Damn that was brutal... I can't wait until the final battle happens and the redtail are wiped out.
Welp...Time to mobolize EVERYONE so they can push back the Redtails/
The interesting thing will be to see if the Pony's will pull a page from the Deers book. When will they send there human to battle? Or even attempt to bring more to Equestria as reinforcments.
A thing to note, the Griffons stayed out of the fight as long as it was one kingdom vs another. Will the Griffon Emperor join the fight now it's 2 vs 1? He probably doesn't want a deer empire on his doorstep after all.
When reading about that fire trap, thought about Russian "Sunheat" which does great job in Syria cooking ISIS terrorists.

I'm afraid deer still have bigger army, even after this. Not to mention several aces in their sleeves, like that magic powder from previous chapter used on pegasi.
Mobilize all forces. We're going to raze the Deer's homeland to the ground.
7679842 You forgot that the Equestrians are also magical creatures...And their military heads won't tolerate being rendered vulnerable by some unknown weapons. They obviously take GREAT Pride in being a powerful professional army, they will do everything they can to even the odds and counter the Redtail's weapons.
About numbers...
Numberically speaking, the way it is going, other nations can't stand back and watch. And gendered armed force might have to give way to the need of more soldiers.
I'm curious about something. If supposedly the redtail does win, what will happen afterwards? Will they turn Equestrians into slaves and force them to service the redtails?
Got a sudden vibe of FoE. (Shudders)

Unknown weapon is bad, because it is UNKNOWN. Yes, maybe Equestrians can devise countermeasures for next time, but when redtail use it for the first time, ponies have no defense yet. Not to mention by this work's canon deer are more attuned to magic.
Considering numbers, please don't forget that time is akin to Medieval, or even Roman times. So, a) there is no gendered army. Females of any race are generally weaker than males. This is a fact of nature, so in old times armed forces consist of stallions primarily. And b), untrained militia is cannon fodder against trained soldiers. They can only win by numbers or by say leading invaders into a trap.
Other nations - well, there's politics involved. Some nations, like griffins, cannot participate directly for some reason, some are OK with redtail winning, some are simply too weak or too far. So, no reason to think that somebody will definitely help. Maybe, a third party will wait till both Equestria and Cervidaean Hegemony are weakened and then strike the loser.

We're in medieval, so most likely they'll just kill most ponies and force others to work say at mines - so killing them slowly.

Sorry, but Celestia is not into this.
Corvalix really needs to be sniped the fuck out. Only if the resident Human had one.

First. Of course the first time they encountered new stuff, they would face trouble. So was Romans back then and they managed to adapted to new tactics and weapons.
Second. Being somewhat weaker does not automaticly make one unfit for military duties. And there are exceptions to those. That said, females does have better endurance. And you are forgetting about magic.
Third. Who said anything about untrained militia? Why would Equestria uses untrained militia when their professional Legionaries and Praetorians are so much more effective? Even a regular Guard is better than several civilians playing soldiers.
They are not that desperate.
Fourth. Other nations are NOT OK with Redtails winning. And they won't be OK if or when Redtail wins.
They are currently not in for one reason or another that the author hasn't really given us yet. Or too vague..
Even if a third party wait before attacking both...Are they even going to be strong enough to take on a newly emerged empire that has just gained a very prosperous land, an enslaved workforce, along with having a lot of war veterans that are still high in spirit due to being victorious, and all the while already planned to push on with their military conquest?
Fifth. Celestia might not raze one's homeland, but she will definitely kill the ones responsible for so many deaths, destructions, the corruption and bannishment of her beloved sister, and "possibly" the death of her lover. And then burn everything that made the Redtails went so out of control.
This. Is. Just. Epic.

If there are mares in Legions already, armed force is already not gendered. But as we can see in Roman and Medieval ages, women were not soldiers. And if somebody decides to recruit everyone, they still will get militia at most.
Again, if the weapon is unknown, there is no defense against it at first use. And even one use can change the way battle goes, like redtail magic powder devastated Equestrian aerial forces in battle for Quillyyn Keep. Sometimes, one time is enough. Yes, ponies will adapt, given time. But what if there is not enough time?
Maybe they are, maybe they are not. Still, they are not in. And by time somebody decides to help, it might be too late. Or they may ask something in return for help, who knows. So right now Equestrians can only depend on themselves.
She won't raze deer homeland most probably, that's not in her nature. But their army has to be defeated for sure. Then - several possibilities occur. Maybe she will make a vassal government, or puppet one, or a protectorate if she wins. Definitely with dismantling 9th Arcana or whoever is responsible for human experiments. Considering the reason for war - it is idée fixe of Empress Elinwynn, so execute her for war crimes.
This story is still one of the only ones I've read with battle scenes that actually interest me and I enjoy reading. Incredible stuff, truly.
Well, that went much better than I expected.
Hopefully Gilias' report gets a few more gryphons to show up. "They're going to murder Equestria" should be a pretty powerful motivator, especially when Equestria's replacement would be someone like the redtail Empress.

Except that we've already seen Equestria scrambling for forces. We've already seen Equestria admitting it will be a tough fight because they're generally outnumbered. And we just saw the Equestrians finding out that the redtail have thousands more than the Equestrians thought.
The Equestrians only have so many trained ponies, and only so much time to train more. They're going to need either a lot more troops or some damned good luck in battle. Only one of those things can be planned on.
If i was not lazy,... this battle is so well described that i might have made a animation for it.
The best!
Eat a mean dick Corvalix! Hopefully Gilias can convince the Empire to lend some aid. Man, this is soooo goood!
The Empire better damn well come for some good old glorious combat.
Nuuuuu gilias....i liked her....
