Until the last minute, the City Watch looked up at the sky with curiosity, captivated by the majesty of two giant cigar-shaped ships, which fell under the industrial marvel as if they had been caught by a spell, and only realized that the catastrophe was coming when the ships opened their rocket launches and rained tons of death and disaster on the ground at the behest of Bach Zilevsky.

Hundreds of rockets fell from the sky to the ground with smoke screens and strange screams, and in the deafening explosion, all sorts of debris - rubble, wood chips, strips of cloth or severed limbs - were lifted into the air, and the fuel filled in the warheads burned as they swooped down on the nearest target, burning anything unfortunate enough to come into contact with them, and the terrible fire spread rapidly. Before the fire brigade and citizens could rush to the vicinity of the fire with iron buckets filled with water and sand, the two spaceships floating on their heads had already completed their turn and launched all the rockets on the other side.

In just a few minutes, the northern side of the cities of Buda and Pest was in flames, and the battle was doomed to defeat in the face of the fire caused by incendiary bombs and the two waves of rockets that were closely linked. In less than a minute, nearly 70% of the firefighters and almost all the fire-fighting water trucks disappeared into the fire, and the fire began to spread to the south of the city little by little.

Outside the southern city wall, the Titans artillery began to exert its might, hundreds of cannons from the "Great Beltha" and below fired at the same time, and dozens of non-commissioned officers who operated the earth attribute magicians used techniques such as "mud transformation", "sandification", and "ground cracking" to shake the foundation of the city wall and strengthen the effect of artillery bombardment. It only took half an hour. A gap was opened. But instead of rushing to storm the city, they pushed the 8-pounder guns that accompanied the infantry advance into the fortified positions, one next to the other, and fired a dense salvo at the defenders trying to mend the gap. At the same time, the heavy artillery was removed, loaded onto the flatbed car that had been prepared long ago, and the temporary small railway built by the field railroad soldiers was used to enter another artillery position and start a new round of shelling.

This is a "meat grinder" tactic tailored for the Republican Defense Forces after Titans carefully analyzed the previous defeat of Heinau. The battle plan was extremely simple, but it was gruesome to execute: an aerial strike from Tongguò caused a fire in the north of the city, which grew as it expanded. The inhabitants and soldiers of the city were bound to be driven by the flames to the southern part of the city, which had not yet been affected by the flames. Outside the city, the Titans forces only need to open a few gaps by concentrating their artillery fire on a few set blocks. Wait for the people of the city to continue to gather into these gaps, and then use the advantage of Titans' artillery to slowly wipe them out at the selected slaughter sites. The rebels have to choose between shells and flames, even if a few survive. In the absence of any bunker. and when there is an extreme shortage of food, drinking water, and weapons. They were also quickly swept away by the Titans.

Simple and terrifying, it sounds logical, but this plan clearly underestimates the wisdom and resilience of the "Diao Min".

Before the war. The Wehrmacht, having already anticipated that the other side might set fire to the city, cleared the flammable materials on the main road, and mobilized the citizens to dig the fire ditches that ran through the city. In addition, he ordered his troops to enter the sewers, barricades, and bunkers.

By this time, the cities of Buda and Pest had become two fortified cities, with bunkers set up for administrations and key areas, and concealed positions for other large buildings. The buildings near the city walls were barricaded with iron plates for their windows facing the street, and firing holes were cut into them, a defense that, based on previous experience, was effective against Charlemagne.

The defenders of the Republic were making their way through the streets into their positions, building after building about to become a strong fortress against the invasion, and the city would soon turn into a street fighting hell of Charlemagne's corpses, but at that moment, the air was filled with a whistling sound.

"Thin sticks" stretched out from the spacecraft, and as the flash of gunpowder explosion and smoke flashed, one after another objects were catapulted into the air, and then captured by gravity, drawing a parabola and falling to the ground. The objects did not take the height of hundreds of meters seriously, and spewed a storm towards the ground before hitting the ground, standing on the ground in dust and tremors.

The whole body is covered in dark green armor, and there is no gap in sight, reminiscent of the center of the rounded head in the shape of a kettle, and one eye glows pink.

Enemies in strange armor jumped into the middle of the line of defenders, swaying back and forth with one eye staring at the stunned crowd.

"What is this guy?!"

"Fire!"

Under the order of the squad leader, the militia who came back to their senses immediately raised their guns and pulled the trigger, but in the face of the dense rain of bullets, the other party did not even dodge, and bathed in lead bullets as if nothing happened, and all the bullets jingled and bounced off. The strangely clad enemy walked with heavy steps toward the nearest militiaman, and as he approached, he drew an axe from his waist that glowed dark red, and with a wave of his hand slashed the man in two.

The Type 06 general-purpose magic armor "Abraham" is based on the "Bear Overlord" worn by Gloria before, and after further improving its performance and improving its producibility, it is specially equipped with Titans for lowering battles. In addition to the most basic protection functions, each joint part is equipped with a technique to absorb the impact of landing, and the back and waist are also equipped with a "storm" technique, which is counter-sprayed before landing, so as to achieve the design goal of minimizing the impact on the body. In addition to the standard smoothbore pistols and carbines, the weapon is also equipped with a thermal axe, which heats the metal axe blade to a red color with a flame-based technique, and slashes the enemy in two with high heat and sharp blades.

Hundreds of commandos descended to slaughter at all major traffic routes, threatening them with nothing but artillery and mid-level and above-level assault techniques. For a time, the movement of the defenders came to a complete standstill.

