Chapter 96: Pioneer

Earl Antusol rode his most beloved pure white war horse "Pineapple Silk" briskly onto a small hill higher than the nearby one, raised his head slightly, and glanced at the sparse crowd on the distant plain, The corners of his mouth were raised, his expression full of disdain.

"These guys are the army of the Rulson Kingdom? Look at this posture, I'm afraid there are not even 5,000 people. Where do they have the courage to stop me here?"

"Lord Earl, don't underestimate them. You see, the army of the Rulson Kingdom has already equipped a lot of military magic machines, even more than our legion has. We need to be more careful in a while. Row."

"A military magic machine?" Earl Antusol snorted coldly. "You guys talk about this thing all day long, as if you can't fight without it. In my opinion, it's nothing special. With just such a small number of people on the opposite side, my elite heavy cavalry can kill you in one charge. They all worked it out."

"This... Lord Earl, I think it's better to be careful, just in case..."

"It's nothing in case!" Earl Antusol waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the advice of his loyal adjutant. "Pass the order, the heavy cavalry brigade is ready to charge. We must teach these guys who dared to resist our Kandela Empire a bloody lesson from the very beginning!"

The adjutant glanced at the scattered line in the distance, no matter how you looked at it, there were only a few thousand people, including the army of the Kingdom of Luerxun who didn't even have a horse, couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that even if the opposite side had the so-called military magic The machine should not be a concern, so he stopped persuading Earl Antusol and passed on his order.

Earl Antusol led the Glorious Legion, known as one of the top ten elite legions of the Candela Empire, and their task was to act as the vanguard and be the first to launch an attack on the Rulson Kingdom.

Half a month ago, because the Principality of Standing rejected the request of the Candela Empire to ban the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Candela Empire formally declared war on the Principality of Standing on this ground.

subsequently. And because the Rulson Kingdom rejected the Kendela Empire's request for an excuse, the Kandla Empire declared war on the Rulson Kingdom.

The Glorious Legion led by Earl Antusol was the first army of the Candela Empire to enter the Rulson Kingdom during this war, also known as the Vanguard Legion.

"Hey. It was hard for me to win this vanguard position. This battlefield is the moment when I, Romance Antusol, will shine!"

Seeing that the heavy cavalry brigade had already set up their positions and got ready, Earl Antusol raised his saber high.

"charge!"

"Glory shines on my heart!"

Three thousand heavily armored cavalry, who even sat down on their horses and covered their entire bodies with a thick layer of armor, roared in unison. Three thousand war horses raised their front hooves together and rushed out at the same time.

The cavalry and horses alone already weighed more than one ton, and with the heavy armor and weapons on their bodies, the weight could easily approach an astonishing two tons.

When such a heavy cavalry charged, the momentum was already astonishing enough.

But now a full 3,000 heavy cavalry charged at the same time, and the momentum was naturally extremely shocking.

The ground trembled non-stop due to the galloping horses, and the dull sound of iron hooves stepping on the soil mixed together, resounding non-stop throughout the sky like thunder.

Seeing his heavy cavalry brigade rushing towards the army formation of the Rulson Kingdom on the opposite side like a tide, Earl Antusol laughed wildly.

"Ah. What a beautiful formation, what a beautiful voice! The little Rulson Kingdom is so arrogant that it dares to be an enemy of our great Candela Empire. Today is the day to bury you!"

"Whoosh—"

Suddenly there was a strange sound, as if something broke through the air at high speed.

Earl Antusol looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment, and saw a fiery red light flying up from the army formation of the Rulson Kingdom, flying straight to this side.

"Hmph... some unrefined gadgets..."

Earl Antusol hadn't finished his sentence when he saw that fiery red light had fallen into the heavy cavalry brigade that was charging.

"boom--"

A group of unusually bright flames exploded suddenly, and then there was an extremely strong explosion sound.

Countless heavy cavalry in heavy armor and sitting horses soared into the air amidst the flames and explosions. Even some stumps and broken arms flew into the sky together.

Just suffering from this attack, the heavy cavalry brigade, which was originally in complete and tight formation, was abruptly broken through a huge gap.

However, this is not the end.

