Chapter 96 Vanguard
Earl Antusol rode his beloved pure white war horse, "Pineapple", and briskly stepped onto a small hill higher than nearby. He raised his head slightly and looked at the sparse crowd on the plain in the distance. His lips raised, and his expression was full of disdain.
"These guys are the troops of the Rursson Kingdom? Look at this attitude, I'm afraid there are not even five thousand people. Where did they have the courage to stop me here?"
"Sir, don't underestimate them too much. Look, the troops of the Rursson Kingdom have been equipped with a lot of military magic machinery, even more than our army has. We need to be more careful in a while."
"Military magical machinery?" Earl Antusol snorted coldly. "You guys keep this thing on your lips all day long, as if you can't fight without it. In my opinion, it's nothing great. With such a few people on the other side, my elite cavalry will kill them all with one charge."
"This... Lord Earl, I think it's better to be careful, if..."
"Nothing in case!" Earl Antusol waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the advice of his loyal adjutant. "Send the order, and the whole cavalry brigade is ready to charge. We must teach these guys who dare to resist our Candela Empire a bloody lesson from the beginning!"
The adjutant looked at the scattered scattered in the distance, and there were only a few thousand people, among which there were not even a single war horse. He couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that even if the opponent had the so-called military magic machinery, it should not be a concern, so he stopped persuading Count Antusor and passed his orders.
The Earl of Antusol led this time the Guangyao Legion, known as one of the top ten elite legions of the Kandra Empire. Their mission was to serve as the pioneer and launch the first attack on the Rulson Kingdom.
Half a month ago, because the Principal of Stantin rejected the request of the Candela Empire to ban and ban the New Air Chamber of Commerce, the Candela Empire formally declared war on the Principal of Stantin on this grounds.
Subsequently, because the Rulson Kingdom rejected the request of the Kander Empire to use the passage, the Kander Empire declared war on the Rulson Kingdom.
The glory army led by Count Antusor was the first army of the Kandra Empire to enter the Rulson Kingdom in this war, which is the so-called vanguard army.
"Hey. I finally got the position of this pioneer. This battlefield is the moment when I, Romans, Antusol, shines!"
Seeing that the heavy cavalry brigade had already set up its formation and was ready, Count Antusol raised his sword high.
"charge!"
"Glory shines my heart!"
Three thousand fully armed and heavily armored cavalry, whose war horses were covered with thick armor, all roared. Three thousand war horses raised their front hooves together and rushed out at the same time.
The cavalry and war horses alone are already more than one ton, and the heavy armor and weapons they are wearing can easily reach an amazing two ton.
When such a heavy cavalry charged, his momentum was already amazing.
Now that there are a total of 3,000 heavy cavalry charges at the same time, the momentum is naturally extremely shocking.
The ground trembled constantly because of the galloping of war horses, and the dull sound of iron hooves stepping on the soil mixed together, and it kept resounding throughout the sky like thunder.
Seeing his heavy cavalry brigade rushing towards the military formation of the opposite Luerson Kingdom like a tide, Count Antusol laughed wildly.
"Ah. What a wonderful formation and what a beautiful sound! The little Ruhrson Kingdom is so arrogant and dares to be enemies of our great Kandra Empire. Today is the day to bury you!"
"Swoosh"
A strange sound suddenly came, as if something was breaking through the air at high speed.
Earl Antusol looked in shock in the direction where the sound came, and saw a fiery red light flying up from the military formation of the Rursun Kingdom and flying straight toward this side.
"Hmph...some gadgets that are not good..."
Before Earl Antusol could finish his sentence, he saw that the fiery red light had fallen into the heavy cavalry troop that was charging.
"boom"
An extremely bright ball of fire suddenly exploded, and then an extremely strong explosion sounded.
Countless heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor and seated war horses flew into the sky amid the fire and explosions. Some of them even had broken limbs and broken arms flying into the sky together.
Just after suffering this attack, the heavy cavalry brigade, which had originally had a complete and strict formation, was broken into a huge gap.
But this is not over yet.
Immediately after that fiery red light, more than ten more lights flew out from the military formation of the Luerson Kingdom, and in an instant it landed in the formation of the heavy cavalry brigade.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"
A series of violent flames exploded. A dense explosion sounded, countless heavy cavalry and heavy war horses were blown away directly, and countless broken limbs and arms were flying in the air.
In the blink of an eye, the three thousand heavy cavalry brigade, which was majestic just now and seemed like a torrent, had become unrecognizable, with only less than a thousand heavy armored cavalry remaining to survive. But he could no longer maintain the momentum of the charge just now, let alone continue to maintain the complete formation.
