## Chronology

### Rodenius War Arc

After the 17th Observation Tower was destroyed by a 155mm shell from the JGSDF's Type 99 155 mm self-propelled howitzer, General Patagene called the 400 on-duty rapid reaction knights to move out immediately and use their mobility to distract the enemy. 400 knights of the Capital Defense Knight’s 32nd Troop are preparing to sally out. The troop, consisting only of mounted knights, excelled in utilizing their horses’ mobility to harass and wreak havoc among their enemies’ ranks. Troop commander Hiz lamented that the attack fell on the day in which he was on duty but he nevertheless gave encouragement to his fellow soldiers.

When the horses neighed as the northeastern gate opened, letting the 400 horsemen out of the walls. The horses’ hooves kicked up a cloud of dust as the troop began to march at full speed. The distance to the enemy was 4km so the first thing that they’d do is to probe how the enemy will set out to meet them by provoking them with their arrows. Everyone took an arrow from their quivers on their back.

Hiz saw many light bullets suddenly flying at the cavalries from the JGSDF Type 90 tanks lined up against the enemy line about two kilometers ahead. The bullets of light fired from the hillside entrenchments hit the knights and their horses, tearing both to shreds. Hiz, who was in front of the troop, immediately hid to escape the danger but the knights who were next to and following from behind him were all torn apart to shreds.

Even the knights who advanced with iron shields at the ready were easily peppered by the bullets and kicked off from their horses. The steady march of the bullets of light seemingly drew red lines through the air as they easily pierced through the armor of the cavalrymen, raising up clouds of pulverized rock as they hit the ground. They lost more than 100 men to the unending hail of light.

Burning with rage, troop commander Hiz immediately ran for the closest entrenchment. In the next moment, he was beset upon by more bullets of light. As the bullets peppered his body, sprays of blood flowered from behind him as he fell on his back.

In just two charges, the 32nd Troop had already lost 300 men. Losing their commander, the surviving horsemen, too afraid of the overwhelmingly powerful attack, routed completely as each man ran back towards the walls. The Type 90 main battle tanks of the JGSDF’s 7th Division simultaneously fired their 7.62mm machine guns and 12.7mm heavy machine guns at the approaching 32nd Troop of the Louria Kingdom’s Capital Defense Knights. Having lost more than 300 cavalrymen, the troop was virtually annihilated.

Starting with General Patagene, the military strategists were in a state of shock. As the fortunate survivors of the 1st Cavalry fled into the capital, the cavalry knight, who got injured with his head bleeding, finally began to speak to General Patagene that the enemy might be few, but they threw the light bullets as their weapon.

## Trivia
