209 – Chariot, Chariot, Magician, Chariot (2)
“The Prue Mountain Division is truly the best. Could I have been chosen by Vice Admiral Sonny Zeppelin for nothing? No matter how prepared Adaliya is, there is no way it will collapse easily.”
Brigadier General Josef Lewandowski nodded his head naturally. Come to think of it, he was someone who had completed training in the Pru Mountain Division.
The doctrine learned then was applied to the current training course for Uk ranian special agents.
In hindsight, Adaliya was no different from being frustrated because she couldn’t break through the defense line of the Uk ranian special agents.
It sounds like an idiot, but if we put it into our side, maybe it’s not that idiotic?
Moreover, the Navy and its Air Corps were doing quite a remarkable job.
You guys sent out the air corps, bombed only the military port, and then disappeared?
This level of acrobatic bombing is impossible unless the level of proficiency of the air corps is quite high.
If it was not even a monoplane like World War II, but a World War I-level biplane that succeeded in bombing this much…….
It should be able to compete against the Uk ranian air corps led by Roxanna Elim.
‘The non-aggression pact might rather have saved Uk ran.’
Thanks to the disastrous defeat of the offensive before the Soviet Empire became powerful, Uk ran was being treated as a ‘powerful’ by countries around the world.
Adalilla’s Prime Minister, Benito Anciano, was a warmonger, but that’s why he was even more reluctant to open a two-sided front.
If we really underestimated the Uk ran, we would not only have defeated the Prüt naval port, but also wiped out our troops stationed in the Azov Islands.
Therefore, the fact that Adaliya was an aggressor who invaded and attacked the border remained unchanged.
Since the actual damage was all at Prue’s naval port, all we could do was deliver a strong protest to the King’s side.
A double-sided wire is also burdensome.
From now on, if anyone touches it, they bluff that they will kill anyone, even if they blow air into their chest and make their body bulky.
The moment it is revealed that it is water muscle that is not as hard as expected, Uk ran’s current diplomatic line will be shattered.
A situation where you have to take care of it properly and punish it appropriately.
I wish the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uk ran, who are still being torn apart, rest in peace.
“By the way, in addition to our new formations, the 87th division commander, who is busy being called to various government departments, what is going on with the special operations team?”
“Are there any 3rd class mages in the 1st Assault Brigade that can be recruited for a while?”
“Level 3?”
At my words, Joseph scratched his head next to me.
“Level 3 was widespread. But why is it 3rd grade? There are also 2nd and 1st grade.”
Uk ran had a fairly high proportion of mages relative to its population.
It was also because they had been conscripted from the beginning, even 5th to 4th grade mages, who were not even treated anywhere else.
Even considering that, it is true that the ratio of combat magicians is high compared to other countries.
“Because we only need an ambiguous level 3 manpower.”
“…… It looks like you’ve made something weird again. Is there something else besides the cruising tank you raised the demand for last time?”
“Cruising tanks don’t need magicians. It’s because we’re planning to use a slightly different concept from the Dnure and Dussin tanks, which we mainly use in the first place.”
“Then why is the mage belonging to the special forces…… ?”
I gave the correct answer to Joseph, who had an expression that he couldn’t get a sense of.
“We will need anti-tankmen in the future.”

Now that we were clearly entering a time of war, each country had some level of tank strength.
Not only the Denur and Dussin, a collaboration between Uk ran and Prüh, but also tanks such as the Bertrand T of the Soviet Empire and the Panzer 3 of Reinhardt.
Of course, it’s still in its infancy, and its armament and armor are a bit far from what we commonly think of as a ‘tank’.
The problem is that when the war begins in earnest, all kinds of wacky tanks start to appear as the industrial power of all countries is drained.
Typically, there is the Imperial Katerab V tank in Sobi.
A heavy tank with a 30-caliber main gun and insane defense with 75mm of frontal armor.
With the current industrial power of Uk ran, it was impossible to make a tank capable of fighting such a madman.
If the Soviet Empire had pushed forward with the Caterab tank instead of Bertrand, the defensive operation would have changed dramatically.
But just because it’s impossible doesn’t mean you can’t just suck one side of your finger.
If you couldn’t produce that heavy tank, you could assign a hunter separately.
Just like the Germans on the African front facing Matilda tanks!
“Glory to the motherland.”
“Glory, long time no see. Lieutenant Colonel Debra Bennett.”
So I visited the Uk ranian Defense Project Headquarters.
Like Lumia Bluet and other platoon members, another bond from the 3rd Battalion.
She once served as a TF officer for the Tsushima Thermal Power Plant at the Ministry of War, and is currently in charge of the Firepower Business Department at the Defense Business Headquarters.
The reason why a lieutenant colonel was assigned to the firepower division was partly because she had created such an incredible weapon system.
The hard-kill type of magic defense technique she devised was installed on Diabola, and she successfully defended against enemy anti-aircraft attacks on the Serkiu and Haraneu frontlines last time.
Now, the formula itself is miniaturized and is even being improved to be mounted on a deusaeng tank.
The reason I immediately appointed her to the Tsushima Firepower TF at the War Ministry was the result based on her genius.
And now that I have resigned from the War Ministry.
