I picked up the dragon girl at the beginning and I used artillery fire to liberate the other world

The autumn rain brings a chill. Feeling the drizzle hitting his body, William couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

At this time, he had been promoted to the commander of the 3rd Tank Regiment of the 4th Armored Division in the Central Theater.

Sitting on the front armored plate of the tank, William took a deep puff of the cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke he exhaled slowly rose up and drifted across the sky.

Looking down from the sky, more than 2,000 tanks were rumbling southward like an unstoppable torrent.

The 3rd Armored Division was the vanguard of the battle, and its main task was to open up a channel to provide conditions for the main force and artillery positions in the rear.

The tanks rushed into the muddy road of the dark forest like tigers and drove into the big canyon in a mighty manner.

And a month ago, the army of the Asura Empire also crossed this grand canyon. History seemed to be repeating itself, but the difference was that the offensive and defensive momentum was completely changed.

The Black Fortress at this time was no longer as lively as it used to be. Ever since Etgaye's defeat, the morale had been declining day by day. After all, everyone had witnessed that shocking bombing.

Just like a natural disaster, even their faith and the extremely powerful king could not guarantee their safety.

There are not many soldiers in this fortress now, only a mere 100,000. The main force of the army has retreated to the vicinity of the royal city. In other words, even the top leaders believe that this fortress can no longer be defended.

"My Lord Earl, isn't this a bad idea?" In the castle at the center of the Black Fortress, the humble official looked at the pot-bellied Earl of Vals sitting on the high seat with a complicated expression.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. The lives of those untouchables are worthless. Each of them will be given an iron sword and sent to the city walls. It is their honor to sacrifice for the empire.

By the way, don’t send them the iron swords made of fine steel, just give them the broken ones.”

After Vals finished speaking, he tilted his head back, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and patted his stomach with a satisfied look on his face.

"I'm so unlucky that I'm left in such a barren place, and now a group of blind guys are coming to my door to beat me up." His fat, wrinkled face became angry again, and he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground with a bang.

Outside, the gate of the entire fortress had already been completely blocked. Inside the fortress, everyone, regardless of gender or age, was driven to the square by soldiers holding sharp iron swords.

There was a huge crowd of people, crowded together. Under their torn clothes were thin bodies, and everyone's face was filled with panic and anxiety.

"Everyone, come to me to receive your weapons. It's time to prove your worth to the empire." A brown-haired sergeant stood on a high platform in the square and spoke righteously.

“Some people want to occupy our homes, burn, kill, and plunder this land, and enslave us.

No one can stand aside, and we must rely on our own hands to defend the home we love."

No matter how passionately the sergeant shouted, the crowd was dead silent. Their faces were pale and they stared blankly at the iron swords that had piled up like a small hill not far away.

"Sir, my child is only fourteen, can you not let him go?"

A rough man knelt on the ground and shouted with all his courage. Everyone shuddered slightly, as if they had never thought that someone would dare to make demands to these "adults".

The sergeant did not reply, as if he had not heard him. He pointed at the iron swords and said, "Now line up and come over to receive your weapons one by one."

When everyone took action, several soldiers suddenly grabbed the rough guy who was shouting and dragged him away to somewhere unknown.

The people who were queuing looked back and saw this scene, their eyes trembled slightly and they felt sad.

In the luxurious castle, Vals leisurely enjoyed the massage and service of the maid, but he had no idea that his good days were about to end.

The 3rd Armored Division was advancing at high speed. All its units were equipped with heavy tanks, without even a single armored vehicle.

They quickly crossed the Grand Canyon and entered the territory of the Asura Empire.

After leaving the canyon, we walked along a slightly muddy road through a forest, and then there was a smooth road in front of us.

The steel tracks rolled over every inch of land and rushed straight towards the black fortress ahead, without any thought of hiding and without any fear of being discovered by the enemy.

A team of soldiers were patrolling. They were carrying swords and chatting happily. Not to mention being alert, they all looked like they were just taking a walk.

But suddenly, ripples began to appear in the puddles after the rain, and slowly the ripples became more and more obvious and intense, until finally the whole earth began to shake.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance team were suddenly awakened, and looked around while holding their swords. One of them happened to be looking towards the north, his eyes widened instantly, and he was stunned.

At this time, the rest of the soldiers also shook their heads to look over, and each of them was stunned.

They even doubted their own eyes at one point. What were these things coming towards them?

They look like big boxes, or like strange cars, and there are too many of them, right?

Fear filled their whole bodies. Although they didn't know what these things were, their intuition told them that these things must be enemies.

Because they came from the direction of the northern canyon.

The seven people looked at each other and shouted together: "Run!!"

This place is only four kilometers away from the fortress. As long as they enter the city and are blocked by the city walls, they will be safe.

At the same time as the few people discovered the armored division, the soldiers of the armored division had already discovered them through the telescope.

However, there were only a few people, and not even a soldier in the tank was willing to fire a shot. They just followed behind them and headed straight towards the black wall in front.

Although the seven members of the reconnaissance team ran desperately, the sea of ​​tanks behind them was still getting closer and closer to them.

When they were only 500 meters away from the city wall, a tank had already driven past them. The rumbling sound of the machine struck their hearts directly. Only then did they realize how big this thing was.

The soldiers on the city wall also discovered the tank cluster, but just like this reconnaissance team, no one knew what it was.

They just stood on the city wall and looked down quietly. These things couldn't fly anyway, so they naturally couldn't do anything to them.

As the gateway to the north, the wall of the Black Fortress is the strongest wall in the entire Asura Empire. The materials used are all extremely solid obsidian. No one can break this wall unless those things flying in the sky cast a few forbidden-level explosive magic.

The reconnaissance team was exhausted. They were breathing heavily, slowing down their pace and looking at the railway carriages passing by them, and they felt relieved.

These things seemed to be blind, and they had no idea about them at all. But soon, a scream reached the ears of several people.

Following the sound, he looked and was horrified to find a pool of blood and mud where a railway carriage had just passed.
