Thousands of sparks

Chapter 132 Running
With three tanks and more than 80 armed security guards equipped with steel core bullets, Dusande followed these young people out of the gate of the industrial area.

Along the way, Dusand continued to direct and drive ordinary people on the street, telling them to "leave the street immediately and go back indoors".After all, the main purpose of those crazy church priests is to kill people, and letting ordinary people go home will somewhat make their massacre less "smooth".Thus buying some time in the lives of others.

With only three tanks and [-] ordinary infantry, it is absolutely impossible to kill all the church steam knights who are massacring in Upper Albin.This is impossible and unrealistic.

In addition to leading the team to thwart the church's steam knight attack, Dusande also gave up his car to an armed security guard who could drive, and wrote a personal letter.

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

[Please take all the troops and return to Upper Albin immediately.All white-painted steam knights or other targets that fire on civilians are enemies, and destroy them while protecting yourself as much as possible. 】

Upper Albyn is at the heart of all of Newsale.All important departments of the entire colonial planet are concentrated in this city.If you want to concentrate all your power, you must first control several key departments of Upper Albin.

The interplanetary landing pad, the Royal Post Office and the head office of the Royal Bank of Newsail are the three most important key positions.Its importance decreases in descending order.

The interstellar landing field is a very important strategic channel. Whether it is to quickly send orders or deliver supplies to other regions, or in turn prevent the empire from continuing to reinforce the church to destroy it, the new Saal interstellar landing field must be in hand immediately. key strategic goals.

The Royal Post Office controls the secret service agencies and information transmission channels in the entire Newisal, and their shuttle ship is currently the only one that can take off and land safely in the entire Newisal, and transmit messages to other cities in Newisal, as well as other colonial planets within the empire. tool.

In contrast, RBC's head office in Newsail is the least important institution.This is the central bank of Newsail, which has the right to mint its own coins.And it is also responsible for monitoring other financial institutions in Newsale, and maintaining the stability of Newsale financial institutions by purchasing other bank bonds and releasing low-interest loans.

Listing Royal Bank as the last strategic target to pay attention to is also because of its special nature.Under the current situation of Newsale, no matter how hard Royal Bank tries, there will always be twists and turns in the market.Compared with "repelling the white knights of the church" and "stopping the massacre quickly", Dusande can still think of the Royal Bank, which is considered his extraordinary performance.

"Take the rescue of ordinary people as the priority, and send the injured to the Charity Hospital..." Dusande said here, and after a sudden pause, he changed his words, "Send it to the Colonial Hall General Hospital."

Almost all the charitable hospitals in Upper Albyn are organizations established by the church.Sending the civilians there is no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Dusande rushed towards Sunset Square with a tank platoon and two infantry platoons equipped with only light weapons. As soon as he went out, he loaded up with a group of armed men who were also armed and marching towards Sunset Square.

This group was the police from Oberalbin.

"Stop!" After seeing the heavily armed security guards, the sheriff at the head had a serious look on his face, and then he was overjoyed.He stopped his team, and then quickly rushed to the tank and said loudly, "I want to recruit you, now follow me to Sunset Square!"

"My lord, this is the sheriff who always comes to trouble us." The old accountant whispered to Dusande. Bribes are useless, and the one who can't be scared away by your name. "

The sheriff shouted to the armed security guards, "There are alliance infiltration forces in Sunset Square, and they are massacring our compatriots! Now, I order you to follow my command immediately and go to Sunset Square to stop the enemy!"

Dusand jumped from the tank.He looked at the revolver in the sheriff's hand and the shotguns in the hands of the policemen, and asked, "Are you going to use this weapon to fight those steam knights?"

"This is already our best weapon." The sheriff replied, he looked at Du Sande's attire, and then said, "You don't follow, we are going to fight, not to play."

Dusande wore casual clothes today, and the clothes were a little more refined than those of children of the same age who were still in school, that's all.Therefore, the sheriff took Dusande as a child who got mixed up in the team.

