General Varoose knew that sending ground troops via the sea was nothing short of blind arrogance.The submarines hiding in Alexandria’s waters had already devastated their naval blockade, and there was no way in hell a few transport boats would survive the onslaught.Over fifty lightly armored landing crafts had been prepared for the nightly excursion, but General Varoose doubted whether even a single one of them would be able to make it to the beaches.However, President Igor wasn’t willing to take ‘no’ for an answer. His word was law, and he was hell-bent upon invading Alexandria by any means necessary.The Chief Admiral of Valheim’s Grand Navy, who was one of the lucky ones who had survived the torpedo attacks, marched up to General Varoose, straight from his amphibious lifeboat.“I saw what happened out there. You are just sending these Marines to their deaths! Those submarines will blow these flimsy boats out of the water even before they can cross the damn sea!”General Varoose

The sudden lightning-fast bombardment from Alexandria took them all by surprise.Valheim’s unprepared military forces scattered like rats as the explosions devastated their frontline defenses and decimated all the anti-infantry infrastructure.“They attacked…us!” President Igor shook with rage, his knuckles sweaty and white, and his face red and torrid. “Alexandria isn’t even half our size. Their military was in shambles after the last war. This…isn’t possible! How the hell did they get past our defenses?”General Varoose stepped up and bowed.“Our recently unsuccessful aerial raids, followed by the failed naval excursions, have stretched our frontlines thin. Those bombers from Alexandria targeted our coastal infrastructure without getting within range of our AA guns and SAMs.”“We need to hit them with everything!” The President thundered, his booming voice carrying across the grand hall. “Launch missiles! Get all our fighter jets and bombers airborne and get our aircraft carriers m

Although General Castillo had no love for Alexandria and definitely no sense of attachment toward the paratroopers he’d been bundled with, the plan of setting a trap for them unsettled him.“Those men are some of Alexandria’s finest. They aren’t as dumb as the rest of the soldiers,” he replied, tense and anxious.“But you are one cunning fox, General. Are you not?” General Varoose retorted.He walked toward General Castillo and looked him in the eye.“You’ve been loyal to Valheim all these years. And you were always paid handsomely for your cooperation. We were ready to bring Alexandria to her knees, but then Commander Payne crawled out of his God-forsaken grave,” he continued in a heavy, unforgiving voice. “We cannot defeat a God at his own game. So, we need to bend the rules to our favor.”“What if…what if Commander Payne finds out?” General Castillo’s face distorted just at the mere thought of being exposed as a traitor. “I came this close to getting shot just a few hours ago. You

Alexandria’s 11th Armored Division rolled like an unstoppable juggernaut, crushing everything in its path.The heavy tanks pounded the hell out of the sniper nests, reducing entire buildings to rubble, while the fast-moving, lightly armored infantry fighting vehicles flanked the artillery crews manning the flak cannons.It was carnage all around, and the man leading the onslaught was none other than Captain Williams himself.Seated inside a heavily armored M1105 Assault Breacher, he led from the front, plowing straight through the barbed wires and barricades and clearing a path for the rest of the tanks.Following closely behind him were the main battle tanks, closely guarded by the lightly-armored infantry fighting vehicles.The whole armored division consisted of 80 active combat vehicles and two support vehicles, which carried the engineering crews and field medics.Since most of the soldiers had already retreated after the first aerial bombardment, Captain Williams had no trouble

Captain Williams escorted General Ebenezer through the old sewer system running under the prison compound while his commandos held the line above the ground.Major Morris pushed forward, commanding the main battle tanks to the frontlines.“We need to retake the Black Well facility ASAP! Bring them down. Fire for full effect!”Alexandria’s minesweepers and lightly-armored support tanks were built for speed and maneuverability, offering them a great advantage in an open field. But being forced to hunker down and defend a target exposed their true weakness.Valheim’s heavy tanks made quick work of the half-tracks and pushed the light tanks back, forcing them into a tight corner, which made escape impossible.Alexandria’s armored regiment lost 12 vehicles in less than half an hour, and the ones still standing had no option but to stick close to the prison compound and limit their exposure.“Protect your rear!” Sergeant Thompson thundered, taking charge of the situation. “Captain Williams
