Northern Military District Headquarters.
“Sigh. . . Sir Lyman, is it still far?”
“It’s almost ready. All that’s left is Your Highness’ help.”
“Okay, then let’s finish it quickly. Before those subjugation forces catch me. . . I need to turn this all around.”
“Yes. Just trust me, Your Highness.”
Following the charming man, Lyman, Princess Arwen moved underground. Arwen didn’t know when such an underground facility had been prepared at the Northern Military District Headquarters, but she didn’t care much.
Soon, she arrived at a large underground cavity. There, she saw hundreds of thousands of people naked, indulging in each other.
“What are they doing?”
“They are just performing a ritual to summon the God of Seduction.”
“Hmm. . . I don’t have to do that too, do I?”
“Don’t worry. Your Highness just needs to stand in the center.”
Thus, she followed Lyman’s guidance and passed by those who were shamelessly committing lewd acts. And finally, Arwen stepped onto the large circular magic circle prepared in the center.
“Is it done?”
“It will begin now. You will soon gain the power to rule this world.”
A moment later, a pink aura began to rise above the giant magic circle in the cavity filled with moans. Then, the entire cavity began to fill with pink light, and soon the light gathered towards Arwen, who was at the center.
“Oh my!”
At first, she was intoxicated by the powerful energy filling her body, but at some point, she felt like she was being consumed by the energy, and soon it turned into pain.
Arwen resisted fiercely, but. . . she was already completely engulfed by the energy. Eventually, she lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor.
Lyman walked among the sacrifices who had become mummies and died, and prostrated himself before Arwen.
“Your Grace, Archduke.”
【Baron Lyman? 】
“I apologize, but there was a limit to how many sacrifices I could gather. . . So I had to summon Your Grace like this.”
【Not a complete summoning. . . but a possession using a medium. 】
“The situation is not good. . . I did this for now, and I plan to gather more sacrifices with Your Grace’s help.”
【Indeed, you are not in perfect condition either, so it can’t be helped. 】
“Let’s get out of here for now. Chronos’ hounds are gathering, targeting Your Grace.”
【Those annoying bastards. . . Chronos’ hounds exist in every world. 】
“Go, Your Grace.”
Afterward, Baron Lyman and the Archduke of Charm, who had possessed Arwen’s body, moved. They planned to go further north to meet with the barbarian tribes who worshiped the evil god of seduction, Lust, and prepare their forces.
With the help of the barbarian worshipers, it wouldn’t be difficult to summon their forces to this world.
However, there was someone who arrived here before them, and that was Oswald.
“Battleships, commence battle!”
The Iberian United Military District Headquarters Air Force began their air raid on Riga City with naval bombardments. They had already heard that all civilians had evacuated from Riga City, so they could bombard the entire city without hesitation.
Moreover, the bombardment was being poured down from tens of meters above, so it was at a level that most anti-aircraft equipment couldn’t even reach. . . Because of this, the Northern Military District troops were busy being swept away without being able to put up any resistance.
“Fighters, sortie!”
They had poured down one round of air raids, so now it was time for precision strikes. Soon, more than 500 Kaiser fighter jets that were on standby in the carrier took off.
They began their dive attacks, firing machine guns and magic, and prioritized attacking the emplacements and Tiger tanks to allow their ground troops to easily enter Riga City.
Vrooooom!
Ratatatatatatat!
Boom! Kaboom!
Kaiser fighter jets attacking and air battleships bombarding from all directions. Then, the airborne troops were deployed. Their target was the Northern Military District Headquarters mansion, and the airborne troops were scheduled to be deployed there along with the members of the Order of the Holy Knights.
“Have the Gigant riders surround the Headquarters mansion and block the enemy’s attacks! Deploy the airborne troops!”
The airborne troops began their high-altitude jump, and when they reached a certain altitude, they opened their parachutes and landed safely on the ground. They immediately began to subdue the troops around the Headquarters.
Ratatatatat!
The military police guard guarding the Headquarters mansion began to be pushed back by the attacks of the airborne troops. Then, the commanders inside the Headquarters used telecommunication magic to order their subordinate units to come and rescue them.
The first to move was the mechanized infantry division. They, with their combat vehicles, quickly moved to rescue the Headquarters, but their path was blocked by the Gigants that had appeared.
“Damn it! Gigants!”
Ratatatatatatat!
Heavy machine guns fired, attacking the Gigants, but it wasn’t enough to penetrate the thick armor of the Gigants, which weighed tens of tons. Then, the Gigant’s greatsword, clad in aura, swung, splitting the combat vehicle in half and causing it to explode.
Boom!
In this way, the Gigants blocked the path to the Headquarters, and the remaining Gigants scattered in all directions and began to subdue the rebel forces.
As the battle between the Iberian United Military District Headquarters Air Force and the Northern Military District Headquarters ground forces was in full swing, the Eastern Lords’ Coalition army and the 1st Army Division of the United Military District Headquarters, which had been deployed in advance, finally appeared on the outskirts of Riga City.
“The Commander is having a proper fight! Now that the enemies have withdrawn their troops to the center, this is our chance! Everyone, advance!”
At Wilhelm’s command, the Winchester Principality’s armored division began to charge forward. Tiger tanks fired, pouring out shells, and the soldiers of the Northern Military District Headquarters, who were in the trenches, resisted by using towed artillery as anti-tank guns, but they were helplessly pushed back.
Meanwhile, there were those who entered the Headquarters before anyone else, and they were the members of the Order of the Holy Knights. They ignored the Northern Military District forces blocking their way and moved along the path where they felt demonic power.
And finally, they discovered a secret passage leading underground. . .
“May Chronos be with us. . .”
With a prayer, the members of the Order of the Holy Knights began to descend into the underground passage.
