I am so sorry for the long wait. School and life just got in the way and I procrastinated for a long time as well. But now my semester is over and I am on a month-long winter break so I should be able to get some actual writing done for a change. For now, enjoy the final chapter of this volume for my story and the first chapter for the second one which I have posted right after this.
Also of note, read what I have to say at the end of this chapter. It's important!
(Note: I do not own anything. This is purely for entertainment purposes only.)
Dredger continued to lay down a heavy wave of suppressing fire on the hallways, forcing the members of Squad 7 as well as the other Gallian Regulars and Militia to hunker down and stay close to the other hallways and doorways in order to avoid not being hit by bullets. And if any of the Gallians tried to stick their heads out to try and take a shot at the armored giant, Iohan would zero in on them with his sniper rifle. And with a slight squeeze on his trigger, he would fire a shot at the Gallian soldier, killing them with a well-aimed shot and deterring any nearby Gallians from attempting the same thing. This has resulted in the Gallian advance to the throne room coming to practically a halt, just short of the doors. All thanks to a Darcsen sniper of the Waffen-SS and his lumbering, armored giant of a friend with a machine gun that he can fire with his bare hands like an assault rifle. They had to come up with a plan, and fast if they were going to take the throne room and capture Lelouch before he would have the chance to escape.
"Damn it! Does this guy ever give up?! This is the third time he's trying to kill us!" shouted Largo as he hid in the doorway, a bullet from Dredger's gun narrowly missing him.
"For a Dark Hair, he sure is persistent! I'll give him that!" added Rosie, who really wanted to kill Iohan at the moment.
"Rosie, keep your head down! We expose ourselves, we'll be cut to pieces!" claimed Alicia, hunkering down in a doorway with Welkin and Isara, parallel to the one where Largo and Rosie were currently hiding in.
"Well, we can't just stand here forever! The throne is past those two bozos!" cried out Rosie.
"I know! But we won't be able to get there as long as those two are there! We need a plan!" called out Welkin, advising against doing anything blindly.
Then I suggest you come up with one quickly boss! I don't think we can hide here forever!" pointed out Largo. What he said was right. The only way out for them is forward or behind. And if they didn't come up with an idea fast, then both Iohan and Dredger here were going to make that decision for them.
Meanwhile, no one noticed in the hallway closest to Dredger, Jack was peeking around the corner on the other end of the hallway, fifty or so yards away from where the shooting was all happening. Having come back down after rescuing Princess Cordelia and her uncle, Regent Wilhelm II, he found his squadmates and other Gallian soldiers were now pinned down by none other than their old friends: Iohan and Dredger. Jack watched as he saw Dredger continue to lay down heavy machine-gun fire down the corridor at his friends while being completely unaware of the American soldier's presence. Jack knew he had to do something in order to try and stop this, and he quickly figured out an idea on how to do so. He figured that Dredger, with his tall height and body weight, along with the amount of armor, weapons, and ammunition on him meant that if he stood on a weakened area of the floor, then he would fall down through the floor with an almighty crash.
And Jack had an idea on how to get that to happen. Putting down his shotgun and unslinging his M5A2 Folsom Carbine, he took his last 40mm grenade from his ammo belt and loaded it into the grenade launcher tube of his weapon. Taking aim with the weapon, he aimed it for the floor right under Dredger's feet. He only had one shot so he had to make it all count. Once he was sure that he had lined up a good shot, he pulled the trigger and fired the grenade, which flew through the air in a low dive towards it's intended target. Just as Jack had hoped, it landed right where Dredger was standing, exploding when it made contact with the floor. Dredger was soon enveloped in the smoke which was caused by the explosion and for the moment, he had stopped firing. Unsure of what happened, Jack expected to see that the grenade had taken out Dredger's armor and killed the German giant. Squinting his eyes to get a better look, what he saw when the smoke quickly dissipated shot his hopes to pieces.
He saw Dredger, still alive and standing, his armor a bit chard and somewhat damaged. It looked like that armor was thicker and stronger than Jack had originally thought it was. And now, Dredger had turned his helmeted head to see where the grenade came from and saw Jack standing on the end of the hallway to his left, his rifle in hand. Jack gulped as Dredger turned his body around and readied to fire. Jack froze in his place, suddenly enveloped in fear as he imagined Dredger cutting him to shreds with a long burst of automatic fire from his custom machine gun. Jack closed his eyes, waiting to face the inevitable. However, he wouldn't need to.
