Chapter 311 - Defeated Mercenary Group

Chapter 311: Defeated Mercenary Group

“Woo –”

The horn was blown, and the sound was dull and long.

The Swadian Knights and Footmen began to push forward. They, who had long been ready, were already yearning for this battle, this battle that would allow them to obtain a great victory and lead them to glory!

“Da Da Da...”

The Royal Knights led the knights and began to urge their warhorses to run.

Amongst these knights, Firentis, who had been watching coldly from the side, put away his horn. He raised the flag of the golden lion with a red background and gave his order, “Charge!”

“Charge!”

The knights replied in unison.

The badge on Fitentis’ chest was also a lion. It was the Order of the Lion Medal.

However, when he charged, an invisible wave suddenly rose up and surrounded the surrounding knights who were running on their horses. It turned into a faint breeze and increased their speed.

[ Order of the Lion Medal ] Special Effect: shorten the distance to reach the peak of charging status!

It was less than 30 meters.

The sound of the horses’ hooves sounded like a flood.

These 230 knights had all entered charging status. They stood side by side in two rows. They put down the armor-piercing lance in their hands and aimed at the formation of the mercenary groups 100 meters in front of them!

Facing the charge of the heavy cavalry, any brave footmen would feel their hearts palpitate.

Not to mention these mercenaries who only cared about money!

Blocking the front of the charge of the heavy cavalry meant that they would definitely die in battle. They would not survive at all. These mercenaries would not let their lives suffer any losses. This was because there would be great silver coins waiting for them in the future. How could they just die and left behind in this barren Nahrin Desert?!

Especially when they saw the heavy cavalries charge, the flag of a red gold lion fluttered and swayed like a real lion. Instantly, they felt a chill in their hearts.

[ Intimidation ] special effect: Take the lead to reduce the enemy’s morale by one round!

And in the data.

In the hearts of this group of mercenaries, they were so scared like they were walking alone on the edge of a cliff. When the defeated soldiers met their pursuers, their legs trembled, and they almost lost the will to fight. They only had cowardly appearance on their faces and unable to defend anymore!

In fact, the morale of this group of mercenaries had already been declining for the past three days in this desert.

After one more round of reduction in morale, they reached the critical point of collapse!

“Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom –”

The hooves of the horses rushed over like a tidal wave.

30 Royal Swadian Knights burst out with layers of golden flames. They led 200 Swadian Knights and crashed heavily into the formation of the mercenaries who were dodging. Their faces were filled with fear and despair.

There was no resistance at all, and there was no obstruction at all. The violent charge was augmented with a terrifying inertia.

The lance pierced through the chests of the mercenaries.

The warhorses knocked the bodies of the mercenaries flying.

The hooves of the horses crushed the broken limbs of the mercenaries one by one.

It was as easy as crushing dried weeds!

On the battlefield of this desert, 30 extraordinary knights were at the front, killing a rain of blood. 200 knights were at the back, stirring up a bloody wind in the rain of blood.

The mercenary group of more than 1,000 people actually collapsed just like that. They were directly charged through by just 230 knights from the beginning to the end, killing their way through a bloody path, crossing a dead silence!

“Regroup.”

Firentis pulled on the reins, controlling the warhorse beneath him to turn around.

Behind him, the 230 knights were also doing the same thing. Especially the 30 royal knights at the front, who were bursting out with resplendent golden flames. The extraordinary power that was as fearful as the might of a king spread in all directions, bringing about a spiritual pressure.

This made the mercenaries feel even more terrified!

Their morale had been weakened tremendously!

“It’s over.”

Rolf grinned hideously.

He did not charge with the heavy cavalry, because he was not the commander of the heavy cavalry to begin with.

As the commander of the central posthouse, Rolf led the Sarrandian Horsemen, as well as the Elite Desert Bandit, these cavalries from the Sarrand Desert were the vicious bandits!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh –”

The short javelins whizzed past.

Some of the mercenaries tried to reorganize their formation and resist Kant to the death.

However, the javelin rain clearly interrupted their determination. One by one, the unlucky mercenaries were directly hit by the short javelins. Even if they raised their shields, it was useless. If they were hit by the sharp, sturdy, and heavy short javelins, they would either die or be crippled!

Elite Desert Bandit, as the elite of the bandits, their accuracy and lethality were even more powerful.

And they were even more cunning!

They would not charge into the group of mercenaries at all.

As light cavalry, they had already set their position as assisting the heavy cavalry in charging. Even the Sarrandian Horsemen had only formed a single charge formation, waiting for the distant Swadian Knight to charge.

The charge of the formation of over a thousand people was still tragic.

The reason why the Swadian Knight could charge and even make a bloody path was because of the 30 extraordinary knights at the front!

The iron lance relied entirely on the awl’s sharpness!

The cavalry’s charge was the same!

“Charge!”

Firentis ordered the Swadian Knights to charge once again. Not far away, on the side, the Sarrandian Horsemen also followed their charge and started charging from the side!

