    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.


    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.

    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


    <div>


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


    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.


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


    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.


    "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.


    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.


    "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


    <div>


    "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.


    <div>


    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.


    <div>


    Volciste Empire


    Capital magic research center


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


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


    "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.


    "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.


    "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.


    "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


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


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


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

    8th passage 1 Ogdea 1650


    Kingdom of Elose secret location


    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.


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


    "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.
