Several weeks had passed, and I had some random news, in these past few weeks my Empire had helped the Abyssinian Empire regain its military footing, by producing tanks, aircraft, and other such things of their design, all using hydrogen as fuel. I had upgraded their tanks however, having scanned the entire net of information on Earth that humans called the Internet, I had several designs for tanks that improved over their own, so I had decided to have the Empires factories produce Leopard 2A5's using their own technology and the hydrogen engines, they already had plans to produce these after I handed over the designs, but the Storm Empire invasion had put a stop to that before the first one had even been completed to faze out their older King Tiger tanks. For now my Empire produced everything for the Abyssinians, their own industrial capacity was only beginning to recover due to the attack, and having to be moved, and upgraded to standards just beginning to be enforced before the invasion.

At the moment I was in Fillydelphia, close to the coast, the reason for why? Every kingdom and empire, that was not hostile to Equestria or one another, had been invited to do a military demonstration show, show off the various empires and kingdoms military ground vehicle technology. Dummy targets had been set up, including the WW1 styled Mark tanks, which had ammunition and fuel in them, all turned on, these would be paid for of course, these where to be targets for our own tanks to test their weaponry on. I watched as a griffon make mark tank, rolled up slowly before its two cannons fired, landing a hit on the Equestrian model, causing a rather large hole in the side as the tank itself burst into flame as its fuel and ammunition cooked off, causing it to explode a second time.

Next up was one of the new Equestrian Mark tanks, arching with electricity as rather than cannon, it sported several pointed tesla coils in place of cannon, however it still had a machine gun mounted in the nose, and it fires, arches of electricity slammed into the older model Equestrian tank, and fried the primitive electronics within, and the electric current running through it caused the fuel to go off in a brilliant explosion of fire, Princess Celestia nodded in satisfaction. The Minotaur processed no tanks of their own, however what they did have was 20 millimeter Luger Rifles, simply up-scaled versions of the rifles they had received at first, and one minotaur put hers to good effect when shooting at their mark tank, after two shots the fuel began to leak from it, and one more near it caused sparks from the metals meeting, lighting the fuel, causing this tank to alight with flame, perhaps not as effective as another tank, but if more than one minotaur had been shooting, I don't doubt that the tank woulda been Swiss cheese, extra crispy.

Next, Queen Carnelia ordered her Leopard tank forward, the crew within listened and acted quickly, the machine driving in circles around the mark tank while aiming its 120 millimeter smooth bore cannon and fired three times in rapid succession, the tank lit up on the second shell, the third one struck the ammunition storage and caused the tank to blow up tossing burning slabs of metal nearby, while Celestia, and the Griffons and Minotaur whom had joined to show their nations abilities, tried to pick their jaws off the floor, it was hilarious. Carnelia grinned at me, and thus it was my Empire's turn.

A Dragonslayer tank rolled up, the size of a World War Two Maus tank due to the 400 millimeter railgun cannon acting as its main weapon, deemed it needed to make the tank larger, I had smaller 150 millimeter railgun tanks that were about the size of the rest of them, this however was my largest tank in service by the Empire, one of the most powerful. It rolled along even faster than the cats tank had, and launched several small missiles at it from the pod on the right of the tank, slamming into the main guns of the dummy mark tank, destroying them in the process while the 400 millimeter railgun swung around and fired two shells, the tank was no longer a tank, just a burning pile of scrap and fuel as the ammunition blew up instantly upon contact with the tungsten shell going mach 9 slammed into the ammunition storage.

Queen Carnelia didn't act surprised at all, having seen how effective these very tanks had been in recorded battlefield footage of my forces storming through her ruined Empire and destroying bugs and storm beast alike, the rest however, seemed to be very shocked Celestia looking rather pale, while Chieftess Silverhorn seemed to almost be afraid, however doing her best now to show such weakness, and Hightalon Czarina Dark Feather, didn't bother to hide the fear in her voice as she spoke. "You.....with just one of these, could have decimated our capital and we'd have had no chance to stop it if you had decided to invade when my mother declared war....by the Gods..."

