Chapter 102 - Brazilian Barrier

[Semisphere - British Team War Room]

(Charlotte and the rest were now back to their war room and the she was being scolded by Victoria non-stop)

"Swear to me that you'll never do something stupid like that ever again!" Victoria shouted

"Yes yes I promise alright? Stop shouting already.." Charlotte replied

"Did it even cross your mind that even if both of you managed to white flag each other, you're the one who'll receive the most backlash from this?!"

"I know that! That's why we decided to end it as a tie!"

"A tie is just as bad since they might spread rumors about how the White Tiger managed to duel the Conquering Princess and ended up with a tie!"

"Gero isn't the kind of person that would go and spread a rumor and defile a sacred thing such as a duel."

"What makes you say that? You just met him and know nothing about him."

"Woman's intuition! For your information I do know something about him! I know his name, his nickname is TsunTora, and he's strong enough to fight against me!" Charlotte said with a smile

"T-TsunTora? Anyways, you were hardly serious in that fight, you and your crew weren't even using your real tank..when did you start practicing with that Avenger again?" Victoria asked

"A week before the tournament..but I'm sure Gero wasn't serious as well!"

"He looked pretty serious to me.."

"You saw the way he and his crew fought right? Their style is so unorthodox to ours that it catches me off guard. I'm sure they have a lot more tricks up their sleeves!"

"I hope you're wrong about that. If there's one thing I'd hate to happen, it's to fight someone as strong as you."

"Come on, it can't be that bad! You saw the smile on his face! He was having so much fun that he didn't notice his rifle was empty! The same goes for me!"

"Well I'm glad you had fun. I know for sure that you needed it."

"I sure did.."

"Just don't forget to tell the team that watched your fight to not talk about it too much. It might bring unnecessary anxiety to the others and start ridiculous rumors."

"I know I know, I'll tell them at our next meeting.."

(Even if Charlotte and Victoria managed to limit the talks about their duel they still couldn't stop rumors from spreading. Little did they know that there were others that witnessed their fight from a distance. Scouts from Australia and Canada were watching with their binoculars the whole time and they just went on ahead and told everybody they could)

[Semisphere - Australian Team War Room]

"You're lying!" said an Australian tanker

"No mate, I'm telling you the bloody oath! The Japan team's white tiger fought the conquering princess and it ended with a tie!"

"It was so intense that I might've soiled my grundies while watching mate!" another soldier reacted

[Semisphere - Canadian Team War Room]

"I wish you could've seen the white tiger in action! She was a beauty!" a Canadian scout said

"Eh!? So you're telling me that the white tiger is on par with the conquering princess in terms of skill?!"

"Either that or the princess got weaker!"

"I'll bet you 50 loonies the princess was just toying with them!"

"Make it a hundred and I'll bet you it wasn't luck!"

(The rumors spread like wildfire across the Semisphere and eventually everyone knew about the duel and it was a big mess of different stories and perspectives that nobody knew what to believe. Some teams even used every available resources they got just to find any information about the white tiger)

[Semisphere - American Team War Room]

"All we know is his name, Nishizumi Gero, aside from that nothing else appears." Megan said

"Didn't we read a report about a Nishizumi that fought against Germany and won?" Arnold asked

"There were two, the first was a Nishizumi Shiho which was a report made twenty years ago and the second was a Nishizumi Maho which was a report made 10 years ago."

"How are the two related?"

"They're mother and eldest daughter. There is another daughter named Nishizumi Miho that caught the eyes of the International Tankery League for defeating her own sister in a National Tournament in Japan."

"One big happy family..then who the hell is this guy? We got reports dating back 20 years and no sign of him. Then he amazingly appears this year going toe to toe with the princess!"

[Semisphere - Russian Team War Room]

"Is there a chance that this white tiger is just a rookie crew that just started tankery a couple of weeks before the tournament?" Yuri asked

"Impossible, to be able to fight the Conquering Princess to a tie is not something a rookie crew can pull off." Belka answered

"Then the only explanation would be that his records got erased years ago. For all we know he's been doing tankery since birth."

"They did that just so we wouldn't find anything about him?"

"It's their first time to ever step foot in this stage. Not a bad idea to keep their strongest chess piece a secret."

"Well it's not a secret anymore. In fact it turned into an anxiety inducing rumor that brought the morale of our team down."

"I'd be scared too if I found out there's someone else that's as strong as the princess out there.."

