Summoning the German Army! 〜The Former Strongest Dragon Summoner, Who Lost Everything to the Heroes, Vows Revenge… - Chapter 52
Start the overrun

The king and Nasser were separated by a moat.
It was a man-made obstacle that could not be easily crossed.
In all ages and cultures, nothing was better for defending castles than this method..
Huge ditches were moated and flooded.
That was all there was to it.
But that was the thing that made it really tough to attack.
Crossing the water by using any materials would be risky. Moreover, it would not work well if they were targeted from the ramparts as well.
Water pressure would crush the tunnels if one tried to attack from underground.
And siege towers could not cross moats.
In the end, the only way to break through was to forcefully backfill the tunnels with manpower or build bridges with logs.
Then what about the German army?
How will the Germans, now the strongest force in Royal Capital, get through?
Focke-Wulf in the sky.
Panther tanks overrunning the royal city.
The fully mechanised Grenadiers.
And…
The angry and vengeful German summoner – Nasser Virginia.
“Okay! Let’s make it a finale!”
Overrun of Royal Capital.
Next, the destruction of the royal castle.
The King would be the last of the vengeance hors d’oeuvres before that hero and Alicia are slaughtered.
(hors d’oeuvres : a small savoury dish, typically one served as an appetizer)
Moats in the way?
The ramparts targeting the Germans?
Then let’s destroy it.
Then let’s go over.
“My Germans have no rivals! Now let’s ……──── finish up! Let’s go!”
Artillerymen ploughed,
The fighter-bombers ploughed in,
The armoured grenadiers advanced,
Then it was time for the land warship ──── tanks!
“First, level the gates!”
“『Roger』”
The Panther crew responded quickly and operated the turret.
Kuyyyin……and the Panther tank’s main gun, a long-barreled 75 mm gun, slowly pointed its tip towards the city gate.
Three targets.
The towers on either side of the drawbridge, which held the chains that pulled up the drawbridge and the defensive installations above the main gate.
It was unlikely that there were many soldiers left in the castle but even if they did break through the moat, it was obvious that they would be poured with stones and boiling oil from those defensive facilities.
In fact, the few remaining defeated castle soldiers who were still alive and well were aiming their bows and arrows at the Germans.
“Do it! Blow it up!”
“『Roger. Target, enemy main gate defensive facility.』”
Kuyyyin──── Pitari
“『Shell Type – Armour-piercing.』”
Gashaki, Gon!!!
“『Loaded』”
The loader pushed the shell into the gun tail and closed the tail plug. The safety switch for the loader was pressed to signal that the loading was complete.
“『I’m going to shoot.』”
“Shoot it!!!!”
─Douuuunn!! Boooon!!!
The shell landed as soon as it was fired.
Almost right under their noses. There was no way they could miss.
Armour-piercing grenades fired from the Panther tank’s long-barrelled 75 mm cannon easily destroyed the castle walls, which were supposed to be magically defended.
Faintly, Nasser thought he heard the screams of the castle soldiers, but they were drowned out by the explosion.
Furthermore, part of the blasted wall collapsed noisily into the moat and the defensive facilities collapsed as soon as the shell landed, Garagaragararara────! It all collapsed without a trace.
“Tremble! Cower! Regret your birth! Scream, cry, scream and beg for forgiveness!”
“Ha──Haaaaahahaha!”
“Look at that! Just look at that! They say that’s the most solid, strong, great castle in the land of the heroes!”
The defensive installations above the main gate were wrecked in a single blow.
It was blowing out a plume of fuzzy smoke.
But this was not the end.
“Fire!!! Keep shoooting!!!!!”
“『Roger. Continuing──Continue.』”
Don!!! ──── Boooon!!
The turret was turned to the target for the next round.
Armour-piercing shells being fired continuously.
The Panther tank’s reliable main gun fired one after another, not only at the main gate but also at the outlying castles on either side.
Heavy damage was inflicted on its upper half.
The tower slowly crumbled. It seemed that the magical defence was no match for the ────…… long-barreled 75mm cannon!
“Fire!!! Fire!!! Keep shoooting!! Blow it up!!!”
There was no mercy in the Panther tank, not to mention what Nasser said.
No heart, no pity.
And.
No mercy, no bullets to miss.
“──Fire!!!”
A few shots later, the main gate and the outlying castle were almost completely destroyed.
All that remained was the wreckage.
“『Target.Crushed 』”
With that report.
The castle gate collapsed with a Karagaragara.
The gateway to the castle, which had once been a grand gateway to the castle, collapsed with a Doppa!! and it landed in the ditch and sank down.
Now, they had cleared the entrance first.
Next, they would cross the river and then start cleaning up the interior.
It would be nice to blow it up with artillery and aircraft, but Nasser still liked to lay waste to it with his boots and his merry band of friends.
Before that, first of all ────
“Prepare to cross the river, Engineers, get to work!”
“『『Roger!! 』』”
Destruction of the enemy on the ramparts completed.
All enemy resistance at the crossing points were eliminated!
It was time.
“Commencement of the crossing operation ────!
──── the work of the Engineers.”
