Chapter 538. Gradually overcast skies
Ten Sarion Lion Knights soon found another ten Sarion Lion Knights who had been assigned by Kant to be sentinels, and all of them were knocked out and hid in the barracks.
Unlike those nobles who couldn't wake up, these ten Sarion lion knights were all awakened after being slightly shaken by their comrades.
The black-armored knight, as Kant had expected, did not kill them.
Soon, Besture had set up the defenses of the east gate of Lionheart.
Again, just 200 soldiers.
150 crossbowmen, plus 50 Rhodok sergeants.
They are all level 5 troops, and the lunges are just right to defend the city.
However, such 200 soldiers should be able to defend at the south gate of Lionheart City, as well as the north gate of Lionheart City. Even in the face of two or three thousand siege troops, they can hold out until Kant sends reinforcements.
But at the East City Gate, the situation is not so easy to say.
This is the aristocratic district, and their strength is really strong.
"My lord, my subordinates can only arrange these garrison troops at this east gate."
Besture said as he returned to Kant.
"The strength of the Temple of War is unknown, and we can't spread too many troops on top of the garrison."
Kant bowed his head, glanced at the aristocratic district of Dongcheng District, and said:
"I can only capture the West City Gate, and then I can do it!"
Subsequently, Kant did not delay, and directly led the army towards Xicheng District.
Today's plan was originally to capture the East City Gate and then coerce and pacify the nobles in the aristocratic district, but now these nobles are all asleep, and when they wake up depends entirely on the settings made by the archmage who casts their spiritual imprisonment.
Coercion and appeasement or anything, naturally there is no way to talk about it.
Kant led the army all the way to the west, with the presence of mages, and they randomly released a few groups for the foot army to speed up, so that Kant's march speed was very fast.
The weather that had been sunny suddenly became gloomy.
Kant looked up at the sky, and at some point, the sun was obscured by heavy dark clouds.
On both sides of the East Avenue, the neatly planted purple shirt trees, at this time the leaves are also blown by the strong wind, and the branches are constantly shaking violently.
The clouds are falling, and the wind is blowing.
"It's going to rain!"
At this time, Kant led the army and was about to arrive in the central area of Lionheart, and the pedestrians on the original avenue, because of Kant's army, mostly hid in the surrounding buildings again, and did not dare to show their heads at will.
Only a few people dared to stand on the side of the road, observe Kant's army, and even point fingers.
After all, Kant didn't do anything to them when he passed through them before.
"All stopped!"
"The mage listens to the order and casts the 'Sharp Gold Blade' and 'Crowd Acceleration' spells on all knights!"
Kant suddenly gave the order!
Hearing Kant's order, the mages quickly applied a "Sharp Gold Blade" status spell to all knights, and then gave the knights time to "group accelerate" status spells. Then, they retreated back into their original ranks.
Swarm acceleration, no need to explain more, buff magic that increases swarm speed.
Blade of Sharp Gold:
Status spells.
The mage increases the magic of the surrounding soldiers, the range is about 10 meters around the soldiers, and after casting, the magic elements will converge on the weapons in the soldier's hand, making melee weapons such as sword blades, blades, and gun blades sharper, causing greater casualties to the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, Kant ordered the cavalry to arrange before the charge.
According to the current dense formation, it is impossible to charge, that is looking for death!
Kant was so because:
At this time, Kant saw from a distance that the West Avenue, seven or eight miles away, was already covered with dense troops.
The army was numerous, filling the West Avenue like a blood-colored river.
The knights of the Temple of War, the knight armor they wear, is the uniform blood red, and the sacrifices of the Temple of War, the sacrificial robes they wear, are also blood red. There are also some infantry-like War Temple Guards, who are also blood-red, and even their shields are blood-red.
The color of blood red looks like bright red blood, and at the same time, it can represent majestic battle spirit and fearless courage. On the battlefield, the most important thing is the wanton splashing and flowing blood, and the majestic fighting spirit and fearless courage are also the most precious qualities on the battlefield.
As the army and sacrifice of the god of war, they are naturally blood-red.
Seven or eight miles away, Kant could feel the overwhelming aura of that army.
But seven or eight miles away, Kant could not see in detail how many troops were there that gathered in the West Avenue like a blood-red river.
Judging by the size alone, the number will not be less than his army.
Moreover, there are a huge number of cavalry!
At this time, Kant's army, numbering three or four thousand.
At the forefront, Kant led the heavy cavalry that had been arranged.
250 Swadia royal knights, 240 Saarion lion knights, 500 Mamluks, a total of 990 extremely formidable heavy cavalry.
In Lionheart, the East-West Avenue is as wide as the North-South Avenue, both of which are 30 meters wide. There is a row of every 10 knights, and there are nearly 100 rows of cavalry alone.
At the forefront, there are Swadia Royal Knights and Saarion Lion Knights at intervals, one row of Swadia Royal Knights and one row of Saarion Lion Knights. Behind it was 50 Pai Mamluks. Kant, just between the last row of the Lion Knights of Saarion. Almost in the center of all cavalry.
Moreover, every two rows are separated by at least five meters of each other.
Cavalry charges require a large enough space.
The rest of the army immediately behind the heavy cavalry led by Kant, which Kant handed over to Besture to lead, and they were all non-cavalry. The lineup is much denser.
Besture also saw the army on the West Avenue, and when he heard Kant's order to halt the whole army, Besture immediately set it up.
He also asked the mage to cast the two buff spells "Sharp Golden Blade" and "Crowd Acceleration" on all armies before arranging all armies except cavalry.
At the front, there were 850 Sergeants Rhodok, with nearly fifty or sixty in each platoon, a total of sixteen or seventeen platoons, and they were densely packed.
The sixteenth and seventeenth rows of Rodok sergeants only occupy the length of the East Avenue of twelve or thirteen meters, and the density can be imagined.
Infantry against cavalry could only be countered by dense phalanxes.
Hold off the cavalry!
If you can't stop it, then let the cavalry trap it!
The wide and wide shields were layered on top of each other, and although the defense was not as good as that of the Swadia Sergeant who used the tower shield to penetrate deep into the earth on the plain battlefield, Sergeant Rhodok was also not to be underestimated.
