Lord of the Oasis

The 10 Sarleon Lion Knights quickly found the other 10 Sarleon Lion Knights that Kant had appointed as scouts. They were all knocked unconscious and hid in the barracks.

Unlike those noble knights who could not be woken up, these 10 Sarleon Lion Knights were jolted awake by their comrades.

The black-armored knight did not kill them as Kant had expected.

Very quickly, Baheshtur set up the defense of the east city gate of Lionheart City.

There were also only 200 soldiers, 150 archers and 50 Rhodok Sergeants.

They were all level 5 troop class, and their coordination were perfect for defending the city.

However, with 200 soldiers at the south city gate of Lionheart City and the north city gate of Lionheart City, they should be able to defend. Even if they faced two-to-three-thousand-man siege troop, they would be able to hold on until Kant sent reinforcements.

But at the east city gate, the situation was hard to say.

This was the noble district. Their strength was really strong.

“Lord, I can only deploy these garrison troops at the east city gate.”

Baheshtur said as he reported to Kant.

“The War Temple’s strength is unknown. We cannot deploy too many troops above the garrison.”

Kant nodded. He glanced at the noble district of the Eastern District and said, “We can only attack the west city gate and then make a fuss!”

Then, Kant did not delay and directly led the army toward the Western District.

The plan today was to attack the east city gate and then coerce the noble district to appease the nobles. But now, these nobles were all in a deep sleep. As for when they would wake up, it completely depended on the settings made by the grand mage who had cast the Mind Imprisonment on them.

Of course, there was no way to coerce and appease them.

Kant led the army to the west. With the existence of the mages, they cast some acceleration spells to speed up the walking army, making Kant’s marching speed very fast.

The originally sunny weather suddenly became gloomy.

Kant raised his head to look at the sky. Unknowingly, the sun had been blocked by thick dark clouds.

On both sides of the East Main Road, neatly planted purple-shirted trees were rustling in the strong wind. At the same time, their branches were shaking violently.

Dark clouds were hanging down and the strong wind was blowing.

“It’s going to rain!”

At this moment, Kant led his army and was about to reach the central area of Lionheart City. The pedestrians on the road had returned because of Kant’s army. Most of them hid in the surrounding buildings again, not daring to show their heads.

Only a few people dared to stand by the roadside and observe Kant’s army. They even pointed at them.

After all, Kant did not do anything to them when he passed by earlier.

“Everyone halts!”

“Mages, listen up. Cast ‘Sharp Golden Blade’ and ‘Group Acceleration’ on all the knights!”

Kant suddenly gave an order!

Hearing Kant’s order, the mages quickly cast a ‘Sharp Metal Blade’ spell on all the knights. Then, they cast a ‘Group Acceleration’ spell on the knights. Then, they retreated back to their original team.

Group Acceleration. There was no need to explain. It was a spell that increased group speed.

Sharp Metal Blade was a status buff spell.

The spell that the mages cast to increase the status of the surrounding soldiers was about 10 meters in radius. After casting it, the magic elements would gather on the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, making the blades, spears, and other melee weapons sharper, it would cause more casualties to the enemy.

Immediately after, Kant ordered the cavalries to arrange themselves before charging.

Based on the current dense formation, it was impossible to charge. That would be courting death!

Kant arranged his troop like this because he could see from afar that the West Main Road seven to eight miles away was already filled with densely packed troops.

There were many troops, filling up the West Main Road like a blood-red river.

The knight order of the War Temple wore the uniform blood-red armor. The priests of the War Temple wore the same blood-red robe. There were also some guards of the War Temple who were similar to infantrymen. They were also dressed in blood-red, and even their shields were blood-red.

Their appearance was completely blood-red, but at the same time, it represented a majestic will to fight with fearless courage. On the battlefield, there was no lack of blood that splashed around wantonly. The majestic will to fight and fearless courage were also the most precious qualities on the battlefield.

As the army and priests of the God of War, it was natural for them to be blood-red in color.

From seven to eight miles away, Kant could feel the murderous aura of that army.

But from Kant could not see in detail how many troops were gathered in the west road like a blood-red river.

Just from the size alone, the number was not less than his army.

Moreover, there were a huge number of cavalries!

At this moment, Kant’s army numbered three to four thousand.

At the front was Kant leading the heavy cavalry that had already been arranged.

There were 250 Swadian Royal Knights, 240 Sarleon Lion Knights, 500 Mamluke, a total of 990 extremely strong heavy cavalries.

In Lionheart City, the East-West Main Road was as wide as the North-South Main Road, with a width of 30 meters. There was a row of 10 knights, and nearly 100 rows of cavalries.

At the front, there was a row of Royal Swadian Knights and a row of Sarleon Lion Knights. At the back was Mamlukes of the 50th faction. Kant was in the middle of the last row of Sarleon Lion Knights. He was in the center of all the cavalry.

Moreover, every two rows were at least five meters apart.

Cavalry charge required a large enough interval.

Kant left the rest of the army behind Kant’s heavy cavalry to Baheshtur. They were not cavalry. The line-up was much denser.

Baheshtur also saw the army on the West Main Road. After hearing Kant’s order to stop the army, Baheshtur immediately made arrangements.

He also asked the mage to cast the two buffing spells, ‘Sharp Metal Blade’ and ‘Group Acceleration’, on all the troops before arranging them apart from the cavalry.

At the very front were 850 Rhodok Sergeants. Each row had nearly 50 to 60 soldiers. There was a total of 16 to 17 rows of them. They were densely packed.

16 to 17 rows of Rhodok Sergeants only occupied 12 to 13 meters of the length of the East Main Road. One could imagine how densely packed they were.

The infantry could only rely on the dense square formation to resist the cavalries and block the cavalry!

If they couldn’t block it, then let the cavalry sink in!

They used the stacking shield method to stack layers and layers of broad shields. Although their defense couldn’t compare to the Swadian Sergeants who used the tower shield to pierce deep into the ground on the plain battlefield, the defense strength of Rhodok Sergeants was not to be underestimated.
