Twenty minutes later, the Goldenhawk Knights and the Red Sun Legion continued to move south for more than ten kilometers before they saw the Kingdom of Ruhr's army in front of them.
Gerald picked up the binoculars and looked ahead. He immediately frowned.
In the army of over ten thousand people in front, there were mainly the flags of the Rudson Kingdom. But what really caught Gerald's attention was a flag that wasn't complicated and had a very simple design. There was only a single flag with half a wing embroidered on it.
On the Sines Continent, there wasn't a single person who didn't know what this flag represented.
It was the New Flyer.
"The New Flyer Guards also joined the battle?" Gerald's expression was slightly solemn.
"When we set off a while ago, the New Flyer didn't make a specific statement. How come they have already sneaked in?"
"What's so strange about that?" Narorov rolled his eyes.
"This time, we are obviously going for the New Flyer. If they don't send their guards to join the battle, will they only join the battle when we reach the Principality of Constantine and the New Flight Commerce Main Base?"
Gerald smiled bitterly and shook his head. "That's not what I meant.
I just meant that if the New Flyer Guards on the other side sneaked in, I'm afraid that today's battle won't be easy. "
"We will meet them sooner or later. If we meet them earlier, we will have more opportunities to understand them and deal with them in the future."
Narorov also picked up the binoculars and observed the situation on the other side. He also frowned.
"All the countries on the continent say that the New Flyer Guards are very powerful. But in fact, for so many years, the New Flyer Guards have only fought a few times. I don't know how powerful they are."
"That's why I hate this kind of guy who I can't figure out at all.
But the Kingdom of Ruhr's army has only received a little support from the New Flyer, and their combat power has already become so strong. You can imagine the combat power of the New Flyer Guards. "
Gerald sighed and looked a little distressed.
"Besides, it's not like you don't know how powerful the military magic machines New Flyer sold us are. Our old toys won't be able to withstand them.
And I'm sure that New Flyer will only sell us some low-level military magic machines, or even military magic machines that have been eliminated by them. They will definitely keep the really good stuff in their hands. "
"That's obvious." Narorov spread out his hands, looking equally helpless.
"Who told the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to be the only company in this world that can make these things?"
They looked at each other in silence for a while. Suddenly, Gerald wiped his face and spat on the ground.
"Bah!
The battle hasn't even started yet, so why are the two of us constantly lowering our morale?
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards are definitely strong, but we have more people than them in the end. Then again, we also have military magic machines, so if they dare fight us on the prairies, we'll crush them with our numbers. "
"Well, according to some information collected by the Glory Legion, the Kingdom of Ruhr's army has the ability to attack from a very long distance. Now we …" Narorov looked up, estimated the distance, and raised his right hand.
The several Crimson Helios Guards behind him immediately gave the order. It didn't take long for the entire Crimson Helios Guards to stop.
Gerald and Narorov had known each other for many years. When he saw Narorov's actions, he immediately understood what he meant and ordered the Goldeagle Knights to stop.
"Alright, we're about five kilometers away from here. It should be beyond their attack range.
Let's reorganize our formation and prepare to attack, "Narorov said.
"Alright."
Gerald, Narorov, and a few other military advisors got together and had a short pre-battle discussion. They decided to use the Goldenhawk Knight Legion as the support while the Red Sun Legion used their high mobility to attack from both sides at the same time.
These two regiments were famous elite regiments of the Kandla Empire. Adding in the fact that Gerald and Narorov were good commanders, now that they had decided on the strategy, it didn't take long for them to reorganize their formation.
What the two of them found strange was that while they were discussing the strategy and the formation, the Kingdom of Ruhr's army and the New Flyer Guards on the other side didn't move at all, as if they were waiting for them to attack.
However, even if they found it strange, since they had already led their army here, they couldn't just retreat.
Gerald tidied up his clothes and jumped onto the roof of a large transport Magic Car. He pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed it at the sky.
"Attack!"
The twenty three thousand soldiers of the Goldeagle Knights set out in an orderly manner.
At the very front were heavy-armored shield-bearers who held giant shields and acted as guards. Following closely behind them were the crossbow-bearers armed with magic repeating crossbows and special longbows.
As for the center of the formation, there were a hundred and thirty Single Barrelled Magic Cannons that moved a bit slower.
Actually, the New Flyer's Single Barrelled Magic Cannons were all equipped with Magic Trailers, so they could move at a speed of forty kilometers per hour on these plains.
