            <description><![CDATA[As Morin was still reminiscing, the sedan had already arrived at the temporary camp located in the suburbs of Koblenz. As soon as the car stopped, he saw Kleist and Manstein standing at the camp gate, seemingly having waited for a long time. When he pushed open the car door and jumped out, Kleist and Manstein stood at attention and saluted in unison. &#8220;Sir,…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The next morning, when sunlight spilled into the room through the gaps in the heavy curtains, Morin slowly opened his eyes. A hangover-like fatigue wrapped around him, yet his mind was unusually clear. Last night, Morin had actually kept the old military doctor&#8217;s instructions in mind, so he hadn&#8217;t forgotten to put up a token struggle at the final moment. &#8220;The military doctor said…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Morin sighed and sat up from the bed. He thought it was a manor servant or perhaps a bold lady who hadn&#8217;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…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[About half an hour later, the sedan slowly drove into the gate of a manor. The scale of the manor wasn&#8217;t particularly grand, but everywhere revealed an understated exquisiteness, clearly showing the owner&#8217;s extraordinary taste. As soon as the car stopped, a butler in a tailcoat with meticulously combed hair came forward and respectfully opened the door for him. &#8220;Good evening, Lieutenant Colonel Morin.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Morin never expected that he would end up resembling a certain &#8220;Medal Fanatic&#8221; in his lifetime. Opposite him, Albert II obviously hadn&#8217;t expected to pin so many medals on Morin in one go either. To boost morale, Albert II and the big shots of the Army finally decided to award Morin the medals on the spot. Under normal circumstances, except for medals of the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Outside Paris, the smell of gunpowder and the lingering scent of negative energy hadn&#8217;t completely dissipated. Inside the temporary camp of the First Army Group, busy figures were everywhere. The Instruction Assault Battalion had been resting in its own campsite these days, but apart from the wounded, daily training had not been neglected. Morin, Kleist, and others were handling various combat documents with the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Imperial Guard,&#8221; this term directly defined the status and affiliation of this unit. Without limiting it to specific formations like battalion, regiment, brigade, or division, but establishing it independently as &#8220;Unit X,&#8221; granted it great flexibility. The detailed planning section of the proposal also verified Albert II&#8217;s speculation. The current plan was to first expand this unit into a full-strength reinforced regiment-level unit.

            <description><![CDATA[Albert II was naturally aware that his eldest son, the Crown Prince Georg, had formed the Instruction Assault Battalion before the war and was attempting to promote army reforms. However, he hadn&#8217;t paid too much attention to it; instead, he felt gratified that Crown Prince Georg was focusing his energy on military affairs. Because before Georg began military training at the age of eighteen,…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Dresden, Royal Palace. The Saxon Empire Emperor, Albert II, was sitting alone in his spacious yet slightly empty study, carefully reviewing the final report on the Battle of Paris submitted by the General Staff. Outside the window, the faint light of dawn had already bathed the entire city, but the fatigue on the Emperor&#8217;s face remained indelible. From the perspective of the outcome, it…]]></description>

Unlike the epoch-making monsters like &#8220;Odin&#8221; and &#8220;Jormungandr,&#8221; these two armored trains were not equipped with black-tech weapons like &#8220;Gungnir.&#8221; Instead, they were conventionally equipped with naval guns removed from old warships.

No significant emotion could be seen in his deep-set eyes; he merely pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose calmly. &#8220;Proceed according to the plan.&#8221; His voice sounded more like a professor instructing students in a laboratory than a commander directing a behemoth of…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The last time Morin saw the Eiffel Tower collapse was in the movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Especially in the latter, the first-person perspective of the tower collapsing, accompanied by the BGM, had shocked him for a long time. But now, witnessing this other-worldly, magitech-modified, electricity-discharging, soul-summoning &#8220;Eiffel Tower&#8221; begin to collapse after…]]></description>

We don&#8217;t have time!&#8221; Beside &#8216;Gungnir&#8217;, a gray-haired Magitech Technician Chief was screaming himself hoarse at his assistants. Beads of sweat covered his forehead, but his hands were as steady as a rock. They were performing the final deployment and calibration for &#8216;Gungnir&#8217;. This was an extremely precise and complex process. Driven by hydraulic devices, the massive gun body slowly extended from…]]></description>

The rows of Magic Crystals and glass windows on the exterior of the tower&#8217;s summit were instantly reduced to powder as the shockwave swept past.

