Chapter 486: The Future Planning

Kant followed the mage and entered a room in the cabin.

After entering the room, the mage carefully closed the door and added a layer of soundproof effect to the room.

This room was located in the depths of the cabin and had no windows.

Other than one side of the aisle, there were other rooms on the other three sides. There were also other rooms on the opposite side of the aisle.

It could be said that this room was almost the most central room in the cabin. With the other rooms blocking it, no sound would leak out from this room.

This room was a place Kant used to communicate with his subordinates remotely. It had been specially modified, and the sound insulation effect was very outstanding.

The room was surrounded by double-layered wooden walls. There were some luxurious decorations hanging on the walls. These were all items looted from the headquarters of the Crimson Sect in the Mountain of Death. Not only was this room decorated like this, the rest of the rooms on the trireme had been meticulously decorated.

When Kant appointed this trireme as his temporary residence on the way, Baheshtur had thoughtfully arranged everything on the ship for him.

As a lord, Kant only needed to enjoy the service of his subordinates. He did not need to personally work.

The floor of the room was covered with a thick layer of velvet carpet. Not only was it very comfortable to step on it, but it also greatly enhanced the soundproofing effect of the room. Even if someone sneaked under the trireme or stuck their ears to the flat bottom of the ship, they would definitely not be able to hear a single sound in the room.

In the middle of the room, there was a long table made of solid wood.

A scroll made of the leather of the savaged demonized creatures was spread out on the long table. The scroll was carved with mithril powder with intricate and complicated magic array patterns. At this moment, these magic array patterns were shimmering.

Above the scroll, about thirty centimeters away, a transparent crystal ball was floating quietly.

These magical tools were able to transmit sound across long distances. They were also from the headquarters of the Crimson Sect and had been modified by the mages from the Enfath Empire, the sound would definitely not be intercepted by the mages of this world.

After the mage closed the door, he respectfully helped Kant pull the chair out from under the solid wooden table. The chair was also covered with a layer of luxurious velvet.

"Lord Kant, please sit!"

The mage slightly bowed to Kant and made an inviting gesture, respectfully inviting Kant to take a seat.

"Okay!" Kant responded and sat down appropriately.

The mage stood beside Kant and began to chant a spell in a low voice.

After the incantation was finished, the crystal ball floating in the air emitted a thin red light and began to slowly rotate on its own.

At the same time, Rolf's desert bandits were stationed in an abandoned farm in the South County. Hundreds of desert bandits were sent out to patrol within 20 kilometers of the camp day and night, they searched for any suspicious people.

Rolf arranged dozens of desert bandits to guard around a tent in the camp and closely monitor the surroundings.

In the middle of that tent, there was a clean piece of linen on the ground. There was also a set of rolled-up scrolls and crystal balls on the linen.

Unlike the spell casters chanted, the crystal ball in the tent was held by a Sarleon Lion Knight. A bright red extraordinary power circulated in the Lion Knight's hand and was transmitted into the crystal ball.

The moment the crystal ball above the table in front of Kant rotated, the crystal ball held by the Lion Knight suddenly emitted a faint red glow.

Seeing this, a trace of joy appeared on Rolf's face. This meant that the crystal ball in front of him had been connected to the crystal ball on the trireme where the honorable Lord Kant was.

At this moment, Rolf and the Lion Knight in the tent heard a voice coming from the crystal ball.

"Lord, this crystal ball has already connected with the one that Mr. Rolf has kept. Now you can talk to Mr. Rolf!"

The mage's voice was very respectful and solemn. Rolf could imagine that the respected Lord Kant was currently near the other crystal ball.

Sure enough, not long after, the respected Lord Kant's calm and gentle voice came from the crystal ball.

"Rolf, I heard that you have something to discuss with me?"

It could be heard that Lord Kant was in a good mood.

Rolf organized his words and said respectfully, "My lord, it is my honor to be able to hear your voice from a thousand miles away!"

"I am also very happy to hear your voice, Rolf! Tell me, what is it?"

Rolf's voice carried a hint of pride, he reported loudly, "Lord, with my trap, we completely annihilated the five knight corps of the Southern County's noble alliance army. There was a total of 5,000 knights, of which 500 were official knights and 4,500 were knight attendants. At the same time, we also heavily injured the despicable rebel army that wreaked havoc in the South County. My troop did not suffer any damage!"

"Well done, Rolf!" His highness Kant's joyful voice was transmitted from the crystal.

Rolf's face revealed an excited and joyful expression. The praise from his highness Kant was undoubtedly the most beautiful words in the world to Rolf. It was after he joined his highness Kant and became his subordinate, it had always been his heartfelt pursuit.

This was the best praise for Rolf.

Rolf calmed his emotions, the, he reported to Kant, "Lord, there are only 15 knight corps left in the noble alliance army of South County who are confronting Firentis at the front line of South County. After discussing with Firentis, I have decided that the time for the decisive battle has come!"

"Oh? The heavy cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo has always been elite. They have an invincible reputation among the human countries. Why do you think that the time for the decisive battle has come?" Kant's voice came from the crystal ball. His tone was very relaxed. Obviously, this was a test for Rolf.

Rolf thought carefully, he replied, "Lord, we have already heard about the erosion of the Silver Platter Kingdom. At this time, the Silver Platter Kingdom has already fallen into chaos. As time goes by, the pressure on the defense line on the south bank of the Reniston River will become less and less."

After a pause, Rolf continued, "After a period of time, the Grand Duke of Leo may directly transfer a portion of his elite troops from the defense line on the south bank of the Reniston River to quickly wipe out the uprising army of the South County. Then, he will gather with the noble alliance army who are currently stationed in the front lines of the North County and South County."

Chapter 487: New Main Quest

"Your analysis is very reasonable."

Kant's voice sounded, but there wasn't the slightest bit of nervousness. It was clear that his highness Kant had a clear understanding of the current situation.

He had even predicted the current situation before he set off.

However, his highness Kant's tone was clearly waiting for him to continue his analysis.

Rolf's tone was a little serious, he continued, "If the rebellion army is really wiped out by Duke of Leo's subordinates and then sent reinforcements to the front lines of the South County, the top nobles of the South County, who are still wavering on the sidelines, will send out their true strength and completely stand on Duke of Leo's side."

"Of course, the nobles usually like to place heavy bets after the situation is clear! So, do you have any specific plans?"

His highness Kant agreed with his point of view and threw another question at him.

Rolf felt that if he and Firentis had not seen through the current situation of the war and taken the initiative to ask His highness Kant for a decisive battle, His highness Kant would have also given them the order to launch the decisive battle.

It must be known that his highness Kant had already set off, following the Resniston River and heading downstream towards Lionheart City in the east.

After hearing his highness Kant's question, Rolf's eyes lit up, and he narrated the decisive battle plan that he and Firentis had discussed to Kant.

On Resniston River, on the trireme that were moving along the river at a steady pace, in the room that was specially used to communicate with the various departments that had an outstanding sound insulation effect. After listening to Rolf's statement, Kant thought for a moment.

He could tell that Rolf was the main source of this plan, and Firentis added some practical suggestions.

That was because this plan was too self-serving, and Firentis would never propose such a plan.

This was the plan.

First, they used the alliance agreement with the South County rebellion army to lure them to the battlefield, which was the border between the North County and South County.

Next, they pretended to negotiate with the South County noble alliance army, using the destruction of the five knight corps to incite the anger and hatred of the South County noble alliance army, luring them to attack the South County rebellion army.

After reaching this step, they used a vicious tactic.

They used the North County noble alliance army that had completely infiltrated the East County to force the East County to send out reinforcement. While the South County destroyed the rebellion army, Kant's troops would directly attack them together with the rebellion army, they would form a pincer attack on the South County.

After destroying the alliance army of the South County, the rebellion army would suffer heavy losses.

After obtaining victory, they would take over half of the South County and face off with Cameron's Lion Fort in the South County.

After that, he slowly plotted.

After listening to this plan for the decisive battle, Kant could not help but sigh at Rolf. Rolf really lived up to the title of villain noble.

His name of villain noble was formed by his naked villain behavior in the Continent of Caradia.

There was only a wrong name but no wrong nickname.

This sentence was very reasonable.

Throughout Rolf's entire plan, it was filled with deception, exploitation, threats, and betrayal.

Moreover, it seemed that because he had considered all aspects, it was highly feasible.

From Kant's point of view, if Rolf's ability to govern a town was not too bad, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself among the nobles and become a famous great noble.

This was because his characteristics were very compatible with the noble's true nature under the mask of hypocrisy and nobility.

If not for the system's involvement, Kant would definitely have agreed to Rolf's plan.

After Rolf finished describing the plan for the decisive battle of the South County, the system gave Kant a quest.

[ Ding… Main Quest released ]

[ Main Quest: The beginning of becoming emperor, the beginning of conquest ]

[ Reward: 1000,000 denars, 100,000 reputation, 100 honor ]

[ Introduction: After the arduous development, you have finally accumulated enough strength to take the first step of conquering the world. Please conquer the Dukedom of Leo and become the only ruler of the Dukedom of Leo. The path of the emperor begins with conquest. Only a throne made of blood and bones can be stable. ]

When Kant accepted this mission, his originally hazy ambition suddenly became concrete.

Conquer the world!

Become the Supreme Emperor!

Trample all the humans, alien races, gods, demons, and even other forces that he had yet to understand under his feet.

The system's words were never vague. This mission was clearly stated. Conquering the Dukedom of Leo was only the first step to conquering the world.

It was conquering the world, not just the human kingdoms.

This world had many forces.

There were ten human kingdoms alone, and dozens of human dukedoms.

There were also countless foreign races that occupied every corner of this world.

As well as the ancient gods and abyssal demons that seemed to be gradually returning.

His current forces were just beginning to form. Compared to this huge world, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were tiny and weal.

However, Kant had confidence and ambition. He would definitely step into the peak of this world.

Because he had the system!

This meant that countless worlds were standing behind him, becoming his strength and foundation.

The raging flames of ambition were burning in the depths of Kant's amber-like eyes.

Kant stood still for a moment before calming the flames of ambition.

No matter how big his ambition was, he needed to achieve it step by step.

Now, his first goal was to conquer the Dukedom of Leo.

According to Rolf's plan, although he could succeed, he did not think about the long-term future.

Repeated betrayals and deception would leave a bad reputation for the other noble families.

If Kant had a bad reputation, he would not be like now. If he were to face a similar situation in the future, he would not be cowed by the North County and show his strength, the East County would not be on his side either.

This had a lot to do with Kant's strength and power, but it also had to do with Kant's not too bad reputation.

A bad reputation would affect the noble's choices, making them consider whether the benefits they deserved after they supported Kant's success would be guaranteed.

Kant's behavior in the outside world followed the rules of the noble's way of doing things. Interests came first, and at the same time, he cared about his reputation.

For example, even though Kant had completely controlled the Stone Pass, he still kept Baron Dylan, so that Baron Dylan could still enjoy the title of lord of the Stone Pass in name. This was the embodiment of Kant acting according to the rules of the noble.

Chapter 488: The New Alliance with Rebellion Army

Kant had never thought of standing on the opposite side of the noble class. He was a noble himself, a person who had a vested interest in this class.

No matter how despicable a noble was under the table, they had to maintain their reputation and dignity on the surface.

This would help Kant subdue the other noble families.

Therefore, in this decisive battle, Kant rejected Rolf's plan.

To conquer the world, it was not enough to rely solely on the heroes and soldiers of the world.

Even if Kant could recruit a sufficient number of heroes and soldiers, he could not afford the huge military expenses.

This was because the military expenses of the world's army could only be paid in denar and could not be paid in the common currency of this world — small silver coins and great silver coins.

However, the only things that could be exchanged for denar were magic items and golden eagles in this world. These precious items were limited and would not be returned after being circulated through the trade caravan to the worlds of "Mount and Blade". In this world, these items had indeed disappeared, using up little by little.

At present, Kant's power was still very weak compared to this world. Therefore, the golden eagles and magic items he obtained from this world could barely support his army with the denar he exchanged.

When his forces became stronger in the future, the military expenditure would undoubtedly increase greatly. This meant that the consumption of magic items and golden eagles in this world would increase rapidly. This would cause the number of magic items and golden eagles in this world to decrease crazily. In the end, the production would not be able to keep up with his consumption rate.

At that time, even if he earned a lot of great silver coins, there would be no place to exchange for golden eagles.

Kant himself could foresee such a thing.

Therefore, from now on, he had to make a choice.

With the army from the worlds of "Mount and Blade" as the core, and taking in the world's subordinates as support, they would conquer the world together.

This was different from his previous thoughts. Because Kant's ambition was hazy, he always thought that he had enough power to protect himself, simply relying on a certain number of "Mount and Blade" heroes and soldiers to protect himself and his territory was enough.

However, the system's main quest this time completely made Kant understand that his previous thoughts were too conservative. Just relying on the heroes and soldiers from the "Mount and Blade", it would be difficult for him to truly conquer this world.

With such a comprehensive consideration, Kant planned to take the commander of the rebellion army, Korod, for his own use.

If it was a pure serf rebellion, even Kant would resolutely put an end to it. However, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army this time was once a noble. Kant was able to re-establish him as an example.

The ten years of slavery experience of Korod, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, would force him to constantly desire to climb to a higher noble rank in order to soothe his dignity and honor. At the same time, he would use this opportunity to prevent other noble families from talking about him.

It was also because of his experience as a slave that he would not hesitate to kill other noble families.

To put it simply, Korod, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, was very suitable to be an executioner under Kant, and there was no room for rebellion. Because he was once a slave, it would make him stand on the natural opposite of other noble families. After Korod, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, was subdued by Kant, he could only rely on Kant.

Therefore, Kant said to Rolf on the other end of the crystal ball, "Rolf, your plan for the decisive battle is very good, but I can't agree to accept it!"

Rolf was very confused, but he didn't feel wronged. He asked, "Lord, why do you say that?"

At this moment, Rolf thought that since Kant didn't accept his plan, there must be a better plan.

After all, the decisive battle was inevitable!

"Rolf, this battle is very important. We must carry out a fair and just battle. We must defeat and destroy the enemy from the front. We must use the blood and corpses of the enemy to forge our own honor. We must let all the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo truly understand how powerful we are."

"Only in this way can we truly intimidate these noble families. In the future, when we subdue them, it will reduce a lot of trouble."

Rolf was a smart man. As soon as he heard Kant's words, he understood.

If they followed his plan to fight a decisive battle, although the price they would have to pay this time would be much lower, other noble families would think that the victory of this battle was only achieved through scheming. It did not mean that they were strong enough. Even if the other noble families submitted, it would only be on the surface. In fact, they would have thoughts that they should not have.

"Then, Lord, should I cancel the alliance with the rebellion army?"

In Rolf's opinion, based on Kant's strategic thinking, he could not continue digging a hole for the rebellion army. However, if that happened, the rebellion army might just sit on the sidelines and wait to reap the benefits.

Naturally, he would not be willing to do that. The battlefield was dangerous and unpredictable. He would not allow another army to hide at the side while they were fighting for their lives.

After breaking the alliance agreement, if the Rebellion Army dared to come near the battlefield, he would naturally think of a way. Even if he had to temporarily cooperate with the Southern County's noble alliance army, he would first get rid of the rebellion army.

Unexpectedly, his highness Kant's orders that were completely different from what he had expected came from the crystal ball.

"Rolf, Go and sign a new alliance agreement with the Rebellion army. Use the parchment paper that I gave you and cover it with the gold lion badge on a red background to write a new alliance agreement. The contents of the alliance agreement will not change. In addition to my promise, as long as the rebel army helps us achieve victory, after I become the new Grand Duke of Dukedom of Leo, I will make him a Baron."

Rolf did not understand, but he obeyed Kant's orders unconditionally.

"I will obey your orders, my Lord!"

Rolf's voice was filled with doubt and confusion.

Kant explained the situation appropriately. During the war, Rolf and Firentis needed to cooperate with the rebellion army. Naturally, Rolf could not be confused.

"Since Korod wants to become a noble, I promise to let him become a noble. With this guarantee, it is inevitable that he will join us. I plan to set Korod, the commander of the rebellion army as an example. In the future, if we encounter such a third party, Korod's existence will allow such a third party to join us between us and our enemies!"

Kant's calm and deep voice sounded, "The Dukedom of Leo is very small. Don't limit your vision to this place. We will have many, many enemies in the future."

Rolf understood immediately and said again, "Rolf will follow your orders, Lord!"

Chapter 489: Kant's Return

This time, there was no doubt in his voice. His words were sonorous and powerful.

Kant's voice continued to come from the crystal ball. "This is the general situation. Basically, you just need me to give you some pointers. The rest of the specific strategies will be formulated by Firentis and you. I will once again give orders to Firentis. With the decisive battle plan that he has specified as the main plan, you will provide the appropriate complement!"

Kant believed that in terms of pure military ability, both Firentis and Rolf were stronger than him. He did not need to overstep his authority and help them to specify the decisive battle plan. Moreover, he was not at the border between the North County and South County. It would be difficult to formulate a specific decisive battle plan.

Rolf replied, "Okay, I will cooperate with Firentis this time!"

Rolf understood that if he and Firentis were asked to come up with a new battle plan, according to Kant's request, his battle plan would definitely not be as good as Firentis's.

In terms of ability, he was confident that he would not be worse than Firentis, but with his personality, he did not like it, and it was not suitable for him to come up with a proper battle plan. On the contrary, Firentis was quite suitable to come up with such a battle plan.

"Then, this call ends here. Goodbye, Rolf!"

"Goodbye, my Lord, I am honored to listen to your suggestion!"

Two days passed, and it was a new week.

The army of the North County and the army of the East County had been broken up and reorganized. Firentis had assigned the Swadian Light Footmen and the Swadian Footmen to be sandwiched between them. Firstly, they were elites to lead the miscellaneous troops, and secondly, they were to supervise them.

In addition to the rules announced by Firentis,

According to the military merits, they would be conferred a title of nobility, land would be given according to the results of the battle, and they would receive a pension based on their performance before they died.

Such rules completely stimulated the soldiers' passion for war.

After a few short days of training, the entire infantry corps was brand new. There were 30,000 infantrymen, 3,000 heavy cavalries and 2,000 light cavalries.

Under the leadership of Firentis, they slowly set off from Maas Castle, heading to south. They heading to the Seria Castle, which was 50 miles away. There were 15,000 heavy cavalries from South County stationed there.

There were also 50 Swadian Royal Knights following behind Firentis.

Deep in South County, Rolf led 1,600 desert bandits and 30,000 soldiers led by Korod, the commander-in-chief of the uprising army, towards the border between North County and South County.

The decisive battle was coming.

The system once again made a financial calculation. Kant had already converted the 50 chariots that the headquarters of the Crimson Sect had plundered into denar.

Even if the financial expenditure this time was more than 800,000 denars, including the military expenditure of more than 700,000 denars, it was nothing to Kant.

After the calculation, Kant still had more than 3 million denars left. If it was during normal times, it would be enough to support him for one to two months.

However, this was a time of war. Kant was doing his best to send out violent troops, so the military expenditure would definitely be higher and higher. This 3 million denars perhaps could only last for three weeks.

Three weeks was not short.

However, if one did not think far ahead, there would definitely be immediate worries.

Due to the erosion of the situation in the South County, a large number of trade caravan were plundered and killed, causing more trade caravans to turn their backs on this trade route. This caused the salt mine business to be greatly impacted in the past few weeks.

Thousands of sacks of fine white salt were piled up in the middle of the posthouse in the Nahrin Desert. Although there were still some trade caravans that took a detour from the East County to the Dukedom of Leo, and then passed through the Mountain of Death to the North County, they managed to maintain a portion of the fine white salt profits.

But overall, the profits from the salt mine did not rise like they had expected. Instead, they were on the trend of shrinking.

The gold eagles that could be exchanged for denar from the weekly trading volume had decreased from 400,000 to over 200,000 denars.

This was a big problem.

At present, the salt mines were the main source of income for the Kant's denar, if he didn't count the fortune-making incidents such as the annihilation of the Crimson Sect.

From this, the war of the Dukedom of Leo had to end as soon as possible.

At least, the South County had to recover its stability so that the trade caravans of human countries could have a smoother trade route.

As long as the trade route was smoother, with the production capacity of the salt mines in the Nahrin Desert and the salt-making workshop in the Oasis Lookout, it would not be difficult for the salt mines to make millions of denars per week.

At this moment, on the Resniston River, 30 triremes were in the front and 120 sailboats were in the back.

Kant sat in the room that was specially used for office use in the cabin, carefully reading a biography of the god of war, Edmund.

In front of the desk made of high-quality wood, there was a bright silver table on each side. On each silver table, there were three high-quality honey waxes purchased from the Silver Platter Kingdom, lighting up the entire room very brightly. The floor was covered with a thick velvet carpet, and the wooden walls were hung with luxurious decorations. The entire room looked very luxurious.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Kant said.

A Swadian Royal Knight walked in.

The full-body plate armor was worn on his body, and it was polished to a smooth and shiny state. Even though it was covered with a linen coat, it was still shining under the candlelight, and there were exquisite patterns carved on it. It was so beautiful that it did not look like a knight who had been on the battlefield for a long time, it was a work of art meticulously crafted by an artist. It was the most perfect war art!

The three-meter-long heavy armor-piercing lance was held in one arm. The kite-shaped shield on the left arm was inlaid with fine steel. In the light blue cloak that fluttered behind him, the gilded knight sword was on the left side of his waist. There was also a slender spiked warhammer hanging on the right side.

"Lord, Lionheart City is already in sight!"

The Swadian Royal Knight said respectfully.

Kant closed the biography of the god of war, Edmund, and sighed softly, "Lionheart City, we've finally arrived!"

This sigh was filled with endless emotions.

A year ago, Kant brought thirty Swadian peasants with only twenty great silver coins on him, and left Lionheart city in extreme despair.

He was almost exiled.

Under the ridicule of all the nobles in the city, he set off on the road to his estate, the Nahrin Desert.

With only 20 cavalries escorting him, they only treated this as a mission and did not respect him at all.

Now, in just a short year's time, he had returned.

At this moment, he was so powerful that he was the true ruler of the Nahrin Desert and the ruler of half of the Dukedom of Leo. He was so powerful that he could easily contend with the entire Dukedom of Leo. His wealth could be said to be comparable to a country's wealth.

Kant came to the deck and looked at the majestic city in the distance. He had lived in this city for sixteen years. He looked at city with a deep thought, but it soon turned into a cold look.

Kant's original intention was to attack Lionheart City and cut off the economic lifeline of the Dukedom of Leo. At the same time, he would attack the real administrative center of the Dukedom of Leo — the Lion Fort — with the army led by Firentis and Rolf, who were attacking the city from the north and the south. It would create an encirclement of Lionheart City.

Chapter 490: Temporary New Castle

A few days ago.

In 50 miles south to the Maas Castle, Seria Castle had become an important pass of South County's noble alliance army to defend against Kant's forces and the North County's noble alliance army.

At that time, in the frontline of the South County and North County, the newly built Seria Castle had 20 cavalry legions. Each cavalry legion was made up of 1,000 heavy cavalry soldiers.

The 1,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of each cavalry legion were made up of 100 official knights and 900 knight attendants.

At the same time, the five cavalry legions formed a heavy cavalry legion led by a grand knight.

The 20 cavalry legions formed four heavy cavalry legions. Each heavy cavalry legion had 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers. Their strength was terrifying.

These cavalry legions all came from the elite private armies of the small and medium noble families in the South County. They were formed after the integration.

The small and medium noble families in the South County formed a temporary command group, and they were in charge of discussing and issuing orders.

Viscount Kemil had the highest noble title, and he sent the most troops. At the same time, he sent two grand knights into the cavalry legion. He had contributed the most to the noble alliance army in the South County. Naturally, he became the highest commander in the temporary command group.

In the beginning, when these small and medium-sized nobles in the South County received the order from Cameron, Duke of Leo, they intended to follow the orders behind the scenes and randomly send out some old, weak, and disabled soldiers to deal with the matter.

In their opinion, the invasion of the noble alliance army of North County led by Baron Kant's subordinates this time was just an internal struggle for the royal power. It had little to do with them.

As long as they just stood by and watched, no matter who won or lost in the end, they would still be noble families, and their benefits would not suffer any losses. They would just be changing the target of their pledge of allegiance.

After all, they were only small and medium-sized noble families. If they were to rashly participate in the battle for the royal power, it would be very easy for the entire family to fall into the battle of royalty.

For small and medium-sized noble families like them, this battle for the throne was a great opportunity. If they seized the opportunity to choose the right side and persevere until the end, it might allow the family to take a step forward. But this time, the direct battle between Baron Kant and Duke of Leo was too risky. It was better to preserve the current foundation and slowly develop it.

In the beginning, these small and medium-sized nobles in the South County all had such thoughts.

But when Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, made a promise that as long as these small and medium-sized noble families sent troops to wipe out the "Rebel army" of the North County, the entire North County would be divided up by them, these small and medium-sized noble families were instantly moved.

Although the North County was barren, its territory was very big.

In particular, the North County was adjacent to the Nahrin Desert and was only separated from the Nahrin Desert by the Senwaya Range.

Ever since the discovery of the salt mine in Baron Kant's Nahrin Desert, the barren North County was no longer a problem. As long as they occupied a piece of land in the North County and collected the trade caravan tax, it would be enough for them to earn a lot of money.

Took Baron Kant as an example. Ever since the discovery of the salt mine, in just a short year's time, he had developed enough strength to contend with the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron.

The benefits were too great!

Especially since Grand Duke Cameron did not require them to deal with Baron Kant. Baron Kant had already displayed a terrifying strength in the East County. This was also the reason why they were not willing to participate in the battle for the throne, this was because it was difficult for them to determine who was stronger, Baron Kant or Grand Duke Cameron.

With such conditions, the small and medium-sized noble families in the South County were even more willing.

However, dealing with the North County's noble alliance army and being able to share the extremely rich benefits after succeeding, these small and medium-sized noble families in the South County had reached a consensus after a short period of communication.

They sent out troops!

They sent out the elite private soldiers of their families to form an alliance army and ruthlessly destroy the North County's noble alliance army, which in their eyes had a weak combat strength.

Previously, the North County's noble alliance army had joined forces with the mercenaries to attack the Stone Pass, which made the South County's noble alliance army laughed for a long time.

Under such an ambitious military operation, they just ended up with riots, internal strife and killing each other!

In the end, they surrendered without fighting!

Such a humiliating North County's noble alliance army, how strong would they be? They were not scum troops, what troops were they?

Although the noble alliance army of North County was currently led by Baron Kant's subordinates, and there was also a part of Baron Kant's army, they knew that Baron Kant's main force was in the East County. Thus, they did not take the thousands of troops led by Firentis at the Stone Pass to heart.

The nobles in the South County gathered their troops and consolidated them, they divided into four five-thousand heavy cavalry legions, ready to conquer Maas Castle and beat up the noble alliance army of North County, who were so weak in their eyes.

However, the damn rebellion army of the South County, a bunch of lowly serfs, broke out in rebellion!

