Chapter 91 How Can Your Misty Step Also Lay Smoke?

by karlmaks — When the sky had just transitioned from pitch black to a hazy grayish-white, and a faint light emerged from the distant horizon, barely allowing the outlines of objects to be discerned. A sentry on the outer position of the town of San Lorenzo de la Parrilla yawned and rubbed his eyes. He felt that something was wrong. When he was on duty last night, the gentle slope in front of them was a flat expanse, with only scattered shrubs. But now, it seemed like something had been added to that slope.…

Chapter 123 Man-who?

by karlmaks — The Lieutenant Colonel from the War Office seemed to have other duties this time, so he didn't exhibit his conversational talent as he had last time. He asked everyone to briefly introduce themselves, then tactfully excused himself, leaving the space to the command staff of the new unit. Since he had only briefly introduced their responsibilities and focused only on the Executive Officer, Kleist, Morin suggested everyone get properly acquainted. “Richard von Eltztal! Previously served…

Chapter 156: My God, It’s MG14, Sir!

by karlmaks — In that instant, Morin understood that the disguise of their small group was about to be exposed. He did not hesitate in the slightest, nor did he make any superfluous movements. Almost at the same moment the Captain opened his mouth to question Manstein, the hand resting on Morin’s thigh had quietly flicked off the safety of his MP14 Submachine Gun. He opened the car door and stepped out, simultaneously activating with a gesture and a simple incantation. A layer of pale blue, translucent…

Chapter 187: Keyword: Spellcaster, Submachine Gun, Flanking

by karlmaks — The truck bumped over the cobblestone streets, speeding toward the 1st Company’s defense sector. When Morin arrived at the 1st Company’s temporary company headquarters, only a few signals men and clerks were busy working nervously. A clerk saw Morin and quickly came forward. “Battalion Commander! Why have you come yourself? Sergeant Major Klaus is at the front line!” Morin nodded, not stopping, and walked straight through the building serving as the company headquarters, toward the…

Chapter 219: Air Battle

by karlmaks — “Their defensive works appear to be very effective.” A Spellcaster said in a deep voice via a communication wristband: “Conventional airburst shrapnel is ineffective against enemies hiding in Trenches.” “Then give them a few more rounds!” The leading Spellcaster was obstinate, guiding three more rounds of bombardment. The results were still unsatisfactory. The Saxons were like unkillable moles; one batch was blasted down, and another immediately popped up. The pace of the digging was slowed…

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 134 The Archduke, Time to Get in the Car

by karlmaks — “This version was a redesign I did after listening to your suggestion last time, Boss.” Helga picked up the prototype gun with the bottom-inserted magazine and handed it to Morin. “I thought carefully about the center of gravity shift issue you mentioned last time, and it definitely exists... so I made this new design. I wanted to see how the practical effect would be.” Morin took the gun, weighed it, and performed a few aiming drills. Helga truly inherited her family's excellent…

Chapter 166: Seizing Charleroi by Storm

by karlmaks — Morin already felt things were turning bad when he heard the distinct sound of automatic weapons firing in the gunfire. And the red unit tokens constantly refreshing on the system map confirmed his intuition. The unit serving as the forward security detachment was the 1st Company's 1st Platoon, who had engaged the enemy at the northern bridgehead of a bridge by the river. Judging by the unit designation displayed on the enemy token——they were indeed the garrison troops who had broken out from…

Chapter 198: Pack Me 200 Roasted Pig Knuckles

by karlmaks — von Bulow and Ludendorff’s expressions froze once again. And Morin, on the other side, continued: “The first day I noticed something was wrong and sent a Dispatch Rider back, you sent me just one Field Artillery Battalion, and for the next two days, there was no other support.” “You left one battalion of mine at the front to hold off an Army Group? Fine! Even if Charleroi City could only deploy a maximum of one division, that’s still a disparity of over 1:10!” “Esteemed Generals,…

Chapter 230: A Strange Dream

by karlmaks — Master Albert grew more agitated as he spoke, his functional right hand fiercely gripping Field Marshal John French’s arm. “We are the Highland Mages of the Holy Britannian Empire! Our lives are meant to defend the glory of the Empire and the Corps, not to be wasted against the Saxon War Machines for this damned piece of Gallic earth!” John French was left speechless by Albert’s impassioned words. He wanted to object but found himself unable to utter a single word, because everything Albert said…
