The Plot for an Artifact

The American soldiers who had been scattering in panic across the beach steadied themselves when they saw their tanks. But after 24 Tiger King tanks appeared, the little courage they had mustered was quickly swept away by the sea breeze. A mass rout began, with soldiers fleeing in every direction. Many chose to jump into the sea and swim toward the American fleet offshore.

The American defeat was now inevitable!

"Damn it!" Kirk hardened his resolve. He took out the [Team Service Excellent Medal] and the [Team Department of Defense Service Excellent Medal]—two medals earned for sinking Japanese aircraft carriers—and chose to combine them!

When the two high-grade team medals were combined, they became a new medal: [Service Excellent Medal] (Gold): [Vengeance] (Enhanced): You can use a one-time aerial bombardment to achieve an S-class bombing effect. Up to 24 B-17 bombers will take part, dropping 300 tons of bombs in a single strike on an area you specify!

"Die!" Kirk viciously selected the beach ahead.

The forester Team Conqueror watched with satisfaction as the Tiger King tanks and a thousand Imperial Guard Division soldiers routed the Americans on the beach. The eight American M4A2 tanks were swiftly reduced to burning wrecks by the Tiger Kings.

The Tiger Kings also crushed the Americans' hundreds of heavy guns beneath their treads or blasted them to pieces!

The beach had been completely captured by the Japanese soldiers of the forester Team!

Li Wenli smiled ingratiatingly at the Conqueror. "To be able to launch a decisive attack in a major battle, relying entirely on our team's strength, and rout tens of thousands of American troops—besides our team, which has been operating in This World for so long, I doubt anyone else could do it!"

A rare smile appeared on the Conqueror's impassive, orange-peel face.