Unseen to Dredger, the grenade actually managed to damage the floor beneath him. And in addition to the combined weight of Dredger and the armor and weapons he carried, the cracks in the floor were beginning to get larger and larger. Just as it seemed that Dredger was about to fire, the floor finally gave way, causing Dredger to collapse and fall through the floor...as well as two more floors due to the impact he made when he landed on the floor below him. Jack slowly opened his eyes after hearing the noise, seeing the Dredger had now disappeared.
"Dredger!" shouted Iohan, as he vaulted over the sandbags and went to check on his friend, standing in front of the hole, his back to the stairs and in front of him. He looked down and peered through the hole, hoping to catch a glimpse of his friend. It was then that he failed to see Jack creeping up behind him, as he saw Iohan and saw this as his chance to do something about the Darcsen sniper. As Jack was creeping forward, Iohan heard someone call out his name. Turning to look down the hallway, facing in the direction that the Gallians were originally coming from. Looking down the hallway, Iohan saw Welkin Gunther, now out of cover and standing in the middle of the hallway, and in his hand was his Colt 1911 pistol that was aimed at Iohan. The other Gallian soldiers, along with the other members of Squad 7 peeking out of cover and taking aim at Iohan with their respective weapons as well. Faced with this, Iohan took aim with his sniper rifle, aiming it directly at Welkin, with the distance between them being two dozen yards or slightly less, basically point-blank range for either of the Lieutenants. Meanwhile, Jack tried to move forward as slowly and quietly as possible as to not alert Iohan, hoping to ambush him.
"You have been a very annoying thorn in my side Gunther. I suppose I should commend you for that. No one's ever given me the same amount of trouble that you have," said Iohan, keeping his rifle and his sights directly on Welkin, who did the same.
"I suppose I should take that as a compliment then?" asked Welkin.
"Whatever you choose to make of it. Right now, this is going to end only two ways. Either I take you to the Prince as my prisoner, or we both die here and now," said Iohan. It was then that Alicia and the other members of the Squad (minus Welkin who was too fixated on Iohan and vice-versa) noticed Jack sneaking in from the left. Stopping for a moment to turn his head to them, Jack raised a finger to his lips and gave them the sign to be quiet as he soon continued his slow advance to Iohan, hoping he hasn't blown it yet.
Welkin counted by adding "Not much of a choice is it, Comescu?"
Iohan merely let out a brief chuckle before explaining "I don't have a choice at all. Your interference in my job has got me to lose favor with my bosses. First, you cause me to lose "Princess" Lucina at that village. Next, you shoot me in the shoulder in the Ardennes and send my men packing. My bosses don't tolerate failure, doubly so for me. Before I came here they told me this: If I come back empty-handed again, it's to the camps for me."
"A fate worse than death I imagine," correctly surmised Welkin.
"I'm not going to those camps. I'm not going to spend the remainder of my days on my knees, worked like a dog for the Germans. If I go out, it'll be on my feet, not on my knees. So if you don't surrender now Gunther, I am going to shoot you here and now," said Iohan, his finger now pressed against his trigger, just waiting to apply pressure on it.
However, his fixation on Welkin appeared to be his undoing. Jack had now managed to get to Iohan and was close enough that in a split second maneuver, he hit Iohan hard in the stomach with the butt of his M5A2 Folsom Carbine, causing the SS Lieutenant to stumble back a few steps and drop his rifle upon the floor. Acting quickly, Jack quickly grabbed Iohan's tunic and pulling hard, hurled him down into the hole, where he would fall (and scream) all the way down to where Dredger was likely laying at this moment. After several moments, Jack stood in front of the others, raising his fists into the air in triumph as he shouted "Yes! Lightning, Iohan, and his lumbering giant friend down for the count! All courtesy of this guy! I am on a roll today!"
"Save your laurels, Jack. Battle's not over yet," said Largo, as he and the others moved out of cover and began making for the door along with the other surviving Gallian soldiers.
"Well thanks for ruining my moment Sergeant Vegetable," complained Jack. And before Largo could talk back, Welkin looked to the Regular Army Corporal in charge of the remaining soldiers and ordered him "Have your men go down there and see if they're still alive. If they are, take Iohan and his friend into custody."