These rebellion army took advantage of the small and medium noble families of the South County to lead their elite troops out of the territory, heading north to the border of the North County and the South County. When they attacked the noble alliance army of the North County, these rebellion army crazily plundered their property and killed their people and subordinates. They seized the civilians in their territory, destroyed their farms and even their estates, and turned their homes into ruins.

All the small noble families in the South County were gone mad.

The rebellion army was stabbing them in the back, cutting off their foundations!

They could not tolerate this!

Even if they delayed the conquest of the North County for a while, they could not allow these lowly rebellion army to continue doing whatever they wanted!

They had to make these lowly serfs and bastards pay the price!

The temporary command group formed by the small noble families in the South County quickly came to a decision. In the end, Viscount Kemil Viscount made the decision and issued the order.

In Seria Castle, a heavy cavalry legion was sent out. They planned to use the fastest speed to crush those rebellion army bastards in the Southern County!

The South County noble families in Seria Castle continued to train the remaining three heavy cavalry legions while waiting for the triumphant return of the heavy cavalry legion that went down south to destroy the rebellion army.

However, two days later, bad news came.

When the news of the heavy cavalry legions being completely annihilated reached them, all the noble families of the South County were shocked and could not believe it.

Chapter 491: The Determination of the noble alliance army

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The five heavy cavalry legions had 500 official knights and 4,500 knight attendants. They were equipped with strong and excellent warhorses as well as standard cavalry armor and weapons. Logically speaking, they could easily defeat a mere 20,000 rebel soldiers, the motley crew, who were still wearing tattered coarse linen clothes and holding dung forks, wooden spears, and wooden shields as weapons and defensive equipment.

In the end, they were able to wipe all rebel army out!

Such an outcome made the South County nobles of Seria Castle feel extremely incredulous. They even suspected that the soldiers who sent the news had been bribed by the North County noble alliance army or the South County rebellion army.

However, when the news came one after another, the South County noble of Seria Castle had no choice but to accept this cruel reality, even if they did not believe it.

When the remaining three heavy cavalry legions heard the news, the soldiers were all terrified. Rumors started to spread in the army, and the morale of the army quickly dropped.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and to find out the truth of the matter, the noble families of the South County quickly sent out elite squads to investigate the cause of the destruction of the five knight corps.

In the end, the elite squads found clues in the two abandoned farms. Although the bodies had been burned, there were still traces of battle left on the scene, the elite squads concluded that the five knight corps had been ambushed after they set up camp in the first abandoned farm, resulting in their failure.

After they broke out of the encirclement exhausted, the second abandoned farm was ambushed again, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

The nobles in Seria Castle received the investigation report and cursed the Southern County rebellion army and the Northern County noble alliance army for being despicable.

At the same time, Viscount Kemil personally came out to comfort the remaining three heavy cavalry legions.

"My knights! I think you've heard the sad news. The fourth heavy cavalry legion has been wiped out!"

Viscount Kemil activated his extraordinary power as a grand knight, allowing his voice to reach the ears of all the 15,000 knights and knight attendants gathered in Seria Castle.

"However, do you know how they sacrificed themselves?"

Without any pause, Viscount Kemil even temporarily abandoned the reserved and calm demeanor of a noble. His expression was slightly distorted due to his anger. He activated his extraordinary power with all his might, causing his voice to explode to the maximum and raised this question, his voice was liked filling with raging fire of anger.

"Let me tell you, the knights of the fourth cavalry legion did not die on the glorious battlefield but died from a despicable sneak attack!"

Viscount Kemil paused for a moment this time. When all the knights and knight attendants focused their attention on him, and the desire for the truth surged out from their eyes, Viscount Kemil used a painful and resentful tone, as if he was complaining, he said the above words.

Following that, Viscount Kemil's voice became low, filled with sorrow and pain.

"The fourth cavalry legion, those kind and brave knights, in order to protect our homeland, stop the atrocity of the South County rebellion army as soon as possible. After chasing for a day and a night without rest, they finally caught up with the despicable bastards of the Southern County rebellion army!"

Viscount Kemil looked at the 15,000 knights and knight attendants who were listening quietly and said, "After chasing for a day and a night, our knights are naturally very tired, and our horses are also very tired. It was nighttime again. The knights planned to rest for a night and wait until the next morning to crush the b*stards of the rebellion army of South County! "Therefore, they chose a very hidden farm to set up camp and began to rest."

Viscount Kemil's sorrowful news immediately turned into a soaring anger, and he said loudly, "However, someone from the useless army of the North County found out about the farm where our knights were resting. Then, they colluded with the despicable rebellion army of the South County and shamelessly ambushed our knights while they were sleeping!"

"Our knights were originally brave and invincible heavy cavalries who could crush everything on the battlefield. However, they were completely surrounded by the 20,000-man rebellion army of the South County. Their warhorses were not with them, and they were killed by the despicable rebellion army before they could even put on their armor."

"Even so, our knights did not give up. After paying a terrible price, they successfully broke out of the encirclement."

"The knights who broke out of the encirclement were exhausted, but they still persevered and ran for more than ten miles, leaving those despicable rebels behind."

"However, the useless army of the North County, who had long been prepared, took advantage of the moment when the knights stopped and bandaging their wounds to launch another sneak attack on them!"

"You all already know the final result, my knights!"

Following that, Viscount Kemil's voice was full of anger as he continued to speak, "If it wasn't for the despicable army of the North County selling the news of our 4th cavalry legion to those b*stards of the South County rebellion army, and then ambushing the heavily injured knights of the fourth heavy cavalry legion, our knights would have already annihilated those b*stards of the South County rebellion army and be in the midst of a glorious victory!"

"My knights, do you think we should take revenge on the despicable army of the North County noble alliance army? Use their blood to wash away their sins and the humiliation suffered by the knights of the fourth legion?"

At the end of his words, Viscount Kemil roared. His face was flushed red, and he was very emotional.

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

Under the lead of the soldiers that the noble families of the South County had already arranged, 15,000 knights and knight attendants waved their right arms fiercely and shouted crazily and in unison.

With their hatred, the 15,000 knights and knight attendants who had already understood the 'truth' had their previous fear and uneasiness completely swept away, and their morale quickly rose.

Under the same hatred, the three heavy cavalry legions showed better coordination in the following training than before, and their combat strength greatly increased.

After finishing his speech, Viscount Kemil returned to the meeting hall where the command group formed by the noble families of the South County.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

Viscount Kemi walked to the front of the main seat covered with velvet cushions and sat down appropriately. He picked up the exquisite ceramic cup on the chairman's table made of expensive wood in front of him. He elegantly and slowly drank more than half of the cup of fresh goat's milk with a few pieces of date palm candy from the Oasis Lookout's Drondheim sugar workshop. Only then did he continue to preside over the meeting that was interrupted by the speech.

"Baron Harry Kendy, after the nobles in the command group have agreed, the verdict is that the commander of the fourth cavalry legion, Grand Knight Lake Kendy, whom you have recommended, has an unshirkable responsibility for the destruction of the fourth cavalry legion."

Viscount Kemil, as well as many nobles in the South County, all fixed their gazes on the third noble to the left of Viscount Kemil.

"After the nobles in the command group discussed, they finally decided that after the North County noble alliance army was victorious and the benefits were distributed, you need to take out half of your earnings and distribute it to Baron Tyr. Nunu, Baron Derek. Tate, Baron Ivan. Howard, and Sir Robin. Pullman, Sir Steve. Raglan. You are to compensate these five noble families for the loss of their family's private soldiers!"

Chapter 492: The Dirty Deeds

The military strength of the fourth cavalry legion came from Baron Harry. Kendy and the other five noble families that he had to compensate.

Baron Harry. Kendy looked awful. Not only did his family lose the most private army of his family, but they also lost a grand knight. In the end, they had to pay for the losses of the other five noble families. The fortune that they lost made him heartache just by thinking about it.

However, Baron Harry. Kendy finally nodded in agreement and accepted the ruling. He signed his name on the five compensation contracts that Viscount Kemil had handed over and stamped the badge of the Kemil family.

Under the witness of many noble families, Viscount Kemil handed the compensation contracts that Baron Harry. Kendy had signed over to the other five noble families one by one.

Baron Harry. Kendy did not hate the five noble families that needed compensation, but he was a little worried about the future of his family.

Perhaps the six of them would still form an alliance after the noble families of the South County had divided up the North County, because they had already lost most of their army. After the war was over and they had distributed the cake, they would soon be targeted by the other ally noble families. At that time, what awaited him and the other five noble families might be a series of conspiracies.

On the surface, the noble families would naturally maintain their proper dignity and gentlemanly behavior. However, in the dark, when faced with other noble families who did not have the ability to protect their own interests, they were even more vicious and greedy than tigers and wolves.

Everything was for the sake of interests.

This was the code of conduct between the noble families, and also the rule between the noble families.

After Viscount Kemil had completed the arbitration of Baron Harry. Kendy, they moved on to the next topic.

"Our losses in the South County are irreparable. It's too late to turn around and destroy those lowly rebels of the South County."

"The only way to make up for it is to go all out to defeat the North County noble alliance army, take over the land of the North County, occupy the homes of the noble families of the North County, and rebuild the foundation of our families. After we stabilize, we will join forces to attack the South County, and take back our destroyed homes from the hands of the rebellion army of the South County!"

Facing the sudden change, Viscount Kemil quickly thought of specific measures to deal with it, and he directly brought it up.

Actually, the noble families did not have any real idiots, or else they would have been eaten clean by the other noble families.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, all the noble members of the commanding group agreed to Viscount Kemil's suggestion.

After the next strategic direction was set, the noble families began to come up with ideas for the upcoming war.

The member of the commanding group who was responsible for the logistics of the army was a baron named Kozmo. Henry, the baron of the South County.

He was the first to speak, letting all the noble families of the South County understand the current dire situation.

"From the looks of it, the supplies in Seria Castle are only enough to support our troops for two weeks. "Ever since the rebellion army wiped out our 4th cavalry legion, they became even more vicious. The supplies sent from Lionheart City were all intercepted by them."

Baron Kozmo. Henry's voice paused for a moment, then, he continued, "Count Rowan. Reese sent a grand knight to deliver the news. Unless we give them 30% of the North County's estate, only will they send the elite Lionheart City garrison to escort the supplies. Otherwise, in order to prevent the supplies from being intercepted by the South County rebellion army, they will stop supplying us! Now, you can discuss this matter and make a final decision."

Although Baron Kozmo. Henry said so, he already had an answer in his heart.

It was related to their own interests. There was no doubt as to what these small noble families in the South County would choose.

Sure enough, after a short and intense discussion, all the members of the command group said that they could not give up the North County's estate, which they regarded as food on their plates.

This meant that the South County noble alliance army in Seria Castle had to capture Maas Castle within two weeks.

Lionheart City was the most prosperous city in the entire Dukedom of Leo. It was controlled by the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, and the four counts of the South County. These four counts were all top-notch noble families in the Dukedom of Leo, and their strength was abnormally strong. The history of their family was even longer than that of the Dukedom of Leo.

Count Rowan. Reese was one of them.

The four counts were also top-notch nobles in the Dukedom of Leo. There were also two viscounts in the South County. Their main strength was placed in their own manors. They had once wanted to get their hands on Lionheart City but were refuted by the four counts at the same time.

The two viscounts who had reached the top-notch noble's strength were only slightly weaker than the four counts. If they were allowed to extend their hands into Lionheart City, the four counts were worried that the two viscount's strength would soon catch up to them.

The Dukedom of Leo was only so big, but the total amount of benefits was limited. If the two viscounts got more, the four counts would get less.

As for the four counts, to be able to split the benefits of Lionheart City with the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, one could imagine how powerful they were.

Whether it was the four counts or the two viscounts who were qualified to become the top-tier noble of the Dukedom of Leo, their strength was only slightly inferior to that of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron.

This was due to the invasion of the Dukedom of Leo by the Silver Platter Kingdom ten years ago. That battle had caused the strength of the Cameron, Grand Duke of Leo's family to be greatly reduced. In addition to that, the invasion of the Jackalans in the Nahrin Desert had been pacified. Once again, it had weakened the strength of the Cameron, Duke of Leo's family.

In the two wars, the family that had contributed the most had always been the Cameron, Grand Duke of Leo's family.

If not for the sect of the God of War, Edmund, who supported the Cameron's family, the current Cameron would have lost the right to command the six top-tier noble families in the South County.

Cameron still retained the right to command the six top-tier noble families in the South County. On the surface, the six top-tier noble families were loyal to him, but in reality, Grand Duke Cameron could no longer command the six top noble families of South County. It was a far cry from when the Cameron's family was at their peak ten years ago.

This time, to resist the alliance army of North County, the Grand Duke of Leo had initially given orders to the six top noble families of South County, but the six top noble families claimed that their family's army needed to be stationed in Lionheart City and could not be transferred. It seemed to be tactful, but in fact, it was a blatant rejection of Grand Duke Cameron's order.

Chapter 493: The Intensified Forntline

Not to mention Lionheart City, even their manors and castles had a large number of elite private armies.

They could not wait to see Duke of Leo, Cameron, and his second son, Baron of Leo, fight to the death. Perhaps in the end, they would secretly make a move and let the father and son "perish together.".

They did not wish for the family of the Duke of Leo, Cameron, who had gradually begun to decline, to become strong again.

In the end, under the pressure of the Duke of Leo, Cameron, the four counts and the two viscounts only agreed to provide supplies to the troops that were going up north to resist the invasion of the North County noble alliance army. This supply was sent from Lionheart City, the other two viscounts who did not have any influence in Lionheart City had to pay the four counts the corresponding amount of money.

The four counts and the two viscounts, the ultimate goal of the six top-tier noble families of the South County, was only to hope that Cameron, the Grand Duke of Leo, would be able to properly exhaust his strength with his second son, Baron Kant.

Cameron was able to rise up in the war and repel the invasion of the Silver Platter Kingdom when the previous Grand Duke of Leo died. Naturally, he was not an easy person to deal with, naturally, he easily saw through the plans of the six top-tier noble families in the South County, and immediately came up with a corresponding countermeasure.

It was also because of this countermeasure of Cameron that many small and medium-sized noble families in the south county gathered at Seria Castle.

To Cameron, the North County was not under his true control. Promising it to the small and medium-sized noble families in the South County was just going with the flow. He did not suffer any real losses.

It is also because of this, as the top noble of South County, Count Rowan. Reese would send out his grand knight to inform the many small noble families of the South County who were now stationed at Fort Celia that they are not going to give supplies!

With the help of the rebellion army, it gave six of the top noble families an excuse to stop supporting the supply of the noble alliance army.

They even proposed a condition that they could answer with their butts. This was naturally to deal with the possible anger of Cameron.

"You see, it's not that we don't continue to provide them with supplies, it's that they said they didn't want it!"

The lines were already prepared.

The shamelessness of the noble families was always hidden under such a suitable excuse. The six top noble families of South County were very good at this.

In fact, they wished that the small and medium-sized noble families of South County would fail, and it would be best if all of them died.

This way, Baron Kant's troops could smoothly go south and force Cameron's Lion Fort.

In addition, they could secretly take over the small and medium-sized noble families' estate in South County. The estate of South County was truly fertile. Otherwise, South County was smaller than North County and East County, so how could it support so many powerful noble families.

Although the small noble families' estate had been taken over by the rebellion army of the South County, the small soldiers of the rebellion army of the South County were nothing in the eyes of the six top noble families of the South County.

In the meeting hall of the command group in Seria Castle, the noble families heard Baron Kozmo. Henry's words made the atmosphere even more serious.

"We need to end this quickly!"

Immediately, a noble member of the command group spoke up.

"That's right. Even if we only have three heavy cavalry legions left, crushing the North County alliance army is extremely simple!"

None of the members of the command group had any doubts that they could easily defeat the North County noble alliance army.

What they were worried about was that the North County noble alliance army was hiding in Maas Castle, defending the castle and refusing to fight them directly.

That was exactly what they wanted to discuss.

Because their army, 15,000 soldiers, were all heavy cavalries.

After all, the heavy cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo dominated all the human countries, and all the noble of the Dukedom of Leo were proud of it. Their elite private soldiers were naturally forged into heavy cavalry. In the vast plains of the South County, the power of the heavy cavalry could also be displayed to its fullest.

However, it was not an easy task for the heavy cavalry to attack the city. This meant that they had to give up their advantage. At least, before they broke through the castle gates, their soldiers had to turn into infantrymen.

This would undoubtedly cause great casualties, and it would far exceed the losses they would suffer if they used the heavy cavalry to charge and destroy the other legions.

These three heavy cavalry legions were gathered by the members of these command group, the noble families of the South County. Naturally, they did not wish for them to suffer too many losses.

If there was sufficient time, they could also create a large number of siege weapons to reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

However, due to the limited supply, they only had two weeks left. If they could not take down Maas Castle, which was 50 miles to the north, in two weeks, in order not to starve to death. They estimated that they could only turn into bandits and rob the manors of other noble families in the South County who were not on the same side as them.

Because at that time, the grand knight sent by Count Rowan. Reese had long returned to Lionheart City with the news that they had rejected Cameron's order. They could not get support from Lionheart City even if they wanted to.

The noble families in the command group were at their wit's end. They frowned and thought hard about countermeasures.

Most importantly, they didn't want to lose too many soldiers.

Otherwise, they believed that they would be able to obtain victory even if they forcefully pushed Maas Castle.

At this moment, the door of the command group's meeting room was knocked rapidly.

This caused the members of the command group and the noble members of the South County unhappy.

In the past few days, bad news came one after another. The current situation was already very grim. So many of them had yet to come up with an effective method to attack the castle. They could pay the smallest price to capture Maas Castle.

The members of the command group knew very well that this was another big piece of bad news.

Viscount Kemil elegantly picked up the exquisite pottery cup on the chairman's table made of expensive wood. He slowly took a sip of fresh goat's milk and put in a few pieces made of date palm from Oasis Lookout's sugar workshop, only then did he speak.

"Sir Jimmy Walters, please open the door and let our knights in."

As soon as Viscount Kemil's words fell, all the depressed expressions on the faces of the noble turned into a relaxed and casual gentleman's appearance.

Sir Jimmy. Walters sat on the last seat on the right-hand side of Viscount Kemil. Among all the noble members of the command group present, he was the weakest. Even Baron Harry. Kendy and the other five noble members who had suffered heavy losses were far stronger than him.

At the same time, Sir Jimmy Walters was also the closest to the gate.

The status of the noble was measured by their strength. Even if it was a knight, as long as he was strong enough, even the count would show him humility.

Sir Jimmy Walters naturally understood this principle. Among the many noble families present, he was the weakest. Naturally, he should be the one to open the door.

He could not let other noble families who were stronger than him do this, right?

Sir Jimmy Walters opened the door of the meeting room. A knight attendant who was terrified completely forgot the etiquette of saluting and greeting the noble families first. He directly rushed in, in his panic, he shouted without thinking.

"Not good! Not good!"

"After the North County noble alliance army set off from Maas Castle, they are approaching our Seria Castle!"

"There are too many enemies, much more than us!"

This knight attendant was responsible for scouting around Maas Castle. As soon as he saw Firentis leading many armies from Maas Castle towards Seria Castle, he immediately rushed back on horseback. Because he was in a state of panic, he even forgot to return to his troop and report this news to his captain first.

Chapter 494: The Coming Confrontation

The reckless soldier, the terrified expression, the panicked words.

Originally, such a soldier was a very misbehave guy in the eyes of the elegant and decent noble.

But at this moment, in the eyes of all the members of the command group of Seria Castle, this soldier was really adorable.

Listen to him!

Listen to what this soldier said?

The North County noble alliance army, which had been hiding in the turtle shell of Maas Castle like a bunch of cowards, had actually emerged from that turtle shell.

This was really wonderful news.

A minute ago, all the nobles were racking their brains to think of a way to break this turtle shell!

Viscount Kemil said, "Calm down, our Sir Knight!"

After the soldier vented out the panic and fear in his heart, he received Viscount Kemil's reminder. He hurriedly suppressed the remaining panic in his heart and put on a calm appearance.

He realized at this time that his actions had violated the army's rules. He did not know what kind of punishment he would receive.

Viscount Kemil smiled and said, "Sir Knight, the information you provided was timely. You have rendered meritorious service! Report the name of your knight troop and the captain of your squad, as well as your own name. Sir Oscar. Norton will record your meritorious service!"

When this soldier who was still worried about his future heard the words of Viscount Kemil, the remaining panic in his heart was swept away. He was extremely excited.

He had actually made a meritorious deed!

His excited voice trembled slightly as he said, "My lord, I am the thirteenth member of the thirteenth squad of the thirteenth knight troop. My captain is Sir Justin. Grott. My name is Philip Francis."

It could be seen that this soldier named Philip Francis was a person who easily got excited.

Sir Oscar. Norton used a quill pen to record the information and contributions of this soldier on a sheepskin scroll. Then he nodded to Viscount Kemil.

Viscount Kemil said, "Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen. It surprisingly easy to remember! Alright, Mr. Knight! Sir Oscar. Norton has already recorded the contributions for you. Now, please return to the troop. We will soon make a corresponding battle plan based on the information you provided!"

After soldier Philip. Francis left, Sir Jimmy. Walters closed the door of the meeting room again.

In the meeting room, the South County leaders who were originally calm and collected finally showed their joy without any scruples. The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became relaxed and happy.

"This is great!"

"Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, this soldier is really not bad!"

"The North County's noble families are just a bunch of idiots!"

Viscount Kemil clapped his hands, signaling for the noble families to quiet down.

He then said, "Gentlemen, since the North County noble alliance army has already come out of the turtle shell of Maas Castle, I think it's time for us to let them see the power of our three heavy cavalry legions."

Viscount Kemil paused for a moment and then said, "I propose that we immediately send out troops to fight against the North County noble alliance army on the plain between the two castles!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The noble families of the South County quickly reached an agreement, and Viscount Kemil quickly signed the order to send out troops.

Then, Viscount Kemil picked up the exquisite ceramic cup on the chairman's table made of expensive wood and raised it to make a toast to the members of the command group, he said, "Gentlemen, let us celebrate the victory of this decisive battle in advance! To victory! Cheers!"

After finishing his words, Viscount Kemil took the lead to put in a few pieces of date palm sugar from Drondheim into the goat milk and drank it in one gulp.

"To victory!"

"To victory!"

Many of the nobles were also unusually relaxed and happy. They did not have the slightest doubt about the upcoming victory.

At the border between the North County and South County, on the plains between Maas Castle and Seria Castle, the 30,000-man troop led by Firentis were slowly moving toward Seria Castle.

The 5,000 cavalries did not follow the infantrymen to Seria Castle.

Firentis had completely carried out his highness Kant's will and treated this battlefield as his highness Kant's show of strength.

Spies from different forces gathered here and were not chased away or killed by the desert bandits led by Rolf.

Following his highness Kant's will, Firentis formulated a detailed battle plan.

It was to let the native people of this world watch a fair and just war feast.

A war show that Firentis had meticulously planned!

From the Continent of Caradia, this crazy and chaotic world of war, Firentis had such confidence.

There were three thousand heavy cavalries, made up of one thousand Swadian Knights and two thousand Swadian Heavy Cavalries.

Two thousand light cavalries were all Sarrandian Horsemen, a troop class that was between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

Five thousand cavalries were made up of four thousand level 4 troop class soldiers and one thousand level 5 troop class soldiers. With their powerful warhorse, exquisite armor, and excellent sharp weapons that far surpassed the standard of this world, this 5,000-man strong troop class of cavalries was abnormally terrifying.

Each level 4 troop class Swadian Heavy Cavalry and Sarrandian Horseman's strength was equivalent to the highest official knight in this world.

And the level 5 troop class, Swadian Knight, had already surpassed the strength of the official knights of this world which was between the strength of the top official knights and grand knights of this world It only took five Swadian Knights to be able to surround and kill a grand knight with extraordinary strength.

Such a powerful cavalry troop was much stronger than the 15,000 heavy cavalries in the Seria Castle.

Out of the 15,000-man heavy cavalry troop in the Seria Castle, there were only 1,500 official knights including 3 grand knights. The remaining 13,500 soldiers were all knight attendants.

Such an army was naturally very elite and powerful compared to the standards of this world. It was an extremely terrifying heavy cavalry troop.

The noble families of the South County were not fools. They would not think that they had the confidence to win for no reason.

Such 15,000 heavy cavalries in three heavy cavalry legions. In this world, if they were to charge, even an elite infantry formation of 100,000 people could be completely defeated under a few attacks. In the eyes of those South County nobles, the North County noble alliance army with 35,000 soldiers was pathetically weak.

Chapter 495: Brilliant Strategic Planning

The border between Maas Castle and Seria Castle was the most favorable plain for the cavalry to display their power. The nobles of the South County celebrated their victory in advance. It was not because they were too arrogant.

They could only blame themselves. They thought that their opponent was the alliance army of the North County, but they did not know that their real opponent was actually Baron Kant.

The army under Baron Kant could not be measured by the conventional military strength in this world.

They did not belong to this world but came from the worlds of "Mount and Blade". The combat strength of the ordinary army from those worlds was much stronger than that in this world.

As for Baron Kant, he upgraded his troops crazily. Any troop class that could be upgraded would be upgraded to level up.

Hence, the number of troops under him might only be equivalent to the number of a top-tier noble in the South County. However, with his terrifying strength, if he were to really fight against a top-tier noble in the South County, he would be able to perish them all.

Not to mention the 30,000 infantrymen, there were 2,000 level 4 troop class Swadian Footmen, as well as 3,000 level 3 troop class Swadian Light Footmen, who had disrupted the 25,000 allied forces in the North County and East County. It made the entire 30,000-man formation seem like a single entity, like a reef in the endless sea, no matter how strong the waves were, it would not budge.

Such a 30,000-man strong formation was not something that the 15,000 heavy cavalries of Seria Castle a could easily defeat.

Just the 5,000 heavy cavalries that belonged to Baron Kant, even if they were to clash head on with the 15,000 heavy cavalry of Seria Castle, they would not be able to do so on the plains between the North County and South County.

The 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers, as well as the noble from the South County, who were confident of victory, would be able to understand what "despair" truly was when they faced Kant's troop.

Unfortunately, Baron Kant's terrifying troops were either in the depths of the Nahrin Desert, which was blocked by the central posthouse, in the uninhabited Senwaya Range, or in the underground tunnels and underground temples. The battles that took place in these places had never been known to the outside world.

Their opponents had never been the regular armies of this world.

On the contrary, it was foreign armies like the Jackalan, whose physical qualities far surpassed that of humans, or even more bizarre undead armies. Even in the Senwaya Range, their opponents were demonized creatures and even more terrifying demons.

Even the battle that made Baron Kant famous in the entire Dukedom of Leo and confirmed that he was a noble with the strength of a top-tier noble took place in the Mountain of Death, the battle that wiped out the headquarters of the Crimson Sect.

The enemies in that battle could not be measured by the regular human armies. They were all half-demonized fanatics who had received the infusion of demon power and were not afraid of death. They were also powerful demon incarnations that were summoned by Viscount Gibran through countless blood sacrifices.

However, even in this battle, the various nobles of the Dukedom of Leo did not obtain any specific information.

They had only deduced that Baron Kant possessed extremely terrifying strength from the easy destruction of the Crimson Sect, a force that was comparable to top-tier noble families.

