The Gris army watched helplessly as Sila opened the city gates and began to take in the captives and refugees. However, the order to retreat had already been issued, and they were powerless to launch another attack.
"You want to retreat?"
Tang En shook his head and looked up at the Flying Combat Squad. Sure enough, they had already begun to intercept the enemy.
The Comet Motorcycles of the Flying Combat Squad were much faster than the warhorses. Furthermore, most of the soldiers on the battlefield were horseless. In the blink of an eye, the Flying Combat Squad had arrived at the back of the Great Army. Once again, the Flying Combat Squad took out their high-explosive bombs and began to drop them.
"Get out of the way! The attack is coming from the sky!! "
The retreating Gris army became more and more chaotic under the bombardment of the bombs. Facing the bombardment of the bombs, the people below had completely lost their discipline. In this chaotic situation, the casualties were even more serious. Many of the infantrymen were trampled to death by their own warhorses.
An unprecedented despair shrouded the Gris army. Ever since the independence of the Gris Kingdom, they had never fought such a humiliating battle!
They could clearly see the enemy, but they could not touch them. They could only watch helplessly as they were beaten. Who would want to fight such a war!?
"What a pity!"
The members of the Flying Combat Squad looked at the empty ammunition hold and felt a little unsatisfied. If they were equipped with spatial equipment and had enough ammunition, they were confident that they could take care of the enemy's army of ten thousand with just forty to fifty people.
This was not a war. This was simply a one-sided massacre.
The Gris army was fleeing in panic. They did not even notice that the enemy in the sky no longer had any bombs in their hands.
The adjutant who had taken over the command had been killed in the previous round of bombardment. No one had even noticed when he had died. Without a commander, the Gris army was in a mess. They instinctively followed the original path and began to flee.
"Want to escape? It's too late … "
The members of the Flying Combat Squad sneered. The people on the ground could not see it, but they could see it clearly.
Why did the Irus Empire's reinforcements come so late?
Wasn't it because they disbanded their formation and took a longer route to outflank the enemy?
Just in front of the Gris army's retreat route, the Irus Empire's mobile troops had already set up a blockade. The heavy armoured cannons were ready to fire at any time.
These warriors began to speculate maliciously. When they exhausted themselves and thought that they had escaped from the grasp of the Grim Reaper, only to find that what awaited them in front of them was an opponent that was even more difficult to defeat. How desperate would they be?
If they wanted to blame someone, they should blame themselves for treating others so coldly and heartlessly!
If these soldiers had a little conscience, the benevolent Tang En Majesty probably would not have made such a cold-blooded decision.
…
In the forest, a cavalryman was in a panic and did not know where to go. He urged his warhorse to flee towards the northwest.
He left his companions far behind. At this time, no one cared about comradeship. Many times, it was like this. One didn't need to outrun the enemy. As long as one could outrun one's own people, one could escape death!
..
Run as far away as possible!
. return to the Gris!
There was no way to fight this war!
Fortunately, they had already captured enough food and transported it back. Even if this siege failed, King Stanley would not blame them. After all, this war should not have been part of the original plan!
It was all General Henry's fault!
That's right! It was all his fault!
If it was not for the fact that things went so smoothly this time and he wanted to seize the opportunity to loot Sila City, this situation would not have happened!
Those magicians flying in the sky must be the Irus Empire's reinforcements!
Only the Irus Empire, which was allied with the City of Silver, would be able to invite magicians to join the war!
I must escape. That's right, I am not a deserter. I just want to report this precious information to King Stanley!
The cavalryman kept convincing himself in his heart. He whipped his horse even more fiercely, completely ignoring the fact that his horse was so tired that it was foaming at the mouth.
Hualala — —
The world in front of him suddenly became bright. The cavalryman was frightened. Although he had escaped from the woods, without the cover of the woods, his target was very obvious. The attack from the sky was even more difficult to avoid.
But in the next moment, the cavalryman felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His whole body was cold from top to bottom.
In the wilderness in front of him, a row of cold and ruthless steel puppets was quietly waiting there. It was as if they had already expected that they would retreat from here and were waiting for them to walk into the trap.
On the steel puppets, the flag of the Irus Empire was fluttering in the cold wind, as if mocking them for overestimating themselves.
A person, a chair, leisurely sat in front of the steel puppets. He was even holding a cup of hot tea.
Sax Irus.
When Sax received Tang En's order, he immediately changed his original route and began to outflank the army from the rear. Since Tang En Majesty had decided to wipe out the entire army, he could only carry out his orders.
Although Sax was very curious as to why Tang En Majesty would suddenly make such a cold-blooded decision, he did not ask much.
