General Forrest raised his head and yawned widely.
Last night, he held those two crazy women in the tent all night long, causing him to not sleep well at all. Even now, it was almost noon, but he still hadn't regained his energy.
Looking up at the sun that was still scorching even after entering autumn, General Forrest felt even more irritable.
It's really unpleasant to not be able to stay at home and enjoy yourself in this horrible weather, but to take your men to this horrible place hundreds of kilometers away.
However, this was an order issued directly by the military. Even though he was the commander of the Fourth Border Guard Regiment of the Candela Empire's Third Border Guard Army, he had no room for resistance.
"The damn Kingdom of Luersun, I don't know why I'm crazy. I dare to attack my men. I don't know where I got such courage." General Forrest muttered, kicked him lightly and sat down. The army horse that dismounted slightly sped up and stepped onto the not-so-wide grassland at the junction of the southwest of the Candela Empire and the Kingdom of Lurxun.
A week ago, a border defense team from the 7th Brigade of the 4th Border Guard Regiment of the 3rd Border Guard Army was attacked by the border guards of the Kingdom of Luersun here. Only two of the 15 soldiers in the team escaped, and the remaining 13 The whole army was wiped out.
After the incident was reported, it immediately caused an earthquake in the empire.
His Majesty the Emperor was extremely angry about this incident and directly vetoed the proposal made by the Imperial House of Lords to require the Kingdom of Luxun to give an explanation and provide adequate compensation, and ordered the military to immediately launch retaliatory actions against the Kingdom of Luxun.
This order received the full support of the military department.
Since the founding of the Candela Empire, although it has suffered many losses at the hands of the Malo Empire, except for the Malo Empire. Which other small country on this continent dares to do anything disrespectful to the great Candela Empire
Not to mention the confessions provided by returning border guards. This time, it was the soldiers of the Luersun Kingdom who made the first move!
This is simply a naked provocation!
It can even be said to be a direct challenge to the great Candela Empire!
Under the strong promotion of the furious His Majesty the Emperor. It only took the Candela Imperial Army three days to complete the plan to launch a retaliatory attack on the Kingdom of Luersun.
A week after that incident happened, General Forrest led a total of 3,000 soldiers of the Fourth Border Guard Regiment of the Empire's Third Border Guard Army to cross the border between the Candela Empire and the Kingdom of Luersun, brazenly stepping onto the border. Entered the territory of the Luersun Kingdom.
This time, General Forrest's mission is very simple, that is, to directly attack the Third Army Corps deployed by the Kingdom of Roulsun on the border. It must cause as much damage as possible to deal with the previous border guards of the Kingdom of Roursun. Retaliation strong enough for what he did.
Although according to intelligence, the total number of the Third Army of the Luersun Kingdom deployed on this border exceeds 6,000. But because they are responsible for defending such a long border, they cannot concentrate in one place and their strength is dispersed.
And even if they are completely gathered together, General Forrest is fully confident that he can easily defeat the opponent.
In the final analysis, the opponent is just the army of a small country like the Kingdom of Luersun. Whether it has the ability to equip these 6,000 people with complete weapons and armor is a big problem. How can it compete with the Empire's Third Border Defense Force backed by the Candela Empire? .
"How far is it?" General Forrest asked the deputy beside him.
The deputy looked up, then looked at the map in his hand, and replied uncertainly: "It should be traveling twenty kilometers northwest. We will be able to reach one of the stations of the Third Army of the Kingdom of Luersun."
"Twenty kilometers?" General Forrest let out a mocking laugh. "It is indeed a pitifully small country. Twenty kilometers is already very far for them, right? Haha..."
The deputy laughed twice. The mood is also very relaxed.
If a small country like the Luersun Kingdom dares to provoke the Candela Empire, all they have to wait for is to accept the sanctions.
It would be better if they dared to continue to resist, because this would give the Imperial Army a good excuse to actually launch a war against the Kingdom of Luersun.
As long as the Maro Empire doesn't take advantage of this moment to cause trouble, the empire might be able to simply swallow this small country in one go and add another small piece of territory to the empire.
Of course, this is only an ideal situation.
In fact, the plan of the military is just to take this opportunity to teach the Luersun Kingdom a lesson and make it obediently pay compensation that satisfies the empire.
Even if you can't annex it, let it become a complete vassal of the empire and contribute everything you have to the empire, that is still a good choice.
The Fourth Border Guard Regiment of the Empire's Third Border Guard Army led by General Forrest was, to put it bluntly, just the vanguard of this operation.
Of course, Forrest himself doesn't think of himself as just a pioneer.
Because the two empires are equally powerful and confront each other, the military department has not made any major moves for nearly twenty years. Now he finally comes across such an opportunity. If he can perform well and achieve military exploits, he might be able to Hence the promotion.
Thinking of this, Forrest immediately cheered up. He forced his spirits up and loudly urged his subordinates to move forward quickly.
Seeing that they had already passed half of the grassland, the scouts who had been released to explore the path suddenly ran back.
"General, the troops of the Kingdom of Luersun have been spotted ahead!" Two scouts reported breathlessly to Forris.
