An entire parallel universe where a nation called the Saderran Empire from the lands beyond the Gate fought a nation that is very advanced than them (This is my first fanfic. Please go easy on the comments)

The young boy yells as the troops fire their muskets at this other-worldly enemy
Saderran pov
They managed to gain a lot of ground, but then, barbarians with long staves arrived in a long line and fired some sort of magic attack at them.
Centurion: Shield wall!
The soldiers obey the command and form a shield wall, but the ones who hold the formation tightly fall dead
Soldier: What the?! Soldier 2: Our shields didn't stop the attack!! Soldier 3: They're coming at us!
Eldian pov
Nate: Tear them a new one, lads!
The garrison charge with bayonets, further causing disruption in the enemy's command structure. Causing the fight to be a free-for-all instead of an organized battle.
Saderran pov
As soon as the barbarians destroyed and disrupted their communications, they charged as the spiked end of their staves pierce through the weak spots within the armor
Soldier: Fucking savages! Centurion: Hold your ground! Stay firm and show them that we bring order and--
Before the Centurion finished, a lone barbarian managed to kill him from afar, causing the legion to panic and fall into disarray
Four hours in...
Fort Eren, normally, it's just a regular fort in case of war. Now, it's become a sanctuary for the Eldians as they hide within the fortifications as Nate and the garrison monitor the enemy movements
Nate: How many are we facing? Garrison soldier: Over 500,000. Mostly infantry and cavalry, they even have aerial units. Like us. Nate:*Groans* Just our day... Garrison Soldier: Will your father arrive? Nate: He will. We just need to buy more time...
Hearing this, the garrison soldiers aim their muskets and cannons from the fort to face the enemy.
Meanwhile...
The Saderrans continue to make their way to the fort unopposed. Unaware that their adversary is stronger both numerically and technologically as they start a seige, their catapults lobbing boulders as the monsters who are bulky enough to load them prepare another barrage.
Imperial Commander: What's taking so long?!
He asks in an annoyed tone
Soldier: Our battering rams are being destroyed when we tried getting close to the gates... we could have a lengthy seige..
Imperial Commander: Whatever, just--
Suddenly, loud whistles are heard
Archer: What's that sound? Archer 2: Can't be anything serious
He says before proved wrong as a cannonball struck the catapults and the legionarries, causing them to scream in fear and panic.
Soldier: My legs!!!! Soldier 2: AAAAGGHH, I can't feel my legs!! Centurion: What in Emroy!?
Eldian pov
Nate: Father!
He yells excitedly as the garrison and the citizens cheer the arrival of the Imperial Survey Corps. Led by Nate's father, Satoshi Ackerman
Satoshi:*Exhales* These other worlders think they can just come to our home, massacre our people, raid our lands, and enslave them as they see fit on OUR FESTIVAL THAT HONORS THE FALLEN ANGEL HIMSELF?!
He yells in frustration as the soldiers behind him equip bayonets
Satoshi: Show then how it feels to get stuck between the teeth of the Eldian Wolf, CHARGE!

The soldiers bellow a deafening warcry as they decimate the enemy formations in a slow yet menacing march
Saderran pov
As if things couldn't get any worse, the barbarian reinforcements arrived and are destroying the formations
Imperial Commander: WHAT THE HELL?! Soldier: We can't get our wounded back to safety! Soldier 2: They're angry!!! Soldier 3: Hardy! Have you forsaken us, Hardy!
The soldiers can't believe it. Saderra's history has been filled with thousands upon millions of victories in wars they partook in and won. Yet, these barbarians are... winning and they're forcing them back through the Gate!
Imperial Commander: Everyone, retreat to the Gate!
Hours after the initial attack...
Satoshi:*Panting* That... is just the beginning... Bastards... Nate: Father! Satoshi: Nate...?
Nate rushes to his side
Nate: I helped in the defense. We got hit pretty badly... Satoshi: ... Send the wounded to recover. I'll have a chat with what we captured
