Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 102.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎𝟐: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐫 (11)

BOOM. BANG! BOOM!

Amidst the chaotic spellfire that rained down upon them from all sides, the Imperial forces found themselves besieged within the isolated citadel of Pamplona. Their salvation lay in the Tiger tanks strategically deployed throughout the fortress, preventing the enemy from advancing with impunity.

Even their venerable Os rifles and Wald submachine guns proved invaluable in the defense of their trench lines. The Quadra anti-aircraft autocannon, too, played its part, decimating the ranks of Elven raiders attempting to breach their perimeter.

“Isn’t that just like a magic stick? It looks exactly like one of those 「Harry P.」 magic wands.”

With a surge of mana, the inscribed runes would activate, unleashing the spell it contained. Word had it that these wands housed spells such as Shield, Fireball, Magic Missile, Icebolt, and Wind Cutter.

“For now, there doesn’t seem to be a big problem with the supply. . . . . . .”

Through spatial magic and subspace pockets, they had managed to stockpile ammunition and provisions, allowing them to endure for another week or two, at the very least.

The problem was that the enemy only had about 1 or 2 weeks as well. They had also confirmed that one air fleet had left Pamplona and was heading for Barcelona. Their air battleship was chasing closely behind. . . but eventually, they would have no choice but to miss.

In the end, the 4th Field Army of Pamplona had to be devoured before the Northern Military District troops moved south. The problem was that it was difficult to break through the incredibly strong defense line.

Deploying their monster units and magical golems only resulted in the appearance of Gigant, who tore through them like paper. . .leaving them at an impasse.

“Even if we send out an aerial battleship, that red giant will appear and shoot it down in an instant. . . . . . .”

“Can’t we make that Gigant?”

“Right now, we’re trying to make it based on the golem. . . but the movement is too unnatural and the energy efficiency is not good, so it seems like it will take time.”

As they were worrying about this and that, explosions suddenly began to occur in their camp.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions spewing red flames and demonstrating their power in all directions. The terrible sound of the Oswald Cannon could be heard from afar.

“Did the enemy have Oswald Cannons?”

At that moment, a larger explosion occurred at the site of the explosion, with flames splashing in all directions and completely scorching the surroundings. The ammunition depot happened to be located at the site of the explosion, and the ammunition there exploded and scattered in all directions.

“What in the. . .? I can’t tell if we’re attacking or being attacked.”

The Allied forces seized the opportunity, launching a simultaneous assault from all sides. Imperial troops charged into the fray, armed with Os rifles and Wald submachine guns.

TATATATATAT! TUDUTUDUTUDU! TODODODODO!

Even the Imperial artillery was exploding from all sides, so the Allied forces attacking Pamplona were quickly cut down.

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF PUFF! PUFF PUFF!

A total of 36 crimson howitzers, centered around Oswald, unleashed their fury in a 360-degree barrage, each gun targeting a 10-degree sector. Oswald, in particular, occasionally mixed in cluster munitions, raining deadly payloads from the sky and decimating entire squads.

‘𝘐’𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘶𝘬𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵. . . . . . .’

He couldn’t act easily because of the gaze watching him from a nearby location.

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥.’

Among the Brotherhood, there was only one person with such excellent stealth skills: Katarina, the Zephyr assassin he had encountered in Madrid.

If not for her presence, he could have turned the tide with a few tactical nukes, obliterating his foes in an instant. . . Unfortunately, the Brotherhood valued balance and was wary of Oswald’s indiscriminate use of weapons of mass destruction.

‘𝘖𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱 𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘮?’

It seemed that it would be possible to instantly disintegrate the Allied forces that were rushing in, although it would not be as effective as a nuclear attack.

Oswald, whose thoughts had gone that far, seemed like he was going to do it for sure. . . but for now, he decided to wait and see. No matter how unscrupulous Oswald was, he was burdened by killing too many lives alone.

Oswald spent his time supporting his allies with the towed guns. Since using these towed guns for too long caused considerable fatigue, he drank potions appropriately to help with recovery.

‘𝘐𝘵𝘴 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦.’

Thanks to Oswald’s prodigious efforts, the Allied forces failed to make any significant headway for a week. When news of their predicament finally reached Barcelona. . .communications were established between Barcelona and the Northern Military District.

However, since they had prepared for this case as well, when communication was not transmitted to the Northern Military District, the Western Military District sent a fast-moving person to directly reach the point where communication with the Northern Military District could be reached.

The one who moved was Major Gilgamesh Arkad. Gilgamesh flew over the Pyrenees Mountains at high speed and communicated with the Northern Military District, then turned around and headed for Pamplona. If he went himself, it would be of great help to the 4th Field Army of Pamplona.

The Northern Military District, which received Gilgamesh’s communication, immediately moved its troops. For some reason, the Donostia side had been quiet lately. . . It was thanks to the 4th Field Army advancing to Pamplona.

As the Northern Military District troops began to move in a hurry, the liberal revolutionaries who were watching them carried out acts of terrorism to delay the departure of the Northern Military District troops. Explosions erupted throughout the Northern Military District’s temporary encampments, causing chaos as they scrambled to contain the threat.

Of course, the commander realized the enemy’s intent to hinder their movements and, without hesitation, dispatched a single field army to deal with the situation. The result was an increase in terrorist activity, but it was a risk they were willing to take, given the desperation of their adversaries.

With the Northern Military District forces finally managing to deploy, the Allied forces found themselves in a precarious position. The Allied forces besieging Pamplona, in particular, had encountered unexpectedly fierce resistance, not only failing to recapture the city but also suffering heavy casualties. As a result, they were now in danger of losing Donostia as well.

“Gilgamesh?”

“Oswald.”

“What’s the situation here?”

“Word reached us that you were isolated, so we came to your aid. However. . .”

Gilgamesh frowned at the gaze he felt around him.

“Yeah, it’s the Brotherhood. They’ve come to keep an eye on me, wondering if I’ll use ‘that’ destructive weapon of mine.”

“Ha.”

Gilgamesh let out a hollow laugh as if he was in a bad mood, and Katarina’s body, which had been hiding, seemed to flinch. Looking at Gilgamesh’s aura and ability, which had become stronger than when they met last time, he had definitely become stronger.
