The Great War of Rhodesia

13. Varun I city

The attack on Ignus Fortress was as effective as no effort at all. Because with just one bullet shot and magic from a witch alone, the fort is no longer useful.

Plus the rest of the surviving guard soldiers had escaped before Lucia's forces arrived.

Lucia and her army continued marching towards Varun City unharmed to stop, leaving the fort as it was. Because he had to use this opportunity to immediately take over Varun City.

Meanwhile in Varun City. A Narva man dressed as a noble knight was seen holding a meeting in the government building not far from the town square.

"Remember the Dux Vistralle command. If our forces are defeated in the face of the attack on Rhodesodia, then scorch the City of Varun and then retreat into the territory of Ceodora." The Narva man spoke to 2 Morra men in the clothes of a soldier.

"Yes, I understand, General Gall. Our soldiers have already begun to spread out to prepare" replied the man Morra who was moustached.

"Then, what about the people, General?" The Morra man wearing the bandana on his head asked.

"Eject an announcement on the population to flee immediately" the man named Gall ordered later.

"But isn't it too sudden, General? They won't have time to prepare and escape." The man in dress answered.

"Hey, we're at war right now. We cannot guarantee the safety of everyone in a war, you remember that. Everyone is responsible for their own safety" Gall said. "At least we told them that this place was going to be burned. After that is their respective responsibility," he added again still sounded annoyed.

"Sa-I will remember that from now on, General," replied the man in the dress slightly stammered with fear.

"good. Now go you," Gall ordered later. "And also make sure that the Payday Fighters Union does not escape from the battlefield" he added.

"Ready, General." The two men answered in unison, before rushing out of the room.

"What now, General?" ask a Narva man standing next to Gall.

"Prepare my horse, Bane. We're going back to Dios City right now" Gall ordered.

"You're not heading to the city gate to block the Rhodesians, General?" The man named Bane asked.

"Do you also want me to die like General Zan in Ignus Fortress, huh?" gall spoke in a high tone.

"Do you think we won't be able to block the Rhodesian army and defend this city?"

"You think the soldiers in this city can defeat the troops of Rhodesia? They were mercenaries who were more concerned with their own lives than loyalty to the Dux Vistralle. You think those cowards are going to war in earnest?"

Hearing this, Bane fell silent as if he was weighing.

"Let's hurry, don't be dumb. Rhapsodia's troops will soon arrive at this place" Gall told Bane.

"Good, General. I will prepare now" said Bane as he hurried to leave the room.

No more than half an hour away, the gate of Varun City was beginning to be seen. It appeared that dozens of Vistralle warriors were already preparing to form a formation in front of his gate.

Lucia stopped her army at a considerable distance from the opposing army formation. Just to keep watch, because the other party also has Firearms.

"Give the gate to you, Cas," said Lucia, who also gave Caspian orders to carry out the attack.

"Ready, Your Highness," replied Caspian before then directing his horse towards the row of horsemen on the left.

It was seen that the Great General of Rhodsodia began to grip tightly the bridle and put up a swing. Then raised his right hand up, before exclaiming "Rhapsodia, assault!" His horse ran forward.

-

Caspian and the cavalry quickly rushed towards the gate of Varun City. And as the name implies, namely: The Riding Forces of Firearms, it is no wonder that the horsemen appear to be carrying Long Rifle Rifles on their backs.

The rifle was specially made to have a blade at the end of the barrel. Such as affirming that the weapon can not only be used to shoot, but also can be used to slash.

But unlike Aksa's Gunblade, this weapon is basically a fairly lightweight Long Barrel Rifle. It's just that it has an extra blade at the end.

While the outer frame is made of Dracz metal so that the barrel is not immediately destroyed when the Rifle hit another sword when swung to slash.

.

Caspian can be seen starting to raise his rifle up to signal the troops behind him. "Prelease aim!" then shouted.

And almost simultaneously, the horsemen began to take their rifles from behind their backs. Then begin to raise it with both hands to the front of the face to prepare for the shot.

The special forces had indeed been trained to shoot from above the saddle while their horses were running. Although their shot was not as accurate as when aiming on the ground, it was still accurate enough to hit the target in front of them.

Actually, this type of army is also owned by the kingdom of Estrinx. It's just that their army used arrows. Archer's Horse Riding Force.

.

"Prepare!" Back Caspian who had also done the shot shouted giving a warning. "Foot!" And along with the exclamation, he pulled the trigger. Followed by the other soldiers.

The sound of a Firearms explosion rang out to one another among the clamoring of horse legs. And then it was seen that some of the opposing soldiers began to fall down hit by bullets from Caspian and his troops.

But because the enemy soldiers also have Firearms, then even comparable replies can be done. And now the sound of another Firearms explosion was heard from the opposing camp.

Although the horsemen were wearing Bulletproof protective clothing, still some appeared to have fallen because their wounded horses were hit by bullets.

But because the number is not too much, the formation and speed of the troop does not change at all.

"Prelease aim!" Caspian continued, raising his rifle in front of his face and preparing to take aim again. "Foot!" And back he pulled the trigger. Followed by others.

Opponents looking to put bullets in their rifles had to stop them and start taking cover. Because a series of shots were fired again by the horseman.

Indeed, another advantage of the Riding Army's rifle is; it has a metal cylinder for the bullet container. Like the one on a gun. Although small and only contains 4 bullets, but it is very helpful when in the field of battle. Because it means they can do 4 shots in a row without the need to fill the bullet first.

.

Now the fallen enemy soldiers also increased along with the approach of the Horse Troop.

Caspian, who had run out of bullets, began to hold his rifle as if he was holding a sword. Then he began to push his horse faster towards the opposing line while preparing to knock his rifle.

While the opposing side seemed to have no intention of retreating or escaping from the battlefield. They also prepared to assemble horses to welcome the cavalry with their shields and swords.

And then a close fight ensued.