But although the Kandla Empire's Single Barrelled Magic Cannons were also equipped with Magic Trailers, they couldn't solve the problem of the coordination between the Magic Trailers and the cannon. Because of the problem of materials, there were often short shafts, so they were limited to a speed of thirty kilometers per hour. The actual speed was only around twenty kilometers per hour, so it seriously slowed down the speed of the entire army.
Of course, the distance between the two armies was only around five kilometers, so the difference between twenty kilometers per hour and forty kilometers per hour wasn't that big. The Goldeagle Knights only needed to bring the Magic Cannons within two kilometers of effective attack range.
After the Goldeagle Knights set out, Narorov gave the order at the same time.
The Scarlet Sun Regiment split into three groups. One group had a hundred large transport Magic Cars and five thousand soldiers to protect the Goldeagle Knights. The other group had two hundred large transport Magic Cars that went in an arc from the left and right, surrounding the Kingdom of Ruhr on the other side.
Actually, although the Goldeagle Knights and the Scarlet Sun Regiment were equipped with large amounts of new military magic machines to replace the swords, spears, and bows of the war horses, their tactics were still mostly based on the old ideas.
For example, the tactics that the two regiments used this time was nothing more than the Kandla Empire's army breaking through the center and surrounding them from the two sides.
It had to be said, there wasn't anything wrong with this tactic, it could fully display the advantages of the two regiments.
However … this war was completely different from all the wars they had experienced in the past.
When the Goldeagle Knights were around three kilometers away from the Kingdom of Ruhr's army, the Kingdom of Ruhr's army that hadn't moved at all finally moved.
It was fine if they didn't move, but once they moved, it was like thunder.
"Hong, hong, hong, hong, hong!"
There was a series of muffled sounds that came from the Kingdom of Ruhr's army in the distance. There were countless red lights that filled the sky as they quickly flew over.
Gerald was shocked in his heart.
The two sides were clearly three kilometers away, so why did the Kingdom of Ruhr use the Magic Cannons?
Didn't the New Flyer's Magic Cannons only have an attack range of two kilometers?
But in the next moment, the ruthless facts told Girard how wrong his judgment was.
The red lights filled the sky and in just a few breaths, they had already crossed the three kilometers distance between the two sides and landed in the middle of the Goldeagle Knights' formation.
"Scatter!"
Gerald only had time to shout this, but he couldn't give any other orders at all.
"Hong, hong, hong, hong, hong, hong!"
This time, an unusually dull yet extremely violent explosion resounded in Gerald's ears, almost deafening him.
In the midst of the explosions, there were the panicked cries and pitiful cries of the surrounding Goldeagle Knights.
With just a single round of explosions, the Goldeagle Knights' formation that had been perfect was now a bit loose.
Gerald forced down the shock and panic in his heart. He grabbed a magician beside him and had him cast a sound amplification spell in front of him.
"Don't panic!
Maintain the formation and charge forward for me!
Those who retreat will be killed! "
Gerald instantly understood. They were both Magic Cannons, but the Kingdom of Ruhr's Magic Cannons had a much longer attack range than theirs, even exceeding it by an entire kilometer.
Like this, before they reached effective attack range, they could only passively take the enemy's attacks and couldn't fight back at all.
At this time, the only choice was to keep moving forward. The consequences of retreating would be even more serious than now.
Gerald's voice was spread through the entire Goldeagle Knights through the Sound Amplification Spell.
Hearing the commander's voice, the Goldeagle Knights who had panicked from the sudden attack quickly calmed down. They reorganized their formation as they charged at the Kingdom of Ruhr's army in the distance as quickly as possible.
The Scarlet Sun Regiment that had circled around on both sides didn't encounter any attacks from the Kingdom of Ruhr's army.
Seeing the Goldeagle Knights suffer an unexpected bombardment, Narorov didn't hesitate to give the order for the Scarlet Sun Regiment to increase their speed again.
The Kingdom of Ruhr's army clearly wanted to use their attack range to bombard them, so they had to get closer and disrupt the other side's formation.
But when this idea appeared in his mind, there were several flames that soared into the sky from the grasslands in front of him.
With several explosions, the three large transport Magic Cars in front seemed like they had been flipped over by an invisible giant. They flew into the air and even flipped a few times in the air before slamming down.
One of them had smashed into the large transport Magic Car in front of Narorov and after rolling on the ground, it landed on the front of the large transport Magic Car that he was sitting in.
The strong vibrations wildly shook the car and Narorov who was caught off guard slammed into the front of the driver's seat, causing his head to bleed.