On the way back from the Crimson Sect's headquarters to his third castle, Sargoth, Baron Kant had led his troops to encounter water bandits. They were just a motley crew that had made a fool out of the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo, they were completely unable to reveal Baron Kant's true strength.

At the border between the North County and South County, there were many wandering soldiers.

These were spies from different forces. If they met people from opposing forces, they would even fight.

The reason why they were able to roam around the battlefield so calmly was because of Firentis's determination to carry out his highness Kant's will. It was because of this that these spies were able to watch the battle such comfortably. They did not have to hide in a hidden corner like rats and secretly spy.

The nobles and various human forces had a keen sense of smell. After Rolf gave up on killing all the suspicious people around the battlefield.

These spies from the nobles of the Dukedom of Leo or other forces, the nobles of the Silver Platter Kingdom or other forces, and even the noble of the human kingdoms and dukedom or other forces were like vultures smelling rotten meat, they were constantly gathering from all over the world.

At this moment, only a small portion of the spies near the battlefield were here.

More spies were still on the way. Using the fastest speed they could use, they recklessly rushed towards the battlefield.

After all, it had only been two days since Rolf gave up on killing them.

The reason why they were so crazy was because they had enough profit to drive them.

Table salt was produced in the depths of the Nahrin Desert. It was the whitest and most delicate table salt that humans had ever seen.

Sacks of table salt flowed out of the Nahrin Desert. Tens of thousands of golden eagles and great silver coins were gathering towards the posthouse in the center of the Nahrin Desert from all over the world.

Look at the profits.

The North County of the Dukedom of Leo had become prosperous just by collecting the taxes of salt merchants. If the North County was allowed to develop for another two years, it might be comparable to the South County before the uprising.

Took Baron Kant for example. It was precisely because he controlled the table salt production in the depths of the Nahrin Desert that in a short year, he had changed from the laughingstock of the entire Dukedom of Leo he used to be and turned into an unfathomable top-tier noble that recognized by all the noble families in the Dukedom of Leo.

In this world, the noble families and various major forces had never looked down on the power of money.

They attributed Baron Kant's strength to Baron Kant's wealth, which was so rich that any human force would be moved by it.

With money, one could develop a more powerful force.

A more powerful force would be able to seize a more abundant amount of money.

Money was the common pursuit of all forces, even their greatest pursuit.

No one knew how big the salt mines in the Nahrin Desert were, but from Baron Kant's increasing sales of refined white salt, it was obvious that they were astonishingly large.

The amount of wealth represented by such salt mines was enough to attract any force. Even if they knew that the chances were slim, they wouldn't mind testing it out.

The infantry formation led by Firentis moved to the middle area between Maas Castle and Seria Castle. They were separated by twenty-five miles from each of the two castles, and they didn't move forward anymore.

Instead, they set up their camp.

This camp was set up in a very orderly manner. When the real famous generals on the battlefield saw the well-organized camp of Firentis, they would understand that this army was definitely a tough nut to crack.

It would be very difficult to bite down on them easily.

Firentis had done it on purpose!

He was worried that the nobles of South County would be too stupid that they directly led the army to charge at the phalanx of infantrymen led by him without caring about anything else.

If that was the case, Firentis was confident that the 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers would be trapped in the formation of his 30,000 infantry soldiers and be devoured by them.

This could lead to victory, but such a victory was not what Firentis wanted.

There were 30,000 infantry soldiers.

There were 25,000 infantrymen came from the North County noble alliance army and the East County noble alliance army. There were only 5,000 infantrymen from his highness Kant.

If they were able to destroy 15,000 heavy cavalries from the South County, would Baron Kant or the North County noble alliance army or the East County noble alliance army be credited for destroying the enemy?

Firentis, who had carefully prepared the plan for the decisive battle, would not allow such a casual battle scene to appear.

This battle was a show.

Lord Kant's army acted as the main lead. The 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the South County who had been upgraded to their strongest status acted as the antagonists, while the North County and the East County's noble alliance army acted as the supporting roles.

Most importantly, the spies of most of the forces in the world acted as the audience.

Not a single one less!

This battle was Kant's first announcement to the world, revealing his true, hideous first battle. Firentis sought to shock and excite!

Chapter 496: Hiding Outside of Lionheart City

Near Lionheart City, in a quiet tributary of the Resniston River.

A trireme was leaning against another trireme.

Then, a thick wooden plank more than ten meters long and one meter wide extended from the side of one trireme and rested on the side of another trireme.

Baheshtur pressed lightly on the side of one trireme and flipped over, stepping on the plank and walking towards another trireme.

The two triremes swayed along with the waves, causing the wooden board to sway.

However, Baheshtur's footsteps were very steady. A mere jolt could not affect him in the slightest.

Baheshtur was a race on horseback — an elite that came from the Khergit Khanate.

As a nomadic thug, Baheshtur had always been living on horseback in the Continent of Caradia. The jolt on horseback was much more intense than the swaying of the wooden board.

This time, Baron Kant entrusted Baheshtur with full authority over the surprise attack on Lionheart City.

Although Baheshtur's reputation in Caradia was not a good one, it was not inferior to that of the wandering knight, Firentis or the scoundrel noble, Rolf.

He also had outstanding military talent.

This nomadic thug was a troublesome but troublesome and thorny figure wandering around Caradia.

Baheshtur was especially good at harassing tactics. He could spy around the target like a ghost. At the most unexpected moment of the target, he could launch a fatal attack from the weakest position of the target's defense.

Baheshtur was good at taking risks.

He was similar to Rolf.

But the difference was that Rolf was born in a noble family. He tended to think about benefits and liked to harm others for his own benefit.

On the other hand, Baheshtur was born in the grassland tribe of the Khergit Khanate. He had seen the struggles and annexations of the grassland tribes. He deeply understood that the winner would get everything, and the loser would lose everything.

Therefore, Baheshtur 's war plan was not based on temporary benefits. Instead, it was planned and arranged with the ultimate victory as the highest principle. For the sake of victory, Baheshtur could do anything.

He was not like Rolf who cared too much about preserving his own strength during the war. As long as he could obtain victory, a suitable sacrifice was necessary for him.

There was no war between tribes on the prairie that did not kill people.

In the Continent of Caradia, Baheshtur had always been an image of being irritable, cunning, and daring to take risks.

Baheshtur easily jumped onto the deck of another three-row warship.

The trireme he jumped onto was Baron Kant's ship.

Baheshtur had come to submit a war plan to Baron Kant, a war plan to launch a surprise attack on Lionheart City.

Reniston River was a prosperous river. There were many prosperous cities and towns on both sides of the river. On this river, there were also a large number of merchant ships.

However, due to the isolation of the political barrier between the South County and the East County, there was less traffic on the river. These few days, they met the merchant ships of the fleet led by Baheshtur. At this moment, they were all quietly sinking at the bottom of the deep Resniston River.

They could not leak the news of the surprise attack.

When they needed to pass by the prosperous towns on both sides of the river, Baheshtur would arrange for the ships to travel by day and night to avoid being detected by the guards in the towns.

At this moment, this fleet had already been hidden in a hidden branch of the river near Lionheart City for two days.

Baheshtur loved war, but he did not fight unprepared wars. If he faced an opponent that he knew nothing about, no matter how weak he looked, Baheshtur would rather flee far away first.

This was Baheshtur's way of doing things. On the Continent of Caradia, there were many hunters like Baheshtur, but many of them died.

Baheshtur was able to survive and make a great name for himself. This had something to do with his way of doing things.

Lionheart City was the largest city in the Dukedom of Leo. At the same time, it was also a prosperous trading city. There were no strict checks on the people who went in and out.

During these two days, Baheshtur sent out soldiers and easily infiltrated Lionheart City. He investigated the situation of the troops and the defense of Lionheart City.

After two days of investigating the troops of Lionheart City, Baheshtur had a relatively detailed understanding of the type of troops in Lionheart City, their strength, arrangement, and the rotation of the defense.

From the arrangement of the guards and the rotation of the guards, Baheshtur deduced that the four top-tier noble families of South County who controlled the guards of Lionheart City did not discover their surprise attack fleet. This was because Lionheart City did not have any large movements and arrangements to guard against them.

The docks of Lionheart City were still as prosperous as before. Although the guards were not weak, they were still the usual number.

After understanding this information, Baheshtur made war plans based on it. Moreover, he made three sets of war plans.

The surprise attack plans in the war plans were all the same, the only difference was the second half of the plan.

There were successful surprise attack, failed surprise attack, and the follow-up plan afterward. In the face of any possible situation, there were detailed countermeasures.

A crafty and changeable style was often built on sufficient preparation.

Kant sat in the cabin, which was specially used for office work. He carefully read some ancient documents about gods, demons, and the war between gods and demons.

In front of the desk made of high-quality wood, there was a bright silver table on each side. On each silver table, there were three high-quality honey waxes purchased from the Silver Platter Kingdom, which lit up the entire room. The floor was covered with a thick velvet carpet, and the wooden walls were hung with luxurious decorations. The entire room looked very luxurious.

Kant had absolute confidence that they could conquer Dukedom of Leo. This was not blind confidence, but the confidence that came from knowing himself and the enemy.

Therefore, he did not put too much attention on it. Instead, he gradually extended his gaze to the distant future.

Status always came from power.

The highest power in this world was none other than the gods and demons. They were once the rulers of this world, and now they showed signs of returning.

Kant had already fought many rounds with the gods and demons' forces.

But whether it was the undead forces led by the death knights who belonged to the gods' forces, or the supreme lord who called himself the Devil of Hell, the King of Evil, and the Ruler of the Flames, Aamon Qieke, or the supreme lord of the Devil of Hell, the Lord of Sin, and the Master of Flames, Flensas.

None of them could represent the true gods and demons.

Not to mention the undead army led by the death knights who called themselves the god's descendants, they were not gods and demons at all.

Take the two demons for example. No matter how great and powerful they boasted about themselves, they were actually just small characters among the demons.

The supreme lord of the hell demons. What a ridiculous title. This was probably the most genuine title of the two demons.

That was because demons came from the Abyss and devil came from Hell.

Chapter 497: Omission in Strategic Planning

As for the king of sin, the king of evil, and so on, they were completely self-proclaimed. This was out of the need to spread their image among the believers.

Only the two titles of ruler of flame and master of flame were their true identities. This was their demon's real name, and also the direction of their strength development.

These true demon nobles who had once stayed in this world and fought with the gods of this world were recorded in the ancient documents.

Ruler of Flames, Aamon Qieke came from the 76th level of the Abyss, the Flame Abyss. He was the demon baron in the Flame Abyss.

Master of Flames, Flensas also came from the 76th level of the Abyss, the Flame Abyss. He was also the demon baron in the Flame Abyss.

The demon baron was only the lowest level of existence among the demon nobles. Among the demons, the title of nobility was determined by strength. When one's strength reached a certain level, the will of the Abyss would bestow him with an additional title.

"It would be great if one day, I could attack the abyss. The demons of the Abyss are living denar!"

Kant thought so in his heart.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Kant withdrew from his reverie and smiled self-deprecatingly. Once the door of ambition was opened, it would never close. He still had not conquer Dukedom of Leo yet. His thoughts were too far away.

"Please come in." Kant said.

A Swadian Royal Knight walked in.

The full plate armor was worn on his body and polished to a smooth and shiny finish. Even though it was covered with a linen coat, it was still shining under the candlelight. There were exquisite patterns carved on it. It was so beautiful that it did not look like a knight who had been on the battlefield for a long time, it was a work of art meticulously crafted by an artist. It was the most perfect war art!

The three-meter-long heavy armor-piercing lance was held in one arm. The kite-shaped shield on the left arm was inlaid with fine steel. In the light blue cloak that fluttered behind him, the gilded knight sword was on the left side of his waist. There was also a slender spiked warhammer hanging on the right side.

"Lord, Mr. Baheshtur requests to meet you!"

The Swadian Royal Knight said respectfully to Kant.

"Invite him in!"

Kant closed the ancient document in his hand. Baheshtur must have come to talk about official business. It was not appropriate for him to continue reading this document. It was not in line with etiquette, and it would appear that he did not respect Baheshtur enough.

"It is my honor to meet you, my lord!"

After Baheshtur entered, he first greeted Kant respectfully. Then, he held a roll of parchment in both hands and respectfully presented it to Kant.

"Lord, these are the war plans for the attack on Lionheart City. Please decide!"

Kant took the parchment and casually praised, "Not bad. It has only been two days and you have already prepared the war plans. Thank you for your hard work."

Baheshtur smiled. The praise from his Lord Kant made him happy from the bottom of his heart. He said humbly, "It's not hard. It's my duty and pleasure to share the lord's worries."

Kant glanced at Baheshtur in amusement. These words came from the mouth of a nomadic thug like him.

Kant felt very comfortable listening to it.

He carefully looked through Baheshtur's war plan. The Swadian Royal Knights stood respectfully at the side. Baheshtur stood on the opposite side of the solid wooden table. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he waited for Kant's decision.

The room was silent. There was only the sound of the sheepskin roll being dragged on the solid wooden table and the occasional crackling sound of the burning high-quality honey wax.

Half an hour had passed.

Kant carefully considered Baheshtur's war plan and found that it was very good.

Seeing his highness Kant reroll his war plan, the anticipation in Baheshtur's eyes became even stronger.

Kant's right middle finger gently tapped on the expensive long table made of solid wood, rhythmically.

Baheshtur's heart also followed Kant's tap, up and down.

After pondering for a moment, Kant said, "Baheshtur, your war plan is very good, almost perfect!"

Hearing Kant's praise, Baheshtur was overjoyed. His highness Kant's affirmation was his greatest pursuit in this world.

At this moment, Kant said, "However, there are some flaws in this war plan."

Baheshtur became serious. Although he liked to hear Lord Kant's praise, if there were any flaws in his war plan, it would very likely lead to the entire war going from victory to defeat. Therefore, Baheshtur said with utmost seriousness, "I hope Lord can give me some pointers."

A small nest of ants could cause a strong dam to burst during a flood.

The war plan concerned the fate of thousands of people, as well as the fate of victory and defeat. Baheshtur did not want any flaws. If there were, he would definitely change it.

Kant said, "In Lionheart City, apart from the garrison team controlled by the four noble families, you have also considered the private soldiers of the other noble families. This is very good."

After a pause, Kant continued, "However, you have forgotten about the two extremely powerful forces!"

After listening to Kant's words, Baheshtur frowned and thought hard. He wanted to find out which force he had neglected when he was making the war plan?

Kant did not immediately give an answer. In his opinion, if Baheshtur could discover it by himself, it would be better than finding it through his advice.

Baheshtur filtered the information he knew about Lionheart City one by one in his heart and eliminated them one by one. But in the end, he was disappointed to find that he still did not understand that he had neglected the two forces.

He could only ask Kant for help. "Lord, I have racked my brains. I really did not think of the flaws in my war plan. I do not know if I have neglected the two forces."

Kant said, "The association of mages in Lionheart City, and the War Temple of the God of War, Edmund!"

Baheshtur was a person who had come to this world from the Continent of Caradia, even though he had seen the powerful strength of the mages under Kant and the followers of the Crimson Sect

However, when formulating the war plan, he still used the thinking method of the world of Caradia. He did not take into account the association of mages in Lionheart City and the War Temple of the God of War, Edmund.

These two places were forces that controlled a large number of extraordinary powers and could greatly influence the war situation.

Once Kant reminded him, Baheshtur knew that he had made an empirical mistake.

He quickly said, "Lord, if that's the case, then I'll go and re-investigate and make a new war plan!"

Kant opened his mouth and said, "Okay!"

He handed the sheepskin scroll back to Baheshtur and let him leave to rearrange it.

Kant wanted to say that Lionheart City had these two forces with extraordinary powers, but they also had extraordinary powers that were no weaker than Lionheart City. It would be fine to fight according to his war plan.

But Kant also considered that it would be better for Baheshtur to discover it himself.

His heroes would have to stand alone for him in the future. This matter would allow Baheshtur to grow even better.

Chapter 498: Investigation from the Other Kingdoms

The nobles of the South County had no intention of investigating the actual strength of the North County's army.

Because they were in a hurry!

Because they didn't need it!

In the meeting room of the command group in Seria Castle, Viscount Kemil signed the final battle plan that all the nobles had put on their family badges. It was quickly completed.

It was so sloppy that it was almost child's play.

In was stated like this:

"Go beat them and kill them properly. Use your invincible charge to crush the scums of the North County noble alliance army. At the same time, try your best to retain our troops!"

After receiving such an order, the remaining three heavy cavalry legions, three grand knight commanders, and fifteen knight corps commanders of the South County did not have any doubts about this final battle plan.

Instead, they felt that this plan was very suitable.

Among them, there were people who had experienced the battlefield. three grand knights and ten knight corps commanders had experienced the battle where the Dukedom of Leo repelled the invasion of the Silver Platter Kingdom ten years ago.

Their military literacy wasn't low.

Even the elite infantry legions of the Silver Platter Kingdom couldn't withstand the furious charge of the heavy cavalries of Dukedom of Leo even though they had twice the number of soldiers.

Could the scums of the North County noble alliance army be more powerful than the elite infantry legion of the Silver Platter Kingdom?

The answer was obvious. As long as they had the strength of half of the elite infantry legion of the Silver Platter Kingdom, the joke of attacking the Stone Pass would not be true.

A detailed and precise battle plan was only suitable for an evenly matched opponent.

For an enemy that could be taken away with a single charge, spending a large amount of time to investigate the enemy's detailed military strength and arrangements, and then spending a large amount of time to come up with a detailed battle plan was no different from wasting time.

Following this plan, 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers rushed out of Seria Castle.

After that, on the flat plains outside of Seria Castle, they were neatly arranged into three phalanxes of 5,000-man heavy cavalry legion.

Each heavy cavalry legion had a grand knight as the commander, leading five knight corps.

Each knight corps was led by a peak official knight and as commander of 20 small knight squads.

Each small knight squad was led by a peak official knight or a senior official knight. They were leading four official knights and 45 knight attendants.

Each small knight squad was formed by five official knights who were gathered at the front. They were used as charging arrows to break the defense of the 45 ordinary knight attendants. After that, they would lead the charge and kill.

Moreover, each team of knights basically came from the private army of the same noble. There would not be any mistakes in their coordination.

Such a configuration was completely the same as when the Dukedom of Leo blocked the elite heavy cavalry troops of the Silver Platter Kingdom.

This was because the nobles had copied the formation of elite heavy cavalry troops that had defeated the Silver Platter Kingdom to form their own private army.

The three heavy cavalry legions moved in an orderly manner towards the center of the border between the South County and the North County.

The heavy cavalry legion could not simply waste their energy on rushing forward.

There were some spies from well-connected forces patrolling around the battlefield.

They just happened to discover the heavy cavalry legions of the South County coming out of Seria Castle and advancing towards the infantry formation of the North County alliance army that was encamped between Maas Castle and Seria Castle.

Rolf used to kill these spies without restraint because he did not care about them at all.

The nobles of the South County did not have the courage to kill these spies who had gathered from all over the world. Otherwise, they might be taken revenge.

They did not want their strength to be clearly investigated by other forces.

It was rare for the spies to encounter such a good scouting environment. The gathered spies simply stayed about a thousand meters away and advanced towards the center of the battlefield with the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County noble alliance army.

In any case, there was a vast plain between Maas Castle and Seria Castle, and the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County noble alliance army weren't fast.

These spies from different forces around the world had already seen the infantry formation of Firentis. Now, they saw the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County noble alliance army, who were their opponents.

They could not help but discuss among themselves, exchanging their views on these two armies and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses.

"The South County is indeed the most powerful and prosperous area of the Dukedom of Leo. The heavy cavalry legions formed by some small and medium noble alliance army are actually so elite. They are even more elite than the heavy cavalry legions of our Kingdom of Daniel!"

A spy from the Kingdom of Daniel, who came from the far south, could not help but sigh when he saw the power of the heavy cavalry legions of the alliance of noble families in the South County.

"Brother, you really like to joke. Who doesn't know that the archers of the Kingdom of Daniel are the best among the human countries? A black stone fortress forced the dwarf tribe to the desolate Bujit Desert at the southernmost point of the continent. They attempted to return to their ancestral land in the northern highlands several times, but they were all suppressed by the Iron Army of the Kingdom of Daniel!"

When the other spy heard the words of the spy from the Kingdom of Daniel, he could not help but retort.

He wanted to continue speaking, but another spy interrupted, "That's right, your kingdom of Daniel is full of forests. What the hell do you need heavy cavalry for?"

Most of the spies were well-informed and knew many things that were not known to others. Such news that was known to the entire continent came as soon as they opened their mouths.

Another spy said, "When I saw the 30,000 infantrymen of the North County noble alliance army, they were very well-organized. They were not as weak as the rumors said! Those infantrymen who were scattered at the outermost perimeter were all looked strong. Their weapons and armors were all excellent, especially the thick tower shield that was taller than them. One look and you could tell that they were extraordinary."

"Brother, you have also noticed this? The weapons and armors on those soldiers were even stronger than the exquisite weapons and armors that were passed down from the dwarf tribe. Just based on this, I dare to say that the strength of the North County noble alliance army is definitely not as weak as the rumors say."

These spies from other countries who came from afar had mostly heard about the battle from rumors. They thought that those infantrymen were all the North County noble alliance army.

In fact, the soldiers that Firentis arranged at the outermost part of the infantry formation was Swadian Sergeants. They were the strongest level five infantry from the central Kingdom of Caradia, their individual strength was even stronger than the peak level official knights in the world. His defensive ability was extremely strong.

Otherwise, Firentis did not dare to believe that he would be able to take down the 15,000-man heavy cavalry troop of South County noble alliance army with just his 30,000 infantrymen.

"Do you think that the 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the South County noble alliance army could crush the 30,000 infantrymen of the North County noble alliance army, or it's the other way round?" Another spy threw out this topic.

This topic obviously touched the curiosity of many spies. They no longer simply analyzed the heavy cavalry legion of the South County noble alliance army or the infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army. Instead, they began to express their opinions and judge the strength of the two, they predicted the direction of the battlefield situation.

Chapter 499: The Battle of the Ancient Time

"Of course, the 15,000-man heavy cavalry troop of the South County noble alliance army are stronger. Ten years ago, I saw the heavy cavalry troops of the Dukedom of Leo when they were defending against the invasion of the Silver Platter Kingdom. Even if they are more elite than this heavy cavalry troop, there is a limit to how elite they are!"

Pausing for a moment, he saw that everyone was very interested and was even more engaging in discussion, he then said, "I admit that the infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army is not as bad as the rumors say. However, you have to look at the battlefield terrain of this decisive battle. This is a plain area. You want to rely on 30,000 infantrymen to stop the charge of 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers? Do you think that's possible?"

This spy's opinion was obviously the opinion of many of the spies.

As soon as he finished speaking, many of the spies echoed.

"You're right!"

"That makes sense!"

"I think so too!"

"It's absolutely impossible!"

There were even more powerful and convincing examples given by the spies to strengthen this understanding.

"The imperial guards of the Kaischino Empire seven thousand years ago. I think it should be the most powerful infantry corps in the past ten thousand years on the continent. Everyone doesn't deny this, right?"

The spy first asked all the spies around him. After seeing that everyone nodded, he continued.

"Back then, when the Isai Kingdom wanted to be independent from the Kaischino Empire, many noble families of the north joined in and swept across the entire north bank of the Resniston River."

"They relied on a force of twenty thousand invincible heavy cavalries to crush the army sent by the Kaischino Empire. In the end, they forced the Kaischino Empire to send fifty thousand imperial guards to attack, the battlefield was also on this vast plain in the South County of the Dukedom of Leo."

"20,000 unrivaled iron cavalry of the Isai Kingdom fought against 50,000 of the strongest infantry corps on the continent — the Imperial Royal Guards. I think everyone knows the result!"

The words of this spy seemed to have brought many spies back into the vast river of history. They were fascinated by that unprecedented battle.

That was the greatest war in the history of this continent in the past ten thousand years. It was the most glorious chapter in the history of the wars of various countries.

Faced with this spy taking out this battle example to compare with the current battle situation, even some of the spies who initially believed that the infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army could win changed their minds.

Even though the 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the South County noble alliance army could not be compared to the invincible iron cavalry of the Isai Kingdom 7000 years ago.

However, they did not think that the 30,000 infantrymen of the North County could be compared to the most elite imperial guards of the Kaischino Empire who dominated the entire continent.

At this moment, a spy said weakly, "We can't compare like this, okay?"

Many of the spies were immersed in the imagination of that unprecedented battle. As the horses under them slowly moved towards the north, the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Therefore, the voice of this spy was very abrupt.

All of the spies immediately focused their gazes on that spy.

Spies like them, who could be sent to such a distant battlefield, were all elites in this profession. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had traveled far and wide. Otherwise, no matter how glorious that war was, it was already 7,000 years ago, no one could know.

And these spies were obviously known by everyone.

The words of this spy were challenging everyone's understanding. Everyone thought that there was no problem with such a comparison. He was the only one who opposed such comparison.

The gazes of all the spies all expressed the same meaning, "Speak your opinion, and then let us despise you!"

The spy was alone, and he was not confident at first, but when he was provoked by the eyes of the crowd, he went all out and said in a clear voice.

"The victory and defeat of the war should not be seen only from the military strength comparison. The commander of the army is equally important!"

He continued, "I think that in the war of 7000 years, if it was not for General Edmund's leadership, 20,000 Isai Kingdom's iron cavalry would definitely lose against 50,000 Kaischino Empire's imperial guards! You should know that General Edmund even succeeded in becoming a god through that war!"

"Who is General Edmund?"

"That's right, why isn't General Edmund in the war historical records that we have read!"

"Then you should know that the god that the Dukedom of Leo worships, the God of War, Edmund!"

Many of the spies revealed expressions of disbelief. They had never known about this matter.

"The God of War, Edmund, actually ascended to godhood through that unprecedented battle?"

"How is this possible?"

"I know nothing about this!"

"Damn it, could it be that the historical data I've read about the war is incomplete?"

It was obvious that the spies were very concerned about the incomplete information they knew about that unprecedented battle.

"Brother, who faction does you serve? Many of us know each other, but you look very unfamiliar!"

At this moment, someone asked.

They were all spies from forces far away from the Dukedom of Leo, and they were even closer to each other. That was why they were chatting harmoniously.

The spy who was asked said somewhat awkwardly, "I work for the War Temple. When I saw so many of you together, I came over."

In the profession of spies, information was the most important. It was taboo for him to act like this.

However, these spies did not discuss any secret information. Moreover, they were in the territory of the Dukedom of Leo, so they did not think of doing anything to him.

"War Temple?"

"So, you are from the Dukedom of Leo?"

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"Brother, tell us the specific situation of the war that happened 7,000 years ago!"

Upon hearing the words of this spy, the shrewd spies knew why this spy knew the information about the war that they did not know.

In the War Temple, there would naturally be the most detailed information about the war god that they believed in.

As for the other kingdoms and dukedom, they each had different gods that they believed in. If they recorded the information that Edmund was the commander-in-chief of the 20,000 iron cavalries of the Isai Kingdom in the historical records, wouldn't it help Edmund increase his believers?

