Do Your Own Revolution

Chapter 61

“How is it? Can you see anything?”

“Yes, sir. The Republic bastards are swarming all over.”

At an Imperial Army observation post on the Western Front.

In response to the senior soldier’s question, a soldier operating the telescope connected to the observation balloon answered with a horrified expression.

“Three more armored trains seem to have arrived. They’re packed with weapons and ammunition.”

“These persistent bastards. We’ve killed so many, yet where did all these crawl out from?”

That was the Republican Army for you – kill one, three would crawl out; kill three, nine would walk out.

Overwhelming numbers, and the overwhelming resources to sustain those numbers.

If it weren’t for superhuman groups like the Knight Order and Magic Corps, the Empire would have long since been trampled under their military boots.

And now, with revolutionary winds blowing within the Empire.

The mages who protected them were leaving the front lines one by one.

“At this rate, I wonder if we’re really going to lose… Huh?”

Just as he was muttering that.

When he spotted an alien object in the center of his view, the observer’s eyes immediately widened.

“S-Senior, what… is that?”

“What do you mean ‘what’? I taught you all the names of Republican Army equipment, didn’t I? Did you forget already?”

“No, that’s not what I mean…”

“Aish!”

The sergeant roughly pushed his junior aside and put his eye to the observation equipment.

“Stop stammering and speak properly! Just what did you see…!”

But his shouting didn’t last long.

The senior soldier’s eyes widened instantly when he saw the image output on the observation equipment.

“I-Insane…”

Red-painted armored trains with bear emblems carved on them.

And bizarre shadows disembarking from those trains one after another.

Boom- Boom-

It felt like he could hear their footsteps even though they were kilometers away.

Large mechanical bodies made of steel, heavy artillery mounted on their shoulders.

Heavy machine guns attached to both hands, and the red bear emblem carved in the middle of their bodies…!

“Contact headquarters! Hurry!”

“W-What?! We still have three hours until the regular report time…”

“That’s not the issue right now!”

The panicked senior soldier barked at his junior who still hadn’t grasped the situation.

“It’s the 1st Guards Armored Division! The Republic’s Armored Infantry! The Red Bear has been deployed to our front!”

“A-Ah…!”

Armored Infantry.

Upon hearing those four syllables, the junior soldier finally started running frantically toward headquarters.

“Fuck… fuck…!”

The arrival of the Armored Infantry that should be at the central battlefront had a simple meaning.

It meant that an unprecedented Republican offensive was about to begin right here.

The soldier’s hands trembled as he gripped the observation equipment.

“They said this was just a small-scale front line on the outskirts, what’s going on all of a sudden…!”

The higher-ups who received the report would probably be in chaos too.

Soon, an officer with a pale face would come running to verify if they saw things right.

As the senior soldier continued watching the observation equipment in preparation for that moment, he suddenly doubted his eyes.

“Wait. What’s that now?”

The Armored Infantry disembarking one after another from the red armored trains.

Some of them were pulling chains, dragging something massive out of the train cars.

Covered in red plating, with all sorts of restraints and mechanical devices embedded…

A four-legged beast?

“No, not a beast. That’s…”

Tentacles writhing between the steel plates.

And that distinctive glow between the eye sockets.

Upon confirming that, the color drained from the soldier’s face.

“Could that be… a monster?”

***

“Grooooar-!”

Thud-!

A massive body over 3 meters tall collapsed to the ground with a scream.

It looked like five human limbs had been dismembered and reassembled like a Power Rangers combining robot.

Tentacles covering that body, along with slime and blood coating almost every inch.

It was a monster that had emerged from a rift formed on the outskirts of the front line.