            <description><![CDATA[Morin looked at the last two grayed-out spell names on the system interface—spells that could be activated at any moment—and opened his mouth slightly. Then, he put his hands behind his head and laughed with relief. &#8220;Hahaha&#8230;&#8221; Necromancy spells? What kind of decent person would do this in their own capital?! During his time in Saxony, besides establishing the Instruction Assault Battalion and attending…]]></description>

When the first rays of dawn pierced the darkness and spilled over the temporary camps of the Saxon army outside Paris, the war machine, which had been silent for the night, began to turn once more.

It was more like a sharp detonation that suddenly filled everyone&#8217;s ears, making their chests feel tight and their heads dizzy. Even Morin, Leonia, Lucas, and the accompanying Magitech Engineers recording data, standing at a safe distance with their mouths open, felt the same chest constriction and…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Morin quickly led a platoon from the 4th Company toward the district where the massive explosion had occurred yesterday. After the previous day&#8217;s fighting, this area was now fully under Saxon control. When they reached their destination, everyone, including Morin, who had personally triggered the blast, was stunned by the sight. The former street with its Gallic town houses had completely vanished from the…]]></description>

The Dispatch Rider gave a wry smile: “The Battalion Commander is in the Armored Airship up there! He’s commanding us from the air!” Wolff finally understood and immediately gasped.

As he ran, he quickly glanced at the system map. Sure enough, the two red unit tokens representing the Seventh-Circle Mages immediately abandoned their focus on the bridgehead when they saw him move. They took a small squad of elite…]]></description>

After clearing the remaining enemies near the South Bank bridgehead, they finally met triumphantly with Morin, who had been waiting there. “Morin! Are you alright, you rascal!” Ludwig brought his Armored Knight to a halt, his voice booming through the loudspeaker. “Still alive!” Morin wiped the soot from his face…]]></description>

In the eyes of the two Highland Mages, dilated with utter terror, they could clearly see streaks of faint blue bullets, tracing the path of death, tearing through the mere ten meters of air separating them. Every blue gleam represented a lethal round…]]></description>

Before issuing the command, he specifically checked the system map and confirmed that large numbers of follow-up allied forces were already pouring through the breach and moving toward his position. Excellent, he wouldn&#8217;t be fighting alone behind enemy lines this time. “Ludwig, keep shelling them!…]]></description>

This was because he had never engaged an Armored Airship in combat before. Or rather, he was currently experiencing the first direct confrontation between Mages and Armored Airships in human history. Previously, the Saxons and Britannians were mutually wary of each other&#8217;s Mages and Armored Airships, but as…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“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.

Behind the Britannian Expeditionary Force’s first defense line, a cavalry patrol unit was assembled and preparing to depart. Horses snorted, and soldiers conversed in low voices, complaining about the bad taste of corned beef and the morning mist. A young cavalryman mounted his…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Morin realized at this moment that although he possessed knowledge beyond his era and the assistance of the system, he still had many shortcomings in actual command experience. And experience, in this regard, could only be gained through fighting more battles; there were no shortcuts.

