I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Fortunately, before this, Medea had already reformed the army and demoted the non-commissioned officers who had received cultural and ideological education to the company level.

Under their leadership, the defense line was quickly reorganized, and they barely repelled Nipalmo's large-scale attack again before the support brought by Medea arrived.

Nipalmo, who was personally supervising the battle, was so angry that he drew his sword and killed a fleeing soldier who was running back. At the same time, deep doubts arose in his heart.

In the past, large-scale magic washing was used in conjunction with the soldiers' attack. If the enemy did not have a mage corps to block the magic, the opponent would most likely flee due to the huge number of casualties. This tactic was always effective.

But why did the other side not only hold on but also have the energy to fight back?

Before he could think more, there was a commotion at the position in front that had blocked his army's progress for more than a month, and in his sight, groups of soldiers retreated to the rear.

Nipalmo was stunned for a moment and then overjoyed: "They're retreating! They can't hold on any longer and want to run away!"

"Captain Lutz!"

"Master Marshal Nipalmo, I am here!"

"Mobilize all cavalry units, follow me and charge to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop!"

From the beginning of the war to now, Nipalmo has never used the cavalry unit composed of small lords, knights and the royal knights.

These 3,000 heavily armored cavalry and 20,000 shock cavalry are the winning trump cards in his hand, and now is the time to use them!

Nipalmo rode his horse with high spirits and looked around at the group of heavy cavalrymen with cold light flashing and armored men and horses behind him, and drew the sword worn at his waist.

‘Clang! ’

"Clang! Clang! ......"

The sound of swords being drawn rang out one after another. The titled heavy cavalry nobles put down their armor and reached out to take the spears carried by the servants. The magicians began to cast amplification spells to adjust their conditions to the best.

"Soldiers! Charge!"

As the horse under Nipalmo began to run, the cavalrymen behind him also followed, and their speed began to increase as the distance increased.

With every step the heavy cavalry's horses took, a yellowish-brown ripple could be seen emanating from their hooves towards the surroundings. The ground beneath it instantly solidified and hardened, and then became dull and lifeless when the horses' hooves left.

Their heavy weight crushed all soft tissues under their hooves, and scarlet blood spurted onto the shiny silver armor, making the originally elegant and majestic engraved patterns look hideous.

'Boom boom...'

The sounds made by the Knights' horses' hooves gradually became synchronized, like thunder, and the earth was shaking continuously.

They charged forward along the path cleared by the corpses of countless auxiliary soldiers and the meteor shower, and soon arrived at the last trench.

The yellow light flashing under the hooves of the war horses before gathered together and exploded at this moment. In an instant, countless hard rocks were generated and fell from the void, filling the trenches in an instant. From then on, the cavalry had no obstacles and could move forward smoothly.

The last few waves of retreating Astar soldiers ran head-on into the group of cavalrymen rushing down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, they were smashed into pieces of meat without causing any hindrance.

They were mortals after all, and had no chance of survival under the hooves of the magic-enhanced heavy cavalry.

Nipalmo, who was rushing in the front, saw the silver-haired girl standing on the top of the concrete fortress at a glance and pointed the long sword in his hand:

"Capture the rebel leader Medea alive and you will be rewarded with two promotions, ten thousand gold coins! Soldiers! Shout!"

The eyes of all the cavalrymen behind him suddenly turned red. Capturing one person could raise them two levels, allowing them to directly become great lords at the level of earl or marquis.

"Shock the gods! Honor our king! Kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

Medea, looking down at all this from a high place, listened to the shouts and cries of killing that filled the mountains and plains.

Seeing tens of thousands of cavalrymen charging towards her with devastating momentum, she closed her eyes and opened her arms.

"Kill!....Ugh..."

"boom!"

As she closed her eyes, the bunker beneath her feet shook violently, and then erupted with a roar that drowned out the shouts of tens of thousands of people on the other side.

“Tap-tap-tap…”

Three steel bunkers in different directions simultaneously spewed out four streams of metal, and the clang clang sound of metal collisions resounded through the sky.

Medea's face, which was still closed, turned red. The heavily armored knights who were charging frantically below paused and exploded into pieces of flesh amid countless sparks.

Huge horse and human heads flew everywhere, and pieces of flesh and armor were scattered everywhere, just like when they hit Astaire's soldiers before.

An invisible wall was outlined by their blood and energy, separating this world into two.

“Tatttatt…”

Nipalmo and some mages, wearing magic shields, barely rose to the air and tried to escape.

But what they didn't expect was that Medea specially arranged two diagonal guns just to deal with their group of flying ones.

Being hit by concentrated and dense bullets at a high frequency, the mage group that had just risen into the sky to avoid the fire network was suddenly shot one by one and turned into broken eggs and fell down.

Nipalmo fell to the ground and stared at Medea, who was less than a hundred meters away from him. The deafening sound made him unable to feel anything around him.

It was not until the other person finally opened his eyes with red at the corners that his eyes gradually lost focus and dimmed.

When Medea put down her hands and opened her eyes again, the world she saw had turned blood red. The enemies who had been shouting and killing at her with such great momentum were now lying peacefully on the ground.

After a brief silence, deafening wails and terrified howls resounded throughout the world.

The cavalrymen charging in the rear were lucky enough not to be hit, but most of them were frightened to the point of mental breakdown when they saw the bloody purgatory ahead.

But the war horses' impact potential energy was completely exhausted, and they were surrounded by their companions. They could neither retreat nor move forward.

Someone took out a long sword and desperately hacked at his companions around him, trying to find a way to survive from the side. At the same time, the sound of single shots from the soldiers' guns came from the two bunkers on the side that had been silent.

Some people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Medea, crying and begging for surrender, hoping to become slaves and work like beasts of burden.