"Same for me. So Komandir, what are your orders?" Belka asked

"Tell the team to ignore the rumors and focus on preparing for the match against Germany. There won't be a fight against the White Tiger or the Conquering Princess unless we defeat the twins."

"Understood, Komandir!"

[Semisphere - J.N.S.T War Room]

(There is only one day left before the Elimination rounds begin so the members of the JNST are having a meeting about their opponent which will be the Brazilian Team)

"As you all know, this will be our first ever match internationally! It's a completely different kind of fight than what we are used to in Japan. I believe the duel between Eiji-kun and the princess yesterday is the perfect example of how high the skill quality is of the teams here." Kaede said

"Are you implying that the rest of the other tankers are that strong?" Saori asked with a worried voice

"There is a possibility but nothing is certain, all we could do is prepare against every possible situation we could encounter during the battle. First things first, information is the key to become well prepared in any battle. Assam-san will now take the floor and share to everyone all the information we have gathered for the past three years including new ones."

"Thank you very much commander! Our opponent tomorrow is the Brazilian Team famously known for their strategy called the Brazilian Barrier." Assam informed

"Barrier? This won't take a turn for the sci-fi genre now would it?" Nonna reacted

"They were called that because of their strategy to literally stop any kind of attacks by using a strong barrier filled with tanks as a defensive mechanism. Their strategy may seem simple but the other teams are still very cautious of them."

"They are still a professional tankery team after all." Anchovy said

"That's right, their tank formations are hard and fast. Their gunners are also very accurate and disciplined with their shots. They are in no way pushovers so it's best not to underestimate them."

"What tanks do they field?" Katyusha asked

"For the past years they have used mainly American tanks."

M5 Stuart Light Tanks

M4A1 Sherman Medium Tanks

M4A3E2(76)W Jumbo Tanks

"Uwaaa~ Jumbos again.." Toshi reacted

"I'm having flashbacks from the fight with Red Wings.." Tojo said

"They don't have any tank destroyers?" Nina asked

"Any rocket or artillery type vehicles?" Alina asked

"They didn't have any of those in the past but we should expect that they have something up their sleeves this time."

"So how does their current tank formation look right now?" Sencha asked

"They are using the diamond formation. They formed one big diamond sized formation with Jumbos in front and Shermans inside while the Stuarts are spread out all around the diamond for recon."

"That's a big ass diamond consisting of 50 tanks!" Takashi reacted

"The Game Mode for all matches during the elimination rounds will be Flag Tank Battle. With that said, their formation will look like this illustration." Kaede said

"The Red Units are the Jumbos, the Blue Units are the Stuarts, the Yellow Units are the Shermans, and the Green Unit at the middle will be their flag tank."

"What if they don't place their flag tank in the middle and hide it somewhere else?" Akane asked

"That would be the worst thing they could do since in that case we would just need to ignore their diamond formation and just straight up hunt their flag tank."

"Any suggestions on how we will get through their formation?" Shiori asked

"Surround their whole formation with our tanks and bombard them until their armor peels off!" Kay suggested

"That would be the logical thing to do if their formation was standing still. The moment they start to move as one they can break through our thin lines with ease. What do we do then?" Darjeeling said

"How about we move our encirclement as well when their formation moves? That way we'll keep them in the middle inside the kill zone at all times." Shizuka suggested

"We could try it but since we've never practiced that, there is a high risk of failure." Shiori said

"We also need to take into account the limit of shells per tank. We might run out of ammo before we peel off their armor since not all of our main guns could penetrate their armor." Asparagus said

"Hey Assam, do we need to break through their formation? How about we just take high ground and snipe their flag tank from afar?" Naomi asked

"That option would be unavailable since the battlefield we will be using is all flat ground, no hills or mountains, just pockets of trees and foliage for cover."

"If we use our classified tanks wouldn't we have a higher chance of winning this match?" Fukuda suggested

"Victory is not certain even with a higher chance. I believe that we should go with Kay-dono's suggestion!" Nishi said

"I agree too!" Haruto said

"You're right, and besides, those classified tanks are reserved for the finals. We would lose a big advantage if we were to reveal them this early on." Klara said

"Alright then, is everyone in favor of Kay-san's strategy? There are a lot of variables we need to prepare for but I think it's worth a shot." Shiori said

"Let's go with that!"

"Ok then that's decided. The next piece of information is about the Brazil Team's Commander and Tank Ace. Their commander's name is Manuel de Moraes while their Tank Ace's name is Abilo Fontes."

