A short while later Kakuta reported in. "The tanks have arrived, sir. We boarded
and are riding in the prescribed direction."
"The third barrier to Capt. Klein's staff battalion has been penetrated by the
enemy," Wuriu Sengu announced. "The building is within firing range. Flank
advance has slowed down but a central spearhead is forming in the direction of the
government quarter."
"There you have it," Thora declared. No one bothered to respond.
Bell ordered the renewed engagement of all available helicopters. Colonel
Friedrichs confirmed it resignedly.
"If Ivan's action coincides with the attack of the helicopters, I expect a lot of
results. If we are able to add a third factor, it would work even better. You are in
command, Reggie, and you don't need me. You won't need Anne and Kitai,
either."
"It will do if you leave me Tanaka to get the bearings on the enemy transmitter.
But what did you mean?"
"The third factor, pal: our assault troop is invisible! That will help."
Rhodan offered no further explanation. He could not afford to lose anymore time
lest he come too late.
The three left the room and rode to the fourth cellar floor. There they each got five
normal demolition bombs that were bearable in weight but still each had the effect
of a ton of TNT.

The name of the tank commander was Sgt Cary. He was a patient man and a genius
at freight loading. Within three minutes he had managed to stow Goratschin's 2л-
meter-long body in his crowded tank. And that was not all! There was room for
Tako Kakuta and the other crew members.
Ivan's abilities were not unknown to the men of Terrania. They suddenly felt very
secure in their tank. Cary racked his brains: how was Goratschin going to work-
he certainly could not move much.
"That's nothing," the right head explained. "There are no protective screens that
can resist my thoughts, at least none that robots have. And this little bit of steel on
your tank is of even less consequence. All I need is to look out your observation
window."
"Here is a telescope. It is more precise and comfortable."
"OK. That's good, comrade," Goratschin's heads cheered in unison.
The two tanks were driving side by side. Their protective screens could be
switched to produce an additive effect when their generators were close together,
which resulted in more than three times the radius of each energy screen
individually. Every tank commander knew that trick; however, it required
masterful driving, as the adjacent chains of the two vehicles could not stray more
than 20 centimetres apart.
The area surrounding Block J-D 3 was completely deserted. Here and there lay
dead and demolished robots. The rubble of collapsed houses was no hindrance for
the giant tanks.
The area occupied by the robots started two streets farther along. A lucky hit by the
tank gunner eliminated the first sentry but the situation turned critical instantly.
The exchange of fire attracted a dozen foes, who attacked in a broad front.
"Watch out, Ivan!" Tako Kakuta called.
"I've got them in the telescope. Shall I.?"
"Naturally. What are you waiting for?"