"Yes sir," said the Corporal before getting his men to the nearest staircase and head downstairs to search for Iohan and Dredger. Just as they left, Faldio, Isabella, along with Arianna, Kreis, and Leon in tow, came up to greet the others.
"Um, why is there a hole in the floor?" asked Isabella, wondering why this was there.
"Would you believe a giant fell through it?" joked Rosie, with Isabella shaking her head in a simple "no".
Welkin then brought them back to reality when he gestured back to the throne room doors. Readying their weapons, the group got serious again and moved forward. Moving around the hole in the floor, racing up the stairs and over the small sandbag wall up at the top, they huddled around the throne room doors, prepared to bust in and hold Lelouch and his staff at gunpoint, ending this battle for good. On the count of three, Welkin and the others push open the doors and enter the throne room with their guns raised, expecting to see a stunned Lelouch and German personnel around the room. What they saw wasn't what they expected to see. Inside was all the equipment that Lelouch had brought in to make the throne room his command center...but there wasn't a single German in the room. From the looks of it, Lelouch and his men must have bugged out sometime during their shootout with Iohan and Dredger or just after it. And from the looks of it, they made sure to leave nothing useful for the Gallians when they turned tail and fled. They had put all their maps and documents in a pile on the table and set fire to it, which had quickly turned the paper into kindling. The Germans had also shot up the radio equipment and other electronic devices to make them inoperable to the Gallians, including the Enigma machine, which had been gutted of the more valuable parts and the rest having been smashed.
As the group entered the room, they lowered their guns as they calmly and quietly looked around, a sense of disappointment sweeping over them. They expected to see Lelouch, his staff, and some guards there, stunned by the sudden entrance of Gallian soldiers within the throne room. Instead, they found absolutely nothing.
"Guess the Prince up and bailed," stated Leon.
"Thank you for stating the obvious, Schmidt. We can see that the man is gone," sarcastically commented Jack.
Adrianna added her voice to the conversation by stating "He must have heard the fighting outside and decided to bolt."
"Lelouch running for the hills. Well, that is definitely a first for me. I don't think I've ever seen the man run for his life before," stated Jack.
"I think you may need to rethink that, cause I think I don't think he's gotten far, " said Kreis, standing near one of the large floor to ceiling windows on the sides of the throne room and pointing at something, causing the others to head over there and see what he was going on about. Escorted by a squad of at least a dozen German infantry, was none other than the German Archduke of Gallia himself, Lelouch vi Britannia. Along with his staff (Colonel Isaac and Captain Schnee), his wife (her wounds from her tank duel with Welkin having healed), and a weakened Lightning, being carried by two German riflemen, they were moving about quickly across the ramparts as they headed to the back of the castle, likely to try and make some kind of getaway as the castle was lost. It seems that he'd finally listened to Isaac's advice and decided to make a hasty withdraw from the battle for his own personal safety and work on winning the battle from there. Welkin and the others had to catch up with them, and fast.
"Come on guys, we can still catch them!" said Welkin as he raced out the back entrance to the throne room with the others in pursuit. Faldio and Isabella went the other way to see if they could rally some support for this. One way or another, this battle was going to end here and now.
By now, the guards had escorted Lelouch to the back of Castle Randgriz, where there was a large and elaborate courtyard, which was also connected to the central bridge of the Graz bridges, with this one being used exclusively by the Royal Family. There, the Germans had a staff car parked near the entrance to the bridge, which at the moment was bared by the gates. It was kept here as a means of providing a quick escape for Lelouch in case the castle fell. Lelouch honestly never thought he would need it, until now that is, with the Gallians now practically on his heels. He would head for Fort Aslone, and coordinate the defense and eventual recapture of Randgriz from there.
As they approached the car, they were surprised when suddenly the staff car blew up in a fiery blue explosion, causing the Germans to either jump back or hit the deck, with some taking Lelouch and his friends down with him to try and protect him from the little pieces of debris raining down on them. They remained there until they were certain that everything was clear, they then slowly got back up, with some of the soldiers, along with Lelouch and Kallen, coughing as they got back up due to all the smoke thanks to the now flame engulfed staff car. As Lelouch got up and looked to his car now engulfed in flames, he heard the cocking of a gun behind him. Slowly turning around, he soon came face to face with none other than Lieutenant Welkin Gunther himself, with a Colt 1911 in his hand and aiming right at Lelouch's chest. Flanking him on either side were the other main members of Squad 7, all doing the same thing Welkin did, as they aimed their weapons at the Germans, who did the same while also keeping the others behind them, resulting in a standoff between the two groups.