I just laughed. "These normally are not meant to deal with tanks, however suited to the job they are, these are multi role tanks meant to deal with dragons, or perhaps giant monsters like a bugbear, and deal with them quickly. That gun is a semi automatic version of the fully automatic railgun cannons on the walls of the Empire which act as automated and automatic defenses against large targets."

Hightalon Czarina Dark Feather slowly nodded. "I...see." She had known King Lorenzo's Empire, was one of the most powerful in terms of technology, but had she realized the scope of just how much more advanced his Empire was in terms of technology sooner, and warned her mother, she didn't think even her power hungry late mother would have been stupid enough to declare war on the New Crystal Empire.

Princess Celestia took a few moments to regain composure. "Now onto, the infantry weapons and soldiers themselves." With a wave of her hand several Equestrian Royal Guardmares rushed up, some carrying Tesla rifles, some carrying Luger Rifles, they took aim at several wooden targets and fired, peppering them with holes and scorch marks from the tesla rifles, before one pulled out a bulky looking ball about the size of a grenade, and pressed a button on the top before tossing it, after it landed it went off in a display of electric arcs, and Celestia grinned.

Griffon soldiers where up next, unlike Equestria the Griffon Empire allowed males to join the Military, so it was a mix of males and female soldiers who ran up, carrying Luger rifles, and light machine guns as they fired into the wooden targets, peppering them with holes, having no grenades to throw, they just continued to shoot until the targets had been turned into wood chips. Hightalon Czarina Dark Feather nodded in approval.

Minotaur soldiers walked up in heavy metal armor, stainless steel as far as I could tell, some carrying those 20 mm luger rifles, a few carrying heavy machine guns as if they where assault rifles, and fired, less than 15 seconds later the wooden targets had been reduced to almost sawdust. And Chieftess Silverhorn grinned, showing her approval of her own soldiers.

The Abyssinian soldiers rushed into combat without a word, their pressed steel German styled helmets dully shined, the black paint on them mostly absorbing the light hitting them, one hefted up a MG-34 with a drum attached to the side and fired, while the two cats with STG-44's provided covering fire from either side, the MG-34's noise was deafening, the large rounds taking huge chunks out of the targets it was aimed at, while the STG-44's shot smaller chunks out at the same time, within five seconds the dozen wooden soldiers, had been reduced to scrap wood and sawdust, and the cats hadn't even gone through the entire drum for the MG-34. Carnelia nodded with approval, her troops next to mine, proved to outmatch the rest so far.

I grinned before speaking. "Behold, the Combat Android, the top of the line in light robotic soldiers, issued Heavy Marine Armor to protect them from small arms fire, and some rifle calibers, they are programmed for various combat conditions and their AI adapts to the conditions they are thrown into, they will complete their orders without question, without hesitation, without fear." Several androids walked up, one carrying an ARRMK2, and one with a sleek looking laser rifle that seemed to have a blue coloration to it, and one carrying a prototype Plasmatic plasma rifle, called PPRV2, or Plasmatic Plasma Rifle Version 2. The blue laser rifle was an AER-11, Quantum infused focusing lenses allowed much more power per shot than the AER-9, and the AER-10 combined. I had instructed to be given steel targets for this, mixed in with the wooden ones, the android carrying the AER-11 took aim and fired in automatic mode, the wooden targets bursting to ash wherever the lasers struck, while the android with the ARRMK2 fired a short burst of automatic 5.56 railgun rounds, the metal and wooden targets struck got blasted backwards before falling over, and the two shooting stopped. They backed up for the one carrying the PPRV2, and everyone, even Carnelia watched with awe as it took aim and fired, the miniaturized plasmatic lance shooting plasma so hot, and so rapidly, that the steel targets hit melted into slag the moment they where struck with it, even setting the grass on fire. I looked over at the others with stunned looks. "Well, in terms of power, I'd say my troops win."
