Chapter 482 - The End of the Battle of the Canyon

Chapter 482: The End of the Battle of the Canyon

Rolf, who was standing on top of the canyon, looked at the knights who were trying their best to charge out, as well as the soldiers of the rebellion army who were beginning to suffer losses. A malicious smile appeared on his face.

These foolish and arrogant knights of the South County, as well as these crazy and violent rebellion army, were all obstacles for his Supreme Lord, Lord Kant, to enter the South County.

The more of these people died, the better!

As the knights of the South County charged forward without caring about their own lives. More and more soldiers of rebellion army died at the northern exit of the canyon.

At the same time, more and more knights were pierced through by the sharp spear, turning into one of the corpses that were gradually piling up on the ground.

Fresh blood was flowing.

Life was withering.

At the forefront of the rebellion army, the infantry that was blocking the spear of the knights kept stabbing the spear in their hands, specifically targeting the faces and necks of the knights and knight attendants that were not protected by the iron armor.

“We must not let these people escape from here!”

Seeing their comrades falling down, some of the infantrymen with the spear roared in anger.

This was the best opportunity to kill these knights under their horses. If they escaped, allowing them to return to the leading army of the South County in the north and regroup, they would definitely not be able to withstand the revenge of these heavy cavalry.

The ones arranged at the front were the elites of the rebellion army. Most of them were the soldiers of Silver Platter Kingdom that captured ten years ago.

This was Rolf’s suggestion. He met the unyielding resistance of these knights.

He suggested to the commander of the rebellion army, Korod, that if he wanted to destroy these knights, he must not be intimidated by their imposing manner when they risked their lives. Hence, he had to arrange the soldiers who were the least afraid of death at the front line.

Korod accepted Rolf’s suggestion.

Among the rebellion army, the soldiers of the Silver Platter Kingdom who were the least afraid of death were the ones who were captured ten years ago.

After ten years of humiliating their life as slaves, they saw an opportunity and rebelled without hesitation.

This was a dead end. If they were afraid of death, they would continue to be their slaves obediently.

The rebellion army tried their best to block the knight crops from the South County, but they were still unable to stop them.

The grand knight’s sword was covered in flames. Not only could it easily cut off the spear, but it could also pierce through the iron-scale armor worn by the rebellion army.

It was like piercing through a piece of tofu.

Extraordinary strength had an overwhelming advantage over ordinary soldiers.

The knight corps of South County and their knight attendants were more elite than the rebellion army.

They were indeed stupid, but they were undeniably elites.

The rebellion army could not stop the charging footsteps of the knights.

Even if they had to leave hundreds of corpses for every meter of distance.

The long-range attacks on both sides of the canyon never stopped, even if they accidentally injured their own people.

The rebellion army soldiers at the south exit were even more vicious as they slaughtered the knights at the back.

The sounds of killing resonated in the canyon. The rebellion army and the knights fought desperately in the canyon!

Fresh blood flowed like a stream in the canyon.

The corpses started to pile up layer by layer.

The smell of blood even attracted the wild wolves that were searching for food in the nearby shrubs.

They had a pair of scarlet eyes in the dark. Saliva was flowing out of their mouths as they silently watched this place and waited for an opportunity.

The vultures circled above the canyon and flied furiously under the moon.

All the knights wanted to be the first to break out of this hopeless situation. The first person to break out had the greatest chance of survival.

Now was not the time to be stingy with their strength. If they were to delay for one more second in this canyon, there would be dozens of dead companions, and the probability of breaking out would decrease.

All the knights did not hold anything back. It was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to hold anything back.

These rebels did not leave any way out for them.

“Soldiers, for the humiliation we have suffered for the past ten years, Kill!”

Facing the desperate members of the knight corps, the last spear-wielding infantryman in the rebel army roared crazily, using his desperate aura to boost the aura of his comrades.

The spear-wielding infantrymen died one after another. Without the spear-wielding infantrymen and spears to block them, the rebel army found it even more difficult to block the charge of the knights.

The flame aura on the grand knight’s exquisite knight sword was already very dim, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

That was because the rebellion army soldiers blocking him were only left with the last few rows. Behind the rebellion army soldiers, there were no longer countless soldiers, but the main road of the farm.

“For the honor of the knight corps, Kill!”

The grand knight was encouraged by the visible hope, and the flame of the exquisite knight sword became even more vigorous.

The grand knight slashed down, directly cutting off the heads of three soldiers. Hot blood sprayed onto the faces of the nearby soldiers, making them cry out in fear.

With just one slash, the grand knight opened a gap in the row of soldiers in front of him.

Not only that, the last few rows of soldiers of the rebellion army were terrified upon seeing the grand knight’s might. They kept pushing to the sides, looking as if they were taking the initiative to make way for the grand knight and the knights behind him.

They were just making way, but they were afraid of retreating and running away, so they did not dare to retreat.

Unfortunately, on such a crazy battlefield, these cowards wanted to live, so they did not dare to draw their swords. However, it was more convenient for the knights to slaughter them mercilessly.

The soldiers of the rebellion army were formed. Other than the elite prisoners from the Silver Platter Kingdom, the rest were low-fighting serfs, militia, and civilians who were held hostage by them.

These people were arranged at the back of the group.

Rolf knew that if these people were arranged at the front to be cannon fodder, a small portion of them would probably be scared to death and collapse. At that time, these soldiers might lose their minds and even directly crash into the soldiers of the rebellion army at the back.

In the end, the grand knight led a portion of the knights out of this “Death Canyon” and escaped along the main road of the flat farm.

At this moment, the rebel army revealed their motley nature. Not a single commander led his soldiers to chase after the knights who had escaped.

“Mr. Rolf, I’m very sorry!”

Korod’s expression was a little ugly. Such a meticulous encirclement had even killed more than 2,000 knights during the night raid, and a portion of them had actually escaped. This made him, the commander of the rebel army, feel that he had lost face in front of Rolf.

“This is nothing. The results of the battle are even better than I expected!” Rolf replied with a faint smile on his face.

Out of the 5,000 knights, less than 500 had escaped. The rebellion army had suffered more than 5,000 casualties. Most of them were captured by the soldiers of the Silver Platter Kingdom and were the elites of the rebellion army. This was undoubtedly a severe weakening of the strength of the rebellion army.

The result of the battle had indeed exceeded Rolf’s expectations.

Rolf was not worried about the knights who had escaped. Without their warhorses, they had fought a desperate battle and were all injured. They could not escape.

“Victory! We have won!”

At this moment, a burst of cheers erupted in the canyon.

After a long time, the cheers subsided.

“Oh my god, I, I killed a knight! This is really shocking! Oh my god, I, Jack, killed a knight! Is this true?”

A soldier said this, his tone full of disbelief.

Before he became a soldier of the rebellion army, he was a serf. Whether it was a knight or a knight attendant, there was no difference to him.

Those high and mighty knights would not even look at him anyway.

Perhaps in the eyes of those knights, he was no different from an animal.

Above the canyon, the chief commander of the Rebellion army, Korod, revealed a faint smile. No matter what, they had won this time.

Even though the corpses of his army in the canyon were no less than the corpses of the knights.
