Eire

At a walled city was a fierce battle between Humans and Monsters and the humans taking on a stiff defense against the beasts. The defenders are terrified as the enemy ahead had no signs of empathy or mercy and the dead of Eiren Soldiers and civilians were being used as food for the monsters

It was a gruesome siege that lasted for more than 3 weeks and the defenders are reaching their breaking point. They were low on supplies, morale, manpower and a starving population behind them

The noble of the land who was leading the defense hanged himself to avoid capture, leaving his weary soldiers all to themselves

And the temporary leader was a Knight Captain who had the burden of shouldering tens of thousands of human lives along with his men to carry out the defense of his city

Footmen had their shields up on the wall to protect themselves from projectiles being flung by the monsters while Archers fire away a volley of arrows and making rain on the enemy

And hundreds of meters away from the fighting was a group English men observing the medieval fantasy battle going on in front of them on a overwatch position. They were in contact with a radio and telling the positions of the enemy to the artillery regiment behind them

Kilometers behind was 25 pounder field guns being loaded with shells and its angle was elavated just right for the distance

The Artillery officer signals to fire and a deafening roar of artillery shells flies through the air

At the medieval battle, monsters had brought a ram and being pushed by Orcs to the front gate. They were about to get close until a whistle was heard in the air and moments later, a blast rocks the earth and HE rounds decimates the monsters

The defenders covers their ears while they others look at awe from what is currently happening in front of them. Very powerful monsters were instantly oblitirated in the blast like they were nothing

Feared monsters like Orcs and its sub-species, Goblins, Ogres, Trolls, Kobolds, Dire Wolves, Dire Boars and more were being killed left, right and center from an artillery volley

The shelling lasted for half a minute before the guns stopped firing. Taking note of the sudden explosions halting, the soldiers on the walls look at what happened at what was suppose to be the enemy positions but all they saw was a hellish landscape

Corpses of the monsters litter the landscape, the soil was darkened and the smell of blood and death reeks the air

Knight-Captain: Wh-What was that...? A-Are we saved? Was that a miracle?

Footman: Captain! Look, over there! A metallic beast!

A spotter points at a A32 Comet Cruiser Tank rolling through the oblitirated enemy position with the commander raising a white flag in a mean to express that he has no intent to do any harm

Archers ready an arrow and draw their bows in preparation for any sort of tricks of whatever they may be pulling but the Knight Captain gave them the order to stand down but be ready

Tank Commander: Excuse me good fellow, could we have a talk. Maybe even a hot cup of tea. We mean no harm and we would like to have a talk to whoever is in charge

Knight Captain: Send a messenger to whoever that is

After waiting for a while, the tank commander notices the gate of the city opened for a single person cladded in scale mail armor. His scabbard is empty to show trust that the messenger was unarmed and poses no threat

Finn: My name is Finn, a messenger for the captain. Talk to me and i'll relay any messages for him

Jacob: My name is Jacob. And i-
