Chapter 412 - A Sudden War

Chapter 412: A Sudden War

Kant did not wait long in “Aaron” City.

As the Desert Bandits gave the order, the reinforcements from “Drondheim” Castle immediately set off. They were all cavalry troops with strong mobility. In just seven days, they had arrived at the mountain pass posthouse.

However, the troops that were mobilized this time were not the Heavy Cavalry of Kingdom of Swadia.

They were the troops of the Sarrand Sultanate.

Five hundred Mamlukes, one thousand and five hundred Sarrandian Horsemen and two thousand Desert Bandits had formed this cavalry unit.

The appearance of their equipment made the valiant aura of these Sarrand Sultanate cavalry unquestionable. Their powerful aura circulated, and they weren’t inferior to the troop class of the Kingdom of Swadia.

They were also top-notch elites. They were the powerful cavalries that could face the enemy head-on and destroy all enemy!

The Sarrand Sultanate was originally a strong cavalry country.

Their top-notch cavalry troop, Mamluke, was second only to the Kingdom of Swadia’s cavalry.

Even the Level-4 Sarrandian Horseman was slightly weaker to the Swadian Heavy Cavalries and Khergit Khanate’s Lance Cavalries because their warhorse did not wear armor. However, they were still valiant as they belonged to the commando troop.

On a battlefield, they could defeat every footman, including the Rhodok and Nord people.

On a plain battlefield, cavalry was the true main force.

At the hill where Kant was about to build a new village, apart from the Resniston River, the hill was actually covered by a vast plain area in all four directions!

Cavalry was not the only force in a troop.

Footmen were indispensable.

A footman formation formed by the Rhodok people.

Just like their reputation, they were tenacious and tough, just like the rocks in the Rhodok Mountains.

Heavy iron armor was draped over their bodies, thick shields were carried on their shoulders, heavy and sharp battle knives or one-handed battle hammers were slung over their waists, and heavy two-handed machetes like halberd were tied to their backs, they were just like human-shaped tanks.

As he walked, the equipment collided with each other with a light sound.

Five hundred Rhodok Sergeants.

One thousand Rhodok Veteran Spearmen.

Five hundred Rhodok Veteran Crossbowmen.

This was the main infantry force that had been transferred from the “Aaron” City, a city full of Rhodok people.

Of course, there was also support from the Kingdom of Ravenstern. A total of 500 Ravenston Rangers had also joined the Rhodok team to fill in the gaps of the crossbowmen.

However, this filling in firepower was not inferior to the crossbowmen’s heavy crossbows.

They could shoot out the arrows as dense as an unstoppable rainstorm.

Any enemy would be helpless against this group of elite archers.

Perhaps these Ravenstern Rangers ‘single cone arrows did not deal as much damage as the heavy crossbows of Rhodok Veteran Crossbowmen who used more powerful steel crossbow, but they were better at being shooting out the arrows continuously.

Each ranger was equipped with 60 awl arrows.

The shooting duration was longer.

Together with the extremely powerful heavy crossbows, these two troops were simply a match made in heaven.

Faced with the terrifying steel crossbow arrows, the enemies were shot through armor and fell to the ground in pain.

The lucky ones scattered in fear, but they would not expect the even denser number of awl arrows to follow closely behind them. The arrows continued to deal damage, and one by one, they were killed on the way forward.

A total of 6,000 troops were about to set off.

“Aaron” City had even sent out many civilians to follow behind them.

These were the supplies for the future.

When the troops set off, the logistics line had to be guaranteed. The plan was well thought.

In the ancient passage, the roads were perfect. Not only were there stone roads that were easy to march on, but there was also a waterway that could be used to transport supplies. As long as they had people to build a few simple rafts, they could transport supplies down the river.

Of course, after the Water Bandits’ Lair was built, there would be special oars and warships to transport the supplies.

Furthermore, there would be a transfer station for the supplies, the underground city.

Kant had already arranged for people to go over and prepare to renovate the underground city.

That underground city did not need extra buildings. If it were converted into a material storage and transfer station, as well as a logistics point, it would be fine. No matter what happened, they would be able to provide timely support.

After all, the underground city was only a little more than a day’s journey from the river mouth.

This was just the speed of riding a horse.

If they traveled by water, it would be even faster!

When the time came, the underground city that was once the ancient god’s descendant shelter and sealed land would become the crucial middle station between the “Aaron” City and the new village. A large number of resources would pass through this station and continuously reach the village.

At the same time, at certain moments of crisis, the entire village could retreat and enter the underground city to temporarily hide from danger.

As long as they waited for the reinforcement to arrive, they would be able to counterattack at any time.

This was also Kant and James’s plan.

The plan was also being carried out in an orderly manner as time passed.

Large number of resources drifted down smoothly with the raft and directly reached the underground city. Then, they would be transported ashore by the peasant farmers who were waiting there with hooks and piled up in the temporary warehoused.

The troops that had been mobilized had already moved into the underground city.

Torches were lit.

The entire underground city was brightly lit.

The temporary transit command center had been set up, and Kant and James were temporarily stationed here.

At the same time, when Kant went to the river mouth to build a new village, James would also be stationed here for a short period of time, using the resources from “Aaron” City to fully supply the expenses and development of the new village.

Everything went very smoothly.

However, accidents still happened.

Elite Desert Bandit were covered in blood and rode their horses over.

With an anxious face, they half-knelt in front of Kant, they quickly reported, “Lord Kant! Just two days ago, we encountered an attack from the forces of the Crimson Sect. Lord Rolf has already forced back the enemy’s attacks several times, but they are coming aggressively, and their numbers are increasing. We can no longer hold on!”

“What?” Kant was slightly stunned. He had yet to react. Those fellows of the Crimson Sect actually dared to directly launch an attack on him. This made him not know whether to laugh or cry.

The powerful troops were right behind him.

They could set off at any time.

But those fellows of the Crimson Sect were really brainless. They really thought that they could defeat Kant.

Taking the initiative to attack him, they were simply tired of living!

“I understand.” Kant nodded.

The figure who was originally sitting behind the table also stood up and ordered in a deep voice, “Gather all the troops. The target is the river mouth. Get ready to set off!”

“Yes!”

The Desert Bandits who served as the messenger immediately received the order and left.

Immediately, the voice spread throughout the underground city.

The troops gathered.

Let’s go!
