Chapter 584: Viscount Carl Was Delighted
However, the one-sided ma.s.sacre that Kant expected did not happen. The situation was even a little strange.
At this moment, the two armies clashed. Kant’s 1,000 Swadian Royal Knights and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights were already charging at high speed, while their opponents, the 5,000 heavy cavalries of the Lion Fort, had almost just entered the acceleration stage. When the two armies clashed, even if the strength of the two armies were not far apart, the troop that entered the charging posture would definitely have the advantage in strength and be able to slaughter the enemy. Moreover, Kant’s subordinates were much more elite than the heavy cavalries of the Lion Fort.
However, the situation was not like this. The Swadian Royal Knight in the first row held a four-meter-long lance in both hands. When facing a weak enemy, he did not show the slightest mercy. When the two armies started their battle, the four-meter-long lance in his hand pierced through an official knight-level soldier of the Lion Fort Like a flash of lightning. The battle between the cavalries was simply a race against time. After this Swadian Royal Knight pierced through an enemy, he did not stop at all. He urged his horse to move forward quickly and once again used the lance to ruthlessly pierce through another enemy.
Everything seemed to be as smooth as cutting tofu. The huge speed advantage had turned into an advantage in terms of combat strength. The Royal Swadian Knights in the first row seemed to be reaping the lives of the enemies with ease. Most importantly, the resistance of the enemy was very weak. They could have raised their lance and tried to block the Swadian Royal Knights, even though they it might be useless. However, they could obviously use up the attention and time of the Swadian Royal Knights. However, the enemy did not do so. They did not do anything except continue to ride their warhorse forward. It looked like they were deliberately giving their lives away.
At the moment when the Swadian Royal Knights in the first row pierced through the heavy cavalries of the Lion Fort, there were some of the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights let out an extremely painful groan. Some of them even held tightly onto the knight lance that was about to charge and kill the enemy, but they fell to the ground. However, the most serious one was still a Sarleon Lion Knight. Suddenly, he let out a painful roar and fell off his warhorse.
They seemed to have suffered injuries of varying degrees for no reason. The number of Kant’s knights that injured was almost the same as the number of enemies they killed. Furthermore, the Swadian Royal Knights or the Sarleon Lion Knight both possessed the strength of a grand knight and had been enhanced by three domains, they were still suffered from pain and let out a groan, or they were in so much pain that they let go of the knight lance that they were holding tightly in their hands. It could be seen that their injuries were definitely not minor injuries. Instead, they were fatal injuries. As for the Sarleon Lion Knight who suddenly fell off his warhorse, the injuries he suffered were more likely to be serious enough to affect his life.
The Swadian Royal Knights in the first row could charge forward without any scruples and did not have to worry about the overall battle situation. However, Kant, as the commander, had to consider the overall battle situation.
He was already filled with doubts about the actions of these cavalries of the Lion Fort that went against common sense. In his heart, he already had suspected that the enemy had plotted some traps. Therefore, when the first row of knights had just finished the first round of killing, he already noticed the situation of the army.
The enemy had used some mysterious means to exchange their soldiers’ lives for his soldiers’ serious injuries. It might even be more than that. After all, it was just the beginning.
The battlefield was ever-changing, and this required the commander to have extremely keen insight and the quality of decisiveness.
With his powerful strength and the five goshawks hovering in the sky, Kant had a clear grasp of the situation of the battle. Taking into account that Viscount Carl Cameron’s words “time is pressing”. Kant’s eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light, as if he understood something. These 5,000 heavy cavalries of the Lion Fort used a method that could exchange their lives for the for the lives of his knights. There should be a time limit, perhaps this kind of reloading could last for a short time.
After thinking about it, Kant immediately came up with a countermeasure. At the same time, he activated the rule power of war. A huge aura rose from Kant’s body. At the same time, Kant’s words resounded throughout the entire army, it covered up the earth-shaking sounds of fighting and the deafening sound of horse hooves. “All troops, listen up. We can only defend against the enemies and not attack! Just wait for my next order!”
Facing the 5,000 heavy cavalries who seemed to be able to trade their lives for the injuries or lives of Kant’s men, Kant had no choice but to choose this strategy. This meant that he had completely given up on the offensive advantage he had gained by entering the charging posture, their previous effort was a waste!
Viscount Carl Cameron heard Kant’s words spread throughout the entire square, and a hint of joy flashed across his face. After all, to be able to make a high and mighty world baron suffer was undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing. In particular, Viscount Carl Cameron especially hated Kant as his “younger brother.” The experience of traveling to Lionheart City had become an indelible shame and stain in Carl Cameron’s glorious and s.h.i.+ning life.
In fact, when Viscount Carl Cameron gave an order, it was completely different from saying that “time is pressing” to remind Kant. However, he really wanted to see Kant give an order that was disadvantageous to Kant himself. In his experience, he thought that there was no difference at all he revealed or not revealed the reloading time of curse stone. Because he knew that Kant, as a keen baron, would soon see the problem and immediately make a decision and order.
However, in that case, all this seemed to only show that his father, Ryan Cameron, had succeeded in plotting against Kant. It had nothing to do with him, Viscount Carl Cameron. Viscount Carl Cameron had an idea. When he issued the order, he revealed some information that was “useless but would affect Baron Kant”. When Viscount Carl Camron said “time is pressing” such sensitive words, Baron Kant would definitely take this into consideration when he made the decision.
Therefore, the faster Baron Kant reacted, the more important and crucial the information given by Viscount Carl Cameron was. This gave Viscount Carl Cameron a sense of satisfaction and pleasure similar to controlling the world baron. Especially when the world baron was Baron Kant, whom he deeply hated, the pleasure and satisfaction suddenly hit him like a tidal wave.
