old man with some gravitas of his own asked Lord Petruzzo of Miana, who was wearing a steel hat at his side.


    Petruzzo said with a half-smile, "Of course it works, Giacomo isn''t an illiterate like you, he''s a genius."


    When the three people talk, the most important beginning of the game begins, not only Renyu, but all the other traversers begin to scan the eyes of the mountain road and the big rocks above the mountain road..


    "King, there''s a situation at Venucci''s!" Chixiang Takeshita shouted ahead of the group. Several leaders then noticed the huge ¡°Doge walker¡± arm in the distance, leaping with a blue light. When Petruzzo looked around and over. The light of incomplete energy storage swept directly over, and the rocks above the mountain road were like a pile of fruit swept by a fast knife, and large pieces of stone cracked and collapsed.


    Renyu was also paying attention to The Doge''s tactics, but instead of focusing on how to alert the plot characters, he was griping about how he was still going to avoid the huge rubble in the midst of the chaos. Huge stone pillars seven or eight meters long and three or four meters in diameter rolled down with an irresistible momentum. This kind of landslide scene was very unpleasant for Renyu, and his legs were a bit weak. It was not safe to hide anywhere.


    In the nick of time, Renyu notices a gap between two huge rocks next to him and rushes over to them, and as he is breathing a sigh of relief, a rock the size of a man''s head comes flying towards him head on.


    When the stone was only three centimeters away from his eyes a curtain of light made of white light appeared in front of his eyes, the curtain of light curtain under the impact of the stone impacted his head violently, hitting Renyu like a heavy punch that made him dizzy.


    Waiting for the stone to be bounced off by the light curtain and then back into Renyu''s body. A number appeared in Renyu''s mind, the number quickly dropped from one hundred percent to seventy-three percent.


    Renyu, who was hit hard on the head and flashed gold stars, fell down on the spot holding his head. Large and small stones and gravel were lightly smashed on various parts of his body. There was no more damage from the flying rocks on his head.


    The efforts of Chixiang Takeshita, a Japanese teenager, are useful, The Petruzzo, which should have been killed, just had his broken legs. But Chixiang Takeshita pays the price, as he himself is hit by a dozens of tons of boulder at once due to not seeing the boulder, killing him instantly, and Protective light curtain ten times thicker won''t save him.


    Of course it can''t be said that Renyu is smart, when Renyu dirtied up from the rubble and found Andrew and a few other white people near Giacomo, Renyu wanted to smack himself on the spot, the main character in the plot is immortal, how did he forget that.

 Chapter 3 military criminal code

    The most dangerous scenario to travel through is not a post-apocalyptic world with zombies everywhere, or a horror movie with a few ghosts popping up at every turn, or one or two aliens of any kind coming over to wreak havoc in an unorganized and undisciplined manner. Rather, it''s the battlefield.


    As the boulder ambush passed, there was a large buzzing sound in the sky. A huge airship of eighty meters in length and twenty-five meters in diameter was suspended under a beam made of steel brackets, and below the beam hundreds of wire cables were suspended a mysterious instrument with various streamlined glowing lines and patterns that were very different from the silly and clumsy mechanical image of this steampunk world.


    Renyu looked up at the mysterious object hanging under the airship, and suddenly saw a protective curtain of light in his eyes, lifting his mind. His health dropped at 1 percent per hour, and the decline would last for three hours. There is also a hint nearby: it is suffering from radiation.


    "The miners who found this thing died horribly!" Petruzzo had said this before the boulder fell.The Mina Kingdom Faction Corps had clashed with the Governor, a local power in the west, because of this thing.Petruzzo thought that by arriving with the elite Mina Royal Corps, he would be able to force The Doge to give up his unrealistic fantasies, But Petruzzo was clearly wrong. The Doge has decided to go to war, and that beam of light just detonated explosives buried on the cliff, a long-planned war.


    Huge cargo blimps hoisting this heavy load slowly flew off to the west, and large cruising combat blimps flew past the perimeter. Don''t imagine the flying machines of this world with the structure of Earth''s airplanes. These high-speed flying combat machines are a thin sealed iron skin forming a streamlined hull of more than ten meters, while on both sides are two oversized fans fan-like structure of the wings to form a strong thrust. Pushing this small flying machine to move.


    Looking at the airbag proportions of the airship in the sky, and estimating the weight of the cargo, Renyu felt a sense of dissonance, a kind of strangeness that didn''t feel physically common sense to a science student.Renyu softly muttered to himself, ¡°The air pressure is definitely not normal, and perhaps the gravitational acceleration is low as well."


    While Renyu was observing this marvelous steampunk world, Andrew on the other side was looking at a gallant young woman sprawled out on a flying machine. It had to be said that this type of piloting while naked outside of the craft, secured only by a few seatbelts, was definitely an act of that brave man. This was another important plot character, Lian Lana.


    The western part of the continent is called ¡°Vinci¡±, and the city-states of Vinci are all steampunk-oriented, but with different focuses. Mina in the eastern part of the continent is bordered by Alim, which is good at magic, so it uses the core of the magic crystals as the carrier of AI, and is good at using electricity and steam to drive the robotic soldiers. On the other hand, the Venucci forces on the western side of the continent are orthodox in mechanical technology, with famous weapons such as steam artillery, and as for the Pailata where Carlini is located, it specializes in air force. Now that Pylata, a city-state near Mina, is assisting the Venucci, it''s a very poor political sign


    Andrew nodded thoughtfully based on the later development of the plot. The landslide triggered by the explosion has dealt a major blow to Mina''s army, and the harsh reality has taught the surviving travelers to be careful about living in a world full of dangers.


    Even though Renyu had once cursed the Japanese online, he didn''t gloat when he actually saw a being directly smashed to death by a huge rock, with blood constantly flowing out from its edges, he just had a sense of shock at seeing his kind die. Life is really very fragile...


    The Japanese were not the only ones who died. Petruzzo''s thigh was completely smashed and there was no possibility of treatment. His brother Giacomo took out a bag of colorful sand from his backpack, and Giacomo sprinkled the sand on the cross-section of his brother''s broken leg, which dug into Petruzzo''s wound and quickly healed it.


    It''s a steampunk world, but it''s also a world where magic is prevalent.


    Giacomo said, "Brother, I will kill Venucci and avenge you."


    Petruzzo shook his head and said, ¡°Mina will make the best mechanical prosthetics for me, but Giacomo, you''re the only brother I have.¡± Looking at Giacomo''s hateful expression, Petruzzo understood that trying to persuade his brother to give up that discovery was probably impossible. He could only ask General Kalini to go down with his brother..Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!


    At that moment one of the soldiers saluted the three and said, "Report sir, Vinucci''s forces have been spotted approaching."


    Renyu looked at the bottle of healing medicine assigned to him, which could be seen through the glass to be filled with glowing quicksilver. ¡°This is healing medicine?¡± Renyu looks at the strange bottle with some uncertainty and turns his head to look around, noticing that the wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs open the glass bottle and sprinkle a bit of quicksand on their wounds, and the wounds immediately heal. Even if the arm was broken, as long as the broken arm was docked, sprinkled with quicksand, the fine sand wrapped around the docking wound and gave off a strange light, just like a halo was put on the arm, when the light dissipated and the glowing sand turned into ordinary gravel and fell down, the amputation and reattachment surgery was complete!.


    This medicine didn''t only repair the human body, many people''s weapons and equipment were deformed, the soldiers smeared this glowing grit on the surface of the bent weapons, and equipment such as muskets and plate armor were restored to their original state. Even the mechanical soldiers that had been damaged by boulders were repaired by this sand.


    Renyu followed the others'' lead and twisted open the bottle and sprinkled a little in the palm of his hand and smeared it on his temples. The glowing grit quickly transformed into ordinary white sand and fell, a cool, soothing sensation running down his head clearing up the slight concussion that had been left behind by the boulder hitting his head across the light membrane.


    "Discovered microscopic carrier energy that can be used to repair the protective light screen.¡± The mechanical voice suddenly rang in Renyu''s mind, Renyu was first dumbfounded, looking at the fine sand emitting light in the glass bottle thoughtfully. When the protective light screen in his mind slowly fills up, Renyu realizes that the people around him are staring at the healing medicine in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitches. He handed the vial of medicine to the seriously injured soldier next to him


    Half an hour later, most of the soldiers who had not died and had survived were back in action. The battle began.


    When a large group of Vinucci''s searching soldiers approaches, Giacomo, the protagonist of the plot, starts the fight with the motto ¡°Avenge Petruzzo¡±!.


    Platoon gun against shooting began, which is a pity that in this spectacular scene, Renyu and their gang of travelers are actually the bitter first line of cannon fodder, the firing powder of the musket in this world is not the black powder of the earth. Instead, it is a natural ore refined powder. This kind of ore is this world''s big name Timonium ore, the core ore that maintains this world''s various energy sources, and this kind of ore will explode violently as long as a few catalysts are added to it.


    The breech of this front-loading gun is a catalyst; by stuffing the powder and projectile, and then the breech mechanism is gently tipped, the catalyst and powder come into contact to create a violent explosion that ejects the projectile. Since air resistance is much greater than Earth''s, the firing range of this front-loading smoothbore gun is under fifty meters.


    Bullets danced on the battlefield, like a scythe of the god of death randomly picking a lucky person to harvest.Renyu''s hands and feet were shaking, the light film protection of the protective light screen had been adjusted to the face and neck. At that moment, three bullets had already hit him, two of which hit the plate armor in front of his chest, Renyu''s chest was like being hit by a sledgehammer. The plate armor was struck with two inward one notches. As for the third one, it flew through the slant of his helmet, and Renyu''s head was violently tilted to the side under the powerful impact. At the moment of skewing, Renyu saw that the bullet flew into the neck of a soldier next to him, rounding out a fist-sized bloody hole. Frightened, Renyu used his protective light screen to protect the side above his neck as well!.


    Two armies with their heads held high, facing each other with musket fire, was considered a romance. Now, Renyu looked at the increasingly thick gunpowder smoke in front of him, his heart pounding as he watched the muzzles of the opposite side firing in unison over and over again. He was playing Russian roulette with his life and death.


    ¡°Advance twenty meters towards the enemy.¡± General Kalini''s mellow voice rang out.The Mina Legion had four times the strength of the Vinucci army, and in General Kalini''s opinion it was time to press forward and collapse his opponent with a volley of flak.


    But to Renyu and the other travelers, this was advancing twenty meters under enemy fire. This commander was directing them to their deaths.Renyu''s steps slowed down a bit when a gunshot suddenly rang out from the rear.


    The huge barrel of the gun General Kalini was holding emitted white smoke, and a black traveler looked incredulously at the large hole that split open in his chest. The protection of the protective light screen had not worked, he was trying to turn his head to escape and was killed instantly by General Kalini.


    Feeling Kalini''s muzzle deflected towards himself, Renyu hurriedly jogged to keep up with the group in front of him. It is said in the novels that strict military law gives farmers a fighting chance, and Renyu is now certain that it''s true.

 Chapter 4 Strange Fight

    In the game, you only need to pull the mouse, the army will be neatly forward, simple and easy. But in reality, being in the position of a soldier is not so easy.Renyu fearfully moved with the array line, but this time it seems to be better, in the process of marching forward in a neat line. Not a single bullet hit him.


    What Renyu doesn''t realize is that when the whole unit is approaching at a neat and swift pace, the psychological pressure on the opposite side is enormous. while Renyu is blessing the opposite side''s musketry unit not to hit him, the opposite side is precisely too frightened by the sound of the approaching footsteps to keep firing in unison.


    As Renyu''s troops walked to their designated positions and arranged themselves in a horizontal line with the rest of the troops, a slogan rang out from the rear and the horizontal line began to fire in unison, a storm of bullets accompanied by a large plume of white smoke erupted from one of the infantry array lines, and Vinuchi''s troops instantly collapsed.


    This was Renyu''s first battle when he arrived in this world, and while the fight was a bit choppy, General Kalini didn''t offer a reprimand later on. However, Renyu is certain that General Kalini''s tolerance has its limits, and the black man who was disposed of on the spot is a constant reminder of the General''s red line.


    The troops continued to advance, however Renyu, who was just getting used to the war, looked on with a pale face as a mechanical spider charged across the street.


    In the documentaries Renyu has seen, in the Second World War, real soldiers dared to take cluster grenades and blow up the tracks of armored vehicles, Renyu doesn''t know what a tank looks like when it comes at him, but the body part of this big mechanical spider is about the same size as a car, the noise of the steam engine turning under the metal casing meets us with the noise of seven or eight tractors, and the chimney is the size of a man''s head, with steam and white smoke coming out. The chimney was as thick as a man''s head, and white smoke was coming out..


    Of course just a car-sized piece of machinery rushing at him wasn''t enough to make Renyu blanch. But this steam spider had eight steel spider legs that were three meters long. The entire diameter of the metal spider reached six meters, and it moved its eight steel spider legs, emitting the ear-piercing sound of ¡°clang, clang, clang¡± as it rushed over!¡£


    The Mechanical Spider rushed to a company, and the steam nozzle spewed out a puff of white smoke as it spewed hot water in excess of one hundred degrees directly from the steam engine''s high-pressure boiler, and the hot water covered one-third of the company (eighty men) in a cloud of water vapor. Screams emanated from that area.


    That queue in front was instantly torn open. Heavy feet of steel stepped over the squad, and those who survived this squad collapsed in both directions under the brutal charge of the mechanical spiders.


    The mechanical spider continued to charge towards Renyu''s team, and Renyu was right in front of it.


    In the game, Renyu saw that the mechanical spider''s attack was to gently shock the enemy, and never imagined that this guy was spraying hot water. Originally, Renyu was thinking of rushing over to the mechanical spider and seeing if he could drill down to the riveted parts to wreak some havoc and impress the protagonist with his flexibility.Well, looking at this guy with hot water spraying all over his body, Renyu doesn''t dare to go on the offensive.


    When the Steam Spider was only five meters away from Renyu, Renyu wanted to turn his head and run away immediately, but his arms and legs were stiff in place.


    "Snap" a loud bang, a watermelon sized hole appeared in the Steam Spider shell body, large caliber bullets comparable to the power of the heavy hammer instantly let the Steam Spider weak body broken, a large number of metal debris, accompanied by the impact of the Steam Spider into the internal transmission structure, was the rotating wheels to fly, knocked in the internal metal shell, bringing out the Clanking metal crunching sound.


    The sound of the high-pressure boiler breaking and leaking air was like the bared sound of a pressure cooker.A drop or two of hot water splashed down on the back of Renyu''s hand.The slightly hot water droplets caused a hint of pain on the back of Renyu''s hand, and also eased his stiff body.Renyu took a long breath of relief.Finally, he don''t have to fight this monster.


    Suddenly many small holes appeared in the carapace of the mechanical spider, and the musketry unit that had arrived to reinforce it began to shoot.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "How can Venucci''s trash be a match for Mina''s elite musketeers." Giacomo shouted like a morale booster, galvanizing the soldiers to fight.


    But Renyu realizes that a more grueling battle is about to begin. As expected, twenty minutes later another battle began, the opposite side has superior troops and mechanical spiders, Renyu was glad that the path of this Mechanical Spider''s charge this time was not towards his side. The monster, which was spraying hot water everywhere, rushed towards the group of white people, including Andrew, and Renyu could clearly see that the white people''s faces turned green.


    You can''t get out of formation at will during a fight, or the gendarmes behind you will just go straight to battlefield enforcement. There are no grenades or other explosive weapons on hand, so you can only wait in place for this thing to run over, or charge forward.


    At three meters from the spider machinery, the two white travelers couldn''t resist turning around and were greeted by General Kalini''s bullets.


    As the giant mechanical spider approached, Andrew suddenly dropped the gun in his hand and drilled underneath in a standard crawl, braving the blazing water vapor and dots of leaking hot water. This guy''s agile hands and feet surprised Renyu. A lance was inserted directly through the mechanical spider conveyor belt, destroying a major conveyor belt.


    The four steel legs of the mechanical spider immediately lost transmission and collapsed.Kalini''s face showed a trace of satisfaction. And Renyu also saw this scene, dumbfounded is with a hint of envy. Looking at Andrew''s smooth movements, he sighed in admiration.


    After a few conveyor belts of the Mechanical Spider were destroyed by Andrew, who climbed up, all of its legs lost power and simply slumped over. The scene of both sides'' musketeers shooting at each other began.


    Renyu''s shaky hands on the battlefield have eased up a bit after his two previous encounters in the line of fire. But as the warriors around him fell one by one, his own armor was shot twice more, causing a bit of raw pain in his chest.


    Renyu was a little agitated. When will those huge mechanical soldiers supporting his side in the plot come, Giacomo shot healing ammo into the sky, fine sand emitting colorful light fell down and some of the soldiers began to recover from the wounds they had received from the bullets. They pick up their guns again and shoot at the soldiers on the other side.


    Even though Giacomo seemed to be trying his best to remain subdued in his tone of voice as he commanded his troops. But Renyu understood that he was in a hurry. Suddenly, Giacomo cried out in an elated tone, ¡°Look, that''s my Mechanical Soldiers, they can help us fight back.¡±


    Due to the crouching and opposite soldiers shooting against the field of view was interfered by the smoke in front, not as open as the protagonist riding on a horse. But from Giacomo''s shout, Renyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    As expected the huge mechanical soldier started to attack the enemy''s firing array, Mina''s mechanical soldier is more flexible than the mechanical spider. In the center of the continent of this world, in the world of magic, all kinds of crystal, flame, sand and earth golems are active in the desert as weapons of war, and Mina''s mechanical soldier has the same artificial intelligence as Alim''s golem.


    Earth could not make a qualified combat robot after three industrial revolutions. And this world, relying on magical means had done it in the era when steam was the main power.


    Mina''s mechanical soldiers, with their huge arms, radiated blue currents, countless currents like thousands of blue light snakes, stabbing into the soldiers in front of them. Anyone with metal on their body was not spared.