Calculating this time, Titans, who had already opened several gaps, began to enter the city. Their attack didn't take much of a stance, just after the heavy artillery and Congreve rockets were lined up. Unleash a salvo from a distance of less than 100 meters, methodically destroying every building in sight. Bunkers such as barricades were useless in the face of such slaughter, and soldiers and civilians hiding in bunkers and houses were often doomed, and occasionally survivors escaped from their bunkers and still could not escape the fate of death - Titans' sniper companies controlled the high points of the walls, and the battlerifle regiments and infantry guns blocked the roads, and anyone who walked into the streets would be met with fire. Under the cover of the infantry, the gunners of the Titans constantly pushed the cannons, advancing from one block to another, after some time of shelling. The infantry began to move forward. And so on and so forth, razing neighborhoods to the ground.

The cities of Buda and Pest, once one of the most beautiful cities in the world, have been riddled with smoke-filled ruins and burning rubble, and ground transportation has been completely cut off. The Chain Bridge, which connects the two cities across the Isstres River, and the Elizabeth Bridge was blown up. Pillars of fire burst out of the palace of Buda. The Fisherman's Bastion, built in memory of the fishermen who fought against the Ghani-Shari Legion, has burned to the ground, and the bustling street of Watts, Pest's busiest street, is littered with the corpses of women who helped build the bunkers by barricades made of broken bricks, broken wood, furniture and dead horses. Some of the girls still had small compacts in their hands, as if they were going to dress up as if they were going to dress up in a kind of "noble" death etiquette customary in the big cities, and even the overwhelmed peasant girls were wrapped in ornate turbans, and among them were many children with long eyelashes. After witnessing the rape of the women by the Titans soldiers, using bayonets to pick on heads, limbs, and even babies and laughing loudly, the guards who ran out of bullets saved the last bullets for the children, and the women dressed up and used bayonets to determine themselves, while the few seriously wounded who were still alive set off their bombs......

"Like the Guardians, the two cities themselves are gradually crumbling over time, and although they can still rely on the advantage of being familiar with their own city, using ancient tunnels to relocate, and fighting in some cemeteries, castles, and bunkers, as predicted in front of the station, there is no suspense about the fall of the city......"

Karl Feifer-Wiedenbruch, a consultant and lieutenant colonel of the Alfheim Defense Army, pocketed pens and notebooks, and not far away, another advisor, Major Heinz Reinefalt, wearing a gas mask, commanded a group of Tetans gunners wearing the same mask to carry chests painted with red paint, skulls and the words "Special Shells", a group of wind mages preparing to chant, and several cannons facing a tunnel mouth.

There are countless sewers, repair tunnels, and passages around Castle Hill, and the RDF sends squads of snipers, grenadiers, and patrols from these dense underground passages to infiltrate the rear of Titans to assassinate Titans officers or detonate ammunition dumps. Led by municipal workers familiar with the underground pipelines, Titans was quick to notice these extremely busy underground lines of communication and quickly took countermeasures, setting up a guard post on the manhole cover at the exit of the sewers, firing guns or firing a large number of assault techniques at the first sign of movement, and making some progress, but still being overwhelmed. Now, they're going to use mustard gas to get rid of the "rebel bugs".

This is far from the most effective means, and the tunnels are well connected, and as long as a certain area is closed to isolate the poison gas, the rebels can still make a detour to attack and harass. In order to seal off the tunnels more effectively, the Defence Force's Major and Police Lieutenant Colonel Paul Otto Gabbel is directing the soldiers to unload the gas canisters from the wagons, and some sappers are filling in the tunnels, leaving only a few gaps that can reach into the pipes, and several magicians are inspecting the pyromagic circuits that were previously left in the tunnels.

Gas generator, the latest street combat weapon developed by the Defense Force. The principle is extremely simple, a large amount of flammable gas gas is poured into the tunnel or sewer, and when the gas reaches the required concentration, the flame is detonated, and the chain explosion, high-temperature combustion and vacuum effect are used to carry out triple killing, and by the way, the poisonous gas in the tunnel can also be removed. Its power is devastating to a single creature in the tunnels, and Lieutenant Colonel Widenbruch has seen the scene after the test of this weapon, where cats, dogs, rats, and humans are blown up beyond recognition, and corpses stick to the walls like stamps on envelopes.

Glancing at the busy humans, the lieutenant colonel took out his notebook and pen again and wrote:

“...... There is no doubt that the close range of heavy artillery can quickly clear the defenders stationed in the building, and the heavy mortars and assault guns with heavy armor and tracked chassis have incalculable value in street fighting, and can demolish a building in an instant with almost no tactics...... Capturing a piece of rubble is much easier than conquering a ruin that harbors a large number of enemies. However, in urban street fighting, armored vehicles have difficulty turning and are vulnerable to Molotov cocktails or bombs from above and from behind. Therefore, in addition to infantry, it is best to be equipped with small armored vehicles equipped with machine guns or self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. In addition, the requirements for shooting accuracy in street fighting have been greatly reduced, and submachine guns with high rate of fire, ammunition carrying capacity, and small size can play a better role in this environment. The automatic rifle is too long and has too little magazine capacity for 30 rounds...... If you can develop auxiliary equipment that soldiers can observe, aim and fire at enemies around corners or on the other side of a wall without sticking their heads or bodies out......"

The lieutenant colonel's pen rustled on the paper, the royal palace on the top of a hill not far from collapsed with a wail, the smoke-filled hall of Vigaudo made its final struggle, Andrásy Street was littered with rubble and bullet marks, and the bridge connecting the two cities collapsed in the Istel River...... All qiē symbolizes the destruction of the Republic of San István and its capital after a terrible battle, the pearl of the former Istres is still burning, and is about to become a ruined city, the ruins of the city.

"Anyway, this land can't be rebuilt in 20 years. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Wiedenbruch wrote in an almost pitiful tone. (To be continued......)
