'Build a dream of marble, white jade, bronze, and porcelain, with cedar for beams, draped in satin and adorned with jewels… Raise a temple here, a harem there, place idols, mythical beasts, embellished with glaze, gold, and powder.

The fjord lay still, its surface undisturbed, reflecting the leaden gray storm clouds overhead. Flocks of ravens circled and swooped, heralding the arrival of an icy northern wind.

He found himself an ordinary self-sustaining farmer, possessing nothing more than a barren, desolate wheat field. For centuries, the glory of the Roman Empire had crumbled into dust, and the world lay fractured. Kings warred incessantly, and in this turbulent, grim medieval era, his foremost task was survival—then, to find a way to end the chaos.

The tactical descriptions of the Germans in this book are not purely my invention. Many of them are based on Marshal Rommel’s fifteen infantry tactical maxims and real-life examples of infantry offense and defense throughout various wars.

I aim to create an authentic military work that truly reflects the methods of war—including details like trench digging—so you can experience something different from conventional military literature! Haha!

He exploded the British fleet, created the amphibious landing stream, navigated through the small island states of Europe, and climbed to the highest peak of his life step by step with extraordinary courage and vigour, and listened to the cheers of millions of people with the sacred halo of the Saviour: Hurrah, Joachim!

2.5 (2 reviews)As a World War II history fan, you may admire the professional quality of the German army, the envy of the American army's strong material strength, admire the Soviet army's tenacious fighting spirit. If you can personally experience the military glory of the German army at the beginning of the war, or in the latter part of the war as an Allied soldier over the exciting addiction to World War II is of course very cool, but if the soul to the end of the war in the German army “Nordic” division of a volunteer body ......
Unfortunately, just graduated from college! Unfortunately, Lynn, who just graduated from college, is such an unlucky guy. Once on the scene to fight for survival, in bloody battles forging sharpening, gradually from the rookie grew into the elite, but no matter how hard he tried, but also can not change the momentum of history. Retreat, retreat, all the way back to Berlin.