    These five-meter-tall giant mechanical soldiers quickly turned the tide of battle.Renyu realized that he had survived again. With the addition of the mechanical soldiers, the musketeers would have the best meat shield to shoot against. Looking at the mechanical soldiers in front of him, which towered over him like an Optimus Prime, Renyu reassured himself that the battle would finally be safer after that.


    It then crossed a one hundred meter steel braced bridge to an open area where it finally encountered the last of the troops left behind by the Governor.


    As soon as the battle started, Renyu''s eyes were drawn to the ¡°doge walker¡± standing on the side of the enemy''s musket array, which was like a trapezoidal iron box with two legs and two rotating machine gun cannons.


    The top of the mech is, as usual, the obligatory chimney for heavy machinery in this world, and the frontal armor takes on a trapezoidal shape, with a lower center due to the somewhat shorter legs, which is well protected against the knee area.


    But this was only a defense against a normal musket counterfire.General Kalini shouldered his own big gun and lay down on the ground, two braces set up on the thick barrel of the gun. A shot was fired at this mech from a distance of over a hundred meters.


    This time for perspective reasons, Renyu clearly saw the whole process of this shooting, the muzzle of the gun spewed out thick smoke, in the smoke half a meter tongue of fire flickered momentarily. The surface of the mech that was hit in the distance spewed out thick smoke. The Governor''s mech that had just been spewing out tongues of fire immediately went mute and motionless. The entire mech just slumped over.


    The destruction of the powerful mechs by General Kalini was a disastrous blow to the morale of the remaining Governor''s soldiers. They were already the Governor''s outcasts, and seeing the heavy equipment they relied on being easily disposed of, their will to fight quickly diminished. Giacomo shouted, "Kill them all and avenge Petruzzo!" This shout became the last straw that overwhelmed the unit. They dropped their weapons and equipment and turned to run.


    Finally done with the fight, and looking at the magnificent industrial machinery of the mining site, Renyu felt that the doubts he had generated earlier might find their answer here.

 Chapter 5 Differences

    Even the best of words cannot hide the fact that this city-state is actually a buffer zone and colony between the two powerful city-states of Parata and Mina, and that Padonia, which only has infantry weapons factories, cannot stop the infiltration of Parata and Mina.


    Giacomo, The second chief of this Mina city-state, led the army into the Padonia city-state and immediately took over the southern city area. The pure metal and mechanical style of the city came into view, and Renyu and the others from the modern world were very surprised to see this city made of steel and machinery. The main material of modern cities on Earth was reinforced concrete, but this world''s cities were built directly from steel.


    Renyu arrived in Padonia twelve days ago, Renyu feels that there is only one word to describe this land, chaos, large and small forces like bandits, they buy guns from the southern arsenal, occupy some settlements, a few Timonium mines, occupied by Peralta and Mina respectively. But it seems that Peralta seems to have a bit of a situation, and the Timonium mine they occupied has been lost.


    Since Giacomo''s takeover of the city, the industrial city of Padonia began to expand rapidly as thousands of industrial technicians arrived from Mina in zeppelins. The ¡°palace area¡± is where these high-level workers live, and as for the low-level workers,With the deterrence of Mina''s powerful military machinery and the support of supplies, indigenous civilians were willingness to be loyal under Mina''s banner.


    "God." When the environmental data of this planet was understood by Renyu, Renyu couldn''t help but marvel at the richness of this world, Earth was really too barren compared to this planet. Regarding the doubts about this world''s air pressure and gravity, Renyu finally understood why the difference between this world''s technological development direction and Earth''s was so huge under the measurement of the exact instrument.


    The atmospheric pressure of this world is twelve times that of Earth, and the acceleration of gravity is 7.2 meters per second squared. Atmospheric pressure this high means that a helium-filled balloon in the same proportion is twelve times more buoyant than Earth''s, while the gravity of this world is only seventy-three percent of Earth''s. That means that the Zeppelin''s big guy, which has a lift capacity of only thirteen tons on Earth, can carry a staggering two hundred tons on this planet. It''s no wonder that the big zeppelin Renyu saw at the beginning had such a huge power to lift hundreds of tons of objects for air transportation.


    Such a large air resistance is also enough to explain the difference in the direction of development of flying machines in this world and on Earth. Any vehicle with this much air resistance would not be able to go fast at all. Bullets also have a very short range due to air resistance. Therefore, this world''s flying machines are developed in the direction of low altitude, low speed and high load. The flying machines in this world were mainly airships, which relied on helium airbags to provide buoyancy and were driven forward by two fan-driven.


    As for helium? Helium is not a rare element in the universe, this element is the second largest category of elements in the universe after hydrogen. The lack of this element on Earth does not mean that other planets lack, this world''s atmosphere 37 percent is oxygen, 18 percent is carbon dioxide, 44 percent is nitrogen, the remaining one percent is helium-based. Under such a high pressure and high oxygen environment, with a lower gravity environment, no wonder the Earth''s travelers can carry twenty kilograms of weighted armor, insist on walking over. It is no wonder that the world''s land transportation is not developed, only double airbag airships can complete trade.


    This world freight airships easily seven hundred tons of load capacity, without the need for a long aircraft track, as long as a landing gear. And with a cheap source of helium, this world''s had no reason to develop long-distance freight trains. It''s no wonder that the Paratars built their city-states on a mountain peak and grew into large city-states.


    Of course, what''s even more amazing is this world''s unique mineral, Timonium.


    Timonium Ore, a mineral that grows naturally from sunlight in a zone of bright crystals with high water content. It is the most important resource in this world, the three major forces of humanity in the entire continent, no matter how different their cultures are, how vast the differences in technology trees are, and how divergent their values are, are all using this resource, Timonium Ore!Stolen story; please report.


    Renyu didn''t know what the exact chemical formula of the stuff was; perhaps Timonium ore wasn''t a pure substance at all, a mixture of multiple crystals that stored hydrogen, which was silicon, magnesium, nickel, and aluminum. The amount of these four elements varies from pit to pit. For example, in Peralta, the place where magnesium and aluminum dominate the majority of Timonium crystals.


    Just a little bit of water, after the full irradiation of sunlight, this mineral can grow naturally, no need to worry about mining depletion, just after a simple industrial processing will release a large amount of hydrogen, this world steelmaking method and the earth is completely different, although mechanical processing is still stuck in the age of steam, but their materials, in a large amount of hydrogen with the help of the refining of the quality of the steel is very great. As for titanium ore, this kind of earth let countless engineers worry about how to smelt out pure titanium, for this world''s engineers are also relatively simple!


    Renyu also finally realized exactly why the Timonium mineral powder in his musket propelled bullets. The catalyst came into contact with the Timonium mineral powder, releasing hydrogen gas and heat. Oxygen is then introduced from another gas-conducting circuit, and at high temperatures, the hydrogen and oxygen are ignited, propelling the bullet forward. However, because the magnesium and aluminum in the Timonium ore powder corrodes the barrel very easily at super high temperatures, the muskets in this world don''t have rifling, and the rifling would be burned right off!


    However, when Renyu told this discovery to Lee Cun Sung''s ears, Lee Cun Sung asked rhetorically, ¡°Didn''t the makers of the game release the details?"


    This answer blindsided Renyu, feeling as if he had overlooked some important situation. That game, before Renyu traveled across the world, belonged to one of Big Company''s crappy productions. There was no such thing as a sourcebook.


    Remembering that the Japanese man at the beginning of the journey had said "2008, Olympic Osaka", Renyu felt that things were a bit complicated. After re-checking the situation with Li Cun Cheng, he realized that the two of them came from the same world in general, but a few details were different.


    Take this game as an example, this ¡°Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends¡± in Li Cun Cheng''s world is a well-produced, balanced values of the three races, the shooting feel, the picture quality, the game engine is very perfect, is a perfect combination of magic and technology of the game, Circulation has surpassed Blizzard''s StarCraft II and Warcraft III.


    Lee Cun Sung and Renyu each described their own understanding of this game, and both understood that neither was lying to the other. ¡°Parallel universe!¡± Renyu spat out the word, and Li Cun Cheng nodded his head painstakingly.


    Exchanging with Li Cun Cheng, Renyu got more information, such as the basic information of the world Renyu was in. The origin of the three major civilizations in this world is a fallen spaceship.Vinci, a steampunk civilization, is the descendant of the researchers on the battleship, who landed safely in a lifeboat when the battleship crashed, however, since there were no other resources on the lifeboat, they could only start from the very beginning!


    The workers who survived the crash in the middle of the continent knew how to operate the nanobots, and they began to build cities in the desert, mining minerals, digging for water, and cultivating oases, relying on the nanobots. Over the years, their descendants occupied the desert in the middle of the continent, calling themselves the Alim. Although their language has been changing in the inheritance, but the command of these ¡°nanoswarm robots¡± is unchanged, so the command has become a magic spell, and they have also become a magician who can summon puppets from the circle of fire, earth, and crystal to fight with spells!


    The easternmost part of the continent, however, is the rear section of the spaceship, from which only a small number of military personnel escaped in the final moments of the ship''s forced landing. This group of military personnel began to collect the materials that could be utilized in the ruins, they collected several intact nuclear reactors and several artificial intelligences that aided in military command, these artificial intelligences have been guiding the development of the descendants of this group of military personnel, gradually turning into the gods that the Kode spoke of. Under the guidance of several gods, the Kode built nuclear reactor cities. Quietly, they developed for thousands of years.


    The background setting of this game is described in more detail in the game material of Li Cun Sung''s realm; the Vinci leader who fought Alim and eventually forced the bridge to be blown up was the previous king of the city-state of Mina, Giuseppe Ziamba, who was the father of Petruzzo and Giacomo, however, he didn''t quite understand his two sons'' love for the new weapons, especially the mechanical soldiers, which caused the two brothers to grow distant from their father.


    With this information, being stated by Li Cun Cheng, Renyu sort of understands the protagonist''s feelings towards his brother Petruzzo. It''s the younger brother''s dependence on his older brother.

 Chapter 6 Innate skill

    Calculating the air resistance, according to the parabolic calculation of artillery elements, Renyu is now commanding ten steam cannons to carry out shelling of the enemy 400 meters away, Renyu is very satisfied with the current position, 400 meters range artillery in the Earth''s army is a waste, but in this air resistance is more than ten times the Earth''s planet, A range of 400 meters is the upper limit of ordinary artillery.


    The cannon weighed a total of eight tons, and in the city-state belonging to Mina, advanced technicians improved the welding technique and the material of some parts, and the total weight of the steam cannon was reduced to 6.7 tons. The rear compartment of this heavy cannon was a steam boiler, and the front part was a barrel only three and a half meters long, but with a caliber of two hundred and eighty millimeters. This steam cannon advanced on tracks, which contained three large wheels half a meter in diameter, arranged in a zigzag pattern¡£


    As this steam cannon is very similar to the mortar on Earth, it can be said that it is an oversized mortar that can move by itself. Because the air resistance in this world is too big, the air resistance suffered by the cannonball is exactly related to the speed of the object''s movement, the greater the initial speed of the cannonball, the greater the air resistance suffered. In order to let the kinetic energy of the cannonball can overcome the air resistance, the artillery design in this world is forced to increase the mass of the cannonball, sacrificing the speed of the cannonball out of the chamber, so it becomes the appearance of the mortar.


    The No.1 steam cannon fired calibration shells, then Renyu corrected the artillery parameters based on the point where the shells landed, then the No.2 and No.3 cannons fired again with reference to the calibrated data. When he saw that the shells accurately landed on the opponent''s position, Renyu nodded with satisfaction and ordered the remaining seven cannons to start firing in unison!


    The seven heavy cannons firing in unison created a large smoke cloud on the ground four hundred meters away, the single mineral powder in the shells detonated under the action of the catalyst, creating a dazzling fire, The shockwave of each shell can reach up to 10 meters.


    Renyu''s command throughout the artillery barrage was very concise and effective. In this era, artillery is a high-tech military, after all, in the first industrial revolution of the primary stage, who would have the leisure to study those seemingly useless parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas, Renyu''s math scores in school back then was considered to be in the middle of the upper. Coupled with the fact that the artillery in this world had a shorter range and minimal environmental interference, the ballistic formulas were not particularly complex. As such, the level of command he was currently displaying could be considered excellent in this world. There was another important reason, and that was that the artillery operation in this world was considered very simple compared to Earth. One must know that the mechanical level on Earth was far superior to that of this world!This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Andrew, on the other hand, is athletically gifted and adventurous, plus has military experience in his original world. He has already gained the favor of the protagonist, Giacomo, and now leads three musket squads (about three hundred men) as well as ten mechanical soldiers. It is a fine talent. But it seems that all the IQ of the European and American group of travelers is concentrated in Andrew, and the others are very average, even a little stupid.


    Inoue Ohno, a middle-aged man, has enviable experience in mechanical repairs.


    The two Afro-descendants stabilized after the initial panic and gradually got acquainted with the people around them and built up their own networks, relying on their natural linguistic talent and personality strengths.


    So it seems that that system of recruiting soldiers should be a purely random catch, only caught himself a Chinese, should be their own bad luck.Renyu while commanding the artillery shelling while thinking wildly. Maybe it''s the advantage of youth, or maybe it''s the crazy math problems he was forced to do during his teenage years, in terms of artillery calculations, Andrew and Inoue Ono can''t compare to Renyu!


    As for the other two Japanese, and Lee Cun Sung, the Korean. He was second only to Renyu in artillery calculations, but was also thrown off by some distance. This is a good example of how the size of your ability in a certain area sometimes, doesn''t just depend on talent, but also on your opponent.


    A covering fire, Renyu delivers the shells to the opposing positions exactly as Commander Giacomo requested, Giacomo''s army is now facing an enemy that is not Vinci, but more like warriors made of crystals that are products of magical summoning!.


    The Crystal Warriors fight by growing crystal boomerangs from their arms, which emit blue jet flames from their ends when thrown. Under the force of the jets, the crystal-constructed boomerang will accelerate and crash into the enemy, and when it hits the enemy, the crystal boomerang will shatter and splash out a large amount of burning liquid that will ignite the enemy!.

 Chapter 7 Contradictions

    Between the large mesh of horizontal and vertical interlocking metal strips were large, square-shaped holes up to five centimeters in diameter, which were filled with a luminescent block slab material made of tree resin, forming a window that was unique in this world. Through this strange window, Renyu quietly gazed at the slowly retreating earth outside.


    This terrain is unique to the Pailata region, and if described in earthly terms, it resembles the Zhangjiajie landform. It is dominated by forests of huge, angular, straight and towering rock pillars, as well as geomorphic landscapes such as deep roach valleys, solid stone walls, natural stone bridges, square peaks and expansive platforms. Each towering rocky peak is like an isolated island standing alone. And between these isolated islands, a thin layer of mist filled the entire valley, shrouding it, making the scenery in the valley hidden and adding a bit of mysterious color.


    Underneath this hazy mist, the area in the mountain valley appeared and disappeared. Occasionally, a roar of an unknown beast would suddenly erupt from the shadowy ravine, the sound resounding through the valley and deafening the ears. This sudden roar startled a large number of birds of prey, which flew up from the branches of the trees and fled the scene in panic, the sound of their wings flapping echoing in the air


    The ravine is very humid because the sun doesn''t shine. Beasts were also very numerous, and it was clear that the valley was not suitable for human habitation. The Pailata people lived here on one of the towering peaks, the tops of which had been flattened into platforms of enormous size. When the continent of Vinci was still under the rule of the knight class, the Pyratas used to make airbags from tree resin and masked leather, which they filled with hydrogen gas and turned wooden propellers by human power to fly back and forth in this strange terrain.


    The environment shapes human habits and lifestyles. In this world, except for a few magicians who can fly large flying dragons in the sky, ordinary people can''t fly. But in Parata, their means of transportation is flying machines.


    This terrain was very difficult for invaders, and the Vinci Empire did not really rule the land five hundred years ago because the Vinci Empire''s powerful cavalry units could not fly. So the city-state of Mina behind the city-state of Pylata was not ruled by the Vinci Empire either. Likewise, if the Pyratas had persisted in their resistance, the mechanized soldiers of the Mina City-State might not have been able to take the Pyratas City-State.


    Perhaps Vinucci was more ambitious, it just so happened that Petruzzo, the current king of the city-state of Mina, was not stoned but was incapable of procreating. His brother Giacomo was unmarried, giving the Parathans hope for a union.


    The exchange of benefits between powers is dirty.and the game''s depiction of the world is simple and full of fervor. But it can''t hide the sad fact that when Giacomo dies, Carlini tries to form the Vinci Confederation, but fails completely due to the opposition of other city-states. Because with Giacomo''s death, the trust between the city-states of Parata and Mina is gone, and Carlini represents a faction of the city-state of Parata, which does not have a strong ground military force or great industrial productivity, so the other city-states won''t listen to her orders either.


    Renyu shook these thoughts out of his mind. The future of this world has nothing to do with Renyu at all. The entire Vancouver West is extremely territorial and is a classic feudal society that has never been truly unified.Renyu''s current status in this world is just a minor nobleman. If Renyu was able to stay in this world, war merit would only upgrade his status in this generation. If he wanted to upgrade further, he would hit the ceiling. The rule agreed upon by the nobles is to never let the riff-raff enter the circle of nobility,Only after a few more generations of hard work, maintaining the prosperity of the family with war or other achievements, proving that the nobility of your bloodline is justified, will you be recognized by the other nobles.


    Under this rule, every noble had the best education for the next generation because they were afraid of being ostracized from the noble circle. As for the commoners, they needed to accumulate seven or eight or even a dozen generations of wealth and status to be able to enter the threshold of nobility, so they basically gave up hope of upward class promotion. This world is a true elite education, and ordinary workers will never be exposed to knowledge such as higher mathematics that is not available to them. As for the nobles, they developed according to their own interests. For example, Petruzzo is good at military, and Giacomo is a mechanical genius.Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    After many battles, now Renyu is an excellent artillery commander, other artillery commanders see Renyu can quickly improve his skills in so few battles and battle time, they all think he is a very good talent. general Kalini also once called Renyu into the tent, specially encouragement, ¡°you are a born artilleryman ......¡±. However, Renyu feels that he may have some problems with his mindset. When he sees objects flying in the sky, he will habitually look for references, habitually calculate the parabola, and habitually calculate how to fire the gun to hit the other side.