120 Sarrandian Horsemen also has the ability to charge.

What’s more, there are 220 Elite Desert Bandit, also raise the spear, charge together!

“PFFT, PFFT, PFFT, PFFT, PFFT, PFFT, PFFT.”

The 30 Royal Knights flew into a rage and ignored the resistance in front of them, easily killing all the enemies in front of them. They led the knights behind them to wantonly hack and kill in this army of over a thousand people. However, their fully armed armor could protect their safety, even if they were hit by the counterattack, they were unharmed under the protection of the double-layered mail armor or plate armor.

However, the mercenaries were not like this. The best of them were only wearing mail armor, and the worst of them even had leather armor. They were completely unable to block the charge of the knights. No one even wanted to stop them!

The mercenaries’ formation was already in chaos!

no(????(e)lbi????.n(et

As for the Sarrandian Horsemen and the Elite Desert Bandit, their subsequent charge immediately arrived!

“Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff –”

The spear easily pierced through the corner of the panicked and desperate line that was trying to escape.

The center was pierced through again.

The mercenaries on both sides could not maintain their calm at all. After the charge of the Sarrandian Horsemen, they suddenly collapsed. All the mercenaries began to flee to the back. The entire line was on the verge of collapse, and it was about to collapse!

No, in fact, they had already collapsed!

Even at the front, the mercenaries were retreating.

Because the footmen had arrived.

With a fan-shaped shield in hand, the Swadian Footmen raised their heater shields in a neat formation. They raised the shields and charged towards them!

“Run, run! We’re going to die!”

“No! Help! I don’t want to die here! Mom!”

The mercenaries cried out in grief.

But even so, the Swadian footmen had already ignored the cries of the weak.

The spatha sword slashed straight, the heater shield clapped, and the 1,000 Swadian Footmen were like waves crashing into a reef. Wave after wave, they began to break down the already shaky defenses of the mercenaries!

Moreover, at the back, the mage apprentices and mages also raised their staffs.

“Sharp Golden Blades!”

After a short chant, rays of golden light appeared on the weapons of the light footmen.

With the enhancement of the magic power, the weapons of these light footmen were sharper, and the damage they caused to the mercenaries was also greater. Even the direct thrust of the spatha sword could tear through leather armor, and the inlaid iron-scale armor could cause huge cracks!

The smell of blood was thick, and hundreds of mercenaries were falling.

But most of them were fleeing!

The mercenaries had lost their will to fight. They even abandoned their weapons and fled to the back.

The herd effect appeared.

More mercenaries retreated and fled.

Their entire shaky defense line collapsed just like that. They didn’t even have the chance to resist. All of them began to flee. They had lost the will to resist, and there was only fear in their hearts.

They were a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

“Kill!”

Rolf led the Sarrandian Horsemen and the Elite Desert Bandit to attack.

Next was their mission.

The entire mountain was filled with fleeing mercenaries, but they discovered in despair that they were surrounded by flat sand layers. Even if there were dune in the distance, there wasn’t a single bit of vegetation that could cover them.

This was different from the experience they had when they were escaping.

There was also the scorching sun above their heads, making their mouths dry and their tongues dry.

Rolf led the Sarrandian Horsemen and the Elite Desert Bandits to watch from the side. Those who wanted to go too far out of range would draw their machetes to kill. As for the others, they allowed their two legs to wander aimlessly towards the south. Rolf and his men were all giggling, as if they were admiring a flock of sheep running.

If they ran in the desert, without food or water, they would die.

These mercenaries discovered this fact in despair.

Then, they would become captives.

The battle ended so easily. Kant had just arrived at the posthouse hall and sat down when the Elite Desert Bandit served as a messenger to report on the current battle results, as well as the enemy’s collapse and victory.

“Got it.”, Kant nodded with a calm expression.

As for the captured knights, their faces were ashen.

In fact, they were supposed to be the middle-level commanders of these mercenary groups. However, because of Baron Dylan’s request, they clustered here. In the end, they were all captured by Kant.

The entire mercenary group was implicated and lost their specific commander until they collapsed.

Their hearts were filled with despair.

Even if someone was commanding them, they would still collapse.

The 50 extraordinary knights frightened everyone.

These knights were just ordinary knights. Some of them were wandering knights that Baron Dylan had recruited not long ago. Their true combat strength could not even defeat a Sarrandian Horseman. How could they fight against a level-5 Swadian Knight?

Baron Dylan and the two grand knights were also ashen-faced.

The results were out.

They were defeated.

Baron Dylan raised his head. His eyes were ashen as he looked at Kant. He could not help but smile bitterly. “Then, Lord Kant, how... will you deal with us?”

Fifty extraordinary knights had also shocked him to the core.

This was a terrifying number that even the Dukedom of Leo could not gather!

In fact, even Baron Dylan suspected that this was not the heritage left behind by Princess Sofia. This was because he knew that even the Silver Platter Kingdom would not be able to achieve such a magnificent cavalry troop of extraordinary knights with national level, if Princess Sofia had such a force back then, she would have long taken down the Dukedom of Leo. How would things be like this now?
