Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

General Webster was once again entrusted with the task. Whether as a devout believer or a loyal soldier, he could not refuse this responsibility.

He inspected the army and used an infectious speech to mobilize the low morale again. He sent envoys to travel around the inland countries of Horn Bay to seek continued support from all countries.

Webster made fair and equitable distribution of various support materials allocated by the Holy See, which convinced everyone.

The soldiers of the Guardians were replenished, and their equipment was also maintained and updated. With the unremitting efforts of the general, it gradually returned to its heyday.

At the same time, under Webster's insistence, another force that went to the north to attack Eaton was also transferred back and joined with the main force. The Guardians will once again make a fist to hit an enemy hard.

Among the troops that came from the north to join, there was a special group of people, that is, the army of Grand Duke Giles of the Southern Territory of Aldo. They arrived in Horn Bay in the name of mercenaries and fought under the employment of the Horn Bay Church.

Thinking of the so-called "Volunteer Army of the Horn Bay" on the side of the Protestant Alliance, the fact that the two most powerful lords in the south and north of Ordo actually fought on the land of other countries was also regarded as a strange story. Many people privately regarded it as a symbolic event that the power of the Ordo monarchy had declined to the point where it could not be further reduced.

The confidence of the Crusaders was restored. Recalling that at the beginning of this war, they were also pushed back, but they pushed back again. Now they will create this miracle again.

Eton and other countries located in the north of the Horn Bay found that the enemy troops approaching their territory retreated. Combined with the current situation, they immediately saw through the enemy's intentions.

At the request of Marianna, an army composed of the northern states of the Protestant Alliance sailed south to support their ally, the Horn Bay Alliance.

Because they also had to defend their own territory, the scale of this support army was not large. Who can be sure that the southern movement of the northern Crusaders is not a false move? But the team was sincere enough. It was led by Grand Duke Eteot Cabre himself, accompanied by his wife Helen and Helen's teacher Marianna - her identity was still secret.

The situation of the war in Horn Bay calmed down briefly, but everyone knew that it was just the calm before the storm. Both sides of the war were preparing for a decisive war.

In any case, the Protestant Alliance was exhausted, and the strength it had was only enough to be the last gamble.

As for the Holy See, its headquarters was far away from Horn Bay, and it would cost a lot to support the Church in Horn Bay. It could have been solved through the sea caravans in Ordo (mainly the Northwest Bay), and they only needed to spend money, but Collins' attack on Lion Port pushed the Ordo merchants to the opposite side, and the Holy See, which lost this important delivery channel, became increasingly difficult to provide assistance to Horn Bay.

Therefore, the upcoming war may be the final battle of Horn Bay.

Many people with a long-term vision can see that the outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the world in a sense.

If the Crusaders win, the Church will restore its prestige to a great extent, regain control of the Horn Bay, which is regarded as a major trading center at the corner of the continent, and then free up its hands to deal with Gabela.

If the Protestant Alliance wins, the Church will lose face, and the claim that it claims to be the spokesperson of God will be untenable. How can God let his spokesperson fail?

More countries will follow suit, and the prestige of the Church will be wiped out in a series of blows.

All major forces have sent spies and spies to lurk in the Horn Bay, closely following the development of the situation.

Finally, under the attention of the public, the final battle began.

After the Crusaders took sufficient rest, Webster ordered the army to advance westward again. The Protestant Alliance, which learned the news, immediately sent troops to meet them.

The Protestant Army, including the Horn Bay Volunteer Army, had about 45,000 troops, while the Crusaders had a force of 48,000. The two sides collided head-on in an open area called Hestia, and each deployed its formation, ready for a battle.

Since the Horn Bay Volunteer Army had the largest number of troops among the Protestant Army, Andrew naturally became the commander-in-chief of the battlefield.

The Horn Bay Volunteer Army was deployed in the center of the entire battle formation. Alda's nine battalions adopted the usual linear tactics, consisting of several rows of shallow horizontal columns. The mercenaries and other allied armies adopted the traditional phalanx tactics. The second largest number of the Horn Bay Alliance Army was deployed on the right wing of the battle formation, and the armies of Eaton and other countries were deployed on the left wing of the battle formation.

The Crusaders all used phalanx tactics. They arrived at the battlefield before their opponents and occupied the higher ground in advance, which was very beneficial to their vision.

In the initial encounter, neither side could figure out the other's strength, and neither dared to launch a full-scale attack. They mainly engaged in small-scale cavalry clashes to test the other's weaknesses.

But not long after, the artillery of the Arda army was deployed in place, using the advantage of range to fiercely bombard the phalanx of the Skitarii, causing considerable casualties to the Skitarii, who faced such weapons for the first time in reality.

Webster ordered the long-range weapons such as crossbows to be moved forward to counter the Protestant army's artillery.

The Alda gunners changed their targets and focused on bombarding the enemy's long-range units. The excellent craftsmanship and sufficient training made the accuracy of the Alda artillery free from the interference of luck to a certain extent. Seeing that his long-range projection equipment was destroyed one by one, General Fedotov, who was in charge of commanding the Skitarii cavalry, lost his composure.

This brave general once led the Skitarii to force a roundabout attack through the neutral countries to the north of Diagonal Bay, but when he attacked into Eaton, he was plotted against by a group of evil wizards and suffered a shameful defeat.

Alda's artillery reminded him of those bad memories. At that time, it was also accompanied by fire and roar. His army collapsed under the mysterious attack method and finally returned in defeat.

No mistakes, one sentence, one content, one book, one bar!

Fedotov once vowed to regain his glory on the battlefield, and the flag representing the Duke of Eaton in the enemy camp made him crazy.

Seeing that the other side used "evil magic" again, Fedotov could not hold back.

"Notify the boys, prepare to charge!"

His adjutant was horrified, "General, Lord Webster has not given the order yet!"

Fedotov looked ferocious, "God, Webster does not know the horror of those magics. We must kill the wizards hidden in the enemy's army before that terrible fire explosion occurs. At the very least, we can create chaos and interfere with their spellcasting."

He ordered without question: "Send someone to notify Webster, and all the rest will follow me to charge!"

In this way, with the neighing of the warhorse, Fedotov led his cavalry to rush to the opposite left wing, where the flag of Grand Duke Eaton was erected.

The cavalry's charge raised a huge smoke and dust, which could be seen from a long distance. Andrew immediately ordered the left wing of the army to be ready and set up a long spear formation to deal with the enemy's charge.

Webster, the commander of the Crusaders, was furious. He shouted in the direction of Yanchen: "You are destroying my life's honor and reputation!"