    Renyu''s nervousness was palpable, and Inoue Ohno, seeing Renyu''s unconscious agitation, said soothingly, "Mr.Ren, you''re very good, you''re very good among the young people I''ve met. Don''t put so much pressure on yourself. Relax."


    Andrew was undoubtedly the strongest in this present crossing team, and his display of courage and commanding talent in judging the situation on the battlefield were recognized by all. All the travelers had made very good contact with the natives of this world under his arrangement. This must be recognized, Renyu took advantage of him, when Andrew was commanding the troops in battle, he arranged Renyu into the artillery unit, giving Renyu the opportunity to utilize his abilities in this area, and in the relative safety of a real combat environment, Renyu''s ability to operate cannons grew stronger and stronger. As for Andrew''s talent, although he didn''t say so, it was speculated that it should be the ability to increase goodwill by communicating with others.


    Being together for so long, the travelers all more or less guessed what the other people''s talent was probably, for example, Inoue his talent should be in mechanical maintenance, he just need to spit a little bit of spit at the machinery. Inoue will be able to clearly feel the entire machinery of all the parts in operation is the state, which parts are not normal, he can directly feel which is not smooth, this talent ability is very strong. Many mechanical malfunctions were actually the result of certain parts being worn out and deformed, but it was difficult for humans to find out which part was at fault with the naked eye. Inoue could through this talent could find out the problem in advance, plus Inoue was a tinkerer before he crossed over, he was a bit more calm and sophisticated than the youngsters. That''s why he was the number two among the travelers.


    As for the others, a black man was gifted with: very great strength. He uses oversized firearms and armor. The other black man''s gift was: precision shooter. He shoots bullets that can keep moving in a straight line, undisturbed by the environment, until the kinetic energy of the bullet completely decays to zero. Of course he could only make small mass objects move in a straight line, and as for cannonballs, he wasn''t good enough.


    Li Cun Cheng''s gift, Renyu guesses, is to focus some of the heat from his side on an object; he carries a large cigar on his person, and when he starts a battle, he lights the cigar and transfers the heat from it to the inside of a solid bullet. When the bullet hits the object, the bullet''s casing ruptures and the concentrated heat explodes, amounting to a smaller version of an incendiary bomb.


    But the other four whites are so stupid that they have been eating and drinking all this time, Renyu has no idea what their gift are. And their knowledge and ability to learn was poor. Once Andrew had sincerely asked Renyu to let the other travelers learn how to use artillery, and Renyu had agreed to do so on the condition that they passed a simple parabolic calculation test, which only one Japanese schoolgirl had stumbled through in an era when there were no calculators. The four white men who grew up with a happy upbringing gave four outrageous answers. Then innocently, they looked at Renyu and said, ¡°Can I have a calculator."


    Renyu could only run over to Andrew and say, "Let them master the artillery, you have to think about your own safety." Looking at their math level. Without saying a word Andrew placed the group of whites in other positions. Maybe Andrew also didn''t want to be mistakenly hit by friendly artillery during the battle.


    As for the one other Japanese who also failed, the kid had a mighty monster tattooed on his arm, so he probably wasn''t a good student, but he was clearly superior to a couple of the whites. But Andrews didn''t place him, and he ended up being recommended by Inoue Ono for the cavalry.


    Feeling racially differentiated, Inoue and the others didn''t say anything. But it was obvious that they were closer to Renyu and Li Cun Cheng. These phenomena were secretly seen by Renyu.


    By the way, I forgot to mention that Renyu''s gift, Several of the other travelers guessed it was curved aiming or mathematical calculations. But they were all wrong; Renyu had yet to effectively utilize his gift since now

 Chapter 8: Thinking for Yourself

    Parata lived up to its reputation as a place of flight, with airships of all sizes flying from one peaked platform to another, representing a powerful transportation force. The airship transportation power of this world was the combined railroad and marine transportation power of Earth. The high density of air limited the speed at which objects could fly, but it also made the air more buoyant. Originally, airships on Earth had a load of only a few dozen tons, but in this world they had a load of hundreds of tons. There is no need to lay railroad tracks, as the sky is full of roads for flying machines. There was no need for a compass to guide them, because the landmarks on the earth were fixed and not immobile like the waves of the sea.


    When Giacomo and General Kalini arrive at Peralta, they meet Carlini, the current leader of the Peralta family, a beautiful and seductive female pilot who ignores the attempts of a white traveler to strike up a conversation. Giacomo is the heir to a powerful industrial city-state in this world, and is recognized by the world''s upper class aristocracy as an outstanding bloodline.


    This white man has been raised stupid by the state welfare of Earth. Renyu guessed that Carlini would slap the white man, but sadly, there was no such scene.Carlini just politely rejected the white man. The white man''s eyes had an unbelievable expression. Lee Cun Sung quietly said to Renyu, ''''His talent may be a charm-like effect. But it looks like the talent effect is very limited.¡±


    Although all the travelers had talents though, the effects of the talents seemed to be very weak, and the talents were not omnipotent. Andrew spoke to the protagonist in an organized manner, not just saying a random sentence and the protagonist''s favorability would still increase. Apparently, this white man overestimated the effect of his gift.


    Renyu recalled the probability of his success in dating a woman, Renyu nodded and even a trace of jealousy welled up, his talent was really great. The corner of Renyu''s mouth twitched a bit when he thought about his own talent. His own talent ability can''t be said to be weak, a light ball space the size of three centimeters in diameter, after an object enters this light ball space for a minute, this object will be softened and like mud can be pinched into other shapes at will. Of course this light ball space can be stretched and deformed into a thirty centimeters in diameter light ball space, but the space becomes larger, the effect of the softened object will also be weakened. The hardness of the object is not permanently changed, after taking the object out of the light ball space, ten minutes, the hardness of the object will be completely restored. In other words, Renyu could process any material if prepared with a hard abrasive tool.


    Of course this ability has two drawbacks, firstly it can''t soften living things (including living plants) and it seems that there are invisible energies on life that counteract this innate ability.Renyu trapped a beetle with a bullet shell in one of his experiments and sent it into a force field.Thirty seconds later, under Renyu''s observation, the beetle tore through the softened metal shell like it was a buttered crust and escaped.


    The second disadvantage, is that it will not automatically distinguish between different materials, different materials mixed together, and when covered with the light sphere space, all of these materials will be mixed together to be pinched into other shapes.


    Renyu has yet to reveal his gift, and while Andrew and Inoue Ohno aren''t terribly frosty with themselves, they aren''t terribly close either. Smaller groups in the Crossing team emerge. Andrew is very close to a couple of white guys, and Inoue is taking a little more care of the two remaining Japanese. renyu doesn''t think he''ll ever get their full approval.


    Outsiders are outsiders, and Renyu''s talents are best suited to logistical work, but once he gets into logistical maintenance, he''ll be working for Inoue Ohno, who is experienced in mechanical repairs. Working under a Japanese dominated job, Renyu doesn''t believe he''ll get a fair return. As for surpassing Inoue Ohno, huh, it was impossible, others had accumulated decades of maintenance experience, one could not possibly bridge the gap with a talent accomplished. Just like one''s ability to do fast math, honed by countless exams, is not something that others can level up in a short period of time with their talent. Of course the few other travelers who had incorrectly guessed Renyu''s talent as a calculation class were not prepared to challenge Renyu in the field of math.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    Compared to the complicated personnel relationship, Renyu was now very interested in Lianlana''s flying machine. Ten meters long like a dinghy, Renyu estimated that there was at least four hundred cubic meters of gas capacity inside. Adding the four hundred kilograms of weight of the single-mineral combustion engine and the five hundred kilograms of weight of the entire skeleton of the small dirigible, This thing had a load capacity of two tons. Two three meter diameter fan blades could provide enough propulsion. The twenty-millimeter rotary ammunition launcher mounted on the lower part of the airship could project a larger mass of ammunition up to sixty meters away.


    The city-state of Peralta also had ambitions, but unfortunately the Governor was more mobile and used a blitzkrieg to quickly capture the large mountainous islands surrounding the city-state of Peralta. In the middle of Peralta''s trade routes an immense and unimaginable aerial suppressor was constructed, which could hurl shrapnel and could shoot down all craft of the Peralta city-state from a distance. Renyu would have shouted, well done, if he hadn''t been forced to stand against the Governor.


    (Peralta, a two-faced force, assists the Governor in the early stages by having the Governor''s army appear near the city-state of Mina. Then turn around and assist the protagonist by helping him fight his way to Venucci. Finally, have the Governor shell Mina with DOOM. Renyu doesn''t believe that DOOM''s huge cannon can hide from the airborne Peralta city-state.)


    Renyu doesn''t care about politics at all, but this is too much of a conspiracy, and it''s Renyu''s personal opinion that it would be best to take over the Governor''s airborne suppressors and force the Peralta to choose sides. Of course, Renyu knew that if he dared to propose such a thing, Carlini, the leader of the Peralta city-state, would continue to make trouble for himself in the coming battles until he died.Renyu''s more than twenty years of life had made him realize that there were too many things in the world, and if he didn''t have enough power, he would be in trouble. one is caught up in it and one''s abilities are not enough, then in the end the bad luck is one''s own.


    The battle for Peralta can be very easy, and the Peraltas live up to their reputation as the groundhogs in this part of the world. The Venucci''s army was strong, but there were always loopholes, and the Mina''s city-state army''s logistical base was constructed on a summit platform that the Viceroy''s army hadn''t yet noticed. With Carlini''s guidance, Mina''s legions ascended to the edge of the Governor''s army''s control.


    Peralta is a city-state made up of a number of separate mountain peaks, and over the millennia one by one the peaks have been flattened into platforms where humans can survive. After nearly a hundred years of industrial development, mankind has mastered the technology of smelting iron and steel, the city-state of Peralta began to build steel bridges between some of the closer platforms, and as more and more platforms were connected by steel bridges, the Peralta region was gradually put together as a whole, and it also helped the Viceroy to capture most of the Peralta region with the blitzkrieg war of the army in the very beginning.


    The city-state of Peralta, founded on commerce, finds its eastern trade routes threatened by the Viceroy of Venucci, but is unable to fight back because of its own weak land forces. Now is the time when Peralta is at its weakest, and Renyu guarantees that if only Giacomo''s heart was a little darker, he could not only hold the girl, but also sign an unequal treaty with the city-state of Peralta. Unfortunately, facing the flavorful Carlini, Giacomo can''t even say the words to finish it, and only asks the Peralta city-state to act as his ally and send out the air force to provide air cover for his legions.


    Giacomo was a fledgling, and although Renyu himself was a fledgling, and no better in the face of Carlini, Renyu would definitely choose a diplomat with thick skin to deal with this kind of big matter at stake.Renyu had once inquired about Andrew with his eyes. But it was clear that Andrew did not want to offend Giacomo.Although the medicine could cure, it tasted very bitter. Sacrificing his future to remind Giacomo, Andrew was not willing to do so.


    The travelers who see through the situation have their own ideas in mind.

 Chapter 9: Growth of the Artillery

    Giacomo''s army pushed along the steel bridge towards the ¡°air suppressor¡±, and on the way, they encountered three neutral points, a human settlement, a knight''s camp, and a Timonium mine. These three neutral forces still have some fighting power, in order to reduce casualties, Giacomo is prepared to use artillery to solve the battle, forty-six steam cannons were pulled to the front line, under the unified command of Renyu opened fire. In fact, Andrew was reluctant to let the artillery, the god of war, fall into the hands of non-white travelers. But the reality is that Andrew can''t find anyone to replace Renyu.


    Rumbling artillery fire rang out, this was the artillery''s show, forty-six steam cannons were constantly adjusting the angle of the muzzle and the position of the muzzle under Renyu''s observation and calculation, now Renyu was only one last step away from being a qualified artillery commander - Fight it out with other artillery pieces.


    The Japanese girl, Ryoko Nakamura, who had passed the test earlier, after so many days of conversation, Renyu understood that her talent was surprisingly Magneto type of psychic ability, but like everyone else''s, it was still weak. Her magnetic energy could only move a hundred grams of metallic substance within five meters with difficulty. Well, this girl hasn''t realized the brutal atmosphere of the battlefield, and seems to imagine that she''s the second coming of ¡°Misaka Mikoto¡±.


    Two base numbers of shells were shot out, totaling two thousand shells, and rows of shells were like rhythmic drumbeats, constantly pounding the earth as if they were playing a symphony of death.


    The shells exploded on the ground, raising sheets of dust and flames. These flames formed a blazing wall of fire four hundred meters away, illuminating the entire battlefield. Immediately after, the next wall of fire formed again and extended ten meters into the camp.


    The cavalrymen of the Vinci Empire in the olden days were once known for their valor and fearlessness, but at this moment, they could only wail before the God of War. Their warhorses neighing in terror, they fled in all directions. In front of this destructive force, the mighty combat power of the Cold Weapon Era seemed so fragile and powerless.


    Forty artillery guns were constantly bombarding the opposing camp, the other six artillery guns were not involved in the battle to ravage the camp, they were confronting the enemy''s airships five hundred meters away. Finally, it seemed that the enemy could no longer tolerate this one-sided shelling, and their airships began to try to fly over the defense line to interfere with the artillery''s firing.Renyu was keenly aware of this situation, and immediately gave the order to those six artillery guns to load shrapnel shells and set the clockwork. He then quickly reported the elevation and azimuth angles of the guns based on his observation, and the artillerymen quickly shook the steering wheel to adjust the direction of the guns. Immediately afterward, with a command, the six guns fired simultaneously, and several dazzling sparks burst into the sky.


    These flames did not come from the self-detonation of the craft, but rather the glow from the explosion of the shells. As the shells exploded, countless steel projectiles scattered in the air like a storm of steel, raining down on their targets. In just an instant, the external hard-shelled airbags of the three airships were riddled with holes, as if they had been turned into a tattered piece of cloth. Losing the support of their buoyancy, these flying machines fell down crookedly in the sky, eventually smashing hard on the ground.


    If in the earth, ground howitzers want to hit the airplane is near impossible. But in this world, due to air resistance, the aircraft is a low-speed, high-load route. For the same reason of air resistance, the bullets fired by the aircraft at the ground could only produce damage within a hundred meters. And that range is precisely the range of airborne armament that can be shot down by steam cannons. The large airships of this world were targets for steam cannons in the sky.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    In the rear infantry formation, Kalini nodded triumphantly, then gave Lianlana a rather meaningful glance. Lian Lana didn''t care about Kalini''s gaze and said calmly, "Your Excellency General, this artillery officer of yours, he''s progressing quite fast. It seems the battlefield is the best military school."


    Kalini froze for a moment, then smiled, "It was Mina''s military school that laid the foundation."


    Lianlana was right, Renyu was improving, as could be seen from the draft of the arithmetic formula, from the complete arithmetic formula at the beginning to just drawing two numbers and reporting the answer.Renyu was getting more and more skillful in arithmetic, writing arithmetic formula was a waste of time.


    Renyu had seen this kind of computational proficiency in front of his high school math teacher. That teacher, a middle-aged man in his forties now, wrote a few numbers on a piece of paper and computed the answer within a few seconds, causing Renyu and a group of other students to exclaim at the miracle.


    Renyu had seen this kind of computational proficiency in front of his high school math teacher. That teacher, a middle-aged man in his forties now, wrote a few numbers on a piece of paper and computed the answer within a few seconds, causing Renyu and a group of other students to exclaim at the miracle.


    Now, Renyu understood that it was due to being too skillful. The artillery in this world had a range of no more than six hundred meters, with a relatively small and fixed muzzle elevation and direction angle, and very little interference from the external environment. After a long time of use, Renyu had become so skilled that he didn''t need to write out formulas on paper to calculate.


    Renyu''s current state was something that could have been achieved in a few months if those Japanese as well as Li Cun Cheng had worked on it, but unfortunately they decided that it was an unsurpassable talent and stopped working on it.


    After firing two thousand rounds of artillery, the entire battlefield was practically decimated by the enemy. Cavalry crashed into the wall of death fire, musket infantry as well as native soldiers charging with shields were covered by artillery. The air force that tried to raid were also shot down by the artillery. Both Giacomo and Kalini were very satisfied with Renyu''s performance.


    Giacomo praised, "It was quick and accurate."


    By now Lianlana had boarded her own craft, and with no outsiders, Kalini didn''t have to suppress his expression as he smiled and said, "This artillery commander has increased the speed of artillery firing by at least fifty percent and reduced the artillery pre-corrective firing steps. Our artillery is at least twice as effective."


    The rest of Mina''s troops were happy to watch as their own powerful firepower savaged their opponents. The troops quickly moved without damage to the vicinity of the ¡°air suppressor¡±. Seeing this big steel guy, and the dense rocket launching tubes like launching nests on top of it, each tube''s at least three hundred millimeter caliber, a bunch of launching tubes, symmetrically aligned in the direction of Peralta city. A steel fortress with a killing multi-multi-mounted giant cannon launching tower, this kind of picture is almost similar to the Third Empire''s Dora''s giant cannon''s.


    Unfortunately, the recoil of the ¡°air suppressor¡± was too great, and for the sake of the machine''s stability, the angle of pitch was limited, so there was nothing to be done about hitting Mina''s army at its feet. Renyu realized that this was the last target of the Peralta campaign.


    The flames of the shells exploded on the fortress''s multi-mounted turret, and the barrel of the ¡°air suppressor¡± twisted like a twist. The sound of the explosion mixed with the sound of the steel structure twisting was very harsh. After determining that the ¡°air suppressor¡± had lost its resistance, Giacomo ordered Renyu to stop the shelling. The battle was over. It was time for political talks between Giacomo, the leader of the Mina, and Carlini, the representative of the Peralta family.