However, the standoff became quite uneven as soon, coming into the courtyard were the remaining members of Squad 7, the whole platoon. Along with Isabella, Faldio, and his second-in-command Ramal, came as well, with all of them standing beside their comrades and aimed their weapons, quickly outnumbering the German soldiers, who though acknowledged the situation, kept their weapons raised and ready to fire when and if heir commander gave the order to do so. And upon the ramparts, more Gallian Militia, Regulars, and civilian resistance fighters in the city aiming their weapons at them as well. It didn't take a genius to see what was going on. With the fact that Lelouch's men were outgunned, outnumbered, and everyone was out in the open, if Lelouch and his men tried to fight or run, they would be gunned down like it was open season. It was official, as Lelouch had now for the first time...been outplayed.
With that, Lelouch, with a smile on his face, gave a slow clap as he looked to Welkin and said "Well done Lieutenant. You're the first person ever to beat me on the battlefield. You've made history today."
"It's over Lelouch, just give up and we can end this battle," said Jack, who held his M5A2 Folsom Carbine as he tried to convince his childhood friend that continuing to fight this battle wasn't worth it.
"Jack. I knew one day that you and I would end up on opposing sides of a war. Never quite pictured it like this though," stated Lelouch, turning to see his old childhood friend again.
It didn't take long before another group was head coming through, and not the kind who were welcome to this party. It seems Isabella's father didn't heed her demand that he stay in the dungeons with the rest of the captured officers and officials. He was now making his way through the members of Squad 7 with Baldren, Audrey, Varrot, and Regent Wilhelm II following closely behind. Jack and several others rolled her eyes as they figured Damon, or as Jack calls him "Il Douchbag", was no doubt about to screw everything up for them...again. It was just like Damon to try and claim all the glory for himself, even though here he spent the whole battle stuck in the castle dungeons. The Gassenarl siblings likely came along to try and have this victory be claimed by the Regular Army instead of the "lowly" grunts of the Gallian militia. Varrot likely came to try and defend her people. As for the Regent...well, it was up for grabs as to what he was there for.
Managing to make his way to the front of the line, facing Lelouch and his men, Damon gave a quick look to Welkin before turning back to Lelouch and saying during the time "Alright, thank you, Lieutenant. I will handle the rest from here. Now listen, Prince-"
"If you're here to make demands of me Damon, don't. You don't have the authority, nor the right to do so," interrupted Lelouch, surprising Damon completely.
"You've lost German. You don't get to make demands of us," shot back Baldren with an angry glare.
Audrey added by saying "We've won. Therefore we are the ones who dictate the terms of-"
"You spent this battle in a dungeon, not on the battlefield. Lieutenant Gunther here is the one who has managed to lead this army to victory and as such, I will discuss terms with him and him alone. Not some noble child who thinks that they have the right to speak to me as an equal," said Lelouch, interrupting them again. Damon tried to speak again but Wilhelm got his hand up and looked to him with a look that said 'Damon, just shut up', which Damon reluctantly did. The Gassenarls, though objecting to this as well, didn't utter a word as well.
Lelouch then looked back to Welkin and merely asked "Well Lieutenant, what shall you do with me?"
"What do you suppose I could do?" wondered Welkin, still aiming his pistol.
"At this point, I imagine people would either imprison or execute me...perhaps both," answered Lelouch as he crossed his arms and simply awaited his fate.
"Welkin, I know Lelouch. He's beaten, we've won. We should just let him go and have him take his damn army with him," suggested Jack, leaning over to Welkin and offering his opinion. He didn't want to see his friend imprisoned, and he definitely didn't want to see him executed either. He figured that this option might be the best option for all of this. However, Isabella and Faldio felt different about the issue.
"Let him go? This is the Black Prince we're talking about. The German's best general. We take him as a prisoner, lock him up, and squeeze every bit of information we can out of him," declared Isabella, seeing that Lelouch is probably a gold mine of information about the German military.