[Overall Commander of Brazil]

Name : Manuel de Moraes

Tank : M4A3E2(76)W Jumbo Tank

[Tank Ace of Brazil]

Name : Abilo Fontes

Tank : M4A1 Sherman Tank

"Oh yeah I forgot that he was the Tank Ace of Brazil.." Erika said

"You know that guy Erika?" Leila asked

"He was there when I beat the shit out of the Tank Ace of America a couple of days ago."

"Apparently the two were close friends and the nickname of the Brazil Team came from the Tank Ace of America, Eugene."

"I guess that explains why both of them are assholes.."

"Commander Manuel is highly educated and is also a skilled tactician. He can bring out the true potential of his team, especially their Tank Ace. Both of them are definitely above the average tanker and must not be taken lightly." Assam said

"HAI!" everyone responded

"Any questions so far?"

"Here Assam-san! Is there a criteria or requirement to be a Tank Ace?" Kin asked

"The title Tank Ace is given to the tank crew that has the most tank kills recorded in their team. That includes tank kills in both practice, exhibition and official matches! The I.T.A hosts a formal event when a title is given."

"Ohh! I see, thank you very much!"

"How many kills does Abilo Fontes have?" Ono asked

"According to the I.T.A his official kill count is 208 total."

"So many!"

"Let me guess, the Tank Ace of Britain is the Conquering Princess with the most kills?"

"Actually no, their Tank Ace is Victoria with a recorded kill count of 346 tank kills.."

"Ohh..I thought for sure it would be Charlotte.."

"She comes in second with 321 tank kills!"

"Damn..that's a lot.." Hajime said

"I'm sure the majority of those are from practice and exhibition matches.." Jajka chuckled

"What's the difference between practice matches and exhibition matches in tankery?" Ken asked

"According to the twins, they go up against college and university tankery teams in Germany but I don't know about the others though." Erika said

"Then for exhibition matches they go up against other teams from other countries. This serves both as training and sometimes as fund raisers!"

"So the practice match we had with Germany the other day counts also?" Ikeda asked

"Yes it does! So whoever has the most kills during that match is the runner up to be Japan's first ever Tank Ace!"

"Ohh! Who had the most kills then?" Saemonza asked

"It was recorded that the highest kill count was 10 kills and that would be Jouko-san! The White Witch of Jatkosota!" Assam announced

"OOOOOHHHHH!" everyone was surprised

"Congratulations Jouko!" Mikko cheered

"As expected of our little witch!" Mika bragged

"T-Thank you.." Jouko shyly replied to everyone

"Look at you blushing! So cute!" Aki teased

"S-Stop it.."

"We'll be counting on you and your shots more than ever! Jouko-san!"

"Yeah, I won't let you down!" Jouko smiled

"Alright, if there are no more questions let's start training now!" Kaede ordered

"HAI!"

(The team trained the rest of the day and before they realized it was already night time. After eating a hearty meal all of them went straight to bed to rest up. Normally it would've been very hard for everyone to have a good night's sleep because they'd be too nervous about their first ever international match but all of them were sound asleep the moment their heads hit their pillows. It wasn't long before morning and they woke up early, dressed up, regrouped, and were now standing by in front of the gate of their starting point. Gero stood on top of the White Tiger and gazed upon his comrades)

[J.N.S.T Starting Point]

"In a couple of minutes these gates will open and the match against Brazil will begin! This is it! This is what we've been training for the last three years! I know you are all ready! And I know you will all do great! I have one final order to give you all before this starts!"

"What is it?" Kaede asked

"HAVE FUN AND DO YOUR BEST SO THAT YOU WON'T HAVE ANY REGRETS!"

(Those words were very normal and simple words but for them those were the only words that they needed. Everyone smiled and replied with their loudest voice)

"HAI!"

"Thank you very much, all of you."

(An alarm started to ring as the big gates in front of them slowly opened, shining the sunlight behind Gero. He grabbed his katana and unsheathed it but just showed only a little bit of the blade. His team looked at him and the eyes and smiled)

"Remember that I will always be in front of you!"

