Although Perfikot felt it was unnecessary to provide the Army with super-caliber weapons like electromagnetic cannons, under Ely's persuasion, she decided to give the Army a chance to upgrade their equipment.
And this equipment... was the tank.
Although in the original world, tanks were an invention of the World War I era, in various fantasy works, this thing can really be driven by steam.
Even in the history of the original world, there were indeed large-tonnage vehicles pulled by steam engines, a little modification, and they could indeed create tanks.
The reason that restricted Perfikot from doing so was simple; she simply felt that such actions were wasteful and unnecessary.
Previously, resources and strength needed to be focused on dealing with the apocalypse winter, and now they needed to be piled up to deal with the impending attack from the gods.
Compared to tanks, Floating Cities, Floating Battleships, and electromagnetic cannons are undoubtedly more cost-effective.
