Demon Slayer People and Teigu Users!
The Frenzied Fire Knights.
One of the four great knightly orders of the Alkemi Alchemy Kingdom, totaling three thousand professional knights, all of whom are nobles and all are Alchemists graduated from the 'Truth Academy'.
They possess the most robust physiques, the most superb horsemanship and marksmanship, and the most advanced knowledge in all fields.
Their armor, lances, shields, and longswords were all made of alchemical alloys, comparable to the Shingu of the empire and the Nether Treasures of the Shenhe Island.
The warhorses they rode were a Level 2 Danger Beasts called 'Baneta'.
It can reach speeds of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour, carry loads of 30 to 40 tons, and its massive size allows it to smash through a 20-centimeter-thick stone wall without sustaining any damage.
Therefore, they have always been a key focus of cultivation by the Alchemi Kingdom.
Over the centuries, on the battlefields against the Empire, this Frenzied Fire Knights have crushed the bodies of countless soldiers and Danger Beasts; even the 'Beastman Unit' have found it difficult to withstand their charge head-on.
[Boom!]
At this moment, braving the howling artillery fire and the increasingly strong Tornado that created resistance around them, they accelerated at a visible speed, their explosive momentum resembling a ball of lava erupting from a volcano.
The sounds of exploding shells and the screams of dying infantrymen became the most exhilarating war drums in their ears.
But none of this could affect their unwavering will, forged through countless trials.
Each of the Knights of the Order, a Fiery Knight, held a shield in his left hand and a lance in his right, and with incredible horsemanship, began to adjust their distance and position as the group galloped.
In the blink of an eye.
The three thousand knights formed a perfect circle, within which a complex pattern with Pentagram as the main element was formed, like a constantly moving transmutation circle!
It's simply unimaginable what kind of rigorous training they underwent to achieve such a level.
These people are nobles!
[Buzz----]
At this moment, the alchemy array was fully formed, and a bright crimson light appeared on the armor of each knight. When the crimson light of the three thousand people gathered together, a loud explosion ignited the surrounding air.
In Setsuna.
The entire Frenzied Fire Knights were completely transformed into a raging inferno that swept across the plains, turning every patch of ground it touched into scorched earth and lava, and its advance accelerated dramatically.
This scene left the support soldiers inside each tank dumbfounded.
Charlotte Oven and the other Army officers behind him were dumbfounded, as were the high-ranking officials of the Otherworld Strategy Committee, the Army Headquarters, the Marine Headquarters, and the CIPHER POL Headquarters on the Sea Star Homeworld.
"Fire! Fire!"
"Bomb them to death on their way!"
The commander of the tank group was yelling furiously into the radio, but he didn't need to give the order; the surrounding tanks had already aimed their guns at him.
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
In an instant, thousands of cannons fired simultaneously, Jet Bullet formed jets of scorching metal in the air, visually resembling a dense meteor shower covering the surging fire wave that rushed in.
It was as if fire from the heavens clashed with fire from the earth.
In the blink of an eye, the two collided, instantly producing a series of deafening explosions.
Part of the jet of metal was forcefully propelled by the towering fire wave and splashed onto the plains on both sides.
Another portion of the metal jets that were directly impacted managed to break through with difficulty thanks to their high impact force, but were then smashed apart head-on by the knights in front with their sharp lances.
At this point, the two sides were less than a kilometer apart, and the tanks in the distance had already taken evasive action.
These people from the ' Demon Slayer World were no strangers to heavy cavalry; they knew more or less that while they were terrifying in a straight line, they were very slow to turn.
In that case, we should move aside to the sides in advance, and then launch another round of shelling from the flanks and rear.
But what happened next was beyond their expectations.
The raging flames turned smoothly to the left, like a 'Fire Dragon' suddenly turning its head, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on the panicked 'crows'.
"No!!!"
Inside a tank at the forefront of the fire, three support soldiers—one to operate, one to observe, and one to load ammunition—watched in despair as the massive wave of fire engulfed them.
If you look down from a high altitude...
You could see a raging fire, like a gluttonous snake, swallowing up black tanks along the way, leaving only pools of molten iron after the fire subsided.
However, the tanks on the right seized the opportunity and fired repeatedly at the side of the fire wave, attempting to completely destroy its waist.
Their attack finally had an effect.
Although the knights on both sides of the Frenzied Fire Knights raised their round shields to block some of the metal jets, dozens of them were still killed or wounded in the face of continuous shelling from hundreds of tanks.
This caused the wave of fire enveloping them to visibly sway, but as each knight adjusted their position in unison, it quickly stabilized, though the Huoguang were somewhat weaker than before.
In that short span of time, hundreds of heavy tanks had already been melted by the flames!
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
At this moment, taking advantage of the opportunity when the heavy tank group was entangled with the Frenzied Fire Knights, loud commands rang out from the infantry ranks that had been hiding under the steel layer.
Instantly, three magnificent formations of ten thousand men each burst forth like a flood released from a dam.
The white-robed Alchemists in the group also gripped their pens tightly, ready to draw a 'military transmutation circle' on the ground at any time to defend against various large-scale attacks from the enemy.
As for the various transmutation circles drawn on their clothes beforehand, these are personal coping mechanisms they only use when they are threatened.
On the other side.
Charlotte Oven's approximately 15,000 Auxiliary Corps soldiers had already laid the military trucks that had brought them there sideways, unloaded the fuel tanks, and formed two steel defensive lines spaced a hundred meters apart.
Soldiers in green uniforms, some holding automatic rifles and others crouching beside mortars, gazed ahead, quietly waiting for the enemy infantry formations to enter their firing range.
Not long after.
A long black line appeared in the distance, with nearly 30,000 armored infantrymen holding shields and swords forming a strict battle formation. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps that seemed to pound on one's heart, dust billowed and pressed down.
This caused many auxiliary soldiers to subconsciously swallow, their Adam's apples bobbing up and down.
A tense atmosphere arose spontaneously.
The two sides are getting closer and closer.
Soon, the front-line Alkemi infantrymen made eye contact with the auxiliary soldiers on the front line. The killing intent in their eyes was exactly the same, and their blades and gun barrels were pointed directly at each other.
"Kill!!!"
Alkemi's side launched the first major charge, holding their shields in front of them and running with their heads down, watching the ground beneath their feet.
Because the Imperial Army was also equipped with a large number of firearms, these infantrymen were very familiar with the process.
Just keep running.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
[Da da da da da]
The Auxiliary Corps soldiers pulled the triggers hard, and in Setsuna, bright Huoguang erupted from the muzzles of the entire row of guns as countless bullets rained down like a storm.
One after another, mortars spat out red-hot shells that shot straight into the sky.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
At the same time.
At the rear of the Alchemi Kingdom's formation, one could see men holding longbows made of some kind of metal, launching arrows made of the same metal.
In Setsuna, a 'black cloud' appeared in the blue sky, moving in a parabolic trajectory, and fell towards the front-line positions of the Auxiliary Corps with a speed and range far exceeding that of normal arrows.
This moment.
It can be described as a war between the World Government and the Alchemi Kingdom, or as a battle between Demon Slayer People and Teigu.
