Chapter 494: The Coming Confrontation
The reckless soldier, the terrified expression, the panicked words.
Originally, such a soldier was a very misbehave guy in the eyes of the elegant and decent n.o.ble.
But at this moment, in the eyes of all the members of the command group of Seria Castle, this soldier was really adorable.
Listen to him!
Listen to what this soldier said?
The North County n.o.ble alliance army, which had been hiding in the turtle sh.e.l.l of Maas Castle like a bunch of cowards, had actually emerged from that turtle sh.e.l.l.
This was really wonderful news.
A minute ago, all the n.o.bles were racking their brains to think of a way to break this turtle sh.e.l.l!
Viscount Kemil said, “Calm down, our Sir Knight!”
After the soldier vented out the panic and fear in his heart, he received Viscount Kemil’s reminder. He hurriedly suppressed the remaining panic in his heart and put on a calm appearance.
He realized at this time that his actions had violated the army’s rules. He did not know what kind of punishment he would receive.
Viscount Kemil smiled and said, “Sir Knight, the information you provided was timely. You have rendered meritorious service! Report the name of your knight troop and the captain of your squad, as well as your own name. Sir Oscar. Norton will record your meritorious service!”
When this soldier who was still worried about his future heard the words of Viscount Kemil, the remaining panic in his heart was swept away. He was extremely excited.
He had actually made a meritorious deed!
His excited voice trembled slightly as he said, “My lord, I am the thirteenth member of the thirteenth squad of the thirteenth knight troop. My captain is Sir Justin. Grott. My name is Philip Francis.”
It could be seen that this soldier named Philip Francis was a person who easily got excited.
Sir Oscar. Norton used a quill pen to record the information and contributions of this soldier on a sheepskin scroll. Then he nodded to Viscount Kemil.
Viscount Kemil said, “Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen. It surprisingly easy to remember! Alright, Mr. Knight! Sir Oscar. Norton has already recorded the contributions for you. Now, please return to the troop. We will soon make a corresponding battle plan based on the information you provided!”
After soldier Philip. Francis left, Sir Jimmy. Walters closed the door of the meeting room again.
In the meeting room, the South County leaders who were originally calm and collected finally showed their joy without any scruples. The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became relaxed and happy.
“This is great!”
“Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, this soldier is really not bad!”
“The North County’s n.o.ble families are just a bunch of idiots!”
Viscount Kemil clapped his hands, signaling for the n.o.ble families to quiet down.
He then said, “Gentlemen, since the North County n.o.ble alliance army has already come out of the turtle sh.e.l.l of Maas Castle, I think it’s time for us to let them see the power of our three heavy cavalry legions.”
Viscount Kemil paused for a moment and then said, “I propose that we immediately send out troops to fight against the North County n.o.ble alliance army on the plain between the two castles!”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
…
The n.o.ble families of the South County quickly reached an agreement, and Viscount Kemil quickly signed the order to send out troops.
Then, Viscount Kemil picked up the exquisite ceramic cup on the chairman’s table made of expensive wood and raised it to make a toast to the members of the command group, he said, “Gentlemen, let us celebrate the victory of this decisive battle in advance! To victory! Cheers!”
After finis.h.i.+ng his words, Viscount Kemil took the lead to put in a few pieces of date palm sugar from Drondheim into the goat milk and drank it in one gulp.
“To victory!”
“To victory!”
Many of the n.o.bles were also unusually relaxed and happy. They did not have the slightest doubt about the upcoming victory.
…
At the border between the North County and South County, on the plains between Maas Castle and Seria Castle, the 30,000-man troop led by Firentis were slowly moving toward Seria Castle.
The 5,000 cavalries did not follow the infantrymen to Seria Castle.
Firentis had completely carried out his highness Kant’s will and treated this battlefield as his highness Kant’s show of strength.
Spies from different forces gathered here and were not chased away or killed by the desert bandits led by Rolf.
Following his highness Kant’s will, Firentis formulated a detailed battle plan.
It was to let the native people of this world watch a fair and just war feast.
A war show that Firentis had meticulously planned!
From the Continent of Caradia, this crazy and chaotic world of war, Firentis had such confidence.
There were three thousand heavy cavalries, made up of one thousand Swadian Knights and two thousand Swadian Heavy Cavalries.
Two thousand light cavalries were all Sarrandian Hors.e.m.e.n, a troop cla.s.s that was between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.
Five thousand cavalries were made up of four thousand level 4 troop cla.s.s soldiers and one thousand level 5 troop cla.s.s soldiers. With their powerful warhorse, exquisite armor, and excellent sharp weapons that far surpa.s.sed the standard of this world, this 5,000-man strong troop cla.s.s of cavalries was abnormally terrifying.
Each level 4 troop cla.s.s Swadian Heavy Cavalry and Sarrandian Horseman’s strength was equivalent to the highest official knight in this world.
And the level 5 troop cla.s.s, Swadian Knight, had already surpa.s.sed the strength of the official knights of this world which was between the strength of the top official knights and grand knights of this world It only took five Swadian Knights to be able to surround and kill a grand knight with extraordinary strength.
Such a powerful cavalry troop was much stronger than the 15,000 heavy cavalries in the Seria Castle.
Out of the 15,000-man heavy cavalry troop in the Seria Castle, there were only 1,500 official knights including 3 grand knights. The remaining 13,500 soldiers were all knight attendants.
Such an army was naturally very elite and powerful compared to the standards of this world. It was an extremely terrifying heavy cavalry troop.
The n.o.ble families of the South County were not fools. They would not think that they had the confidence to win for no reason.
Such 15,000 heavy cavalries in three heavy cavalry legions. In this world, if they were to charge, even an elite infantry formation of 100,000 people could be completely defeated under a few attacks. In the eyes of those South County n.o.bles, the North County n.o.ble alliance army with 35,000 soldiers was pathetically weak.
