Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 582: An Ominous Premonition

The four world barons were extremely fearful of Baron Kant’s strength. This strength naturally referred to Baron Kant’s own strength and the strength of his army. The strength of a noble did not refer to the strength of an individual only. However, the more fearful they were, the more determined the killing intent in the four noble’s eyes became.

They had already plotted against Baron Kant several times, and they were determined to take Baron Kant’s life. Coincidentally, these plots had already been seen through by Baron Kant. Therefore, there was no possibility for them to reconcile with Baron Kant. They could only kill each other until one of them died. The world noble was different from the ordinary noble. It was difficult to resolve such a huge enmity with benefits.

This was because for the world noble who had immense power, they only cared about their own life and their own power. Benefits had also become a foil to their power. As long as they were not killed, the world noble could live on like a god for a long time. However, the price of their long live was that they had to go through a month of calamity once a year. Therefore, there were not many world nobles who could truly live forever like a god.

Because of this, even though they clearly had the power and lifespan to live forever, they always had to face an extremely intense life-and-death crisis. This made the world noble attach great importance to their own lives and safety. The five world nobles had plotted several times to take Baron Kant’s life. They had very deep hatred towards Kant. If Baron Kant did not die, he would use the lives of the five world barons to wash away the hatred they had for Baron Kant.

It was precisely because of this that the five world barons, including Baron Ryan Cameron, had no way to retreat when they faced Baron Kant. It was either Kant die or them!

This time, if the five of them could not kill Baron Kant, then they would no longer be stingy with the power in their demiplane fiefdom. They would certainly mobilize a powerful army from the fiefdom and demiplane to kill Baron Kant.

With the determination to kill Baron Kant, the four world barons also went down the city tower and headed toward the Lion Fort. Their equipment and warhorse were all stored in the Lion Fort. At this time, the four of them had already decided that they would rather not take twenty kilograms of abyssal magic iron from Baron Cameron and kill Baron Kant to avoid future trouble.

Baron Kant, who was extremely powerful in both his individual strength and his military strength, was only now truly valued by the four world nobles from the bottom of their hearts. Although they had mentioned Baron Kant’s strength in various ways, they still regarded Baron Kant as a fish on the chopping block that they could slaughter at will. The key was their willingness to pay a little price in order to kill Kant. Previously, they were not willing to pay a little price. From this aspect, it could be seen that their true attitude towards Kant was actually contempt.

Before Lion Fort, Kant had led 1,000 Swadian Royal Knight and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights to launch a charge. Meanwhile, 5,000 infantries followed behind the cavalries slowly and orderly. Once the cavalries at the front engaged, the infantries at the rear could quickly catch up and provide powerful support to the allies at the front.

“Kill! For His Highness Kant! Kill! For the Caradia Empire!”

With an imposing manner that soared to the sky, 1,000 Swadian Royal Knights and Sarleon Lion Knights shouted earth-shattering slogans. They charged forward like a golden and red intersecting torrent, they charged towards the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers of Lion Fort who were still standing motionless.

When the two armies were only 500 meters away from each other, the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights had already fully entered their charging posture. It seemed that they would charge towards the heavy cavalry soldiers of the Lion Fort in a short while.

Kant looked at the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers who were almost motionless on the opposite side. A hint of doubt and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be something fishy. Even if the overall strength of these 5,500 heavy cavalry troops was far inferior to the 1,000 Swadian Royal Knights and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights under Kant, whose strength had been greatly enhanced by the three domains, however, they should not just stand still and wait for Kant’s knights to charge.

Heavy cavalries, no matter what level they were, only when they entered the charging posture could they unleash their full power. Among the 5,500 heavy cavalries, not only were there 500 black armored knights whose aura was only slightly weaker than the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights, the other 5,000 heavy cavalries also had the individual strength of an official knight or above, it was equivalent to Kant’s level 4 heavy cavalry.

They had advantage in number of soldiers. If they were to clash with Kant’s knights, there was a high probability of failure, but it would definitely cause significant losses to Kant’s two cavalry legions. At the beginning, the distance between the two armies was enough for them to enter the charging posture together and engage in a clash. Kant had also made such preparations.

But now, even if the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers belonging of Lion Fort started to move, they would not have enough distance to enter the charging posture. They would not be able to cause any significant losses to Kant’s knights.

Kant was puzzled about this point. He was very clear that the current heavy cavalry troops of the Lion Fort were under the command of Viscount Carl Cameron. This was indeed in accordance with Kant’s intentions. Previously, Kant had let Viscount Carl Cameron and the other four top-level earls go because he wanted them to become the commander during the fight.

Although Kant’s goal of letting Viscount Carl Cameron became the enemy commander had been achieved, Kant did not think that Viscount Carl Cameron was so stupid. Setting up the cavalry in sparse shapes suitable for charging and then waiting for the enemy’s heavy cavalry to charge like infantry?

This was not funny at all!

Therefore, the closer he got to the enemy’s heavy cavalry corps, the heavier Kant’s heart became, and the bad premonition grew stronger.

Kant did not know much about Viscount Carl Cameron, even though Viscount Carl Cameron was his half-brother in name. He had seen Viscount Carl Cameron train the army through the goshawk, Kant knew that Viscount Carl Cameron might not have enough experience in war, but he definitely knew about the army and knowledge about war.

Such a person seemed to have made the most muddle-headed decision at this time. He used the cavalry as infantrymen and even formed a sparse formation to welcome the charge of Kant’s powerful cavalry.