"Why not just shoot him? Knowing him, he'll have his men break him out of prison and we'll never see him again. As long as he lives, he's a threat. We should just take him down, save us all the trouble," said Faldio, aiming his rifle right at Lelouch's head.
Alicia, knowing full well the weight of this decision, and remembering Faldio's words about trusting Welkin, decided to take a chance and do it. So she looked to Welkin and told him "Whatever you decide, we're with you."
Welkin, however, seemed that he had made up his mind already. He knew that there were benefits to him being a prisoner, and he knew that by shooting him that they would be eliminating a threat not just to Gallia, but for the rest of Europa as well. But he knew the consequences as well. If they imprisoned him, he knew the guards may beat him when no one was looking, perhaps out of revenge for family members lost during the German invasion. And if they shoot him, then that would make them no better than the Germans in regards to prisoners. It seems that there truly was only one way to do this. Looking at Lelouch, Welkin lowered his weapon, put it back in its holster, and in a calm and collected tone said "Here's what you're going to do. You're going to tell your men to stand down. And they're going to pack up and leave this city right now. Do that, and you can go with them."
This reaction caused everyone but squad 7 to react with surprise, as the rest of Welkin's unit lowered their weapons and followed their leaders lead. However, Damon and the Gassenarls quickly made clear their...displeasure about Welkin's decision to let such a valuable and highly dangerous enemy commander going free. Mainly all at once.
"Lieutenant, are you out of your blasted mind?! Do you have any idea how dangerous this man is?! What he's accomplished?!"
"This man is a threat to Gallia, and I would rather die than see him walk away freely. Gallia will not be ruled by a German royal, never again."
"He took the throne from House Randgriz, they who have been blessed by the Valkyrur. Such a blasphemous act cannot be allowed to stand!"
Once again, it was thanks to a glare from the Regent that managed to silence them. For once, it seemed the three were now finally buckling to his authority. Perhaps all that time that they spent in the dungeons of Castle Randgriz had managed to shake something into them. Jack couldn't help but try and hold back his smirk at the sight of the three being silenced by the Regent, who ironically was once the Kaiser of Germania, and also ironically is now the "German ruler" of Gallia, until his niece was capable enough to assume the throne as Archduchess. For jow, it seemed that Welkin had made his decision and he was sticking with it. As he turned around to speak to his men, the German soldiers tensed up and looked like they were about to shoot. However, they were stopped when Lelouch walked up to the front and ordered them to stop.
Looking to Welkin, a perplexed Lelouch asked "Wait a minute. Gunther, after everything I've put you through? You're just going to let me go? Just like that?"
Turning around to face him, Welkin admitted "I am. The battle's over. I don't see a reason for it continue by having you killed. This war won't end today, but this battle will. All I'm asking is for you to take your men and leave. Live to fight another day."
For a while, Lelouch was still stunned, but soon, his expression softened to that of a nice smirk as he told Welkin "You're a good man, Lieutenant. There aren't many men like you left in the world. So be it. I know when I'm beaten. You have my word, I'll leave with my men, as long as your men don't shoot at them as we leave."
"I'll handle that. The soldiers will listen if the order comes from me," said Regent Wilhelm II.
"I appreciate that," said Lelouch as he tipped his hat to his uncle before turning to Colonel Isaac and ordering "Colonel...tell the men to stand down and prepare to head out."
"Yes sir, Your Majesty," replied Isaac with a slight bow.
A Couple of Hours Later
True to his word, Lelouch's men all stood down and stopped fighting. The same was said of the Gallian forces when they got the orders from the Regent to allow the Germans to withdraw. Once the temporary ceasefire was n place, the Germans quickly got to work packing up, collecting their wounded, and preparing to leave the city of Randgriz, where less than two weeks ago, they had strode in like conquerors. To the Germans, it was a shock that for the first time ever, they had seen the Black Prince of Germania defeated in battle, much less ordering them to retreat in the face of the entire army. But they still followed his orders, packing up as quickly and efficiently as they could, working to get out of the city before nightfall. And by early afternoon, they finally set out. Marching in formation, the Germans infantry, with their weapons shouldered, marched down the streets of Randgriz and across the Graz Bridges. Their vehicles, carrying their supplies, wounded, and other items of the German military with them. By now, the last of the German regiments were marching out of the city, while the Gallians simply stood on the sidelines and watched as the Germans willingly left the city for the Gallians.
