7th passage 1 Ogdea 1650

Kingdom of Elose town of Poinsettia 2pm

Time seemed to stand still around the town, and neither birds nor the sound of leaves could be heard, yet a sound persisted in the distance at the edge of the forest.

A tank division was preparing to enter the town after a heavy bombardment, and the tanks moved along the long

corridor of earth and destroyed trees when a loud explosion immobilised one of the tanks.

In the rubble of an alleyway in the town, a group of elves waited patiently and apprehensively for the enemy units to arrive.

Terror gripped their beings as the sound of the planes that had been harassing them was heard close to their position, but despite this they were more than motivated to hold their ground against the enemy.

As they each retrieved grenades from a crate, a metallic noise approached their position from behind.

"The Dionas have arrived."

The elves immediately turned to look at the vehicles coming towards them [https://img.wattpad.com/95352a33aba26cff00ad7b80e6df58dab0c31fd5/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f674f366c74697a556e5948394f773d3d2d313430303334363233322e3137396161313530643936346162663837363430303138323635332e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

The elves immediately turned to look at the vehicles coming towards them.

The armoured vehicles spewed a great deal of black smoke as they crossed the alleyway.

Placing themselves in a ranger behind a pile of debris, the elves were warned of the imminent arrival of the armoured vehicles coming out of the minefield.

"Prepare to resist, we are the last rampart before the capital, if we have to retreat in the face of the enemy each put metre cost them more than victory, if we fall the country falls with us." An officer declares.

As the officer finished his speech far ahead of them at the junction of the alleyway and the main road, the cannon of an tank began to emerge, gradually giving way to the rest of the tank.

"Fire!!!" Bellowed a soldier aboard the Dionas.

As quickly as could be said, the three Dionas fired their salvo in the direction of the enemy tank. Of the three shell in the salvo, only two hit their targets, while only one hit the tension pulley immobilising the tank.

Having just stopped, the tank began to turn its turret.

"It's time!" Shouted the soldiers before each in turn throwing their grenade towards the underside of the immobilised vehicle.

The explosion sounded the death knell for the vehicle's turret, but it wasn't long before enemy soldiers emerged from behind the destroyed vehicle.

The elves welcomed them swiftly with a shower of crystals, piercing through the less fortunate, while the demons retaliated with formidable fire spells.

Under the watchful eye of their commander, the demons are gradually infiltrating the town and don't hesitate to enter the network of tunnels hidden in the walls.

"This bastard elf is using his cowardly tactics to beat our troops." He complained.

"I hope I don't need to ask for support from a Peacekeeper." He thought to himself as he noted the slow progress of these troops.

"Commander." Interrupted a soldier returning from the communications tent.

"What's going on?" He asked as he saw the usually calm demon becoming agitated.

"We've just deciphered a communication from the elves that says reinforcements are heading for the city."

"Again, but it never stops, we're already having trouble moving forward with all this..." Suddenly the commander stopped what he was saying.

"If it's just reinforcements why are you more agitated than usual?"

"It's because the reinforcements are made up of humans." He replied in a dry tone.

"Humans." He said with a sneer.

After a short moment of reflection the commander continued.

"Change the target for the planes. If they are dealing with troops much stronger than the elves, have them turn back immediately. Otherwise, let them unleash on those humans it will be a change for them." He ordered.

"I hope it's not those German troops." He muttered to himself.

Shortly afterwards the planes stopped their attacks on the town before turning away in search of the human troops.

At the same time, other armoured divisions arrived at the base camp and were also preparing to enter the town.

50 km north-west of the battle

From the top of an open hill near the capital stands a group of Mars ll waiting under the eyes of the first Rotoris prince for the green light.

"And you're telling me that this weapon can bombard the demons besieging the city of Poinsettia from this position?" The prince asked in astonishment.

"Of course, the system can destroy ground targets with great precision." Explained one of the soldiers.

After a few minutes the group received the green light. ~All targets have reached the position.~ Declared a voice over the radio.

Once the information had been given, the soldiers escorted the Prince away from the device, accompanied by some nobles.

When the crowd was at a distance, the Mars ll moved into position in the direction of the target area before firing their salvos.