Immediately after that ray of fiery red light, more than a dozen rays of light flew out from the army formation of the Luerxun Kingdom, and landed on the formation of the heavy cavalry brigade in an instant.

"Boom boom boom boom—"

A series of intense flames exploded. Intensive explosions sounded one after another, countless heavy cavalry and heavy horses were directly blown away, and countless stumps and broken arms were flying in the air.

In the blink of an eye, the majestic and unstoppable 3,000 heavy cavalry brigade that looked like a torrent just now has changed beyond recognition, and only less than 1,000 heavy armored cavalry survived. But there is no way to maintain the momentum of the charge just now, let alone continue to maintain a complete formation.

Earl Antusol stared at the scattered heavy armored cavalry brigade in the distance with wide eyes, completely unable to believe what he saw.

By God! This is a full 3,000 heavy armored cavalry!

This is what the Glory Legion is most proud of. Even the most elite army of the Candela Empire is unstoppable on the frontal battlefield with the Maro Empire!

But now, they didn't even touch the enemy's side, and they lost more than half of them all at once!

"This is impossible... this is impossible!" Countless shock and deep fear suddenly filled Count Antusol's heart, and he couldn't help roaring loudly. "How could these wastes from the Rulson Kingdom have such great power! This must be an illusion!"

The adjutant on the side swallowed hard, looked away from the miserable battlefield ahead, and shouted anxiously to Earl Antusol: "My lord, let's retreat quickly. They even have magic cannons, we don't need them at all." It may be their opponent's!"

"Withdraw?" Earl Antusol turned his head to look at the adjutant. "Where are we going to retreat? We are the vanguard! Do you understand what the vanguard means?"

"But Lord Earl, we are definitely not their opponents. If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Earl Antusol looked at him coldly, and shook his head: "Impossible. Since I have seized the vanguard, there is no possibility for the Jedi to retreat. Send my order, and the whole army will attack!"

"My lord, you can't do this!" The adjutant was horrified, and shouted loudly: "Even the heavy armored cavalry brigade is finished, how can we beat them? We should follow my advice and withdraw quickly. When we go back, we will ask the army The Ministry will equip us with some more military magic machines, and then we will be fine!"

Earl Antusol looked back and found that the army of the Rulson Kingdom had also moved at this time.

Although they didn't have even a group of war horses, when they got on the strange-looking thing that was said to be called a magic armored vehicle, they were extremely fast, and they had caught up with the fleeing heavy armored cavalry in the blink of an eye.

Then flames spewed out from the magical armored vehicles, and the heavy cavalry covered in heavy armor fell down in rows like straws that had been harvested, without any resistance.

Count Antusol took a deep breath.

In this expedition, he relied on the strength of this family to grab the vanguard position, in order to hope that he could make more military achievements with this, so as to pave the way for his future ascension.

However, seeing with his own eyes the terrifying power of the military magic machines possessed by the army of the Rulson Kingdom, he had no choice but to be shaken.

Another fiery red light fell from his eyes, and a group of heavy armored cavalry was directly blasted away. Earl Antusol couldn't help but his eyelids twitched.

"It must be the power of the devil..."

After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and lifted the rein in his hand. The "Pineapple Si" who was sitting down immediately understood his meaning, raised his front hooves, and turned around in a circle, but turned his body backward.

"Withdraw!" Earl Antusol ordered in a deep voice.

Although he only had a very simple contact with the army of the Rulson Kingdom, he has clearly judged that he seriously underestimated the power of military magic machinery, so that even the most powerful heavy cavalry brigade in the Glory Legion Almost the whole army was wiped out.

In front of the opponent's extremely powerful military magic machines, he can be sure that his subordinates have no ability to resist at all, and can only choose to retreat.

Seeing that Earl Antusol finally decided to retreat, the adjutant was overjoyed and quickly conveyed the order.

However, just as the remaining troops of the Glory Legion struggled to adjust their formation and were about to retreat, dozens of flames flew across the sky and fell directly into the formation of the Glory Legion.

"boom--"

A beam of fire was impartial, and it happened to fall less than two meters away from Earl Antusol.

Earl Antusol only had time to widen his eyes, and just as the astonished expression appeared on his face, an unusually bright flame with a huge irresistible shock wave swept him and the "Pineapple Silk" who was sitting down.