 Chapter 10: Artillery Battle

    Ten days after the end of this battle Renyu realized that the Peralta city-state was divided, part of the people were in favor of Mina city-state and part of the people were in favor of Governor Vinucci. The huge division tore the whole Peralta city-state apart. the forces represented by the Carlini, who occupied the whole Peralta city-state, decided to support the Mina city-state, while the Peralta people who supported Vinucci gathered in the Ambertone Forest, which was west of the Peralta city-state. As long as the Peralta people of the Ampertone Forest are not eliminated for one day, the entire Peralta City-State is actually divided. Having been accustomed to the tactics used by the western countries of Earth to provoke unrest in other regions before crossing over, Renyu understood that keeping the Peralta people in the Amphetone Forest first and creating a substantial division of Peralta would actually be beneficial to the Mina Legion.


    Ending the post-battle respite, Giacomo holds a strategy meeting to decide the strategic direction of the expeditionary force. The only travelers who could enter the strategy meeting were Andrew, Inoue Ohno before this.


    Andrew had this qualification due to the fact that he had led his troops in the wilderness to ambush and harass his opponents many times and succeeded, showing a new style of combat. As for Inoue Ohno, he could repair and build the industrial machines that Mina city-states transported from the rear. These industrial machines were the high-end technology of Mina City State, with power automation mine collectors and more. Even some of the enemy''s weapons, such as the Viceroy Mecha and the Steam Spider, as long as the damage was not more than seventy percent, he could manufacture into missing parts and restore them.


    Renyu was the third Traveler to enter the Strategic Decision Meeting. Seeing Renyu enter, Andrew greeted him with a big smile and whispered, "I''m so glad you''re here. We''ll have a great time working together in the future." Seeing Andrew pulling Renyu away ahead of him, Inoue Ohno, who was a step behind, stopped stiffly in his movements just as he was about to get up.


    Renyu''s reflexes were slow, but he could sense the difference in the two travelers'' attitudes towards him. There were only fifteen people who participated in the strategic decision-making hall of the expeditionary force, but every one of them held an important link in the army, there was the logistics department, the reconnaissance department and the firepower department.The total number of Mina''s expeditionary force was not more than thirty thousand people, but The system of the expeditionary force was very complete.


    Nowadays Giacomo gathered the members of each key part of this army and asked the question, ¡°Go out from the city-state of Peralta. The vast plains of the continent of Vinci will be faced, and in which direction will the expeditionary army''s attack be directed.¡±


    Kalini said infectiously, ¡°Governor Venucci has many unspoken secrets for his conquest plans and some deadbeat puppets to serve him. While the Fliglos of the West provide the Governor with money, the forces of the Wastelands provide the Governor with precious mineral deposits. If we want to defeat the Governor once and for all, we have to cut off his minions and hawks.¡±


    Expressionless Renyu, the heart unconsciously skimmed, into the expeditionary force high level Renyu is aware of Mina city state at this time how strong the military power in the end. A huge transportation airship unit is responsible for the logistics of Mina''s expeditionary force. After tying Peralta City State, a base for airship production, to its own chariot, Mina City State''s military force can already attack at will on Vinci''s land.


    Don''t underestimate the power of these 30,000 expeditionary forces, these 30,000 expeditionary forces can arrive at any place and set up a military security zone where a blimp transportation brigade can drop off weapon production systems. Recruit soldiers to join them in the area, assemble and produce legions of robots, and mine Timonium mines to maintain military energy. Maintain a merchant fleet to control the region''s economy. Occupy the region''s inherent industrial military production system to maintain production and produce powerful new weapons.


    The system belonging to the city-state of Mina had been set up after the complete occupation of the changed region. Elite troops are then recruited locally to replenish the Expeditionary Corps, and when the Expeditionary Corps'' complement of 30,000 is filled, it can move on to capture the next region. In the same way it occupies, transforms the local city-state, and continues the expedition.


    Venucci''s industrial technology is also well developed, but lacks such a transportation system to sustain an expeditionary force. And the other two forces, called hawks and dogs by Kaniri and supposedly manipulated by Venucci, could not maintain such a logistical force either. As for the city-state of Peralta, they can only build small merchant ships as well as combat air force weapons, not large carrier airships.


    That means Mina''s military placement is the strongest in the entire world. This is also true in the game, where the army controlled by the protagonist can take down a territory in one turn, while those three villainous characters can only take down an area in two turns or more. This is a good indication of Who has the power to conquer the entire continent of Vinci.


    Of course, everyone didn''t refute Kalini''s words. Now the question was where to fight, Renyu''s suggestion was actually to attack to the north and capture the enemy''s Timonium mines. the Timonium mines were the strategic resources in the industry. Meanwhile, the northern battlefield has more space, more favorable for the militarily powerful Mina Expeditionary Army to expand its power quickly. If you attacked to the west and struck the city-state of Frigglow, it would merely cut off the Governor''s economic trade. Instead of dealing a serious blow to the Governor, the army would be too prominent and easily encircled.


    But Renyu didn''t dare to speak his mind.Renyu, as a novice who had just joined the battle, simply stated that the artillery could obey all the commander''s arrangements.


    Besides, such strategic decisions are still in the hands of the protagonist, whose new ally and confidante has a lot to say. To Renyu''s surprise Andrew made a clear statement in favor of going west. And every time he stated a reason, Giacomo seemed to nod with some empathy. The direction of the military offensive was thus decided.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    While walking out of the conference room, Renyu seemed to feel Andrew glancing at himself with a strange smile.


    Seven days later, the battle to round up the Peralta people in the Ambertonay forest begins, and unlike the game''s Mina, who is full of justice, Renyu senses that this opponent is truly fighting for himself. And at this point Renyu is also fighting for himself.


    There was a steam fortress on the other side, and the rockets that came out of it were a nightmare for the infantry. The only weapon that could compete with it was the artillery''s ability to fire at long range. At first Renyu thought that he only needed to perform artillery duties, but when he saw the five steam artillery guns coming out of the five-pronged fortress, the optimism in his heart was instantly shattered. These prismatic fortresses were incredibly sturdy, and it would take a sustained half hour of heavy attacks to destroy them. But The problem, however, was that in that half hour they would not only have to take most of the fire from the fort, but they would also have to destroy the fiveartillery next to it.


    When the enemy had no artillery, his own artillery unit could rely on its powerful firepower to crush the enemy. But a powerful army always has to meet an evenly matched opponent. Compared to this battle, the previous battle in Peralta city-state could only be considered a live-fire exercise.


    The first target of an artillery attack is always the enemy''s artillery, and the distance of an artillery battle in this world is around four or five hundred meters. Shelling each other at this distance spelled out courage, speed and care and a little bit of luck. So in this artillery battle, Renyu''s commanded artillery group is personally feeling the elegance of the God of War. A strong and powerful shockwave of flames exploded around them, the smoke wrapped in red flames rose up to the sky, and the shattered shrapnel scraped past their steel helmets, emitting an ear-piercing friction sound.


    The Japanese girl, who had already been transferred out of Renyu''s care, had been scared shortly after the war started, her legs trembling, her eyes lifeless, and she seemed to have collapsed.Under the pretext of needing the artillery to need an observer to the maintenance factory for logistical support, Renyu sent the girl to the relative safety of Inoue Ohno.


    Initially, Renyu''s legs were also trembling uncontrollably, almost collapsing to the ground. However, unlike that Japanese girl, Renyu understood that he must not leave so easily. If he chose to retreat at this critical moment, Kalini would definitely execute him without hesitation. Therefore, he could only clench his teeth, hold back his inner fear and uneasiness, and hold on to the artillery position with deadly determination.


    In the midst of the battle, Renyu was absorbed in watching the trajectory of the enemy''s shells and trying to determine their position by calculation. But every time a shell hits his position, the thrilling sound of the explosion and the smoke that fills the air sends a pang of post-hoc fear through him. And the fear of whether the next shell would fall on his head continued to eat away at his nerves, leading to frequent errors in his calculations.


    ¡°Fall back thirty meters! Clockwise: 25.3 degrees! Elevation angle: 34 degrees! Fire!¡± Renyu yelled at the commanders of the artillery, his voice filled with a tremor of trying to hide his fear. Firing one shot for another, taking a mobile counterattack, and never letting the enemy have a second chance to correct their gun positions-this was the tactic Renyu employed. However, in the midst of the tense battle, Renyu unconsciously ordered his artillery to retreat, forgetting that his artillery was also tasked with another crucial mission - striking the enemy''s steel five-pronged fortresses stuck in the road.


    Just then, a messenger, braving the heavy artillery fire, hurried up to Renyu and said anxiously, "Captain of Artillery, General Kalini is asking what exactly you want to do. From now on, you are strictly forbidden to take another step back! Within forty minutes, the General demands that you suppress the enemy''s fire. Failure to do so will be punishable by court-martial."


    Hearing this news, Renyu''s face instantly stiffened. There was no room for explanation on the battlefield, even though his side had suffered from more than seventy percent of the enemy''s long-range firepower, that was no reason to retreat.Kalini would not accept such an explanation.


    "Boom ......" A deafening roar exploded in Renyu''s ears, a sound louder than thunder, causing his eardrums to chime for a long time. Just less than fifty meters away from Renyu, a steam artillery carriage was hit by enemy shelling. The hot water boiler was mercilessly flattened by the shell''s shockwave, countless cracks appeared on the boiler''s surface, and high-pressure steam gushed out along the cracks, forming a spectacular fountain of white mist. At the same time, the barrel of the gun was torn to pieces in the fire of the explosion, and the entire gun carriage collapsed, an exceptionally gruesome scene. A gun carriage was successfully destroyed by the enemy.


    Time passes by, the battlefield is filled with smoke, this fierce artillery battle has lasted for 20 minutes, Renyu has been trying to stay calm and focused, always paying attention to every detail on the battlefield, he has completely abandoned the traditional way of calculating with drafts, and instead relies on the powerful mental arithmetic to complete the complex calculation tasks. In this kind of life-and-death situation, Renyu''s potential was completely stimulated.


    Quick!


    Be quick!


    To calculate faster!


    This invisible sense of urgency constantly urged Renyu to speed up his calculations. He clearly knew that there was not much time left for them, and every second was a matter of life and death. Originally, he was not a good memorizer, but now under the pressure of death, he was able to memorize the information about the enemy''s position and movement trajectory exposed by each firing. The rough outline of the enemy artillery movement was gradually sketched out in his mind.


    In the 28th minute of the battle, Mina''s side only had 18 gun trucks left. At this time, Renyu has been able to unify the command and complete the azimuthal trajectory shooting of the 18 gun carriages in just 3 seconds after the movement. Not only that, he also took into account the time difference between the re-adjustment of the 18 gun trucks, and accurately estimated the most likely position of the enemy''s gun truck clusters.


    ¡°Fifteen, twelve, seventeen, one, nine, artillery fire.¡±With Renyu''s order, the situation of this artillery versus artillery battle was reversed. the Mina Heavy Artillery, under Renyu''s precise command, finally succeeded in launching a covering shot. The effect of this covering fire was remarkable, hitting the enemy''s target directly.

 Chapter 11: Smart People

    "It hurts, it hurts very much ......" was the first sensation Renyu felt when he opened his eyes, and the presence of pain meant that there was no death. Thirty seconds ago he looked up and saw the enemy shoot a cannonball into the sky, the steam cannon in this world discharged at a speed of no more than three hundred meters per second. It was possible to see the shell flying in the sky.


    So Renyu saw the huge shell fired by the enemy flying in the sky, and when the shell was still three hundred meters away from him, Renyu found out through his mental calculation that the falling point of this shell was his own bearing. At this time Renyu jumped down from the gun carriage as agile as a rabbit and ran wildly backward for some distance. The sound of the shell falling behind him was getting more and more piercing, he immediately got down, braced his hands on the ground, and his forehead was about ten centimeters from the ground.


    Just after doing so, the shell had already landed, the hit steam artillery was instantly torn apart by the shockwave, parts flying everywhere.Renyu just ran two or three seconds ahead of time, and didn''t run out a few meters before he had to lie down to prevent the impact. But it was still too close, the shockwave blew everyone and everything away, a steel bar that originally belonged to the track part of the gun carriage was directly inserted into Renyu''s left clavicle, the powerful momentum directly shattered Renyu''s left shoulder. A flattened shard was sliced into his thigh.


    Immediately following the shrapnel came the loud noise and concussion of the shockwave, and although he had already made preparations, his ears suddenly lost their senses in the loud noise, and his eardrums were as painful as if they had been cut by razor blades. The whole body''s internal organs also seemed to have been smashed by a sledgehammer, and there was a feeling of wanting to vomit out all the organs in the body, which made Renyu nearly lose consciousness.


    After the loud noise, Renyu''s mind instantly fainted for a moment, his thinking gradually slowed down, all his senses were dulled, everything passed by very slowly, his head was drowsy, he felt so tired, he wanted to rest so much, he didn''t want to lift a finger, it seemed that inhaling and exhaling breaths took too much effort, so he might as well be lazy for a while and stop to take a rest, just like the daze he was in before he went to sleep.


    An unspeakable fear appeared in Renyu''s mind. He anxiously tried to open his eyes, wanted to continue to feel that he was still in this world, when suddenly a wisp of pain appeared, followed by, pain all over his body, and finally the pain squeezed all of his senses tingling to the extreme, difficult to the extreme.


    Renyu felt a bit stuffy, using all his strength to open his mouth, a large mouthful of blood-soaked mud was spat out from his throat, and air with a pungent odor surged into the lungs of the incomparable severe pain like a cool air current. Normally, breathing was easy, but at this moment, it felt like every breath was cut by countless knives.


    Suddenly, Renyu heard a voice that moved him, "Found it, quick, lift him up, let''s go." The voice was Lee Cun Sung''s.


    Renyu is quickly lifted onto a stretcher by the battlefield first aid team and transported back to the rear. It was at this endangered moment Renyu activated his natural ability for the first time. Sharp pieces of steel debris enter the torso at sharp angles. Some of them even had barbs, and if they were pulled out of the flesh, these sharp, deformed steel edges would cause secondary damage to Renyu.


    So the first thing he did when he came to his senses was to unleash a shaping force field on these pieces of metal that had entered his body, allowing the sharp points to slowly soften and round out. The pieces didn''t harden the first time the medics pulled these shrapnel out either, but at the time the shrapnel was pulled out along with the rest of the tissue and blood, so it didn''t cause the medics any concern. As the magical healing medicine, entered his torso, the pain in his torso slowly began to be replaced by a tingling sensation.Renyu realizes that he has finally run back from death.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Because of Renyu''s honorable wound, the last fortress was not destroyed. But Giacomo grasped the battlefield situation extremely well and blew up the last Prismatic Bastion with a self-destructing robot, followed by a strong land force charge to open up the road. Without the three forts in the way, the air force was unable to stop the brave Mina army attack. The Ambertone Forest area was taken.


    Renyu, who had wandered from the gates of hell, rested in the hospital for three days, gradually recovering under this world''s magical medical treatment. While recalling various details in the hospital, Renyu feels like he''s being stabbed in the back.


    Looking at the warmth and concern that Andrew showed towards himself, Renyu couldn''t help but feel a bit nauseous. As a retired soldier before crossing over, Andrew must know what to look out for in the battlefield. But he didn''t say anything when he interacted with himself.


    "Renyu, you know how nervous I was when I heard you were hurt, thank god you''re okay." Looking at Andrew''s genuine emotion. thoughts of doubt flashed through Renyu, in order not to let his expression betray him, the self-hypnotized mind repeats, "Everything is I guessed wrong he''s a good guy, yes, he should be a good guy." Outwardly Renyu was grateful for Andrew''s concern.


    Once he saw Andrew turn away, Renyu began to carefully review all the scenes from the meeting to the present and speculate with the worst possible thinking on the purpose of Andrew''s every word. The few tentative words that Andrew usually exchanged became the key object of suspicion under Renyu''s speculation.


    Renyu sighed, "People like that are the most troublesome."


    Throughout the crossing team, the Asians have been a vague threat to Andrew''s leadership of the crossing team. He had remained friendly to himself without reminding himself of the various dangers of the battlefield. The dangers of the battlefield should be very clear to him, a retired soldier. If it was that he hadn''t thought about it before, but when he was injured, he still didn''t mention things like battlefield experience and didn''t remind himself of what to do next time. There wasn''t even a single word of promise to help himself.


    Renyu thought while his eyes gradually turned cold, and said, "I don''t know about the western army, whether there is the saying that comrades in arms help each other and assist each other. But surprisingly you didn''t do it, then I won''t have a kind of comrade-in-arms concept for you guys."


    In the following battle, even though the artillery needs the infantry to protect them, the infantry also needs the artillery''s fire support if they want to win and minimize their own casualties. since they can''t get Andrew''s promise, Renyu decides to cooperate with the others with each other.


    Dozens of rows of industrial gears several meters in diameter rotate to drive steel transmission rods in motion in the industrial zone. This is the zone where Mina''s frontline army production increases its speed. Rows and rows of steel robot parts are die-cast and assembled here.


    Li Cun Cheng and Renyu walked into this industrial zone. As they entered the gates of the industrial area, Li Cun Cheng once again asked Renyu, "Renyu, do you really want to choose to cooperate with the Japanese?"


    Renyu said, "Brother Li, they have already released their goodwill, I was seriously injured in the battlefield ten days ago, and I have to thank him."


    Li Cun Cheng frowned and said, ¡°You think there are Inoue Ohno''s arrangers among those who rescued you with me.¡±


    Renyu said, "I don''t know if the group that entered the battlefield with you to pick me up was specially arranged by Inoue, at least he didn''t stop it."


    Li Cun Cheng said, "Maybe it was arranged by the natives of this world."


    Renyu shook his head and said, "If it was arranged by the natives, then the people who picked me up would have been the battlefield first aid team. Not the mechanics preparing to repair the machinery. I''ve asked around, and the suggestion that these mechanics be on standby at the edge of the battlefield to prepare the machinery for repair was made by Inoue. And using his own right, he pushed for this order to be carried out, and I think he must have lost a lot of goodwill among the maintenance specialists because of it."