Fores glanced at the two scouts who were panting and a little nervous, and smiled and cursed: "I discovered it when I discovered it. Why are you nervous? Brothers, we are all prepared and ready to face the enemy at any time!"
The two scouts looked at each other. One of them hesitated and continued: "General, those troops of the Luersun Kingdom are a little... a little weird..."
"Weird?" Forrest looked at him in surprise and waved his hand. "What can be weird? Okay, stop talking nonsense, go explore in front, and report the opponent's whereabouts at any time. I will choose a better place to fight with them later. By the way, I forgot to ask. The opponent probably has how many people?"
The two scouts had even weirder expressions on their faces. They all shook their heads.
"No... not sure."
"Not sure?" Forrest looked at the two of them in astonishment. "Are you two guys with rusty brains? I asked you to explore the enemy's situation. It turns out that you don't even know how many people there are on the other side? So what's the use of you?"
The two scouts looked at each other again and smiled bitterly.
"General, we didn't see anyone at all, we only saw... strange cars..."
"Weird car?"
Forrest was stunned again. Just when he was about to ask again, the deputy beside him suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the horizon and shouted loudly.
"Look! It's the enemy!"
Forrest raised his head in shock and saw the grassland in the distance. About dozens of black figures were speeding towards this side at an unimaginable speed.
"Isn't it? What kind of horse is so fast? No, it doesn't seem to be a horse. The horse is not that big..."
Forrest stared blankly at the dozens of black shadows that were getting closer and closer. When he got closer, he realized that these black shadows were not tall horses, but dozens of dark, strange-looking figures. , the whole body seems to be a monster made of steel.
If you look carefully, you can see that there seem to be four thick tires underneath these dozens of steel monsters supporting them as they run wildly.
This made Foris react instantly. These strange-looking things seemed to have some imagination with the magic cars that were very popular among the aristocratic circles of the empire, but their appearance was completely different.
What the hell is this
However, at this time, there was no room for Furis to think slowly. Those dozens of black shadows came very quickly, and they were less than two thousand meters away from the men led by Fores.
I saw some commotion among my subordinates due to the appearance of these strange things. Forrest shouted: "Quiet, everyone! Attention, everyone, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Perhaps because the Kandra Empire's army had not officially participated in a battle for a long time, the subordinates led by Fores were in a panic for a while, and then they arranged their formations in a chaotic manner.
Forrest didn't have time to make any adjustments. With a command, countless feather arrows flew towards the opposite side in confusion.
However, the overwhelming rain of arrows fell and hit the dozens of strange-looking magic motorcycles, but it did not cause any damage at all. Many arrows hit the surface and even broke directly in half.
Forrest was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to order another attack, the dozens of strange-looking magic motorcycles suddenly stopped.
A hole opened on the magic motorcycle that rushed forward, and two heads popped out of it.
"We are the border defense brigade of the Third Legion of the Kingdom of Lursun, and we are here to issue a warning to you. You have entered the territory of our Kingdom of Lursun without permission. Please get out of here immediately!"
"Hey, just talk nonsense." Forrest curled his lips and gestured to the deputy.
The deputy immediately understood, turned around and gave another order to his subordinates.
The next moment, countless burning rockets flew up again and fell towards the opposite side.
However, Furis saw that ordinary bows and arrows seemed to be unable to cause any damage to the opponent, so he simply used rockets to attack.
On the magic armored transport vehicle hundreds of meters away, Yi Carlo, deputy commander of the Third Army of the Kingdom of Luersun, looked at the firelights flying in the sky, took a deep breath, quickly got back into the vehicle, and casually put the He closed the lid tightly, picked up the magic call box at hand, and said in a deep voice: "Give me the order, get out of a safe distance after everyone, and prepare to counterattack."
When Forrest was originally shocked because the rocket still didn't exert any power, he suddenly saw dozens of magic armored transport vehicles starting to back up. After being startled, he immediately shouted anxiously: "These guys actually want to escape. ! Chase me!”
However, the magic armored transport vehicle was much faster than them, and it had already traveled a full two kilometers away in the blink of an eye.
While Forrest was anxious, the dozens of magic armored transport vehicles stopped all together and pointed their fronts here again.
"Damn, are you kidding me?" Fu Rusi was furious.
Just when he was about to issue the attack order again, he suddenly heard the sound of countless dense arrows tearing through the air. At the same time, hundreds of dense light spots suddenly appeared on the dozens of magic armored transport vehicles. Qi Fei this way.
Furis was instantly angry and felt a strong sense of crisis, and shouted: "Pay attention to protection!" Then without saying a word, he rolled off the horse.
"boom-"
“Boom, boom, boom, boom—”
Countless violent explosions rang in his ears, and the huge air wave caused Forrest's body, which was lying on the ground, to roll to the side several times.
Just when he was extremely panicked, he suddenly felt several feather arrows falling from high altitude and piercing deeply into his body.
Forrest only had time to let out a low roar, and then his eyes widened and he kicked his legs, but he couldn't die anymore. (To be continued...)
