Hyello comrades am back from Siberia, time to drink much wodka (Hello guys, I'm back from being a little lazy dickhead, time to get back to work).
Richie gave Jaune a brief salute before making his way quickly down the stairs connecting the short tower to the wall below. He walked briskly to the corner, boots stomping and the familiar sound of Yang's gauntlets going off as she passed the wall he stood upon. Crescent Rose could be heard faintly from the tower on the other side of the castle over the loud sounds of gunfire, artillery, and men shouting in German.
A rapid beeping came from the telegraph station below as he made his way to the small artillery emplacement a few dozen yards away. The airfield adjacent to Herbst was on the receiving end of its own attack and was requesting orders from Hauptmann Arc.
Richard stopped outside the office and briefly wondered if the Zeppelin there should be used, it would prove an excellent asset to use in defense. He shook his head absentmindedly, fighters could not be scrambled in time to defend the airship in the skies as most of the pilots were defending the airfield on the ground.
He was broken from his thoughts as he noticed an artillery crew struggling to work the piece they were manning, they looked very tired and their clothes were disheveled. He scoffed and walked to them quickly as other crews continued firing high-explosive rounds at the Grimm.
The Prinz spoke up as he reached them, "What are you doing?! You are part of one of the most elite units in the military and you are having trouble firing a weapon that you have been manning for four years?"
The men looked at him in horror. He scoffed again and rolled his eyes. "Move aside for a moment and I'll demonstrate the proper way to load and fire a Feldkanone, as you men seem to have forgotten."
The men quickly jumped out of his way and stood at attention. Richard picked up an explosive shell and quickly approached the 7.7 cm FK 96 n.A. artillery piece.
He turned the crank that opened the chamber and shoved the shell in, the crank was turned again and the chamber closed. Richard looked over his shoulder to see the men still at attention, yet staring at him. He smirked before pulling on the line that acted as a trigger to cause the field gun to fire.
There was a loud boom! and a Goliath about half a mile away was blown to pieces.
The Crown Prince backed away from the cannon and motioned toward it. "Gentlemen." They snapped out of their stupor before quickly beginning to man the weapon again. He chuckled lightly at the sight before moving on to take part in the action.
Meanwhile, a few thousand miles away in the city of Berlin, Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert von Hohenzollern, also known as Kaiser Wilhelm II or simply Wilhelm II or even Kaiser Bill, was…
Kneeling on the floor of his only daughter's room, viciously tickling the six-year-old Prinzessin Viktoria while the Kaiserin laughed joyously along with her husband and daughter.
"Vati!" Viktoria cried between gasps and laughs. "Hör auf! Hör auf!"
The Kaiser laughed, "Noch nie! This is your punishment for taking cookies from their jar without permission!"
"Eure Majestät!" the head butler of the von Hohenzollerns, Rudolph Sieben, knocked on the door to the room rapidly, before entering. "Herbst Castle is under attack by the Grimm!"
All laughing in the room stopped as the information was processed.
"Mein Gott." The Kaiserin said, placing her hand on her chest and staring wide-eyed at the butler.
Wilhelm scooped up his daughter and placed her on her bed. "Listen, Sissy, your mother and I are going to speak with Rudolph for a little while, you just sit here and play with your toys Liebling."
"Okay, vati." The small girl said happily.
The Kaiser smiled briefly at his daughter before grabbing his shocked wife and guiding her to the door. "Rudolph, take Dona to her room and get her some tea, I'm going to the telegraph office." The butler nodded and began to lead Augusta away.
Wilhelm huffed anxiously before quickly heading away.
Sixty-six-year-old Count Alfred von Waldersee, ex-Chief of the Prussian General Staff and current commander of the important Prussian garrison at Menagerie, looked through his binoculars from his horse at the large bandit encampment in the distance that he intended to destroy. He had become the head of the garrison after taking a trip to Menagerie and enjoying the island so much he had elected to stay, although the Kaiser had been reluctant to give him command of the garrison, as he would have preferred von Waldersee to remain as Chief of the General Staff.
He turned one of his aides, "Commence a brief artillery bombardment and tell the men to prepare for the attack, it will commence in ten minutes." The man saluted at von Waldersee and quickly rode away to follow his orders.
A few minutes later artillery shells came flying over their heads before exploding in the camp and destroying the walls. Count von Waldersee smiled briefly, "Commence the attack." He turned the binoculars to see an infantry regiment charge through the hole in the walls and attack the bandits. Most used shotguns, others used pistols, and some even used their Gewehr 88's despite the close range and 'old' age of the rifle.
His spectating was interrupted by an aide, "Sir, Ghira Belladonna wishes to speak with you."
The Count sighed, "Very well, send him a message and tell him I will speak to him when I arrive and that I'm on my way to his residence now."
The aide saluted, "Yes sir!"
Hello guys, sorry for the delay, there really is no excuse other than laziness and lack of motivation. In order to combat this, I've decided to reincorporate scheduled updates. From now on chapters will come out every Friday give or take a day.
I am also going to start two new stories.
One will be called Johann von Arc and will be about Jaune living in Prussia in the 1800s.
The other will be called Comissioner Arc and will be about Jaune in the Resident Evil universe, mildly inspired by Resident Huntsman, although I had the idea in my head before that story was posted.
Not sure when these will come out, but they will come out relatively soon.
Review Replies:
joeyginise: Apologies, Prussia mostly has WW1 tech, so they use biplanes and U-boats, Richie will pilot a Fokker Dr.I later in the story. There will be Zeppelins, WW2 tanks and the Enigma machine. Along with some mechanized infantry units using the . 251. DM me if you want to ask specific questions.
Clarence Potter: Thanks for the support and the correction, I'll use that term in the future instead.
SilverTails555: Jaune is a Captain in the Prussian Military, and will eventually be a General.
Guest: Thank you, they will be in Beacon in about 2-3 chapters
Alright, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please, for the love of god, REVIEW GODDAMNIT. Thx.