As for the nobles, they obviously did not want their own people to believe in the God of War, Edmund, because they read the historical records, so they moved from their estate to the dukedom of Leo.

These spies were obviously more interested in this ancient secret about the gods. They didn't continue to discuss the strength of the alliance of the noble forces of South County and North County.

The spy from the War Temple was obviously willing to spread the glorious deeds of the god he believed in.

Just like that, as the spy slowly told the story of the God of War, Edmund's ascension, the horses under them brought them to the center of the battlefield.

Chapter 500: Preparation Before the Final Battle

The 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the South County noble alliance army spent an hour to arrive at the center of the battlefield.

In the center of the battlefield, the 30,000-man infantry troop of the North County noble alliance army had set up camp.

At the border of the South County and the North County, the two armies could be seen from ten miles away. Hence, when the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County alliance army appeared one kilometer away, the North County noble alliance army were ready to welcome the charge attack of the cavalry.

The outermost ten rows of tents were completely put away. All the infantrymen retreated into the tents and even into the tents to form a tight square formation.

Facing the charging cavalry, the scattered infantrymen were simply courting death. Only by forming a tight square formation could they withstand the charge of the cavalry.

The tents in the square formation did not even close up. They only rolled up half of the tents on all four sides. They were like parasols with half of the curtains hanging down.

The use of setting up tents like this allowed the soldiers in the tents to gain a view of the surroundings. However, they could not see too far and would be blocked by other tents.

Even if the army formation at the front was destroyed by the charging cavalries, their morale would not be affected as long as they could not see. They could still maintain a tight formation and resist the enemy's heavy cavalries.

On the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the battle cries shook the sky. At any moment, there would be people who were injured or died, and they would let out miserable cries. As long as they could not see the collapse of the formation at the front, the miserable cries of the defeated soldiers would not affect the morale of the troops at the back.

As for the tight formation, it did not leave any space for the troops at the front to retreat to the back. If they dared to retreat, there would be strict military rules waiting for them to be killed. Hence, even if the formation at the front really collapsed, it would not have much of an effect.

An infantry formation could not collapse when facing the cavalry troops charging at them. If the formation was collapsed, it was no different from waiting for death.

At the same time, such a tent could block the cavalry's vision, causing the cavalry to feel isolated and cut off. This was the situation that the heavy cavalry formation most afraid of.

The cavalry that had fallen into the middle of the vast infantry formation would end up in an extremely miserable state.

Outside each tent, there were some pallets that contained military rations. There were even some that were made of wood that was tied up with sharpened logs. These things were placed in the aisle between the tents, making it seem a little narrow.

The use of these things would make it difficult for the cavalry that charged into the formation to move even a single step.

Between the tent and the tent, there were dense infantry. Each infantry had a spear that was at least three meters long standing beside them.

It was easy to use it to stab the cavalry on the horseback!

Such an army formation was simply a nightmare for the cavalry that charged into the formation.

The design of the camp of Firentis had fully utilize the infantry fighting against the charging cavalries to the extreme.

There were only two words.

To stay unmoving and restrict enemy's movement!

They had to think of ways to make their own infantry "stay still". No matter how the cavalry charged, they only needed to stay where they were and stab with their spear.

They had to do everything they could to restrict the "movement" of the cavalry. As long as the cavalries could not run, they would become dead men and horses when they trapped in the infantry formation.

Although such a camp seemed to have a huge flaw, such as vulnerable to fire attack, it could still be said to be completely ineffective against the heavy cavalry legion of South County.

Moreover, even if the enemy really used fire attacks, Firentis still had a corresponding countermeasure. The war plan would not allow such a serious omission to exist.

Needless to say, the heavy cavalry legions of South County would face a tragic end if they charged into this infantry formation.

That was because they might not be able to charge into this infantry formation.

Just as the 15,000 heavy cavalries of the three combined forces of the noble families of South County were about to enter the charging distance.

"Pass the order: Swadian Sergeant! Set up the shield!" Firentis gave the order.

Firentis stood on a high platform in the middle of the infantry camp to gain a good view.

From there, he could timely issue the corresponding orders according to the changes in the battle situation.

There were ten Swadian Royal Knights beside Firentis. The ten Swadian Royal Knights activated their extraordinary powers and repeated Firentis' orders together. Their voices spread throughout the entire infantry formation.

"Order: Swadian Sergeant! Set up the shield!"

"Order: Swadian Sergeant! Set up the shield!"

"Order: Swadian Sergeant! Set up the shield!"

As the voice of the Swadian Royal Knights echoed throughout the entire infantry formation, the Swadian Sergeants at the outermost perimeter of the infantry formation raised the tower shield in their hands up high and stabbed it heavily into the ground in front of them.

"Boom!"

The synchronized movements and sounds merged together, forming a deafening sound.

The ground shook a little.

Under the tremendous strength of the Swadian Sergeants from level 5 troop class, the dense tower shield's lower half body's shield body pierced into the ground by at least 20 centimeters.

The Swdian Sergeants only needed to use a portion of their strength to be able to withstand 30 percent of the impact.

Moreover, Swadian Sergeant's tower shield was extremely wide, and it could completely cover their entire bodies.

Therefore, Swadian Sergeant was completely able to use the "shield stacking" method.

The name "stacking shield" method itself fully explained the tactic. Each shield was stacked by two shields at behind.

The shields in the first row were supported by two shields at the second row. The impact force of each shield in the first row could be divided into the two shields on the second row, and the impact force of the two shields in the second row could be divided into the four shields on third row.

Swadian Sergeants' hands were curved (take a piece of paper and roll it in a circle, then released it, it would be in a curve shape), and they could perfectly execute the "stacking shield" method.

However, the number Swadian Sergeants was limited, with only 1,200 people, so they could only make two rows of "stacking shields"

However, it was not only Swadian Sergeant who had a powerful tower shield.

The level 4 troop class of Swadian Footmen also had tower shields. From the size of the tower shields they had, there was no difference. The real difference was only the thickness and material of the tower shields.

The strength of the Swadian Sergeants was stronger than the Swadian Footmen. Therefore, the tower shields of the Swadian Sergeants were thicker, much higher than the tower shield than the tower shields of the Swadian Footmen, its defensive ability was level 4 Swadian Footmen.

However, no matter what, the level four troop class Swadian Footmen was able to perfectly coordinate with the Swadian Sergeants.

The 800 Swadian Footmen had perfectly increased the two layers of the Swadian Sergeant's "stacked shield" to three layers.

If a single attack landed on the first row of the shields, then the number of infantries that shared the attack power would increase from three to seven.

Chapter 501: The Charge of the Cavalries

Although this method was not fully reliable, after all, when the cavalries of South County charged rapidly at the shield wall set up by the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen, it could not be a single attack, but a continuous wave of attacks.

However, the defense ability of three layers of 'stacked shields' was much stronger than two layers of "stacked shields". It was an indisputable fact.

It seemed complicated, but it only took about a minute for 1,200 Swadian Sergeants to form a shield wall and form two layers of "stacked shields".

And Firentis's came one after another.

"Order: Swadian Footmen, form shields!"

This order was repeated many times by the ten Swadian Royal Knights before it was immediately sent out by Firentis.

After the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen formed three layers of shield wall, Swadian Royal Knights issued a third order and a fourth order.

"Pass down the Order: Swadian Sergeants, deploy the lance!"

"Pass down the Order: Swadian Footmen, deploy the lance!"

As an infantry troop class that specialized in targeting cavalry, be it the Swadian Sergeant or the Swadian Footman, the lance they held was longer than the longest four-meter-long knight lances.

Five-meter-long infantry lance!

As Firentis's order was given, the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen who had already set up a shield wall pulled out the infantry lance that was standing on the ground beside them and placed it on their tower shields.

There was a 10-centimeter-long groove on the top edge of the tower shield, which was designed for the infantry lance.

Before the heavy cavalry charged, the infantry lance only needed to be placed on the tower shield at a 30-degree angle from the ground, revealing a meter outside.

When the heavy cavalries charged close, the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen only needed to lift the lances and extend it four meters out along the hole in the shield, while keeping the lance slightly tilted upwards.

There was no need to wave the lance at all.

The effect was that in front of the shield wall, there would be a neat and dense array of lances.

It was also to restrict the enemy by standing still!

The cavalry who had entered the charging posture, unless they stopped far away, just this array of lances would cause them to break their heads and bleed.

In the Continent of Caradia, which had been in war and chaos for many years, the cold-weapon war had already developed to an extremely high level.

When Firentis formulated his war plan, he always felt that he was bullying an enemy that only had a single troop class like the South County noble alliance army.

The heavy cavalry soldiers of the South County noble alliance army had seen the lance formation before. In their opinion, they only needed to lightly charge forward and pay a small amount of damage to break through the lance formation.

As for the shield formation, it was just like a floating cloud in front of the heavy cavalry troops who had entered the charging posture. They could easily break through it with a single charge.

Hence, when the three grand knights of the South County noble alliance army were 1,000 meters away from the North County noble alliance army, they did not hesitate to give the order to charge.

The three grand knights of the South County noble alliance army pointed their four-meter-long lance at the sky and shouted at the same time,

"For the honor of the Edmund the God of War! Charge!"

The use of extraordinary power made their voices spread throughout the three heavy cavalry legions.

As they took the lead to accelerate, the15,000 heavy cavalries began to accelerate rapidly.

The earth began to tremble slowly.

The sound of horse hooves resounded through the world.

"For the honor of Edmund the God of War! Charge!"

"For the honor of Edmund the God of War! Charge!"

"For the honor of Edmund the God of War! Charge!"

Fifteen thousand heavy cavalry soldiers shouted at the same time. Their voices were as loud as thunder that charged into the clouds, shattering the clouds in the sky.

As they shouted, the aura of these 15,000 heavy cavalry soldiers became more and more intense.

"Look, they're charging!"

"Oh my god, this aura is too terrifying!"

"What can stop such an army?"

At this moment, almost all the spies were gathered near the battlefield. The shouts of the South County noble alliance army's heavy cavalries reached into their ears.

The belief that they could break through everything and crush everything was mixed in with the earth-shattering shouts.

The spies from all over the world who sensed this exclaimed one after another.

"I finally understand why the heavy cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo is the strongest iron cavalry of the human countries!"

"Yes, I'm sure that none of the human countries' armies can face such heavy cavalry head-on."

"The North County noble alliance army is finished!"

"In the future, when we negotiate with the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo in the South County, we need to be more polite!"

"And this is only the alliance army of the small noble families in the South County. I wonder how powerful those top-tier noble families, or the army of the Grand Duke Cameron, will be."

The spies from all over the world discussed animatedly.

The spies who had followed the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County noble alliance army all the way from Seria Castle were all shocked when they saw the power of the heavy cavalry charging forward.

"These are the heavy cavalry of the country with the God of War, Edmund, presiding over them. How elegant!"

"I've just heard of the glorious deeds of the God of War, Edmund, and I've already seen such a grand and majestic charging posture of heavy cavalry. I didn't come to the Dukedom of Leo for nothing this time!"

"My blood is already boiling. I can't wait to transform into a heavy cavalry and charge together with them!"

"I've decided. After this, I'll come to the Dukedom of Leo!"

On the highest platform in the center of the North County noble alliance army, Firentis watched the iron cavalry of the South County noble alliance army and said to himself, "This army is not bad, but if that's all, it's still far from enough."

Then, Firentis straightened his spiritual sense and ordered in a clear voice,

"Order: Swadian Sergeants, raise your lance!"

"Order: Swadian Footmen, raise your lance!"

The ten Swadian Royal Knights circulated their extraordinary powers and spread Firentis' orders throughout the entire infantry formation.

Even the rumbling sound of the approaching South County noble alliance army heavy cavalry could not cover up the voices of the ten Swadian Royal Knights.

Ca-chunk!

Ca-chunk!

Ca-chunk!

Above the three rows of shield walls, a dense formation of four-meter-long lances appeared in an orderly fashion.

These long lances incline upward, if the cavalries of South County collided with it, they would get pierced on the horses.

Not to mention 13,500 knight-squires, clad only in iron-scale armor, they would be impaled if they hit by the lances.

Even the mail armor and plate armor of the 1500 official knights would not be able to block them.

This was the power of speed.

The invincible might of the heavy cavalry came from this.

However, if they encountered such a dense forest of lances, the weakness of the heavy cavalry would definitely come out.

This forest of lances was completely different from the lance formation that they used to break through.

Less than ten seconds after the lance formation appeared.

The three heavy cavalry legions of the South County noble alliance army, the 15,000 heavy cavalries with the mighty and invincible aura were crashing into the forest of lances and the shield wall behind.

Chapter 502: The Bloody Battlefield

Splash!

Spalsh!

This was a tragedy.

In just a short while, hundreds of knights from the South County noble alliance army hung on the forest of lances in front of the shield wall with their eyes wide open in fear.

They had thought that these infantry lances would be easily repelled by the four-meter-long knight lance in their hands.

After that, they would be able to ruthlessly break through the seemingly sturdy shield wall.

However, they had miscalculated.

These infantry lances were stuck in the grooves of the extremely heavy tower shields. Behind each tower shield, there was also a level 5 troop class, Swadian Sergeant, or a level 4 troop class, Swadian Footman, who used all their strength to fix the position of the tower shields.

With the strength of the knights, they were unable to shake off the foot soldier's lance that extended out from the tower shield for about four meters.

On top of the warhorse that was charging at high speed, there was simply no time for the cavalries to dodge.

Since they were unable to shake off the terrifying infantry lance, they could only be led by the warhorse beneath them to charge towards the infantry lance.

Within a short distance of four meters, under the charge of the warhorse's hooves, it took less than half a second.

The cavalries suffered heavy casualties.

Even the warhorse that had lost a cavalry could not stop its footsteps. It crashed into the shield wall at the front row of the South County noble alliance army.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A dull, loud sound reverberated across the battlefield. It was terrifying intense.

These loud sounds were the sounds of hundreds of warhorses crashing into the shield wall formed by the tower shields of the Swadian Sergeants.

The wails of the warhorses echoed on the battlefield.

The shield wall formed by three layers of 'stacked shields' only trembled slightly when it was hit by hundreds of warhorses. However, it didn't show any signs of collapsing.

The three grand knights who were charging at the front had escaped a disaster.

They had extraordinary strength, which allowed their reaction speed to far exceed that of ordinary knights.

Although their strength was not enough to shake Swadian Sergeants' iron shields, they still managed to react with their speed.

They turned their bodies to the side, avoiding the sharp tip of the lance.

Although it was unavoidable for them to follow their warhorses and charge towards the shield wall, with their strength, they were still able to withstand the impact.

This was due to the good armor on their bodies and their quick reaction speed. They all turned their bodies in time and crashed into the ice-cold tower shields.

They felt the ice-cold tower shields that were only shaking slightly when they collided with their warhorses.

A trace of despair appeared in the hearts of the three grand knights who had barely escaped death.

The charging cavalries would never be stopped. Once they were stopped, it would mean failure and continuous death.

The warhorses that fell at the front would become a stumbling block for the cavalries at the back. It would cause a chain effect, causing the warhorses at the back to stumble.

If the high-speed charging warhorse was tripped, then the cavalry on the warhorse would definitely end up in a miserable state.

They would be thrown away at an extremely fast speed and would usually fall to their deaths. Even if they did not fall to their deaths, their bones and tendons would definitely be broken.

The three grand knights were all qualified generals. This despair was instantly suppressed. Then, they gathered all the extraordinary strength in their bodies and roared crazily.

"Order: the 1st cavalry legion, all turn east!"

"Order: the 3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!"

"Order: the 2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!"

"Order: the 1st cavalry legion, all turn east!"

"Order: the 3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!"

"Order: the 2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!"

"Order: the 1st cavalry legion, all turn east!"

"Order: the 3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!"

"Order: the 2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!"

The three grand knights roared crazily, and the extraordinary power in their bodies was raging. They didn't care even if their bodies were covered in blood.

This made their voices drown out the galloping sound of tens of thousands of horses. Hundreds of thousands of knights and cavalries in the front row all heard their orders.

The charging heavy cavalries were separated by at least ten meters or even dozens of meters between each of the two warhorses. The 15,000 heavy cavalries were three to four miles long when they charged.

The dense formation of the North County noble alliance army made the shield wall not particularly long. It was only 200 to 300 meters.

After all, just the 600 Swadian Knights had surrounded the entire infantry formation.

At this moment, the cavalries that were originally in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th rows saw the miserable situation of the knights and grand knights in the 1st row, and they were already filled with fear.

When they heard the orders of the three grand knights, they immediately repeated the orders of the three grand knights loudly.

The cavalries in the front row of the 1st heavy cavalry legion shouted, "1st heavy cavalry legion, all turn east" and turned their horses to the east plain.

The cavalrymen in the front row of the 3rd heavy cavalry legion shouted, "3rd cavalry legion, all turn west!" and turned their horses to the west plain.

As for the knights in the front row of the 2nd heavy cavalry legion, they shouted, "2nd cavalry legion, follow the other two legions nearby, turn east or west!" Those who at the east part followed the 1st heavy cavalry legion and those who at the west part followed the 2nd heavy cavalry legion.

If the charging heavy cavalries wanted to slow down, they would need a long buffer distance.

Under such circumstances, such an order could not be given at will. Cavalry that did not slowdown in time would crash into horses that slowed down, causing them to suffer heavy injuries. If there were too many of such situations, it would definitely cause the entire army to collapse.

After the orders of the three grand knights were spread out, the three heavy cavalry legions split into east and west, quickly bypassing the North County alliance army's infantry formation and successfully leaving the battlefield.

Although there were still hundreds of cavalries that crashed into the sharp infantry lance of the North County alliance army and the ice-cold heavy tower shield, most of the heavy cavalries of the South County noble alliance army had managed to escape.

If the three grand knights had not given the order at the most critical moment, the fate of these knights would have been extremely miserable.

Although the heavy cavalry's formation stretched for three to four miles, for the charging heavy cavalry, this distance could be crossed in a few minutes!

Chapter 503: Hell in the Millstone

When the time came, the front row of cavalries would crash into the shield wall of the North County alliance army's infantry formation one by one, adding a layer of human and horse corpses as a barrier in front of the shield wall and the lance formation. The second, third, and fourth rows of heavy cavalries would not be able to stop their chariots, they would also crash forward without a doubt.

As for the heavy cavalries at the back, they could only follow the charge of the cavalries at the front. By the time they realized that the people in front of them were falling one after another, it would be too late.

The three grand knights were the commanders of the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County noble alliance army. At this moment, they were like three bloody people, lying on the warhorse that had been dead for a long time and had its neck broken.

They had their backs against the cold tower shields, and they did not have the strength to stand up.

The extraordinary strength that they unleashed at full strength had already caused their bodies, which had been heavily injured from the impact of the tower shields, to be riddled with holes.

At this moment, they saw that most of the heavy cavalries of their side had safely avoided the forest of lances and shield walls that were like monsters and traps. The unyielding light in their eyes gradually dimmed.

Just like that, they leaned on the cold tower shield of the North County noble alliance army. Under the cover of the hundreds of corpses of the South County's knights and knight attendants that were hanging on the forest of lances, surrounded by hundreds of warhorses that were dead or not yet dead. They eventually died quietly.

From the beginning to the end, the North County noble alliance army's infantry formation had been silent. They did not let out earth-shattering cries as the charging South County noble alliance army did.

The surrounding spies who were watching the battle thought that the North County noble alliance army's infantry had been scared silly by the might of the South County noble alliance army's cavalries charging forward.

However, after the results of this battle came out…

They looked at the battlefield silently. Under the shield wall and above the forest of lances, there were hundreds of corpses of knights or attendants of the South County noble alliance army's heavy cavalries. They actually felt a sense of panic in their hearts.

At this moment, in the eyes of these thousands of spies from all over the world…

The silent infantry formation of the North County noble alliance army was like a battlefield monster, quietly crouching in the middle of the battlefield, facing the charge of 15,000 elite heavy cavalry soldiers from the South County noble alliance army, it was waiting to devour all enemies that came.

The silent and suppressed aura spread among the spies. The strength of this North County noble alliance army's infantry far exceeded their expectations, their imagination, and even exceeded their knowledge.

The elites had never heard of such a thing.

After all, they were all spies.

The silent and stifling atmosphere was quickly broken. In the vicinity of the battlefield where the bloody aura had yet to disperse, they began to communicate and ask about the information of this North County noble alliance army's infantry formation.

"Who knows which noble these heavy footmen who used tower shields to defend the outermost perimeter of the infantry formation belong to?" a spy asked.

The moment he opened his mouth, he asked the most crucial question. The answer to these questions was that all the spies were concerned about.

These heavy footmen were equipped with extremely exquisite standard equipment, and they coordinated well. It was obvious that they were from the same noble.

This time, the battle between the North County noble alliance army's infantry formation and the South County noble alliance army's 15,000 heavy cavalries was extremely short. The one who had made the greatest contribution was the powerful heavy footman behind these tower shields.

Even if the North County noble alliance army had only a few hundred of these heavy footmen, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were capable of blocking the charge of 15,000 heavy cavalries of South County noble alliance army.

These people, who had come to this battlefield to be spies, had a certain level of military understanding.

Naturally, they could see that if it was not for the timely orders of the commanders of the three heavy cavalry legions, these 15,000 heavy cavalries of South County alliance army might have directly collapsed under a large number of collisions, they were utterly defeated.

"I've never seen such elite Infantry!"

"That's right. Even the Keyes Kingdom, the empire at the center of human countries which famous for its infantry, doesn't have such elite heavy footman, right?"

"You're talking nonsense. Our Keyes Kingdom's infantry is the best in the world. Have you seen how our strongest infantry legion fight?"

Obviously, the words of the scout in front had angered the scout from Keyes Kingdom. Although he admitted that these infantrymen were extremely elite, he obviously wouldn't agree if it was said that they were even more elite than their Keyes Kingdom's heavy footman.

"Alright, alright, that fellow just use your Keyes Kingdom's infantrymen. Don't take it too seriously!"

"That's right. After all, which noble of the Dukedom of Leo's North County does these elite infantrymen belong to? It has never appeared before. It should be the strongest trump card of their family."

"That makes sense. After the three heavy cavalry legions of the South County noble alliance army retreat, I think this North County noble alliance army will set up camp again and rest for a while. At that time, we can take the opportunity to approach and scout."

"Why do we have to wait until that time? In my opinion, their equipment is so uniform. It's obviously standard equipment. Then, on those equipment, there must be the noble's family badge."

"That's right. I think as long as we ride closer, we can see it clearly. As spies, our ability to identify all kinds of badges is beyond doubt. No matter what kind of badge this family has, we can always recognize it. Even if it's really remote, we can still find out the identity of their badge."

"Then, who will go?"

The infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army, which stood silently in the middle of the battlefield, was like a crawling monster, emitting a terrifying aura.

This was how these spies felt about the infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army. This was naturally the result of this battle, which had shocked their eyes and determined the outcome in an instant. It had formed a strong impact on them.

"Why don't we go together? The infantry legion of the North County noble alliance army shouldn't be against us. In fact, they might even use this battle to announce their victory to the world."

"Now that you mention it, I think it's true."

"Otherwise, how could they allow us spies to spy openly?"

"If that's the case, then the noble of the North County will have a big heart!"

"Ai, who says it isn't? The continent is becoming more and more unstable recently. Everyone is traveling around, so they should have some understanding, right?"

"The chaotic world is coming, a storm is coming!"

"Don't come here to sigh. Are we going or not?"

"Yes, yes, we're going!"

A large group of spies slowly approached the infantry corps of the North County noble alliance army from thousands of meters away.

Chapter 504: Information Exchange

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"I saw it. The badge of the noble that these heavy cavalry soldiers are loyal to is a shield-shaped badge with a bright red background. Right in the middle is a golden lion!"

"That's right, I saw it too. A golden lion with a red background!"

"Unbelievable! The main body of the badge is actually a golden lion! In the Dukedom of Leo, only Grand Duke Cameron has the qualifications to do so!"

"Does this noble of the north want to rebel and replace Duke of Leo?"

The spies rode on their horses and approached the infantry formation of the North County noble alliance army. As expected, the other party ignored them.

They also saw the badges on the tower shields as they wished.

These badges were extremely exquisite, completely different from the badges on the standard equipment of ordinary noble families.

It was a shield-shaped badge with a bright red background. A golden lion was lying on its side, its eyes looking askance.

It was so bright and detailed, as if it was printed on.

They had never seen such an exquisite family badge on any standard equipment of a noble family including its bright color.

If the other noble families had this family badge, the one they carved on the shield would probably be in the shape of a shield. A few strokes in the middle would carve out the simple image of a lion.

More importantly, this was the Dukedom of Leo!

The Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron's family badge had a golden lion as the main body, but that lion was standing in the form of a roar towards the sky.

In the Dukedom of Leo, other than Cameron, Grand Duke of Leo, no other noble could use a lion as the main body of the family badge.

This was treason!

Duke of Leo could send troops to attack this noble, kill all his clansmen, and completely occupy his estate as a warning to others.

Even a noble who was very close to Duke of Leo's bloodline, such as the countess of the East County, was only qualified to use the lion as a substrate, shrink it, and insert it into the corner of the badge to show her noble bloodline.

She definitely could not use the lion as the main body of the badge.

Seeing this red-bottomed golden lion badge, the spies suddenly became curious about this North County.

They could see that even if this baron of North County wanted to replace the Grand Duke of Leo, he was not arrogant. Just the strength he displayed was already extremely terrifying.

"Does anyone know that this red-bottomed golden lion's shield-shaped badge is the badge of that North County's noble family?"

"Even if this family really wants to rebel against the Dukedom of Leo and replace Grand Duke Cameron, it's still worth paying attention to!"

Thousands of spies focused their attention on this extremely arrogant badge.

At this moment, one of the spies said hesitantly, "This badge… I've seen it before."

Many of the spies immediately fixed their eyes on this spy.

This was an important piece of news. As long as they knew the address of this spy who had seen this badge, they would be able to make a proper deduction.

The eyes of this spy flickered slightly, and there was a trace of fear in them.

"I was once sent by my master to the depths of the Nahrin Desert to investigate the strength of the Lord of the Nahrin Desert, Baron Kant."

"Baron Kant?"

"It's him?"

"He's only developed for a year. How could he have such elite heavy footman troop?"

Hearing Baron Kant's name, the eyes of all the spies flickered.

The Nahrin Desert was a forbidden area for spies.

During this year, who knew how many elite spies had rushed into Nahrin Desert and never heard from them again.

"Could it be that the badge of the golden lion with red background is Baron Kant's?"

"That's the only possibility. Although the entire Nahrin Desert is vast and boundless, there's only one lord!"

"That's Baron Kant!"

The spies were all very sharp. Before the spy could finish his sentence, they had their own guesses and expressed their opinions. One of the spies hadn't even finished his sentence when he was interrupted by the other spies.

The spy saw that everyone had already guessed it, but after discussing for a while, they all looked at him again, wanting him to confirm it.

After all, there were very few spies that could come out from the depths of the Nahrin Desert. It was extremely rare.

The spy nodded and said, "Everyone's guess is right. This badge is indeed Baron Kant's badge."

