The Count of Antusol rode briskly on his beloved pure white horse, "Pineapple Silk", on a small hill high up nearby, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the sparse crowd on the plain in the distance, the corners of his mouth raised, and his expression full of disdain.

"These guys are the army of the Ruerson Kingdom? Look at this posture, I'm afraid there are not even five thousand people, where did they dare to stop me here?"

"Lord Earl, don't underestimate them. You see, the armies of the Ruerson Kingdom are already equipped with a lot of military magic machines, even more than our legions have, and we will need to be more careful in a moment. ”

"Military magic machines?" Count Antusol snorted. "You guys talk about this thing all day long, as if you can't fight without it. In my opinion, it's not a big deal. With just such a few people on the other side, my elite heavy cavalry can finish them all out with a single charge. ”

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

"Nothing if!" said Count Antusol, waving his hand impatiently, interrupting the advice of his loyal lieutenant. "The order went down, and the heavy cavalry brigade prepared to charge. We're going to teach these guys who dare to rebel against our Candela Empire a bloody lesson from the very beginning!"

The adjutant glanced at the scattered array of troops of the Ruerson Kingdom in the distance, which were only a few thousand people, and there was not even a single war horse among them, and couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that even if there was a so-called military magic machine on the other side, it should not be a matter of concern, so he stopped persuading Count Antusol. He passed on his orders.

Led by the Count of Antusol this time. It is known as one of the ten elite legions of the Candela Empire. Their mission was to be the vanguard of the first attack on the kingdom of Ruersun.

Half a month ago, because the Duchy of Stantin rejected the Candela Empire's request for them to ban the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Candela Empire officially declared war on the Duchy of Stantin on this ground.

Subsequently, because the Ruerson Kingdom rejected the Candela Empire's request for a loan, the Candela Empire declared war on the Ruerson Kingdom.

This glorious legion led by Count Antusol was the first army of the Candela Empire to enter the Kingdom of Ruerson in this war. This is also known as the Vanguard Corps.

"Hey, I managed to get this pioneer position with a hard time. This battlefield is the moment when my Romans Antusol shines!"

Seeing that the heavy cavalry brigade was already in position and ready, the Count of Antusol raised his sword in the air.

"Charge!"

"Glory shines on my heart!"

Three thousand heavily armored cavalrymen who were heavily armed, and even the heavily armored cavalry that sat down on their horses let out a roar in unison, and the three thousand war horses raised their front hooves together and rushed out at the same time.

The cavalry and horses alone are more than a ton, plus the heavy armor and weapons they wear. The weight is easily close to a staggering two tons.

When such a heavy cavalryman charged, his momentum was already astonishing enough.

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

The ground trembled incessantly with the gallop of the horses, and the dull sound of iron hooves on the dirt mixed together, and resounded like thunder throughout the sky.

Seeing his heavy cavalry brigade rushing towards the army of the Ruerson Kingdom on the opposite side, Count Antusol laughed wildly.

"Ah, what a beautiful formation, what a beautiful sound! The little kingdom of Ruersun is so arrogant that it dares to be the enemy of our great Candela Empire. Today is the day to bury you!"

"Whoosh-"

There was a strange noise, as if something was breaking through the air at high speed.

Count Antusol looked in astonishment in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a fiery red light fly up from the army formation of the Ruerson Kingdom, flying straight to this side.

"Hmph...... Some of the unpopular gadgets......"

Before Count Antusol could finish his sentence, he saw that the fiery red light had fallen into the heavy cavalry brigade that was charging.

"Boom-"

An unusually bright flame burst open, followed by an incredibly powerful explosion.

Countless heavy cavalry in heavy armor and seated horses soared into the air amid the sound of fire and explosions, and even some stumps and severed arms also flew into the sky.

Just suffered this attack, and the heavy cavalry brigade, which was originally in a complete and tight formation, was forced to break a huge gap.

But that's not all.

Immediately after that fiery red light, more than ten rays of light flew out from the military formation of the Ruerson Kingdom, and in an instant, they fell into the formation of the heavy cavalry brigade.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

A series of fierce fires burst out, and a dense explosion sounded, countless heavy cavalry and heavy war horses were directly blown away, and countless stumps and broken arms flew in the air.