    Li Cuncheng said, "It''s always a bit uncomfortable working with the Japanese."


    Renyu said, "I''m not used to it either. But now we can only hug."


    Half an hour later Renyu and Lee Cun-Sung and Inoue Ohno leave amicably.


    "Then it is up to you two." Inoue bowed ceremoniously. It was the sixth time this Japanese had bowed, and Renyu bowed back six times to be polite. Both sides reached a partial agreement in a friendly atmosphere.


    Andrew, he''s so smart.

 Chapter 12 Commanding and being commanded

    The Mina city-state''s army emerged from the hilly eastern part of the Vinci into the relatively gentle impact plains. This plain is divided by a large river, and to the south of the river, where the Mina army is now located, is the Dirce Plain, which the Vinci people call ¡°The Warehouse¡±. It is rich in food, minerals and so on. There are nine neutral city-states in this plain. The resources and population are very rich, but the military is weak. This situation is characteristic of the entire western continent where Vinci is located.


    The militarily powerful city-states were all in the mountains, such as Peralta City-State, a large number of troops could only be transported there by air, but the outside troops didn''t know the terrain, if there were a few turrets hidden in the ravines and attacked towards the transport airships, that would be a big loss. The Governor''s attack on the city-state of Peralta could also only rely on infantry and cavalry to attack each mountain peak. As for the heavy weapons, they were not transported because they were too heavy and for fear of a ground ambush. By the time there was a chance to transport heavy weapons, Peralta city-state had secretly allied with Mina city-state.


    The same is true for the city-state of Mina in the eastern mountains of Vinci, and the protagonist''s current first strategic goal, the city-state of Frigoro, is built on a cliff. With the help of airships, forces in this terrain can easily fight their way out, while others can''t fight their way in. As for the problem of transportation in the mountains, the airships in this world have a capacity of hundreds or even thousands of tons, so the problem of inconvenient transportation between the mountains can be easily solved.


    The city-states built on the plains were all M. Mina''s legions rampaged through this great plain, and those city-states were transformed into factories by the Minas, and large numbers of natives were trained into armies, just as the British Empire trained Indian troops on Earth.


    Renyu was now standing three meters above the ground. Commanding forty muskets and ten three meter tall steel robots. In the game, a unit of musketeers was nine icons, in this world a unit of musketeers had a strength of ninety men. An artillery combat unit is one icon in the game, in reality it is in squads, and a squad of artillery has ten steam cannons under it. A squad of mechanized soldiers is a full complement of ten groups, mechanized soldiers are robots with long blades of blue current flashing on their arms, they are the nemesis of the musketeers.


    As for why Renyu was now three meters above the ground, it was because the artillery needed a good observation point. So that they could see the vast battlefield, and of course the best way to command the artillery was to sit on a blimp. But sitting on a blimp and seeing others is also being seen by others, so this small team of robots has a basket welded to the back that only allows one person to stand, and Renyu is standing in the basket, which is equivalent to an artillery observatory that is always on the move.


    Inoue Ohno started making these robotic soldiers after Renyu requested them, and after Renyu requested them from his commander, he was able to add them to the army he could command. The steel thighs of this team of robotic soldiers were less than forty centimeters in diameter, making them rather bumpy to walk on. After all, these combat mechanical soldiers were not designed to carry people. In comparison, the steel thighs of the manned mechs were a bit thicker, with the thinnest part being eighty centimeters, which ensured stability when traveling.


    As Renyu sat in the basket, he realized how hard it was to feel the bumpy ride. After forty minutes of traveling, Renyu turned pale and eventually vomited, feeling like a flag being waved and fluttering all over his body. It was only when the steel robot reached its intended position and crouched down that Renyu opened the hatch of the carrier and rolled down in a heap.


    Finally, Renyu lay motionless like a corpse on the seat of the gun carriage. No one else knew about the good things; the bad things traveled a thousand miles. A few minutes later, the sound of clattering hooves reaches Renyu''s ears, and Renyu turns around to see the bald general Kalini riding by with an otherworldly smile on his face.


    Renyu quickly straightened his appearance.


    "Ensign, I heard that there was a problem with the artillery observation deck you proposed." General Kalini said as he looked at Renyu''s pale face.Renyu had a bitter melon smile on his face. The hole he dug himself, with tears in his eyes, he had to fill him up.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    Renyu saluted and said, "Reporting to the General, a little difficulty, but the advantages of observing the backpack still outweigh the disadvantages. We can overcome it."


    General Kaneri flung his horse whip and said, "Since you said so, I am relieved. I hope your next battle will be at the level you deserve."


    Nearly 30,000 Mina armies and opponents of the same magnitude fought around a city-state as well as resource points on the vast Great Plains. In such a large battlefield, the Supreme Commander could not keep track of the details of the battle of all the armies on his side. The highest commanders on both sides of the battle began to decentralize.


    Three hours ago, Renyu saw Andrew disappear out of view with three musket squads, a squad of cyborgs, and a mechanical spider with a rocket launching system. Information about Andrew''s combat was only available from the Spark Telegraph. There were about a dozen squads like Andrew''s in the entire battlefield.


    They intercept enemy scout units in the field. Sneak up from behind when the enemy is preparing to attack a neutral city-state or other facility. Or they may rob the enemy''s commercial airships. Creating battle opportunities for the main force. It was due to such tactics that the entire Great Plains had become a battlefield.


    Renyu realizes that nearly all of the surviving Travelers are now assigned to such a harassing force, and it seems that a general test for every Traveler is coming, along with the start of the second mass death of Travelers.


    Each traveler belongs to a different such unit, and of course the better the previous performance, the more power they have in such an outposted army. Andrews, for example, leads an army on his own and has a lot of autonomy. Inoue Ohno also leads an army by himself, and he leads a very elite force of ten Viceroy mechs with stubby mechanical legs that look like walking cabinets, and two teams of mechanical spiders that can fire rockets. This force is practically an armored battalion.


    Teams assigned to fight independently are first and foremost at the mercy of the Supreme Commander. If the squad completes the mission ahead of schedule and a new order has not yet been issued for this gap, the outgoing team may go on a mission that they deem worthy. Until the commander telegraphs a new mission to you with an ESP.


    Each outposted army''s combat mission is different; Inoue Ohno, for example, commands a high-value, highly-protected army with the highest level of security for the mission, and on several occasions Giacomo gives Inoue Ohno a fair amount of self-judgment; after all, the Supreme Commander doesn''t want to lose expensive heavy mech armament, either.


    As for Andrew''s army the danger level has to be a bit higher because dead colonial troops can be recruited again. It wasn''t Mina''s elites who died anyway. Even though Renyu had heard the main characters of this world emphasize the justice of conquering Venucci over and over again, the bloodshed of war could never be hidden if one looked deeper.


    As for the other travelers, they didn''t have the right to command the army on their own to accomplish the mission like Andrew or Inoue Ohno did, they didn''t have a higher rank than the natives of this world, so they had to continue to follow the orders of the native officers to accomplish the mission.


    "You, get up there ......" a bearded lieutenant, full of ferocity, yelled to his squad of soldiers, rows of soldiers formed a queue to shoot at the cavalry charging towards them, even though the opposite side of the chest-armored cavalry hadn''t yet reached within the effective killing range of fifty meters.


    A total of hundreds of heavy cavalry holding a cold and shiny long sword to launch a charge, metal plate armor reflecting the light, raised high long sword is very sharp, heavy cavalry tread on the ground vibration. It made the will of these people who had just specialized from farmers into soldiers instantly collapse. Less than ten cavalrymen were shot and dismounted during the shooting, and then these soldiers were dispersed by the heavy cavalry.


    A Negro traveler happened to be in this party, and the last thing he saw when the high horseman came crushing down on him in a titanic force was the flash of a dazzling blade toward the region of his neck.


    The brutality of war makes it easier for the lower ranks of the army to die in battle. This can be seen in the plight of the traversers, Inoue Ohno and Andrew lived and died as those soldiers under them. As for the other traversers with lower rank levels, all of them are left to kill each other with their opponents. It''s either you or me on the battlefield, and after seeing a lot of dead people, even more thoughts and minds will be worn out.


    Chimura Niiyama, the young Japanese with tattoos on his arms, often wore a sneer on his face that didn''t care about anything when Renyu first met him. When Renyu saw him again ten days ago, his expression was dull, his hair was disheveled, and in his eyes was the numbness and melancholy of war.


    Everyone grew up, those who didn''t want to grew up died in the war, and only those who survived the war years knew how precious peace was.


    As the bad news of the removal of one traverser after another came in, Renyu forced himself to be constantly alert to his surroundings from the back of his cyborg. The gun carriage under his own command drove around Giacomo''s mech. Seven thousand musketeers, a huge army of six hundred cyborgs moved slowly across the land.


    Renyu was not sent out to hold the army in check, and the forty steam cannons he commanded went behind the right flank of this main force. Upon demonstrating a talent for commanding artillery, Renyu was selected to follow the main force forward.

 Chapter 13 Logistics

    Huge steam gun carriages moved slowly along the muddy road, grass clippings and branches pressed deep into the ruts beneath their wheels. Hundreds of artillery carriages were lined up in a neat formation, moving slowly like steel giants. The deafening roar of the steam engines, the footsteps of the legionnaires, and the crisp and loud clanging of the heavy metal feet of the mechanical soldiers as they collided with the hard rock. All of these sounds intertwined together to form the unique war melody of the age of firearm steam warfare.


    While the other travelers were prioritized and sent to fight alone in smaller units, Renyu was ordered to follow the main army, which Renyu was part of, and on the march took down two power plants, a Timonium mine, and two small cities.


    These zones are not unguarded by enemies; some are occupied by horse bandits or guarded by neutral worker-mechanics. When the armies arrive, the Dilseys in these neutral zones often surrender under the lure of Mina''s military might and money. Of course there are also small forces loyal to the Duke and Governor of Silari.


    White and yellow flames shot out of the muzzle of the cannon, the heavy shells cut a beautiful arc and fell into the target earth, the robots that suffered from the shelling instantly shattered into parts in the fire, the battle was over in a few minutes.Mina''s army occupied the power plant.


    Ten minutes later an airship slowly landed on the empty tarmac of this power plant. A large amount of supplies were brought down, which included food, weapons, and parts of steel gun carriages.


    Like on Earth, modern armies are dependent on logistical resupply, and as Mina''s hordes rumble across the land, troop morale is replenished with supplies, and parts worn out during the movement of steam artillery carriages need to be replaced. This was no different than on Earth, the difference being that on Earth the supply was based on railroads and highways. In this world it was dependent on airships.


    And for most airships to land quickly, they needed an apron. This apron is not a straight runway occupying a huge ground area like an airfield, but a forty-meter-high steel rooftop. Airships are so buoyant that they can only land on the ground if the helium in their airbags is slowly deflated without external help. However, this is not the case for the regular landing of airships. On the landing platform of the power plant, the 700-ton supply airship dropped eight thick winches formed by twisting steel cables, which were coiled by the staff on the tarmac onto a steel winch powered by a steam engine. Then the steam engine was turned on, and the winch was slowly tightened under the huge force of the steam engine, and the airship in the sky was pulled down smoothly, and parked steadily on the platform on the top of this steel building.


    Hundreds of tons of supplies were unloaded, damaged, and badly worn parts were loaded onto the airship.Renyu watched the airship slowly lift off, and finally understood why every war in the western part of the continent, in the land of Vinci, must seize the neutral zone.This power plant''s shutdown high platforms were originally built on purpose to trade with other regions. The looting of the neutral zone was also for these airship resupply high platforms.


    Without these supplies, a man marching with twenty kilograms of armor and guns is not a small amount of daily wear and tear. And if the steam gun carriage did not have enough parts to replace them, it was estimated that it would not go more than a hundred kilometers before it would stop due to mechanical problems. Mechanical infantry if the joints and gears also need to be replaced from time to time, the shell to be set on the rust and corrosion of the zinc fast from time to time, if you do not get timely repair and maintenance, fighting less than half a month is estimated to explode.


    In wars on Earth, commanders on both sides will rack their brains to give the other side''s logistical lines a black eye. The Vinci Corps in this world is fighting around these points where supplies can be resupplied. According to the plan, the main corps could not stay too long after hitting this point, and could only leave a small number of remaining troops to hold out. Giacomo was determined to repair and fortify this neutral point in order to hold out for a while against the enemy''s attack, so blimps replenished it with supplies at a high frequency of one per half hour. The original bullet-riddled power plant was refreshed with welded steel plates brought in from the blimps.


    After repairing the neutral supply point, Renyu''s main force continued to advance towards the hostile city-states with the support of a three-hundred-meter-long, one-hundred-and-fifty-meter-wide military supply dirigible with flat airbags. This military supply airship with a load capacity of up to four thousand tons was fitted with a set of self-landing equipment, and the sixty steel cables they came with were all connected to piling equipment. When descending, the steel cables and piling equipment were lowered first, the ground personnel fixed the piling equipment on the ground, and the steam winch on the airship slowly tightened the steel cables, allowing the airship to slowly descend.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    The Battle of the Dilsey Plains was in its fourth month.Mina had gained the strategic initiative and the main corps had stayed for a month seven kilometers outside the large city-state controlled by the Governor. The city-states of this world cover no more than five square kilometers and are characterized by towering chimneys, about the size of Earth''s thermal power plant chimneys, but taller and constructed of pure steel.


    Small city-states had chimneys below fifty meters in height, large city-states had chimneys around seventy meters, and mega city-states had chimneys over a hundred meters. The city-state seven kilometers away was a mega city-state, the administrative center of Duke Silari in the Dilsey Great Plains.


    Surrounding the Empire State Building-like chimney was a small area. Some areas were divided into twenty floors like a department store, this was the commercial area. There were areas that were cylindrical edifices with an oversized rotating mortar at the top of the edifice that could fire shells at areas up to four hundred meters away, this was the military area. There was also the area of the palace where huge rotating celestial models served as the ground surface of the building. As well as the industrial area that emits the noise of noisy rotating gears.


    These areas are crammed together, not spread out flat on the earth like industrial parks on earth. On the one hand, it was too easy to make steel in this world, and there was enough steel to build such high-strength and compact structures, and on the other hand, the big chimney in the center of the city-state was supplying energy to the city-state with direct current, which had a relatively short transmission distance.


    So many steel buildings, gathered together from a distance, looked like a small steel hill. Very spectacular and shocking. Around the city-state stood tall turrets and other defense buildings, as well as airship landing buildings, a single-mineral refinery factory, and a futures exchange where huge steam gears were precisely combined into mechanical computers.


    A month ago, the main force Renyu followed was stationed in a neutral mine seven kilometers away from this city-state, and after five days of construction, a steam fortress thirty meters high and a hundred meters long and wide, almost the size of two office buildings put together, rose up. Under the protection of the army, countless airships airlifted over a large amount of metal materials, and the steam-driven Fortress Battery Bastion was constructed from the slag of the mine.


    Steam fort boilers burn twenty-four hours a day. It provided power for the entire fort. With the support of this fortress, a pentagon shaped steam fortress with a scientific research institute at its core was also constructed two kilometers away, followed by the construction of turrets, barracks, flight platforms, and even a refining foundry that produced mechanical legions. In just twenty days, this mineral point turned into a solid fulcrum. Once this was completed, Giacomo ordered General Kalini and Renyu to station themselves in this steam fortress to confront the hostile city-states seven kilometers away, while he took the remaining forces to seek a showdown with the Duke of Silari''s main force.


    "Boom Boom Boom ......" the continuous sound of the cannon rang out, arriving in this world for such a long time, Renyu had already gotten used to such a loud noise. The powerful counter-thrust of the artillery made the gun carriage weighing eight tons tremble. The shells drew a beautiful arc and fell into the distant turret, a flame bloomed around the turret, of course, there were also three shells hit the turret squarely, the steel turret bent and deformed and groaned under the flame shockwave.


    Standing on the robot carrier Renyu nodded in satisfaction seeing his battle results while looking in the other direction. There were enemy cavalry in that direction that were reinforcing towards here.


    "Retreat!" Renyu saw fit to withdraw. The artillery vehicles quickly withdrew towards their own fortress. Ten minutes later, the artillery unit under Renyu''s command withdrew to the vicinity of the fort. Under the protection of his own cavalry infantry as well as the fire support from the steam fortress, the enemy cavalry could only retreat after circling around outside of the artillery range.


    General Kalini''s mission is not to let the opposing city-state''s troops come out, and Kalini''s mission to Renyu is based on this strategic goal; Renyu will lead his mechanized units to destroy the city-state''s outlying buildings every day. If there are more than ten counter-attacking units and the distance between them is more than 300 meters, he will withdraw, and if the distance between them is less than 300 meters, he will send a signal to the rear infantry to come and support him.


    With this piecemeal attack, a large number of important defense and economic buildings around the original city-state had been reduced to rubble. Thirteen combat units had been annihilated, and more than fifty had been restrained. The effect of this was that in the entire Dilsey Plains, the two sides'' engagement points were centered on the battlefield where Mina''s twin fortresses and the city-state were facing each other.


    According to Renyu''s information, Duke Silari''s main force tried to break through the two forts several times, and three times approached within 50 kilometers of the forts. However, they were stopped by the field army commanded by Giacomo. At this time, the Duke of Silari, who was already in a disadvantageous position, didn''t dare to start a main battle, at least not when the other side had the support of the two fortresses.

 Chapter 14: War

    The western part of the Double Fortress Battlefield is an empty grassland, the main continent of the entire Legend Continuity World is located in the equatorial zone, Vinci is on the western side of the continent, Alim magic civilization occupies the middle of the continent, and the Khede people occupy the western side of the continent. Due to the equatorial circulation, both ends of the continent across the planet''s equator are a humid climate suitable for human life, while the middle of the continent is a dry desert climate due to the sea winds from the east and west that bring in water vapor not being able to blow in. So this planet human survival on the continent when there is no winter, the temperature is suitable for all seasons, only precipitation deviation caused by the dry season rainy season.


