Chapter 52: The Last Ripple of the Cavalry Regiment

by karlmaks — “Boom!” “Rumble—!” Dull and immense explosions began to erupt one after another within the city of Seville. The earth trembled, and the houses shook, as if the end of the world had arrived. Under the desperate orders of General Sanjurjo, the last surviving Magic Crystal Cannon battery began firing indiscriminate blanket fire towards the areas in the northern part of the city where the enemy had appeared. Since no precise targeting was required, the apprentice mages did not even…

Chapter 299: Night in Koblenz

by karlmaks — Morin sighed and sat up from the bed. He thought it was a manor servant or perhaps a bold lady who hadn't gotten what she wanted at the banquet. Rubbing his slightly stiff face and putting on his polite smile again, Morin got up, walked to the door, and opened it, ready to send the visitor away with the most courteous words. However, the person standing outside the door made all the words he had prepared stick in his throat. Under the soft corridor lights, Cecilia was standing there…

Chapter 65 Magic

by karlmaks — Morin took the small notebook from the soldier, dusted off the black soot, and immediately exposed the somewhat damaged cover underneath. Flipping through it, Morin found that this was another one of the High-Level Mage's spell notes, similar to the manuals confiscated from the two Mage Apprentices. It contained research insights, casting experiences, and other information about various spells. As Morin looked through it, the system timely provided a prompt. 【Incomplete Personal Training Manual…

Chapter 76 Relief

by karlmaks — Ludwig hummed a familiar Saxon tune and poured himself half a glass more of the liquor. The level of the gin in the bottle was visibly dropping quickly. “That’s enough, enough, Lieutenant Colonel. If you drink any more, the medical sergeants are definitely going to come after me tomorrow.” Morin grabbed the bottle and twisted the cap shut. Although it originated in Flanders and was popularized in Britannia, this liquor, also known as 'Gin,' was also very popular in Saxony... especially in…

Chapter 216: I’ll Get You a Letter of Recommendation After the War

by karlmaks — “Earthworks?” one General asked with some confusion. “Exactly,” General Mackensen’s tone was unequivocal. “Since the open ground in front of the enemy’s positions lacks cover, we will take matters into our own hands and create cover for our soldiers!” “We will dig a parallel Attack Trench, and from this trench, we will dig several Communication Trenches forward, extending right up to the enemy’s position!” “We will pave a safe assault route for our attacking troops, right…

Chapter 78: Combat Records

by karlmaks — This question left Morin completely puzzled. Mackensen was, after all, an Army Lieutenant General and a familiar elder, and he was currently holding a document in his hand. Although Morin was not from a 'big province for passing the civil service exam' in his past life, he knew that this was definitely not the time to interrupt a superior... Seeing Morin’s frustrated yet hesitant look, General Mackensen continued: “I'm not a man-eating beast, why are you so afraid of me?” This time,…

Chapter 57 Penetration

by karlmaks — On the other side, Morin led his small squad quickly through the wreckage and shadows of the buildings. On the map, the markers representing both friendly and enemy forces were intertwined like dog teeth, the intensity of the battle was clear at a glance. Neither the Britannian soldiers nor the Kingdom Army soldiers had fought such complex street battles. They lacked sufficient experience and didn't think to completely control the buildings they had cleared. In their view, as long as they…

Chapter 70 Fleet Mobilization

by karlmaks — In the early morning of Montaña Port, the sun had not fully risen. A dense sea fog enveloped the entire harbor, making the distant lighthouse's light appear somewhat blurry. On the docks, rows of giant black silhouettes stood silently—the dormant steel behemoths—the warships of the Saxon Imperial Mediterranean Fleet. The entire harbor was eerily quiet, with only the rhythmic lapping of the cold waves against the steel hulls and the monotonous, regular sounding of the distant lighthouse. On…

Chapter 102: The Surviving Highland Mage

by karlmaks — Seeing this information, Morin instructed Klaus to take over the training organization, while he walked aside, deep in thought. He felt that this round of negotiations would likely yield some tangible results. Although the offensives of the past two days seemed intense, both the attacking and defending sides had, in reality, already shown their respective bottom lines... Therefore, the war was unlikely to escalate again in the short term. “Does that mean I might be returning home…
