Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Charge into battle

Drex is definitely a great noble in the Kingdom of Luman. The entire kingdom has no more than eight Ranger-type Knight Titans.

And his family has one, driven by the Earl himself, so you can imagine his status.

So, he doesn’t want to risk his life.

As an Earl of the Kingdom of Luman, the Drex family has accumulated wealth for twenty years and finally bought a Ranger-class Knight Titan six years ago. So far, the family’s path to success has been laid out.

Although they have incurred a lot of debt for this, and the purchase of the Knight Titan has received a great deal of support from His Majesty the King, so they have to fight for the King firmly.

But in fact, he is still not willing to risk his life.

What is there to risk?

As long as the Ranger Titan he is driving exists, the status of the Earl of the Drex family is extremely stable, and there is even a chance to fight for a higher title, more land, and more vassals in the future.

Pay off the debt as soon as possible and expand the territory…

But if this Knight Titan is destroyed, everything will be over.

Although, he couldn’t refuse the king’s call, and he did believe in the beautiful pie King Luman drew.

They will fully support one of the factions in the struggle of the interstellar business association of the Gu family, and as long as they succeed, they will get huge benefits.

However, these benefits are mainly for His Majesty the King.

King Luman will be able to take this opportunity to gain a lot of benefits, and even lead the country to become the strongest country on the Black Arrow Star. He may even have the opportunity to abolish the King’s Parliament system, and forever control the position of the Governor of the Black Arrow Star in his own hands, and then become the king of the whole world.

And what about him? As a loyal follower of King Luman, he should also get his share of benefits. Two more Ranger Knights, occupy a larger territory, and have more people… but that’s all.

It would be great if there was a chance to get more; but first, he had to keep what he had now.

To put it bluntly, even if His Majesty the King succeeded in the end, and his Drex Knight Titan was damaged in the battle, how much could His Majesty the King think of their family’s contribution?

Can he think of a Ranger Mech?

Then it all depends on the conscience of His Majesty the King.

Based on his understanding of His Majesty the King, it is unrealistic to expect him to be “kind and nostalgic”.

At that time, I am afraid that His Majesty the King’s attitude will be: I have the money to rebuild your family, so why not use this money to win over other families that still have strength.

What will the Drex family do at that time? Can’t they just swallow their anger?

Drex didn’t want to end up like that, this is what he thought; and the driver of another Ranger Knight who participated in this battle with him seemed to have the same idea.

The two of them tacitly made the same choice when they encountered difficulties.

Originally, they planned to withdraw, reload the rocket ammunition, and then use the range advantage to bombard from a distance. As

long as the intensity of the military strike is maintained, it will be considered a job, anyway, the money for the rocket shells is reimbursed by His Majesty the King.

Charge into battle?

Let’s talk about it after the bombing is almost over.

However, the communication from His Majesty the King arrived.

The two were scolded and given a death order to intercept the army that was retreating from the capital.

According to His Majesty, there were “important people” in it, which was related to the success or failure of their operation. They were asked to intercept this army “at all costs”.

Then, there was a sinister sentence:

“This is the time for you to show your loyalty to the kingdom. If you fail, I swear in the name of Luman and the king that I will make you pay the price!”

After this, what else can be said?

Drex didn’t believe in King Luman’s compensation and rewards afterwards, but the punishment he said was likely to be realized.

In desperation, despite how unhappy and resentful he was, he had to act together with another Knight Titan controller.

The two of them led the army and operated with rare efficiency, and successfully found the traces of the Angry Owl Star army that was evacuating to the suburban town and intercepted it.

This should not be a difficult battle.

In general, they had a very high opinion of the army of the so-called “alliance”. The combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers was far superior to that of the conscripted soldiers of the Kingdom of Luman; hundreds of armored vehicles and eighteen lion tanks were all very powerful.

But he also believed that under their two Knight Titans, those tanks and armored vehicles were all lambs to be slaughtered.

This was not an attack on the enemy’s well-prepared strongholds, and there would not be hundreds of artillery pieces waiting in full battle array. Their colleagues had only tanks and armored vehicles to face. In the encounter in the wild environment, the threat faced by the Knight Titan was much smaller.

Sitting in the cockpit of the Ranger Knight, Drex fired the rocket launcher skillfully.

The empty magazines had not been fully refilled in time, but he and his colleague still had thirteen rocket launchers in total, which were fired in a very accurate manner, causing considerable casualties.

Several troop transport trucks and armored vehicles were destroyed. In this wave, the alliance had paid a heavy price.

Unfortunately, two rockets aimed at the tanks were deflected and failed to take down the Lion.

But then, they set their sights on those big guys. The high-speed howitzers and laser cannons in their hands began to fire rapidly.

Under their attack, three Lions, the spearheads of the charge, were destroyed in just a few minutes.

The Knight Titans fired while taking huge steps, and they crushed the Alliance army fiercely and mightily.

On the sides of the two Knight Titans, more than 80 Sentinel mechas and more than 20,000 conscripts were charging together.

But the Alliance army, which had already suffered a lot of casualties, had no intention of retreating.

Their morale seemed not to have been hit too hard, and they just headed straight and charged against them.

The “Lions” came in a charging formation and fired at them fiercely.

Heavy bomb machine guns, reflector laser secondary guns, magnetic rail guns… If we really talk about firepower, the Lions are also not weak.

At least, destroying the sentinel mechas next to the Knight Titan shouldn’t be a problem.