In the blink of an eye, the 3,000 hoplite cavalry brigade, which was still majestic just now and looked like a torrent of irresistible, had become unrecognizable, and only less than a thousand heavily armored cavalry were left alive, but there was no way to maintain the momentum of the charge just now, let alone continue to maintain a complete formation.

Count Antusol's eyes widened as he stared at the scattered heavy cavalry brigade in the distance, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

That's 3,000 heavily armored cavalry!

This is the most proud army of the Glorious Legion, the most elite army of the Candela Empire that is unstoppable even in the frontal battle with the Maro Empire!

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

"It can't be...... This can't be!" Infinite shock and deep fear violently filled the heart of the Count of Antusol, and he could not help but roar loudly. "How can these Ruerson Kingdom wastes have such great power! This must be an illusion!"

The adjutant on the side swallowed with difficulty, withdrew his gaze from the miserable battlefield ahead, and anxiously shouted to the Count of Antusol: "Lord Count. Let's get out of here. They even have magic artillery. We can't be their opponents at all!"

"Withdraw?" Count Antusol turned to look at the adjutant. "Where are we going? We're pioneers! Do you understand what pioneers mean?"

"But Lord Earl. We are certainly no match for them, and if we don't withdraw, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid ......"

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

"You can't do this, Lord Earl!" the adjutant was suddenly shocked, and shouted loudly, "Even the heavy armored cavalry brigade is finished, how can we defeat them?" When we get back, we will ask the military department to equip us with more military magic machines. It must be fine then!"

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

They didn't have even a bunch of horses, but when they got on the odd-looking thing that was said to be called the Magic Armored Car, they were so fast that in the blink of an eye they had caught up with the heavily armored cavalry who were fleeing back.

Then tongues of fire erupted from those magical armored vehicles, and I saw the heavy cavalry covered in heavy armor fall in rows like harvested straw, powerless.

Count Antusol took a deep breath.

On this expedition, he relied on the strength of this family to seize the position of this vanguard, in order to hope to be able to make more military achievements. In order to pave the way for himself to continue to climb in the future.

However, now seeing with his own eyes the terrifying power of those military magic machines possessed by the army of the Kingdom of Ruerson made him shake.

Another glimpse of a fiery red light fell. A group of heavily armored cavalry was then blasted straight away, and Count Antusol couldn't help but have his eyelids jumping.

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

After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and lifted the reins in his hand, and the "pineapple silk" who sat down immediately understood what he meant, and his front hooves were raised, and he turned in a circle, but he turned his body to the rear.

"Withdraw!" ordered the Count of Antusol in a deep voice.

Although he had only made a very simple contact with the army of the Kingdom of Ruersun, he had clearly judged that he had seriously underestimated the power of the military magic machinery, so much so that even the most powerful heavy cavalry brigade in the Glorious Legion was almost completely wiped out.

In front of the opponent's incomparably powerful military magic machinery, he could be sure that his subordinates had no ability to resist at all, so they could only choose to retreat.

Seeing that the Count of Antusol had finally decided to retreat, the adjutant was overjoyed and hurriedly conveyed the order.

However, just as the remaining troops of the Glorious Legion were struggling to complete the formation adjustment, and were just about to retreat, dozens of flames suddenly flew in the sky and fell directly into the Glorious Legion formation.

"Boom-"

A flash of fire landed less than two meters from Count Antusol's side.

The Count of Antusol had only time to widen his eyes, and no sooner had the look of astonishment appeared on his face than an unusually bright firelight with a huge and irresistible shock wave had swept over him and the "pineapple silk" who was sitting down.

On June 4, 3802 in the continental calendar, the Candela Empire really declared war on the Ruerson Kingdom, and the Imperial Military General Count Antusol led the Glorious Legion, known as one of the ten elite legions of the Candela Empire, as the first to enter the territory of the Ruerson Kingdom as a vanguard, and contacted and fought with the army of the Ruerson Kingdom.

After a day of fierce fighting, the result ended in a complete defeat for the Glorious Legion.

According to the official situation after the war, the loss of manpower on the part of the Ruerson Kingdom was zero.

On the side of the Glorious Legion, the 3,000 most elite heavy cavalry brigades were all wiped out, and the rest of the 15,000 light cavalry, heavy armored infantry, archers, and the magic repeater brigade equipped with some military magic machinery suffered losses of as high as seventy percent, leaving less than 5,000 people barely escaped.

The Count of Antussol was killed in battle, and his bones remained. (To be continued......)
