Chapter 53 Running

With three tanks and more than eighty armed security guards equipped with steel core bullets, Dusand followed these young people out of the gate of the industrial zone.

Along the way, Dusander kept commanding and driving the ordinary people on the street to "get out of the street immediately and go back indoors." After all, all the main purpose of those crazy church priests was to kill people. Let ordinary people return home, which would make their massacre less "smooth". In order to buy some time for the lives of others.

With three tanks and eighty ordinary infantry alone, it is absolutely impossible to kill all the church steam knights who are slaughtering in Albin. This is impossible and unrealistic.

In addition to leading his team to obstruct the church's Steam Knight's attack, Dusand also gave his car directly to an armed security guard who could drive and wrote a handwritten letter.

The letter should be handed over to Major General Horn or Rosen, and the content is also very straightforward and simple.

[Please take all the troops immediately and return to Upper Albin immediately. All white-coated steam knights or other targets that fire at civilians are enemies. Eliminate them while trying to protect themselves.]

Up Arbin is the top priority of the entire Newar. All the important departments of the entire colonial star are concentrated in this city. If you want to concentrate all your strength, you must first control several key departments of Up Arbin.

The interstellar rise and fall, the Royal Post Office and the Royal Bank of Newell are the three most important key positions, and their importance has decreased in turn.

The interstellar rise and fall are a very important strategic channel. Whether it is to quickly send orders or deliver materials to other regions, or to stop the empire from continuing to reinforce the church's destruction, the interstellar rise and fall of Newell is a key strategic goal that must be held immediately in his hands.

The Royal Post Office controls the secret service agencies and information transmission channels throughout Newar. Their shuttle ships are currently the only tool in the entire Newar that can take off and land safely and transmit messages to other cities in Newar and other colonial stars in the empire.

In comparison, the Royal Bank of Newar Headquarters is the least important institution. This is the Central Bank of Newar, which has the right to mint coins on its own. It also undertakes the supervision of other financial institutions in Newar and releases low-interest loans to maintain the stable operation of Newar financial institutions by purchasing other bank bonds.

Listing Royal Bank as the last strategic goal to pay attention to is also because of its special nature. Under the current circumstances of Newell, no matter how hard the Royal Bank tries, there will always be twists and turns in the market. Compared with "repelling the White Knights of the Church" and "quickly stopping the massacre", Dusand can still remember that Royal Bank has performed exceptionally well.

"Take the rescue of ordinary people as the priority task, send the injured to the charity doctor..." Dusander said this, and suddenly stopped and changed his words, "Send to the General Hospital of the Colonial Hall."

All the charitable hospitals in Upper Albin are almost all organizations established by the church. Sending civilians over is no different from a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Dusander rushed to Sunset Square with a tank platoon and two infantry platoons equipped with light weapons. As soon as he went out, he loaded a group of armed personnel who were also heading towards Sunset Square.

This group of people are police officers who are on the side of Albin.

"Stop!" After seeing the fully armed security guards, the sheriff first sterned his face and was overjoyed. He stopped his team, then rushed to the tank and whispered, "I want to recruit you, and now follow me to Sunset Square right away!"

"Lord, this person is the sheriff who always comes to trouble us." The old accountant whispered to Dusand. The bribe is useless and you can't scare away with your name."

The sheriff whispered to the armed security guards, "There are allied infiltration forces in Sunset Square, and they are slaughtering our compatriots! Now, I order you to obey my command immediately and go to Sunset Square to block the enemy!"

Dusand jumped off the tank. He looked at the revolver in the sheriff's hand and the shotguns in the hands of the police, and asked, "You are going to fight those steam knights with this kind of weapon?"

"This is our best weapon," replied the sheriff, looking at Dusand's outfit, and then said, "Don't follow us, we're going to fight, not to play."

Dusand wore a casual outfit today, and his outfit was a little more refined than that of a child of the same age who was still in school, and that's all. Therefore, the sheriff regarded Dusand as a child lying in the team.

