The Kingdom Of Glass

The infantry had stepped on almost all mines, so there were no mines left for infantry to step on and detonate.
But ──────.
“『Next ──── enemy tanks is about to make contact with the anti-tank minefield』”
“『Roger. Enemy infantry and tanks successfully separated. They’re advancing ahead of the complex minefield. Second floor, anti-tank grenade launchers get ready.』”
“『『『Roger!!』』』”
Ban─batan! Suddenly, the second floor window was opened and Grenadiers with what looked like long sticks came leaning out.
Quite a number of them were holding long sticks.
“What are those?”
“『It’s an infantry-carried anti-tank grenade launcher[Faustpatrone 30] …..Get down!』”
[Note: ‘Faustpatrone 30’ is the base of the later version Panzerfaust, do correct me if I’m wrong..my history is rusty]
“Faustpatrone???”
“Hyaaaaaaaaaa!! I’m first in line!”
The lead cavalry chariot plunged into the barricade with a savage cry.
And
“Dieeeeeeeee! Such a barricade can break so easily.”
Kachi──── Zudooooooooooooon! !
One of the cavalry chariots went up to the sky with a huge explosion.
Power unmatched compared to the anti-personnel mines.
“『They’ve touched the mines! Faustpatrone, get ready!』”
“『『『Roger!!』』』”
Barabara……and the pieces of the cavalry chariot that was blown up in the earlier explosion were falling down.
[Note:バラバラバラ Barabara in this context is a feeling worried because someone acts a dangerous/shocking thing. Feeling of heart is beating strongly]
The chariot was shattered.
Not only was there no sign of the driver, there was no sign of the crew who were serving as archers.
Of course, the magician who was supposed to have put up a defensive shield was also missing.
Only the horse’s upper body fell to the ground, smelling of burnt horseflesh.
And it was a chain of events.
“Wh,what! ?? Now is ────”
Zudodooooooooooon!!!!
Second chariot, wrecked and in flames.
“Aaaaーー! Aaーー! Gyaaaaaaah!”
The occupants of the chariot were rolling around in a blazing mass of flames.
“Get out of the way! Get out of t──!”
Zudodooooooooooon!!!!
Third chariot, wrecked and exploded.
“I,I thought we used up all the mines?”
Nasser watched closely as the minefield was neutralised by the King’s inhuman methods.
But.
“『These minefields are complex. There are anti-personnel mines in the front of the position and in the back…』”
Zudodooooooooooon!!!!
“Gyaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Fourth chariot, wrecked.
“『─ As you can see, we have laid anti-tank mines to destroy those tanks.』”
According to the 『Company Commander』.
To prevent infantry and tanks from working together, anti-personnel mines were laid in front of the tanks, stopping the infantry and allowing only the tanks to push through.
Then, when the protruding tanks touched the anti-tank mines, they would be ──────.
“Whaaat!!!!!? There are still ground traps left!??”
Here finally…….The King was astonished to realise what had happened.
And.
“Stop! Stop! All units stoppppp!”
He ordered his soldier to halt in a booming voice.
As might be expected, the king might be stupid but he was well trained. The cavalry chariots of the loyal Kingsguard quickly stopped.
One chariot that didn’t make it in time stepped on an anti-tank mine and went flying off and the general damage was five chariots.
There were still 45 vehicles left, including the king’s heavy cavalry chariots────
But…
“『────They fell for it! Enemy vehicles have been stopped!』”
A German scout, who had been watching the movements of the cavalry chariots from an upstairs window, reported loudly. Then, without delay.
“『Good! Second Floor, Open fireeeeeee!!!! 』”
“『『『Roger!!』』』”
Yes, the purpose of anti-tank mines was to stop the enemy.
And once they had stopped…
──Spaan!
And then, a light firing sound.
It happened in rapid succession.
Spapapapan!!!
Sticks held by the Germans leaning out from the second floor exploded from the front and back, creating a tremendous fire.
Under the influence of these flames, the interior of the room was bright red, even if only for a moment, and looked like a stove. In addition, black smoke began to spew out furiously after the flames, polluting the view.
That must have been unbearable for the Germans in the room.
But what mattered now was the whereabouts of the red-hot flaming arrows shot into the sky.
As Nasser looked at the stupefyingly slow trajectory drawn into the enemy’s cavalry chariots.
With a much slower velocity than an artillery shell, it drew a loose parabola and ────…… landed!
──── Dooooooon!!!
“Ugyaaaaaaaa!!!”
A cavalry chariot that took a direct hit was instantly engulfed in flames.
The initial speed was so slow that Nasser thought the Germans had thrown a stone at it, but……he didn’t expect it to be as powerful.
Zudon, zudonsudon!!!
The rockets landed one after another, causing the cavalry chariot that had stopped moving burst into flames.
However, it seemed that the hit rate was not so good and some of the chariots are unable to kill even if they have stopped moving.
However, the chariots are shot one after the other with flaming arrows, as if they intend to compensate for this with their numbers.
The magician is supposed to be deploying defensive magic but……it is as if the magic that existed from the beginning had disappeared.
“「「「Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!」」」”
As it was, the Germans, in the heat of the moment, replaced a number of Faustpatrone and shot it
In total, 20 cavalry chariots exploded into flames.
“WhaWhaWhaWhaWha…What is happening!!!!?”
Naturally, the king and his surroundings were in a panic.
“He, your majesty! Let’s retr, retreat to the castle!”
The soldiers acting as drivers for the heavy cavalry chariots declared with a pale face.
“Retreat? Run away?”
The soldiers’ faces contorted as the king said that.
“Where are we going to run to, you idiot!”
Zuba!──The king cut down the driver using his sword.
The King kicked the dead driver off the chariot in disbelief and took the reins instead.
“What’s to retreat?! There’s no [behind] left in the kingdom!………our kingdom is only a few hundred metres away!”
