114 – Ukrnian Wave (3)
Diabola No. 1 And No. 2 Ships, Zeppelin and Lewandowski took the 1st and 3rd companies, respectively, and flew toward the dawn sky.
Through reports from small naval ships and fishing boats roaming the area, we were able to locate the Azov ironclad without difficulty.
At the time of dawn again over the vast coastline.
The ironclad ship in question fell completely into Ukrnian hands.
The 8th Assault Magical Infantry Combat Team descended on the city and ripped off a regiment.
No matter how many people there are in one ironclad ship, there is no problem in taking control of the ship just by putting in one company.
“The operation is a success.”
“Okay, then let’s get hold of Portmork from now on.”
Azov’s harbor defense forces, who thought they were allies, were immediately attacked by two ironclad ships that suddenly appeared in the offshore.
Azov, completely panicked and not even knowing why his allies were attacking them, had to flee into the city.
“The 8th Assault Magic Infantry Combat Team descends!”
“The 1st and 3rd TF Battalions successfully landed!”
Thanks to this, the troops of the Special Response Brigade that entered the port were able to enter the port almost bloodlessly.
There was resistance from the enemy, but it was not strong.
Of course, it was also thanks to the spirited artillery fire of Roxanna Elim, who led the Enoch fire support ship and successfully carried out a preemptive strike.
It was also thanks to the fact that the two ironclad ships completely blocked the support from the western port after grasping the situation.
I thought only Azov was using such a sweet thing.
I personally cast the four warships, Djoldera, and the troops of one infantry regiment were powerless in front of the overwhelming fire support of a total of 18 guns.
So Portmork was blockaded.
As promised by Brigadier Sonny Zeppelin, he handed over most of the command of the blockading force to be put into the Eastern Port.
After closely grasping the organization and combat capabilities of each battalion, I deployed personnel in the right place at the right time to deploy a triple defense line.
The premise is different from the defensive line that the 2nd Regiment, which landed in Maniopole, hastily built in response to a sudden attack.
I feel very sorry for the residents of Portmorque, but they shelled the residential area adjacent to the defense line and made it flat.
Naturally, a boundary line made up of the remains of collapsed buildings was created between the road leading to the eastern port and the central city.
It is now possible to force the dire situation that Azov must carve out terrain where there is no cover in order to project his forces into the eastern port.
Even the three Diabola boats are taking turns looking down on the battle situation from the sky, so the enemy can’t even think of a surprise attack, day or night.
“This is a report from the 2nd Mobile Battalion. Demolition of the bridge connected to the north is complete!”
“Our unit has also completed the first deployment.”
“We have just received a report that the 124th Infantry Regiment of the 32nd Division has completely driven back the enemy who was holding a sit-in on the west side of the port.”
Good news comes in as soon as the troops are deployed.
I looked at the pieces on the map and smiled lightly.
“When you came in, you were free, but not when you left.”

