Alfred could see the chaos unfolding outside. People running for their lives, But from what?
10 seconds has passed, and he got his answer: 2 dragons managed to do a fly-by and killed a handful of civilians. But that's not all.
"What the hell is that thing?!" asked one of the tourist, who took refuge in the pub
"Holy shit…" said another visitor, pointing his fingers at the pig-man like monstrosity.
Pulling out his Walther P38, he shouted to the panicking crowd "BARRICADE THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS! SOLDIERS OF THE REICH, AND ANYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO SHOOT, FOLLOW ME! WE WILL NOT LET THESE MURDERERS CONTINUE THEIR RAMPAGE!"
Upon exiting the pub, he could see the defenses that the local police and the Quick Reaction Forces put up: Barricades, to try and stall the invading forces until the Heer arrives. He could also see the chaos that was happening right in front of his eyes; Berliners getting impaled by spears, women being taken to the cages, probably as war trophies, men being crushed by those pig-like creatures, and the dragons picking anyone they see off.
Quickly, he ran towards the barricades as fast as he could, with him was the soldiers and volunteers, who risked their lives just to protect the people of the Reich from this barbaric attack. When he arrived at the barricades, he saw how disorganized the defense was. Ammo was already depleted. So, he did what every officer should do. He took command of the defenses, and asked one of the soldiers, particularly one that can run fast. One man raised his hand.
"What is your name?" asked Alfred
"S-Stephen, sir! Lieutenant Stephen, of the United American Defense Forces, sir! I was sent here by my father to attend the Fuhrer's speech. He said that I might be "encouraged" to take my job seriously if I did watch the Fuhrer's speech." He said, and explained why he was here.
((The United American Defense Forces was the new Defense force that the Reich created that would act as the primary defense forces of the states that are under the Reich's control in the continent of America. It operated from Canada up at the north to Argentina down at the south. Hence the name "United American Defense Forces".)
"Right, listen up. I want you to go to the nearest police station from here. Ask for any ammo available, and bring it here, as soon as possible!" Alfred ordered.
"Jawohl, Herr Sturmbannfuhrer!" he said, before running off.
After that, he faced the police officers and soldiers of the Quick Reaction Forces to command them.
"What's the situation?" Alfred approached the man that was apparently commanding the lines before he arrived.
"Not good, Herr Sturmbannfuhrer. Out of 57 men, we already lost 11, mostly due to the arrow barrages of those barbarians."
"Then why not engage the archers?"
"They are way behind the enemy lines, Herr. We might need the help of the Panzer divisions to break through those lines."
"Mhm. Carry on."
"Jawohl, Herr Sturmbannfuhrer! H-hey! YOU! DO NOT STEP BACK! I'LL SHOOT YOU IF YOU LEAVE YOUR POST! HEY! SHOOT THAT MAN! HEY! Oh, damn it." *BANG*
He shot the swordsman that charged up to the barricades. T'was a foolish decision.

-10th October, 1964, Brandenburg Gate (a.k.a Outpost Augustus by the Imperial forces), Berlin, Greater German Reich-
As the battle rages on, the Legate observes the Brandenburg Gate.
[How did these savages managed to build such a great structure? And the buildings they have! Even the city itself! It dwarfed anything that the Saderan Empire has. And this world? The history of this world? He was very excited to learn everything about this world! But what worries him is the language barrier.] His thoughts were disturbed by an explosion.
Then, an officer approached him. "Sir Caliderus! We have captured a building. It looks like a library, because, well, a library has a lot of books."
-Ooh! Such luck!- "Alright, let's take a look at this library, shall we?"
The journey to the library was gruesome. The legate, now known Caliderus, witnessed rape, pillaging, and mass murder.
Upon arriving at the library, he could still smell the blood that was spilt in the building. He looked up at the words hanging from the ceiling, to his surprise.. It was the same as the Saderan language! Well, not really. But close!
"History Section.. Hmmm…" He could see the books that surprised him! This Franco-Prussian War that united a country called "Germany" into an Empire. Another book, that has the same sign as the armbands that these so called savages are wearing, and the flags that fly throughout the city. Apparently, it is the flag of the Greater German Reich.
*BOOM*
He was disrupted by a large explosion, and claps of thunder. But he looked up at the sky, it wasn't raining. But he did see something that made his heart sink.
Up at the sky, flying proudly, was a large, circle-like floating object (blimps, or zeppelins), and with it, was the scary of them all. Steel dragons. A lot of them. He quickly ran to his horse and went back to the Outpost. The scenes were more gruesome while he was travelling back to the outpost. Large steel elephants roam the streets, vaporizing his forces. Metal chariots with rods on top, killed his forces with ease.
"These rods, these must be their weapons! If I could get one, I can send it back to our Empero-"
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
His horse slumped to the floor, dead. To his side was his companion, also dead. He was already smart to think that what took him down were the other worlder's weapons.
[Am I going to be a slave? A slave that will work for his entire life? Will they kill me? Will they-]
His face was met by the butt of those steel rods.
-IT HURTS!-

Alfred was getting impatient. His pistol was already dry, so he had to order his men on the barricade to pick up whatever you can use as a club.
"WE WILL NOT LOSE! WE MUST NOT LOSE! WE MUST WIN THIS BATTLE, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR REVENGE ON THESE BARBARIANS! WE MUST WIN!"
"Or die trying."
All faces turned to whoever said that last word. And their mouths dropped. It was an officer with the Army!
"Finally! Why did it take you so long?!" Alfred asked the officer commanding the reinforcements
"This is not the only location where it is happening. It is also happening on the other side of the city. The same structure (He pointed at the Roman-like structure), or, the government called it, the Gate, also opened there, where we were first deployed." He explained, calmly
"Mhm. Doesn't matter now. What matters is that you are here. Take my friend here, His name is Hans Vandenburg. He might be a lazy one, a drunkard. But he can get the job done." Alfred recommended that they should get Hans to join them, as he was just drinking, and shooting. Not much, not like the others who were running from one side to the other, to reinforce the lines.
"Alright. Come on, let's get you and your men out of here. We'll get rid of this shitty barricade."
"Hey, that barricade saved our lives"
Both men chuckled.
It was going to be a very long day in Berlin.

"AAAAHHH!"
"RUN! NOW! WHILE YOU STIL- AAAAGHHHHHHH!"
"BY THE GODS! WHY IS THIS HAPPE NING?!"
"RETREAT! SOUND THE RETREAT! NOW!"
"BUT MY FRIEND! HE'S WOUNDED!"
"LEAVE HIM!"
Soldiers and officers alike were panicking. The Imperial Army, lost within a day. Lost almost all of their forces. This was the most shameful defeat of the Saderan Empire. Why? Because the enemy's steel dragons, steel horseless chariots of death, and those steel elephants showed up. It earned the nickname "Steel Legion", courtesy of the ranks of the Imperial Army.
As the humans of the Imperial Army retreated, the non-humans remained. Probably to cover the retreat of the humans. They prepared to defend the Gate with their lives.
-2 minutes later-
"RAAGHR-"
*BANG*
A soldier shot the beast in the head. He enjoyed executing these beasts. Why? He learned that his sister was raped by one. After playing with her, they chopped her up, and turned her into lunch.
This soldier was Obergefreiter Josef Schmidt, of the Heer.
His desire to cross that portal, and avenge his sister's death, was still boiling in his mind. Little does he know that this desire would be granted, but at the cost of someone in his life.
