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 cla.s.s 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 b.l.o.o.d.y.
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 wars.h.i.+ps 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 s.h.i.+ps, everyone had woken up.
Among them were merchants, poor people, gang leaders, gangsters, and even the n.o.ble 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 s.h.i.+ps 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 s.h.i.+ps that dared to approach were destroyed.
When such s.h.i.+ps approached Baron Kant’s fleet.
On the trireme, they unceremoniously fired terrifying ballistae, causing heavy damage to the merchant s.h.i.+ps. Some of them were directly shot down.
As for those merchant s.h.i.+ps that did not sink, there were powerful Water Bandit Captains in the water. They directly pierced through the bottom of their s.h.i.+ps, 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 s.h.i.+ps that dared to test Kant’s fleet.
This effectively intimidated all the merchant s.h.i.+ps.
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 ma.s.sacred the barracks at the south gate, the 1,000 golems also ma.s.sacred 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 h.e.l.l.

Just as the battle ended, two system messages popped up on Kant’s retina.