    The plants in this grassland were no longer green. Dragon cavalrymen with heavy muskets in their hands ran wildly through the wilderness, firing at airships that were two hundred meters high in the sky. Two hundred meters was the height at which most trade blimps flew. Because all trade points throughout Vinci could yank down two hundred meter high airships, airships that flew higher were unable to trade with normal neutral points because it would be too costly for other merchant houses to yank down airships of this height. Besides, two hundred meters high in the sky freight airships can be less threatened. For example, it looked like the mounted musketeers were firing very fiercely at the sky, but even if they were replaced with bullets specialized for the air, the threat to the cargo airships was still very small.


    Of course, the cargo airship is not unarmed, two airship airbags hanging below the silo on the head and tail of the two machine guns, to the sprinkler like spraying bullets below, to the same flexible cavalry is not much lethality. A machine gun on an airship is already the limit of an armed airship. As for airships with artillery, only the siege airships built by Mina City State are currently available, but this kind of strategic weapon will not appear in secondary battlefields.


    As for ordinary cargo airships, they are not qualified to place artillery, and the huge recoil of artillery firing is enough to shatter the airbags and hull structure of airships. Moreover, there is no point of contact in the air, and the cabin will sway violently after firing, the accuracy and distance of the artillery firing are not guaranteed, and it is enough to install two machine guns to scare the enemy.


    Originally, the route this airship flew was not here, only because after the appearance of Mina''s twin fortresses'' defense system, these cargo airships had all taken a detour. Going above the fortresses and turrets, a flight altitude of two hundred meters would definitely be shot down, and raising the flight altitude to solve the problem would be too costly, so the airships could only fly in a roundabout way.


    The airship had already flown safely seven times, three times driving away Mina''s harassing troops. This time, when the airship''s captain thought that this time would be the same as usual, he noticed that ten boulder-like bumps on the yellowish grass suddenly lifted a layer of skin, revealing the black holes of the gun ports. The airship tried to evade. But the huge hull could not react immediately. Flashes of light emerged from the black holes of the cannons on the ground aimed at themselves.


    The shells exploded fifty meters away from the airships, they were shrapnel, and the bursting submunitions were like dense swarms of bees, sweeping towards the airships in a black swath. Many of the shrapnel shells pierced right through the thin tin and wood panels of the blimp, hitting into the blimp''s stores. Of course, the worse thing was the fragile airbags, the shrapnel shattered one of the airbags of the airship, the gas in the airbags quickly drained away, and the airship, which could not keep its balance, fell down from the sky.


    The artillery was under Renyu''s command, and in order to ambush this airship, Renyu and his troops hunkered down for an hour and a half under a camouflage layer of straw curtains. During this time the steam engine inside the gun carriage kept the machine activated, and the steam and heat made the camouflage extremely difficult to endure.


    The sweaty result was that the laden blimp crashed to the earth, its transport cargo becoming a supply for the Twin Fortresses. Watching the friendly troops cheerfully raise their sabers and charge towards the zone where the blimp had crashed, Renyu shook his head. This was bound to be a shoot down with no survivors.


    The feelings of frontline soldiers in a long war are not something that noble lords in the back and over coffee can appreciate, and those who hover between life and death should not be expected to adhere to any battlefield guidelines or normal morals. Likewise these colonial soldiers with no hope for the future as well as mercenaries cannot be expected to have chivalrous conduct. They want to vent.


    A few surviving women were dragged out and taken away by these men.Renyu had already encountered this situation more than once when he was commanding the army on a solo mission, killing and ravaging each other in a fit of rage had become a common practice for these soldiers.


    For the first time Renyu tried to stop it, but was bewildered to realize he couldn''t. The army he was a part of had long since gone mad. The higher-ups are still shouting about destroying the Governor and conquering the entire Vinci Continent, and are blind to the insanity of the grassroots army.Renyu realizes that the higher-ups won''t be able to block this outlet.


    An officer of the cavalry squad drove his horse to fifty meters away from the artillery unit and beckoned. This was the gesture of a brother troop sharing the spoils. Looking at the excited expressions of the soldiers around him, Renyu bowed his head in acquiescence and didn''t object, only turning an hourglass upside down and said, "Go over to the three artillery wagons and bring our share over here, you''ll be given twenty-five minutes."


    A group of soldiers ran happily like monkeys in three gun carriages.


    ¡°Why am I fighting here.¡± Renyu felt a bit confused. A wave of disgust rose in Renyu''s heart as he heard the sound of crazy laughter in the distance. As if to find comfort for himself, Renyu forces his gaze back from the distance and says softly to himself, ¡°At the very least, I need to stay alive myself first. Push for this war to end quickly, just end it.¡± Renyu certainly didn''t dare to care about the soldiers.Mina''s king was already heading towards madness fueled by his victory. Under the trend of this madness, Renyu''s obstruction would only be a mantle.


    At this point every traveler can influence the battle in their own way. Take Andrew for example. He has become a hero in the Mina Expeditionary Force. He led a squad down to carry out infiltration operations, defeated the guardian forces of a rival city-state, controlled the top brass of that city-state, and made that city-state fall to Mina.Stolen novel; please report.


    In this war, another white man, Vasires, also stood out, commanding cavalry with excellent locomotion, seemingly able to clearly sense hostile points on the map, and always able to lead his troops to escape from enemy encirclement.Renyu surmised that he should have come with the talent of a mini-map, and was born to be a commander. Before, he did not show his talent due to not obtaining the right to command, in this kind of chaotic battlefield, his talent was discovered, and he was immediately promoted by the line of fire.


    The battle for the plains of Dirce began three days later at dusk. By this time, Giacomo''s main army had a huge airborne siege airship and two ¡°Juggernauts¡± the size of land cruisers. Under the cover of numerous artillery pieces, they began to launch a general attack on the city-states opposing Mina on the Dirce Plain.


    In one of the largest engagements, the Mina Expeditionary Force committed its main corps of one hundred and twenty-three combat squads. They engaged Duke Silari''s main corps with a combination of airships, land cruisers, artillery, and mechanized weapons.


    The immensely large siege airship in the sky had a disc-shaped chamber weighing thousands of tons hanging below it. The disc-shaped chamber was surrounded by many windows, like the gun windows of a sailing battleship, from which a circle of densely-packed gun barrels protruded.


    A total of forty guns protruded from the entire disk-shaped chamber! When one of the guns on the disk fired, the strong recoil would cause the disk to automatically rotate at an angle, which just allowed the muzzle of another gun to be accurately aimed at the target. In this way, the circular pod could form a continuous fire suppression against the enemy troops in the distance.


    It was like a relentless carousel of death, constantly turning in the air and pouring endless artillery fire onto the enemy. At the same time, the area shelled by the giant airship provided excellent guidance to the artillerymen on the ground. They closely followed the rhythm of the airships and blasted towards the enemy with their swift and incomparable firepower along the way.


    Seeing that the enemy''s artillery was silenced, the two two-thousand-ton Sky God tanks'' rotating twin canon tubes. Executing destruction on targets three hundred meters away, the tracks were driven by two five-meter-diameter drive wheels at the front and rear, crushing towards the enemy''s densest enemy group.


    The human forces collapsed near instantly in front of the Skygod tanks. Some of the steam spiders tried to mantle their way through, but anyone with a little common sense could see that as long as our tanks continued to advance, these steam-bubbling spider would just stick to the tracks a little bit under the heavy tracks.


    At the same time General Kalini, who commanded the Twin Fortresses, in order to cooperate with Giacomo, also launched a large-scale attack on Duke Silari''s city-state, with a total of forty-three combat squads. Five of these were mechanized squads and four were artillery squads. These forty artillery pieces were commanded by Renyu.


    A large number of fighting forces poured out of the interior of the twin fortresses, instantly attracting the attention of the already understrength Duke Silari''s Close Guard Regiment.


    On the open and wild field, Renyu once again commanded forty cannons to shell the city-state. Based on the judgment of the situation on the battlefield and General Kalini''s request, one by one, the data of mental calculations were reported out from Renyu''s mouth. The cannons methodically shelled the legions trying to gather near the city-state. This accurate shelling prevented the opposite side from forming an effective battle formation. The cavalry simply couldn''t charge against the musketeers until they formed an effective shock formation.


    The guardian city-state also had an artillery group, but during this month of harassment Renyu had encountered this old adversary several times.At first, the opponent tried to take out two forts with artillery, but Renyu seized the opportunity to conduct a counter-artillery operation, and during a brief ten-minute firefight, the artillery combat team retreated in disarray, leaving behind the wreckage of four artillery carriages. Then, during Renyu''s subsequent harassment operations, the artillery often encountered Renyu''s commanded troops.


    A huge shell exploded in front of Renyu''s army, the fire of the explosion enveloped half of the RoboCop squad. Metal parts that were disintegrated by the explosives splattered in all directions, and some hit the armor of the to gun carriage and were ejected.Renyu was no longer the rookie he was a few months ago. He took a deep breath to steady his heartbeat, and estimated the position of the local artillery group based on the enemy trajectory to fire counter artillery coverage.


    Under one covering shot, the distant enemy artillery quieted down. The earth began to tremble regularly, that was the enemy cavalry beginning to charge, a hundred meters away the charging cavalry held their sabers high, the blades reflecting the sunlight emitting a blinding light. In front of the artillery their own tall mechanized soldiers stepped forward, while behind the artillery, the infantry trotted forward at a neat pace.


    When the cavalry was about seventy meters away from the artillery, Renyu ordered forty guns to level their muzzles and aim at the oncoming cavalry, the horses seemed to feel the terror contained in the black holes of the barrels and unconsciously deflected their direction. However, at that moment, fire was opened and a shell flew out from the gap in the ranks of the mechanized soldiers. The shells landed in front of the cavalry line, and then bounced up half a meter as if they were floating before exploding!


    The huge storm of air waves wrapped around the debris on the ground, like a storm of bullets sweeping across the first platoon of cavalry. An entire platoon of cavalry was directly violently overturned, the first platoon of cavalry and horses in this storm of explosions were directly torn into meat scraps and blood foam. The strong explosion storm also decelerated the second platoon of cavalry, these riders were in front of their comrades and horses bone fragments and blood muscle fragments confused all over the body when the face. The courage to fight was also swept away.


    The artillery barrage was perfectly timed, suppressing the momentum of the entire charging Knights. The steel mechanized soldiers waved their long swords and walked into the battlefield, the gun carriages started to retreat after firing their cannons, and the following was the melee stranglehold between the infantry and the mechanized soldiers.


    Twelve hundred cavalrymen, forty combat squads, were first struck by artillery fire, then hindered by the mechanical soldiers, and finally harvested by the musketeers firing in unison. Under these triple blows, the entire battlefield was piled with corpses, and countless horses and people were wailing on the ground.


    Kalini, who was prepared to hold the enemy forces at bay for Giacomo, did not expect the war to go so well. The last mobile guardian force of the entire city-state was lost. That night, Kalini ordered his troops to move on and the battle line advanced to the foot of the city-state.


    The shelling began. Shell after shell crashed into the steel buildings, exploding fire with incendiary shells like skywomen scattering flowers, making graceful arcs in the sky, smashing into one building after another. Three hours of shelling left the steel city littered with incendiary smoke. The mortars in the military zone didn''t exactly guard the entire city. The smoke ignited by the artillery shelling the demilitarized zone also left the military zone defenseless.


    "Stop the shelling ......" Kalini ordered Renyu as he looked through his binoculars at the city-state, "We are going to win."


    Renyu asked, "Is the general sending out ground troops to enforce the occupation of the city now?"


    General Kalini craned his head to look at Renyu for about three seconds, then sighed and said, "Our side of this city-state is under-controlled right now. When Giacomo arrives, the city can be taken completely."


    A trace of doubt flashed in Renyu''s eyes, but he realized it in an instant. In his heart, he laughed to himself, it hadn''t been long since he had just left his original world, how could he even forget the human condition? The conclusion of the Battle of Dilsey Plains was one that only the Mina royal family was qualified to draw.

 Chapter 15.vanguard

    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.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    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.¡±

 Chapter 16.waiver

    Giacomo made a decision that Renyu didn''t dare to disobey. The leader of the remaining troops is Andrew, Renyu is not qualified to compete with him for the position of commander. Because in the Dilsey Plains battlefield, Renyu''s mission is to provide fire support to friendly troops. On the other hand, Andrew had experienced all kinds of small encounters, offense and defense battles, and movement battles on the Dilsey Plains battlefield, so he had a lot of experience in independent combat.


    In novels, the protagonist''s henchmen all have special talents, maybe a talent for business, or a strong power.Renyu is not averse to working for someone else. When you work for someone with power, all decisions and opinions can be left to the boss to decide. One can gain no small amount of profit by just doing one''s own thing.


    But right now, people willing to give Renyu a chance to be a conscientious boss don''t exist.Inoue Ohno is Japanese, and Renyu understands that the basis of his good relationship with him is because of his own great ability in commanding artillery, not because he has stumbled upon a Japanese with an internationalist streak.


    Andrew is Anglo-American, elite American whose ass sits on the side of the white man. He has nothing good in mind when he drags Renyu into this mission. It will limit Renyu''s possibilities of getting battle credit on a battlefield that is not suitable for artillery.


    As an officer in a multiracial mix like the U.S. Army, he knows very well how to keep the command of the military in the hands of certain races. Because the entire military is a complex system, it is impossible for someone to be familiar with every aspect of it. It is enough to assign a suppressed person a job with which he is not familiar. This seemingly fair division of labor worked so well that few of the generals commanding the military on the front lines in the United States were of other races, and there were few people of other ethnicities in key positions.


    The protagonists of this world don''t know what goes on amongst the travelers.Renyu has had a very hard time as Andrew''s second-in-command. There can only be one voice in the army. As the commander of the army, Andrew could overpower everyone in the army, if not for the fact that there was no way to transfer Inoue Ohno into this army. Andrew would have reemerged as the dominant voice of the entire crossover team.


    The traversing team is now divided into two parts, with Andrew commanding one African, and two whites, Renyu, and Chimura Niiyama, whose mission is in the attack on Fleeglo Crags. Of the main army that follows Giacomo north, there are only three travelers, one white traveler, Vasirez, and the other two, Li Cun Cheng and Inoue Ohno. without Renyu as a go-between, it is unlikely that Li and Inoue Ohno will be able to coexist peacefully. This gives Vasirez a favorable external environment.


    This division, crossing the ranks, the crisis of domination of the white bloc was resolved.


    Fleeglo Crags, a territory controlled by the Duke of Silari. The terrain here is very treacherous, and the terrain here is like a very steep step. It is divided into five layers, with one plateau on top of another. The edges of each tier fall off dramatically, like a flight of steps, and each tier has a city stuck at the connecting point. Duke Silari''s capital was on the highest step. Each level of the steps was covered with densely packed turrets.


    In Carlini''s exact words from the game''s plot, ¡°I never thought of attacking Fleeglo, which has the strongest air defenses in all of Vinci.¡± The combat blimp climbs a plateau of steps on the bottom level, having to fill a layer of airbags in the blimp with gas, and then bring along a multitude of ballast, which must be discarded with each step crossed. Each time you cross a step you are hit by defensive artillery on the rising plateau steps. It was an extremely defensible terrain that would have been difficult to attack had Duke Silari''s main army not been largely wiped out at the Battle of Dilsey. No one would have dared to attack this terrain.


    Looking up at the distant plateau reaching into the cloudy sky.Renyu sighed. The vanguard forces had already taken a small city-state on the first rung of the ladder, through which they had gathered their population and trained their troops. Resisting the steady stream of troops coming out of the plateau.


    During the morning''s fighting, three turrets on the eastern defense line were overrun. In a combat meeting, Andrews blamed Renyu''s artillery support for being too late, and used this as a reason to break up two gun crews belonging to Renyu''s command.


    The angry Andrew in the meeting wasn''t faking it. Andrew had put himself in a dangerous situation with his decision. Duke Silari''s army was not weak in combat, and the purpose of this battle was to hold out. Facing Duke Silari''s superior force, Andrew''s locally recruited troops routed three times, although they were brutally suppressed by military law. But military law had its limits, and now the mental capacity of the soldiers had reached its limit. If there was no more disappointment at not seeing victory, the colonial army, which depended on military law to keep it going, would turn on itself with a vengeance.


    Initially, Renyu was just watching from the sidelines with some gloating. But Andrew''s accusations made Renyu realize that he would probably be pushed out to scapegoat the military failure. This scapegoat would have to be of a high enough level to remove the anger of the local colonial army. Renyu, as Andrew''s second-in-command, is the perfect candidate.


    In the meeting Renyu wanted to retort. But he calms down, Andrew shifts the blame to divert the hatred of the colonial army. But until the entire army completely collapsed, Renyu was safe. If he rebels on the spot, not only will it do little good, Andrew will get an excuse for Renyu''s insubordination, and when the protagonists come back to ask why, Andrew will be able to throw all the reasons for his failure at Renyu.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    ¡°Pah!¡± Renyu slammed the wrench in his hand on the stone, steel and rock collided, bringing out a bit of sparks.Renyu cursed softly, ¡°If I have a choice in the future, I''ll never work with a white-skinned baboon again!¡±


    Now in this situation Renyu felt very suffocated. Andrew was suppressing himself, and he still had to help him. And Andrew was still ready to push Renyu out to give responsibility for the failure. If it wasn''t for the fact that Mina''s Legion was so strong that Duke Silari and The Doge''s side was bound to lose, Renyu would be pondering whether or not to defect to the past.


    The victory or defeat of the vanguard army didn''t matter to Mina. Because as long as the vanguard army was stationed around the Fleeglo Crags, Duke Silari''s army couldn''t reinforce the defense system at full strength.


    Renyu picked up his tools and performed a grinding operation on a small steel cylinder on the lathe. The gift of being able to soften any material surrounded the cylinder, and as the softened steel met the hard lathe blade, the edges were gradually rounded off.


