Chapter 547: Clean Up
Therefore, Korod’s rebellion army had undoubtedly suffered an extremely painful blow.
The elite heavy cavalries gathered by several high-level n.o.ble families in the South County were simply not something they could easily deal with.
They had only managed to escape after leaving behind 5,000 corpses. In reality, the main reason was that the other party did not intend to chase after them.
The n.o.bles were afraid of Baron Kant’s power, so they kept these rebel sc.u.m as a barrier to stop Baron Kant from going south.
The commander-in-chief of the southern County rebellion army, Korod, was completely drunk tonight.
After hearing the rumor that Kant had defected to the devil, he personally broke the alliance agreement that Kant had promised him a generous reward. However, he was at a loss at this moment, not knowing what the future of his rebellion army was.
Even though he was drunk, the regret was still haunting Korod.
The night was getting darker.
The wind started to blow.
Suddenly, the camp of the rebellion army that was housed in the abandoned farm suddenly lit up.
In the camp of the rebellion army, cries filled the air.
This fire naturally would not be lit up for no reason.
Not far away from the camp of the rebellion army, Rolf led over 1,600 desert bandits and crazily fired rockets into the camp.
After all the rockets were fired, Rolf ordered all the desert bandits to retreat.
The next day, the rebellion army soldiers of South County were burned to death by a huge fire.
The originally 30,000-man strong rebellion army only had 25,000 people left.
Luckily, the fire last night started from the other end of the grain they had placed. This gave the rebellion army a chance to save their grain.
If not, this bunch of useless soldiers without grain might immediately mutiny.
These 25,000 plus people were exhausted. Many of them had escaped, but they had lost their weapons and defensive equipment.
Panic spread amongst them.
Although Korod was rescued by his subordinates last night, he felt terrified and uneasy facing this horrible situation.
He had a premonition that Rolf had already set his eyes on the rebellion army.
In the eyes of Korod, Rolf was a man who was as terrifying as a demon.
Rolf had once planned a night raid for them, allowing the rebellion army to wipe out almost 5,000 elite heavy cavalry soldiers of South County n.o.ble alliance army.
In the eyes of Korod, this was a glorious achievement.
After experiencing the Silver Platter Kingdom’s invasion on the Dukedom of Leo 11 years ago, he knew very well how terrifying the 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the Dukedom of Leo were on the plains of the South County.
Reality proved that it was true.
Yesterday, they had been swept and ravaged by the nearly 5,000 heavy cavalries of the high-ranking n.o.bles in the South County. Their 35,000-man rebellion army had decreased to 30,000 men.
The more terrifying the heavy cavalry was, the more terrifying Rolf was.
The fire last night seemed to be Rolf’s handiwork.
Just as Korod was panicking, the earth shook violently.
“Look, the heavy cavalries of the South County’s n.o.ble family is chasing us!”
“Oh my G.o.d, we’re finished!”
“Sob, sob, sob, I don’t want to die, I’m only 16 years old this year!”
In the distant horizon, a black ma.s.s of cavalries rapidly charged towards the rebellion army.
The rebellion army soldiers who were crushed by the South County’s heavy cavalries yesterday had a deep fear of them.
“Look, that’s not the heavy cavalries of the Southern County! Their flag is a red-bottomed golden lion!”
“Red-bottomed golden lion?”
“Oh my G.o.d, that’s Baron Kant’s flag!”
“Baron Kant’s soldiers are even more terrifying than the heavy cavalry of the n.o.ble of South County!”
The rebellion army was extremely fl.u.s.tered and did not have a precise formation.
“Run! They’re charging at us!”
“Retreat, retreat!”
“Run, run, just like yesterday!”
Many of the rebellion army soldiers and even their commanders started to run. Yesterday, they had successfully escaped the ma.s.sacre of the heavy cavalries of the n.o.ble families. Now that they had experience, they all escaped without a doubt.
However, their speed was very slow. After all, they did not have a good rest last night and were very tired.
Korod looked at the chaos of the rebellion army soldiers who were all focused on running for their lives.
He closed his eyes in despair.
He was once a n.o.ble of the Silver Platter Kingdom, and he had partic.i.p.ated in the invasion of the Silver Platter Kingdom against the Dukedom of Leo eleven years ago. He had fought with the heavy cavalries of the Dukedom of Leo many times.
Korod deeply understood that the heavy cavalry army was not invincible.
As long as the infantrymen army contracted closely enough and formed a dense square formation, they would be able to contend against the heavy cavalry army. Even if they were eventually crushed, they would definitely be able to cause great losses to the heavy cavalry army.
However, escaping like this would give the heavy cavalry army a chance to reap their lives.
The heavy cavalry army always like the running enemies.
Korod did not escape with the soldiers of the rebellion army. He pulled out the sword at his waist.
He placed it directly on his neck.
“If I can make a new choice, even if Baron Kant really defected to the devil, I, Korod, will never betray him!”
As Korod said this, his eyes were filled with regret and tears of attachment to life.
The opportunity he once had was buried by his own hands.
Looking at the cavalry troop that was getting closer and closer, the tremors on the ground became even more intense. Korod slashed fiercely, and a small part of his neck was directly cut off by the sharp blade. Fresh blood gushed out like spring water.
“Hmph! It’s too easy for you!”
“Bah!”
Rolf rode on his warhorse and stood side by side with the 50 Swadian Royal Knights in the front row. Seeing Korod committed suicide with his own eyes, he snorted coldly on the horse.
Forming an alliance with the rebellion army was Rolf’s idea. Although he was initially prepared to trap the rebellion army, in the end, His Highness Lord Kant allowed him to truly form an alliance with these b*stards. Although this was different from Rolf’s original intention, this was also his highness Kant’s recognition of him.
After all, the idea of forming an alliance was the first idea that Rolf came up with and carried it out.
In Rolf’s opinion, his highness Kant was too generous and merciful to these b*stards. Rolf was also a n.o.ble, so he naturally understood the tragic ending and outcome of such rebellion army.
However, this d*mn Korod actually betrayed the alliance and His Highness Lord Kant. From the extermination order that His Highness Kant gave to these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, Rolf Knew How Furious His Highness Kant was about this matter.
Looking at the scattered rebellion army b*stards who were running for their lives, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in Rolf’s eyes. He raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted fiercely, “Kill these b*stards! For His Highness Lord Kant’s honor!”
Many cavalries, including 50 Swadian Royal Knights, 2,000 Swadian Light Cavalries, 3,000 Swadian Heavy Cavalries, and 1,600 desert bandits, all had their killing intent boiling as they shouted fiercely,
“Kill! For the honor of His Highness Lord Kant!”
“Kill! For the honor of His Highness Lord Kant!”
“Kill! For the honor of His Highness Lord Kant!”
