Landia is still appear to use black powder or smokeless explosives though. It's not certain how strong the average full-plate armor is. Magically enhanced attacks can destroy boulders with throwing knives and make large holes on ogres so if the armor is built to defend against those type of attacks then rifles wouldn't make that much of a difference unless then can shoot through exposed areas. Using rifling and shock absorbers to increase the accuracy of larger cannons and fire explosive/incendiary shells would at least cause the formation to break and doesn't need to research and develop many complex technologies