"LET'S GO!" Erika shouted

"OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!" everyone shouted their battle cry

(Everyone mounted their tanks and started their engines. After the gate was fully opened the roaring engines of their tanks echoed inside the tunnel and out they went into the battlefield. The crowd cheers and shouts at the appearance of the Japan Team and the same support can be heard for the Brazil Team. Both teams parked their tanks at a standby area and all crew members were to go to the center of the field to greet their opponents. At the middle were ten official judges of the I.T.A that will be responsible for judging and watching the entire match)

"This is an official Elimination Match of the 18th International Tankery Tournament! The participants are the Brazilian Tankery Team and Japanese National Senshado Team! The mode will be a Flag Tank Match! The team that destroys the Flag Tank of the other team wins! Both teams greet each other!"

"Pleasure to meet you! I am Commander Manuel de Moraes!" greeted the Brazilian commander

"My name is Yamato Kaede, it is an honor!"

"Let us have a fun and fair fight, senhora Kaede!"

"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!" Kaede bowed

"ONEGAISHIMASU!" the whole J.N.S.T Team greeted and bowed

(Both shook each other's hands and both teams returned back to their tanks. After all tank crews were boarded and ready a large timer was seen in a big screen and counted down from 30 seconds)

"Everyone! Get ready! A brand new chapter in our lives is about to start! We are presented with a challenge and victory awaits us! What do we do?!"

"WE GRAB IT!"

"Sensha Zenshin!" Kaede ordered

[Tanks forward!]

[JNST Tank Lineup]

Type 98 Ke-Ni B Light Tank [x8]

Type 4 Chi-To Medium Tank [x30]

Type 5 Ho-Ri II Tank Destroyer [x8]

Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E Heavy Tank [4]

(At maximum speed the tanks of both teams advanced through the battlefield. The Brazilians formed their diamond formation just as expected while the JNST started to scout their positions. The flag tank they have chosen was the Duck Team or Noriko's Type 98 Ke-Ni B Light Tank)

"All light tanks scatter! Find their formation quickly!" Mika ordered

"Roger!"

"Duck Team please find a great hiding spot! Preferably a place where you can see in all directions to avoid being snuck up on! Once you've chosen a spot, inform me and only me of your location!" Kaede ordered

"Wilco! Good luck everyone!" Noriko responded

"You're not going to assign guards for them?" Shiori asked

"Nah, they're better off alone. Harder to find and makes it easier for them to move."

"Commander! We found them! The Brazilians are already in their formation about 1,000 meters straight ahead!" Pepperoni radioed

"Good work! Which direction are they headed?"

"They're not moving ma'am! They've positioned themselves in the middle of an open field!"

"Is their flag tank with them?" Shiori asked

"Yes! It's in the middle of their formation but I can't confirm what tank it is because it's covered by the others too well!"

"Looks like they're avoiding running into an ambush." Maho said

"How about we lure them?" Miho asked

"Let's try that. Kay's platoon will engage the enemy together with Eiji's Team and lure them in! The rest of the platoons form an ambush! Tank Destroyers will mix in with the other platoons to distribute the fire power!" Kaede ordered

"Roger!" everyone responded

"Let's go!"

"Right behind you darling!" Kay cheered

(Gero and Kay's platoon headed for the enemy formation while the others prepared an ambush.)

"Everyone, take up positions behind those trees! Enemy tank formation up ahead!"

"Aniki, is that the Jumbo? Will our shell penetrate that?" Kin asked

"Nope, it'll bounce clean off but you can aim for the tanks behind the Jumbos! Those you can take out!"

"Roger! On target!"

"Everyone else, do the same! Ignore the Jumbos and aim for the Shermans behind! Pick your targets!"

"Ready!"

"FIRE!"

(A salvo of 88mm and 75mm shells were fired at the enemy tank formation and just before the shells landed the Jumbos suddenly tightened up their formation. It was as if a steel door closed on them. Only two shells got through and white flagged two M4A1 Sherman Tanks)

"What the hell was that?!" Emi complained

"They were able to adjust their formation that quickly?!" Asparagus reacted

"Of course it wouldn't be that easy.." Erika smiled

"We're lucky already we got two kills from that.." Caesar said

"Commander! Enemy tanks sighted north of us! Two casualties!" a Brazilian tanker reported

"Understood, all tanks get ready to move. Diamond Formation, forward!" Manuel ordered

(The whole diamond formation then started to move all together in sync and headed for Gero's direction)

"Here they come!" Toshi shouted

"Should we fire again?" Shinji asked

"No, our objective is to provoke and lure them only so our job is done!"

"All units pull back!" Kay ordered

(Gero and Kay's platoons now headed back to their main unit which has finished preparing the kill zone)

"Kaede-chan, we're on our way back and we're bringing some angry company along.."

