1,200 Imperial Knights were ready, they mounted, they charged, their morale was high!
They were defeated.
Shanruan wiped the lens of the telescope hard, he could hardly believe his eyes.
They were defeated!
Just a few minutes had passed?
They hadn't even charged into the enemy formation; they fell within the firing range of the clockwork guns after the artillery barrage.
Twice three-round volleys, plus a round of six-pounder grape shot, and a counter-charge.
After this, the Imperial Knights were easily repelled before engaging directly.
There were 1,200 knights when they left, but counting them on the way back, there were less than 1,100 knights.
"Cowardly humans!" Sitting on a cart pulled by two Centaur guards, Shanruan stomped his feet in anger.
The axle of the cart and the two Centaurs let out painful creaking sounds.
Samuji, however, laughed heartily beside him: "This human is so lame!"