"How many times have I told you that children who are not old enough, you have to let them go to school!" the sheriff shouted to the old accountant, "If I find that such children who should go to school are in your company, I will punish you!"

This person is a little brainless, but he is not a bad person. This is Dusand's first impression of the sheriff.

A child who obviously commands dozens of people and three tanks, do you think he is truant of school and making a living?

But seeing that this person is still concerned about implementing the education promotion plan, Dusander raised the evaluation of "This is a fool" to "This person is a little brainless."

"Captain 2!" Dusander looked at the brainless detective, then shouted loudly.

A young man in his twenties ran over, and after running to Dusander, he stood attentively, shouting with a slam on his heel, "Report to you, Mr. Lord!"

"Take this detective and his men to get equipment in the warehouse - get them rifles and steel core bullets!" Dusand issued an order, "Start on the run, and after getting the equipment, run directly to Sunset Square!"

This is the first time that the tank has been put into actual combat. Dusander is confident in his "invention", but he is not sure whether the captain and gunner in the tank can perform at the same level as the training.

After all, the Empire's technological level was not enough to support Dusander to create any external and internal telephones for tanks. He could only get two brass pipes wrapped in rubber and penetrated armor as a call device. One pipe went straight to the cabin below the head of the car, and the other went straight to the cab.

This kind of call device...the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Usually, half of the body of the driver and the driver are exposed, and at least they can communicate with the infantry relatively normally.

But after really starting anti-armor combat, in order to ensure the safety of the tank itself, the hatch must be closed.

The commander can also use heavy machine guns with tracer bullets to indicate targets to the tank, or direct his teammates by shouting and stepping on his feet. But commanders from outside are basically inaudible.

"If you start fighting, you will decide your own goals." Although I was not sure whether the crew could perform at the level of training, Dusand decided to hand over all the trust to them. He shouted to the two commanders who stuck out of the car, "The next block is Sunset Square. There is only one mission for you - to eliminate all the Steam Knights who are still killing, trying to attack us, and cover ordinary people!"

Although Dusander said "covering ordinary people", he had reached this position and still could not hear the crowd running away. He had already made some judgment in his mind.

The massacre in Sunset Square is likely to be over.

Dusander was very conflicted and told him rationally that if the church's steam knights were still in the square, the attack might be the best now.

But he also prayed that the massacre would end quickly - it would be that these idiots did not fill the Steam Knights with high pressure before launching. In this way, there would not be too many dead people, and there would be a group of steam knights who could not move to shoot tanks in the square.

Grilled

"Prepare for the battle!" As Dusander's random thoughts, everyone was getting closer and closer to Sunset Square. The old accountant issued a loud battle order, "Everyone has it, load it, attack!!"

Androni was running with all her might on Duke Saar Avenue.

It was a very difficult thing for her to run after being five months pregnant. What made this even more difficult was the shoes on her feet.

The pursuers behind were so fast that Androni couldn't even kick off the shoes on her other foot first.

Androni's guard was behind her. Seeing that Androni couldn't run fast, she could only grit her teeth and say "offended", and then carried Androni on her body and ran forward.

Androni followed the advice of the escort and did not go to the Sunset Square to attend the Grand Mass. She and several colleagues of the Marquis Party prepared to participate in the Grand Mass in the square at the gate of the House of Commons of Newar. In order to ensure safety, the escorts jointly formulated security plans.

The entire House of Commons Square was martial law, and several noble MPs were arranged to attend the Mass at the farthest distance from the church. Other people were not allowed to enter the square at all.

Although such a move was a bit too much, with Androni's reputation, the poor still cooperated with such security measures. Two priests protested to Androni's escort, which generally means "We held the Grand Mass to make everyone pray together, not to provide a show stage for the nobles."

Such protest was pushed back by the escort. In order to strengthen protection of Androni, he even arranged two steam carriages for Androni behind the management station.

According to the escort's vision, steam carriages are mature vehicles with a history of hundreds of years. Although the speed is not as fast as the gas car designed by Dusand, it is better than stability and durability.