    This world''s technology and weapons are still in the early days of Earth''s first industrial revolution, electricity is still in the form of direct current, cavalry can still be used as the main force on the battlefield, and infantry fights in columns with courage and discipline. So some weapons have not yet been invented, and Mina has a class of soldiers called ¡°Elite Royal Bombardiers¡±, which are more difficult to train than the infantry. They had to throw grenades at a distance of twenty-five meters, and they had to throw them in the face of enemy musketry or cavalry charges.


    Heavy artillery units play too poorly in this battlefield. So Renyu created such a weapon. It had a half-meter long cylinder with a two-legged stand underneath.


    Renyu, a mechanical amateur, has built a very rudimentary bomb-thrower, which in practice can only throw a grenade as far as it will go. In order to finish this thing, Renyu even asked a real Japanese Chimura Niiyama for advice.


    Well, after bragging with him about the historical figures he admired, the somewhat right-wing minded young man''s face was slowly dropping his guard. But the guy was also an expert on paper, and faced with Renyu''s request for advice, Chimura Niiyama said with embarrassment, "With the advent of advanced automated weapons, He doesn''t know much about these old-time weapons."


    ¡°Well, it seems the real Japanese don''t get it either.¡± Renyu didn''t want to spit it out. It was a good thing that catapults weren''t very technical, as long as the design idea was roughly right, it didn''t matter if the performance was a bit poor. Under Renyu''s description and leading attempts to make them, a batch of throwing weapons with a range of one hundred meters to eighty meters were produced in the light weapons arsenal.


    "Does this stuff work ......?" Andrew asked Renyu with a skeptical tone.


    Renyu spread his hands and said, ¡°You guys fight mountain warfare, it should be rifle grenade bazookas. Too bad you can''t build these two.¡±


    Andrew said, "I''ll be experimenting with this weapons in real combat."


    Renyu said, "As the maker, I feel that I should be in the position to direct the experiment."


    Andrew got a very bad look on his face and said, "Get back to where you should be."


    This time Renyu didn''t flinch, "I''m qualified to command three combat squad corps independently. I was given orders to back you up."


    Andrew said with a cold tone, "You disobeyed the command, you can''t afford to take the responsibility for the failure of this battle."


    Renyu countered, "Under military law, non-court martial, you do not have the right to appoint or remove officers of the same rank as you at will."


    Andrew said in a somewhat softer tone, "You will still be needed to command the steam cannons and other heavy weapons."


    Renyu says, "Heavy artillery is not easy to move in this battle. I think it might work better under your direct command."


    When Renyu finished saying the word direct subordinate, Andrew''s eyelids jumped a little. In the end, so far, during the Fliglo Crag hold, Renyu had been very cooperative with Andrew, and the artillery support had done an excellent job, not any different from a direct subordinate. This was precisely the original purpose of Giacomo transferring Renyu into the Vanguard Corps, giving him the best artillery at Andrew''s request.


    But after Andrew makes things difficult time and time again, Renyu finally makes other choices.


    That night, in front of the surprised eyes of the logistics officer, Renyu handed over the artillery equipment and received three squads totaling two hundred and seventy troops and a team of mechanics from the colonial army training camp. The logistics officer said to the cold-faced Andrew, "Our support troops will not arrive for another two and a half months, and we are logistically limited at the moment. Do you agree that Ensign Renyu should command the infantry?"


    Renyu smiled and said, "I had a disagreement with Commander Andrews yesterday, I believe the heavy artillery under my command does not function well in the mountains and should be abandoned. Use the limited logistics to support more useful troops."


    The logistics officer frowned a bit and said to Andrews, "Ensign Andrews, you were the one who asked for the artillery to accompany you in the first place, is that what you think as well?"


    Andrew''s face was expressionless as he said, ¡°I still think it''s necessary to keep the heavy artillery units.¡±


    The logistics officer said to Andrew, "In that case, the twenty artillery pieces will be under your name and under your command, and the corresponding logistical consumption will be transferred to your name. I have no right to ask about frontline command, but I would like to remind you that the logistics of the rest of the force can no longer be expanded. One of the Mechanical Spider formations you applied for must be canceled."


    Frontline military commanders cannot command logistics officers, and Mina will not allow such warlords. When Renyu decided that he did not want the twenty guns, leaving his logistics free to command other troops, Andrew was forced to take over the twenty guns. This was because these twenty artillery pieces had fought with him at his request. If he completely abandoned the heavy artillery, then it would mean that his previous request to mobilize artillery and good artillery was a waste of valuable military materials, and the losses caused by idle heavy weapons would be on his head according to Mina''s military discipline regulations.

 Chapter 17.joint work

    In the realm before Renyu crossed over, because of certain historical issues and certain extra-territorial countries meddling in the matter, resulting in some issues of interests and principles, Renyu and the people of that place were not very kind to each other, but under normal circumstances, they would at most not speak to each other. Of course there might be cursing at each other online.


    If these two countries were the only ones in this traveling party, Renyu can assure you that he and Chimura Niiyama would be hawks in favor of fighting. But now? Under the aggressive pressure of the Anglo-American white-skinned ghost animal Andrew, Renyu was forced to make contact with Chimura Niiyama, and after a trial and error, both sides breathed a sigh of relief as they both carefully avoided topics that could cause conflict.


    ¡°Andrew and I have had a bit of a disagreement, I wish to attack the enemy with a catapult in this mountainous battle, and I am unfamiliar with field combat, would Your Excellency be able to help, please.¡± After a few pleasantries, Renyu stated his purpose.Chimura Niiyama looked at Renyu with a hint of hesitation on his face.


    Renyu understands that Chimura Niiyama has had a less than stellar time under Andrew''s leadership as well. Maybe Andrew was doing well on the surface, but the two remaining whites and the afro weren''t so sure, and Renyu had seen Chimura Niiyama mocked several times by a fat white traveler for being a yellow-skinned monkey.


    Of course, just a few words like this is not likely to make Chimura Niiyama turn to Renyu, Andrew''s calculation is correct, the hatred left over from the pre-crossing period is the biggest obstacle to the cooperation between the two travelers, Chimura Niiyama''s rank is lower than Renyu''s, Chimura Niiyama is afraid of joining the side of Renyu will be subjected to more insidious retaliation.But Renyu reaches out to Chimura Niiyama, ready to pay the price.


    Renyu added, ¡°Two infantry squads, you will be in direct charge and command of the operation, I will not interfere. My artillery team will follow you. Verify the effectiveness of the catapult operations.¡± The troops Renyu could command right now were three infantry combat squads and one mechanized troop squad. Splitting the command of the two infantry was the same as giving half of the battlefield command. And personally commanding combat armies, not being commanded, was a huge temptation for Chimura Niiyama.


    Chimura Niiyama''s breathing was visibly heard to become ragged after Renyu made his offer.Renyu continued, ¡°If you''re willing to do that, I''ll report it to the logistics department.¡±


    The blaze in Chimura Niiyama''s eyes subsided and he looked at Renyu and asked, ¡°Mr. Ren, how can I repay you?¡±


    Renyu said, ¡°Victory. Dilsey Plains Assembly Battle, I was commanding artillery shelling at the Battle of the Twin Bastions. I''m not familiar with squad combat, which is why I''m being suppressed by Andrew right now. But you are the one who has experienced squad combat with hundreds of people, as well as the mutual coordination of the entire squad. With your help, I can make fewer mistakes, and the greater the chance of victory on the battlefield.¡±Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    Renyu gave up the artillery, but took the responsibility all the same, and Renyu''s unauthorized dropping of the heavy weapons would give Andrew an excuse if the battlefield choice of replacing the bulky artillery with smaller guns could not be justified by actual battle results. Andrew could report to his superiors that it was Renyu''s private behavior that affected the outcome of the entire battle.


    Renyu doesn''t believe that Andrew will set himself up with officers who can prove that the new weapons work. The two whites were unlikely to help Renyu, and neither was the African-American; only the equally suppressed Chitose Shinzan had any basis for cooperation, but again, it would require Renyu to take that step of his own accord.


    As Chimura Niiyama and Renyu led the army out, Andrew''s face was very hard to see, an important condition had changed, and that would not turn out as expected. He thought for a moment and walked over to the logistics officer to seal twenty heavy artillery pieces and replace them all with catapults.


    Renyu was panting heavily, eight hours of marching thirty-five kilometers, carrying seven kilograms of barrels and twenty-six rounds of grenades, a total of twenty kilograms.Renyu was kind of exhausted. Renyu had advanced in steam artillery carriages or mechanical soldiers in previous battles. Since commanding artillery, he had not experienced marching on his own legs.


    Despite being tired, Renyu held on, and Chimura Niiyama was drenched in sweat. The town four hundred meters away came into view. This town''s a supply point for passing merchants. Frigoro''s cavalry would pass by here, replenish their supplies, and then raid the city-state occupied by Mina''s vanguard.


    This town is considered a neutral force, and the troops directly under it are not part of Frigoro''s regular army. However, neutrality also depends on the situation,If Mina''s main force arrives here, these neutral forces will be strictly neutral, and they will completely surrender to that side if the price they offer is high. But now the vanguard force is weak, even if you give more money, you can''t buy the neutral forces to fight like in the past battles.

 Chapter 18 - The Airship That Tumbled

    In the Timonium-rich wasteland, a steamy helicopter flies fast from the sky. The design of the helicopter in this world can be referenced to the helicopters designed by Leonardo da Vinci (search for Da Vinci helicopters yourself for specific pictures), whereas the spiral part of the helicopters on Earth has four slurry blades, this helicopter has one whole spiral blade. It''s like rotating up the face of a staircase. Puff puff puff puff steam boiler pushes the thick spiral parachute blades to rotate, leaving a trail of smoke in the sky.


    The saga continues the world of large troop transportation by airships. As for information transmission, ultra-long range wireless telegraphy had not yet been invented, although wired telegraphy was already available. But the cost of setting up a wired telegraph is too great. And the forces on the plains are often the battlefield where all the forces are fighting, and wired telegraphs are extremely easy to be destroyed.


    So the communication structure of this world was similar to node transmission, but here the nodes didn''t use cavalry to deliver express messages, but rather used these helicopters that flew in the sky. This kind of helicopter is very fast, Vinci piece of territory is only as big as the area of Madagascar Island, for example, the distance between two city-states on the Great Plains of Dilsey where Renyu fought a four-month war is only 120 kilometers. A normal person walking four kilometers an hour crossed the entire area in three days on foot, and the cavalry rushed one day to attack the next day.


    But it wasn''t the cavalry that was the fastest, it was these helicopters. Those that fly in the sky are always much faster than those that run on the ground. These helicopters had a speed of about two hundred kilometers per hour, which could only be considered just an introduction for those flying machines on Earth. But for the whole Vinci, it can be said that it is convenient and incomparable to summon.


    Logistics and intelligence are controlled by the command of Mina''s legion.Renyu,Andrew and others have no chance to really take control of the army independently.What happened on Fleeglo Crags has long been reported by the direct logistics officer of the main camp to the supreme commander of the main army there.


    The series of events that took place in Fleeglo were very well known to the base camp. The steam helicopter landed on the platform of the Citadel and the pilot brought a stack of information to the office of the Supreme Commander.Giacomo picked up the information and looked at it carefully. General Kalini on one side asked, ¡°What about the conflict between Ensign Andrew and Ensign Renyu at Fleeglo Crag.¡±


    Giacomo put down the intel and said, "It hasn''t affected normal wartime developments yet, and both sides have consciously suppressed their differences."


    General Kalini picked up the paper Giacomo had put down and looked at it and said, "It looks like Andrew conceded this argument."


    Giacomo said, "He''s the first military chief there, directly responsible for success or failure there, and is on the conservative side about the emergence of new weapons. This is understandable. He also chose very decisively to switch to the new weapons after they proved their worth."


    Kalini looked at the information and read it out, ¡°Ensign Renyu and Reserve Ensign Niiyama fought in the eastern mountains. According to their captured barrels and sabers and their battle report records. They engaged at least thirty battle cohorts of the enemy and eliminated seven battle cohorts of the enemy in twenty days. Before the Battle of Broken Raid, the main city-state sent transportation blimps to the front line thirty-four times per week, and the number of transports dropped to eight after the Battle of Broken Raid. According to intelligence observations, the direction of the blimp transportation flights has shifted to the eastern mountains.¡±


    Giacomo handed Kalini another piece of intel in his hand and said, ¡°What you''re looking at is from the logistics officer. This is the report submitted by Captain Renyu, and according to what they have gotten from the mouths of their captors, there is a General Bataleo in the eastern mountains of Fleeglo who is rebelling against the brutal rule of the Duke of Silari in Fleeglo.¡±


    General Kalini flipped through the intel a few more times and said, ¡°The actual commander of the breaching battle was the one called Ensign Niiyama Prep. Renyu also worked with him to perfect this elite bombardier weapon.¡±


    Giacomo similarly looked over some of the information Renyu had passed on, which detailed a series of shortcomings of the barrel-throwing and heavy mortar weapons that had been exposed in actual combat. Looking at Giacomo, who was engrossed in the technology, General Kalini prompted, "The conflicts in the Fliglow Vanguard army have not been eliminated."


    Giacomo looked up and said, ¡°Ensign Andrews has admitted his mistake. And has equipped his troops with this light artillery.¡±Giacomo was a technological inventor and a mere novice when it came to experience as a king, whereas Kalini was far more experienced.


    General Kalini said, ¡°Before the Battle of the Breach. Andrew''s report on Renyu was negative comments such as poor artillery support. As for the specific shelling being a technical problem, our intelligence officers are amateurs and can''t tell the exact cause. So whether it was Ensign Andrew''s claim that Renyu deliberately delayed artillery support, or whether Ensign Renyu emphasized that heavy artillery simply could not be mobilized in the mountains anymore, we do not know. However, when Ensign Renyu completely abandoned the heavy artillery and demanded light artillery tactics. Ensign Andrews, in his conservative stance, gives us an unfavorable comment. It was felt that Renyu, who had no experience in independent combat, would only be burying a limited defense force if he acted rashly.¡±


    Giacomo nodded and said, "At that time, you and I said that Andrew criticized over and over again, making Renyu doubt whether Andrew was impartial. But it shouldn''t be fought in such a way that is suspected of splitting the army."The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    Kalini said, "Now the fact of the matter is that Ensign Renyu found an excellent combat officer who turned out to be only a petty officer of a lower rank. And while detailed combat battle reports are made public at the weekly combat exchange meetings, Andrew has not taken the initiative to de-escalate with his lieutenant since so far, nor has he once shown praise for Renyu, his lieutenant, in his reports."


    Giacomo said, ¡°Maybe he just forgot.¡±


    Kalini said, "The reasons and military law for victories and defeats are to be taken on their merits, but front-line army commanders must give credit to their comrades, especially the good ones. I smell jealousy in these battle reports."


    Raining grenades fell from the sky, bursting out countless shrapnel and triggering chaos in the four combat formations opposite. During this time of confusion, Niiyama commanded his two combat squads to press forward in a neat formation like a wall. Seeing the enemy pressing in front of them, the enemy, whose formation had just been disrupted by the bombs, panicked and opened fire, and three or four of Niiyama''s troops were shot and fell.


    While they were still panicking, a neat volley of bullets met them, and the bullets impacted on them spattering them with bright red blood. The Fleeglo soldiers, who had escaped, dropped their weapons and fled quickly.


    Twenty days of fighting and gaining the upper hand time and time again seemed to have injected Niiyama with a never-tiring stimulant, finding an opportunity to take a bite out of the enemy even when faced with superior enemy forces.


    This time, when he saw twice as many enemies in front of him, but some of them had just landed from the airships and were mixing with the receiving troops in a chaotic manner, and the airships were still unloading a steady stream of soldiers, Niiyama decided to attack.


    Hot blooded doesn''t equal no thinking. Having survived the Battle of Dilsey, Niiyama has more experience in independent combat than Renyu. In this era of industrial development, sometimes the non-commissioned officer could decide whether a battle was won or lost more than the soldier.


    Cannon fodder could be trained in three months after conscription, but in the age of peace, sergeants were required to undergo at least two or three years of study. Of course there is a faster way to train sergeants, and that is on the battlefield. Those who survive are the experienced sergeants and will be quickly promoted to sergeant in wartime. This kind of selection is very cruel, because life is only once.


    The existence of the protective light screen gives Niiyama, Renyu and the others a little more chance of surviving the brutal battlefield, and it is in the midst of the dangerous exchange of artillery fire that Renyu hones his calm shooting. (In a game like World of Tanks, you should be able to get a Composure skill bonus... funny)


    After these many days of fighting, Renyu had learned a lot from Niiyama''s command. Loading bullets to form effective firepower with teammates, and pulling the trigger to project and kill according to the order, it''s easy to say, and you''ll be familiar with it after practicing it dozens of times in normal times, but on the battlefield, who can guarantee that these steps will go smoothly in an environment where you don''t know if you''ll live to see the next second.


    The sergeant has to safeguard his side''s troop fire projection as well as judging the opponent''s fire projection, giving the opponent a killing blow whenever possible when the opposite side is in trouble.Renyu and Niiyama work well together, and in the short time caused by the grenade bombardment Niiyama''s team has maneuvered to the best possible position to give the opponent the biggest blow that will make the opposite side crumble in an instant.


    The ropes dangling from the airships in the sky were still lowering soldiers, but the soldiers and receiving troops that had already come down were being broken up, and Niiyama commanded his own soldiers with bayonets in pursuit of the routed and disorganized soldiers.


    Watching his soldiers in disarray, the commander staying on the transport blimp decided to support. Not from joining this mess below, of course, but to try and salvage the defeat by firing downwards from the firepower on the blimp.


    Several crisp volleys of gunfire rang out from thirty meters in the sky, sweeping a line of smoking ash across the ground. the soldiers under Niiyama''s command unconsciously looked up at the threat in the sky, and the pursuit slowed.


    Just then the huge airship shuddered. The landing of this helium-carrying blimp was not a natural one. Rather, the dangling ropes were secured by a pile driver, and then the ropes were contracted to pull the airship down hard from the sky. Forty steel ropes smoothly pulled the airship to a height of thirty meters, dropping the ropes for the soldiers to climb down.


