Chapter 598: The Manifestation of the War Spirit
Kant now had six goshawks under his command, because every goshawk that was subdued required Kant to provide the power of the rules of war at all times to maintain their combat strength, continuing to subdue the goshawks would reduce the power of the rules of war that Kant could use, so Kant did not continue to subdue the goshawks.
However, six goshawks were enough for scouting.
After the four world barons entered Lion Fort yesterday, Kant activated the “Nature’s Favor” special effect. Although Kant usually used the goshawk to scout, it did not mean that Kant could not control other creatures to scout.
Therefore, through the sight and hearing of the tiny insects surrounding the four world barons, Kant heard some information that made him feel a chill all over his body. At the same time, he also learned that the three world barons had left the Lion Fort yesterday.
Kant also confirmed through the goshawk that the three world barons had appeared from a dense forest and headed towards their own family’s castle. At this time, Kant also found Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron who had appeared in the Lion Fort. Most importantly, he was alone at the moment and was not with the other three world barons.
This meant that the three world barons hadn’t returned to Lion Fort after leaving through a secret pa.s.sage yesterday.
A world baron couldn’t pose too much of a threat to Kant.
As Kant thought of this, a thought flashed through his mind.
Chirp chirp chirp chirp.
Blitz the goshawk immediately descended from the high ground and flew towards Kant.
Kant planned to have the goshawk bring him over the high walls of Lion Fort. Then, he would use Sequence of Protector 1 — war spirit to summon 100 Grand Knights’ peak war spirits to charge at the soldiers blocking the city gates.
This way, the stability of the Lion Fort’s gates would be greatly reduced, and the time needed for them to be knocked open would also be reduced. If possible, the war spirits could even directly open the gates of Lion Fort.
Attacking from the inside was often the fastest way to break down a strong castle.
Blitz the goshawk flew past Kant, and Kant leaped from his horse and stepped onto his back, standing up straight. Blitz flapped its wings and its body began to rise rapidly towards the sky. At the same time, it brought Kant along.
For Blitz, whose strength had reached the peak of a Grand Knight, bringing a person to fly was a piece of cake. There was no difficulty at all. Very soon, it followed Kant’s will and brought Kant over the high wall of the Lion Fort. They appeared in the sky above the Lion Fort. The location where they appeared was chosen by Kant, which made the archers on the towers and battlements of Lion Fort unable to do anything to Kant, who had entered on a goshawk.
Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, who was commanding the army, saw Kant flew into the sky above the Lion Fort on a goshawk, and his heart trembled.
“Baron Kant, are you trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate me?” Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron recalled how Kant had killed Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese yesterday and a sense of fear rose in his heart when he saw Kant killing him. He could not withstand such a powerful attack.
Therefore, Kant saw the owner of Lion Fort, the world baron, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron fleeing in panic when he entered the sky above the Lion Fort at a height of 50 to 60 meters above the ground.
Kant’s deterrence at this moment was too terrifying, especially in the eyes of those who had seen him display his might yesterday.
Kant shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt. He did not have the intention to launch an a.s.sa.s.sination against Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron. At this moment, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was full of the power of rules, he was not confident in using the powerful attack of the fourth level of the power of rules like yesterday. If he couldn’t kill Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron instantly, he would be surrounded, putting himself in danger.
Moreover, he didn’t want to ruin his image as invincible in the eyes of the remaining four world barons. Such an image had many benefits, and it was a great deterrent in itself. For example, if Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron came over to stop him, it would be difficult for his plan to be carried out smoothly.
Kant was in mid-air, and a thought flashed through his mind, “Special Effect Sequence of Protector 1 — war spirit, activate!”
As Kant’s thought surged, the emerald necklace around his neck immediately absorbed a large amount of the power of the rules of war from Kant. Then, in the Lion Fort square below Kant, 100 peak Grand Knights war spirits quickly appeared.
The moment they appeared, they charged toward the Lion Fort gate according to Kant’s will. There were hundreds of infantry there, blocking the city gate tightly. They used all their strength to block the Lion Fort gate, as a result, the force of Rhodok sergeants carrying the siege wood outside the gate was mostly withstood by them.
When the archers on the city walls and battlements saw that the enemy troops had appeared inside the Lion Fort, they immediately shot out a large number of arrows to attack the war spirits. On the other side, when they were shooting at the Rhodok sergeants, who were carrying the siege wood, they were suppressed by Rhodok snipers. They suffered heavy casualties, but their results were weak. At this moment, they were all filled with anger.
The war spirit was a heavy armored cavalry, so it naturally did not have long-range methods to counterattack the archers on the city walls and battlements. The archers were shooting happily, they were ruthlessly venting out the anger they had encountered when they faced Rhodok snipers on the other side.
However, every war spirit was at the peak level of a Grand Knight. The defensive ability of the full-body armor and full-body helmet on their bodies could also be comparable to the elite armor produced by the system on the body of the Swadian royal knights, the defensive ability was extremely powerful. Even if an enemy at the peak level of a Grand Knight exploded with extraordinary power, they would not be able to pierce through it with a single strike.
Therefore, although the archers on the battlements relied on the anger in their hearts to shoot their arrows at a much faster speed than normal, their arrows were unable to cause any damage to the war spirits. Most of the arrows were blocked by the war spirit’s knight sword. A small portion of the arrows that were not blocked were attacked by the war spirit’s full-body armor or full-body helmet, however, the war spirits only left a shallow mark on their armor or helmet. They could not cause any damage to them.
The 100 war spirits charged at the infantry in the city gate while facing the dense rain of arrows.