In just one minute, all the missiles were fired, astonishing the prince and the nobles, who barely had time to see the missiles leave the horizon.

later town of Poinsettia

In the surrounding mountains, in a place where the giant trees were completely absent, a small group of soldiers kept out of sight a truck equipped on the roof with a half sphere of the most crimson red on which to turn a metal plate, while the outside had a rather relaxed atmosphere inside the truck a small group of demons worked hard to observe the display screens in front of them, it was at this moment that one of the demons spat out what he had in his mouth.

"What the hell is this?" He said in a panic as he watched a multitude of dots in close formation flying at speeds never seen before.

"Quickly alert the base camp! Unknown aircraft are heading in their direction at insane speeds." He barked at the communication operator.

At the base camp, the news circulated very quickly and the soldiers rushed to the anti-aircraft defences.

"Do you think it's wyverns?" A soldier asked naively.

"I'd like to but apparently it goes a lot faster than the fastest of our planes." Replied another soldier.

The various conversations came to a halt when a loud bang was heard in front of them, followed quickly by others, so that within moments all the tanks that had arrived earlier were nothing more than smoking wrecks.

"I can't see anything in the sky!!!" Screamed panicked soldiers, before more explosions hit them, sending them from life to death.

Everyone was speechless as they watched the entire base camp explode from the top of the mountain, completely helpless as the scene unfolded before their eyes.

"Not even the shield could withstand such an onslaught." Muttered a soldier as he turned towards the truck.

After the astonishment, everyone went back to their posts, only to notice that every plane in the air was being shot down one after the other.

"What are we up against?" The soldiers thought to themselves, totally helpless.

___

The fighting in the town seemed to freeze after the explosions, the demons watching in horror as their base camp was blown to ashes and others in complete denial tried to make contact with them, but it wasn't long before they were fighting again, this time with even more rage.

Under this rage, some elves had to fall back for fear of being caught in a pincer movement, but all had regained hope.

"Are the reinforcements almost here?" Asked a soldier watching the wreckage of the enemy camp from the top of a tree.

"No, they won't be here until around 2P 240 (4pm)." Another soldier replied.

After about thirty minutes, the peculiar sound of a plane was heard.

Contrary to what some people thought, the plane didn't stay long before leaving from where it had come.

The fighting was still raging in the town, but it was clear that both armies were exhausted.

It was only a short time later that a group of vehicles began to be seen very close to the town, splitting into three groups, one of which was heading for the town gate.

"Reinforcements have arrived." Declared a soldier on the wall, seeing no one nearby he rushed towards the crate lying not far from him before grabbing the pistol inside and firing into the sky, sending up a flare that was visible to everyone in the city.

After a few minutes a small group of soldiers had gathered at the gates of the southern entrance, allowing them to see a large group of various vehicles, all of them much further advanced than the decoys.

"So this is what the summoner's weapons look like." Murmured one of the soldiers, observing all the vehicles in front of them.

"Die, you long-eared bastard." Shouted a demon stabbing an elf repeatedly.

"What are you talking about, we've got ears as long as theirs. Replied his comrade.

"You're right, but I can't face all these elves any more, they're far too persistent. He replied to his comrade.

"Don't worry, new troops will be arriving to help us, we just have to hold out until dawn." Replied his comrade.

They were quickly pulled out of their conversation as the street was shaken by the sudden explosion of a tank about twenty meters from their position, creating a large cloud of smoke. But once the smoke cleared, they saw it was unreal, yet another tank stood before them.

"We have to warn the others, it's not just humans who have come it's a real threat." They muttered in shock.

After regaining their composure, they fled as quickly as possible towards the temporary base.

"I've had one." Declared soldier after shooting a human who was assisting the elves directly in the head.Since the arrival of reinforcements, the demons have been steadily losing ground to the elves and humans, and simply destroying an enemy tank was costing them an enormous amount of ammunition, where as on the other hand it was a simple matter.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Night had fallen and the city was now bathed in darkness, but despite this the fighting continued to the great nightmare of the demons, who had great difficulty in seeing their target.

"How do they do it? They're only human but they can see much better than us at night." Complained other demons.

The darkness allowed the elves to rest after spending the whole day fighting demons, and although the Germans and elves didn't understand each other, they didn't hesitate to share a moment of conviviality with each other before returning to the battle.

It took another 2 hours before the last demons surrendered, completing the siege of the town and allowing the elves and Germans to defend the remains of the northern wall for the night.

8th passage 1 Ogdea 1650

holy empire Falsile places unknown

The Holy Empire of Falsile is a millennia-old theocracy advocating for the supremacy of humanity, convinced that their god has given them a divine quest to purify the world of all races that taint human purity.