    Renyu hadn''t prepared a direct attack on this large massive airship from the start, at thirty meters the airship wouldn''t do much damage even if it fell. His plan was to keep the huge blimp off balance, and while Niiyama was routing the enemy forces, Renyu''s troops rushed underneath the blimp and strapped bombs to a dozen steel cables on the left side of the blimp. As the volley guns fired through the windows of the airship. The cables on the left side of the dirigible started to explode, and one by one the steel wires on the cables were blown off, and the remaining wires could not withstand the pressure of the dirigible''s huge upward movement and also snapped one by one.


    The row of steel cables on the left side of the airship connected to the earth were all ripped off by the huge uplift force of the airship. The airship instantly flipped over at 60 degrees. The speed of this flip was much faster than that of a ship on the sea. The shooting in the airship only lasted for one wave. Those soldiers who poked out half of their bodies to shoot were just like passengers on a bus braking sharply, the huge inertia made them lose balance, dozens of soldiers were directly thrown out of the window, the height of thirty meters no matter what position they were thrown down, the best result would be a fractured vertebrae, although this world can treat this kind of full body paralysis, but this was a chaotic battlefield, basically it could be declared hopeless.


    However, this was only the beginning of a series of chain reactions, as a large number of steel cables were destroyed, the remaining cables were not enough to hold the buoyancy of the airships. A pile driver attached to the steel cables was yanked hard out of the earth by the immense buoyancy.


    After only ten seconds, the entire airship had formed a ninety-degree right angle with the ground, and only the five steel cables at the head were still supporting it to be connected to the earth. However, everyone was able to clearly see that the land where these last five connecting steel cables of the pile driver were located was rapidly bulging, and dense spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the bulging earth packages around the pile driver, and kept spreading outwards. The last few steel cables simply could not withstand the huge uplift force of the airship and were pulled out.


    As the last steel cable was pulled out by the airship, the entire airship just flew towards the sky at an almost ninety degree inclination angle.

 Chapter 19: An Appearance

    Before entering the mountains, Renyu and Niiyama discussed what should be done with the prisoners, and Niiyama''s opinion was to dispose of them all. Infiltration operations behind enemy lines usually leave no prisoners. This would instill fear in the enemy''s mind.


    But Renyu denied it. Seeing Renyu''s denial, Niiyama persuaded, ¡°Mr.Ren, this is a war, and sympathizing with the enemy is cruelty to ourselves. We can only think of ourselves.¡±


    Renyu looked at the Japanese man in front of him, changed by the war, and thought for a moment, ¡°Niiyama, even if we spread fear as much as we can, our forces are just so scarce that we can''t intimidate all of our enemies. But it is easy to invoke the hatred of all.¡±


    Niiyama said in a strong tone of voice, ¡°Being able to kill some people is also an advantage.¡±


    Renyu shook his head and said, "Killing won''t solve the problem."


    Watching Niiyama get a little emotional, Renyu said, "Listen to my explanation and you make your decision."


    Niiyama said, "You said."


    Renyu said calmly, "There is an old Chinese saying, ''If you know yourself and know your enemy, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles''. Let''s try to put ourselves in each other''s shoes for a moment. For those Frigoro armies that have come to exterminate us, we have indeed caused them some trouble. However, they can take a different approach to dealing with us as a problem. They can either choose to run away from the trouble or take the initiative."


    He paused and then continued, "But if we show our determination to never leave anyone alive, then there is only one response left for these forces besieging us. They must be on constant alert, guarding closely against our possible sneak attacks and making sure that the various units work closely together. For if they slacken the slightest, they may be annihilated by us. Neither the commanders nor the lowest soldiers have any other choice but to fight us to the death. But what if we decide to spare their lives after achieving victory? When faced with a life-and-death decision, knowing that they still have hope of survival, their mindset will change. After all, no one wants to die easily. So, in this case, their fighting spirit will be greatly weakened."


    Niiyama frowned and asked, "Are you saying that if we let them live, they will give up fighting us again? How is that possible!"


    Renyu gently shook his head and explained, ¡°No, you''ve misunderstood. What I''m trying to say is that if we release the captives, then for the other troops who have not yet been defeated by us, they will have one more option when facing us. People are afraid of trouble, and as commanders they are even more reluctant to lose a battle. As long as a portion of the remaining troops develop the idea of avoiding battle, the pressure we face will be greatly reduced.¡±


    Niiyama countered, "But if the soldiers we let go are rearmed and then continue fighting us once more, won''t our previous victories be in vain?"


    Renyu revealed a faint smile and said, ''''Victory in war does not depend solely on killing, but also on destroying the opponent''s will to fight. As long as we continue to win, those troops who were defeated by us but managed to survive will inevitably be hesitant and slow to act when they see us when fighting alongside friendly forces. This emotion of avoiding war can be infected to their entire army as long as it exists, and then the impression is reinforced by the blow of defeat after defeat."


    "There''s also another reason, their army is fighting us in small squads, even if we wipe out one of their squads, it doesn''t have much of an effect on the other squads. And those commanders are all nobles, this kind of battle without a lot of casualties will just be ridiculed for the nobles, it won''t make higher level commanders take away their command, but they will definitely want to disgrace those people as well after being ridiculed by their peers. This way they will unconsciously help us spread the sentiment of avoiding war."


    Renyu gazed at Niiyama, and seeing him nodding thoughtfully, he continued to explain, ''''If I am faced with an enemy whose strength is far inferior to mine, and who dares to provoke me, I will use the strongest means, and the fastest speed to completely destroy them; however, if I encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat in the short term, then my battle bottom line will be drawn based on what the enemy has done. At this stage, our combat goal is not to destroy as many enemies as possible, but to stall them and trap them in the outer battlefield. But we''re too weak, so if we push the other side to leave no room for maneuver, it will trigger them to fight to the death, and then we''ll be in danger of extinction.¡±


    Niiyama was convinced.


    And it is due to Renyu''s control that the entire army does not move in the direction of depravity. Each time the enemy was defeated, the captured personnel were released back after being disarmed, in addition to the casualties inflicted in battle. Those commanders and soldiers who fled back to the rear with shame suffered the ridicule of their fellow soldiers, and as the ridicule grew, they came to greatly expect their ridiculing colleagues to return with shame on their backs.


    Over the course of a month-long battle, Renyu and Niiyama''s forces had exchanged fire with a total of thirty-seven combat squads in the mountains. Every single time, they crushed them. The opponents had also gone from cursing in the beginning to having to use honorifics in combat meetings.


    Of course this raid on the four combat squads and the airships was a new record of victory. Those routed Fleeglo soldiers very skillfully put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. There were even some soldiers who had gotten to know each other with the soldiers guarding the captives because they had surrendered several times.


    While the cleaning of the battlefield on the ground was proceeding methodically, the airships in the sky were not adjusting back, due to the fact that the airship airbags were dangling from the front and back weights of the silos. The steam furnace that provided the power also tilted to one side, and after five minutes the boiler began to catch fire, and the flames then ignited one of the connecting ropes between the huge airbags. This aerial disaster occurred fifteen minutes after the tilt. The ropes connecting the airbags on the originally warped side broke in the fire. Countless airbags flew out of the airship''s shell, and the silo, which was originally pointing at sixty or seventy degrees to the sky, suddenly dropped slowly without buoyancy, pulling the entire airship down diagonally toward the ground as well.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    A tragic disaster occurred as the many people and goods that were originally concentrated at the front end were inverted due to the top and bottom. It slammed steeply into the back of the airship. After a loud sound of wood breaking. These unlucky people and objects directly smashed through the barn of the boat, and as the barn swung a large number of them were flung down. Hundreds of soldiers and warhorses fell down from the huge broken hole at the back end of the boat barn.


    Including the captives, as well as Renyu, Niiyama''s troops unconsciously looked at this tragic sight in the sky with their mouths wide open.


    Looking at the airships in the sky that had fallen apart beyond recognition, Niiyama said, "It''s really comparable to a disaster blockbuster."


    Renyu said, "War is supposed to be the greatest disaster."


    Renyu turned to Niiyama and said, "You quickly withdraw east with your troops, leaving me with fifty men. I''ll take command of the prisoners and see if I can save a few."


    With a look of incredulity on his face, Niiyama pointed at the huge barn of a boat hanging from the airbag and swaying from side to side, "That thing could come crashing down at any moment, are you crazy?"


    However Renyu had already rushed out by now, leaving behind the words, "You take the troops out first."


    "You, all of you, go over there right now, and get anyone you see with a breath in two minutes out of there fast." Hearing Renyu''s order, these captives hesitated a bit. But then Renyu waved his hand fifty soldiers raised their shining bayonets, matching the rows of soldiers'' bayonets, Renyu sucked in a breath and said, "My soldiers will be watching you guys from fifty meters away whoever doesn''t run over there for a trip will suffer the consequences.Ten seconds and counting."


    Rows of guns were aimed at the surrendered soldiers. The captives quickly ran towards the crash site. As all the captives ran towards the crash site, Renyu said to the remaining troops, "Maintain the force suppression formation. I''m going to take a look." Renyu then followed the captives as they ran over to the site with his own people looking on in amazement.


    In fact, Renyu wasn''t sure if he really wanted to save people, the war was too brutal, some people were driven crazy and went on a killing spree, while others were psychologically weak and committed suicide in the barracks.Renyu couldn''t be sure if he was strong, or if his current behavior was a case of suicidal tendencies taking over, or if it was the many years of education that had made it impossible for him to tolerate the fragile lives wailing in front of his eyes. wailing before his eyes.


    Even rushing halfway by himself, hearing the huge boat silo that made a creaking figure in mid-air, Renyu even developed a strong feeling of regret.


    Reaching the fall zone of a field of corpses, Renyu heard a hoarse plea for help from the bushes, and with the threat of a death hammer swinging overhead, Renyu got close enough to carry the man on his back. This person''s seventy to eighty kilograms of weight, Renyu himself did not know where he got the courage to swing this person towards his body and run quickly. After running for three to five seconds, Renyu heard the sound of a huge rope collapsing above his back, and the huge black shadow that was blocking out the sunlight fell towards the other side.


    There was a loud thud. The massive hull of the boat slammed into the ground, the tiny splinters of broken wood grazing his own forehead.Renyu stopped putting the man behind him down and gasped loudly. The fallen man behind him said in a tone of self-deprecating doubt, "Mina''s officer?"


    Renyu twisted his head to look at the middle-aged knight with a bloodstained face. Gasping, he said, "As the victor, I have the right to decide whether to save you or kill you."


    This middle-aged man let out a night-lord-like laugh and said, "Don''t expect anyone to be grateful, I know you blew up the steel cables of the blimp, you made this happen."


    Renyu shook his head and said, "Back then, you were my opponent, and trying to fight you guys in every way possible was how I survived. As for now, you are the defeated, it is my freedom to do what I want. As an opponent you''re in a position to judge me, as the defeated, you''re not in a position to do so now."


    This middle-aged man laughed and said, "It''s funny that Mina has someone like you."


    Renyu patted his pants leg and said, ¡°I''ll have Fleeglo''s defeated soldiers find you later. This little encounter is over. Feel free to bring more troops to us if you want to seek revenge on me.¡± Ten minutes later Renyu disappeared out of sight of the defeated soldiers with fifty of his soldiers.


    The middle-aged man was surrounded by a group of soldiers with their heads bowed. In the middle-aged man''s hand a flowing mass of healing magic potion circled his ribs as well as his thighs. After a few minutes he stood up, although his face and clothes were a bit dirty, he could not hide his aura of superiority. Looking at a group of remnants without any weapons. This middle-aged man said angrily, "All of you raise your heads, seeing you like this, it would be better to let Mina''s people just kill you."


    What Renyu doesn''t know is that the middle-aged man he just saved is actually the Duke of Silari, who is in charge of Fleeglo, and once Renyu kills him, the months-long war will be over.


    On this journey, Duke Silari brought eight infantry squads (seven hundred and twenty infantry), four cavalry squads (120 cavalry), and one artillery team to the east for inspection. The main purpose was not to eliminate Renyu''s group. For Duke Silari, Renyu''s Mina was just a small problem. Since Renyu''s Mina was just a defeated unit and caused fewer casualties, Fleeglo''s army, which was in charge of the siege of Renyu, changed the name of the battle to ¡°fierce fighting¡±. The battle report submitted to the Duke of Silari only showed a large loss of equipment.


    Silari''s real concern is that General Battalio is in contact with Mina.


    So landing in the middle of the way to drop off a group of besieging troops was done only in passing. The real purpose was to provide support to the troops besieging General Bataleo and to inspect the defenses there in the meantime. Unfortunately, this support was all but wiped out halfway through by the forces commanded by Renyu and Niiyama. What surprised him even more was that the airship was only thirty meters from the ground. At this height, even if all the airbags were destroyed, they were still able to land safely. However, they were actually almost completely wiped out by an enemy with far fewer troops than their own.


    This fiasco witnessed by Silari seems to have given the noble officers who were defeated by Renyu Niiyama an excuse, and it''s almost as if no one has ever said to Silari, "Look, it''s not that we''re incompetent, it''s that our opponent is too strong."


    And Silari sensed that his troops had this mood of justified failure, so the mood was very stormy. Duke Silari thought longer term and thought, ¡°This Sergeant Mina is commanding just a small unit. If Mina Command gives this unit more support, then won''t the troops here even have the courage to fight against it.¡±

 Chapter 20: Support

    Ever since Renyu and Niiyama returned from the east to replenish their troops and food supplies, there was always a false smile on Andrewskin''s face. But this time when they returned, Andrew didn''t even have a smile, his face was very ugly. At first Renyu had doubts. Originally a very shrewd opponent, how come his emotional control was so poor? Until Renyu saw the other two white people and an African-American looking at themselves with the eyes of an evil being, Renyu seemed to understand something.


    Andrews is an absolute elite, both in terms of ability and emotional intelligence, and such a group of people are the backbone of Western society. They are the thinking brains of the entire Western world, the eyes that see the world. More than ninety-nine percent of the scientists and advanced engineers in the entire West. Come from this class, they are also worthy of the name of elite.


    But the average person in the West? It''s very much a case of one and done. The two whites who have survived are undoubtedly the ordinary class of people, and after nearly a century of smearing and vilification by the Western media, their stereotypes of other ethnic groups are extremely difficult to change. The subconscious thinking of these two whites is that Renyu is a team that must be obeyed by the predominantly white people. Going to die as a stepping stone for the whites at the right time is the normal world.


    Well, Renyu is alive and well, three whites are dead, two African-Americans are dead, and the people who don''t deserve to die are dead. The people who deserved to die are still alive and well, rising in rank all the way up the ranks, which has become very similar to the villainous characters in the movie. So with so many people dead on the team, it must be because the scalawags disobeyed the command of this Earth Alliance team.


    People are influenced by their circumstances, and Andrew has long thought of Renyu and Inoue Ohno as rivals. And now that Inoue Ohno is out of control, Renyu is also out of control after giving up a heavy weapon of immense value and pulling in someone Andrew thought impossible to pull in. Andrew is also affected by the emotions of several of his allies as he calms them down. Add to that the new orders coming from the main base in the rear. This leaves Andrew somewhat unable to hide his emotions at first when he sees Renyu.


    Later, in the Logistics Officer''s conference room, which represents Mina''s central authority, Renyu realizes why Andrews has such a look on his face. The logistics officer announced the current situation of the Mina Legion, the main army led by Giacomo had defeated the ¡°King of Rourke¡±. With abundant resources and industrial capacity, the Mina Corps will be able to provide fuller support to the Fleeglo Vanguard.


    But the support was not entirely at Andrew''s disposal.


    "Based on the approval of Mina''s current Expeditionary Military Officer, Petty Officer Niiyama is hereby appointed as a Second Lieutenant." The Logistics Master Chief smiled at Niiyama''s appointment.


    Along with the rank of Ensign comes the ability to independently lead five combat squads in battle, and with this increase in logistical support, the army Andrew can command expands to eight combat squads.Renyu''s team expands to six squads as well.


    The number of advance units Mina maintains at Fliglow has been quite substantial, and defense is no longer a problem at least until the main force arrives. And there has been a noticeable improvement in the quality of the combat troops.


    Twenty three-meter-tall robots stood in a row, their shiny metal shells exuding mechanical beauty under the sunlight. The left arm of this robot soldier''s original high-powered current launcher had been completely replaced with a gun barrel with a simple bracket, and Renyu''s soldiers had put the robot''s gun barrel down and assembled it into a 150-millimeter mortar attack during the previous mountain battle. And this robotic soldier arm was reinforced. As long as the robot soldier himself crouches down, the barrel on one arm is pressed against the ground, and the other robot arm takes out the shells from the back basket behind him, then he can fire the shells.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    It is an automated process. It''s a type of soldier redesigned by Inoue Ohno based on Mina''s traditional mechanical soldiers. It is a way to give back to Renyu for helping Niiyama.


    "This thing, I like it, does it have a name?" Renyu asked to the logistics officer on the sidelines.


    The logistics officer smiled and nodded, "Of course there is a name for it, General Kalini named this mechanical soldier the ¡°Longbow¡±.


    "Longbow ......," Renyu repeated, then nodded. In the mountainous terrain, tracked wheeled heavy artillery vehicles are not convenient to maneuver, and this bipedal mechanized soldiers carrying mortars, although the range is slightly insufficient, but the advantage is flexible, Renyu will be divided into six combat squads of the establishment of the two are equipped with this "longbow" mechanized soldiers.


    As for why the rocket launcher wasn''t made, in Inoue''s letter Renyu sort of understood that the chemical process in this world was too low. Timonium mines that stored hydrogen brought convenience to the smelting of metals in this world, but it also lowered the development of the chemical industry in this world. This world did have things like rockets, but most of the launches stabilized a straight line distance of no more than 150 meters. Due to the high temperature and uncontrollability of the jet flame, a single soldier is unable to maneuver, and the processing cost is too high. Generally installed a few rounds in the mechanical spider body, used for anti-aircraft combat can not move and huge airships.
