Hurry up
The piercing buzzing sound made Gabi's mind go blank. Her nose was filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder, and she felt an indescribable discomfort in her body. Her stomach seemed to be churning.
Staggering and grabbing the trench in front of her, Gabi finally couldn't hold it in any longer and bent over to vomit violently.
One shell after another pounded into the position, the shockwaves from the explosions sending dust flying everywhere.
Magath lay prone by the trench, carefully observing the battlefield through his binoculars. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Gabi's unusual behavior, but Magath didn't pay it any mind. The battle was at a stalemate, and there was no time to care about a mere Warrior Candidate.
The Slava Fortress was like a powder keg filled with explosives. The Marley simply flicked a match and ignited it completely. The explosion was unprecedented and unparalleled. The Battle of Slava Fortress cannot be described as merely "like"; this war was a giant meat grinder, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Marley and the Middle Easterners.
From the front lines of the Marley Army to the area directly below the Slava Fortress, less than two kilometers away, not a single patch of intact land could be seen. Shells from both sides had repeatedly "washed" the land from top to bottom. If the war ended this autumn, the farmers here would be very happy, because they wouldn't have to till the land themselves anymore, and the weeds and pests in the soil would have been reduced to ashes by the shells. It was truly a good place to farm, provided, of course, that the countless gunpowder and shrapnel fragments in the soil were ignored.
The Slava Fortress was the last stronghold of the Middle Easterners and the final obstacle to the Marley's victory in the war. Both sides were now fighting with a vengeance, with the Marley attacking at almost no cost and the Middle Easterners defending desperately.
After several days of fierce attacks, the Marleyan left behind more than 20,000 corpses. The Middle Easterners also suffered heavy losses. With the stalemate proving fruitless, the Marleyan, desperate for victory, prepared to unleash their ultimate weapon.
Magath carefully observed all directions of the battlefield through his binoculars.
The Marley Warriors have already infiltrated their positions, poised to strike under the cover of various firepower. Now, all that's needed is a signal for the Marley Warriors to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, and that signal is not far off. Magath looked up at the sky.
The drifting white clouds made him squint slightly, and in his daze, the clouds appeared somewhat blurry, like sails. Although the sunlight was so dazzling, when the Marley Airship force came into view, the horn of the Middle Easterners's decline would sound.
"Gabi, you seem to be feeling unwell? Would you like to go and rest?" Magath said casually, putting down his binoculars.
Gabi's face was a little pale, but she still raised her head and said with difficulty, "Captain Magath! I'm fine, I just felt a little uncomfortable from the shock of the shell."
Magath without saying anything more, and continued to observe the battlefield through his binoculars; the Marley Warriors' actions could not afford any mistakes.
Seeing that Captain Magath was no longer paying attention to her, Gabi breathed a sigh of relief. However, thinking about what she had heard yesterday, Gabi felt very conflicted. She glanced at Falco and Udo on the other side without making it obvious.
Falco and Udo were helping Colt carry ammunition for the other Soldiers.
"What should I do? That's betraying Marley! Why? Damn it!" Gabi irritably took off her helmet and threw it to the ground.
On the other side, Falco noticed Gabi's movements, but his gaze towards Falco was complicated. He couldn't forgive Gabi for abandoning Gabi Comrade on her own, but Gabi had also seen Falco dejection these past few days. Although he didn't say anything, Falco still felt a little reluctant.
Selina stared in disbelief at the two unfamiliar girls beside Yago. Where did these girls come from in the Military Camp? Especially one of the Blonde girls, whose expression remained unchanged, but secretly pinched Yago's lower back with one hand like a twisted rope.
"No wonder, Yago, why didn't you mention in the intelligence that your subordinates were so beautiful? No wonder we've been so silent all this time, looks like you're having a lot of fun." The one pinching Yago's lower back was none other than Annie, who had traveled across the ocean. Annie pinched Yago while whispering jealously in his ear.
However, Annie's appearance has changed drastically. Apart from her light blue eyes and beautiful Blonde, she is completely different from before. Her face has become rounder and her mouth has become flatter. It is obvious that this is the work of Yago. In order to prevent Annie from being recognized, Yago used the power of the War Hammer Titan to "slightly" change Annie's appearance.
I must say, the power of the War Hammer Titan is really useful; it's like kneading clay. Yago can knead the Hardening at will.
During this process, Yago seemed to experience a kind of joy called "face pinching," and he tirelessly pinched and sculpted all sorts of strange faces on Annie's face.
In the end, Yago only stopped because he didn't want to stop Annie's "iron fist of love," and the result is that Annie's originally delicate oval face has been pinched into a round cookie shape.
It's safe to say that even Mr. Leonhardt probably wouldn't recognize his daughter in person, which amused A-Yi on the other side. However, A-Yi's joy didn't last long. Just to be on the safe side, Yago also gave A-Yi a chin that could kill someone. Now, A-Yi no longer had to laugh at Annie; he would be the laughingstock himself. Just as Annie was about to have a mixed doubles match with A-Yi, they happened to run into Selina, who came in with documents to report on the situation.
When Selina entered the tent and saw the two people beside Yago, she was stunned. What was going on? Where did this girl come from? And why did her face look so strange?
When Annie saw Selina, Annie was stunned. It took her a while to recover. When she turned her head, she found that bastard Yago was still laughing. Annie was furious, which led to the scene just now.
A sharp pain in his lower back made Yago's face contort. "No, ah... uh, ah, Annie, let me explain, it's not what you think, ouch~ easy, easy! It hurts!!"
Selina decisively put down the report in her hand, leaving behind the words, "Sorry to bother you!" and quickly left the tent.
As Selina left the tent, she was utterly shocked. She never imagined that Yago would be this kind of person! In broad daylight, a man and two women, how could he! How could he do such a thing?
Selina felt a chill run down her spine and quickly called to a nearby Soldiers, instructing, "Captain Loa has important business to attend to in his tent. Don't let anyone near him, understand?"
The Soldiers was a little confused, but nodded to show he understood; he simply had to carry out his leader's orders.
Selina glanced one last time at Yago's tent and muttered, "Yago, hurry up and get it done! Everyone's waiting for your orders."
