The Land of Vengeance

“──Tanks Forward.”

Nasser’s well-composed voice reverberated through the moat.

The tanks answered and began to cross the river furiously.

Gyara, gyaragyaragyararararara!!

With Nasser’s instructions, the Germans moved briskly.

And in no time at all, they broke through the moat.

Despite making a dangerous noise, the Panther with Nasser on board crossed the bridge.

The only thing left to do now was to overrun them.

All that spread out before them were the inner court leading to the royal castle and the reviewing ground where Nasser once fought a duel with the Hero Koji.

Burning were the auxiliary buildings, such as the simple church and the houses of the vassals. They were built to cling to the inside of the castle walls, but Nasser was not interested in such things.

Nasser had only one goal.

Yes, the only one beyond ──── the Royal Castle.

The cosy structure caught in Nasser’s vengeful gaze was now truly exposed and unprotected.

Other ancillary installations had already been turned into piles of rubble by the artillery and fighter-bombers.

All that was left here now was the royal castle, where the king would be rattled and shaken. They were sporadically challenged by the remnants of the Kingsguard and others, but most of them were wounded soldiers and posed no threat whatsoever.

“One more step!!”

The area around the Royal Castle, once the centre of the kingdom, had been reduced to rubble, through which the tank crawlers rumbled and the grenadiers’ boots stampeded across the royal garden.

In addition, fighter-bomber were buzzing in the sky above.

A blow by aircraft, ploughed by artillery, overrun by tanks, occupied by the Grenadiers ──── This is the new military doctrine!

“Haha…..I guess now we’ll be taken as a serious threat in the kingdom.”

Invincible!

Invincible Germans!

Accompanied by them, Nasser entered the interior of the royal castle in high spirits.

There is no longer anything to stop them!

Around him, the accompanying grenadiers had their guns pointed dangerously, ready for snipers and unexpected encounters.

“Come on, we’ve caught up. What counter-attack will you make?

Or will you flee? Where will you run to?

Or are you about to beg for your life?

Hahahahahaha!”

Nasser could not wait to see all of them. He felt his body trembling with excitement.

The kingsguard and normal army were defeated.

Even the last defence battle was broken through.

There was nothing to prevent him from losing to a moat.

“──Now, Your Majesty, what more resistance can you show me?”

Come.

Come.

Come on!!!!

────Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suuuuuuuuu

“You can’t escape now! You can curl up in a ball in the corner of the castle and be scared.”

Nasser’s exclamations hummed throughout the castle. His voice could be heard from every corner.

The inside of the royal castle was no longer a safe zone, it was already a cauldron of witches.

No, it was the crucible of Nasser’s rage. 

Speaking of which.

“Almost no more resistance, eh?”

There had been heavy counter-attacks until they breached the city gates but that had now largely ceased.

Apart from the corpses of wounded soldiers, there were few corpses of the Royal Army to be seen. In short, they should be considered to have fled rather than to have been exterminated.

Nasser emerged from the cupola of the Panther tank, took the binoculars he received from the crew and checked the Royal Castle, a short distance from the forecourt where Nasser and his men were.

‘Hmmm ……?’

There was no movement in the Royal Castle.

“Are they desperately trying to barricade themselves in?”

‘Fufufu….A futile struggle…’

“Slight advance! Don’t crush the Grenadiers!”

“『Roger!!』”

Accompanied by the Grenadiers, Nasser and his men started advancing again.

The Germans were on their way inside the walled castle.

The forecourt was trampled with military boots by the Germans who gathered one after another. The next stop was the reviewing area.

Normally, this would have been a stylish garden, with a variety of flowers in bloom to delight the eyes of visitors.

A low hedge had been planted and small out-of-season flowers were showing their faces.

Gyaragyaragyara!!!

The tanks under Nasser’s command ran over its flowers and hedgerows at random.

In addition, German boots of war also laid waste to the budding shoots.

Zazzazzazzazza

The surrounding area was deserted, with only the sound of burning structural timbers burning in the aftermath of Nasser and his men’s attack.

Zazzazzazzazza

The Royal Castle of the Land of the Heroes ────, which would normally have been the height of luxury and splendour. Now it was in a pitiful state of disrepair.