Reports of the full-scale invasion of the Quarnen province in the Azov Islands were, of course, quickly delivered to the Ukrnian capital, Kayev.
Because it was the king himself who gave the order to mobilize Sonny Zeppelin’s special response brigade right away.
And finally, a week after the invasion of Azov.
King Orlando Ruth III was able to reach ‘U Laos’, a large city in the Southern Quernen Territory, with the central corps under his command.
“I heard about the situation in a simple way…… Please explain in detail.”
“Yes!”
The large meeting room of Uraos City Hall, where all the principal officials of the Principality of Ukraine, including the prince, gathered.
The intelligence officer dispatched from the Southern Corps to report the war situation raised his arms and began to report the war situation so far in a solemn voice.
From the Ukrnian Western Fleet and the fact that two cities were razed by Azov within hours of the invasion, to the most recently renewed blockade of Portmork.
Since the colonel’s rank glistening on his epaulettes does not lie, he completed a series of briefings skillfully and neatly even in front of the Prince.
“So, at this point, Maniopol has been completely restored, and Portmork is completely besieged and is under pressure?”
“Yes, sir.”
“…… In addition, they captured two Azov ironclad ships?”
It was a shocking criminal record.
I already knew that Maniopol had been recaptured, but it was the first time I had heard of the complete annihilation of the 2nd Azov Regiment that occupied the city and the capture of two ironclad ships.
And above all.
It was truly surprising that most of these majors were created by Sonny Zeppelin’s Special Response Brigade.
How many victories did it take?
It is not the news of the repulsion of bandits who infiltrated across the border on a fictional day, but the ‘real victory’ that completely broke the nose of Azov, who had been fighting as a fierce enemy for more than a decade.
“It was really hard.”
King Orlando Ruth III vividly remembered how many tragedies had occurred under the reign of his father, the previous king.
His father was an old king with a great character, but he was a monarch with such a great personality that other countries also swayed him at will.
He was a Seongun (善君), but not a Minggun (明君).
As well as the Quernen War, in which the entire southern province was devastated by the rebels who were only entangled in the islands.
Unable to withstand the pressure of the empire, they brought more than half of the food produced in the country almost by force and sold it at a low price.
Thanks to this, the country’s debt was high, and the Liberal Democracy of Reinhalt and Fru gradually began to pay attention to Ukraine.
Could we hold on to the Soviet Empire? Logic called.
It may have been stable domestically, but it was never stable when the situation was turned overseas.
The Ukrnian army was constantly weakened, and even the personal armament provided to the soldiers was very weak because they could not afford the insufficient finances.
It was for this reason that the special response brigade, led by Sonny Zeppelin, was given excessive authority.
If she was her great mage, she could have paid for her military expenses, including the equipment of her brigade-level troops, at her own expense.
However, even so, Orlando Ruth III had to constantly question himself.
Is it possible to prevent the collapse of Ukraine by doing this now?
In the next few years, a war will engulf the entire continent. Being a principality surrounded by many great powers, Orlando Ruth III was acutely aware that its future was really short.
A blatant pressure from the Soviet Empire.
Appeasement from the Free Democracy of Prü.
Interference coming from the Reinhalt Empire and the Kingdom of Adalia.
The eyes of all countries on the continent were directed towards Ukraine.
One day, the moment one of them pulled the trigger, it was clear that the lead bullet would hit Ukraine first.
It was the ‘victory news’ that came in at that time.
Orlando Ruth III was not a cold-hearted person to the extent of letting go of a ray of hope reflected in a bleak future.
“The Secretary of State should proceed immediately with the awarding of medals to those who have made great contributions in this battle.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“And I hope we can provide a special meal to all those fighting on the front lines, and invite the officers and war heroes who contributed to the establishment of this revolutionary military feat to this place.”
“We will proceed with that as well, Your Excellency.”
The Secretary of State lowered his head as he spoke in a solemn voice.
To the soldiers waiting on the battlefield.
It didn’t take long for the thousands of bottles of ‘Reinhardt Sausage’ and ‘Frussan Wine’, which had piled suspiciously high in the name of a special meal, to be delivered.

“Hey, why are you pushed so far!? Aren’t you going fast? It’s urgent!!”
“Hey bastard! We are in a hurry too! Are you in a hurry?”
“What—? You know who’s riding in this carriage right now…….”
“Are you the only regiment commander? We are also riding the regiment commander, f*ck!”
“We are the division commander, you crazy bastard!!”
“I’m sorry I didn’t know. Please go ahead.”

Uraos boasted an overwhelming scale enough to be called the second largest trading city in Ukraine, but it was currently experiencing terrible traffic congestion.
Once Orlando Ruth III left the capital and stayed here in Uraos, naturally, the troops of the Central Corps were also stationed near the city.
It was because the king had summoned dozens of dignitaries and heroes to the city to congratulate him on his achievements in the previous battle and to receive information about future plans.
Of course, of course.
Many members of the Special Response Brigade, who played a leading role in the battle, were also included.
“Damn it, you should have come on a Diavola? Wouldn’t it be faster to ram it over the city and then walk?”
“What is the triumphal ceremony? Do that after occupying the Azov Islands.”
“Captain Enoch is really, really tight on this side.”
However, they didn’t just come here to receive honors.
“You have to make sure you are prepared. To break the heads of those who are holding out around the King.”
The vacuum operation against the Azov Islands.
So far, it was only being discussed at the ‘corps’ level, but since victory in Portmork was certain, someone had to carry a gun and convey their opinions to the prince.
But, of course, not only the division commanders, who were only subordinates, but even Lieutenant General Geor, the commander of the southern corps, were reluctant to tell the king about it.
Operation Vacuum.
In fact, this is the first national offensive since the Ukrnians gained autonomy from the Rus Tsar Empire.
No matter how warlike and enterprising the Southern Legion is compared to other legions.
It seemed that he decided that the risk was greater than the return to risk his career on an offensive operation that might succeed.
In the end, the ‘special special for civil servants’, in which problems that are difficult to handle are handed over to others like a bomb, was triggered here as well.
It went round and round and returned to Enoch Levandel, the original planner.
-Isn’t your boss a bit close to the King? If it were you, His Excellency would surely listen.
“Ugh.”
Sometimes when they are dismissed as Captain, and now that you are the planner, it is right for you to deal with it.
As the memories from the K-Army crossed each other, Enoch shuddered in disgust.
What.
What can I do?
All the captain, who hadn’t even been promoted to major yet, could do anything but run into it with ambition and blood.
There must be a certain major.
The archmage Sonny Zeppelin’s support fire must also be on standby.
Before turning the Azov Islands into an inferno, it would be okay to play with fire in the royal family.
Perhaps?
