Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Tanks roared and sped across the battlefield, their armor flashing a cold light in the sun, and their heavy tracks seemed to tear through the earth as they advanced towards the besieged city walls.

Antipas noticed these steel monsters at the first moment. Although Antipas didn't know what they were specifically, he knew that they were creations of the North when he saw the long gun barrels extending from the tanks.

"Don't let those iron lumps come over here, prepare the demon descendants and long-range bloodline magic!"

This was the first time that Antipas had personally fought against the creatures of the North. Antipas couldn't tell whether he was nervous or excited.

"Oh, right, bring that deserter Daniel over here. He's most familiar with the North. Let him be my advisor!"

After being strengthened by the strange black fog, the offspring of the demon god is more powerful than before, and can move more freely outside the main brain. As long as they can defeat that pile of iron lumps, they can break the demons' fear of the Northern Army.

Although I don't know when I became a demon and need to break the fear of facing humans.

"Target found, two o'clock direction, large enemy unit, prepare to attack!"

"Received. Main gun target adjusted. Trajectory corrected. Ready to fire at any time!"

The tank crews were composed of veterans who had retired from the battlefield of the Golden Ear Plains, and even included members of the resistance army who had been recruited.

Sam did not choose to return to the North to retire and inherit his father's pharmacy, but chose to bring his talent to the tank crew. This was much more exciting than all the muskets Sam had ever come into contact with. When they met for the first time, Sam felt that no man could refuse this war machine called a tank.

I don't know why it's called a tank, but the Governor must have a reason for calling it that...

So Sam's mood now is more like eagerness to try than fear. How cool would it be to use such a war machine to hit the demons?

"Fire!"

Following the commander's order, flames spurted out of the gun barrel, and a shell directly hit the closest demon offspring and exploded. However, the exploded shell did not seem to cause any damage to the demon offspring. Instead, it seemed to anger the other party, making the demon offspring move even more frantically.

......

Judith, who was standing on the top of the city wall, was very excited. Judith, who had been investigating the North, could tell at a glance that the strange and cold mechanical creation was a product of the North. So when she saw the tanks coming, she shouted, "Great! It's the North's army. We are saved!"

Judith's words inspired everyone, including Cliff. Cliff seemed to have survived a disaster. He lost all his strength in an instant and fell directly to the ground. He did not show any sign of resisting as before. Even everyone on the top of the city wall hugged each other excitedly. Some civilians who came up to help were so excited when they heard that they were saved that they threw their hats to each other.

Especially when the tank opened fire and the artillery hit the huge monster head-on.

But when they saw that the artillery seemed to have no damage and the monster was even more excited, everyone fell into a brief silence again, and even Judith was stunned for a moment.

On the demon side, Antipas, who had been very nervous at first, sneered after seeing the cannon fire. It seemed that these steel monsters from the North were only good-looking but useless, or that the descendants of the demon god were no longer afraid of cannon fire after being strengthened by the black fog.

But the old friend who had just been pulled to Antipa's side and was kneeling on the ground, the deserter Daniel, looked at the glittering sunlight shining around the demon son who was hit by the tank artillery in the distance and said, "It's over, it's all over. Now this thing in the North can even be launched on the move."

Just as Antipas frowned, wondering what Daniel was saying, the shell of the demon's offspring who was hit by the artillery began to dissolve. He fell to the ground and began to struggle constantly, his hooves waving wildly, and several big mouths emitting creepy wails at the same time.

Looking closely, I found that the demon's offspring was surrounded by fine water mist.

As for the other tank with a different paint job, the commander said after observing: "Confirmed that the holy water bomb is effective, suppression successful, ready for the explosive bomb!"

As the gun barrel spewed out tongues of fire, the explosive bomb directly hit the suppressed demon offspring with huge impact force, and brilliant fireworks of black and fire bloomed directly from the demon offspring's body.

The people standing on the top of the city wall who had been silent just now became even more silent now. After the steel monsters in the north confirmed that this method was effective, the steel monsters behind them began to follow suit. They first used those strange shells that produced water mist after hitting the ground to wash the ground, and then used those terrifying explosive artillery to bombard indiscriminately.

All the shells fell like rhythmic raindrops, and those horrible demon monsters were suppressed to the point that they couldn't even lift their heads—if they had heads.

The people on the city wall could no longer tell which side was the monster. The monsters under the city wall that were wailing at the same time with several big mouths now looked more like victims. However, the more these monsters shouted, the more excited the steel monsters on the other side became, and they kept approaching and firing.

It was obvious that the artillery accuracy of these steel monsters in the North was not very good. Several shells even landed on the city wall, scaring the people on the city wall to retreat one after another. However, after seeing the miserable state of the monsters under the city wall, warm cheers broke out again on the city wall.

The people who seemed to be stuck just now hugged each other and cried again.

Cliff, who was unable to move, was dragged down from the city wall by the knights.

Good news: The North is too strong.

The bad news: The North is too strong.

This has completely overturned Cliff's imagination of war. Cliff suddenly feels that it might not be a bad thing to honestly follow the prophecy his father had seen.

In the chaos, the chosen descendants of the demon gods began to fight back, and the demons with long-range bloodline magic were finally organized and began to desperately cast magic at the tank troops. Even the artillery that Antipas had found from somewhere was pushed out to fight back.

Two tanks were unable to move forward because their tracks were damaged due to being too aggressive. This gave Antipas hope. Although those tanks had a lot of magic paint on them, it seemed that those magic paints were more to help the tanks resist long-range attacks. Once the opponent was too aggressive, or if they had the means to get close to those tanks, they might be able to find a way to win.

Antipas' intuition was very sharp. He even noticed that the tanks seemed to be incomplete and the turning of the gun barrels was not flexible. They were more like armored carriages equipped with long-range artillery and able to move on their own. Although this was already terrifying, it also showed that the opponent was not invincible.

Can win!Antipas had an illusion in his heart.

"Retreat! Retreat first!"

But now we need to step back for now and slowly think of a solution.

Seeing those waves of monsters begin to retreat, and an army waving the flag of the North Wind Bear slowly appearing in the distance, Cliff shouted excitedly: "Open the door, open the door! I want to personally welcome the Governor of the North!"