She was also assigned to the Defense Project Headquarters in the War Ministry, and she was placed in a position to review various magical firepower sub-weapons.
“The warden is still the same.”
“Well, it’s only been a few months.”
“Among the people I know, there is no one who went to the battlefield and came back young… ….”
“Because the battlefield is my constitution.”
The lieutenant colonel stuck out his tongue in disgust at my joke.
“Anyway, I also succeeded in producing the anti-tank mage firearms you requested. Let’s go straight to the demonstration site.”
“Good.”
She took the lead with her stride in her shot.
“How is Colonel Bell Meyer?”
“I hear that you have been appointed as the newly created Combat Medical Brigade Commander.”
“Really, that condolence… ….”
Debra shook her head.
The two who were in the ranks of sergeant and lieutenant when they were in the 3rd battalion in the past, have now switched up and down to colonel and lieutenant colonel five years later.
But Debra Bennett, who was initially obsessed with achievements and promotions, is now somewhat philosophical.
“Because it’s the style of buying and struggling.”
“Isn’t the lieutenant colonel going out to the field? If you have an idea, go to our division…….”
“Oh, I’m not going!!”
The sight of him screaming like he had a seizure made me burst into laughter.
She’s already she’s the one she’s been grinding under me.
As much as she realized that a high rank in the unstructured Uk ranian military required a sense of responsibility that would crush her shoulders.
Debra Bennett at some point became a model of a realistic career soldier who pursues a war label rather than a promotion.
“You know that, too. Research is more my calling than the field.”
“I know.”
“But actually, that doesn’t feel like a vocation anymore… …. Even if it wasn’t for the war, the application for discharge had already been filed…….”
It was something I could not have imagined five years ago. After all, five years ago, no one could have imagined the situation unfolding in Uk ran today.
The place we arrived at while chatting was a large test field behind the Defense Project Headquarters.
The pits dug in the form of trenches were visible everywhere, and the targets of various sizes, from small arms to tank guns, placed on them were impressive.
“Oh…… It looks like the backyard of the 3rd battalion.”
“Isn’t it definitely different from when we played with the scarecrow?”
She muttered as if recalling her memories.
“Anyway, this is the anti-tank magic weapon AS-1. It is commonly known as Arha’s staff.”
“That’s a nasty naming.”
Arha’s staff.
It seems like a nickname I’ve heard a lot, but unlike that big and burly one, the size of the AS-1 was just as small as an infantry weapon.
This was because the AS-1 did not require extra ammunition.
As the saying goes, an anti-tank weapon exclusively for magicians.
“We are also developing a weapon that uses gunpowder to fire even if there is no magical power…… First of all, this is all that went into mass production. Would you like to shoot once?”
Debra Bennet handed over Ar-Ha’s wand that was on her desk.
“When I tested against 30 third-class mages dispatched from the Special Operations Command, the red mage had the highest firepower, and the yellow mage had the lowest firepower. Blue, purple, and green were all flat.”
They were the manpower that I had previously requested from Josef Lewandowski.
You’ve already successfully completed the actual test, it’s fast.
“The chanting magic is Blaze Ballista. Because it is an intermediate level magic, even a 3rd level mage can use it without difficulty.”
“What is the range?”
“300M is the effective range.”
“It’s pretty good.”
“It’s a virtual magic tool that only strengthens the existing magic anyway.”
Debra Bennett added that.
Perhaps even if a proper anti-tank weapon comes out, if you want to break through the caterab tank, you must unconditionally use the side or rear.
It is clear that you must approach within 100m.
Forcing the infantryman to approach within 30m of the tank is practically the same as telling him to commit suicide, so it won’t be used unless it’s the worst situation.
But with 300m, the story is a bit different.
Similarly, it was the same distance to be torn to death by shells or machine guns, but it was enough distance to escape quickly at the same time as a surprise attack.
I placed her AS-1 on her shoulder and focused her eyes on the end of her square scope.
And slowly, mana was released.
A red haze rose in front of his eyes, and he felt mana charging through his fingers into the long drawn muzzle.
And finally.
Keying, PAANG!
The Blaze Ballista, amplified by the spell engraved inside, shoots in a straight line.
Looks like a firebird flying in.
In less than a second, Blaze Ballista landed on a tank-shaped target—.
Quaaang!!
With a massive firestorm, the target was literally reduced to ashes. To the point where they mistakenly thought that a nuclear explosion had occurred in an instant.
“…… Is it like this?”
I asked Debra Bennett, looking dumbfounded, and she answered, placing her forehead on her chin with one of her hands.
“Crazy, really!! The warden didn’t adjust his strength, so even the internal control stamp was smashed! The last time the Dnure tank started up, it smashed the engine that was working fine!!”
“No, it’s not my fault, isn’t this weapon not that strong…… ?”
“Chief Enoch Levandel, this is for ordinary mages. It’s not for Undun Grand Mage like the Warden!! Then the warden should have controlled his strength!”
With tears in his eyes, the lieutenant colonel snatched the AS-1 from me and held it tightly in his arms.
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
Somehow, when I was a second lieutenant, it reminded me of the time when I broke the wall of the official residence with a fireball.