However, their project takes a completely different turn when war forces them to make a truce with the Federation of Beastmen in Irossa.

Since the catastrophe of the invocation, as many now call it, Germany has found itself spending a great deal of money on prospecting for oil in large quantities and easily accessible from the country.

All the companies in charge of the research have turned to the Falsile Empire, where everything seems to point to the presence of abundant oil resources.

Given the high priority of oil as a resource, research had been accelerated.

Drilling often began while the construction of sites was still underway, and other steps were also skipped.

But close to the river of fertility, better known in Germany as the river Elbe, stood a Derrick tower rising out of the surrounding greenery, standing out against the countryside.

"There are 3 bars left." These were the words of the workers as they dismantled segments of the drill string.

After several days of drilling, it was now clear that oil was to be found at this point, the various depth samples were formal about its presence at depth.

After an hour, the drill bit finally came out of the hole and with it the core sample that the geologists had been waiting for.

A few minutes after the drill bit came out, oil began to gush out of the hole at a slow rate.

Following the upsurge, a small group approached the researchers.

"It seemed to me that you were not using magic." Interrupted the observer from the empire.

The geologists and scientists were troubled by the man's statement.

Noting the questioning look on the team's faces, the man finally approached the drilling where the oil was slowly flowing before retrieving a piece.

Once a piece of oil was collected, he signaled one of the people accompanying him to come closer.

The woman, dressed in religious attire, held a box containing a yellowish crystal.

When the woman got close, he picked up the crystal, which began to glow brightly when it came into contact with the oil.

"That's how I felt." He declared, placing the crystal back in his assistant's hand.

"This is a mana detector, more commonly known as a madon in countries that have managed to perfect its operation. This crystal can therefore detect the slightest trace of mana in anything that comes into contact with it, and although the presence is weak, the crystal detects thepresence of magical particles in this famous oil." He explained.

The geologists and scientists looked at each other thoughtfully before a geologist stepped forward.

"To answer your question, it's true that we don't use magic, but for the moment I assume that this oil has contained the magic present in the organisms that enabled it to be created." He replied, covered in doubts and questions.

somewhere in the north sea

On the deck of a trawler Natali Stricker was now watching the nets being gradually hauled aboard.

"There are so many and it's only the beginning of the day." She wondered as she watched the net filled with a variety of fish, all of substantial size.

Since the summoning, the revenue of each ship had continued to increase, while the waters teemed with fish.

Despite these moments of abundance, doubts remained as a few days earlier the government had announced a plan to fit out several civilian ships with torpedo tubes and other weapons in order to secure the waters, which had become much more dangerous from outside.

"What's that thing?" Asked a sailor as he observed a strange fish with a horn on its head, reminiscent of a narwhal.

The sailor bent down to pick up the fish, which he now held in both hands, looking at it with a puzzled expression.

The fish kept wriggling and struggling before a loud sound wave burst from the fish's horn, shattering the windows and causing tinnitus for the poor sailor, who dropped the fish on the floor, before in a hurry another sailor guts the fish to no longer endure the auditory suffering.

Volciste Empire

Capital magic research center

The magical research centre of the Volciste Empire was a gigantic research complex bringing together the Empire's best mages.

This place was conducive to the discovery and study of a whole range of magical fields, producing hundreds of studies and discoveries every year.

While the center operated as usual, at the farthest end of it lay a series of buildings where only a few mages had the honor of entering.

Their research, often related to the military domain, was a source of fantasies and coveting for young mages.

Inside one of the hangars in this series were mages working diligently on completely disassembled technologies from Germany.

All the equipment that had been recovered was in this building, carefully studied by the mages.

"This is very interesting." Said a small group of magicians, some of whom were holding in their hands a box resembling a Geiger counter, while the others were taking notes as they observed the inert machine.

While everyone was busy with their research, a voice was heard coming from the other end of the building.

"Eureka!!" Shouted one of the researchers, intrigued by this excess of mood the others went to see what had excited him so much.

"What is it?" Asked one of them, observing the researcher with a spectroscope and a myriad of liquids in different vials.

"I've finally found it, the liquid used in those German planes." He replied happily.

Then the researcher turned around and took two vials from his workbench, one with a transparent liquid and the other blue.