Earl Antusol stared at the heavy armored cavalry brigade in the distance, completely unable to believe what he saw.
God is above! These are three thousand heavily armored cavalry!
This is the most proudest army of the Kandra Empire, which is unstoppable on the front battlefield with the Malo Empire!
And now, they didn't even touch the enemy's side, and they lost more than half of it in an instant!
"This is impossible...this is impossible!" Infinite shock and deep fear suddenly filled the heart of Count Antusol, making him unable to help but roar loudly. "How could these wastes from the Rursun Kingdom have such powerful power! This must be an illusion!"
The adjutant on the side swallowed a hard time, withdrew his gaze from the miserable battlefield ahead, and shouted anxiously to Earl Antusol: "Sir, let's retreat quickly. They even have magic artillery, and we can't be their opponents!"
"Retreat?" Earl Antusor turned his head and looked at the adjutant. "Where to retreat? We are the pioneers! Do you understand what the pioneer means?"
"But Count, we are definitely not their opponents. If we don't retreat, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
Earl Antusol looked at him coldly and shook his head: "Impossible. Since I have grabbed the vanguard, there is no possibility of the Jedi retreating in the face of battle. Pass my order and the whole army will attack!"
"Sir, you can't do this!" The adjutant was shocked and shouted loudly: "Even the heavy armored cavalry brigade is over. How can we beat them? Let's just listen to me and retreat quickly. After returning, ask the military headquarters to equip us with more military magic machinery before coming. There will definitely be no problem at that time!"
Earl Antusol looked back and found that the army of the Rulson Kingdom had also taken action.
Although they did not even have a group of war horses, they got on the weird thing that was said to be called a magic armored vehicle, and they were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already caught up with the heavy armored cavalry who were fleeing back.
Then the magic armored vehicles spewed out of the fire tongues, and the heavy cavalry covered with heavy armor fell down like harvested straw, without any resistance.
Earl Antusol took a deep breath.
This time he went on the expedition, he relied on the strength of this family to seize the position of this vanguard, hoping to make more military achievements with this so as to lay the foundation for his continued rise in the future.
However, now he has seen the terrifying power of the military magic machinery possessed by King Rursson Team with his own eyes, but he has to shake it.
Another flash of fiery red light fell in his eyes, and a group of heavily armored cavalry were then bombarded directly. Earl Antusol couldn't help but thrust his eyelids.
"This must be the power of the demon..."
After pondering for a while, he raised his hand and lifted the reins in his hand. The "pineapple" sitting down immediately understood what he meant. He raised his front hooves and swung around in a circle, but turned his body back.
"Retreat!" Earl Antusor ordered in a deep voice.
Although he had only had a very simple contact with the army of the Ruhrson Kingdom, he had clearly judged that he had seriously underestimated the power of military magic machinery, so that even the strongest heavy cavalry brigade in the Guangyao Legion was almost wiped out.
In front of the opponent's extremely powerful military magic machinery, he could be sure that his subordinates had no ability to resist at all and could only choose to retreat.
Seeing that Count Antusol finally decided to retreat, the adjutant was immediately overjoyed and quickly conveyed the order.
But just as the remaining troops of the Guangyao Legion struggled to complete the formation adjustment and were about to retreat, dozens of flames suddenly flew over from the sky and fell directly into the Guangyao Legion formation.
"boom"
A fire was unbiased and landed less than two meters beside Count Antusol.
Earl Antusol had only time to widen his eyes, and a shocked expression on his face had just emerged. An extremely bright firelight mixed with a huge irresistible shock wave had swept over him and the sitting "pineapple".

On June 4, 3802, the Continental Calendar, the Kander Empire declared war on the Rulson Kingdom. The General of the Imperial** Earl Antusol led the Guangyao Legion, known as one of the top ten elite legions of the Kander Empire, as the first vanguard to enter the Rulson Kingdom and contact and fight with the King Rush** team.
After a day of fierce battle, the Guangyao Legion ended in a complete defeat.
According to official situations released after the war, the manpower loss in the Rulson Kingdom was zero.
In terms of the Guangyao Legion, the three thousand most elite heavy cavalry brigades were wiped out, and the remaining 15,000 light cavalry, heavy armored infantry, archers, and magic crossbow brigade equipped with some military magic machinery suffered losses of up to 70%, and less than 5,000 people were left to barely escape.
The legion chief Earl Antusor was killed and his corpse was not preserved. (To be continued.)
