Chapter 511: Rumors From the n.o.bles
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 n.o.ble 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 s.h.i.+elds.
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 n.o.bles 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 n.o.ble alliance army had such a strange name. It must have been named after Baron Kant’s army.
Just as the n.o.bles present were skeptical about this news, a few n.o.bles spoke up.
“Viscount Kemil is right. We also have spies from the battlefield. The North County n.o.ble alliance army is indeed called the strange name of ‘Swadia’.”
These few knights were considered to be the weakest among the n.o.ble 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 n.o.ble 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 n.o.bles 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 n.o.ble 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 n.o.ble 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 n.o.ble 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 pa.s.sed.
During these two days, a major event happened.
Viscount Kemil, together with all the small and medium-sized n.o.ble families of the South County in Seria Castle, used their n.o.ble honor as a guarantee to pa.s.s 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 n.o.bles who were not involved in this event, mostly the small and medium-sized n.o.bles, 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 t.i.tle 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 n.o.ble.
Astonis.h.i.+ng 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 n.o.bles. It was accompanied by a statement from many n.o.bles in the Dukedom of Leo’s South County, using their n.o.ble honor as a guarantee:
Baron Kant had defected to the devil.
Such a statement was almost instantly believed by the knowledgeable n.o.ble.
At the same time, the sects of the various kingdoms and dukedoms also took action.
They were the spokesmen for the G.o.ds.
They would never allow the devil to return to the earth, because the G.o.ds were afraid of falling.
