"That was a group of knights with faith, but they just chose the wrong side." - Sunset Cavalry reminded me of the era of epic movies, while admiring, I also felt sad.

"Wife, it's already this time, and you still want to cook?"

"Answer me!"

"Yes, the food you made is terrible!"

"Then I won't cook for you anymore."

"Can we be quiet..."

That's right, now only the artillery has the right to speak.

The firepower of the vanguard army's artillery is formidable, and the mound as a cover is quickly flattened, and not a single monster in the trench has a clean face. Especially the succubi are crying out with resentment. The makeup that was just applied in the morning has now turned into a clown face.

"Raul, hiding is not a solution for us!"

Leya wore a white sun hat, covered with dirt. She is a succubus who can lose her head and bleed, but her makeup must not be ruined. Even with a gun pointed at her head, Leya will say, "Stay elegant, and don't get dirty."

"Wait, we can only wait for now. Don't worry, you will have your turn to fight soon."

If General Bo had a bit of intelligence, he should let the border guards enter the forest now and outflank from both sides. But regardless of whether he will do that or not, our wings are the strongest melee fighters - werewolves and orcs.

After ten rounds of shelling, the vanguard army is not foolish. They see that our positions are empty, so they quickly stop the meaningless pouring of artillery fire. I briefly expose myself to observe the situation with a telescope, and the enemy begins to advance slowly. I can faintly hear the sound of trumpets and drums playing military music.

"What are you looking at?"

"Can't you see that I'm observing the enemy's movements?"

"Let me see."

"Take a look, and after that, hide."

As a commander who brought his wife to the battlefield, I am probably the first in history.

"All humans can come out of the trenches, and monsters should stay still."

I relayed the message to Simmon. We are still out of range of rifles. Compared to monsters, humans are smaller in size, so if the artillery fires, the casualties will be smaller. Over three hundred people formed a scattered line according to the crouching position that I taught them, raising their rifles.

As a human, I naturally crouch with my gun, and Sasha cannot climb up from the trench...

"Wife, what are you doing?"

"I, I want to come up and be with you."

"Stay well in the trench, don't come up."

"No, I want to protect you."

Medusa climbs into the trench and without anyone's help, she absolutely cannot climb up. The trench we dug is just deep enough to reach our chests, Sasha can't even flip the cart, let alone the trench. I watched her struggle to climb her upper body for a long time, feeling anxious myself.

"Wife, go back, I have to go back later too!"

"I'm not going back. Heya!"

"Madam Wife, I beg you, hurry back and hide!"

"Then what about you?"

"I am quick in my movements, if there's danger, I can jump into the trench in one leap."

After the vanguard army stopped shelling, there are two purposes for letting all humans come out. Firstly, to see their reaction. If they fire again, it means the vanguard army's tactics are stable. Secondly, to see if they still have any mercy left for their fellow humans. But the vanguard army's commander is General Bo, he knows my character well, especially after Forging Roses and the six Holy Spirits were annihilated.

I quietly observe the enemy's movements, the advancing troops have stopped, and the atmosphere on the battlefield is tense.

"Honey, look!"

"Oh my god..."

Sasa's head popped out of the trench, making a silly face at me.

"Darling, stop fooling around."

"Hehe~ Hehehe~~"

If Boss Po knew that we, a married couple, were flirting and joking around in the midst of a bloody battlefield, he would probably explode with rage.

While watching my wife fool around in the trench, I also focused on the enemy artillery through my binoculars. With a distance of over 700 meters, it took two seconds for sound to travel, so identifying whether the opponents fired or not required observing the large amount of white smoke coming out of their artillery barrels.

"Simmon! Get back in the trench!!!"

As I shouted these words, I already saw the smoke from the artillery muzzle and heard the sharp whistling sound of the projectiles rubbing against the air.

Boss Po was really stable, using cannons for the nearly 370 humans. My wife immediately stopped making faces and helped me jump back into the trench. She took a look at the condition of the Night Fall Town residents. Finally, someone was injured by the flying debris from the exploding shells, and two of the witches with healing magic urgently treated the wounded.

"Sixth round... Seventh round..."

"Honey, what are you counting?"

"After the 32nd round, they won't be able to disturb our rest with their cannons anymore."

The caliber of the kingdom's artillery was above 150mm, and in terms of quality, it could be compared to the British 40-pound cannons during the Napoleonic Wars. However, the volume of the projectiles also limited the amount of ammunition that could be carried. Each cannon required at least two horses to transport, the ammunition vehicle also required two horses, and the shells were stored in wooden boxes in a 4x4 arrangement. The ammunition capacity of an ammunition vehicle was two boxes, which equaled 32 shells.

As long as we could deceive them into using up all 32 shells, the Thunder Caller would become helpless.

"Leya, one minute from now, get all your sisters out of the trench and listen to my orders. As long as the cannons fire, you all fly back into the trench."

After the tenth round of barrage, I said this to Leya.

Leya was an expert at deceiving the shells since she was a succubus. After all, she was agile, and I seemed to see the red word "miss" constantly floating above the enemy artillerymen's heads. But this time, the enemy only fired two rounds. Boss Po understood my little trick.

Continuing like this would be a meaningless war of attrition, and it was only the vanguard army unilaterally consuming ammunition.

