The entire trench line became a sea of fire as steel rain poured down from the sky, and the Tiger tank division began its advance in front of the Imperial forces.
As the steel legion marched forward with their heavy, imposing frames at the very front. . . The Republican soldiers, who were already fatigued and had lost their morale, weren’t able to respond adequately.
Of course, their weapons weren’t strong enough to destroy a Tiger Tank in the first place. . . But the elf homunculi, whose fear had been removed, unleashed their magic and managed to hold their own against the Tiger Tanks as much as possible.
Although they were Tiger Tanks, if they continued to be hit with spells one after another, fatigue would build up in their defense magic circles and reinforcement magic circles, and once it reached a certain limit, the magic circles would collapse, allowing them to strike a decisive blow on the tank.
That was why the tanks, which had been on the front line, stepped back once they’d taken a certain degree of punishment, and the tanks in the rear stepped forward to take their place, minimizing damage from magic attacks through a relay system.
In the end, the elf leadership decided to deploy aerial battleships and magic golems to stop the advance of the Tiger Tanks, because at this rate, Barcelona as a whole might end up in danger.
As such, the Empire’s superhumans were deployed to the frontlines once again, and they focused all their attacks on the aerial battleships to try and reduce their numbers.
The aerial battleships, which had initially totaled fifteen, now only numbered around ten, and as soon as they’d deployed from their base one more was struck and fell to the ground.
The Republic also sent out its own masters to resist . . . but they were not enough to stop Gilgamesh, who had become a Grandmaster.
Soon after this, a fierce battle broke out between the Tiger Tanks and the magic golems. The golems tried their fastest to dodge the Tiger Tanks’ main cannons by moving around quickly, but since the tanks were all shooting at the same place, no matter where they tried to dodge, a shell always ended up striking and damaging the golems.
From the Empire’s perspective, even if they missed and hit somewhere in the trenches where the enemy forces were, it was advantageous because they were taking out the enemies while using the same amount of shells regardless.
In the end, around 120 out of the 1,000-strong force of magic golems were destroyed, forcing them to retreat, while an additional two aerial battleships were shot down, forcing them to retreat as well.
“Prepare the suicide attack.”
The elf leadership had anticipated a situation of this kind and, as a precaution, had embedded magic circles for self-destruction inside the magic stones they’d placed inside the homunculus elves’ bodies instead of hearts. They activated those magic circles and had the homunculus elves charge towards the enemy, carrying out a suicide attack.
Thanks to the relentless suicide attacks, twenty Tiger Tanks were rendered inoperable, and as a result of the ongoing assault the remaining tanks ended up having to leave the battlefield while dragging along the tanks which had become unable to move.
They had sacrificed nearly 30,000 homunculus elves to hold back and defeat twenty of the enemy’s tanks.
In any case, thanks to their efforts, Oswald was able to safely reach the sky above Madrid, the capital city.
“Fire!”
The Gigant riders, who had spent the last little while training for the airborne drop, leaped from their airships.
Having confirmed that every last person had jumped, Oswald also threw himself towards the ground, descending at great speed.
Thirty or so airships attacked from everywhere, drawing the attention of the enemy, but as expected of the capital of the Republic, their anti-air defenses were well prepared.
They attacked the airships using their magic mortars, and Griffin riders took off carrying wizards, who attacked the airships from the air.
However, the airships didn’t just take their attacks lying down. . .
TODOTODOTO! TODOTODOTO! TODOTODOTO! TODOTODOTO!
Quadra Anti-Air Machineguns, installed all around the airships, unleashed a torrent of fire, targeting the quickly-moving Griffin riders.
The shells fired from the Quadra Anti-Air Machineguns were also incredibly fast, so attacking the Griffin riders was a simple feat, and as a result, Griffins, and the knights riding on top of them, began to fall from the sky after being shot.
Meanwhile, Oswald, falling from the sky, converted Blood Daemon and created a forty-round Hellfire Rocket Launcher, locking onto targets like the Republican mortar positions before firing a barrage.
POOSHUSHOOSHOOSH!!
KWAGWAGWAGWAGWAGWANG!
Where the beautiful flowers made of flame blossomed, death was all that remained.
Oswald, having safely landed on the ground, immediately converted it into an exo-skeleton, equipping its shoulder frames with a M134 Minigun and a M242 Bushmaster chain gun which fired high-explosive 25mm incendiary rounds.
He then materialized two beam sabers in his hands, used his jet boost to charge forwards, and took out enemy soldiers with his beam sabers, chain gun, and minigun as they came into view.
‘𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘦. . . 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵?’
Oswald, who was checking his location on the holographic magic map they created for the operation, headed for the rendezvous point.
When he arrived at the rendezvous point not long after, he could see a group of ‘Sigmund’ unit members standing by, already in position.
“We shall now begin the operation. Everyone, mount your Gigants!”
The unit members, who were spaced out from each other, soon activated the artifacts embedded in their chests to summon their Gigants from hyperspace.
In an instant, the iron giants appeared. . . The unit members climbed aboard their Gigants and immediately began to move at great speed.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The Republican soldiers were shocked by the appearance of the ‘Sigmund’ unit and tried desperately to resist, but they weren’t able to stop the Gigants, which possessed heavy armor and had various magic circles cast on them to increase their durability.
In the distance, they could see the Republic’s warp gate, and as soon as it received news that they were under attack, it opened its doors immediately and began welcoming reinforcements of elven soldiers.
Oswald, too, converted his ‘Valerian’ class Gigant into a tank, equipping both shoulder frames with Bushmaster chain guns and unleashing a torrent of fire.
TUKTUKTUKTUKTUK!
Along with a thunderous roar, high-explosive incendiary rounds erupted forth, incinerating the Republican soldiers standing in its way.
At that moment, the elves’ golems appeared and stood before the Gigants, so. . . The Gigants activated the auras on their greatswords and prepared their battle stances.
Oswald’s beam saber struck first, cutting into the golem’s body and charging forwards, and the golems exploded one after another as the Bushmasters, whose rounds had now turned into armor-piercing rounds, tore into them.
As Oswald cleared the path in front, the other Gigants also followed along without hesitation, cutting the golems down as they advanced.
“Are those. . . not golems?”
A wizard on the Allied side looked in wonder at the enemy golem that was effortlessly destroying their own magical golems, with a sense of wonder. They moved far too quickly to be golems, and the fact that they could even use auras made them seem strange. Almost as though. . .
“They seem like the Gigants from ancient times?”
Gigants, the pinnacle of magic engineering created at the height of the ancient age of magic. The fact that the very same Gigants had manifested before their eyes. . .
