Chapter 1154: A Repeated Fate
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Agatha, Iron Axe, and Edith departed for the front by train after they disclosed the operation plan finalized in Neverwinter .
The double-track railway had now forked out into four branches for both operation and transportation purposes, with exactly the same setting as the various stations . There would be much more work for the construction team, but headquarters understood that the terminus station, Tower Station No . 10, would probably not come into use for the final battle .
The commanders knew that once the contruction of all the stations were completed, there was nothing the demons could do to turn the table . First of all, it was extremely hard to destroy the "Blackriver" made of steel . Even in the event of a disruption of the transportation system, the army could still sustain themselves with the military supplies at each station while the railroad was amended . Given such circumstances, the demons could no longer defeat human beings by cutting off the supplies, and they certainly could not directly clash with the fortified stations and their firearms . The only way left for the demons was to stop the First Army before the completion of Tower Station No . 10 .
In other words, the decisive battle would break out at any time rather than on a specific date .
The railway was now strictly protected by various bunkers, trenches, and fortresses .
Also, as Agatha had noticed, the railroad facing the Holy City had turned at a small angle, which enabled the train to parallel Taquila . Roland suggested that this was the optimal firing angle for the train-mounted guns .
The two armored trains, the "Blackrivers" were now standing magnificently at the end of the railway .
Like two moving fortresses, the armored trained were equipped with four revolving gun turrets that would instantly fire when the demons attempted to approach the railway . The 152mm-caliber Longsong Cannon mounted on the top was pointing at the sky in the direction of the Taquila city .
As Agatha ascended the lookout tower at the center of the encampment, she saw the city ruin half-buried in the thick, dense bushes around it .
Forlorn ran through her when she saw the dilapidated city lay woefully below her .
Even though it had been over 400 years, she could still make out the faint outline of the old Holy City from this desolate relic .
"Were you born there?" Edith asked .
Agatha nodded . The memories of the past flooded back to her .
"Congratulations . From today onwards, you're officially a member of the Union . "
"You're really the youngest High Awakened in the history of time . Welcome to the Quest Society . "
"Wow, you're so amazing!"
. . .
"Do you know what you're doing? They're all valiant soldiers who devoted everything to the Union . They're just in a coma, and you want to conduct tests on them?"
"You know how slim the chance is for them to wake up . They sustained head injuries! I'm sure they'll prefer offering their bodies to dying in their sleep . "
"I can't accept it . "
"This is an order signed by Lady Alice . If you can't accept it, then you're free to leave . "
. . .
"Your ladyship, the city is breached . I'm afraid the allied forces couldn't hold up any longer! Let's get out of here!"
"But my sister hasn't come back yet . "
"She's a member of the Defending Army and she'll never abandon her post . If you end up dying here, she sacrificed herself for nothing!"
