The Garelian Fortress, located on the border between the Empire mainland and Crossbell, relies on the steep terrain of the valley area, and thus stands on one side of the high ground, opposite the Belgard Gate, and is also one of the largest strongholds of the Empire's regular army in the Empire. In the eyes of staunch adherents of the aristocratic faction, it was a huge and stupid fortress.

The fortress is equipped with a large number of training facilities such as professional training grounds and training camps, but what makes this fortress special is undoubtedly the behemoth called the "train cannon" that is erected in the middle of the track at the top of the mountain. The two train cannons are like two cold executioners, looking coldly at the bustling city of Crossbell, the second only imperial capital and the capital of the republic in the Western Continent, and if necessary, it will spit out extremely destructive flames, as its manufacturer, "RF" news agency advertises, to destroy the city of half a million people in two hours.

It was the presence of these two train cannons that calmed down the various forces surrounding the Crossbell area, and turned from the battle on the surface to the competition in the shadows. Crossbell, who was not even allowed to have a sovereign army, would never be able to withstand such an attack simply by virtue of the guided armored vehicles, which were far inferior to the Imperial Army in terms of quantity and quality, and this also gave the republic on the other side of the autonomous region a huge disadvantage. President Locksmith, who is still comfortable in the face of the chaos in the country, is also difficult to come up with any feasible solution to the situation in the face of Cross Bell.

Of course, if it really goes to the necessary level, after the two train cannons are fired, it will inevitably lead to verbal criticism from all sides of the imperial army. Even the Prime Minister should seriously think about this kind of behavior, which is completely contrary to human values - so when the train cannon is at its most powerful, it is now, when it is honestly erected and deployed on the tracks, pointing at Crossbell.

Returning to the Fortress of Galyria, Instructor Sarah's question, "Which of you have been there", resonated unanimously among the few people present who had seen the fortress before. Miriam was even more outspoken, and even she had a kind of exclamation that "the border entrance of the empire is such a childish thing", so that the leopard can understand the exaggeration of the fortress. And that's exactly what happened, when Alyssa, Emma and other people who had never seen this fortress saw the torrent of steel in front of them, it was difficult to clarify their inner feelings in one or two rounds.

"Although it is said to be a military base...... But it's too ......," Alyssa's eyes widened, looking around, "Is it all made of steel?" ”

"Hmm. The forest of metal, that's pretty much what it feels like. It's ...... pressure in this place," Emma echoed Alyssa.

"That's why we brought you here." Instructor Sarah seemed to be satisfied with the reaction of Emma and the others, "Under this torrent of steel, what is completely hidden and exposed, that is, the essence of the army!" ”

Indeed, the Garelian Fortress deserves such a title. In addition to the Fourth Mecha Division, which is recognized as the most elite in the Empire, there are currently two Mecha Divisions second only to the Third and Fourth Mecha Divisions, and the Fifth Mecha Division, which is located in the second grade within the Empire, is stationed here. At the same time, the warehouses made of steel plates were stocked with a large number of the latest guided guns and equipment, as well as the latest guided combat vehicle "Eighteen", which was parked in the garage, which could be hundreds in number, which used to make Oliebar quite wary.

The back and forth of soldiers, the operation of the military system, and the display of domineering power - there may not be a second place in the world with such a war atmosphere except for real battlefields. That's why Instructor Sarah said this, because only such a simple and intuitive thing can show what the "foundation" of the empire as a military power is.

"Heads of state, distinguished guests, you have made the long journey to this Crossbell, thank you for your hard work." The new mayor of Crossbell, Dita Cullois, is now addressing the audience with his representative, enthusiastic voice. Among them, there was an Imperial delegation led by Osborne, the "Iron Lord", who arrived from the imperial capital Heimdall on the "Iron Earl"; There is also the Locksmith Presidential Mission that arrives in limousines from the city of Palum, on the border of the Republic, under strict escort. In addition, the royal family of Liber, who came on the "White Wing" Elsayu, and the ruler of the Duchy of Remephilia, Archduke Albert, who also arrived on a special ship, were all distinguished guests.

And to be able to have someone of this caliber standing in the audience waiting - there must be something worth it waiting to be revealed.

Clearly, Dita didn't intend to keep the guests waiting too long. After a brief speech, accompanied by another sentence from him, the scene instantly became commotion, "Next, please allow me to introduce to you the new city hall of Crossbell City, as a symbol of the trade and financial city of Crossbell, and as a symbol of hope to give the whole continent peace and development opportunities - behind me, the first super high-rise building in the history of the mainland, the "Orchid Tower"! ”

As Dita's voice fell, the force guide device set around the orchid tower began to operate, and the huge curtain was slowly pulled open under the operation of the mechanical arm. Surrounded by a blue glass curtain wall, a modern Dasha made a stunning appearance surrounded by doves of peace and the exclamations of the crowd.

Even if all of you present are already people who have seen the world, they are all shocked by the crystallization of modern human civilization. Prime Minister Osborne, who has always been unsmiling, had an unprecedented smile of appreciation on the corner of his mouth, and President Locksmith on the side laughed happily. Archduke Albert and Lady Colotia, a little further away, glanced at each other, and read admiration and shock in each other's eyes.

Dita was obviously satisfied with the reaction of those present - because this mansion was not only the first time that Crossbell had attracted the attention of the world with positive news since he became mayor, but also because the people who were shocked were not ordinary people, but the most powerful people in the Western Continent. And what people present didn't know was that he was going to make an amazing decision at this meeting.

With a confident smile, he opened his hands, "Then, I am here again to announce the official start of the Sisemliya Trade Conference!" ”
