Chapter 424: The Beginning of the Temple (6)
The Toscani Empire's grand army faced off against the army of Prince Wittenburg, who supported the Protestant faith, on the Hallungen Plain.
The two forces chose the conventional tactic of engaging in an open battle on the plain.
Among them was the 8th Division's 2nd Regiment, commanded by Baron Florin, who had the heart of a beast.
Florin marched alongside his soldiers with light steps, as though he were on a picnic, completely indifferent to the dangers of battle.
It was as if he had thrown any fear of death away.
"2nd Regiment! 2nd Regiment, march forward and stay in step with me, your regimental commander! Do not fear, and advance!"
He moved forward with his soldiers as part of the line of infantry.
Up ahead, enemy cannons fired loudly, and the sounds of soldiers being torn apart by cannonballs reached the troops' ears.
Regardless, the Toscani Empire army continued to press forward.
In war, it is only natural that the unlucky ones lose limbs and get shot, heading toward Deus.
Of course, higher-ranking officers (those of lieutenant colonel rank and above) traditionally don't stand in the same formation as the lowly soldiers, following the proper cultural etiquette.
They don't even bother aiming at the soldiers—it's the least they can do to avoid getting killed.
