Chapter 251: A Reassuring Figure

by karlmaks — Stepping out, Erik realized the ground beneath his feet was not solid earth as he had imagined. After days of shelling from both sides, compounded by heavy rain, the area between the two Trenches was a sticky quagmire mixed with body parts, shrapnel, and blood-soaked mud. Every step he took was like a tug-of-war with death. The massive, grey skirmish line surged out of the Assault Trench, throwing themselves relentlessly toward the Gallic position several hundred meters away. The thin morning mist…

Chapter 250: The Boundary Between Life and Death

by karlmaks — September 3rd, early morning. The morning mist over the Creil region had not yet dissipated, clinging viscously and coldly to every inch of the muddy ground. The Saxon assault yesterday afternoon had been repulsed once more. The surviving soldiers hastily retreated, and the command post halted the offensive, issuing no new attack orders. Continuous assaults over several days had cost the First Army Group over twenty thousand lives on this trench line, which the Gauls had gone virtually ‘All…

Chapter 249: The Intact Shaped Charge Armor-Piercing Round

by karlmaks — Although they reacted quickly, attempting to immediately converge and form a back-to-back defensive formation, it was too late. The moment they turned their Armored Knights, the ground around them came alive. Armored Knights in dark green camouflage, covered by camouflage nets, burst from the ambush pits like demons from hell. Their speed was astonishing. In just a few breaths, they completely severed communication between the three ‘Siegfried I’ machines, isolating and surrounding…

Chapter 248: Ranger VS Teutonic Knights

by karlmaks — The Saxon Major soon led the unit to advance in the direction the farmer indicated. The three infantry companies, led by their respective officers, swiftly dispersed from their dense marching column into loose search formations and began moving toward the small copse of trees. Out of caution, the Major kept the fourth company as a reserve and positioned his battalion command group toward the rear of the center, right next to the three towering ‘Siegfried I’ Armored Knights. The presence of these steel…

Chapter 247: Trap

by karlmaks — September 1st. Exactly one month after the war began, the massive army of the Saxon Empire stood at the gates of Gallic Republic’s capital, Paris. Under the operation of the vast War Machine, countless soldiers, artillery, and vehicles were continuously mobilized from Amiens and even within the Saxon Empire, moving southwest. Amidst the surging torrent heading toward the outer defense lines of Paris, a distinct unit drew considerable attention. Their vehicles were painted with the conspicuous Imperial…

Chapter 246: Early Combined Arms

by karlmaks — “Correct, but wouldn’t that lead to heavy casualties? The enemy Machine Gunners aren’t fools; won’t they shift positions? Isn’t it also dangerous for our Machine Gunners to be exposed outside?” Morin countered. Everyone nodded. This was indeed the most common scenario in urban attack and defense, and it was where the heaviest casualties occurred. “But what if we had Smoke Grenades?” Morin continued without delay. “Before the attack begins, we first have the Mortar Launchers fire a…

Chapter 245: New Equipment

by karlmaks — After the check-up was complete, the first thing Morin did was go and bid farewell to Ludwig. “Morin, you’re leaving already?” Ludwig looked at the neatly dressed and spirited Morin, his eyes full of envy and reluctance. “Ugh—! I wish I could get out of here and back to the battlefield too! Paris is right there...” Morin smiled at Ludwig’s frustrated expression. “You just focus on recovering here. Maybe by the time you're well, I'll be drinking coffee in Joffre's office.” “You…

Chapter 244: The Assault on Paris Cannot Happen Without Me!

by karlmaks — “Add another seat?” Ludwig’s eyes widened violently. The idea, which sounded utterly preposterous yet seemed feasible, exploded in his mind. “Yes! A Two-Seater Armored Knight!” Morin grew more excited as he spoke, his entire thought process opening up. “Imagine, extend your cockpit backward, changing it into a dual, tandem seat.” “You remain in the front, still responsible for controlling the Armored Knight’s movement and close-quarters combat.” “Then, in the rear, you put a…

Chapter 243: New Thinking for Armored Knights

by karlmaks — Helga listened to the Magic Guided Technology terms she had never encountered before. Although much of it was incomprehensible, she could sense the shared, engineering-like obsession with technical problems that Patricia was describing. She couldn't help but say: “Although I don't understand Magic Guided Technology, it sounds somewhat similar to the problems we face when designing precision machinery. For example, how to fit more components into a limited space, while ensuring they don’t interfere…

Chapter 242: Behind a Successful Man

by karlmaks — In a secluded laboratory at the Imperial Arcane Technology Institute in the suburbs of Dresden, Patricia von Seeckt frowned, staring intently at a pile of complex and delicate Magic Guided components. She wore a pristine white lab coat, her golden hair meticulously pinned back, revealing a clean forehead and refined profile. At this moment, her face, usually marked by aristocratic pride, was etched with frustration. “No... still no! The Magic Crystal oscillator frequency cannot stabilize! The energy…