There must be a force to break the deadlock, and that force is the Violet Gun.

"Wife, do you see those human riders opposite?"

"What's wrong? Are they formidable?"

"Oh yes, they're very formidable. So in a while, let your sisters turn them all into stone."

"Okay, okay!"

My wife was very excited because it was finally Medusa's turn to take the stage.

The vanguard army of the kingdom was a dedicated force for monster conquest, composed of regular army, border defense army, Violet Gun, and some artillery. It was unclear how many magicians the Magic Council provided as assistance, but from a tactical perspective, they were indeed the most professional.

The blue border defense troops on the left and right wings entered the forest, while the red regular army on the front spread out in formation, about 500 meters away from us, standing still. The artillery was ready in a strict formation.

"Wolfrang, there are over 1,000 border defense troops in the western forest. It's up to you to deal with them."

"Just waiting for you to say that."

"Orc Lord, there are over 1,000 border defense troops in the eastern forest. I'm giving them to you."

"Hahaha, Urum, let's go."

"Orc Lord, could you keep your voice down a bit?"

"Keep your voice down, we orcs never sneak around!"

Sasha and I both covered our faces, it seemed that orcs would never be able to launch a surprise attack.

The battle in the forests on both sides of the East and West is expected to last at least another hour. Now, in the front line, there are only Succubus, Night Fall Town volunteers, Medusa, Nephila and Thunderbird.

"Wife, do you understand the situation now?"

"Wolfrang is attacking, orcs are attacking, and we are defending, right?"

"That's right, but we will soon be defending in a strange way."

In the trench, I held Sasha and explained to everyone while smoking. The greatest strength of cavalry is the charge. If you let the cavalry fight in close combat without moving, their combat effectiveness is no better than infantry. So as long as we make their horses stop, it's good.

"Simmon, have you prepared everything I asked everyone to prepare?"

"It's done, but how are we going to use this stuff?"

"You'll find out soon~"

Simmon looked at me with a puzzled face, not understanding what I was up to.

Previously, we made one-third of the explosives into grenade shapes that were easy to throw, but there were no fuses in this era. Even if they looked like grenades, they wouldn't explode when thrown. Everyone was puzzled. Are we going to play suicide attacks with explosives?

Indeed, we couldn't let the explosives explode for no reason, but we had a kind of magic - instantaneous water heating.

Instantaneous water heating is quite popular among witches and succubi. More than thirty people can use it proficiently through trial and error. Their responsibility is to use magic to heat and detonate the explosives when they are thrown into the air. This is actually very dangerous, because the explosives weighing six or seven jin can only be thrown about twenty meters by a person. The cavalry moving at a speed of ten meters per second would give only one chance.

But I was willing to bet, and the chances of winning were high.

There were red cloth strips tied to the explosives to help the succubi and witches concentrate better when casting the spell.

"Husband, the guys on horseback are coming out."

"Get ready, I won't shout to tell you when to throw the explosives, rely on your own judgment."

After giving the orders, I took the telescope handed over by my wife. The red-clad soldiers in the enemy's central army neatly opened up a path, as if opening a big curtain. The knights, who were praised by the kingdom's soldiers and civilians, appeared in their orange military uniforms and metal helmets. The war horses on which they sat and the spears in their hands were the silent prologue.

"Wife, do you think there are 1,500 or 2,000 of them?"

"I think 1,500."

"Then I think there are 2,000."

"I can't count them all~"

"It would be good if we turn all of them into corpses later."

"Makes sense. But what if there are 1,500?"

"If you guess correctly, I'll make you a delicious meal tonight."

"Deal."

There were indeed too many lances. Although in ancient times, it was common to have millions of troops in battle, 3,000 soldiers seemed very few. But if you think about it carefully, our entire high school grade probably only has about 3,000 students.

General Bo sent about 2,000 stable soldiers, and quickly formed a arrow-shaped formation, launching the charge amid the sound of military bugles.

The charge of these cavalrymen was divided into two stages. The initial formation was stable, but as they gradually approached the target, they began to accelerate. The sound of horse hooves went from distant to near, merging into a roaring fury.

"Give me the gun."

I took the empty gun from Simmon's hand, and then squeezed a bullet in front of Sasha.

"Wife, use magic."

"Hehe, you're getting cocky again, aren't you?"

"Well, now I even know how to use the word 'cocky'."

"Of course. But if you miss, it'll be embarrassing~"

With a teasing tone, Sasha said to me and then applied magic to the bullet. At a time like this, I had to put on a show, not because I wanted to, but because we were outnumbered and everyone needed a morale boost.

I loaded the bullet wrapped in white mist into the barrel, and everyone around me stared intently.

Just over a hundred meters away, I was going to shoot the knight in the front. Inhale, then hold my breath...

"Bang!"

A white line extended over a hundred meters, and all the humans and monsters saw the knight falling from his horse. Everyone cheered behind the dirt mound cover. The move called the "Affectionate Couple Bullet" had never failed.

"Wife, give me a kiss~"

"Mmm~"

Watching us, the carefree couple, Simmons laughed along.

Facing the icy glint of the cavalry spear, no one retreated, and no one fired prematurely. Everyone became confident because of the confidence of me and Sasha.

As for this "Sunset Cavalry", they would surely be defeated in front of us, the couple, today.
