General Friess raised his head and let out a huge yawn.
Last night, he hugged the two crazy women and tossed about in the tent for an entire night, causing him to not be able to sleep well. Now that it was almost noon, he still hadn't recovered his energy.
Looking up at the scorching autumn sun, General Friess felt even more irritable.
In this terrible weather, he couldn't stay at home and enjoy himself. Instead, he had to bring his subordinates to this godforsaken place hundreds of kilometers away. It really made him unhappy.
However, this was a direct order from the military. Even if he was the commander of the Fourth Frontier Regiment of the Kandla Empire's Third Border Defense Army, he couldn't resist.
"Damn the Kingdom of Ruhr. I really don't know what's wrong with them. They actually dared to make a move on my subordinates. I don't know where they got their guts from."
General Friess muttered and lightly kicked the military horse he was sitting on. He slightly increased his speed and stepped onto the grassland that wasn't very wide at the border between the Kandla Empire and the Kingdom of Ruhr.
A week ago, a small border defense team of the Fourth Frontier Regiment of the Third Border Defense Army was attacked by the Kingdom of Ruhr's border defense army here. The entire team of fifteen soldiers only had two people escape. The other thirteen were completely annihilated.
After this incident spread, it immediately caused an earthquake in the Empire.
The Emperor was extremely angry about this incident and directly rejected the proposal of the Empire's upper house to demand an explanation from the Kingdom of Ruhr and provide adequate compensation. He ordered the military to immediately start retaliating against the Kingdom of Ruhr.
This order received the full support of the military.
Since the establishment of the Kandla Empire, although they had suffered many losses at the hands of the Malor Empire, but other than the Malor Empire, which small country on the continent dared to make any disrespectful moves against the great Kandla Empire?
Not to mention, according to the confession of the border defense army that escaped, this time it was the Kingdom of Ruhr's soldiers who made the first move!
This was simply a naked provocation!
It could even be said that this was a direct challenge to the great Kandla Empire!
With the forceful push of the furious emperor, the Candra Empire's army headquarters only took three days to complete their revenge attack on the Rudson Kingdom.
A week after that incident, General Friess led the Empire's 3rd Border Army's 4th Border Regiment, a total of 3000 soldiers. They crossed the border between the Kandla Empire and the Kingdom of Ruhr and brazenly stepped into the territory of the Kingdom of Ruhr.
This time, General Friess' mission was simple. He was to directly attack the Kingdom of Ruhr's 3rd Legion stationed at the border. He had to inflict as much damage as possible to retaliate against the Kingdom of Ruhr's border guards.
Although according to the reports, the Rudson Kingdom's third regiment had a total of over six thousand people on this border, because they were responsible for guarding such a long border, it was impossible for them to gather in one place, so their strength was scattered.
Even if they were to gather together, General Friess had full confidence that he could easily defeat the enemy.
In the end, the enemy was only a small army of the Kingdom of Ruhr. Whether or not they had the ability to fully equip 6000 soldiers with weapons and armor was a big problem. How could they contend against the Kandla Empire's 3rd Border Defense Army?
"How far is it?" General Friess asked his deputy beside him.
The deputy raised his head and looked at the map in his hand. He replied with uncertainty, "It should be about 20 kilometers northwest. We will reach one of the bases of the Kingdom of Ruhr's 3rd Legion."
"20 kilometers?" General Friess let out a mocking laugh.
"As expected of a pitifully small country. 20 kilometers is already very far for them, right?
Haha … … "
The deputy laughed along. He was also feeling very relaxed.
A small country like the Kingdom of Ruhr dared to provoke the Kandla Empire. What awaited them was only obediently accepting the punishment.
If they dared to continue resisting, it would be even better. This would give the empire a good excuse to start a war against the Kingdom of Ruhr.
As long as the Malor Empire didn't take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble, the empire might just swallow this small country and add a small piece of territory to the empire.
Of course, this was only an ideal situation.
In reality, the plan of the military was to use this opportunity to teach the Kingdom of Ruhr a lesson and make them obediently give the empire a satisfactory compensation.
Even if they couldn't swallow them, making them a complete vassal of the empire and contributing everything to the empire was also a good choice.
General Friess led the 4th Border Defense Regiment of the empire's 3rd Border Defense Army. To put it bluntly, he was only the vanguard of this operation.
Of course, Friess didn't think that he was only the vanguard.
Due to the fact that the two empires were on par with each other in terms of strength, the military hadn't made any major moves in the past 20 years. Now that he finally had such an opportunity, if he could perform well and achieve military merits, he might be promoted because of it.
Thinking of this, Friess suddenly became excited. He forced himself to focus and loudly urged his subordinates to move faster.
Seeing that they had already crossed half of the grassland, the scouts that were sent out to scout suddenly rushed back.
