A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 486

Chapter 486: Chapter 363: End of a Chapter_1 Chapter 486: Chapter 363: End of a Chapter_1 “Ha….ha…….”

Prince Barton spurred his horse forward, his hands tightly gripping the reins, his face pale.

What kind of monster was that!

His plan had failed.

In this moment, Prince Barton completely understood this. Though dealing with demons had always been a gamble, he could never have imagined that they intended to revive the former Demon King!

Now that the Demon King had been resurrected, he could be considered a sinner of all humanity on this continent. Forget about being king of Herman, if Lisas revealed this, he had nothing awaiting him but death.

But he did not want to die! He was not ready to die! He could not die yet!

Staring forward, Prince Barton trembled all over. Lisas's conquest had failed, and he could no longer return to Herman. But that didn't mean he had nowhere else to go. Yes, as long as he could overtake the Free City Alliance, he would still have a trump card! If he could just seize the Free City Alliance…

“Your Highness?”

Seeing Prince Barton, who should be at the far rear, coming to the front line himself, the responsible Herman officer was quite surprised. Especially seeing the dishevelled state of Barton, it was unexpected.

“How are you here?”

“You don't have to worry about that.”

Prince Barton walked into the military tent, his face grim.

“How's the conquest of the Free City Alliance going?”

“This… We are currently holding out…”

“Holding out? Don't they only have a thousand soldiers? What are you holding out for? Gather all the troops and completely defeat them! I'll lead the team personally! Quickly!”

“Ah? Now?”

“Yes! What are you waiting for!?”

“Yes…….”

Truth be told, for the frontline commander, the situation was already bizarre enough with the commanding general coming to the front lines from the rear. And now he was in a rush to go into battle. But unfortunately, the other party was the commander and his order must be executed.

“Then I will immediately order preparations for logistics…”

“No need for logistics, the whole army will set off! Just rely on local supplies for replenishment!”

“Yes…”

Soon, under the loud military bugle, Herman's army assembled once again and charged towards the Free City of Rajel.

When Herman's army arrived on the plain in front of Rajel City, the rebel army of Rajel was ready for them. However, when they saw the rebel army of the Free City Alliance, the soldiers of Herman were taken aback.

“What is… that?”

“It's just like a steel behemoth…..!”

No wonder Herman's soldiers were trembling and panicking, because at this moment, in front of the rebel army of the Free City, stood a giant terrifying monster made of steel. For Herman's soldiers, they had never seen such a strange thing before, but even if they didn't know what it was, looking at its frightening appearance, they knew it wasn't anything ordinary.

“Hehehe…”

Seeing the shaking of the Herman soldiers on the other side, Maria, seated inside, raised her head smugly.

“You're scared now, aren't you? This is the perfect combination of offense and defence, the moveable steel fortress — Tulip No. 3!”

As she spoke, Maria gave the command.

“Attack! Let them taste the power of Tulip No. 3!”

With a single order from Maria, the steel tank in front of her roared into motion, charging directly towards the Herman army.

“Lord, what should we do?!”

Facing the scene before them, the soldiers of Herman were completely stunned.

“How are we supposed to deal with it? It sounds like a pretty heavy thing…..”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Seeing this, Barton drew his longsword and roared loudly interrupting his subordinate.

“That must be made of paper! How could something so heavy move! Follow me, let the remnants of the Free City Alliance see the power of the Herman soldiers! Forward advance!”

“Ooooooooo!!”

Hearing Barton's words, the Herman soldiers raised their weapons and rushed forward.

However, just as Prince Barton led his soldiers to charge forward, he suddenly saw a flash of light on the steel monster, followed by a deafening explosion, and the next moment he saw the soldiers on his left side violently explode. Several soldiers screamed as they were thrown into the sky, then fell straight to the ground.

“Lo-, Lord!”

“Charge, charge! There's only one monster on the enemy's side, if we can rush over there we can eliminate it!! Attack from the sides, keep it occupied!”

Under Barton's scolding, the Herman soldiers quickly steadied their line and started to charge forward again.

“The soldiers of Helman are indeed praiseworthy.”

Maria couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene. The Helman Kingdom was located in the North, where the environment was brutal. Hence, the soldiers were brave and good at fighting. She had heard of their reputation, but seeing them standing their ground even in the face of her secret weapon was surprising.

“However, thanks to the Judge, this Tulip No. 3, isn't easy to destroy! Charge forward! Fire at will!”

“Boom!”

Following Maria's command, the red tank in front of her fired again, striking the enemy's position. At the same time, its engine roared, and it charged towards the Helman Army.

“Charge! Charge!”