Still, in the courtyard in the back of Castle Randgriz, Welkin and Squad 7 watched as the last of the Germans marched across the Graz Bridges towards Fort Aslone. To which, this was a sight to behold, as Jack admitted "Now this is something I never thought I'd ever live to see. The German army, actually leaving a city without a fuss."
"Well get used to it. Because it won't last long. We still got a war to fight," said Largo as he lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Aw, come on Largo, enjoy yourself. Our boss just beat the Black Prince at his own game. I think we owe ourselves a celebration," commented Rosie.
"Oh, I'm in. I know a great place we can do that. Assuming the place in question hasn't been destroyed in the fighting," added Jack.
"Let me guess, the Hanged Man?" asked Welkin, already figuring out the place Jack was talking about.
Jack merely nodded as he then followed Welkin (with the others following suit) towards the front of Castle Randgriz. Moving through the castle, they exited the demolished front gates to a surprising sight. The minute they exited the front of the castle, they encountered a large crowd of Gallian Regulars, Militia, and resistance fighters gathered together. Upon seeing the squad responsible for their success in this operation, and several before it, they all erupted into a chorus of cheers, shouts, and clapping. To say this caught the members of Squad 7 by surprise would be an understatement. They weren't expecting anything even remotely close to this. But yet, here were all these people, seemingly congratulating them for what they had managed to accomplish. It seems that they had just become heroes. As they moved towards the crowd, they were met by soldiers shaking their hands, congratulating them, even a few who gave them hugs. And all across the air, they could hear chants that the soldiers were singing.
"GUNTHER! GUNTHER! GUNTHER!"
"SEVENS! SEVENS! SEVENS!"
As this was happening, Regent Wilhelm II and some of the freed officers stood on the castle ramparts over the main gate and watched the celebration happening below. Wilhelm looked to Damon, who was standing next to him, and had a clearly agitated look upon his face as he watched Lieutenant Welkin Gunther and the members of his Militia squad being hailed as a hero. With a deep sigh, Wilhelm commented "It seems that the Lieutenant here is much like his father. And for that, it appears we are all fortunate."
"The Battle of Randgriz ended on May 6, 1935. The whole battle lasted for about nine days. A short battle, but one that cost a lot of lives on both sides. But in the end, Welkin achieved the impossible. He took back Randgriz by leading the Gallian military. As such, while the Germans expected the war to end with the destruction of the Gallian military, the war instead would continue thanks to the capital now back in the hands of the Gallians. I had my doubts but at that moment...I was just glad that this whole fight was over. However, while we had won the battle, we still had to win the war. The Germans weren't going to give up so easily, and they were going to exact vengeance on those responsible for such a humiliating defeat...meaning everyone in Squad 7.
The Battle of Randgriz was over. But the Battle for Gallia...was far from over." - Jack Lawrence
And the first volume of my "On the Gallian Front" series is now finally over.
It still surprises me that it took me this long just to finish this one. Anyway, as this finishes up, I have also posted the first chapter for my second volume for you guys to favorite and follow. I won't be continuing the story for now as I plan on going through my current volume and give it final polishing: fixing spelling and grammar mistakes, adding some new info along with changing or deleting some in general, but will try not to alter the story very much. Once I finish with that I will start writing and publishing a few of my other story ideas that I've been working on for some time while I've been writing the "On the Gallian Front" series. I'm not saying that I'm going to stop writing this story, I do plan on finishing it as I've seen enough unfinished stories on this site and don't want to add mine to the list. I just plan on spreading my wings and working on other series for a bit before I begin writing the second volume of my "On the Gallian Front " series.
However, it will have to wait until after the holidays. I will begin polishing my first volume during this time and once I have the second chapter for the second volume up, then you'll know that the period is over...or at least long over, depending on when I finish it. It may take me some time as given how many chapters there are (more than I had originally planned when I started writing) I won't be able to get it all done in one day. All I ask is for you to be patient until it's done. I won't disappoint you by stop writing altogether, because I'm not, repeat NOT, giving up on this story.
Until my next story appears, see you all soon.
As usual, if you have a question or comment about this chapter or the story in general, simply send me a PM and I'll answer as best as I can. Also, don't forget to leave a review and to leave a comment on my Valkyria Chronicles Forum as well as to add to the polls I have there.
Until then,