"This vial contains a derivative of the black water produced by the dwarves to make their lamps work." He explained, pointing to the clear vial.

"While this one contains the fuel used in German planes, despite its blue colour, you too have noticed that it is nothing like our fuel." He continued.

"After countless attempts with various liquids, I was able to determine with certainty that their aircraft also operates with a derivative of these black waters." This left the other magi in deep thought.

"I thought that all we could do with this black water was to caulk boats and powering mere lamps." The mages said to each other before one of them finally spoke.

"That's all well and good, but there's one detail that puzzles me, all black water contains a certain amount of Naoil even after it's been modified, so why haven't the Madons detected the mana that Naoil usually emanates?"

The mage looked at them before grinning widely.

"I forgot to mention that their fuel doesn't contain a single drop of Naoil, which is why it doesn't emanate an ounce of mana." He replied.

Everyone was stunned by the mage's discovery.

"This changes the whole idea we have about the formation of Naoil and the black waters." The mages said to each other in excitement at the news.

"They're telling the truth, you'd have to ask the government to publish such a discovery." Continued others covered in excitement.

somewhere in Germany

In Germany, since the transfer, there had been constant internal unrest, with many people crying foul that some petrol pumps had been empty for days on end with no one coming to refuel them, while others were complaining about the tougher sanitary conditions.

But recently it was another kind of movement that began to overshadow all the others, with many people crying conspiracy that the government had engineered the whole thing to deplete stocks so that it could more easily control the population without the help of nanotechnology.

"The Internet's been online for 2 days and it's already worse." Complained one person as he watched a cohort pass below his window.

"We demand an end to this dictatorial charade." Shouted some of the demonstrators holding up placards.

"I saw an account on the internet of someone who is on the run after trying to reveal to the world the deployment of a new large-scale orbital laser weapon testing on the 15th." Explained one protester to the media interviewing her.

With the gradual reactivation of the Internet, people began to converse with each other, for better or for worse. And videos showing human-looking creatures near the border spread rapidly, as did, above all, testimonies from a huge number of people saying they had seen a gigantic object flying over their town before the halo, and even seeing small men toward in the streets, Some were convinced that the Illuminati had set them up.

While others believed that the government had hidden the presence of Aliens with a gigantic orbital laser built by NASA.

The police prevented outbursts during demonstrations, but the government had taken the initiative of banning people of other races from passing near areas where there were demonstrations, and the mere presence of an elf in Hamburg had degenerated, sending a dozen demonstrators to hospital.

"This is all more than interesting." Noted a human on a street corner observing the demonstration.

"This will be pleasing news for His Majesty, that this people is tearing itself apart." Mutter the man before running off before disappearing.

8th passage 1 Ogdea 1650

Kingdom of Elose secret location

Far from the front, surrounded by the mountains of the hinterland, Prince Rotoris was led with his escort to a small house surrounded by a small clearing.

On the face of it, the house was heavily guarded by a large number of soldiers who, as the Prince approached, opened the doors wide.

"Has he done anything?" Asked the prince in a loud, cold tone.

"Of course not, Your Highness. As expected, he hasn't moved since he was brought here." Replied the soldier.

At this answer the prince put on a faint smile before entering the building, he looked left then right before going upstairs, once upstairs he headed for the only guarded room.

"It's time." He said to the soldiers who immediately stepped aside to let him pass.

The room looked like an ordinary bedroom, but on its bed was a man in white clothes, dozing.

"Hello father." The prince began in a soft tone as he gradually approached the bed.

"Yes, I know what you'd say, I shouldn't be proud it's not dignified but you see I was right." He said, chuckling slightly.

"This war had to go on, you see father if you hadn't had those fine speeches that this war was lost in advance and that it was better to surrender maybe me and the whole army wouldn't have given up on you and you'd still be really running your country." He continues, sitting down on the bed.

"Finally the country is still standing, I made it stand with my innovative ideas." The prince paused for a few seconds.

"Anyway, there's no point in telling you this any more, it's the end for you, you're no longer any use to me now that I'm sure the country will survive."

The prince finally got up from the bed and headed for the door.

"If the war had finally gone against us, I would have woken you up so that I could offer you to the demon to stop it." At that moment a sadistic look formed on his face.

"It is finally time for me father to take your crown."

The prince left the room before beckoning a doctor to enter behind him.

"I want the people to believe in a heroic death on the battlefield." He explained to his general who was waiting at the entrance.