Prince Barton led his soldiers forward at this moment. He didn't expect the enemy to have such a powerful weapon, but luckily, it appeared there was only one. As long as they can cross its defensive line, with the number of Helman Army soldiers, annihilating the Free City Alliance's resistance would not be an issue. After that, they could even capture this Steel Monster for their own use!

Once they reached the Steel Monster, they could suppress it!

Barton thought so. However, the reality was different.

Just as the Helman soldiers broke through the bombardment and approached this Steel Monster, all of a sudden, there was a series of explosions from the front and both sides of the Steel Monster. A storm of bullets swept across the battlefield. They formed an almost impenetrable firepower network. The armors of the Helman soldiers could not withstand this attack. Their bodies were directly pierced by the bullets and turned into a pile of broken corpses. Meanwhile, this Steel Monster continued to move forward, ruthlessly crushing everything in its path.

“It's painful! Save me, our left wing has collapsed!”

“How… how is this possible?”

Seeing the Steel Monster mercilessly spreading death all over the battlefield, Prince Barton was stunned. He could not believe his eyes. He had gathered a total of eight thousand Helman Soldiers, originally thinking that it would be easy to take down the enemy, however, it turns out that they were destroyed by a Steel Monster?

Prince Barton could not understand. In fact, the Punisher model of the Riemann-Rust Tank, which Maria designed and modified through Duanmu Huai's blueprint, is the most powerful anti-infantry tank of the Human Empire, and one of the best anti-infantry weapons in the Milky Way. Its Punisher Gatling with extremely high fire rate and power can easily shred heavily armored infantry.

It's important to remember that the Riemann-Rust Punisher was primarily used against races like the Green Orcs and the Tyron Swarm who often deployed the human wave tactics. Compared to the Green Orcs and the Insect Race, Helman soldiers are fewer in number and less powerful.

This is what happens when you use a cannon to kill a mosquito – one shot destroys the swarm.

“My lord, we must retreat. Continuing like this will just lead to more needless deaths!”

By this point, the morale of the Helman Army had utterly collapsed. Soldiers were throwing away their armor and running away. Meanwhile, the Union Army of the Free City Alliance launched an attack, beginning to chase the fleeing Helman soldiers.

“I… I…”

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Prince Barton turned around in a daze. However, before he could react, a brilliant light appeared at the corner of his eye.

The next moment, a bomb flew in and directly tore Prince Barton's strong body in half at the waist. Like a rainstorm, the bullets followed, instantly turning Prince Barton's head and limbs into a pile of bloody debris.

“Ah… Ahhh!”

Seeing Prince Barton's death, the nearby soldiers finally couldn't stand it anymore. They screamed, turned around and ran away, completely abandoning the fight.

And so, Helman's attack on Lisas came to an end.

“Phew…”

By the time Duanmu Huai returned to Duel City, the issue between Lisas and Helman had been more or less resolved.

Prince Barton was dead. Predictably, the Helman Kingdom pushed all the blame onto this idiot, claiming he had privately colluded with Demons and it was his idea, having nothing to do with them. This made absolute sense, as, during Jill's resurrection, the high-ranking officials of the Hani Sect and Church of AL had sensed the resurrection of the Demon King. After Leia announced the news, there was no other way left for Helman to save face except to take responsibility for this.

This is about whether or not Helman wished to admit that they wanted to resurrect the Demon King to destroy the world?

That would be insane.

After that, Duanmu Huai returned to Duel City. Of course, not only did he return, but also Kendou Kanami and Maria. Especially the latter, in fact, Maria did not only come by herself, but also brought her helpers, and her dear friend Masou Shizuka.

According to Masou Shizuka, she wouldn't let Maria go to such a suspicious and dangerous place by herself. Since Maria wished to come along, Duanmu Huai didn't stop them.

“Is this the Tribunal?”

Upon arriving at Venus Island and observing the surroundings, Masou Shizuka frowned, the doubt in her eyes looking at Duanmu Huai was quite obvious. Well, it makes sense for her to react like that, after all… this place seemed more like a vacation spot than an organization's headquarters.

In fact, it was indeed a vacation spot.

“Of course not, this is just the entrance to the Tribunal.”

As Duanmu Huai said this, he snapped his fingers, causing a gate of light to appear.

“Alright, let's go.”

After saying this, Duanmu Huai, with Ogis and Yue Huasha, turned and walked into the light gate. Upon seeing this, Maria exchanged a glance with Masou Shizuka.

“What do you think, Maria?”

“We've come this far, what else can I do, go back?”

Responding to her friend's inquiry, Maria shook her head.

“Besides, the Judge said that there are more powerful machines in the Tribunal. I want to see what these are!”

“Sigh…”
Seeing her friend acting like this, Masou Shizuka let out a sigh of helplessness.

“Looks like I have no choice but to go along with you.”