This is retribution.

This is mortal sin.

This is rapture!

Zazzazzazzazza──!!

Nasser and his armies passed through the forecourt without any emotion.

Only a messy, muddy former garden remained in its wake.

Nasser suddenly remembered.He had actually set foot in this place more times than he could count. 

When he was once a member of the Royal Army, he was reviewed by the King on the day he was assigned to a field division. ────

And the day he was forced to duel with the Hero Koji. ────

Finally, today.

Today at this time.

It only took 3 battles on the same day the Germans were  being summoned to turn the Royal Castle into rubble.

And the next time the Royal Castle would not be able to be visited again.

At any rate, today ──── the Royal Castle would disappear. There would be no trace of it.

To be seen for the last time.

The gardens used to be full of colourful flowers.

Now they had been ploughed back by shells. They had been dug up by tank crawler caterpillars. It was now covered with the guts of men and horses blown up by bombs.

The houses that had been filled with opulent structures and inhabited by important ministers and distinguished knights──

──were now only burning under the concentrated fire of rocket-propelled grenades. Even the householders and slaves could not escape the attack.

The large, clean and majestic reviewing ground was once lined with a large number of soldiers who were ordered to defeat the Demon King.

Now, a hole was seen on the ground and the main forces of the Kingsguard were scattered around a crater that was opened by a large 1-tonne bomb.

The castle, with its many spires and abundant use of rare marble and other materials, shone in chalk and was a perfect harmony of solidity and beauty, full of power and beauty enough to make you think that it was worthy of being a castle in the land of the brave──

──From now on, the place would be turned into a pile of rubble. 

Zazzazzazzazza──!!

Zazzazzazzazza──!!

Zazzazzazzazza──!!

“Forward! Forward! Forward!”

“『Go!March!Forward!!』”

──Forward!Forward!Forwardddddddd!!!!!

Zazzazzazzazzazzazz!!

Germans advance.

Advance fantasy.

Germans advance.

Forward to fantasy.

German troops advance.

Moving forward with fantasy

[TL: ドイツ軍が前進する。/ ファンタジーを前進する。repeated 3 times and ファンタジーを/に/と]

Improbable sights, improbable scenery and improbable landscapes.

The black-robed army overran the world of swords and magic with tanks and machine guns in their hands.

The soldiers of the Kingdom’s army, who appeared as if they remembered, boldly slashed at them but they were hit by concentrated fire and turned into nothingness.

A magician who started chanting to finish them off from a distance was blown to pieces by a shell from far away.

Agonising cries could be heard everywhere

The royal castle was now overrun.

7.92mm bullets and 75mm shells were everywhere. Buildings were half destroyed and living things were torn to shreds.

The scream of Schmeisser shooting down the fleeing wounded soldiers and servants.

[MP40, but the allies call it Schmeisser after the inventor named Hugo Schmeisser]

The garden’s stylish pavilion collapsed under shell fragments.

The Royal Army seemed to have been lurking in the shadows but their equipment was haphazardly left behind.

…..slowly the people’s voices were becoming more and more distant.

“Annihilated…..no,──── escaped, didn’t they?”

‘There must have been the Kingsguards, renowned for being the strongest, but where are they? They couldn’t have been wiped out in a field battle. There must have been some survivors.’

“…..were they really out in full force? They didn’t even leave behind the castle reserves…….?”

‘……It is not impossible……Then the Kingsguard Corps can be ignored.’

Although Nasser had no judgement, he had tanks, engineers and an armoured Grenadier company.

There was nothing to be said for the Kingsguard Corps, which was now fully wounded.

“…. let’s get this over with quickly.”

If the castle soldiers were gone, that would be convenient.

Nasser was going to blow up the whole castle but now, he might have to locate them and sweep them up first.

“Because I’ll be damned if I’m not going to punch the King in the face again, as hard as I can.  I also have to beat that little dirty ass to the moon.”

And…

And this, and that, and a whole lot more! 

Nasser got to do it, he’s got to do it, they’ve got to do it!

Yes, Of course!

──── Nasser Virginia is here to return the favour!
