Chapter 248, The Charge
Dellux was definitely considered a great nobleman of the Luman Kingdom. The entire kingdom had no more than eight knight-errant titans in total.
And his family owns one, and he, the Earl, drives it himself, so one can imagine his status.
Therefore, he didn't want to fight hard.
As an earl of the Luman Kingdom, the Dellux family had accumulated wealth for 20 years and finally purchased a Ranger-class Knight Titan six years ago.At this point, the family's path to success has been laid out in front of them.
Although they have incurred a large amount of debt for this, and the purchase of the Knight Titan has received a large degree of support from His Majesty the King, they have to fight for the King firmly.
But in fact, he is still not willing to fight hard.
What are you fighting for?
As long as the Ranger class he drives exists, their status as Earl of the Dellux family will be extremely stable, and they may even have the opportunity to strive for higher titles, more land, and more vassals in the future.
Pay off debts as soon as possible and expand territory...
But if this Knight Titan is destroyed, everything will be over.
Although, he could not refuse the king's call, and he did believe in the beautiful pie drawn by King Luman.
They will fully support one of the factions in the struggle of the Gu family, a large interstellar chamber of commerce. As long as they succeed, they will receive huge benefits.
However, these benefits mainly belong to His Majesty the King.
King Luman will be able to take this opportunity to obtain large profits, and even lead the country to become the strongest country on the Black Arrow Star. He may even have the opportunity to abolish the King's Council system and forever control the position of the Governor of the Black Arrow Star in his own hands. , And then become the king of the whole world.
And what about him?As a loyal follower of King Luman, he should also be able to get his share of benefits.Two more ranger knights will occupy a larger territory and more citizens...but that's all.
It would be nice to have a chance to get more; but first, he has to keep what he has now.
The most unpleasant thing to say is that even if His Majesty the King succeeds in the end, and his Knight Titan of Delex is damaged in the battle, how much can His Majesty miss their family's contribution?
Can you come up with a ranger mecha?
Then it just depends on the conscience of His Majesty the King.
And based on his understanding of His Majesty the King, it is unrealistic to expect him to be 'kind and nostalgic'.
At that time, I am afraid that His Majesty's attitude will be: I have the money to rebuild your family, so why not use this money to win over other families that still have strength.
So what will happen to the Dellux family then?Isn't it just smashing teeth and swallowing in the stomach?
He didn't want to end up like that, this was what Dellux wanted; and the driver of the other Knight Errant who participated in this battle with him seemed to have the same idea.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and made the same choice when encountering difficulties.
Originally, they planned to reload the rocket ammunition after withdrawing, and then take advantage of the range to blast it from a distance.
As long as the intensity of the military strike is maintained, it will be regarded as a deal. Anyway, the cost of the rocket launcher shells will be reimbursed by His Majesty the King.
Charge into battle?
Let's wait until the blast is almost over.
However, a communication from His Majesty the King arrived.The two were scolded bloody and given death orders, requiring them to intercept the army retreating from the capital.
According to His Majesty the King, there are 'important people' there, who are related to the success or failure of their operation.They were told to stop this unit at all costs.
Then, there was a sinister sentence:
"This is the time for you to show your loyalty to the kingdom. If you fail, I swear in the name of Luman and the king that I will make you pay the price!"
Once this is said, what else is there to say?
Dellux didn't quite believe in King Luman's compensation and rewards afterwards, but the punishment he mentioned would most likely come true.
In desperation, no matter how unhappy and resentful he felt, he had to take action with another Knight Titan controller.
The two of them led the army and operated with rare efficiency. They successfully found the traces of the Raging Star army that was evacuating towards the suburban town and intercepted it.
This shouldn't be a difficult battle.
Generally speaking, their evaluation of the so-called 'alliance' army is very high.The combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers is far ahead of the Luman Kingdom's conscripts. Hundreds of armored vehicles and eighteen Lion tanks are all very powerful things.
But he also believed that under their two Knight Titans, those tanks and armored vehicles were all lambs to be slaughtered.
This is not an attack on a solid position that the enemy has already prepared. There will not be hundreds of artillery ready to attack.The only things their colleagues have to face are tanks and armored vehicles. In encounters in the wild environment, the Knight Titan faces much smaller threats.
Sitting in the cockpit of the Knight Errant, Delux skillfully fired the rocket launchers continuously.
The bomb nests that had been emptied before were not fully filled in time, but he and his colleague still had thirteen rocket launchers in total, and they fired them with great accuracy, causing considerable damage.
Several troop transport trucks and armored vehicles were destroyed. As this wave continues, the Alliance has paid a heavy price.
Unfortunately, two rocket launchers aimed at the tank exploded and failed to take away the lion.
But then, their targets set their sights on the big guys.The high-speed howitzers and laser cannons in their hands began to fire rapidly.
Under their blows, three of the charging arrows, the lions, were destroyed in just a few minutes.
The Knight Titan opened fire while taking huge steps, crushing toward the Alliance army fiercely and mightily.
Beside the two Knight Titans, more than eighty Sentinel mechas and more than 2 conscripts were charging together.
But the alliance army, which had already suffered a lot of casualties, showed no intention of retreating.
Their morale didn't seem to have suffered a big blow, so they just stood up and faced them.
The 'Lions', who came in charge formation, fired at them equally fiercely.
Heavy bolter machine gun, reflector laser secondary gun, rail main gun... When it comes to firepower, the Lion is not weak either.
At least, destroying the Sentinel mechas next to the Knight Titan is not a big problem.