After the spy finished speaking, he could not help but think of the flag that was flying fiercely in the depths of the Nahrin Desert under the setting sun.

At that time, he sneaked into the Nahrin Desert and accidentally discovered that there were ten elite soldiers with extraordinary powers gathered together. There were nine grand knights and one mage.

Such a powerful force seemed to be aiming for the secret in the depths of the Nahrin Desert.

He was so frightened that he quickly dug a hole in a sand dune and buried himself in it, only revealing a pair of eyes to observe quietly.

After that, he discovered that the 10 soldiers with extraordinary strength seemed to be planning to ambush Baron Kant, who was leading 50 heavy cavalry soldiers back to the depths of the Nahrin Desert.

This spy, who was hiding in the sand from afar, saw a scene that shocked him greatly.

The 50 heavy cavalry soldiers all burst out with golden extraordinary powers, killing the 10 grand knights and mages with extraordinary powers who had tried to ambush Baron Kant like they were slaughtering chickens and ducks, slaughtering pigs and dogs.

However, what left the deepest impression on him was the flag with the image of a golden lion on a red background, which was personally waved by Baron Kant among the 50 knights with golden extraordinary powers.

That flag had always been imprinted in his heart.

He did not even dare to report this information. Fifty grand knights were simply too unbelievable.

If his master did not believe him and wanted him to continue investigating and produce strong evidence, he would be done for.

After seeing that scene, he left the Nahrin Desert and did not have the courage to explore further.

After seeing the badges on the outermost tower shields of the North County, these images that were buried in the deepest part of his memory involuntarily surfaced.

At this moment, when the spies heard his confirmation, their eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

One of the spies carefully asked, "Brother, does this mean that you have reached the depths of the Nahrin Desert and found out the details of Baron Kant's strength?"

Someone said, "Brother, I will offer a golden eagle. As long as you tell me the details of Baron Kant's strength that you have observed."

"I am also willing to offer a golden eagle!"

"Count me in!"

The spies spoke one after another. They were all willing to pay a price to obtain the details of Baron Kant's strength from this spy.

They knew that this price was not expensive.

Many spies entered the Nahrin Desert with confidence, but since then, they had disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that they had died in the depths of the Nahrin Desert.

Chapter 505: The Desire in the Hearts of the Spies

The depths of the Nahrin Desert were like a bottomless pit, swallowing wave after wave of elite spies within a year.

It caused the entire spy world to feel a chill.

They even named the depths of the Nahrin Desert as a forbidden area for spies.

Out of the thousands of spies, hundreds of them were willing to pay a sky-high price of 1 gold eagle to buy the detailed information of Baron Kant's strength.

That spy's heart was burning with passion, but in the end, it could only turn into regret.

He wanted the detailed information of Baron Kant's strength too.

"Brothers, thank you for your kindness, but you all overestimate me. I did not truly enter the depths of the Nahrin Desert, but by chance, I saw a flag embroidered with this badge, appearing in Baron Kant's army."

The spies were instantly disappointed.

At this moment, another one of them said, "Since this badge is Baron Kant's noble badge, then it cannot be considered a rebellion!"

"Brother, why do you say that?"

"Could it be that just because Baron Kant is powerful and mysterious, you can come to such a conclusion?"

"That's right, even if Baron Kant could overthrow the Dukedom of Leo by himself, he would still be a traitor if he created such a flag."

"That's right. If Baron Kant really had such strength and ambition, he could have declared his independence from the Dukedom of Leo and proclaimed himself as an archduke. Then, he would have declared war on the Dukedom of Leo and obtained land that was comparable to his strength!"

"No matter what, Baron Kant designed this badge as his own noble badge. If he did not break away from the Dukedom of Leo, this would be a betrayal!"

The spy who spoke didn't expect so many people to attack him the moment he spoke.

He immediately felt a great pressure and hurriedly said loudly, "I say, you guys from the foreign kingdoms and dukedoms, do you know which family Baron Kant came from?"

"You don't know anything, yet you speak without thinking!"

Indeed, these spies from the other kingdoms and dukedoms only cared about the strength of Baron Kant, who occupied the salt mines in the depths of the Nahrin Desert. They didn't care about what family he came from.

After confirming Baron Kant's strength and then confirming the strength of the Dukedom of Leo, the forces behind them would know what choice they should make on the salt road in the Nahrin Desert.

Just like now, they were on the battlefield to investigate the strength of the noble alliance army of the South County and North County of the Dukedom of Leo. If these two allied forces were weak, they did not mind reporting to their master. They would bring up a plan to infiltrate and secretly take over the control of some of the noble forces.

This way, they would be able to obtain the right to intervene on the salt road.

At this moment, these spies who came from other kingdoms and dukedoms heard the passionate words of the spy and asked,

"Could it be that Baron Kant has some special identity?"

The spy replied, "Of course! If he doesn't have a special identity, how could I say that Baron Kant's use of this badge is not considered treason?"

"Tell me quickly, what is going on?"

"Don't keep us guessing!"

"Could it be that Baron Kant's family was the previous ruling family of the Dukedom of Leo and was overthrown by the Grand Duke Cameron's family, so they are back for revenge?"

"It's possible. If that's the case, it's not treason, but revenge!"

"No wonder Baron Kant could develop such a powerful force in a year. This must be the accumulation of his family's strength after years of enduring!"

The spy saw that the spies were impatient at first and urged him to tell them the reason, but now they had come up with their own random idea and ignored the real reason he wanted to tell them. He only felt that a crow flew over his head, it had even defecated on his head.

"Enough!"

"Do you guys want to know why I said that even if Baron Kant uses a lion as the main body of the badge, it can't be considered as a rebellion?"

Many of the spies who were chatting fervently, as if they had already grasped Baron Kant's core secrets, immediately cast a strange look at him.

"Isn't it because Baron Kant has the right to take revenge on Cameron, Grand Duke of Leo?"

"Baron Kant, who has such a right, no matter how much he goes overboard, cannot be regarded as a traitor!"

Unable to tolerate it any longer, the spy said loudly, "You bunch of self-righteous and ridiculous fellows, you think you know the truth, but you don't know anything."

"Let me tell you, the real reason is that Baron Kant is the second son of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron! Baron Kant has the legal right to inherit the Dukedom of Leo!"

When the spies heard this reason, the noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

"It's… It's this reason?"

"But… but even so, Baron Kant is not qualified to use the lion as the main body of his noble badge, right?"

"Yes, unless Grand Duke Cameron, personally crowns Baron Kant and makes him the new Duke of Leo, otherwise, Baron Kant is still not qualified to use the lion as the main body of his badge."

"Although this is not considered treason, it can also be called disobedience."

"It is only slightly less than the degree of treason. If it is not too much of a fuss, it is not a big deal to say that Baron Kant is rebellious."

"That's right. The reason you mentioned is completely useless. We can't conclude that Baron Kant is not a traitor."

As the spies spoke, they suddenly unified their voices. They believed that Baron Kant was a traitor to the Dukedom of Leo and the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron himself.

At this moment, a soft laughter sounded among the spies.

His laugh seemed to have a strange power. The noisy voices of the spies could not suppress his soft laugh at all.

When the spies heard this soft laugh, their expressions changed, and they actually became a little humble.

To be able to do this, one must have used extraordinary power. In other words, the person who made this soft laugh was most likely a grand knight.

Strength would be respected wherever it went.

Many of the spies immediately turned their attention to the spy who was laughing.

They were stunned.

This spy did not seem like a spy.

He was very young.

His face was smooth and delicate, his hair was smooth and shiny, and he was wearing an exquisite linen robe. There was an exquisite knight longsword hanging at his waist, and a pair of exquisite leather boots on his feet.

He was dressed like a noble.

No, he was a noble.

He wore a badge on his chest, which was also a shield-shaped badge. Under the body of a soaring eagle, there was a pattern of swords and sabers clashing.

The spies' expressions changed.

Spies like them all recognized this badge.

Eagles, like lions, were creatures that stood at the top of the food chain. Those who were qualified to use them as the main body of the family badge were either the royal family of the kingdom or the dukedom's archdukes. As for the other families, no matter if you were an ancient noble that had been passed down for thousands of years or a top-tier noble that had the power of an entire kingdom, you were not qualified to use it.

The shield-shaped badge with the eagle as the main body and the sword as a foil to its foundation was the royal badge of the Keyes Kingdom, which was widely recognized as the strongest kingdom of the human race.

There were more than fifty silent "spies" around the young "spy." In the silence, they emitted a determined and heavy aura.

"That's why you people who aren't noble don't understand noble at all!"

"The reason why the successor of a noble has to wait for the previous noble to bestow a title on him is because they don't have the power!"

"If they have the power, why do they need the old guys to bestow a title on them?"

"Just go get it yourself!"

"Otherwise, why do you think a family like ours would use a lion or an eagle as their badge?"

Chapter 506: The Hopeless Situation of South County

On the battlefield, the heavy cavalry legion of the South County noble alliance army no longer tried to charge at the immovable infantry formation of the North County noble alliance army. Instead, they were on the vast plain battlefield, they ran in a huge arc and retreated directly towards the south.

When these heavy cavalry legions had completely retreated, the central battlefield on the plains was only left with the tiny figures of ants.

On the high platform at the center of the North County noble alliance army's infantry formation, Firentis gave an order:

"Pass down my orders: the 5th squad of Swadian Sergeants, the seventeenth squad of Swadian Sergeants, and the 6th squad of Swadian Footmen, raise your lances, put away your shields, and stand sideways to hold your shields!"

After the ten Royal Swadian Knights had passed the order to Firentis throughout the entire infantry formation, on the shield wall on the southern side of the formation, the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen at the center began to move.

The Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen formed a 50-man squad. On the southern shield wall, there were three layers of "stacked shields". The first two layers were made up of three Swadian Sergeant squads, while the third layer was made up of four Swadian Footmen squads.

The members of the 15th, 17th, and 6th Swadian Footmen squads first drew the five-meter-long lance from the groove of the tower shield.

This process was a little laborious. After all, each lance was hung with the bodies of one or more knights or knight attendants of the South County noble alliance army.

The bodies hung on the lance were pulled back by the lance and eventually blocked by the ice-cold first row of tower shields.

As the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen pulled back their lance, they pulled the lance out of the bodies.

The bodies fell onto the bodies of the warhorses with a thud. Dark red blood started to flow out from the fatal wounds that were pierced by the lance.

After pulling the lance out from the groove of the tower shield, they picked up the lances with both hands and raised it up straight. The tip of the lance was pointed up and stabbed into the ground on the right side of their bodies.

With the weight of the heavy five-meter lance and the huge strength of the Swadian Sergeants or the Swadian Footmen, the bottom of the lance penetrated 50 to 60 centimeters into the ground, even if the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen did not support it, there was no danger of it falling down.

Following that, they used their strength to pull out the tower shield that penetrated 20 to 30 centimeters into the ground. Holding the tower shield, they turned their bodies sideways.

It was still neat and orderly.

However, a passageway that was more than half a meter wide appeared between them.

It was enough to pass through a soldier.

After that, Firentis gave another order.

"Pass down the order: Swadian Footmen, 10th, 15th and 20th squads, step out!" From the Swadian Sergeants and the Swadian Footmen that had cleared the passageway, they went outside the formation and killed all the knights of the South County noble alliance army who were not completely dead!

Total of 3,000 Swadian Footmen, as well as the 25,000 infantrymen of North County noble alliance army and East County noble alliance army, were split into 25 infantry units by Firentis.

Each unit consisted of 1,000 North County and South County noble alliance armies. At the same time, each unit was commanded by 120 Swadian Footmen.

That was to say, each infantry unit had 1,120 footmen.

Each unit was split into 20 squads. Each squad had 50 both counties' infantrymen, plus 6 Swadian Footmen. One of them was the unit leader, while the other five commanded 10 infantrymen of North County and South County.

Although the Swadian Light Footmen were only a minority of the infantry small squads and unit, Firentis still named these squads Swadian Light Footman squads and Swadian Light Footman unit.

The twenty-five squads were neatly arranged. The 10th, 15th, and 20th Swadian Light Footman squads were at the southernmost end of the formation. They could directly pass through the path in the shield wall and exit the formation.

After the 10th, 15th, and 20th Swadian Light Footman squads stepped out of the formation and killed all of the South County's cavalries that were not completely dead.

"Order: the 10th, 15th, and 20th Swadian Light Footman squads, collect weapons, equipment, and other spoils of war! Stack them in a place nearby!"

"Order: the 10th, 15th, and 20th Swadian Light Footman squads, move all of the corpses of the South County noble alliance army to a distance. Line them up and wait for the South County noble alliance army to deal with them!"

"Order: the 10th, 15th, and 20th Swadian Light Footman squads, drag all the corpses of the warhorse far away and burn them on the spot!"

Firentis's orders came one after another.

Every time, he would wait for the 10th, 15th, and 20th Swadian Light Footman squads to carry out the previous order before issuing the next one.

At the same time, they would maintain the main infantry formation and not make too many changes. They could deal with any sudden accidents on the battlefield at any time.

The raging fire started to burn.

At this point, more than 3,000 soldiers had finished dealing with the battlefield.

Beautiful, beautiful!

"Order: the 10th, 15th, and 20th Swadian Light Footman squads will bring weapons, equipment, and other spoils of war back to the formation!"

"Order: all of you, pull out the camp! The legion will retreat two kilometers north!"

After dealing with the battlefield, Firentis ordered the entire infantry formation of the North County noble alliance army to pull out the camp and retreat two kilometers north.

After that, they set up the tightly guarded camp, just like when they were attacked by the South County noble alliance army.

The camp was well organized.

After all, the center of the battlefield had just been through a cruel massacre. The strong smell of blood filled the air.

There were also burned horses and a pile of corpses of the South County's soldiers.

It was not that there was no choice, so there was no need to set up camp.

The South County's noble families in Seria Castle were in despair.

They did not expect that the North County infantry formation would be so sturdy. The heavy cavalry legion, which consisted of three grand knights and hundreds of official knights as the leads was charging rapidly with their full might, yet they were blocked by the enemy's infantry formation.

This almost directly crippled their heavy cavalry legion.

Bang!

Viscount Kemil's expression was extremely gloomy as he slammed his palm fiercely on the conference table made of precious wood.

"Damn it! It's impossible for the North County noble alliance army to have such elite infantrymen!"

Viscount Kemil's gloomy gaze swept across all those South County's nobles in the room. His eyes were filled with fury.

Chapter 507: Panic Nobles

His gaze was especially directed at the two barons closest to him.

This time, Viscount Kermil suffered the greatest loss in this short confrontation with the infantry formation of the North County noble alliance army.

Among the three grand knights, two of them came from Viscount Kemil's family.

Grand knights with extraordinary powers were not many. Even among Viscount Kemil's family, there were only ten of them, including Viscount Kemil himself.

Not only grand knights, but there were also more than 200 official knights among the 600 heavy cavalries who died this time. This was undoubtedly a heavy loss for the South County noble alliance army who only had 1,500 official knights.

Among the casualties of the official knights, Viscount Kemil suffered the heaviest loss.

This greatly weakened Viscount Kemil's strength in the South County noble alliance army.

The right to speak came from strength.

"Viscount Kemil, now is not the time to fight for power and benefits!"

The baron sat right to Viscount Kemil, spoke.

Although he said so, his tone was cold. Obviously, he was not afraid of Viscount Kemil anymore.

"That's right. The situation has completely gone out of control. It's extremely bad! We must think of a way out as soon as possible!" the baron sat left to Viscount Kemil, continued.

In the past, Viscount Kemil would usually be the one to dominate the meeting.

After setting the tone of the meeting, a noble immediately spoke up.

"Based on the current situation, we are in a dilemma!"

The expression of the noble who spoke up was not good. He did not look as happy as when he had celebrated his victory earlier.

That was indeed the case. Their original thought was that their troop could easily defeat the North County noble alliance army. After that, they could divide up the territory of the North County.

But in the end?

Their homes had been destroyed, and the North County noble alliance army had exceeded their expectations. It was a tough piece of bone that was hard to chew and even a little hard to chew.

They had thought of a strategy, but the first step could not be successfully carried out. These nobles were looking forward to a bright future, but now they were in stake.

If they could not take the benefits of the North County, supplement their own strength, and rebuild their family's foundation in the North County, it would be impossible to take back their homes in South County.

The rebellion army was still a weak force in their eyes. However, after the rebellion army wreaked havoc in the South County, most of their homes had been destroyed.

Destruction was easy, but construction was difficult.

Even if they took back their own land in the South County, they would face many problems. Their family's estate would be destroyed easily.

Their foundation in the South County was destroyed by the South County rebellion army.

Buildings, food, and most importantly, the people.

All of them were gone.

Without the North County as their foundation, taking back their estate in South County was impossible.

They were stuck in a dilemma.

However, under such a difficult situation, complaining was useless.

The noble understood this and didn't want to destroy their dignity.

This was indeed a difficult problem.

They only had enough food to last for a dozen days.

They didn't have the resources to drag it on.

Otherwise, if they had enough food, they could take back their own estate and rebuild their home.

Even though the speed would be very slow due to the lack of manpower.

The many noble families fell into silence.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very heavy.

Viscount Kemil suddenly said, "The reason why we are in this situation is because the North County noble alliance army is much stronger than we expected."

"This is not normal!"

Viscount Kemil suddenly said loudly. At the same time, he fiercely slapped the long table made of expensive real wood, making a crisp sound.

All the noble's eyes were focused on Viscount Kemil.

When everyone was at a loss of what to do, if someone suddenly spoke, it would undoubtedly meet everyone's expectations.

"This is indeed abnormal, but the fact is that it cannot be changed."

"Viscount Kemil, what do you think?"

"Could it be that this can also be a breakthrough to solve our situation?"

Viscount Kemil enjoyed the attention. After the many noble families calmed down, he said, "Before this meeting, the spies of my family on the battlefield have already reported to me. Do you know why our enemy are so powerful?"

All the South County's nobles immediately focused their attention and even looked at Viscount Kemil with envy. This was because Viscount Kemil still had spies loyal to him.

Although Viscount Kemil's strength had been greatly reduced, as the most powerful and noble noble in the beginning, his background was not comparable to the other nobles.

In fact, it was not that the other nobles did not have spies, but all the spies that they had sent out were all eliminated by Rolf. The spies that their family did not send out were also killed along with the destruction of their homeland in the South County.

As a result, there were no obstructions to the spies in this war. The South County noble families in Seria Castle had sent out pitifully few spies.

Many spies had even abandoned their original master, the nobles in the meeting room, when they saw that the South County noble alliance army had suffered a great defeat.

The spies had been serving the noble forces for a long time, gathering information.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the spies, many noble families tried their best to rope in the spies' families, or they directly used their families as blackmail.

At this time, the homes of these small noble families in the South County were destroyed, so the families of the spies naturally couldn't escape.

Therefore, the South County's noble families no longer had any restrictions on the spies, so it was not a big deal to be betrayed by the spies.

The envious gazes from the noble families eased some of the pain caused by Viscount Kemil's great loss of strength.

He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we miscalculated! In the North County alliance army, those extremely powerful infantrymen are Baron Kant's soldiers."

Although he said so, the expression on Viscount Kemil's face was not one of helplessness.

"Baron Kant?"

"Didn't he bring his main force to the East County? Before sending out the troops, I specially sent spies to investigate. Baron Kant built a castle in the East County."

"I also found out about this news! In my opinion, Baron Kant is simply trying to establish a foundation in the East County. Other than his main force in the Nahrin Desert, Baron Kant's strength in the East County is extremely strong as well."

"That's right. Even the Crimson Sect which is comparable to the top-tier noble's strength was destroyed by Baron Kant's powerful army that he brought to the East County."

"In this case, why does Baron Kant still have extra strength to throw into the battlefield of the North County?"

"This doesn't make sense! How could Baron Kant have such powerful strength?"

The many nobles had never thought of this possibility. They only thought that a certain noble in the North County had such a terrifying background hidden in the dark.

After all, the Dukedom of Leo had been established for more than 300 years. They could accept the fact that the nobles in the North County had secretly developed powerful strength. Most of the noble's strength was hidden in the dark as a foundation.

No one could be sure that among the poor noble families of the North County, there was no one who had powerful strength. Perhaps they had developed extremely powerful forces in other kingdoms or dukedoms.

Therefore, the sudden appearance of such a terrifying army in the North County noble alliance army was indeed out of their expectations, but it was not completely unacceptable.

However, Baron Kant had only established his force in the Nahrin Desert for less than a year, and they could not believe that he had such a powerful army.

They even concluded that Kant's powerful troop in East County was actually from Princess's Sofia legacy.

Chapter 508: The Discussion In the Meeting Room

Viscount Kemil, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that almost all the noble families had an expression of disbelief on their faces. There was a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes.

"We are not your match, but we can find you a match!"! This was what Viscount Kemil was thinking.

All the noble families present, including Viscount Kemil himself, did not believe that Baron Kant could have such a powerful army within a year.

However, the truth was that Baron Kant did indeed have such a powerful army.

Not only that, but his army also had shocking military achievements that were praiseworthy.

There must be a reason for everything!

A hint of a hidden smile appeared on the corner of Viscount Kemil's mouth as he said, "The Crimson Sect, as the embers of the Demon Worship Cult, is extremely powerful. It is not inferior to the six top noble families in the South County."

"Even so, Baron Kant led his army to attack his lair and destroyed it in one battle!"

"How?"

"Why does Baron Kant have such a powerful army?"

Viscount Kemil's words were loud and clear, as if he was summarizing the doubts that many noble families had about the strength of Baron Kant's army.

Then, Viscount Kemil said, "A militia can only become a qualified infantryman after three years of hard training. A militia can only become a qualified cavalry after five years of hard training, or a qualified infantryman can only become a qualified cavalry after three years of training."

"Before, Baron Kant had no foundation at all. Even if the salt mines in the depths of the Nahrin Desert brought Baron Kant more golden eagles and great silver coins, he wouldn't have been able to train such an elite army in just one year

"Besides, based on the heavy footman in the North County noble alliance army that blocked our cavalries, I can conclude that Baron Kant's army did not come from the legacy of Princess Sofia. Even when Princess Sofia was at her peak, the Silver Platter Kingdom's footmen under her were definitely not this strong."

"Finally, although Baron Kant is the second son of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, we all know that the Grand Duke Cameron has never supported the actions of his second son, whether it is in the economic aspect or the military aspect."

"If it was not for the fact that after the coming-of-age ceremony of Baron Kant, he had the power to obtain the title of nobility and obtained the right to be granted the estate, perhaps even Grand Duke Cameron would not grant him the Nahrin Desert even though no noble was interested in it."

"Therefore, we can exclude the possibility that Baron Kant's strength comes from the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron. Since Grand Duke Cameron tricked us into blocking the North County noble alliance army, this is absolutely impossible!"

Viscount Kemil analyzed each and every one of them, rejecting each and every one of the theories of the origin of Baron Kant's powerful troops.

When the nobles in the meeting room saw that Viscount Kemil's analysis was reasonable, they all nodded in agreement.

Viscount Kemil's analysis of the strength of Baron Kant's army had fully convinced them.

"Viscount Kemil, you're right. I think so too. It's just that it's not as comprehensive as your summary."

Immediately, a noble spoke up in agreement with Viscount Kemil. The one who spoke up was a weak knight. His words were full of praise for Viscount Kemil.

However, most of the nobles were puzzled. Although they all agreed with what Viscount Kemil said, what did it have to do with the current situation they were facing? It had nothing to do with resolving the current situation.

Therefore, many noble families voiced their doubts.

"Although that's the case, it doesn't change the fact that Baron Kant has a powerful army. It was his army that forced us into this dilemma."

"That's right, Viscount Kemil. The noble families must look at their strength in the end. Besides us losers, who else would care about how incredible and unreasonable Baron Kant's strength is?"

However, there were also some nobles who were very observant. When they saw that the nobles in the venue were expressing their opinions in response to Viscount Kemil's words, the scene became a little noisy, so they spoke loudly.

"Everyone, stop arguing. Stop arguing. Let's hear what Viscount Kemil has to say next!"

"Viscount Kemil, I see that you seem to have a plan in mind. You must have a countermeasure. Let's continue quickly. No one has any other intentions. It's just that the current situation is really bad. The nobles here all have great expectations for you. They don't want to hear some useless words."

Viscount Kemil enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of all the noble families. Even though his strength had been greatly reduced and he could not even suppress the two strongest barons in here, his deeper background and knowledge still allowed him to surpass the two barons.

"Some time ago, Viscount Gibran, the leader of the East County, was suddenly exposed. I think everyone here must be very shocked by that incident, right?"

When all the noble voices had calmed down and they were all looking at him expectantly. Viscount Kemil suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the current situation.

However, when the nobles in the room heard his loud speech, they also carefully observed Viscount Kemil's expression and found that he was indeed very calm. He seemed to have made up his mind. Therefore, this time, they did not easily refute Viscount Kemil, instead, they followed Viscount Kemil's words and answered his question.

The nobles were very enthusiastic and familiar with the struggle for power. They all knew that Viscount Kemil was taking advantage of this matter to regain his right to speak, which had been provoked because of his great loss of power.

Therefore, other than the two most powerful barons, whose faces were somewhat gloomy, the other nobles followed Viscount Kemil's wishes and expressed their opinions. They were only concerned about the solution to the current situation, it was obvious that although Viscount Kemil still hadn't proposed any solution, his performance was far better than the two silent and frowning barons.

A noble said, "That's true. When our family's spies in Avilis Castle sent the news, I simply couldn't believe it. Viscount Gibran is a hero of our Dukedom of Leo. I simply couldn't believe that he was actually the devil's lackey."

"Sigh, if you want to talk about shock, I'm afraid I'm the most shocked. When I inherited my father's title, I see Viscount Gibran as my role model. I wanted to become a hero like him. I was able to turn the tide in a crisis, making everyone marvel at me. After Viscount Gibran was exposed his true self, it was no less than directly shattering my dream!"

"I have always worshipped Viscount Gibran. Although I did not regard him as a role model, I had secretly visited him and asked him about training soldiers. All along, in my eyes, Viscount Gibran was a lord who was good at using soldiers. However, after the harsh truth was revealed, I realized that I was too naive in the past."

Chapter 509: A Vacillating Decision

The matter of Viscount Gibran had attracted a great deal of attention and discussion among the nobles in Dukedom of Leo. When Baron Kant accidentally forced out the true identity of Viscount Gibran, the first thing that all the nobles of the Dukedom of Leo chose to do was not believe it. They immediately sent spies to investigate the detailed information. When they received the detailed information, they had no choice but to accept the fact that the former hero of the dukedom was a devil's lackey.

In the past, Viscount Gibran was a powerful noble who was almost on par with the six top-notch nobles of the South County. It was because he was in charge of the East County and supported Countess Agatha that Countess Agatha had the confidence to fall out with the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron. She had sealed off the East County and isolated it from the South County.

In the past year, there were two incidents among the matters that the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo were paying attention to. Firstly, Baron Kant's discovery of the salt mine and his sudden rise to become a powerful noble that was on par with, or even surpassing, the six top noble families of the South County. Then it was the matter of Viscount Gibran revealed his evil true self was the most important one.

