All-Out Assault

!

[Da da da da da]

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Die, you invaders!"

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

[Boom boom boom boom.]

"For justice! For the Sea Star!"

"Crush them—"

While Imu and Esdeath were conducting a fair trade called 'equivalent exchange' in the sun-drenched Giant World, the world of Teigu World was already engulfed in war and filled with the sounds of battle.

North of the Imperial Capital.

On the vast plains between the Muer Fortress and the Famu Mountains, nearly a million troops from both sides are engaged in a frenzied slaughter, each one of them completely bloodthirsty.

Shells whistled through the air, and artillery fire shone brightly everywhere.

This is a full-scale war between professional legions from two world civilizations, a war that blends modernity with fantasy elements.

Armed forces.

Both the World Government's Auxiliary Corps and the Empire's Army units are equipped with automatic weapons and heavy artillery with virtually no generational differences.

Dense barrages of various types of shells, including 'howitzer shells', 'jet shells', and 'Heavenly Origin Shell'.

Like a hailstorm falling from the sky, it relentlessly pounded into both sides' camps, turning into huge, rapidly expanding fireballs.

Moreover, the soldiers on both sides were highly skilled, well-trained, and elite soldiers who had experienced many major battles.

In the process of offense and defense, they demonstrated their war skills to the fullest.

All I saw was...

Imperial Army side.

Each 'Rosikansa Giant Crab' with its tough shell serves as a living fortress.

Braving the torrent of bullets, he used his own flesh and blood and his life to protect the soldiers following behind him, and slowly moved forward towards the defensive line not far away.

The Army soldiers were also trying their best to peek out and fire from time to time, even though their comrades were losing their lives every moment.

The bullets from both sides were like bloodthirsty 'steel snakes,' biting and killing any unlucky one. However, there would always be artillery shells that, with their powerful explosions, snatched away their prey before they even got a chance to kill it.

Those "big rabbits" with flames burning on their ears and tails are mainly opposed to the all-black main battle tanks.

With its extremely agile movements, it can often create some space for itself in the chaotic battlefield, and engage in back-and-forth battles with tanks, occasionally spitting out mouthfuls of scorching flames.

However, if it is unfortunately hit by a shell, it will be turned into a "roasted rabbit" on the spot, emitting a lingering aroma of meat.

In the air.

One after another, fighter jets from either the 'Demon Slayer World' or the 'Attack on Giant World' appeared in the azure sky of this 'Teigu World' after passing through the Star Gate.

They were complemented by the cannon fire provided by warships that looked extremely ancient, without sails or masts, yet could fly.

Engage in fierce battles with magical Fire Dragon knights and large, Danger Beasts bird species.

It turns out that the World Government's Air Force Headquarters discovered that their traditional Marine warship, although they were wooden boats covered with iron plates, were actually quite large.

Especially the original Navy's Headquarters Class warships, in terms of length, width, and height.

It even reached an astonishing two hundred meters, fifty meters, and thirty meters.

By simply modifying the size and location of the superstructure and removing the sails, it can be used as a runway for fighter jets.

Therefore, the Air Force's Flying Warship have now basically become small 'space carriers'.

[Boom!]

Then another monoplane fighter was torn to pieces by a Level 2 Danger Beasts called 'Black Lainge Giant Eagle' with its sharp falconry claws and talons.

Even the pilots belonging to the Auxiliary Corps were dragged out and swallowed, leaving the shattered aircraft to burn fiercely as they plummeted into the chaotic battlefield below.

Incidentally, the explosion also killed more than a dozen Imperial Army soldiers nearby. It's unclear whose side they were killed by.

However.

Just as the 'Black Lainge Giant Eagle' was enjoying a dessert and looking for its next delicious meal, a flash of light appeared, and blood spurted from its thick neck. The eagle's head was severed in agony.

"Beast!"

It turned out to be an Air Force Headquarters wearing a blue overcoat and with a frosty expression, who used Geppo to end its life with his Nichirin Blade, which had been heated to the point of being a 'Crimson Blade'.

"Roar!"

A nearby Fire Dragon, controlled by the Purgatory Knights on its back, pounced towards the Air Force Headquarters.

At the same time, it opened its ferocious, blood-red maw and spewed out a scorching pillar of fire.

"Kill!"

The unnamed Air Force Headquarters colonel fearlessly roared in response.

At this time.

It was 3:26 PM, the second day of the Imperial Army's fierce offensive against the main battle divisions led by Bullet and Onigumo.

That's right.

Douglas Bullet has arrived at Muer Fortress with his main battle division and taken over the Onigumo's main battle division and the more than 50,000 Auxiliary Corps that have arrived one after another.

However, he did not act immediately.

This was partly because the enemy's commander hadn't made a move yet, and they wanted to observe the situation further, and partly to buy time for their officers and soldiers to achieve merit.

As a general, he could not rely on his superior combat strength to single-handedly sweep away most of the enemy every time.

This practice is essentially tantamount to 'hogging the spoils,' which easily leads to complaints and even hostility from subordinates, severely damaging the morale of the entire army.

Especially now that the Twenty-Level Military Merit Peerage System's has begun to be implemented, it is even more unacceptable to do so.

Therefore, whether it's Bullet, Onigumo, or Oven, these Vice Admiral tacitly choose to abide by the unspoken rules of the battlefield—'king against king,' 'general against general,' and 'soldier against soldier'—unless absolutely necessary.

Although doing so would greatly increase one's own casualties, it was a method that everyone could accept.

But the situation on the battlefield is strange right now.

Aside from the relentless, wave-like offensive, there were no particularly outstanding individuals to be seen, not even the 'Beastman Unit'.

This left Bullet's Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral only able to stay in the rear, watching their 20,000 main combat soldiers below busily reaping wave after wave of battle merits by displaying various Physical Arts or Swordsmanship.

I'm so envious!

"I think I understand what the opposing commander is thinking. He has seen the gap between the high-end combat capabilities of both sides and has also calculated that we will subconsciously abide by the rules of the battlefield."

Therefore, they have consistently refrained from sending their generals and elite troops, hoping to wear down our strength, ammunition, and morale as much as possible through sheer numerical superiority."

Bullet rubbed his chin with his rough hands and sneered.

The Onigumo generals and major Vice Admiral behind him, including Rear Admiral, all Satori after hearing this analysis.

There's nothing we can do about it; these people are called generals, but for years they've only been catching One Piece or raiding islands.

Therefore, their military skills are indeed not very high, since they are used to solving all problems directly with force.

But now they are facing a far more serious, small-scale battle than a minor skirmish.

"However, now that we've discovered it, this tactic has become meaningless, because it exposes our serious lack of high-end combat capabilities!"

After saying that, Bullet suddenly turned his head, grinning widely to reveal a terrifying smile.

"Gentlemen, let's show them our Sea Star's style of warfare."

"I order that in thirty minutes, the entire army, including myself, will launch an attack and crush them!"