"How many times have I told you, you have to let the child who is not old enough go to school!" The sheriff yelled at the old accountant. Armed security guards, I have to punish you!"

He's a bit of a no-brainer, but he's not exactly a bad guy.This was Dusand's first impression of the sheriff.

A kid who apparently leads dozens of people and three tanks, do you think he played truant to hang out?
But seeing that this person is still serious about implementing the education promotion plan, Du Sande raised the evaluation of "this is an idiot" to "this person is a little brainless".

"Second captain!" Du Sande looked at the mindless detective, and then called out loudly.

A young man in his 20s ran over. He stood in front of Dusand and stood at attention. He knocked his heels and shouted loudly, "Reporting to you, Mr. Lord!"

"Take this detective, and his men, to get equipment from the warehouse - get them rifles and steel core bullets!" Dusande gave the order, "Run and start, after getting the equipment, run directly Go to Sunset Plaza!"

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

After all, the technological level of the empire was not enough to support Dusand to make an external and internal communicator for the tank. He could only make two brass tubes wrapped in rubber and penetrate the armor as communication devices.One pipe leads directly to the cockpit under the commander's cabin, and the other leads directly to the driver's cab.

This kind of communication equipment... the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory.Usually, half of the body of the commander and driver is exposed outside, at least they can communicate with the infantry relatively normally.

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

The commander can also use a heavy machine gun with tracer bullets to indicate the target to the tank, or command his teammates by shouting and stomping.But commands from the outside world are basically inaudible.

"If you start fighting, you decide your own goals." Although he is not sure whether the team can perform at the level of training, Du Sande still decided to give them all the trust. A car captain shouted, "Turn left on the next block and you will find Sunset Plaza. You have only one mission - eliminate all the steam knights who are still killing people and trying to attack us, and cover ordinary people!"

Although Du Sande said to "cover the common people", he had already reached this position, but he still couldn't hear the sound of the crowd running away.He already had some judgments in his mind.

The massacre on Sunset Plaza may well be over.

Du Sande was very conflicted, and rationally told him that if the steam knights of the church were still in the square, the effect of launching an attack now might be the best.

But he also prayed that the carnage would be over soon--if only those idiots hadn't filled the steam knight with high-pressure steam before launching it.In this way, the number of dead people will not be too many, and there will still be a group of immobile steam knights in the square to target the tanks.

"Get ready to fight!" Following Dusand's wild thoughts, everyone was getting closer and closer to Sunset Square.The old accountant loudly issued a battle order, "Everyone has it, load it, attack!!"

Androni was running with all her strength on the Avenue of Duke Saar.

It was very difficult for her to run when she was five months pregnant.What made this matter even more difficult were the shoes on her feet.

The speed of the pursuers was so fast that Androni couldn't even kick off the shoe on the other foot first.

Androni's guard was behind her. Seeing that Androni couldn't run fast, she could only gritted her teeth and said "I'm offended", and then carried Androni on her body and moved forward. run wildly.

Androni followed the advice of the chief guard and did not go to Sunset Square to attend the high mass.Together with several colleagues from the Marquis Party, she was preparing to participate in the high mass in the square in front of the House of Commons in Newsail.In order to ensure safety, the guards worked out a security plan together.

The entire House of Commons square was under martial law, and several noble members were arranged to attend the mass at the farthest location from the church.Other people are not allowed to enter the square at all.

Although such a move is a bit excessive, but with Androni's reputation, the poor are still very cooperative with such security measures.On the contrary, two priests protested to Androni's chief guard, which basically meant, "We held the high mass to let everyone pray together, not to provide a stage for the nobles to put on a show."

This kind of protest was pushed back by the head of the guard in an indifferent manner.In order to strengthen the protection of Androni, he even specially arranged two steam carriages behind the management platform for Androni.

According to the chief guard's vision, the steam carriage was a mature means of transportation with a history of hundreds of years. Although it was not as fast as the gas carriage designed by Dusand, it was better in stability and durability.

