The Imperial Knight, Bane of Ancients had arrived. The Pilot, a noble named Carolas Dronack, wanted to take advantage of the situation, and wanted to face the dragon, but would aid the Guard if needed.
"Hello Carolas Dronack, I have a request. We have received news of a city in danger, it is a strategic point, so we request you join the 247th detachment, and aid in their attack." Ulrik said.
"I shall consider it." Carolas said, as he sat in a barracks all to himself, sipping wine.
The Army had the artillery preparing to leave, with the final checks on vehicles. The forces loaded up, chimeras hummed to life, and guns were loaded. The armored column left the base, heading towards Italica.
-meanwhile-
Itami's men were freaked out, as Rory was.........something. A battle was being waged in another section of the city. From what Magnus heard, she's a portal for the dead.
"Should we be concerned?" Emma asked.
"Nope." Dora said.
The group waited, before the taurox radio buzzed.
Magnus answered.
"Yeah? 30 minutes? Good, I'll get any friendlies out of the zone and mark with a red flare. Load up people, reinforcements will be hitting in 30 and counting." Magnus said.
The 5 soldiers ran to the taurox, climbing in. Magnus pulled out a flare, as Rory dashed away, the sun began to rise. The JSDF joined the imperium was they traveled through the city. The jsdf fired a flare up. The 2 stopped, and 2 soldier ran down a set of steps running.
"Kurobioshi." Itami said.
"Emma!" Magnus said.
Magnus moved forward with the 2 jsdf soldiers. As the group reached the area, the sounds of artillery were heard and heavy steps, echoing in the distance. Emelia and Angela moved forward.
"What's that?" Itami asked.
"Reinforcements." Magnus said.
The sounds of music played.
Rory, Kurobioshi and Dora were fighting the crowd, covering one another. Emma threw a trench club into a man's face, before using her trench knife to stab a man. Kurobioshi pulled the club out of the man's face, knocking him.
They heard a massive boom was heard in the distance, before a symphony of artillery. The outside of the wall was turned into a field of craters.
"There's our guys!" Itami said smiling.
Then princess watched, horrified, metal flying beasts that carry men and fire spells of death. She looked over, seeing a massive beast of metal walking towards the walls. The JSDF watched surprised, not knowing what it was.
"The god engine has arrived." Magnus said.
"You know what that is?" Itami asked.
"It is an imperial knight, this is only 1, a small 1 at that." Magnus said, leaning on a wall piece.
"Oh god."