Therefore, Viscount Kemil's sudden mention of this topic, even if it had nothing to do with resolving the current situation where the nobles of the South County were trapped in Seria Castle and were stuck between a rock and a hard place, had immediately aroused the fervent discussions of the noble families.

Clap, clap, clap!

Seeing that the nobles seemed to be unable to control themselves when talking about this topic, Viscount Kemil clapped his hands, interrupting the conversation of the nobles.

He mentioned viscount Gibran only to "throw a brick to attract a jade", not really to listen to the views of the nobles towards Viscount Gibran.

Seeing that the many nobles had quieted down after he clapped his hands a few times, and once again cast his expectant gaze on him, Viscount Kemil was very satisfied, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Viscount Gibran was able to become the devil's lackey on the battlefield ten years ago. He instantly gained great power and killed all the elites of the Silver Platter Kingdom with the help of some militia!"

"Why Baron Kant couldn't do so?"

Viscount Kemil's second sentence was spoken very slowly, and his cold eyes scanned all the noble families present.

In fact, Viscount Kemil used extraordinary power when he said this sentence. Perhaps it had already spread out of the meeting room and was heard by the grand knights guarding outside the meeting room.

When he said such words, without any evidence, he was slandering a noble. He would have to go to the noble's court.

If it was proven to be slander in the end, the noble who would be slandered by him would see him as mortal enemy.

At the same time, he would also be ostracized by the entire noble circle.

The nobles needed to maintain a minimum of dignity.

There were some things that could be done but could not be said.

Just like what Viscount Kemil was saying now, if Viscount Kemil secretly sent people to spread rumors, nothing would happen.

However, Viscount Kemil did not do that. Instead, he directly said such a "slander" in front of so many noble families.

In the absence of evidence, this was a blatant slander and defamation. It would greatly affect Baron Kant's reputation.

If Baron Kant found out about this, Viscount Kemil would become Baron Kant's mortal enemy.

Just as Viscount Kemil expected, after all the noble families heard his crazy words, they all stood up from their seats in shock.

The baron who was sitting on the right side of Viscount Kemil was the first to speak. He asked Viscount Kemil in a stern voice, "Viscount Kemil, what evidence do you have for saying such words?"

Following that, many nobles spoke up as well.

"Viscount Kemil, you must give a satisfactory explanation for this matter. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless!"

The baron, who was sitting at the left side of Viscount Kemil, also spoke unkindly.

"Viscount Kemil, if you don't have any concrete evidence, please immediately retract your previous words!"

"Don't think that we will go along with you. This is a feud that will never end with Baron Kant!"

There were not many idiots among the noble families. At this moment, they could all see through Viscount Kemil's sinister intentions.

Viscount Kemil wanted to tie them to him and sully Baron Kant's reputation.

All they needed was for Viscount Kemil and the noble families to say that Baron Kant's strength came from the devil.

Then, before the truth came out, whether it was the sect of the God of War of the Dukedom of Leo, the sect of the God of Glory of the Silver Platter Kingdom, or the sect of Mother Earth of the Keyes Kingdom, the churches of the god of all human forces would not sit idly by. Instead, they would immediately send their troops to attack Baron Kant.

The enemy of the gods was the demons from the Abyss.

However, once Baron Kant proved that his strength had nothing to do with demons, the army sent by the sect of the God of War to attack Baron Kant would be immediately recalled.

Within the human race, the strength of churches and sects was inferior to the nobles' strength. They would never dare to deal with a noble who was considered a top noble in the entire human race.

At that time, they, the nobles who slandered Baron Kant, would fight to the death with Baron Kant.

Moreover, they would suffer the rejection of the entire noble class.

The consequences would be very serious. All the nobles in the meeting room did not want to suffer such an outcome.

Even if Viscount Kemil's method could indeed force Baron Kant to withdraw his power and use it to deal with the troops of the sects that were attacking him.

At the same time, they could also destroy North County noble alliance army and realize their original strategic plan.

But the risk was still too great!

If Baron Kant proved his innocence, they would be punished by Baron Kant. They did not think that they could stop Baron Kant's army.

The Crimson Sect, which could be compared to the top noble families, was destroyed by Baron Kant in their own lair.

Viscount Kemil looked coldly at the nobles. He had long expected this scene.

The current Baron Kant was at the peak of his power. None of the nobles here were willing to truly offend Baron Kant.

They had only sent troops to bully the North County noble alliance army for the sake of benefits.

Although these noble families had indeed lost their homes and faced a dilemma, this was because they had not given up on the fight for benefits.

If they were willing to give up on benefits, they could still have choices.

They could either side with Baron Kant, support him against the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, or chase him off and become the new Grand Duke.

Or they could side with the Grand Duke of Leo. At that time, they would be able to obtain the support of the Grand Duke of Leo. At that time, it would not be so difficult to deal with the current situation.

After all, they were still nobles.

Although they were currently fighting against the North County noble alliance army, and Baron Kant's powerful army as well.

However, they did not choose a side yet.

Chapter 510: The War Between Gods and Demons

Viscount Kemil had long expected the opposition of the many noble families.

There was no one who understood the nature of the noble families better than the noble families themselves.

It was nothing more than two words.

Profits.

The reason why these noble families were unwilling to "expose" the strength of Baron Kant's subordinates with Viscount Kemil was because they did not have any concrete evidence that Baron Kant was sided with demons.

They were afraid of Baron Kant's revenge in the future.

However, if they were given a bit of "evidence", driven by greed and profit, these noble families would probably take the initiative to "expose" Baron Kant's sins even more than Viscount Kemil.

No matter how powerful Baron Kant was, how could he resist the strength of all the human kingdoms and dukedoms' sects.

Viscount Kemil had long been prepared.

Although he had prepared a lie, in Viscount Kemil's opinion, Baron Kant's unreasonable rapid increase in strength could only come from a demon that could quickly bestow power to believers. There was no other possibility.

Viscount Kemil believed that after his reminder, all the noble families present had such thoughts, deep or shallow.

When all the noble families had verbally condemned Viscount Kemil and calmed down, they waited for Viscount Kemil to give them an explanation.

Viscount Kemil did not speak immediately. He waited for a period of time.

Time would cause things to change, including people's thoughts.

Just as Viscount Kemil had expected, the reason why these noble families opposed him was because they had deduced the most serious consequences at the first moment. And that kind of consequences would greatly harm their interests.

Now, these noble families had quieted down. Instead, they could not help but think about the words of Viscount Kemil. They suddenly felt that the words of Viscount Kemil might be the truth of the matter. Regardless of whether they "exposed" Baron Kant, whether it was slander or defamation, if the sects really discovered the power of the devil in Baron Kant's strength, then they did not need to care about Baron Kant's revenge.

By then, Baron Kant would not have the energy to care about them and might even be destroyed very quickly.

When the noble families thought about problems, they would always start from the interests.

Viscount Kemil's words did not pose a pure threat to the noble families present. There was an even more alluring temptation of interests.

Many of the noble families immediately began to waver, showing signs of struggling. It seemed to Viscount Kemil that the time had come.

Perhaps he did not need to use his last resort — to force the noble families to be on the same boat as him.

Viscount Kemil said in a deep voice, "I have evidence!"

As soon as Viscount Kemil said this, the eyes of the noble families in the South County were filled with anticipation.

If they really had evidence, they did not need to worry about Baron Kant's revenge.

"What evidence?"

"Is it reliable?"

Immediately, some of the nobles asked.

It seemed that their attitude had indeed changed greatly compared to before.

Viscount Kemil revealed a confident smile on his face and said slowly, "I wonder if any of you have ever read the literature about the ancient was of demons and gods?"

Viscount Kemil asked this question, but he was sure that the noble families of the South County had read the literature on the ancient war of gods and demons. It was extremely rare, to the point that not even one of them had read it.

After all, these nobles were all small and medium-sized noble families of the South County. They did not have a deep background, so it was difficult for them to access such precious information.

These were the prerequisites for Viscount Kemil to weave a lie and successfully deceive these noble families.

Hearing Viscount Kemil's question, most of the nobles were at a loss. They might not even know that a world-shaking war between gods and demons had once happened in this world.

The South County was a prosperous plain. There were very few cases of demonized creatures wreaking havoc in there. If they were not frequently threatened by demonized creatures, who would pay attention to the gods and demons that were related to them?

At this moment, a noble asked, "The ancient war between gods and demons? Did such a terrible thing happen in our world?"

They could not be blamed for their ignorance. After all, that was tens of thousands of years ago.

What could withstand the erosion of time and never fade?

Even the gods and demons known as immortals would not receive much attention after they lost their position as the rulers of the world. They fell, were suppressed, and buried in some corner of the world, or some ruins for tens of thousands of years. Those who would specially study these things were only scholars who specialized in this field.

After that noble asked the question, the other nobles also expressed their doubts.

"I've never heard of any war between gods and devils. However, there are times when some devils would appear in a kingdom or dukedom to wreak havoc. At such times, the various kingdoms and dukedom sects would send out powerful troops to wipe out the demons and the forces they developed."

"That's right. On the continent, the last time the demons wreaked havoc was over a hundred years ago when they worshipped the demons. If it wasn't for the other kingdoms and dukedom's sects sending out troops to support them, I'm afraid our Dukedom of Leo would have been in danger of being exterminated."

"What you said isn't right. The last time should have been Viscount Gibran's Crimson Sect. When Viscount Gibran was exposed, it was obvious that he knew that his death was near. He had once crazily wanted to take revenge on Baron Kant. However, he did not expect that Baron Kant's strength far exceeded his imagination. Before the sect's army arrived, Baron Kant had already destroyed him and the Crimson Sect."

"The things we know about the gods and demons are only a few scattered calamities of the demons. I heard that they are the enemies of the gods. However, I have never heard of an ancient war between gods and demons, much less read about it."

The nobles of the South County were talking about it, but as Viscount Kemil had expected, no one had read about the war between the ancient gods and demons.

If that was the case, even if Viscount Kemil made up a demon, they would not be able to determine whether it really existed.

Viscount Kemil said, "I once read in the literature about the war between the ancient gods and demons that a demon army named Swadia had a small-scale battle with the god's descendants of the ancient gods."

This sentence was only briefly mentioned in the literature related to the war of gods and demons.

"Because the location of this small battle back then was within the territory of the Dukedom of Leo, I noticed it and had a very deep impression of it."

"But even so, if I hadn't received the news from the spies, I might not have been able to remember this matter."

Seeing that many of the noble families were listening attentively, Viscount Kemil's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Chapter 511: Rumors From the Nobles

It was obvious that they hoped that Viscount Kemil could give them proof that Baron Kant's great strength was obtained by defecting to the demons.

Viscount Kemil did not disappoint them.

He said, "In this war, according to the report of my family's spies on the battlefield, the name of the North County noble alliance army is called Swadia! It's the same name as a demonic army in ancient times! This is not something that only my spies heard, but the fact that all the spies near the battlefield heard it."

At that time, when Firentis ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, there were no deafening shouts of the cavalry. The ten Swadian Royal Knights repeated Firentis's order to clean up the battlefield, all of them were heard by the spies who were close to the infantry formation to check the badges on the tower shields.

Swadia, this name undoubtedly unfamiliar to the people of this world.

It sounded like a demon from the Abyss to them.

Coincidentally, Viscount Kemil was able to use this to fabricate the truth and slander this army.

The nobles of the North County and East County were very clear that they had never heard of an army with the name of Swadia.

Then, without a doubt, this name came from Baron Kant's army.

And with the powerful strength of Baron Kant's army, the North County noble alliance army had such a strange name. It must have been named after Baron Kant's army.

Just as the nobles present were skeptical about this news, a few nobles spoke up.

"Viscount Kemil is right. We also have spies from the battlefield. The North County noble alliance army is indeed called the strange name of 'Swadia'."

These few knights were considered to be the weakest among the noble families in the room.

It was because of this reason that they didn't send put their spies during the previous investigation and avoided being killed by Rolf.

The reason why those spies were still loyal to them was because the weakest noble families like them usually sent out spies who had blood ties with their own families. This way, they would not be easily recruited and bought over by other big forces.

With the support of these few knights, the nobles began to believe Viscount Kemil's claim that Baron Kant was able to obtain such a powerful army within a year because he had already defected to the demons.

Other than this reason, there was no other reason that could explain Baron Kant's strength. The noble families already had this thought in their hearts.

The devil's calamity that occasionally appeared on the continent was often the same. In an extremely short period of time, a powerful team that tied to the demons was formed.

Therefore, after Viscount Kemil gave the "evidence", these noble families did not hesitate to stand on Viscount Kami's side.

They had always longed for such a "evidence" to appear, and this evidence was something that they did not have the ability to verify, so they subconsciously chose to believe it.

Viscount Kemil smiled very brightly. Because of this matter, all the noble families had once again united around him. With the "evidence" that he had provided, when the benefits of the North County were divided up, he might be able to take advantage of the situation and reap more benefits.

Another two days passed.

During these two days, a major event happened.

Viscount Kemil, together with all the small and medium-sized noble families of the South County in Seria Castle, used their noble honor as a guarantee to pass through the border between the South County and the North County, and cruise around the battlefield from all over the continent, almost all the spies of the human kingdoms and dukedoms issued a statement to the masters behind these spies,

Baron Kant had defected to a demon. It was said that it was a powerful demon named Swadia.

With the help of this powerful demon named Swadia, Baron Kant was able to possess such powerful strength in a short year.

Such news was sent to their masters in a short time by the spies using their own methods.

It caused a great uproar in all the kingdoms and Dukedom of Leo.

Some of the major nobles who were not involved in this event, mostly the small and medium-sized nobles, learned about the existence of Baron Kant of Leo.

Baron Kant's experience was also spread throughout all the kingdoms and Dukedom of Leo.

It could be said to be a legend.

When he was 16 years old, his father, Cameron, Grand Duke of Leo, personally conferred him the title of baron and the estate of Nahrin Desert.

Baron Kant, who was 16 years old, led 30 peasant soldiers and was escorted by 20 cavalry soldiers to Oasis Lookout in Nahrin Desert, an oasis that was about 1,000 square meters in size.

After that, the 20 cavalry soldiers returned to the Dukedom of Leo and threw Baron Kant and 30 peasant soldiers into the Oasis Lookout. It was said that the Oasis Lookout was occupied by the Jackalans at that time.

It was more like a banishment than a conferment. It was even more vicious than murder.

With the help of Baron Kant's salt trading, the situation in the Nahrin Desert had spread to all the kingdoms and dukedom of the human race.

It was truly barren, a forbidden area of civilization, a terrifying area that could be described by any harsh environment.

An area that even escaped slaves didn't want to set foot in.

They would rather be caught and killed than enter the Nahrin Desert.

Because living in the Nahrin Desert was equivalent to the greatest torture in prison!

There were even rumors.

Once, the Dukedom of Leo issued a law in the chaotic political situation 100 years ago, which was to give a blunt knife, a water sack, and a piece of bread to a prisoner who had committed treason and regicide. Then, the prisoner would be led to the Nahrin Desert, they would throw this criminal into the depths of the desert.

This law was effective in intimidating the chaotic political situation at that time, and it had lasted until now.

It was enough to show the terror of the Nahrin Desert.

In such a place, Baron Kant, who was 16 years old, only had 30 peasants by his side. Yet, he had survived tenaciously.

Moreover, he had lived a comfortable life.

Not only did he find table salt in the Nahrin Desert, which could produce the most delicate table salt that humans had ever seen, but he also made a lot of money by selling table salt. Furthermore, his own strength was also increasing rapidly, it was like a dream that was rapidly expanding.

There were even rumors that Baron Kant had built a fortress in the Oasis Lookout.

In a short year, Baron Kant had become recognized by the entire Dukedom of Leo as a powerful baron with the strength of a top noble.

Astonishing wealth, powerful army, terrifying battle achievements.

This was like a dream.

It was an absolute legend.

However, all of this happened too quickly.

It was really too fast.

All of this happened in just a year.

If Baron Kant had used ten years to achieve his current achievements, no one would question Baron Kant.

By then, Baron Kant's rise would still be celebrated by bards and become a legend.

But now, Baron Kant's legendary experience was spread among the nobles. It was accompanied by a statement from many nobles in the Dukedom of Leo's South County, using their noble honor as a guarantee:

Baron Kant had defected to the devil.

Such a statement was almost instantly believed by the knowledgeable noble.

At the same time, the sects of the various kingdoms and dukedoms also took action.

They were the spokesmen for the gods.

They would never allow the devil to return to the earth, because the gods were afraid of falling.

Chapter 512: An Even Worse Situation

Near Lionheart City, in a quiet tributary of the Reniston River.

The fleet led by Baheshtur was hidden in it. The dense reeds made the huge fleet less likely to be exposed. and the merchant ships that tried to pass through this tributary these past few days were all destroyed by Baheshtur, at this moment, they were lying quietly at the bottom of the deep river.

Within the fleet, Kant was sitting on the ship.

Kant looked at the summary of information reported by the spies. After thinking hard about the situation for a while.

Kant sighed and said, "It seems that Firentis has gone overboard!"

"However, his strategic intention of making my name known and announcing the strength of my army has also been achieved."

"However, it was completely opposite to my original goal. I originally wanted to attract the support of the noble families by displaying my tyrannical strength

"I don't even know if he succeeded or failed!"

At this moment, Baheshtur stood respectfully in front of Kant's desk made of expensive wood. When he heard Kant's words, he couldn't help but say, "Lord, wars are always unpredictable."

"All wars should have victory as their highest goal. If Firentis wants to use war as a show, it's too risky."

"The enemy is not the puppet in his hand. Their reaction will not be exactly the same as he expected."

Kant frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "That group of South County's noble in Seria Castle, their move is really ruthless."

"They directly pushed me to the opposition to the noble families in all the kingdoms and dukedoms, as well as all the sects. Even the South County rebellion army, which has already agreed to join us, suddenly changed their minds."

"And that group of North County noble alliance army and East County noble alliance army, they are also surging with undercurrents!"

"Baheshtur, tell me, how should I respond?"

Baheshtur saw Kant frowning, but there was no anxiety on Kant's face, so he said, "Lord already has a plan in mind, I just need to follow your orders!"

Kant heard Baheshtur's somewhat flattering words, smiled and said, "In that case, Baheshtur, listen to my orders!"

Kant placed the sheepskin scroll that Baheshtur had previously asked him to make a ruling on on the expensive and solid wood desk, pushed it towards Baheshtur across the desk, and pushed the sheepskin scroll in front of Baheshtur.

"You will immediately start a war according to your new battle plan for the surprise attack on Lionheart City and take down Lionheart City!"

"The mage troops that I will lead, as well as the squads of the Swadian Royal Knights and the squads of the Sarleon Lion Knights, will all obey your orders!"

Baheshtur's spirits were lifted. After he had re-investigated the strength and distribution of strength in Lionheart City, the battle plan that he had once again made was directly agreed by Kant. This was Kant's affirmation of him.

Baheshtur grabbed the sheepskin scroll that had his war plan written on the expensive and solid wood desk in front of him. He bowed and said to Kant in a high voice, "Baheshtur obeys your orders, my lord!"

Kant smiled and said, "Go! I look forward to your victory!"

Baheshtur held the sheepskin scroll and respectfully retreated from the room that was specially used for office use.

Kant gave an order to another mage who was respectfully standing in the room, waiting for a reply, "Convey my three orders to Firentis!"

"First, let the East County noble alliance army leave on their own! If there is any intention of a backlash, destroy them immediately!"

"Second, force the Northern County noble alliance army to attack Seria Castle, and try to use the North County noble alliance army as cannon fodder!"

"Third, have him convey my orders to Rolf. Have Rolf lead his desert bandits and the 5,000 heavy cavalries that were supposed to end the South County noble alliance army to wipe out the South County's rebellion army and seize the wealth that the rebellion army plundered from the South County!"

The mage respectfully received his orders and left. At this moment, Kant was the only one left in the room.

Kant considered these orders thoroughly and found out the gaps.

Kant did not need to give a specific war plan. He only needed to coordinate the overall war situation and control the overall situation.

Baheshtur, Firentis, and Rolf were all heroes with extremely strong war abilities. As for the specific war arrangements, Kant could just leave it to themselves.

At this moment, according to the spies.

All the sects in the human countries had sent an elite knight order towards the Dukedom of Leo.

The purpose was self-evident.

However, the journey was long and time-consuming.

Kant wanted to use this time to take down the Dukedom of Leo as soon as possible.

At least, he would occupy half of the South County and Lionheart City, forming a triangle and sealing off the heart of the Dukedom of Leo — the Lion Fort.

Kant had set up his early preparation.

He was not afraid of war. With the system, war would only make him stronger.

As long as he had enough denar!

However, the rumors spread by the Southern County noble alliance army this time somewhat disrupted Kant's previous blueprint of conquering and ruling this continent.

He originally planned to use the world's army as the main body to ensure his own strength. He would use the system village's advanced towns and fortresses as the foundation and use the world's noble families as support to rule and manage the territories he conquered, and to provide the army to expand from his war strength.

Step by step, this gradually encroached on the world.

But now, such an idea, it seems to be impossible.

Facing the coming knights of various sects and churches, Kant faced them only one way, war.

It was not that Kant did not want to clarify and prove to them that his strength did not come from the devil.

It was that he was unable to clarify.

Kant couldn't explain to them that his strength came from the system.

And if he didn't explain clearly and completely clarify, these stubborn religious armies would obviously not give up.

The noble families of this world would all agree that Kant's strength came from the demons.

In this way, they wouldn't join Kant at all.

If the rumors spread by the South County noble families in the Seria Castle changed from Baron Kant to someone else, even if Kant saw it himself, he would think that such rumors were very believable.

There was a saying that in this world, the only thing that would not change was the change itself.

Kant agreed.

His grand plan had just taken half a step forward — to recruit the rebellion army of the South County as his henchmen, but it was suddenly shattered by the change in the situation.

Originally, the rebellion army of South County had accompanied Rolf to the battlefield at the border between South County and North County, preparing to outflank the heavy cavalry legion of the South County noble alliance army .

This would make the entire battle scene even more grand.

It would also highlight the shocking scene in the battle plan of Firentis.

Chapter 513: The Blueprint of the Future Strategy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The troop of 5,000 heavy cavalries that were purely from Kant's heavy cavalry troop. They could easily defeat and perish the 15,000 South County heavy cavalry legion that even the North County noble alliance army and the rebellion army could not defeat.

In the end, after the South County rebellion army heard the rumors, they tore up the alliance and left Rolf.

After the noble commanders of the East County alliance army heard the rumors, they hinted and even threatened to leave the battlefield and return to the East County.

As they initially came to support and wanted to join Kant, Kant did not plan to make things difficult for them and was prepared to let them go.

As for the future, it was hard to say.

The noble commanders of the North County noble alliance army, just like the noble commanders of the East County noble alliance army, wanted to once again be independent from the army that Firentis had consolidated and returned to the North County.

However, they were simply thinking too much. They were just a bunch of captives. It was already considered merciful of Firentis not to slaughter them.

After being consolidated by Firentis, they had fought two battles together. were they planning to turn back at such a time when rumors were spreading?

Both Firentis and Kant said that they were overthinking.

What awaited them would not end well.

However, in the end.

Everything was completely disrupted by the rumor of the South County noble alliance army.

Kant was quietly thinking in the quiet room that was specially used for office use.

The previous blueprint had already disintegrated, and new blueprints were needed.

He couldn't rely on the noble families of this world.

This meant that Kant's development speed would be affected.

He could only rely on the system, and the soldiers and civilians from the worlds of "Mount and Blade".

A new empire would be built on the land of this world.

It would no longer be dominated by the population of this world, but worlds of "Mount and Blade".

Such a blueprint naturally appeared in Kant's mind.

Rumors pushed Kant to oppose the main human body of this world — the nobles and the sects.

Betrayal completely destroyed Kant's lack of trust in the nobles of this world.

Kant carefully constructed a new blueprint.

He slightly suppressed his vigorous ambition.

With the population of the worlds of "Mount and Blade" as the main body, gradually expanding and slowly encroaching on this world would undoubtedly slow down his pace of conquest.

This required new towns from the system, a large number of buildings, and a large number of residences to construct a new empire that completely belonged to Kant.

All of these required a huge amount of denars as support.

It wouldn't develop very quickly.

However, an empire that developed like this would become Kant's most solid backing.

Because there would be no betrayal.

The existence of the system would guarantee their loyalty to Kant.

What Kant needed from this world was nothing more than land.

When the empire he envisioned, with the soldiers and civilians of the world of "Mount and Blade" as the main body, grew and operated, then a problem that had been troubling Kant would be solved.

Denar!

The currency of the world of "Mount and Blade" was denar.

The population Kant got from the world through the system, and the currency they used was denar.

If Kant's new empire was successfully established in this world, then the head tax alone would bring him a huge amount of denars.

Not to mention, with the expansion of the empire, there would definitely be a business tax and factory tax.

This was a sustainable development path.

However, it would be very slow to develop.

Kant slowly finished the blueprint for the future and completely abandoned the previous idea.

A small wave could completely destroy the blueprint. What was the point of continuing to exist and implement it?

The new blueprint for the overall situation had been completed.

As long as Kant followed this blueprint and slowly implemented and advanced it, Kant would become stronger and stronger.

However, the current situation was not optimistic.

Kant had thought of such a blueprint before, not because Kant had not thought of such a blueprint, but because such a blueprint was now full of difficulties.

For example, Kant's biggest problem now was capable subordinates!

He needed more heroes!

In the previous blueprint, Kant could use the talents and noble families of this world to fill this shortage.

But now, he couldn't.

Before he successfully defeated the knight orders of the sects, no noble families would voluntarily serve him.

And after defeating those knight orders, Kant wouldn't want to hire any noble families to serve him.

His territory was already very big.

However, he had only a few heroes, and it wasn't enough.

After he successfully occupied half of the South County and Lionheart City, the situation would be even more serious.

It wouldn't even be enough to garrison the most important castles and towns.

"I can only hope that Rolf, Firentis, and Baheshtur will be able to obtain the system's 'Epic Battle' and 'Legendary Battle' comment in the upcoming battle. That way, I'll be able to obtain some honor points and use them to draw a gift pack."

After Kant finished thinking, he took out a document about the God of War, Edmund. This document recorded the battles that the War Temple had sent out between the knights and priests.

The God of War was the existence Kant had to eliminate if he wanted to take down the Dukedom of Leo and become the only ruler of the Dukedom of Leo.

Even the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, could not compare to Edmund.

After all, if the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, was willing to submit to him, it would not affect him becoming the only ruler of the Dukedom of Leo.

It was absolutely impossible for a real god to submit to a mortal.

Such a thing had never happened in this world.

Kant would not place his hopes on this.

The war between him and the God of War was unavoidable.

And this had always been Kant's greatest obstacle to his conquest of the Dukedom of Leo.

Perhaps compared to the strength of all the nobles in the Dukedom of Leo, the strength of the Sect of the God of War was slightly inferior, but against any single noble, including Cameron, it was unquestionably completely crushed.

"After all, it is a true god who has been born for seven thousand years, ignited the divine fire, and stabilized the divine personality!"

"Although it cannot be compared to those ancient gods who condensed the divine kingdom, it cannot be underestimated."