Medea frowned as he looked at the remaining enemies on the battlefield.

As the soldiers of the machine gun regiment changed their weapons

A second round of intensive "tapping" sounds dominated the battlefield again, and tragic howling and crying sounded again, and her brows finally relaxed.

The good nobles are the dead nobles.

Chapter 22: I'd Rather Be a Peaceful Dog

From the very beginning, from the layout of her defense line to the distribution of the 212 bunkers, it was a huge pocket bait array.

How else would your cavalry have such a good place to launch a charge? What are you thinking about?

Stepping on the broken limbs and arms on the ground, Medea walked to the half of Nipalmo. Seeing his unwilling eyes, she shook her head gently and said, "Pathetic self-confidence."

Perhaps Nipalmo had guessed about her arrangement, and he might have guessed that there might be a large number of musketeers waiting for him behind Astaire.

But he still couldn't recover from the glory of the cavalry he had seen in decades of war.

Still choose to believe that the heavy cavalry blessed by magic can break through all obstacles.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong. This time he was no longer facing a single-shot musket, but a heavy machine gun with a round rate of 800 rounds per minute and using large-caliber metal bullets.

There are thirty of these things in total, and even Medea himself doesn't dare to resist them.

The price Nipalmo paid for his wrong guess was also heavy. The loss of 5,000 main heavy cavalry was equivalent to a quarter of the kingdom's small lords dying in this charge.

The 20,000 light cavalry also drained the mobile forces of all the surrounding territories. The entire northern gate of the kingdom was wide open and would tremble under the attack of Media's army.

The commander-in-chief was killed, and the remaining tens of thousands of Nepalese soldiers surrendered without surprise, and the battle came to an end.

More than 300,000 Nepali allied troops participated in the attack. The exact number of casualties is difficult to count, but roughly 40,000 survived and surrendered.

The defending Astar suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and one of the three divisions participating in the battle was destroyed.

The surrendered soldiers were disarmed and gathered together on the spot. Only when the train brought two more reserve divisions did Medea begin the random inspection of prisoners.

The disposal was also simple. All those with noble titles were captured and shot on the spot. The rest of the captives were slave laborers who needed to work in various dangerous and physically demanding industries in the Territory of Astar to earn points to escape slavery.

The three divisions that had experienced the war and the two new divisions were disbanded and reorganized in the way of old leading new, and the extra half took the slaves back.

The remaining four complete divisions rushed towards the nearest port city of Sendegas and the kingdom’s army’s supply station, Silvias.

The two leaders, frightened by the news of the defeat of the Kingdom Army at the front, surrendered without much effort.

The commander of the reorganized First Division also took over Fort Titos behind it. The Second Division on the other side followed suit and captured the city of Josparta.

After receiving the battle report, Medea immediately asked them to stop this behavior. What she wanted was not just the territory's submission to her.

Under her new command, a division occupied a territory and conducted a survey of the lords, big and small, in the territory. After the list was complete, Medea officially launched a large-scale Blood Rain Operation.

The Median army's innocent entry into the city some time ago calmed the frightened civilians in the city, but today's large-scale mobilization of the army made them nervous again.

No strange sounds were heard nearby. Those who were brave enough opened the door and stuck their heads out to look, and at a glance they saw the notice posted on the wall of their own house.

Posters such as "Anti-Aristocracy and Manor Owners Act" and "Commoner Equality Treaty" were posted all over the streets.

The Treaty of Equality for Commoners emphasized the rights of commoners and new welfare policies, while the words between the lines of the Anti-Aristocratic Landlord Act were full of blood.

All slaves of the nobles will be unconditionally accepted by Lord Astar, all private soldiers will be dismissed, all property will be unconditionally confiscated and their personal freedom will be restricted, and a team of non-commissioned officers will conduct an investigation into the evidence of their crimes.

Nobles who violate the new lord's decrees will be shot immediately, and those who disobey the implementation of the new lord's decrees will be shot immediately. Civilians are welcome to submit evidence or report, and will be rewarded with a bag of food.

After a while, a group of ordinary people dressed in tattered clothes like them loudly repeated the regulations on the notice in the streets and alleys so that illiterate people could understand the new decree.

More and more people opened the doors and gathered in front of the notice, listening to the literate person reading it over and over again.

However, the atmosphere in the area where the nobles were located was not so friendly. Suddenly, dense footsteps were heard at the gate of a luxurious and quiet manor.

'boom! '

After a gunshot, the heavy gate of the manor was opened, and a regiment of soldiers rushed in.

Anyone holding a weapon was shot on the spot until all the people in the manor were gathered together.

The regiment commander looked at the crowd in front of him, took out the evidence file that the sergeant had reviewed and began to announce it loudly. Every time a name was read, a gunshot was heard.

After the list was finished, each of the others was given some food and silver coins as severance pay, and then they were hired to load all the supplies and property in the manor onto trucks and transport them to the City Lord's Mansion.

In a fishing village by the sea in the southern part of Sendegas Territory, dozens of soldiers wearing simple armor were snatching fish frames on the simple dock.

The fishermen who had just returned from a life-threatening catch cried and begged for some fish to be left behind, but all they got in return was more ruthless beatings.

In the end, they could only leave behind a few corpses covered with whip marks, and watch in despair as the soldiers strode away carrying all their spoils.

After a round of looting, the soldiers happily returned to the village to reunite with other teams. Heavy gasps and wailing could be heard from the several wooden houses they passed by from time to time.

When passing by a young and vigorous corpse, a soldier spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into his wide-open eyes: "Damn, the kid just doesn't know how to live or die, unlucky."

The old village chief, who was kneeling on the ground not far away with a hunched back and a numb face, saw this scene. A slight fluctuation flashed in his cloudy pupils, and his lips trembled, but he didn't say anything in the end.
