"Retreat!" Michaela commanded, their advantage was that everyone except the special battalions rode horses, this improved their mobility to retreat when the bombardment failed.
"The enemy's cavalry is already numerous enough to catch us, and they also had the footmen chasing madly, if this plan works we should be able to reduce their numbers quickly," she thought as she rode together her horse retreating a few kilometers.
"It's visible!" Michaela saw brown rags on the ground, it indicated where their countermeasures were placed, she became happy to see it.
"Okay everyone! Ride around those rags you see! Don't ever step on one or we'll all die!" She spoke with a smile on her face as she rode her horse.
The men came after her, they had thousands of cavalrymen with them, seeing Michaela's army far ahead, they increased their speed further to catch them as instructed, and didn't notice that they just have entered the human-made hell by going in the middle of a wide minefield.
[Click] [Boom!]
As the horses stomped on the ground, BC's were triggered and containers flew from the ground and spewed out projectiles. The cavalrymen who was supposed to be on the chase were riddle with splinters everywhere, including the footmen that came with them, often losing limbs, or getting thrown into the air.
"The BC's are placed correctly and with the elevation, those who are following aren't able to see that the men in front of them were already within the field, as a result⦠'' Michaela and her army stopped a safe distance.
The cavalrymen still kept going down from the natural elevation and when they went down, it was already too late, as their horses were already in the field without them realizing, it instantly became a raging hell, with this the number of cavalrymen has dropped significantly, but still their numbers were still large, those who were running was able to stop just a few meters from the field saving them from explosions.
However in Andrei's strategy, this was already accounted for, and if this would happen, the demolition platoon was to throw molotovs while being hidden. The dead knights who were safe from the minefield were engulfed with the fire quickly, unable to scream.
A black sheet of magic tried to protect them, however, for a strange reason it didn't save them from the splinters nor the molotovs.
"I see, so it can only block magic," Michaela realized the weakness of the black curtain. In a few minutes the vanguard was already routed, which was 50% of the dead knights stationed at Mizar Settlement.

"Damn! Damn! Damn! What the hell is happening?" The elf commander's eyes were glued to his soldiers, "Are those eruptions? I have been trying to block it with my magic, but why does it still do damage? Don't tell me that those things don't have any magic imbued within them? It's impossible! But how? Didn't they have assistance from Muspelheim? And what the hell is this noise? It's too much to bear! My ears are ringing just by hearing it here!"
His eyes looked like it was going to pop out from his anger, and confusion and then he saw humans that carried large bags throwing bottles of which became flames.
"Such tricks! After them!"
He ordered footmen to chase after the men dressed in rags, who were coming in and out of the nearby trees throwing bottles, but to his surprise when they got into some distance they were already hit by something, one by one they dropped like flies before they could do anything.
"Damnit! Come back here idiots! And start Unholy Sword Incantations!" He gave a telepathy message, but it wasn't able to reach them anymore.
"Have we been routed? Damn I have to get close," he rode his horse, and directed the rest of the rear. to give support to the forces on the vanguard together with him, with this all the forces that gathered at Mizar settlement were no more, they all charged at the enemy kilometers ahead.