"What did you do to make them angry?"

"Uhh well, we kinda blew up two of their friends so yeah.."

"Don't worry Eiji-kun, we have friends as well!"

"Awesome!"

"Once you arrive back here, hide yourselves at the edge and when the enemy formation enters the kill zone you'll block off their escape!" Kaede ordered

"Roger that!"

(The JNST's main unit waited patiently behind trees and they could feel the earth rumble as the enemy tank formation approached. Gero and Kay's platoon arrived and hid behind a pocket of trees as ordered and they soon saw the first Jumbo emerge from the forest)

"All units hold fire, wait for their whole formation to enter the kill zone." Shiori ordered

"Tank Destroyers, prioritize those Jumbos, your 105mm is the biggest gun we have so we're counting on you!" Kaede ordered

"Commander! They've all entered the killzone and stopped at the center!" Koume reported

"ALL TANKS FIRE!" Kaede ordered

(The entirety of the JNST tanks opened fired a barrage of shells towards the enemy tank formation and just like before the Jumbos tightened up took the brunt of the barrage head on. A huge dust cloud engulfed the enemy tank formation and made it hard to confirm the situation. Gero and Kay's platoon then blocked off the exit route of the Brazilians and waited for further orders until he saw muzzle flash from within the smoke)

"INCOMING!"

(A salvo of shells were fired from within the smoke and hit the positions of the JNST. Their positions were accurately hit by the gunners of the Brazilian team and ten of their tanks got white flagged)

"Sound off!" Kaede radioed

"Marie-san, and Tojo-kun are out!" Shizuka reported

"Nishi-san and Sudou-kun as well!" Shiori reported

"Kal, Sakuraba, and Takashi's tanks are no longer in the fight!" Naomi reported

"Tamada, Caesar, and Nagura got white flagged!" Fukuda reported

"What about their side?!" Katyusha shouted

(As the smoke cleared from the kill zone they saw that only two Jumbos and two Shermans got white flagged in the Brazilian Team)

"Four of theirs for ten of ours, we'll be the one to run out of tanks first at this rate!" Darjeeling said

"Damn it! All tanks fire at will! Keep up the pressure!" Kaede ordered

(The JNST now fired at the Brazilians non-stop while receiving fire from them as well. Suddenly they noticed a different kind of tank inside the enemy tank formation and it scared them)

"What are those?!" Barley reacted

"Those are M10 Wolverines! Tank Destroyers!" Jajka shouted

"How many do they have?!" Hosomi asked

"A lot! There's more than ten as far as I can see!" Tamada answered

"Just keep shooting and moving or you'll get white flagged immediately!" Carpaccio said

(The formation of the Brazil team was designed to block outside fire from enemy tanks by tightening up the formation at the last second. After which they loosen up the formation again so that the tank destroyers from within their formation can shoot out. Gero was amazed by the uniqueness of their opponent's strategy and couldn't help but to watch from atop the White Tiger with his binoculars with a smile.)

"Hoy Bakatora! Get down before I drag you down!" Erika shouted

"We'll lose at this rate! We're gonna have to change things up a bit!"

"What do you mean onii-chan?" Miho asked

"Their Tank Ace may be an asshole but their commander is a cunning guy! We've been totally outsmarted!"

"What do we do then?" Maho asked

"Stay here and hold on as long as you can! I'll be back! Ken, take me to Kaede-chan's location!"

"Moving!"

(The White Tiger then accelerated towards Kaede's tank and then Gero informed her of the current situation. She was very surprised but after a few seconds she calmed down after Gero whispered something to her)

"All tanks load smoke shells! Aim for their formation! FIRE!" Kaede ordered

(The tank formation of Brazil was enveloped with smoke and a small breathing room was created)

"Pull back to sector delta! Regroup at sector delta!"

"You heard the commander! Retreat!" Darjeeling ordered

"INCOMING!" Kay shouted

(The JNST was being peppered by shells from behind while they were retreating. The Brazilian team was right behind them and shooting while moving their diamond formation at the same time)

"We're getting picked off one by one back here!"

"Miho, Maho, Erika! Aim for the lead Jumbo! On my mark! FIRE!"

