Paris, Western Military District Command.
“Iberia United Military District? There’s been movement from their headquarters.”
“Where to?”
“They’ve dispatched one legion to Marseille.”
“Why?”
“Seems they’re trying to seize control of the navy.”
“Hmph, that measly navy. . . There’s no reason for us to bother with it.”
While the Third Prince was checking the war situation on the map, there was a commotion outside. Soon after, Ingol, the commander of the Western Military District, entered the office and urgently reported.
“Your Highness, the Central Military District’s troops have been dispatched.”
“Location?”
“They are said to be heading west towards us.”
“It’s finally here. What about the Duchy of Normandy?”
“There was some damage in breaking through the trench line, but they successfully crossed the trenches and are currently engaged in urban warfare.”
“Tell them to deploy the troops of the Lords’ Alliance and drive out the enemies quickly. If we drag this out, we might be at a disadvantage.”
“Yes, I understand.”
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
Shooo! Kwaang!
A fire spear spell flew towards a Tiger tank entering the range and exploded. However, it was not enough to destroy the Tiger tank, which was plastered with various reinforcement magic circles, shield magic, and anti-magic circles.
“Tsk, as expected, tanks should be dealt with by tanks, right? If I had at least some field guns, I could have used direct fire to counter them, but. . .”
Ratatatatat! Ratatatatat!
Moreover, even in urban warfare, they were being pushed back by the enemies. In particular, it was maddening that those black-clad Stormtroopers were not falling down even after being hit by bullets with their bare bodies. Even the assassins of the Kronen family, who had approached for assassination, were repeatedly blocked by their monstrous strength and failed.
‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵-𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯.’
Even the Tiger tanks are difficult to deal with. . . With the Stormtroopers joining in, Royman was having a really hard time. If this continued, the casualties would be too great, and they would all be wiped out here.
‘𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘷𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘹, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. . . 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵. . .’
Royman, who had prepared a suicide squad in case of such a situation, immediately gave orders to the suicide squad, and the suicide squad secretly launched an offensive towards the enemy command post through the enemy’s rear.
As the 3,000-strong suicide squad struck the enemy command post, the Stormtroopers and Tiger tanks that had entered the city of Evreux began to retreat.
“Now is the time, retreat! We will retreat all the way to Lisieux!”
By the time Evreux was breached, trench lines were already being built in Lisieux City, Caen City, and other cities. The Battle of Evreux resulted in a staggering 8,000 casualties.
Royman, who barely managed to retreat to Lisieux with about 40,000 troops, was contemplating whether to give up Normandy altogether.
At that moment. . . Finally, the transport fleet of the Iberia United Military District Headquarters landed on Cabourg Beach.
“Earl! Reinforcements are landing on Cabourg Beach. Tiger tanks are coming down endlessly!”
“Kuh-hu-hu-hu. . . Oswald, you sent reinforcements at the perfect moment! Elder Bachmann! We must hide this fact from the enemies as much as possible. Please disrupt their information so that their tank units advance towards Lisieux.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Royman planned to take this opportunity to devour all the Tiger tanks under the Western Military District. The operation was named ‘Tomb of Tanks’, and the place that would become the tomb was Lisieux City.
Unlike other cities, Lisieux, where the tallest building was only five stories high, was the perfect place to annihilate tanks.
‘𝘓𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘓𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘶𝘹, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘴.’
Shortly after, Royman and Yuilhan, the commander who had brought the reinforcements, met at the Earl’s Palace in Caen.
“Long time no see, Ilhan.”
“I thought you’d just be getting fat as an Earl. . . Looks like you’ve been through a lot?”
“Hahaha, well, things happen. . . But congratulations on your promotion to Brigadier General.”
“Thanks to having good friends.”
“Still, I don’t think you could have reached that position so easily if you hadn’t become a Master.”
“Regardless, how’s the situation?”
“I managed to hold out as much as possible with delaying tactics, but it’s not good. Of course. . . Now that you’re here, things will change, but how many troops did you bring?”
“For now, two Tiger tank divisions, one self-propelled artillery golem division, and one mobile infantry brigade to escort and assist them.”
Mobile infantry was a term for infantry that moved using transport vehicles.
“So, I have a good plan. Want to hear it?”
“Tell me.”
“I’m thinking of turning Lisieux City into a graveyard for enemy Tiger tanks. First, I’m doing my best to disrupt information and conceal the fact that your units have arrived.”
Royman then began to explain the detailed plan. . .
“What’s the name of the operation?”
“Tomb of Tanks.”
“Simple. Okay, let’s do as you say. If we can devour their tank power here, our armored corps could become the dagger that stabs the rebels in the back. Just in time, the Central Military District’s army has begun its march. . . We can deal them a big blow at the right moment.”
“Alright, then I’ll get ready.”
