A war nearing its end
The Middle East Soldiers inside the Armored Train stared wide-eyed, overwhelmed by a dizzying sensation, as if they were in a vacuum for a moment, but the next second...
Boom!! Crack! Crack! Sizzle!
Magath gripped his binoculars in shock. In his vision, the black, steel-like Armored Train, which resembled a ferocious beast, was now twisted and deformed section by section like a crisp baguette the moment it collided with the Fusion Paladin Titan).
The Fusion Paladin Titan) stood tall and imposing, like an impregnable Fortress —no, it was more than just towering!
The Paladin Titan raised its head, a deep roar emanating from beneath its visor, its crimson eyes now filled with murderous intent.
Crack! The Paladin Titan suddenly grabbed the front of the Armored Train, his arms so strong that they were deeply embedded in the pure steel front.
"Monster! How could there be such a monster! Fire! Fire!!" The commander in the other Armored Train was horrified and furious at the sight, and frantically ordered his men to open fire.
Bang!! Bang!!... Dozens of heavy Anti-Titan Cannon on the Armored Train roared in unison, unleashing countless deadly shells that hurtled towards the Fusion Heavy Titan (writing "Fusion" feels a bit awkward, so I'll just call it Fusion Heavy Titan from now on, please bear with me (*▽*)♪)
The artillery fire blasted orange flames and billowing black smoke from the Fusion Heavy Titan body.
"Wait! They won't?!" Reiner was utterly shocked and extremely worried about the safety of Bazel and Ivanor, Fusion Heavy Titan, from the back of the Armored Titan's neck.
Reiner knew better than anyone the power of those cannon shots. As the Shield of Marley, even the Armored Titan, as tough as it was, could not withstand such cannon fire.
The artillery fire continued relentlessly. Terrified, the Middle East artillerymen loaded their weapons at an unprecedented speed and opened fire. Within minutes, nearly a hundred shells slammed into the Fusion Heavy Titan, the billowing black smoke even engulfing its Fusion Heavy Titan form. Through the observation port, the Middle East Soldiers nervously watched the billowing smoke. Had that terrifying Titan been destroyed?
Whoosh! A massive, twisted mass of steel burst forth with black smoke—it was the completely deformed engine of Armored Train! The engine of Armored Train, warped by artillery fire!
As steel clashed with steel, a violent explosion occurred, and bright red liquid dripped continuously from the gaps in the Armored Train.
At some point, the Fusion Heavy Titan split apart, the Fortress Titan disappeared, leaving only the Paladin Titan standing proudly in place.
"Hahaha, I thought it would be more fun, but that's all!" Ivanor laughed with a hint of excitement from inside the Paladin Titan's neck.
On the shoulder of the Paladin Titan, Bazel half-squatted on the ground, his chest heaving violently, his eyes bloodshot, and his forehead covered in cold sweat, looking like he was overexerted. In fact, that was indeed the case. The Fusion form of the Paladin Titan and the Fortress Titan mainly consumed the physical strength of the Fortress Titan's host, Bazel alone bore double the consumption.
Just by looking at Bazel's physique, you could tell how much stamina a skinny, frail young man could possibly have.
Bazel, slightly out of breath, patted the Paladin Titan's neck and said irritably, "Ivanor, can you take it easy? Those shells won't damage the Fortress, but can you stop standing there like a sitting duck? It's tiring!"
The Paladin Titan lowered his head, and Bazel's expression changed. After all, a Titan's head, nearly three meters tall, was less than two meters away from him; anyone would tremble at the sight. "A suggestion, just a small suggestion..." Bazel said with a small finger gesture and a forced smile.
The Paladin Titan finally moved his imposing head away, Ivanor smirked, "Don't always spoil my fun, really."
Boom! The cannonball slammed into the steel armor on the back of the Cart Titan, causing it to Cart Titan. But the Cart Titan quickly reacted, using all four limbs to dodge the ensuing barrage.
"Augustus, are you alright?" the Cart Titan, who had taken cover, asked in a deep voice. Augustus was also a member of the armored civil war convoy behind the Cart Titan.
"Pieck-san, I... I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
Whoosh! A massive figure darted to the side of the Cart Titan, lowered its head, and Porco emerged from the back of the Flying Claw Titan's neck, his face grim. "That big guy is tough to deal with; the Flying Claw can't even get in."
The Cart Titan leaned slightly forward, giving a concealed glance at the slowly advancing Armored Train. Pieck, nestled in the back of her neck, quickly considered her options and soon noticed something.
"Porco, that thing has tracks, see? Like Train!" the Cart Titan said in a deep voice.
Porco stared for a moment, then nodded.
Moments later, the Cart Titan suddenly burst forth, its massive size immediately attracting the attention of the Armored Train and the surrounding surviving Middle East Soldiers. Countless artillery shells rained down on the Cart Titan.
The Cart Titan dodged and weaved, swiftly and skillfully avoiding the artillery fire, while the Cart Squad behind it unleashed a barrage of Machine Gun fire from within its armor.
A bloodbath erupted among the surviving Middle East Soldiers.
The Cart Titan is very fast, and if you look closely from a high vantage point, you will see that it is approaching the rear of the Cart Titan Armored Train.
Naturally, all the Armored Train's artillery fire was drawn to it, so by the time the Soldiers inside the armored Armored Train noticed a Titan rapidly approaching from directly in front of the Armored Train, it was too late. In their haste, only two Cannon turned around, but this meager amount of fire was not enough to stop the Flying Claw Titan from getting closer.
The Flying Claw Titan, its eyes bloodshot, roared at the approaching Armored Train.
Swish! Swish! Hardening shape in the Flying Claw Titan's hand.
With a fierce slash from the claws, the steel tracks in front of the Armored Train immediately shattered into pieces, but that wasn't all. The claws shot out like arrows, each one penetrating deep into the ground.
The Flying Claw Titan continued to fire its Hardening claws, quickly creating several aggregated Hardening obstacles on the ground.
As Pieck and Porco had predicted, the plan was a success. The Armored Train immediately lost control after derailing and overturned completely after being hit by Hardening barriers.
After finishing his tea, Yago listened to the gradually subsiding gunfire outside. "This war is about to end."
(Finally finished the hardest exams, I can relax a bit these next couple of days. Muzi 'm exhausted, studying until 1 or 2 AM every night, Muzi feel like I'm losing all my hair T_T)
