Chapter 490 - Temporary New Castle

Chapter 490: Temporary New Castle

A few days ago.

In 50 miles south to the Maas Castle, Seria Castle had become an important pass of South County’s noble alliance army to defend against Kant’s forces and the North County’s noble alliance army.

At that time, in the frontline of the South County and North County, the newly built Seria Castle had 20 cavalry legions. Each cavalry legion was made up of 1,000 heavy cavalry soldiers.

The 1,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of each cavalry legion were made up of 100 official knights and 900 knight attendants.

At the same time, the five cavalry legions formed a heavy cavalry legion led by a grand knight.

The 20 cavalry legions formed four heavy cavalry legions. Each heavy cavalry legion had 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers. Their strength was terrifying.

These cavalry legions all came from the elite private armies of the small and medium noble families in the South County. They were formed after the integration.

The small and medium noble families in the South County formed a temporary command group, and they were in charge of discussing and issuing orders.

Viscount Kemil had the highest noble title, and he sent the most troops. At the same time, he sent two grand knights into the cavalry legion. He had contributed the most to the noble alliance army in the South County. Naturally, he became the highest commander in the temporary command group.

In the beginning, when these small and medium-sized nobles in the South County received the order from Cameron, Duke of Leo, they intended to follow the orders behind the scenes and randomly send out some old, weak, and disabled soldiers to deal with the matter.

In their opinion, the invasion of the noble alliance army of North County led by Baron Kant’s subordinates this time was just an internal struggle for the royal power. It had little to do with them.

As long as they just stood by and watched, no matter who won or lost in the end, they would still be noble families, and their benefits would not suffer any losses. They would just be changing the target of their pledge of allegiance.

After all, they were only small and medium-sized noble families. If they were to rashly participate in the battle for the royal power, it would be very easy for the entire family to fall into the battle of royalty.

For small and medium-sized noble families like them, this battle for the throne was a great opportunity. If they seized the opportunity to choose the right side and persevere until the end, it might allow the family to take a step forward. But this time, the direct battle between Baron Kant and Duke of Leo was too risky. It was better to preserve the current foundation and slowly develop it.

In the beginning, these small and medium-sized nobles in the South County all had such thoughts.

But when Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, made a promise that as long as these small and medium-sized noble families sent troops to wipe out the “Rebel army” of the North County, the entire North County would be divided up by them, these small and medium-sized noble families were instantly moved.

Although the North County was barren, its territory was very big.

In particular, the North County was adjacent to the Nahrin Desert and was only separated from the Nahrin Desert by the Senwaya Range.

Ever since the discovery of the salt mine in Baron Kant’s Nahrin Desert, the barren North County was no longer a problem. As long as they occupied a piece of land in the North County and collected the trade caravan tax, it would be enough for them to earn a lot of money.

Took Baron Kant as an example. Ever since the discovery of the salt mine, in just a short year’s time, he had developed enough strength to contend with the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron.

The benefits were too great!

Especially since Grand Duke Cameron did not require them to deal with Baron Kant. Baron Kant had already displayed a terrifying strength in the East County. This was also the reason why they were not willing to participate in the battle for the throne, this was because it was difficult for them to determine who was stronger, Baron Kant or Grand Duke Cameron.

With such conditions, the small and medium-sized noble families in the South County were even more willing.

However, dealing with the North County’s noble alliance army and being able to share the extremely rich benefits after succeeding, these small and medium-sized noble families in the South County had reached a consensus after a short period of communication.

They sent out troops!

They sent out the elite private soldiers of their families to form an alliance army and ruthlessly destroy the North County’s noble alliance army, which in their eyes had a weak combat strength.

Previously, the North County’s noble alliance army had joined forces with the mercenaries to attack the Stone Pass, which made the South County’s noble alliance army laughed for a long time.

Under such an ambitious military operation, they just ended up with riots, internal strife and killing each other!

In the end, they surrendered without fighting!

Such a humiliating North County’s noble alliance army, how strong would they be? They were not scum troops, what troops were they?

Although the noble alliance army of North County was currently led by Baron Kant’s subordinates, and there was also a part of Baron Kant’s army, they knew that Baron Kant’s main force was in the East County. Thus, they did not take the thousands of troops led by Firentis at the Stone Pass to heart.

The nobles in the South County gathered their troops and consolidated them, they divided into four five-thousand heavy cavalry legions, ready to conquer Maas Castle and beat up the noble alliance army of North County, who were so weak in their eyes.

However, the damn rebellion army of the South County, a bunch of lowly serfs, broke out in rebellion!

These rebellion army took advantage of the small and medium noble families of the South County to lead their elite troops out of the territory, heading north to the border of the North County and the South County. When they attacked the noble alliance army of the North County, these rebellion army crazily plundered their property and killed their people and subordinates. They seized the civilians in their territory, destroyed their farms and even their estates, and turned their homes into ruins.

All the small noble families in the South County were gone mad.

The rebellion army was stabbing them in the back, cutting off their foundations!

They could not tolerate this!

Even if they delayed the conquest of the North County for a while, they could not allow these lowly rebellion army to continue doing whatever they wanted!

They had to make these lowly serfs and bastards pay the price!

The temporary command group formed by the small noble families in the South County quickly came to a decision. In the end, Viscount Kemil Viscount made the decision and issued the order.

In Seria Castle, a heavy cavalry legion was sent out. They planned to use the fastest speed to crush those rebellion army bastards in the Southern County!

The South County noble families in Seria Castle continued to train the remaining three heavy cavalry legions while waiting for the triumphant return of the heavy cavalry legion that went down south to destroy the rebellion army.

However, two days later, bad news came.

When the news of the heavy cavalry legions being completely annihilated reached them, all the noble families of the South County were shocked and could not believe it.
