Chapter 603: Obstacles to Progress

Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was shocked when he heard Kant’s words. When he spoke to the three world barons yesterday evening, he had confirmed that no one was eavesdropping. When Viscount Carl Cameron suddenly barged in to report the military situation, they had already stopped discussing.

In other words, other than the four world barons, no one else knew about their conversation yesterday. Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron also believed that the three world southern barons would not tell Kant about the content of their conversation. After so many years of cooperation, they still knew each other very well.

Then, how did Baron Kant know about the content of their conversation yesterday? Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron gave Kant a deep look. He did not expect Kant to have an ability that they had never known before.

As for the content of Kant’s words, it did not affect Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron at all, just like how Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron could not use the affection between father and son to shake Kant’s heart.

As soon as Kant finished speaking, his soldiers were already in position. Without any delay, he immediately gave the order to attack.

Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was very disappointed. He realized that he had not achieved any of his three goals.

Baron Kant was not affected at all, nor did he delay the attack time. At the same time, what surprised Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron the most was that Baron Kant’s soldiers were not affected at all.

Baron Kant’s soldiers, whether they were infantry or cavalry, archers or mages, only looked at Kant with respect and worship, as well as trust and submission from the bottom of their hearts.

Baron Kant had already issued the order to attack, so Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron naturally could only issue the order to attack. His army’s main force was the cavalry. If they stood still and waited for Baron Kant’s army to approach, then they would kill each other, it would be very disadvantageous.

The two armies had a large number. Although the Lion Fort’s inner square was huge, it was a little crowded after accommodating so many armies from both sides. The short distance between the two armies made it difficult for the cavalry of the two armies to charge, it was very difficult to enter the charging posture and truly charge.

Therefore, Kant did not choose to let the Swadian royal knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights charge. Instead, he chose the strategy of infantrymen leading the charge and advancing steadily. However, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s army was mainly composed of cavalry. Even if the distance was not enough, he still allowed his cavalry to charge at Kant’s army. Even if they could not reach the level of charging posture, as long as they ran, the charging force of the cavalry was still much stronger than the combat strength of those who stayed in the same place.

Kant looked at the densely packed 8,500 cavalries and frowned. These cavalries could not enter the charging posture at all. Kant was not worried about how much impact they could have on his army. However, Kant was worried that among the 8,500 cavalries, there were still soldiers who had the means of the cursed stone. If they succeeded in releasing it, it would be very difficult to stop them outside the gate of Lion Fort. At that time, Kant’s army would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Regardless of whether they had it or not, it would be good to stop them!

“Mages, listen up! Release the Nature Summon spell! Block between the two armies!” At this time, there was only one world baron in the enemy army, and Kant could deal with it on his own. When he saw that, he did not need to specifically ask the mages to block the number of Nature Summon spells so that they could be used as cannon fodder to deal with the world baron.

After the 1,000 Enfath Empire Mages heard the order, they immediately cast the Nature Summon spell. Each of the mages could summon five golem puppets with the spell. Therefore, in just a short while, the two armies were separated from each other by 5,000 golem puppets that were slow in movement but were extremely powerful. At this moment, the two armies had just gathered 200 meters away from each other.

Kacha. Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s face was ashen. Under his cold expression, anger surged.

“Darn it, Baron Kant actually used such a method to stop my army from approaching his army!”

In fact, Kant’s worry was reasonable. The soldiers that contained the cursed stone could be said to be the trump card of the Cameron family. Although it took a long time to nurture this army, it was very cost-effective and the cost was relatively small. In the past, in the fief, many powerful demon armies were not much weaker than the black-armored knights. They were destroyed by the soldiers who had the cursed stone.

At this moment, in Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s army, there were a total of 8,500 knights who were charging at Kant. Apart from 1,500 black-armored knights and 2,000 heavy cavalries at the Grand Knight level, there were another 5,000 heavy cavalries several times the number of official knights.

Among these 5,000 heavy cavalries at the official knight level, there were 3,000 fake “heavy cavalries” with cursed stones. They wore wooden armors that were similar to the armor of official knights and ran at the front of the group, when they were close to Baron Kant’s army, they used the same trick again and threw the cursed stone, causing Kant’s soldiers to be cursed by them again.

“Mages, listen to my command. Control the golem puppets and push them towards the enemy!”

“Rhodok snipers, listen to my command. Target the enemy cavalries, shoot freely!”

At this distance, if Kant wanted to attack the enemy, only the golem puppet summoned by the mages and Rhodok snipers, who had a range of more than 300 meters, could do so. Since that was the case, Kant naturally would not be polite. Moreover, he could also test whether the enemy army still had the very troublesome soldiers with cursed stones.

The golem puppets advanced slowly according to the mages’ orders. When they got close to the enemy’s cavalries, they raised their heavy stone mountain walls and smashed them onto the enemy’s body.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

At the same time, 600 Rhodok snipers aimed their city-breaking crossbows at the enemy. Then, they shot out the thick and sharp city-breaking crossbows without hesitation.

At a distance of two hundred meters, the power of the city-breaking crossbows was relatively reduced. The enemy’s heavy cavalries, who had the strength of official knights, had a high chance of shooting down such crossbows.

However, the actual situation was true. Those official knights were clumsy. They waved the knight swords in their hands randomly and only cared about using their full strength to kill the golem puppets that were attacking them, they did not pay any attention to the crossbow arrows shot by Rhodok snipers.