            <description><![CDATA[On the eastern edge of the South Charleroi defense line, Morin arrived with Manstein and Kleist. The battle just concluded, though brief, was far more intense than anyone had anticipated. Morin watched the red unit tokens representing the Gallic Cavalry on the system map finally merge into one body and slowly retreat south, which allowed him to finally relax slightly. The 3rd Company Commander…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The soldiers of the alert unit leaped up from behind the earthen bank, no longer hesitating in the slightest, turning and sprinting toward the Charleroi urban area. Their faces were covered in gunpowder smoke and dirt. Many had wounds inflicted by sabers still bleeding, and every pair of eyes showed a mixture of fatigue and terror. But even in such a desperate state, this…]]></description>

But these dozen seconds felt as long as a century to both the offense and defense. “Open fire! Fire at Will!

Two MG14 Light Machine Guns began to fire almost simultaneously. “Da-da-da-da-da!” Two whips of fire furiously lashed toward the wall of charging cavalry three hundred meters away. A dense spray of bullets rained down. The Sergeant and all the soldiers stared intently forward, anticipating the sight of the enemy being thrown from their horses. However, the…]]></description>

The Dragoons neatly dismounted, led their beloved horses deep into the woods, and tied them to tree trunks with their reins. These well-trained warhorses were quiet. Although they heard bursts of gunfire, they only occasionally snorted, seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere before a battle. The soldiers quickly spread out along the edge of the woods with their carbines.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Morin&#8217;s gaze followed Ludendorff’s finger and landed on the name ‘Charleroi.’ He knew that this was an important border city in the Grand Duchy of Flanders and a crucial transportation hub connecting to the Gallic Republic.

            <description><![CDATA[“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&#8230; so I made this new design. I wanted to see how the practical effect would be.”…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Hearing Morin&#8217;s candid offer to poach her, Patricia couldn&#8217;t help but laugh out loud. Her emerald green eyes looked Morin up and down, as if she were seeing him anew. “Oh?” She drew out the word, the corners of her mouth curling slightly. “Is Lieutenant Morin planning to strike out on his own and challenge the Arcane Research Institute?” “It’s not that dramatic.” Morin…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Morin initially heard this sentence and was confused. He didn&#8217;t understand what this had to do with Cecilia, but as Patricia continued to explain, he roughly grasped the fucked-up situation. “Although our Saxon Empire nominally follows a development path that combines brilliant crystal technology and arcane technology, these two technical paths have existed with fierce conflict and competition alongside their cooperation.” Patricia&#8217;s tone lost…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Morin led Ludwig into the manor&#8217;s somewhat exaggeratedly spacious main hall. Crystal chandeliers hung down from the extremely high dome, and the light shining on the floor clearly reflected their figures. The moment Ludwig stepped inside, he seemed to shed his skin.

            <description><![CDATA[Morin paused, but still asked the question that concerned him most: “Madam, has the Captain’s pension been disbursed? Were there any issues?” “Yes, we have received it, Mr. Morin.” Madam Hauser nodded: “The people from the City Hall delivered it a few days ago. There were no issues. They also said that when Barnes reaches the required age, he can directly enter the military…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Good morning, Young Master Morin.” The maids quickly curtsied. “Good morning. Is there anything to eat?” Morin rubbed his still-empty stomach—he hadn&#8217;t quite eaten enough last night. “Well&#8230;” A maid answered hesitantly: “Young Master, usually at this time, the Madam has not yet woken up, and breakfast preparations are done later&#8230;” She glanced at Morin and added: “And you have never woken up this…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The smile on Cecilia’s face did not diminish. Her gray-blue eyes watched Morin quietly, as if trying to see through him completely. “Fritz, you never used to call me that.” Her voice remained soft, yet it carried an undeniable sense of intimacy that easily dissolved Morin&#8217;s awkwardness.

            <description><![CDATA[When the room fell silent again, Graham walked over to the wall. As he approached, the wall of the room gradually became transparent, eventually disappearing completely. He gazed out over the Palace of Westminster across the Thames, recalling the brief conversation he had just had. Although the surviving Mage&#8217;s words were incoherent, the information they revealed caused a slight unease within him. The Saxons&#8230;…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Seeing this information, Morin instructed Klaus to take over the training organization, while he walked aside, deep in thought.
