May 14th, 1693 – Southern Elysea Countryside
Prince Bruno's army marched steadily across the rolling fields, their banners fluttering in the spring breeze. Over three thousand soldiers strong, the force moved with discipline and precision. Among them, two thousand carried newly issued bolt-action rifles, each man equipped with ample ammunition and trained in modern firing drills. The remainder of the army was armed with a mix of rifles, bayonets, and sabers, supported by the new artillery units.
Howitzers and field guns, designed under Bruno's supervision, were mounted on reinforced carriages and hauled by teams of horses. Supply wagons carried food, medical equipment, and additional ammunition, ensuring the army was ready for prolonged engagements.
