Lord of the Oasis

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.