After the troops were ready to outflank and counterattack, Sax took a chair and sat in front. His back was against the invincible and impenetrable armored tanks. He did not think that his life would be in any danger.
He even had the energy to boil a pot of water for himself and make a cup of hot tea.
It was a pity that the enemy rushed out of the forest before he could even take a sip of it.
The equipment that was a mixture of steel and fur … … It was clearly the characteristic of the Irus soldiers.
Oh? It had come a little faster than expected …
Sax raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the situation in Sila City had been resolved.
"Oh … … That poor guy, he was scared silly."
"Logically speaking, I don't know what kind of army in Prandal would not be scared silly after seeing our equipment."
"Shh, be serious. There's a war here, don't talk nonsense."
The soldiers on the tanks whispered to each other as they looked at the lone cavalryman with ridicule. A moment later, more cavalrymen rushed out of the forest. Then, like the cavalryman at the beginning, they were all stunned on the spot.
"Sigh … …"
Sax sighed. He did not give the other party a chance to speak because he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and would not give the other party a chance to surrender.
Tang En Majesty's order was very clear. Wipe out all the Irus soldiers!
Leave none alive!
This was the cruelest order that Tang En Majesty had ever given.
Sax did not ask much, but he knew that Tang En Majesty must have his own thoughts. Therefore, Sax put down his teacup and said coldly, "Open fire, the woods in front, cover the area with full fire!"
"Open fire! Target the woods, cover the area with full fire! "
The order was instantly spread throughout the army. In the next moment, the armored tanks bared their fierce fangs. The thick 150mm barrel ejected the cannonballs. The moment the sharp explosion sounded, a straight area of several meters wide was torn apart by the air pressure shockwave. Everything along the way was destroyed. The cavalrymen standing at the front did not even have time to react before they were blown apart by the cannonballs along with their horses. They died on the spot!
When the cannonballs reached their triggering limit, the magic crystals loaded inside once again triggered a powerful area of effect spell. The forest was immediately set ablaze!
But the bombardment of the main cannons was just the beginning!
What really caused a large area of damage was the "Tempest Type-1" array missile launcher on the tank's turret. Although the twelve 80mm missiles launched at once were not as powerful, there were a lot of them, and they had plenty of inventory!
Boom boom boom boom!
After a round of missile bombardment, the forest in front of them had been razed to the ground. Blazing flames, sharp spiraling wind blades, bone-chilling cold, strange rock thorns, and all kinds of spells blossomed on the ground, making it impossible for them to guard against them.
More importantly, the intensive missile bombardment was still gradually advancing. After bombing the woods in front, the cannoneers adjusted the firing angle, loaded the cannoneers, and then continued with the second and third rounds of bombardment …
This forest had completely become the burial ground of the Grace army. More than 70% of the soldiers did not even know where the attacks came from and were mysteriously killed by the explosions.
When the enemy could no longer be seen in front, Sax waved his hand. "Push forward, crush them!"
The armored tanks and armored transport vehicles started moving forward at the same time. Gravel and broken wood could not stop the sharp ram in front of the armored tanks at all. The uneven road could not stop the tanks from moving forward. Even large pits could be crossed by the anti-gravity device.
This kind of weapon, which was far beyond the current level of Prandal technology, appeared on the battlefield. It was simply a cheating killing machine.
Without the powerful Apocalypse in a head-on confrontation, it was absolutely impossible for these ordinary soldiers to win.
Tang En had long known that his weapons and equipment were invincible in Prandal, so he had never been interested in fighting a civil war. Compared to internal friction, of course, the army of Chaos that had yet to appear was more worthy of his vigilance.
At this moment, the rumbling of the tanks had become a nightmare for the soldiers of Grace. The arrows that they shot out were like fragile needles in front of the heavy armor. Even if some of them risked their lives to break through the terrifying and strange attacks of the enemy and rushed to the side of the monster, the swords in their hands could not hurt the steel puppet at all.
Those damned Irus soldiers hid inside the steel golem and used cold-blooded and merciless slaughter to mock their weakness.
For the first time in their lives, the Grace soldiers felt the boundless fear they brought to others.
If there was an afterlife, they would rather be a civilian than face these monsters again …
This was the last thought of many Grace soldiers before they died.
Unfortunately, no one would hear the repentance before death, and the crushing war continued.
The enemy's main force had been wiped out, and the remaining ones were just a few stragglers who had scattered and escaped. It was obviously unrealistic to continue the pursuit with tanks, so at this moment, the soldiers of Ilrus had already left the armored transport vehicles. They were armed to the teeth and spread out in all directions to continue the pursuit of the deserters.
Tang En, who was in Sila Castle, had now received the news.
From the moment the Grace army decided to retreat to the moment they were completely defeated, less than half an hour had passed.
