"We can't go on like this … If the enemy's archers come into play, it'll be a disaster for us." An imperial officer frowned as he looked at the approaching enemy army and muttered uneasily.
In fact, everyone knew what would happen if they allowed so many enemies to approach. Not to mention the deadly arrows, even the Delman Empire's crossbowmen, who only knew simple fighting techniques, were no match for the elite cavalry of the Kurut Kingdom.
As long as they engaged in close combat, the ratio of losses would be reversed. About seven or eight German Empire crossbowmen were needed to exchange for one Kuruth Kingdom cavalry. In just a few minutes, the entire battlefield would be flooded by the Kuruth Kingdom's army.
A moment later, behind the German Empire's main battlefield, the heavy-armored cavalry of the Empire ascended the high ground. Behind them was the sound of drums, and their lances were still stained with blood.
These heavy-armored cavalry were full of energy, high morale, and high fighting spirit. They were well-equipped, and even brought some magic crystal cannons.
"Long live the German Empire!" These German Empire soldiers stepped over the corpses of the Kingdom of Northland's heavy-armored cavalry, killed the wounded of the Kingdom of Northland's cavalry, and finally walked to the defensive line of the main battlefield.
"Do you need help?" Riding on his warhorse, the captain of the heavy-armored cavalry smiled at the imperial officer standing under the German Empire's flag. "My troops just happened to pass by, and I see you're in trouble."
"Hahaha." The imperial officer grinned and looked up at the captain of the heavy-armored cavalry. "You came at the right time. Leave the crossbows and magic crystal cannons and leave. We're not tired yet. We can still fight for a whole day."
The captain of the heavy-armored cavalry nodded. "Marshal Alonso ordered you to retreat and rest. Leave the rest to us! "
"Alright!" The imperial officer smiled and nodded. He had just seen the situation behind him and knew that Alonso's main force would soon approach. This was the main reason why he insisted on not retreating.
Now that the battlefield was handed over to the main force, he could finally rest. "Fight hard! Let these bastards of the Kuruth Kingdom know what a real battle is. "
"They will know. Believe me, they will know." The captain of the heavy-armored cavalry looked at the heavy-armored cavalry passing by him and said matter-of-factly, "I guarantee that this battle will be unforgettable for them!"
When Seru Khagan finally reached the top of the pile of corpses, he saw the scene of the Empire's soldiers loosening up. The battlefield that had fallen silent due to the lack of crossbow bolts suddenly became noisy again.
The sound of Azrael's cannon rang out once again, echoing in the wilderness. Following that, even more German Empire crossbowmen raised their weapons. Their cannonballs were placed in front of the Kurut soldiers, and everything seemed to have returned to how it was before.
What was even more frightening was that this time, the enemy had heavy cavalry, even more crossbowmen, and even more crossbow bolts.
The Kuruth Kingdom's army collapsed without any suspense. With the main force of the Empire joining the battle, the line that even the heavy-armored cavalry of the Kingdom of Northland could not break through was overkill against the Kuruth Kingdom's army.
In just a few moments, Seru Khagan's main force, which the Kuruth Kingdom was proud of and believed to be comparable to the Kingdom of Northland's army, was almost completely wiped out on the battlefield. The remaining troops could only cover their heads and flee.
Seru Khagan was pulled back, his eyes filled with unwillingness and madness. He felt that he should die in battle here, in this land that made him despair. Unfortunately, his subordinates could not let him die here. After all, Seru Khagan was still the Khagan of the Kuruth Kingdom.
"Retreat! Khagan! The cavalry of the Kingdom of Northland must have retreated. Let's hurry back to the main camp and make plans later! "A general supported Seru Khagan as he looked at the chaotic army and advised.
After all, Seru Khagan did not really want to die on the battlefield. He only had the thought of doing so, but with the attack of the German Empire, this thought had long been extinguished along with the troops under his command.
Therefore, he did not speak and was pulled back to the main camp by his subordinates. They gathered the defeated soldiers along the way, and in the end, they did not even manage to gather a few thousand men. Who would have thought that an army of tens of thousands would be defeated so easily?
However, when Seru Khagan finally pulled himself together and led the defeated soldiers back to the main camp, he found that it was no different from a battlefield.
Corpses were piled up like mountains, and the camp was in ruins. At a glance, one could tell that a fierce battle had taken place here, and it was a very tragic one. Seru Khagan did not even dare to enter the camp, and only sent two of his trusted subordinates to inquire about what had happened.
In the end, the two subordinates returned with news that not long after Seru Khagan left with his troops, an organised rebellion broke out. Several generals suddenly rose in revolt and fled with their soldiers. All the warriors who were unwilling to wallow in the mire with them were killed.
An army that had set out in such a grandiose manner had not even been able to take down a single city. They had even lost their capital, Lalma, and more than two-thirds of their men. This could be said to be the biggest joke in the history of the Kurut Kingdom since its establishment.
"Retreat immediately! Aren't we courting death if we wait here? The crossbowmen of the German Empire on the flanks are about to arrive. If we get caught, we'll lose another few thousand men! " After seeing the strength of the empire's heavy cavalry, Seru Khagan knew his current situation.
Leading the remaining troops and retreating quickly to preserve the few remaining members of the Kuruth Kingdom was the only thing he could do now. If the remaining people were lost, the Kuruth Kingdom would not even have the right to ask for peace.
But … even if they wanted to leave, how could they leave so easily? The German Empire's heavy cavalry chased after the Kuruth Kingdom's troops, preventing them from retreating at full speed. As long as they could reduce the speed of the Kuruth Kingdom's retreat, the German Empire's main forces would be able to pursue the Kuruth Kingdom's troops.
"Retreat immediately! Take all the troops with you, and leave behind those who have suffered heavy losses! Quick! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late! "Seru Khagan gave this cruel order.