Lionheart City was a large city close to the Resniston River. It was no less than twenty miles in length and width. Its southern city wall was built close to the river.

In the middle of the southern city wall, there was a three-mile-long, three-mile-deep, concave city wall.

That was where the most prosperous dock of Lionheart City was located.

Every day, hundreds and thousands of merchant ships came or left with goods.

The most prosperous city in the Dukedom of Leo was worth of its name.

Chapter 514: The Fleets Outside of Lionheart City

On the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, the city walls were a tough barrier that required a heavy price to break through.

Of course, this was a frontal assault.

Although Baheshtur was not like Rolf, who paid attention to the losses of his troops, he would not attack openly when he could have done so.

A sneak attack was an ambush to begin with.

If not, why would Baheshtur bother to hide the traces of his fleet?

Thirty triremes and 120 sailboats were definitely a huge fleet. It was not easy to hide the traces.

Introduction to the troops that Baron Kant's subordinate was going to use them to attack Lionheart City.

Trireme: 70 people, two ballistae.

Sailboat: 35 people, no weapons.

This fleet, except for Kant's trireme, was full.

However, it was not full in the conventional sense. A horse needed to occupy three people.

Therefore, there could not be too many cavalries.

Although Kant's army did not have a large number of soldiers for this surprise attack, they were extremely elite.

Five hundred Mamlukes, heavy cavalry, elite level 5 troop class.

The Sarrandian helmets on their heads had completely covered their faces. Only their two eyes could be seen through the gaps, showing their indifference towards life, as well as their indifference towards war.

Their entire body was wrapped in a thick Sarrandian chain armor, with fine iron plates crisscrossing each other. On their chests, there was a disc-shaped heart protection mirror, which was suffused with beautiful patterns, as if it was the most precious artifact.

The meticulously woven linen robe was draped over their bodies, and even the valiant Sarrandian warhorse was draped in this light gray linen robe. However, as the horse's hooves moved, layers of iron plates crisscrossed that formed the warhorse chain armor was also faintly visible.

The heavy lances in their hand were four meters long, thick and long. No one could block their sweep, and when they charged, they could pierce through everything.

The shields of the elite cavalry in their left hands were also of excellent quality.

There was an elite scimitar hidden in its scabbard at their waist, and an even more terrifying two-handed weapon on their backs. The entire body was made of iron. The front part was meticulously carved like a flower bud, but one strike could easily cause people's brains to burst and bones to break, an iron staff with two hands that was bleeding from internal organs!

This was Mamluke's standard equipment, the strongest two-handed blunt weapon.

This was the most elite troop class.

There weren't many Mamlukes in Sarrand Sultanate! They were the strongest kings in the desert!

Then, there were 500 Vaegir Marksman, archers, and a powerful level 5 troop class.

They were top-notch archers from the Kingdom of Vaegirs, and every Vaegir Marksman was a top-notch archery master.

They wore mail armor and a pot helmet, and their expressions were resolute, giving off an intimidating aura.

They were synonymous with speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, and were adept at rain of arrows.

They were pure firepower dealers, machine guns on the battlefield. As long as they could stand firm, the enemy's front line would be destroyed by their continuous rain of arrows.

Next, 500 Ravenstern Rangers, archers, terrifying level 5 troop class.

They were top-notch archers from the Kingdom of Ravenstern. Every Ravenstern Ranger was also a top-notch archery master.

They were synonymous with stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness. What they pursued was shooting stability. They were like semi-automatic rifles, every shoot was lethal, and their arrows would shoot through enemy's head. They did not pursue the dense rain of arrows, but only pursued the goal of taking away an enemy with each arrow.

They wore mail armor that was like a light infantryman. They were covered in a linen robe, and there was an exquisite two-handed greatsword in the scabbard on their back. The white composite heavy bow belonged to the step bow. It was placed in the bow pouch on their waist. When the enemy was close to them, these rangers with superb archery skills could also pull out the two-handed greatswords on their backs, turning them into experts in close combat.

They could deal lethal long-range damage and could also engage in close combat.

There were also 500 Rhodok Sharpshooters, crossbow archers, a deadly level-5 troop class.

They were the top-notch archers from the kingdom of Rhodoks. Every Rhodok Sharpshooter was a top-notch crossbow master.

Among the long-range attack troop class, Rhodok Sharpshooters could be said to be the strongest archers. Their weapons were the strongest mass-produced heavy crossbows in the entire continent of Caradia — siege crossbows.

One could tell from the name how deadly this weapon was.

Just how powerful the siege crossbow was, it had already far surpassed the heavy crossbow, reaching a terrifying degree!

Within 50 meters, the steel crossbow arrow could directly pierce through the steel shield with the strongest defense.

Within 150 meters, it could pierce through the chain armor, causing fatal injuries to the flesh within.

Within the limit of 300 meters, it could still pierce through the inlaid iron-scale armor.

Then, there were 1,000 Rhodok Sergeants, a level 5 troop class with strong defense.

Holding a heavy halberd-like machete and carrying a broad shield on their back, Rhodok Sergeants's defense was astonishing. In close combat, they were second only to Royal Guards of Kingdom of Nords.

This was the most elite troop class 5 infantry in the entire Continent of Caradia. Their defense was even better than the Swadian Sergeant. It could even contend with the Nord Royal Guard, a troop class 6 that was rarely seen in Caradia.

Not to mention the 600 Water Bandit Minions, 400 Water Bandit Bosuns, and 200 Water Bandit Captains.

This was the weakest troop class in the army. The water bandits were only a level 2 troop class, Water Bandit Bosun a level 3 troop class, and the Water Bandit Captain was a level 4 troop class. However, under such a special environment, the water troops were indispensable.

They were extremely proficient in water battles. If they were to fight purely on water, even an infantry of a higher level might not be their match.

God knows if Kant had not directly upgraded these troop class, how could there be 200 Water Bandit Captains out of just over a thousand water bandits.

Finally, there was the most terrifying extraordinary power troop, the 200 mages,100 mage apprentices, 100 Swadian Royal Knights and 100 Sarleon Lion Knights.

The reason why Kant prepared such a powerful army was not only to attack Lionheart City, but also to defend it.

Moreover, the War Temple of God of War was the number one temple in the Dukedom of Leo, and it was in Lionheart City.

Lionheart City was built next to the Resniston River, and on the other side of the river was the southern defense line, which had gathered more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Dukedom of Leo, to defend against the Silver Platter Kingdom's invasion.

A hundred miles north was the political center of the Dukedom of Leo. The extremely powerful lion fort was also the base of Cameron, Duke of Leo.

When Kant took down Lionheart City, he would be caught in the pincer attack of Lionheart City and the south coast defense line.

In addition, the four top noble families who lost Lionheart City would definitely not give up.

Therefore, strong power was a must.

Chapter 515: The Surprise Attack After Dusk

As time approached dusk, the sky gradually darkened.

At night, apart from the occasional arrival or departure of merchant ships, there were no merchant ships loading or unloading goods.

All of this had to wait until the next day.

In this era, the productivity was very low, after all. There was no light that could illuminate the entire dock as if it was daytime. If one wanted to work at night, they could only light torches.

However, such a thing was not allowed.

The temporary warehouses on the dock and the hundreds of merchant ships on the Resniston River were all made of wood.

Once a fire broke out, no noble or business family would dare to pat their chest and say that they could afford to compensate for the heavy losses.

On the dock that was three miles long, one mile in the middle was where the navy camps of Lionheart City was located.

On the east and west sides of the navy camps, there was a mile each. That was where the docks for merchant ships to dock, load, and unload goods were located.

The defense of the entire dock area of Lionheart City was taken care of by the navy camp.

There were 2,000 soldiers in the navy camp. They were all from the top four noble families in the South County.

The safety of the docks was the only thing that could ensure the long-term prosperity of Lionheart City. Therefore, these navy soldiers were considered elites.

Of course, this was only relative to the water bandits. After all, their main duty was to drive and exterminate the water bandits.

Most of the time, the water bandits were slippery and difficult to exterminate.

Every week, the navy camp would sweep along the upstream and downstream to drive away the raging water bandits.

At the same time, they would send soldiers into the docks on both sides of the navy camp to guard and patrol.

However, over the past ten years, things had been unusually stable.

The soldiers patrolling and stationed there could at most resolve and suppress some commercial disputes or warn empty air to threaten the unscrupulous gangs at the docks. There was not even a proper battle.

Therefore, the navy soldiers who were still stationed at the dedicated sentry towers on both sides of the navy camp at night were just killing time.

Because there was nothing to do at night.

Tonight, it happened to be a new moon. The crescent moon was emitting a dim light. The world was dark and hazy. Twenty meters away, it was completely dark, and nothing could be seen.

In the tributaries near Lionheart City of the Resniston River, Baheshtur put the thumb and index finger of his right hand in his mouth. He blew hard and stopped. He whistled like a night owl and repeated this five times.

The entire fleet of 30 triremes and 120 sailboats turned into a moving shadow under the dark night and approached the Resniston River. Finally, they entered the river and moved toward Lionheart City in the east.

At the same time, in Lionheart City, near the south city wall, there was a slum area near the south city gate.

There was no doubt that the slum area was close to the dock. Only by working hard at the dock could they survive.

Some tall and strong figures came out from the dilapidated houses in the slum area one after another and slowly gathered together. They had long agreed on the gathering location.

This time was the time that Baheshtur had agreed with them.

When they gathered together, there were exactly fifty people.

They were all Sarleon Lion Knights. Other than their warhorses and heavy four-meter-long lances, they were fully equipped.

They wore a giant helmet with Sarleon feather ornaments on their heads and a linen robe on their bodies. They were wearing the best defensive equipment in the era of cold weapons. They had full-body plate armor and were equipped with a garter lion kite shield on their backs. On their waists were two weapons that they held in both hands — a silver greatsword and a spiked hammer.

Even without warhorse and lance, they were still the most powerful soldiers in the world. Their individual strength was comparable to that of the most powerful grand knights in the world. Fifty people gathered together. Even if they charged into an elite formation of a thousand infantrymen with the body of an infantryman, they would still be able to achieve a complete victory.

Talent: 1 Lion Physique: They have a special power that can increase their physical fitness by 250%. 2 Faith and Honor: They will fight like a lion in a chaotic battle, increasing their physical fitness by 50%-300% as time goes by. 3 Blood Bath: They can plunder the enemy's spirit to replenish themselves and prolong the battle time.

These were a group of people who were born for the battlefield. The other army that fought against them on the battlefield would fall into a terrible nightmare.

They were able to appear neatly in the slums of Lionheart City because Lionheart City was the largest trading city in the Dukedom of Leo.

The daily flow of people and the throughput of goods were incomparably huge.

As long as they threatened one or two trade caravan that frequently entered Lionheart City, hid their armor, helmets, shields, and weapons among the thick goods, and disguised themselves as the guards of the trade caravan, they would be able to easily sneak into Lionheart City.

Such a trade caravan was not only familiar with the soldiers on guard, but they also had paid enough bribe. The goods they transported were all the same, so most of the soldiers who inspected the goods on their carriage were just putting on an act, and it was done carelessly.

It was impossible to discover the armor, helmets, shields, and weapons of the Sarleon Lion Knights hidden among the goods.

As for the Sarleon Lion Knights who were acting as guards, they would not even look at them.

They were dealing with the leader of the trade caravan. As for the guards, were they qualified to let the rich city gate of the Dukedom of Leo inspect the soldiers and waste time to observe them carefully?

Although Lionheart City was close to the Resniston River, there was a southern defense line to prevent the Silver Platter Kingdom from invading.

In the north, there was a castle called the Lion Fort. The ruler of the Dukedom of Leo, Cameron, was based in the Lion Fort, and no one dared to offend him.

The Lionheart City itself had tens of thousands of elite troops from the four top noble families in the South County. The walls were tall and thick.

Who would dare to attack Lionheart City?

Hence, the inspection of Lionheart City was really lax.

Lionheart City was more than 20 miles in length and width. It was the largest city in the Dukedom of Leo.

On the east, south, west, and north walls, there was a city gate. Each city gate was guarded by a top noble from the South County.

Each city gate was extremely wide, more than 20 meters wide.

Lionheart City was built according to the standards of a trading city. The wide city gates were good for the carriage to enter and exit.

Above the city gates, there were city towers and arrow towers. They could guard over 200 soldiers at the same time.

On both sides of the city walls, there were also wide roads. They could send soldiers to defend from above.

Even though Lionheart City was a trading city, if someone dared to attack, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

However, normally, the private armies of the four noble families in the South County would only send 200 soldiers to guard the city towers and arrow towers.

That was enough.

Chapter 516: The Relaxed Navy Camp

A sailboat carrying Rhodok Sharpshooter quietly approached the north bank of the Resniston River under the cover of the night.

They arrived near the dock on the west side of the navy camp.

Following that, they directly used their powerful siege crossbows on the oar sailboat and aimed at the Navy soldiers on sentry towers near the dock.

Shhtaab! Shhtaab! Shhtaab!

The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh wasn't very loud.

However, the scene was extremely messy and bloody.

The heads of the dozens of navy soldiers on sentry towers fell from their necks almost at the same time.

The terrifying city-attacking crossbows exploded with terrifying power within a distance of 100 meters.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The heads of the sentries fell to the ground of the sentry tower, making a sound.

The sentries fell to the ground of the tower one after another.

They also made muffled sounds.

They couldn't travel far.

Rhodok Sharpshooters was an extremely powerful level 5 sniper. In terms of killing ability, they were even stronger than the Ravenstern Rangers.

Every shot was accurate!

In this late night, the porters, supervisors, and gangsters who had worked hard for a day on the dock all fell asleep.

Even the merchant ships on the river were pitch-black.

A dark shadow approached along the waterway that the merchant ships had specially opened to enter and exit.

Thirty triremes and one hundred and twenty sailboats.

Compared to the huge merchant ships, they were really petite and exquisite.

If they were neatly arranged on the Resniston River and sailed together, they would naturally be a large group of fleets.

However, it was nothing when they were integrated into the hundreds and thousands of huge merchant ships near the port of Lionheart City.

Even at night, there would occasionally be merchant ships that arrived at the port outside Lionheart City.

The 150 triremes and sailboats slowly approached the docks.

There was a slight sound of water breaking.

However, it did not attract much attention.

Even if there were people lying on the deck of many merchant ships, dozing off, they were still guarding the cargo on the deck.

Who could be bothered to stare at the pitch-black surface of the Resniston River?

As long as the goods on their own merchant ships did not make any noise and were not stolen during the night, everything would be peaceful.

Baron Kant's army was absolutely elite.

They slowly made their way to the dock of Lionheart City in the dark, but they were extremely quiet.

Even the hooves of warhorse were covered with several layers of coarse linen. When they stepped onto the dock from the ship, they would not make a loud sound.

There were 500 Mamlukes, 500 Vaegir Marksmen, 500 Ravenstern Rangers, 500 Rhodok Sharpshooter and 1000 Rhodok Sergeants.

A total of 3,000 soldiers, all were level 5 troop class.

All of them silently boarded the dock of Lionheart City.

Finally, Baheshtur led 50 Swadian Royal Knights and also boarded the dock of Lionheart City.

Then, they silently moved towards the south gate of Lionheart City.

The sailors who were dozing on the watchtower on the road were all killed by the terrifying Rhodok Sharpshooters.

And on the triremes and sailboats, there were still some water bandits and Baron Kant.

There were also powerful mage troop, 50 Swadian Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights.

The fleet moved silently from the dock like a shadow once again, moving towards the east in the passage that the merchant ships had specially cleared out.

Their target was the navy camp.

Baron Kant was entrusted a heavy task to Baheshtur. After they took down the south gate of Lionheart City, they would occupy the navy camp on the dock of Lionheart City.

This way, they could connect Lionheart City's dock with the water bandits' lair in the East County's Sargoth Castle.

When the occupied Lionheart City was caught in a pincer attack from the north and the south, they could obtain a water supply line.

In terms of battle strength on water, the water bandits of the Continent of Caradia who were proficient in water battles were stronger the rabble of water bandits in this world.

In fact, the water bandits in the water bandits' lair often did some siege and pillage in the Continent of Caradia.

They were not just water bandits in the sense that they could not be regarded as a mob.

In the Continent of Caradia, these water bandits were the bandit groups formed by the Nords, the Swadians, and the Vaegirs.

They were once the secret agents of the Nords' invasion.

In their most glorious times, they assisted the main forces of the Nords to destroy the Continent of Caradia, the famous neutral city of Zendar. However, after the destruction of Zendar, they were all killed and banished after they fulfilled their functions. They were forcibly disbanded by the Nords and eventually became the bandits on both sides of the river. They harassed the kingdoms on both sides of the river. Even their former employer, the Kingdom of Nords, suffered greatly from them.

At this moment, the water bandits under Kant were much stronger than when they were in Caradia.

Among the 1,200 water bandits, there were 600 Water Bandit Minions, 400 Water Bandit Bosuns, and 200 Water Bandit Captains.

In addition, there were 200 mages, 100 mage apprentices, 50 Swadian Knights, and 50 Sarleon Lion Knights under Kant's control.

With such a powerful force, it was naturally easy to deal with 2,000-man water troops of Lionheart City.

These 2,000-man water troops of Lionheart City were not elites. They were just relying on their numbers and organizational structure to drive away the rabble of water bandits in the upper and lower reaches of the river.

The truly elite soldiers of the Dukedom of Leo were all trained into powerful heavy cavalry.

In Lionheart City, 50 Sarleon Lion Knights gathered together and silently made their way to the south gate of Lionheart City.

The south gate of Lionheart City was guarded by a private army of a top noble family in the Dukedom of Leo's South County.

There were 3000-man troops stationed there all year round.

Apart from the city gate tower, there were also 200 soldiers stationed in the arrow tower.

The rest of the soldiers were in the barracks near the south city gate.

The south city gate was the most lucrative city gate in Lionheart City. All the goods that passed through the dock had to enter and leave Lionheart City through the south city gate.

Hence, the private army of the noble family that could guard the south city gate came from the strongest of the four top-ranked counts in the South County.

Count Simon Prynne.

Above the gate tower of the south city gate of Lionheart City.

"Ah ~ ~ ~"

Yawn!

A soldier yawned. His eyes were a little hazy and full of sleepiness.

In the past, he was also an elite soldier. However, after staying on the gate tower of the south city gate of Lionheart City for several years, his sharpness was gradually worn away. Now, he was just wasting his time here.

He had no connections and background, so he could only be assigned here to guard the city gate. It was not a good thing for soldiers like them to patrol the south area of Lionheart City during the day.

The truly rich and powerful ones were still enjoying the gentle breasts of the maids in the tavern of Lionheart City!

Who would stand guard here?

Chapter 517: Skilled Special Combat Infiltration

The soldier rubbed his eyes, trying to get his spirits up. However, the tiredness made him lean against the wall. He could not help but want to fall asleep. His spirits were very low.

In any case, he was not the only one who was like this. Everyone was like this.

There were even some soldiers who had the magical ability to fall asleep while standing.

This ability made the soldier very envious. He also hoped that he could learn this ability.

On the city wall, although everyone was standing guard, not many people were really staring outside the south city wall.

Below was the dock area, and there were more than two thousand navy soldiers guarding it.

They did not believe that someone would have the courage to attack the south city gate of Lionheart City at night.

There were also not many people staring inside the south city wall.

The closest to the south city gate was the slums. They did not believe that there were poor people who dared to come to the city wall in the middle of the night without any regard for their lives. They could use the excuse of wanting to open the city gate privately to directly shoot the poor people who came.

Nothing like this had happened in more than ten years.

Everyone could be considered to be just killing time here at night and taking a small salary along the way.

There was no essential difference between a serious sentry and a lazy worker.

"Keep your spirits up, soldiers?" The commander of the sentry troop, a squad leader, said weakly.

This was just routine business.

He was afraid that someone would inform on him for not doing anything as an officer, and then took his place.

Although being the small captain of this sentry duty was not a good job, he was still a small captain. He could get 30 more small silver coins per week than ordinary soldiers.

After the small captain spoke, none of the soldiers on sentry duty paid attention to him. It was still the same.

The small captain did not speak again. He stood and even closed his eyes.

He planned to sleep for two hours first.

Then, he could sleep and snore until dawn.

Under the obscure moonlight, the 50 Sarleon Lion Knights turned into shadows and quietly arrived at the south gate tower.

The soldiers on sentry duty on the tower did not notice their arrival.

The south city wall was 10 meters high and spreading 50 meters to the east and west. The thickness of the wall was also 10 meters. This way, there would be a wide position on the wall near the city gate, so that when the enemy attacked the south gate, more soldiers would be placed on the south city wall to defend.

Below the city gate were three arched holes.

In each arched hole, there was a city gate that was six meters wide.

Besides the city gate, in each of the three arched holes, there were two soldiers stationed below each city gate.

They were the soldiers who were responsible for opening and closing the city gate. At this moment, they were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

This arched hole was much more comfortable than the city tower.

The six Sarleon Lion Knights slowly moved towards the soldiers stationed at the city gate who were sleeping on the ground in the three arched holes.

Almost at the same time, every Sarleon Lion Knights approached a soldier.

They did not use their knight swords. Instead, they held the soldier's head with both hands and twisted it hard.

Snapping… Snapping…

The sound of a broken neck was very ear-piercing in the three arched holes. In fact, it was not because the sound was loud, but because the environment was too quiet.

The six soldiers guarding the city gate died silently in their sweet dreams.

Due to the structure of the arched holes, the sound of a broken neck could not be transmitted to the top of the city tower.

In each of the arched holes, the city gate was made of two extremely heavy wooden doors.

At this moment, the two wooden doors were tightly closed. Between the two wooden doors, there were three gates.

They were all made of extremely heavy and extremely tough wood.

The six Sarleon Lion Knights quietly pulled open the gates of the city gate.

If they pulled too quickly, they would be able to open the three city gates at the same time.

However, they did not do so.

When the thick and heavy city gates were opened, the creaking sound that they made would definitely be extremely loud in this quiet night.

It would definitely cause the guards on sentry duty on the dull tower to hear the movement of the city gates.

Furthermore, when the heavy city gate opened, it would cause the entire city tower to vibrate slightly. If the soldiers felt the slight vibration frequently, they would immediately know that the city gate had been opened.

These soldiers on sentry duty were not scary, but they could shout loudly and inform the nearby barracks.

When that time came, things would be a little troublesome.

The six Sarleon Lion Knights who had pulled open the gate were standing under the city gate.

They were waiting quietly, and at the same time, they were guarding against the soldiers who suddenly rushed into the arched cave and inserted the gate again.

The other 44 Sarleon Lion Knights quietly followed the concrete steps that were built close to the city wall and slowly approached the city tower step by step.

At the same time, they quietly and slowly pulled out the knight swords on their waists without making too much noise.

Just like that, they quietly stood on the steps close to the inner wall of the south city wall of Lionheart City. As long as they took two steps, they would be able to go up to the city wall and start a massacre.

They were waiting for the signal to sound.

If they just rushed up the city wall and started a massacre, there were more than 200 soldiers stationed on the city wall. No matter how fast they killed, there would definitely be soldiers who would inform the people in the nearby barracks through loud shouts.

At that time, General Baheshtur and the others outside would not have arrived and would not be able to enter the city.

On the other hand, the private armies Count Simon. Prynne's family would surge out from the barracks and directly surround the fifty Sarleon Lion Knights.

Even if they opened the city gates and escaped, even if they could escape with their lives, Baheshtur 's plan to take down the city gates through a sneak attack would completely fail.

Therefore, they needed to wait.

Wait for Baheshtur 's signal or wait for the sentry soldiers on the city tower to give warning after they noticed Baheshtur and the others.

Then, it would be the time for them to rush up the city tower and kill wantonly.

It was also the time for the six Sarleon Lion Knights to open the city gate in the arched cave.

On the Reisneston River, 30 triremes and 120 sailboats, like shadows, quietly lurked near the navy camp of Lionheart City.

In the navy camp, there was a 30-meter wide and 200-meter long water bay that was dug out.

The warships of the navy were docked in this water bay.

On both sides of the water bay, there were some sentry towers. Behind the sentry towers were the navy camps.

At the same time, on both sides of the water bay, there was a small dock that was used to repair the warships.

At this moment, the navy camp was quiet.

The soldiers on the sentry tower were obviously similar to the guys on the south gate tower of Lionheart City.

Moreover, because there were few soldiers on sentry duty, they were even more unscrupulous.

They were also dozing off.

Kant led the water bandits, as well as his mages, mage apprentices, the Swadian Knights, and the Sarleon Lion Knight of Sarleon. They were also waiting quietly.

What he was waiting for was the earth-shattering battle cries coming from the south gate of Lionheart City.

At that time, he would be able to make his move.

If he made his move in advance, the battle cries here would definitely alarm the camp of the guards at the south gate of Lionheart City, which was three miles away.

It would affect Baheshtur 's plan to sneak attack and seize the south gate of Lionheart City.

Baheshtur 's plan was orderly and interlinked. Kant did not want Baheshtur's plan to fail because of him.

He also hoped that Baheshtur 's surprise attack on Lionheart City would be an "Epic Battle" or a "Legendary Battle" comment to obtain system honor points.

On the dock in the notch of the south city wall of Lionheart City.

Baheshtur led 50 Swadian Knights and 3,000 strong soldiers of level 5 troop class. Under the cover of the night, they slowly moved towards the south city gate.

Three thousand soldiers. Even though they were all elites, this number was still very large compared to this small dock.

Although the road leading to the south gate of Lionheart City was very wide, it was thirty meters wide for the convenience of the carriage.

However, the length of the three thousand soldiers walking on this road was still more than a hundred meters.

There was a huge black mass.

There were so many people.

Their speed couldn't be too fast.

Their footsteps had to be gentle. Otherwise, the sound of slightly heavier footsteps would be heard everywhere.

It would definitely alarm the countless people living on the dock.

Baheshtur had already issued orders to all these soldiers when he was on the ship.

With the elite level of these soldiers, they undoubtedly carried out Baheshtur's orders very well.

Even the 500 Mamlukes and 50 Royal Swadian Knights did not make too much noise because the warhorses' mouths and hooves were wrapped in coarse linen.

Along the way, the Ravenstern Rangers or the Rhodok Sharpshooters killed the drunkards that occasionally appeared on the streets, or the poor people or gangsters that were awakened by the army to investigate.

After all, there were more than 3,000 soldiers advancing. Even if their footsteps were light, they would still make some noise.

There were always some people who slept very lightly or were very easily awakened.

If they couldn't bear it and dared to come to the streets to investigate, the outcome would be very miserable.

After almost half an hour of slow progress, the south gate of Lionheart City was already very close, only a hundred meters away.

This was all thanks to the fact that tonight was the beginning of the new moon, and the moonlight was extremely dim.

It was almost pitch black twenty meters away, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Otherwise, if it was a crescent moon or a full moon, under the bright moonlight, even two hundred meters away, one could vaguely see their movement.

When they were so close to the city gate, Baheshtur ordered the troops to stop.

Of course, he did not use ordinary shouting to give the order.

Baheshtur directly imitated three dog barks, and the troops suddenly stopped.

If it was Firentis, he probably would not be willing to imitate a dog bark.

