Alonso's losses were not small either. Many imperial soldiers had fallen along the way. Because they did not carry magic crystal cannons, Alonso led the army to fight with real weapons.
"Sir!" Riding a tall horse, the adjutant in charge of leading the army pulled on his reins beside Alonso and reported loudly, "The magic crystal cannons have arrived!"
"Good! Let's take a break! We're about to fight to the death with the enemy! "Alonso knew that he did not have the patience to drag this out. He had to end the battle immediately.
As for that damned Seru Khan, he was not in the mood to pay attention to him. Even if the other party escaped this time, he would settle the score with Seru Khan in the future!
Alonso's main magic crystal cannons had finally arrived. He personally supervised the magic crystal cannons as they set up their positions at the commanding heights. Soon, thirty cannons were lined up on the periphery, ready to fire.
"Let them see what a real war is!" Alonso sat on his warhorse, watching Kurut's camp from a distance beyond the range of the bow and arrow.
As his order was passed down, the cannons in the distance let out one muffled boom after another.
"Boom! Boom!" It was as if the earth was shaking. One magic explosive shell after another flew towards the target in the distance amidst the muffled sound of thunder, blooming like a demonic flower in Kurut's camp.
Gravel spread with the shockwave of the explosion. Billowing smoke filled the air. It was a mess, and the earth trembled with the sound of the cannons.
Alonso narrowed his eyes as he watched Kurut's soldiers flee in all directions. Some of them even ran away.
"It seems that their courage is nothing more than this." Alonso pressed the longsword at his waist and gave a low evaluation. He squeezed his horse's belly with his legs and led his troops forward slowly.
"Everyone, charge! I will personally supervise the battle! Succeed or die trying! "Sitting on his warhorse, Seru Khan gritted his teeth and gave the order to counterattack.
He saw with his own eyes that a soldier had half his head blown off, and his ears were ringing from the loud explosion. He could not hear the cries around him at all, which made him very angry.
A low horn sounded, and all the Kuruth cavalry charged towards Alonso's army.
Soon after, the German Empire's Magic Crystal Cannons began their counterattack. Their roars completely suppressed the cavalry's charge. The situation was basically one-sided without any suspense. Soon, the cavalry at the front was reduced to ashes under the enemy's cannonballs.
"That damned imperial commander! If I can catch him! I will definitely tear him to pieces! " Seru Khagan, who already knew that he could not defeat the enemy, clenched his fists and cursed a certain person in the enemy's formation.
Boom! A cannonball exploded among the soldiers, sending the armored Kuruth soldiers flying into the air. There was a gap in the formation, and all the soldiers were at a loss because of this asymmetrical battle.
They were never afraid of the rain of arrows flying towards them. They were not even afraid of being surrounded by enemies ten times their number. But now, they were at least a Deri away from the enemy, and they were already in such a sorry state. This made them feel terrified.
Watching others fight and going up to try themselves were two completely different things. Even if they had seen the enemy's Magic Crystal Cannons, when it was their turn to face the cannonballs, things were completely different.
"Continue forward!" Seeing that the soldiers were beginning to panic again, Seru Khagan drew his sword and loudly urged the troops to continue attacking. "For Kuruth! For Lalma! Continue forward! "
"Long live Seru Khagan!" Seru Khagan's personal army roared. Braving the cannonballs, the 20,000 elite Kuruth cavalry continued to charge towards the enemy. They stepped over the corpses of their comrades and charged towards the increasingly dense formation of the German Empire.
Just like the previous battle at the border, the Kuruth soldiers faced more than 30 Magic Crystal Cannons, ten more than the last time. It was as if they were being slaughtered. They suffered losses, but they could hardly cause any damage to the enemy. They were blown to pieces by the Magic Crystal Cannons from a very long distance away. They died in vain without even seeing the enemy's appearance.
"If this continues, Seru Khagan and the others will die sooner or later. There's no need for us to come all the way here." Gravel's confidant, Anna, pulled the reins of the Northland horse. She had rushed over from the Kingdom of Northland after receiving Seru Khagan's request for reinforcements.
She buckled her helmet. Her heavy armor was one piece, and the patterns on it shone faintly. These armors were enchanted with magic and were very expensive protective gear.
"Whoosh!" Behind her, all the Northland cavalry buckled their helmets. The white armor matched the Northland armor very well. It looked like a perfect piece of art.
The cavalry's lances were pointed to the sky, just like a forest. As everyone buckled their helmets, Anna squeezed the ribs of her warhorse with her legs. The Northland horse under her began to slowly move forward.
All the warhorses behind her began to move forward. The muffled sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground was even louder than the sound of the war drums. The "thump" was like the beginning of a piece of music. It was breathtaking.
"The cavalry of the Kingdom of Northland has moved out. Reinforcements have arrived!" An officer pulled the reins and stopped beside Seru Khagan, who was already in a terrible state. He excitedly reported what he had just confirmed. "They've gone around our left flank! They're crashing into the front line of the German Empire! "
"We're saved!" Sensing the sweat on his forehead dripping down, Seru Khagan heaved a long sigh of relief. His body swayed, and he almost fell off his horse. But when he stabilized himself and broke free from his ecstasy, he shouted hysterically, "Continue the attack! Continue the attack! We're saved! What are we waiting for? Continue the attack! "
Following his shout, everyone saw the warhorses appear on the battlefield. Everyone saw the white armor that didn't match the bloody battlefield.
"They're here!" Alonso could feel the uneasiness of his warhorse. He raised his eyebrows when he saw the unusual cavalry that had easily charged into the front line of the German Empire's army.
"The Northland cavalry! Gravel's newly formed cavalry unit. I heard that they're very strong. "Marshal Alonso frowned. He was very worried that his front line of defense would be broken through by the fierce cavalry.
On the front line of the battlefield, the German Empire's soldiers didn't panic when they saw the heavy cavalry. They turned their cannons and wanted to bombard the approaching enemy.