The result was caught off guard that the two steam carriages used as escape tools were directly blown into pieces in the first explosion. The fragments of the blown steam carriage killed more than a dozen guards who served as support.

After the explosion, the escort did not immediately knock Androni down like other noble guards. The escort who had dealt with the Allies on the colonial star knew very well that infantry would inevitably follow after the fire attack, and now is not a good time to lie down.

He dragged Androni, who was stunned by the bombing, to evacuate to the side. According to the design of the chief guard, they should have entered the House of Commons immediately to strengthen the garrison, but after just two steps, he was frightened to find that the church gate, about 500 yors from the square, was hit into pieces that burst out violently. From the church gate, at least twenty-five murderous steam knights rushed out.

After giving the order to cut off the rear, the escort dragged Androni and began to run wildly. Their destination was the second evacuation point, the safe house on the west side of Sunset Square.

There are tunnels in the safe house that allow Androni to quickly evacuate to Ica headquarters. There are tunnels in the House of Commons, but the Chief of the Guards dare not take risks. If these more than 20 Steam Knights rushed directly to the House of Commons, this distance and the escorts' breaking back are not enough to stop the other party.

The chief guard did not hesitate to treat half of his colleagues and other noble members, together with their guards, as smoke bombs that attract fire and cover Androni's whereabouts.

This strategy was very effective. At least when he and more than a dozen other personal guards rushed into a house on Queen Street with Androni, there was no sign of the Steam Knight behind him.

From the House of Commons to the "far" safe house on the west side of Sunset Square, this distance is one and a half miles away. There are two intersections in the middle, and a large open area without any cover - the Sunset Square itself.

The chief of the escort originally planned to send people to inform the Privy Council and Aika, and asked them to send forces to kill these rebellious church steam knights immediately.

After notifying the official forces, he could intercept a steam carriage from the road and then send Androni to a safe house.

But Androni, who came to his senses, stopped his actions.

"The Privy Council is no longer reliable." Androni, who was pale and stopped the command of the guard, said, "Those people are not rebellious church priests, they started the massacre at Orin's order."

After hearing Androni's background talk about it, the entire guard team almost fell apart.

Most of the guards who served as Androni were guards stationed in Nusar all year round. They had families, wives and children here. When they learned that this grand mass might be a massacre carried out by the church under the orders of the royal family, the guards almost abandoned their duties on the spot and went back to confirm that their families were safe.

Fortunately, the chief guards had a high prestige, and these guards quickly understood a fact that if their family had encountered an accident, then rushing back now would be of no use. If their family was still safe, then they were chased by more than 20 steam knights and they were likely to lead the enemy to their families. This would harm them.

"I ask you to obey orders, which is the most likely way to protect your family." The chief guard said in a deep voice. "The Baroness is important and she is the enemy's priority target. As long as the wife is still safe, the rebels will continue to send forces to search and try to kill her. In comparison, your family will be more likely to live safely."

The Chief of Guard's statement was quickly approved by all Guards. After calming down a little, they also realized that the power they could exert was very limited now - if they wanted to protect their families, the best way was to protect the Baroness.

Androni was resisted by the guard's shoulders. She tried to support the guard's shoulders with both hands, trying to keep her belly away from the shoulders that were constantly hitting.

The Steam Knight behind him was getting closer and closer, and the opponent's body had obvious problems, and his movements were much slower than before. However, the distance between the two sides was still approaching quickly, and Androni could almost see the eyeballs in the thin slits under the armor of the opponent's eye.

The escort obviously heard the huge movement of the Steam Knight. He gritted his teeth and pulled off the shoes from Androni's other foot.

"Run!" He threw Androni out, and after watching her feet landing on the ground, he turned his head and turned to the white steam knight.

A two-pound offensive grenade was found from his pocket, and the escort smiled at the Steam Knight.

"I'm here to take you on the way!"

Androni, who was running towards Sunset Square, heard a violent explosion coming from behind. She gritted her teeth and let tears slide down her face, but her running pace showed no sign of slowness.

In front of me is the safe house!