But for Baheshtur, he did not care. As long as he could win, a mere imitation of a dog barks was nothing.

Baheshtur looked at the outline of the city gate in the darkness in front of him. It was very blurry. It was really too dark tonight. The brightness of the new moon was really not much different from the absence of the moon.

Baheshtur believed that the Sarleon Lion Knights who had sneaked into Lionheart City must have completed the task that he had given them. Perhaps they had already opened up the gates of the city.

As long as he led the army to charge, he would be able to charge into the south gate of Lionheart City immediately.

However, Baheshtur did not do that.

He needed eek stability!

There was no need to be in a hurry.

Baheshtur put the thumb and index finger of his right hand into his mouth and whistled with a short pause.

He was mimicking the cry of an owl.

Baheshtur paused for about 30 seconds and mimicked it again.

The sound traveled a long distance.

In this quiet night, it was even more abrupt.

In the South County of the Dukedom of Leo, where the prosperous plains were, there were many of these birds.

They fed on voles and snakes and moved around at night.

The soldiers who were born in the South County were very familiar with this kind of bird call.

Therefore, although the bird call of the owls that moved around at night were very abrupt, they did not arouse the vigilance of the soldiers on the city wall.

No one stipulated that no owl could fly nearby, right?

Unless they were standing sentry very seriously, not letting go of any serious movements.

But obviously, this was impossible.

The signal had been sent.

If the Sarleon Knights lurking in Lionheart City did not act according to the scheduled time and had not completed his plan at this time, then Baheshtur would imitate the howls of the owl every ten minutes.

Only when the Sarleon Knights of Lionheart City completed his plan and had a corresponding response would Baheshtur lead more than 3,000 elite soldiers to charge into the south gate of Lionheart City.

The result proved that the Sarleon Lion Knights, who were a troop class 6 and comparable to the grand knights of the peak of the world, were trustworthy partners.

When Baheshtur gave the signal for the first time, there was a battle cry coming from the gate tower of Lionheart City.

At the same time, the three city gates of Lionheart City's south city gate were opened at the same time.

Then, six torches were lit in the three arched tunnels at the south city gate of Lionheart City.

Baheshtur was excited, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes.

He directly roared, "Order: all troops raise fire!"

Now, there was no need to hide anymore!

He directly charged in!

In this pitch-black night, a light source was a must.

Otherwise, if they were to march rapidly in the dark, it was very likely that they would be trampled by their comrades to death.

Every soldier, be it Mamlukes, Vaegir Marksmen, the Ravenstern Rangers, the Rhodok Sharpshooters, or the Rhodok Sergeants, all took down the torches on their waists and held them in their hands.

Even the Swadian Knights did the same.

Every squad leaders carried a flint.

In a short period of time, the entire army lit up the fire. More than three thousand torches burned fiercely.

The only person in the entire army who did not hold torches was Baheshtur.

Baheshtur rode on a warhorse and was at the front of the entire army.

At this moment, he pulled out the knight sword at his waist, raised it towards the sky, and shouted loudly, "Soldiers, follow me and charge in, exterminate the south city gate barracks!"

As he spoke, Baheshtur led the charge, but of course, his speed was only medium.

"Kill!"

Three thousand level 5 elite troop class soldiers all responded loudly.

The Royal Swadian Knights and Mamlukes all followed Baheshtur and galloped.

One thousand Rhodok Sergeants followed closely behind the cavalries, holding torches as they trotted forward.

Five hundred Vaegir Marksmen followed closely behind Rhodok Sergeants were also holding torches as they trotted forward.

Five hundred Rhodok Sharpshooters followed behind the Vaegir Marksmen, also holding torches as they trotted forward.

Finally, there were 500 Ravenstern Rangers. As they were proficient in both long-range attacks and battles, they were purposely arranged to be at the back.

At this moment, they were only 100 meters away from the south gate of Lionheart City. The barracks of the south gate was just below the walls on both sides of the city gate. On one side, there were 1500 of Count Simon. Prynne's family private soldiers.

Chapter 519: Massacre After Encirclement

At this moment, it was time to rush into the city as quickly as possible. Before the 3,000 guards at the south city gate could react, they were all trapped in the barracks.

Surround and kill!

The 3,000 guards at the south city gate of Lionheart City were all the elite private army of the top noble, Count Simon. Prynne's family.

Of course, they were not the most elite. They most elite soldiers were all in Count Simon. Prynne's castle.

The 3,000 soldiers guarding the south gate of Lionheart City were made up of 1,000 infantrymen, 1,000 archers and 1,000 heavy cavalries.

In the barracks on each side of the south gate, there were three types of troop class, each with 500 soldiers.

In fact, eleven years ago, when Count Simon. Prynne and the other three top noble families of the South County joined hands to seize control of Lionheart City from the hands of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, the 3,000 soldiers sent here could be considered as elite soldiers.

However, 11 years later, their title was already unworthy of its name.

Prosperity was intoxicating.

Not to mention, it was the most prosperous city in the entire Dukedom of Leo.

They helped guard the south gate of Lionheart City, which was the most profitable of the four gates.

For 11 years, there was no war.

They spent their days dealing with trade caravan, local ruffians, gangsters, and the poor. Most of the soldiers were frequent customers of the various taverns in the southern district of Lionheart City. They also spent many sexy nights in those taverns.

They were the local tyrants of the entire southern district of Lionheart City.

They lived a comfortable life.

After 11 years of such a comfortable life, other than the army's name not changing, there were no elite aura of the past left in them.

Logically speaking, there should be 3,000 soldiers stationed in the barracks at this time.

However. there were at most 2,400 to 5,000 soldiers.

The ones that absent were commanders.

They either spent the night with the noble ladies in the eastern district, got drunk in the tavern in the southern district, or enjoyed the gentleness of the poor girls in the small hotels.

To Count Simon. Prynne, this army was not very important.

It was enough as long as it existed.

This way, he could ensure that he would continue to occupy the profits quota of Lionheart City.

After all, his base was not Lionheart City.

Lionheart City was just a place where he earned golden eagles and great silver coins.

As long as this garrison army could collect sufficient wealth for him every month, he did not care whether they were depraved or not. He did not rely on this army to protect his castle and manor.

Thus, when Baheshtur surrounded the two barracks with his entire army, not only were there only 1,200 soldiers in each of the two barracks, but they were also extremely chaotic and disorganized.

After all, most of the commanders were missing, and they were awakened from their sweet dreams.

After more than ten years of comfort and enjoyment, they had already forgotten how to calmly deal with such a terrifying sudden change.

In the orderly barracks, soldiers in disheveled clothes ran out from time to time.

Some of the soldiers saw the terrifying army surrounded by thousands of torches, and they were so scared that they lost control of their bowels.

The arrows of those archers, under the light of the fire, were too terrifying.

Many of the soldiers desperately hid back in the barracks and became ostriches.

They consoled themselves so that they might be able to escape this calamity.

Perhaps they could become captives. Although their fate was miserable, they would still be alive.

However, they were all too naive.

Baheshtur had no intention of keeping any captives.

Of course, this wasn't because Baheshtur was particularly cruel and cold. But if one had to put it this way, there wasn't much of a problem.

It was because he had brought too few soldiers.

Yes, there were too few soldiers.

Although they were all elites, there were only about three thousand soldiers.

Baheshtur's strategic goal this time was to take down the entire Lionheart City.

After taking down the south city gate, there were still three other city gates.

Even if all four city gates were taken down, there was still the noble district, the Association of Mages, and the War Temple.

How could there be any extra soldiers to guard the captives?

"Their performance is even worse than what I've investigated!"

"Looks like we don't need to use fire attacks anymore!"

"Although these guys are trash, their barracks are still pretty good. We can leave them for our soldiers to guard."

Seeing such a situation, Baheshtur had a plan in his heart.

Baheshtur was a little excited as he said loudly, "Rhodok Sergeants, maintain the encirclement posture and slowly push forward. Shrink the encirclement!"

"Archers, shoot freely! Anyone who dares to show their face, let them go to hell!"

"Swadian Royal Knights, guard the main road in the city. Kill anyone who tries to cross the boundary!"

"Sarleon Lion Knights, guard the city gate. If there are any escaping navy soldiers, kill them all!"

Following that, Baheshtur lowered his voice and said, "No need to leave anyone alive! We don't need captives!"

This voice was only heard by his own troops. The soldiers at the south gate of Lionheart City, who were in a mess, did not hear it.

The way Baheshtur and Firentis gave their orders was obviously different. His orders carried extremely strong personal emotions, and the words were not overly refined.

Baheshtur did not care about such details. He still needed to ensure that his orders could be understood by the soldiers under him and executed correctly.

He was too lazy to give orders and needed to think of concise and smooth words.

Those things could not guarantee victory in the war.

The defending troops on the south city wall of Lionheart City had paid a heavy price for their depravity.

They ran around the barracks in disorder. Even the Vaegir Marksmen did not have to shoot in unison to waste arrows. Instead, they shot like the Rhodok Sharpshooters and the Ravenstern Rangers.

Occasionally, there would be a small group of soldiers wearing neat armor and holding a round shield, trying to break out of the encirclement formed by the Rhodok Sergeants.

However, the siege crossbows of the Rhodok Sharpshooters had let them turn into ghosts.

A mere round shield made of iron. At a distance of dozens of meters, the siege crossbows in the hands of the Rhodok Sharpshooters could shoot through five pieces in one shot.

Those who broke out of the encirclement all ended up dead.

It made the soldiers in the barracks at the south gate of Lionheart City sink into despair.

It also completely crushed their courage.

No one dared to come out of the barracks anymore.

Because they discovered that if someone in the same barracks showed his head at the entrance of the barracks, he would immediately be pierced through the head by an arrow and die.

It was really too terrifying.

The smell of blood filled the entire barracks.

Some of the garrison soldiers cried out in despair, but they still could not escape death.

Rhodok Sergeants had already forced their way to the entrance of the barracks.

On both sides of the south gate of Lionheart City, the two barracks each had five rows of barracks, and each row had 15 barracks.

Usually, each barracks had twenty soldiers living in it.

Chapter 520: Mages Cleaning the Camps

"Charge in! Don't leave anyone alive!"

Baheshtur ordered coldly.

Rhodok Sergeants, who were in front, raised their broad shields to cover their entire bodies and charged into the barracks.

In the barracks, the guards at the south gate of Lionheart City were all trembling in fear.

Some of them had not fully equipped themselves up until now.

In fact, they didn't even have the thought of putting on their armor or weapons.

They naively waited in this room for the enemy's order to surrender.

However, what they were waiting for was the cold-blooded Rhodok Sergeants and the level 5 archers or crossbow masters.

The powerful army from the Continent of Caradia slowly advanced in the barracks at the south gate of Lionheart City.

They crushed over a row of barracks after another row.

Mercilessly, they killed them all.

Half an hour later, the south gate of Lionheart City fell into the hands of Baheshtur's army.

The more than 2,400 soldiers in the barracks at the south gate were all killed mercilessly.

Baheshtur gathered his army.

"Pass down the order: Rhodok Sergeant 1st squad, Vaegir Marksman1st squad, Ravenstern Ranger 1st squad, Rhodok Sharpshooters 1st squad, defend the south gate of Lionheart City."

Following Baheshtur's order, these squads separated from the main force.

Each squad had 50 people, and Baheshtur only left 200 people to guard the south gate.

Although there were only 200 people, they were all elite level-5 troop class.

Each of them had the strength that surpassed this world's peak knights, and were only slightly inferior to grand knights.

"Order: Archers and crossbowmen, go up to the city gate and defend!"

"Order: Rhodok Sergeants, guard the city gate below the city gate in the arched cave!"

"Apart from our army and the troops led by His Highness Kant, kill anyone who dares to approach the south city gate!"

One hundred and fifty archers and crossbowmen.

Taking advantage of the city gate, their defensive ability was without a doubt.

Fifty Rhodok Sergeants guarding the three city gates was absolutely flawless.

Through Baheshtur's investigation of Lionheart City's military strength, he was clear that after destroying the guards at the south gate, 200 elite level 5 troop class soldiers guarding the south gate was enough.

To take back the south gate of Lionheart City from these 200 terrifying soldiers, they needed at least 3,000 elite troops, regardless of life or death.

"The rest of the troop listen up!"

"Follow me and attack the North Gate of Lionheart City!"

Baheshtur chose to continue attacking the north gate at night because he had carefully considered the strength of Lionheart City.

The east gate of Lionheart City needed to pass through the noble district in the eastern district of Lionheart City.

There were many private noble armies in the noble district. The news of the south gate falling had definitely reached the noble district. Those nobles might be prepared to fight, so it would be difficult to capture them at night.

Moreover, the noble district was under the influence of Cameron, Duke of Leo, in Lionheart City. The power he had set up there could not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Association of Mages was also in the noble district of the eastern district. Baheshtur intended to hand over the masters of these extraordinary powers to the mages on his side to deal with.

The west gate of Lionheart City had similar problems.

The first temple of the God of War was located in the western district. There were sacrificial groups and knight orders in the temple. This was also a tough nut to crack. It had to be handled carefully.

Only the north gate of Lionheart City, like the south gate, had only 3,000-man garrison troops. There was no need to deal with additional troops.

After the battle with the garrison troops at the south gate, Baheshtur already knew what the quality of the garrison troops at the four gates were.

Not to mention a sneak attack at night, even if it was a formal assault, he could easily capture them with the elite condition of his troops.

Kant led the water bandits and quietly hid near the Lionheart City navy camps on the Resniston River.

When the sky suddenly turned red near the south gate of Lionheart City, Kant directly gave the order, "Order: Mage apprentice team one, cast a magic ball spell and destroy all the soldiers on the sentry towers!"

Kant saw that the red in the sky. It was formed by Baheshtur's order for the entire army to light up the sky above them with more than 3000 torches.

This was the signal for Baheshtur's official attack to begin.

It was also the attack opportunity that Kant had been waiting for.

As Kant gave the order, the 50 mage apprentices from the first team cast magic bullets at the same time, 50 magic balls that were glowing with white light rose into the air.

These magic balls looked very gentle, but their power could not be underestimated.

Their range was 100 meters, and their power was no less than the arrows fired by the level 4 troop class archers.

Arrows were penetrative attacks, but magic bullets were explosive attacks.

In the navy camp, a 200-meter long and 30-meter wide bay extended into the river.

On both sides of the bay and the river, there were five sentry towers.

In each watchtower, there were 10 soldiers on guard duty.

Of course, they were all dozing off. None of them were on guard and watched over the river carefully.

The magic balls fired by the mage apprentices were all aimed at a soldier on guard duty.

The 50 magic balls that were emitting white light split into two groups and flew east and west.

"Bang!"

At almost the same time, the 50 magic balls struck the dozing sentry soldiers, causing serious wounds on their bodies.

The sentry soldiers who were hit in the head by the magic balls did not have any reaction. Half of their heads were directly blown off by the magic balls, and they were dead.

As for the sentry soldiers who were hit in other parts of their bodies by the magic balls, a big hole was directly blown out of their bodies, and fresh blood gushed out like spring water.

The intense pain woke them up from their sleep, and they immediately let out an extremely tragic cry.

This cry spread far and wide, waking up most of the soldiers in the navy camp.

Although these soldiers were not elites, they would attack every week to drive away the water bandits on the upper and lower reaches of the river. Therefore, their reaction to the sudden change was much better than the soldiers at the south gate who were once much more elite than them.

When these navy soldiers heard the screams of the sentries, they realized that something must have happened.

They quickly put on their equipment and weapons before leaving the camps to find out what had happened.

Kant wanted to destroy the sentry soldiers first because he didn't want the them to shoot from above the tower during the battle.

Chapter 521: The Legendary Victory

Although mages were powerful, they were cloth-wearing profession after all. Their defense against bows and arrows was very low. If a few of them were accidentally killed by the sentries, it wouldn't be worth it.

Baheshtur's war plan had already mentioned the military strength of these navy soldiers.

In Kant's opinion, it didn't matter if they were startled or not.

Because, no matter what, the army he led had an overwhelming advantage over the water army.

The navy soldiers were well-equipped. When they came out of the barracks, they immediately discovered that there was a shadow entrenched on the river.

"What's that?"

"Could it be a night attack by water bandits?"

However, Kant didn't give them too much time to investigate.

At this moment, Kant didn't order the entire army to light torches and illuminate the surroundings like Baheshtur did.

Because he didn't need to.

He had never thought about the battle plan to capture the navy camp. He had never thought that he would need to have his soldiers engage in close combat with the soldiers.

The mages weren't just for show.

"Order: All mages, cast a spell — Nature Summon! Summon the golems to the navy camp!"

Kant directly gave the order

Nature Summon was to communicate with the Earth Elemental Plane of this world and summon the golem.

The golem was made of stone and was created by the mage tower's golems, not the natural earth elemental giants.

Therefore, their activity required the magic patterns and gems that were carved and inlaid on the surface to maintain themselves. However, it was still an elemental body and did not have any flesh and blood weaknesses. It also did not have the limitation of morale and intelligence. It only listened to the mages' commands and was extremely valiant on the battlefield, it could withstand several times the flesh and blood creatures.

With the ability of the mages, one Nature Summon could summon five golems.

After receiving Kant's order, the 200 mages cast their spells one after another.

A thousand golems appeared in the navy camp.

Every golem was hard to hurt with a sword and had immense strength. However, their actions were somewhat stiff and clumsy.

They could directly fight against the level 5 troop class of the Continent of Caradia, and even crush them in terms of defense and strength.

This was the power of mages.

Mysterious and powerful.

The appearance of a thousand golems in the navy camp was undoubtedly a nightmare for the navy soldiers of Lionheart City.

"Mages, listen up: Command the golems and kill them directly. No captives are needed!" Kant continued to speak coldly.

A thousand golems instantly wreaked havoc in the navy camp.

They did not rely on their vision to determine their targets.

The darkness did not affect them at all.

The golems obeyed the mages' orders and began to kill mercilessly. Their methods were extremely cruel and ruthless.

They slapped anyone they saw. Their strength was incomparable. A slap was no less powerful than a level-5 soldier using a blunt weapon.

Those who were hit by the golems would either have their heads blown off and die instantly, or they would be severely injured and barely survive.

One by one, their bones and tendons were broken, and they spat out mouthfuls of blood. They fell to the ground and convulsed, waiting for death to come.

They died at the hands of the golems, and the way they died could be described as extremely miserable and bloody.

Blood splattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The scene was far more terrifying than being killed by swords or bows.

At this moment, the navy camp was pitch black, and only a few places would occasionally emit flames.

However, the flames had only appeared for a short while before they were quickly extinguished. At the same time, mournful wails could be heard.

Within the navy camp, a field of mournful wails filled the air, and the horrible cries were transmitted to the dock.

Facing the impenetrable stone golems that had immense strength and showed no mercy, the navy soldiers of Lionheart City ushered in a terrifying doomsday.

There were navy soldiers that ran towards the warships in the bay. When they arrived near the bay, they would be easily killed by the leader of the water bandits.

The strong smell of blood gradually spread out.

It connected with the smell of blood at the south gate of Lionheart City.

The entire dock area was covered in the pungent smell of blood.

The screams at the navy camp and the south gate woke up all the people who were sleeping in the dock area. Even on the Resniston River, on the hundreds and thousands of merchant ships, everyone had woken up.

Among them were merchants, poor people, gang leaders, gangsters, and even the noble families from other countries.

There were all kinds of people, but at this moment, deep in their hearts, they were filled with the same emotion, fear.

The smell of blood was too strong, too frightening.

The screams beside their ears were too miserable, too terrifying.

The flames outside the south city gate, the screams, and the screams from the navy camp in between them all indicated that these two places were in the midst of an extremely intense battle.

An army had directly launched a sneak attack on these two places.

At this moment, they didn't know if the sneak attack camp could defeat the garrison troops and navy of Lionheart City, or if the garrison troops and navy of Lionheart City could directly wipe out the enemy.

This was related to their future, and even their lives.

No one knew how the sneak attack camp would treat them if they won.

Some people mustered up their courage and went to the south gate of Lionheart City, wanting to secretly investigate the situation.

However, when such people approached the south gate of Lionheart City, what awaited them were sharp and fatal arrows.

Their deaths greatly shocked the crowd on the dock. No one dared to recklessly investigate the current situation at the south gate of Lionheart City.

On the river, there were also some daring merchants who drove their merchant ships to the river opposite the navy camp. They wanted to investigate the battle at the navy camp.

Kant had expected such a situation, so he had given the order.

All the ships that dared to approach were destroyed.

When such ships approached Baron Kant's fleet.

On the trireme, they unceremoniously fired terrifying ballistae, causing heavy damage to the merchant ships. Some of them were directly shot down.

As for those merchant ships that did not sink, there were powerful Water Bandit Captains in the water. They directly pierced through the bottom of their ships, cutting large holes.

This caused the river water in the river to flow into it without any hindrance.

Sinking was the only outcome for the ships that dared to test Kant's fleet.

This effectively intimidated all the merchant ships.

They did not dare to disturb Kant's fleet anymore.

Baron Kant gave the order to launch an attack before Baheshtur led his troops to attack the camp at the south gate of Lionheart City.

However, although the golems were powerful, their movements were slightly slow and stiff.

Therefore, their efficiency was slightly slower than the army led by Baheshtur

When Baheshtur completely massacred the barracks at the south gate, the 1,000 golems also massacred all the navy soldiers in the navy camp.

Of course, some navy soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape to the dock area from the other exits of the navy camp.

The number was not particularly large, only around 200 of them.

Among them, there were another 100 or so who were frantically fleeing towards the south gate of Lionheart City.

They were heading towards the gates of Hell.

[ Ding… your subordinates have wiped out all the enemy troops with zero casualties. They have seized a large city gate and captured an enemy camp at the same time. ]

[ Evaluation acquired: Legendary Victory. ]

[ Ding… you have wiped out almost all the enemy troops with zero casualties and occupied an enemy barracks. ]

Just as the battle ended, two system messages popped up on Kant's retina.

Chapter 522: The Surprise Attack Came to A Perfect End

"Very good, I've actually received two war comment that can give me honor points!"

Kant saw the words on his retina, and his heart was incomparably happy.

One epic victory, one legendary victory.

A total of 12 honor points reward.

It was enough for him to draw 12 system gift packs.

"Pass down the order, have the soldiers return to the battleship, and at the same time send out soldiers to stand guard."

"If there are any merchant ships that dare to spy on our army, sink them!"

Kant directly gave the order.

From the system prompt, he already knew that the two battles were ended.

The night was very dark, and it was not a good time to deal with the battlefield.

In Baheshtur's war plan, the surprise attack could be considered a success.

The rest would have to wait until tomorrow.

After Kant gave the order, the Water Bandit Bosuns and Water Bandit Captains who had sneaked into the river returned to their warships.

The fleet was quietly docked on the river near the navy camp. It was like a ferocious beast crawling in the darkness. Although it was quiet, it was very dangerous.

If any merchant ships dared to approach from the river, they would definitely be killed.

The water bandits were all professionals in doing such things.

Next, it was the lottery that Kant had been looking forward to for a long time.

Hopefully, he would be able to draw one or two heroes this time.

Kant even washed his hands for this, hoping to get some good luck.

His plan had already changed, and he no longer intended to use the noble of this world to serve him.

Instead, he would use the characters from the world of "Mount and Blade" to serve him.

These people were summoned from the Continent of Caradia by the system. Regardless of whether they were soldiers or heroes, they had a constant loyalty to him.

He never had to worry about them defecting.

What they looked like when they were in Caradia, what kind of personality they had, when the system summoned them, they didn't change much.

The only change was their constant loyalty to him, Baron Kant.

This, in Kant's view, was much more important than other qualities.

If a subordinate was not loyal enough, the greater his ability, the higher Kant's appointment to him, then once he rebelled, the greater the damage to Kant.

Therefore, among all the qualities, loyalty ranked first.

Among the characters summoned by the system, the heroes' abilities were undoubtedly the strongest.

This did not mean their combat ability, but their talent.

Every hero had their own unique political views and military thinking. Their vision was very far-sighted compared to ordinary soldiers.

To put it in a more imposing manner, it was about their vision and structure.

Even on the Continent of Caradia, these superior heroes could not be compared to ordinary soldiers or even noble families.

Moreover, most importantly, although the system could not directly level up heroes, they themselves had very strong growth potential.

This growth was formed after they joined Kant's forces, under the influence of their constant loyalty to Kant, and after a long period of training with Kant's team.

Simply put, every hero would eventually become a powerful individual under Kant's command because of their ability to grow.

Their achievements would far surpass their time in the Continent of Caradia.

Of course, not only would heroes grow, but even soldiers would grow as well. However, their growth was more reflected in the advancement of the troop class, increasing their pure combat ability.

Although their knowledge and accomplishments would increase greatly when they were promoted to a high-level up soldier, if they did not continue to level up, they would basically be like that, as though they had already been set in stone.

It was just like how Kant had once sent 10 Sarrandian Horsemen to watch over the spy he had supported, the merchant Borg, a young clan leader of a down and out business clan in the East County.

The 10 Sarrandian Horsemen had almost completely become Borg's henchmen. Although they were loyal to Kant and did not betray him, they were almost completely toyed with by Borg.

In truth, the strength of the Sarrandian Horseman was not inferior to the level of peak knights in this world. If they were the 10 knights in this world, Borg would only become a puppet in their hands.

However, the outcome made Kant almost disappointed.

Borg not only became a successful businessman in the East County, traded with Dukedom of Leo and the Silver Platter Kingdom with the sugar Kant provided, but he even wanted to betray Kant under the surveillance of the ten Sarrandian Horsemen

Moreover, if Kant did not personally go to Borg's family, it would be difficult for him to discover this.

Kant didn't blame the ten Sarrandian Horsemen.

Because he himself had sent them to monitor and intimidate Borg.

However, after that lesson, Kant realized the flaws of these system soldiers.

On the battlefield, they were invincible, but their abilities seemed to be limited on the battlefield. If they were given too complicated a task, they would be at a loss.

Of course, this was not an absolute.

As soldiers leveled up, their own accomplishments in all aspects were astonishing.

When soldiers reached level up to the troop class 5, their performance in other aspects was no less than that of ordinary people.

If they reached level 6, their knowledge was no less than that of some small noble.

Therefore, when Kant replaced the person who was monitoring Borg with five Sarleon Lion Knights, Borg became a loyal dog in his hands.

Borg no longer had any means, nor did he have the strength to stir up any waves.

Even now, when Kant had been directly pushed to the opposite side by the noble and religious sects of this world because of a rumor, Borg, who had once wanted to betray him, still obediently served him.

If Borg dared to make any unusual moves, he would immediately be killed by the Sarleon Lion Knights who were "protecting" him.

His money, connections, and trade routes would immediately be seized by Kant.

Unfortunately, even if a level 6 troop class had the knowledge of a little noble, they were still soldiers. They did not know how to do business at all.

However, this did not delay Kant's plan. In his empire's blueprint, these level 6 troop class soldiers were positioned as a little noble and a little lord to enrich his empire's territory.

Kant knew that these level 6 troop class soldiers were qualified for such positions.

If they were not qualified for higher-level positions, Kant would target the heroes of the "Mount and Blade" world.
