Hell fell upon them, the Parpaldians were mowed down completely...

Rains of bullets and shells continuously hit their landings, and each ranker that landed was killed in place. Those who were lucky to survive dodged by ducking down to the forewash, which was their only protection from the relentless firings of the enemies.

Some rankers charge forward by the order of their officers but was immediately shot down.

Incoming landing ships were destroyed by the enemy coastal guns, and most began to bombard the troops that had landed first.

"CHARGE! YOU COWARDS—!!!" The life of the officer was cut short when a bullet pierced his head.

The rankers that watched the killing of the officer were terrified and began to question, Is this the promised glory? Are the enemies truly barbarians?

Blood splattered in the pristine sands, and the sea turned red. Dead were washed to the shore, and bodies fell lifelessly.

Fleet Admiral Cius watched the battle unfold from afar. His eyes were wide as he saw his men being slaughtered instead of the enemy.

"What is happening?!" Cius demanded.

"Sir. It appears the enemies has prepared a strong defense prior to the landing!" A lieutenant answered.

"That does not answer on how our men being slaughtered!" Cius retorted.

"W-We do not know, sir. However, speculation about the enemies having repeating firearms like those of Mu." The lieutenant said.

"What?!"

*POM-POM-POM-POM-POMP*

From afar, weird firing noises echoed through the area and reaching the fleet.

Cius turn around and sees lights being shot to the sky as the dragon squadrons passed over them.

"What. Is. That..."

"SKY LIZARDS!!"

"TIREZ-LES!!"
(SHOT THEM!!)

The anti-air mounted carriages open fire against the incoming wyverns.

The Parpaldian wyverns made evasive maneuvers but failed as the bullets and shells reached them first.

Other wyverns that have not reached the killing zone change their route to attack from another way. They failed and found other anti-air weapons hidden within the urban area of Nishinomiyako, killing them.

"Bring more ammos!!"

"GIANT TURTLES!!!"

The dubbed giant turtles, Parpaldian land dragon lintwurms, have landed and are now pushing forward, resistant to small-caliber firearms.

Parpaldian rankers use the lintwurms to advance forward, breaking the killing line by hiding behind the lintwurms. The riders of the lintwurms were forced to control the creatures from behind; some riders did not have the chance to do it as they were killed immediately.
