Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 141.2

This way, the enemies wouldn’t be able to find the passage, and the investigators would be able to evacuate safely.

Afterwards, the investigator engaged in a battle with the enemies while holding a revolver. When the soldiers who heard the commotion joined in, it became difficult to hold on any longer, and he eventually. . . chose martyrdom.

He knew well that if he were caught here and tortured by them, no matter how devout his faith was, he would not be able to overcome the pain.

Moreover, since there was black magic that made people confess. . . even if he tried to endure firmly, he would eventually have to spit out information, and if that happened, other investigators currently active in Paris would also be in danger.

Tang!

The investigator, who had placed the muzzle of the revolver against his temple, pulled the trigger without hesitation and became a martyr.

“Too late.”

One of the Schutzstaffel guards checked the suicide corpse with the muzzle of his MAS-49. It was to see if he was just pretending to be dead.

“If his brain was intact. . . we could have raised him with necromancy and asked. . . but his brain is blown to smithereens. Tsk. . .”

After this incident, the Schutzstaffel arrested more citizens under the pretext of searching for spies, and those arrested were handed over to Earl Himmler and forced to undergo chimera surgery.

“He’s one thing for sure when it comes to handling matters.”

Unlike Earl Himmler, who had been moving passively due to the eyes of others, Earl Hess did not hesitate to use any means or methods to get into the eyes of the 3rd Prince. He even went so far as to brainwash the Schutzstaffel guards. . . He was a competitor, but he could be considered a helpful one.

Thanks to his efforts, more than 50,000 people could already be mobilized for the surgery. Of course, if they were to estimate the number of people who would succeed in the surgery, it would be around 20,000. However, they were still replenishing personnel through the Schutzstaffel in real time, so they weren’t worried.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘴. . . 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴.’

Currently, about 400,000 of the Western Military District troops were soldiers conscripted from Paris and nearby territories. They would probably soon hear the news that their families had been taken away by the Schutzstaffel and never returned.

If that happened. . . an internal rebellion would be inevitable. Weren’t they already replacing their weapons with outdated ones out of concern for rebellion?

It was already unfair that they were forcibly conscripted, but even though they were the same regular army, this side had outdated weapons while the other side had new ones. . . Complaints were bound to arise. On top of that, they were indiscriminately arresting people in Paris. . .

‘𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘨𝘰 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘏𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺.’

The notoriety of Earl Hess and the Schutzstaffel was already spreading throughout Paris. Moreover, since the Stormtroopers were a secret unit, they were rarely known to the outside world, and as a result, all the blame was focused on the Schutzstaffel.

‘𝘏𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘦.’

As the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Earl Himmler had no doubt that Earl Hess would soon be discarded.

Rumble!

Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of Tiger tanks were roaring and firing as they raced across the Belarusian plains. They were the armored units led by Marquis Winchester, part of the Eastern Lords Allied Forces.

Another armored unit facing them. . . They were the armored divisions belonging to the Northern Military District. With identical specs and numbers, the outcome of the battle essentially depended on the proficiency of those handling the tanks and the competence of the commanders leading them.

“A head-on clash?”

Marquis Winchester gazed at the front lines for a long time, observing the Tiger tanks engaged in a direct confrontation. In terms of troop proficiency, his side was superior. . . but the Northern Military District was better at threatening them with the help of self-propelled artillery golems.

“Send in the Musketeer Cavalry Battalion.”

The Musketeer Cavalry.

A cavalry unit composed of high-level musketeers, all capable of imbuing their bullets with aura. To penetrate the armor of the Tiger tanks, they fired bullets enchanted with penetration-enhancing and general strengthening magic circles, further enhanced with aura. This, surprisingly, could pierce the Tiger tanks’ armor and inflict damage on the interior.

A moment later, the Musketeer Cavalry, equipped with simple breastplates, began to move.

The Musketeer Cavalry was armed with the V13 series, a new series of Winchester rifles. The V13 series was designed as a semi-automatic rifle, in line with the current trend. It was created by studying the mechanism of the MAS-49, the standard rifle of the Republic of Libertas, and incorporating it into the Winchester design.

Rat-tat-tat-tat!

Around 1,000 musketeers rode their horses, swiftly circling the outskirts of the battlefield and heading towards the enemy’s rear. Their primary objective was to eliminate the self-propelled artillery golems. First, they used regular bullets to clear out the Northern Military District troops stationed around the golems.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The musketeers, now capable of rapid fire in a more stable state than with the lever-action mechanism, occasionally needed to imbue their bullets with aura, but this was no major issue as they could simply infuse it directly.

Having breached the Northern Military District troops positioned around the self-propelled artillery golems, the Musketeer Cavalry arrived right next to them. Instead of attacking the golems with their rifles, they used pre-prepared magic bombs.

Boom! Crash! Boom!

Unlike the Tiger tanks, the golems were not heavily armored or enchanted with protective magic circles, so they were easily destroyed and fell to the ground with simple magic bombs.

With the Musketeer Cavalry’s remarkable performance in silencing all the enemy artillery, the Eastern Allied Forces launched a simultaneous advance with their previously concealed infantry from both flanks.

The Tiger tanks that were supposed to stop their advance were already tied up with the Eastern Allied Tiger tanks, and the self-propelled artillery, which could have effectively halted the infantry’s progress, had all been destroyed by the Musketeer Cavalry.

Thus, the Northern Military District, allowing the Eastern Allied Forces to advance, suffered a major defeat and only managed to retreat to Riga City with about two brigades of Tiger tanks.

Although they considered pressing their advantage and marching straight to Riga City. . . the Eastern Allied Forces had also suffered significant losses, so they ultimately had to halt their advance after capturing the Belarusian plains.