"General, there are troops of the Kingdom of Ruhr ahead!" Two scouts reported to Friess while panting.
Friess looked at the panting and nervous scouts and scolded jokingly: "So what if they found them? Why are you so nervous?
Brothers, get ready to meet the enemy at any time! "
The two scouts looked at each other. One of them hesitated and continued: "General, the troops of the Kingdom of Ruhr are a little … … a little strange … …"
"Strange?" Friess looked at him in surprise and waved his hand.
"What could be strange?
Alright, cut the crap. Go scout ahead and report back to me at any time. I'll choose a good place to start the battle with them later.
Oh right, I forgot to ask, how many people are there? "
The two scouts had strange expressions on their faces and shook their heads.
"I … … I'm not too sure."
"Not too sure?" Friess looked at the two in surprise.
"Are the two of you out of your minds?
I asked you to scout the enemy and you don't even know how many people they have?
What's the point of keeping you then? "
The two scouts looked at each other again and smiled bitterly.
"General, we didn't see anyone at all. We only saw … … strange carriages … …"
"Strange carriages?"
Friess was stunned again. Just as he was about to ask again, his deputy suddenly pointed to the horizon and shouted.
"Look!
It's the enemy! "
Friess looked up in surprise and saw that on the grassland in the distance, there were dozens of black shadows that were speeding towards them at an unimaginable speed.
"It can't be?
What kind of horse is so fast?
No, it doesn't seem like a horse, a horse isn't that big … … "
Friess was in a daze as he watched the dozens of black shadows approaching. When they came closer, he found that these black shadows weren't large horses, rather they were dozens of strange black monsters that seemed to be made of steel.
If one took a closer look, one could see that there seemed to be four thick tires supporting the dozens of steel monsters as they ran.
This made Friess instantly react. These strange things seemed to be similar to the Magic Sedans that were popular among the nobles of the empire, but they looked completely different.
Just what was this thing?
However, Friess didn't have time to slowly think about it. Those dozens of black shadows were very fast and they were less than two thousand meters away from Friess's subordinates.
Seeing the commotion caused by the appearance of these strange things, Friess raised his voice and shouted, "All of you, quiet down!
Everyone pay attention, prepare to meet the enemy! "
Perhaps it was because the Kandla Empire's army hadn't participated in a battle in a long time, Friess's subordinates panicked for a while before they got into formation.
Friess didn't have time to make any adjustments. With an order, countless arrows flew out in a chaotic manner.
However, when the rain of arrows fell down and hit those strange looking Magic Cars, they didn't cause any damage at all. There were many arrows that hit the surface and broke in half.
Friess was stunned. When he was about to give the order to attack again, those strange looking Magic Cars suddenly stopped.
The Magic Car in front opened a door and two heads popped out.
"We are the Kingdom of Ruhr's third army's border brigade, we are here to give you a warning.
You have entered the territory of our Kingdom of Ruhr without permission, please leave this place immediately! "
"Hei, all this nonsense." Friess curled his lips and gestured to his deputy.
The deputy immediately understood and turned to give another order to his subordinates.
After that, countless burning Fire Arrows flew out and fell down on the other side.
Friess saw that normal arrows couldn't cause any damage to the other side, so he changed to Fire Arrows to attack.
In the Magic Armoured Vehicle several hundred meters away, the Kingdom of Ruhr's third army's vice commander Vykaro looked at the flames in the sky and took a deep breath. He quickly went back into the car and tightly closed the lid. He took out the Magic Communicator beside him and said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order, everyone retreat to a safe distance and prepare to counterattack."
Friess was surprised that the Fire Arrows didn't display any power, but he suddenly saw the Magic Armoured Vehicles retreat. After being stunned, he quickly shouted, "Those fellows actually want to escape!
Chase them for me! "
However, the Magic Armoured Vehicles were much faster than them, moving two kilometers away in the blink of an eye.
While Forex was worried, the several dozen Magic Armoured Vehicles stopped and pointed their heads in this direction again.
"Damn, are they playing with me?" Friess flew into a rage.
When he was about to give the order to attack again, he suddenly heard the sound of countless arrows tearing through the air. At the same time, there were several hundred dots of light that appeared on the Magic Armoured Vehicles, flying in their direction.
Friess' heart was filled with a strong sense of danger as he shouted, "Pay attention to your defenses!" Without another word, he rolled off his horse.
"Hong!"
"Hong, hong, hong, hong, hong!"
Countless violent explosions rang out beside his ears, and the huge shockwave caused Friess, who was lying on the ground, to roll a few times to the side.
When he was filled with panic, he suddenly felt several arrows falling from the sky, deeply stabbing into his body.
Friess only had time to give a roar before his eyes popped out and his legs collapsed, but he couldn't be more dead.