As a result, the two steam carriages used as escape vehicles were blown to pieces directly in the first explosion.The fragments of the blown-up steam carriage also killed more than a dozen escort guards.

After the explosion, the head of the guard did not immediately throw Androni down and protect her under the body like other noble guards.The captain of the guard who had dealt with the allies on the colonial planet knew very well that after the firepower attack, there would inevitably be infantry assaults to keep up. Now is not a good time to get down on the ground.

He dragged Androni, who was completely stunned by the bombing, to evacuate to the side.Originally, according to the design of the chief guard, they should immediately enter the House of Commons to strengthen their defenses, but just after taking two steps, he was horrified to find that the door of the church about 500 yoles away from the square was smashed into a violent explosion fragments.And from the gate of the church, at least 25 murderous steam knights rushed out.

After giving the order to cut off the rear, the chief guard dragged Androni and began to run wildly.Their destination is the second extraction point - the safe house on the west side of Sunset Plaza.

There is a tunnel in the safe house, which allows Androni to quickly evacuate to the Aika headquarters.In fact, there are such tunnels inside the House of Commons, but the chief guard did not dare to take the risk - if these 20 steam knights rushed directly to the House of Commons, this distance and the guards' rear would not be enough to stop them.

The chief of guards did not hesitate to regard half of his colleagues, as well as other noble councilors, together with their guards, as smoke bombs to attract firepower and obscure Androni's whereabouts.

This strategy was very effective. At least when he and a dozen other personal guards led Androni into a house on Queen Street, there was no sign of the steam knight behind him at all.

It was a full mile and a half from the House of Commons to the "distant" safe house on the west side of Sunset Square.In the middle, you need to pass through two intersections, and a large open area without shelter—that is, the Sunset Plaza itself.

The head of the guard originally planned to send someone to notify the Privy Council and Aika, so that they would immediately dispatch forces to kill these rebellious church steam knights.

After notifying the official force, he can intercept a steam carriage from the road and send Androni to the safe house.

But Androni, who came back to his senses, stopped him.

"The Privy Council is no longer reliable." Androni, with a pale face, stopped the order of the chief guard and said, "Those people are not some rebellious church priests, they started the massacre under the order of Olin."

After listening to Androni's general background, the entire guard team almost fell apart.

Most of Androni's guards are guards stationed in Newsail all the year round.They have families here, wives and children.When they learned that this high mass might be a massacre carried out by the church on the orders of the royal family, the guards almost abandoned their duties on the spot and went back to confirm the safety of their families.

Fortunately, the prestige of the chief guard was high enough, and these guards quickly understood the fact that if their family members had already suffered an accident, it would be useless to rush back now.And if their family members are still safe, they are likely to lead the enemy to their family members after being hunted down by more than 20 steam knights.This will harm them instead.

"I ask you to obey the order. This 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 top priority target. As long as the lady is still safe, the rebels will Keep sending forces to search for and try to kill Madam. In comparison, your family members are more likely to survive safely."

The chief guard's statement quickly got the approval of all the guards. After calming down a little, they also understood that the power they could exert now was very limited-the best way to protect their family was to protect the baroness.

Androni was held on the shoulders of the captain of the guard, and she tried to support the shoulders of the captain of the guard with her hands, trying to keep her stomach away from the constantly bumping shoulders.

The steam knight behind him was getting closer and closer, and there was obviously something wrong with the opponent's body, and his movements were much slower than before.But the distance between the two sides was still rapidly approaching, and Androni could almost see the eyeballs in the thin slits under the opponent's eye armor.

The chief guard obviously also heard the huge movement of the steam knight. He gritted his teeth and tore off the shoe on Androni's other foot.

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

He took out a two-pound offensive grenade from his pocket, and the captain of the guard smiled at the steam knight.

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

Androni, who was running towards Sunset Square, heard a violent explosion behind her.She gritted her teeth tightly and let the tears slide down her face, but her running pace showed no sign of slowing down at all.

Ahead, is the safe house!