(The three Tiger Is fired their 88mm cannons and white flagged the lead Jumbo then Gero's tank fired off a smoke shell in front of the Jumbos to block their vision. This gave them a little bit of distance for their main unit to regroup properly)

"Status?!" Kaede asked

"Five Ho-Ri IIs are operational.." Jouko said

"All Tiger Is accounted for!" Maho radioed

"We still have 17 Chi-To tanks." Shiori said

"I can't find Rosehip-senpai!" Barley radioed

"She won't respond via radio either!" Sencha said

"She'll be fine! Either her radio was damaged or she's speeding off somewhere!" Pekoe said

"That makes four in my platoon.." Mika reported

"We have 30 tanks here and 1 flag tank in hiding while the enemy team still has at least 40. Please tell me you have a plan now sis." Shiori said

"I do, but you're not going to like it."

"Let's hear it then.."

"Listen up! There is only one way to break that diamond formation! We have to hit it hard at one of the four points like a battering ram. We take out the tank at the tip then push through all at once and pry open a path all the way inside to their flag tank and destroy it." Kaede explained

"All or nothing huh? I'm game!" Takashi said

"Let's form the battering ram now! Form two rows, the first row will be the Ho-Ris and the second will be the Tiger Is! Behind the rows will be three columns consisting of the Chi-To tanks at both sides and the Ke-Ni tanks in the middle!"

(As they form the battering ram the enemy tanks of Brazil draws closer to their position. All of a sudden they were hit by a barrage of smoke shells engulfing their diamond formation again.)

"Smoke screen again? All tanks punch through that wall of smoke!" Manuel ordered

(As their tank formation exits the smoke screen they couldn't see that JNST tanks ahead of them.)

"COMMANDER! ON OUR RIGHT FLANK!" a Brazilian tanker shouted

(Manuel looked to his right and saw the battering ram of JNST rushing towards their right flank)

"FIRE!"

(The JNST tank destroyers in front of the battering ram fired their main guns and struck the side armor of two of the Jumbos in front of them and white flagged them)

"All units button up and brace for impact! The tanks at the side open fire!" Shiori ordered

"Fire at will! Stop them at all costs!" Manuel ordered

(The tanks of Brazil opened fire at the battering ram of JNST but the Ho-Ri tank destroyers were able to deflect the majority of the shells because of their tough frontal armor. The Chi-To tanks were also firing while on the move and were applying somewhat pressure towards the Jumbos)

"It's no use commander! They'll hit us!"

"HOLD FAST MEN! BRACE!"

(In a matter of seconds the force of thirty tanks in the form of a battering ram of the JNST resembled a steel sledgehammer coming down on a big piece of diamond and cracking it. The Ho-Ris took the brunt of the impact and pushed away the white flagged Jumbos out of the way. The Tiger tanks then got through and pushed the M4 shermans out of the way making way for the Chi-Tos and Ke-Nis to flood into the enemy formation)

"GO! GO! GO! PUSH THROUGH!" Kaede shouted

"Enemy M10s directly ahead! I see their flag tank!" Shiori reported

"I'll go in for the kill! Alice, follow me through!" Mika ordered

"Right behind you nee-chan!"

(Tanks from both teams were being white flagged left and right. The whole formation has become a clusterfuck of chaos and close quarters combat. Mika and Alice were maneuvering their light tanks towards the enemy flag tank and were dodging every shell fired at them. Eventually they arrived at the center but one of the M10s was aiming right at Mika's tank. The tank destroyer fired but Alice used her tank to shield Mika's tank and got white flagged)

"Alice!" Mika shouted

"GO NEE-CHAN!" Alice shouted back

(Mika didn't waste the chance given to her by Alice and drifted her tank past the remaining defenders and ended up at the back of the enemy flag tank. But before Mika ordered to fire she realized a very terrifying thing)

"Mika-san!?"

"Fake.."

"Eh?" Aki was confused

"It's a fake flag tank.." Mika said

(Just as Mika said, the M10 Wolverine that they thought was the flag tank of the Brazil Team was in fact just a regular tank. The tank destroyer was using its antenna as a flagpole and attacked a red handkerchief at the top to make it look like the flag tank. Commander Manuel had a very sinister smile on his face as he saw that his plan worked like a charm)

"It was a bold and daring plan, but in the end was futile." Manuel said with a smile

Coming Up Next : Chapter 103 - Queen's Order

Author's Note :

Hi everyone! The elimination rounds have begun and the JNST are already in a dangerous situation of getting wiped out by the Brazilian Team! How will they turn the tables and see the road to victory? Stay tuned!
