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 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 171: Ludendorff, Where Are My Reinforcements?!

by karlmaks — “What is it, Captain?” Léo’s Aide-de-Camp, a young Lieutenant, rode closer. “Nothing.” Léo shook his head, forcing himself to refocus on the mission ahead. According to the orders of Colonel Molière, Commander of the 4th Cuirassier Regiment, the maneuver along the Sambre River from the southeast of the city was a classic cavalry tactic, using mobility to bypass the enemy’s front and attack or reconnoiter from a weak flank/rear. But for some reason, Léo felt this decision was…

Chapter 203: Rest and Tachanka

by karlmaks — “You—” John French was shaking with rage. This was a bunch of lunatics! A group of madmen whose minds were warped by supposed ‘honor’ and the ‘offensive’! It was simply impossible to communicate with them! The first round of meetings thus ended in acrimonious disagreement. The more serious issue was that the meeting was over, yet not a single word had been discussed about the most crucial questions: how the Expeditionary Force should deploy next, and how to coordinate with the Gallic…

Chapter 235: Only the Last Link is Missing

by karlmaks — At the edge of South Amiens, a relatively intact municipal building was temporarily requisitioned as the joint command post. Mackensen, Ludendorff, and the Generals of various Corps and the Assault Battle Group gathered together. On the huge map temporarily hung on the wall, the blue arrows representing the Saxon Army had completely clamped down on the red markers representing the Britannian forces. “Generals, the Battle of Amiens appears largely decided!” a staff officer reported with high spirits:…

Chapter 267: Gungnir

by karlmaks — The man who jumped off the train was about forty years old, tall, and had a resolute face. "Your Excellency Grand Master Leonia!" The Colonel immediately spotted the most noticeable person in the crowd, Leonia, quickly walked up, and gave her a crisp military salute. "Colonel Lucas," Leonia nodded in return. "This must be the famous Captain Friedrich Morin, yes?" Colonel Lucas then turned his attention to Morin, a warm smile on his face. "It is an honor to finally meet you! I am Lucas…

Chapter 331: This Moment is Worth Remembering

by karlmaks — For safety reasons, before vaulting out of the trench, Morin actually cast a 【Mage Armor】 on himself. Although the atmosphere had reached this point, entrusting his life to the enemy's mercy was clearly not his style. The touch underfoot was soft and slippery; it was soil repeatedly soaked with blood and rainwater. Morin steadied his posture and walked step by step toward the broken tree stump. The wind and snow of Christmas Eve hit his face with a slight stinging sensation, cooling his…

Chapter 363: Dusty Past

by karlmaks — Victor von Heinrich didn't pay attention to Morin, but continued to maintain that somewhat arrogant posture, leaning on his bone staff and turning to walk deep into the corridor on his own. In his view, explaining an exquisite magical concept like "underlying logic" to a Saxon soldier like Morin was tantamount to casting pearls before swine. However, after noticing the traces of spells on Morin, he still stopped and looked back at Morin. "Your Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel is also a…

Chapter 182: Unspecified Combat Strength (Part 2)

by karlmaks — After the forward observers returned and sent back news that the Gallic infantry had begun to advance, Morin also accompanied the soldiers of the 1st Company to the outermost defense line of the city. He then realized he had slightly underestimated the Gallic ‘Mademoiselle 75.’ Looking at a two-story building that had half collapsed, he couldn't help but sigh that the 15-minute bombardment was more powerful than he had imagined. Although the houses in Charleroi City were mostly stone and brick,…

Chapter 214: Mission Objective: Annihilation

by karlmaks — Just as the remaining Dispatch Rider was about to fall asleep waiting, a few figures finally appeared on the distant road. When he saw five people cycling slowly back, the Dispatch Rider reacted as if he had seen a long-lost relative. He excitedly leaped up three feet from the ground, then quickly ran to Morin, who was leading, and relayed the Army Group Command Post's order again. Morin looked at the Dispatch Rider, who was so excited he was nearly crying, and was momentarily stunned. One…
