Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 602
Chapter 602: The so-called Father
As for those who were a little higher, they were all qualified to join the black-armored knights.
Due to the difference in strength and equipment, the Swadian royal knights could easily defeat three Grand Knight-level heavy cavalries by themselves. Even Rhodok sergeants could deal with one of them by himself. As for the Swadian sergeants, he needed three to deal with one.
Apart from that, there were 5,000 regular heavy cavalries at the official knight of the troop. Their individual strength was equivalent to Kant’s 4-level troop class. However, this only meant that they were stronger than Kant’s 3-level troop class, it was not that they could really be comparable to Kant’s 4-level troop class. Kant’s 4-level troop class could easily defeat the peak of the official knights in this world.
Among the 5,000 ordinary heavy cavalries of the official knight level, there were only 100 to 200 soldiers at the peak level of the official knight. The rest were only at the initial stage, middle stage, and high stage of the official knight, compared to the 4-level troop class under Kant, they were much weaker.
In addition, there were 10,000 elite infantrymen. Similar to the 5,000 official knights, the individual strength of these infantrymen had reached the official knight class. However, there were only 400 to 500 soldiers at the peak level of the official knight, the rest were also at the initial stage, middle stage, and high stage of the official knight level.
No matter how fierce the cavalry was, the infantrymen were indispensable troops. In fact, the powerful infantrymen were not inferior to the cavalry at all. They could even counter the cavalry. However, the Cameron family obviously valued the cavalry more. All the soldiers above the grand knight level were cavalry. In terms of offensive power, the cavalry that charged up was indeed the number one existence among all the troops.
Apart from the above troops, Ryan. Isai. Cameron also had 1500 archers under his command.
These 20,000 soldiers all exuded a cold and merciless aura. Anyone who looked at them would know that they were elite soldiers who had experienced war for a long time. Many of the soldiers also had this terrifying and ferocious scar on their bodies. This scar on the battlefield did not make people feel ugly. Instead, it was more like a medal that grew on their bodies.
Behind Kant, Dunde suddenly sighed. “Lord, this is the first time we have seen an army that is not much inferior to us in terms of morale since we followed you on this world’s expedition. This army is very strong, and it is also an army with a soul.”
Kant said with a smile, “They are the army in Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s fief. As far as I know, they have to fight a great war every year. Many times, the enemy’s strength is not weaker than theirs, or even stronger. However, they are fighting on their own land and have the geographical advantage, so their chances of winning are greater.”
Kant felt the smoke of war coming from this army, his face gradually became serious. “However, I did not expect that there would be a very cruel war every year. It is surprising that the strength of Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s army would still be so strong.”
This was not a joke. With Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s current strength, even if he were to fight against all the upper-class noble families in the South County, the only one who would win would be Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron.
Just based on the strength that he displayed, it was only slightly inferior to Kant’s current strength when he entered the Lion Fort. Although the enemy’s number was more than three times that of Kant’s soldiers, the difference in individual soldiers’ strength was too huge. Moreover, Kant’s army had a total of 1000 mages. On the battlefield, if a mage had a favorable environment to deal damage, his battle strength could even match five Grand Knight-level soldiers.
Kant continued in a relaxed tone, “However, although the enemy is strong, we are stronger. When the two armies are facing each other, sometimes when they are stronger, the difference is thousands of miles. Moreover, I have many means to increase the strength of the soldiers. If there is no external force involved in this battle, it will be a one-sided war.”
At this point, Kant had already experienced many wars. With regards to the situation of the war, the comparison of the strength of both sides, and the tilt of the battlefield, he had a more objective grasp of victory and defeat. At this moment, even if Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron used the domineering aura of the army, even with the strict military discipline, large numbers, and outstanding strength, Kant still did not have the slightest bit of worry as he was confident of winning.
Because other than being outnumbered, Kant knew that his army was stronger than the enemy’s in all other aspects.
As the armies of both sides took up positions on the spacious square in Lion Fort, war was about to break out.
At this moment, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron stepped out from the opposing army and came to the front of his army.
He spoke in a clear voice, his voice was so cold that it was almost indiscernible. “Kant, my son! Are you going to kill your father today?”
At this moment, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was also forced into a dead-end by Kant. After seeing the strength of Kant’s army yesterday, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, who was also experienced in battle, quickly determined that the overall strength of his army was much weaker than Kant’s. However, he had already drawn out all the available soldiers in his fief and demiplane. At this moment, his strength was already the limit of what he could do.
Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron did not expect that Baron Kant would attack the Lion Fort so decisively in the morning. Moreover, he even used a strange move to take down the gate of the Lion Fort. According to his expectations, he should have been able to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, but now it was time for the decisive battle between him and Kant.
Although the family had already arranged for a way out, who would not care about their own life and death? As the Baron of the world, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron would only care more than ordinary people.
Therefore, at this last moment, even though he knew that Kant had a heart of stone and was determined to kill him, he still spoke. If he wanted to shake Kant’s faith in the name of his father, he could at least buy some time.
At the very least, he could make Kant bear the crime of “patricide” and make Kant’s soldiers alienate him. This might affect the combat strength of Kant’s soldiers, allowing him to find a chance to survive in a desperate situation.
Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was probably the smartest among the five world barons. Therefore, if there was something that required the five world barons to act together, the other four world barons would always act according to Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s opinion.
At this moment, facing his own desperate situation, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s match instantly gave Kant a difficult problem. Regardless of whether Kant admitted or retreated, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was a sure win. It could be considered as killing three birds with one stone.
However, hearing Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s words, Kant only sighed with melancholy.
“It was only yesterday that I understood why I was treated like that all these years. I was treated like trash by my own family!” Kant paused for a moment, a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of sadness and understanding. “Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, didn’t you say that your son Kant died when he was three years old? I always thought that I was your son. I used to be respectful to you, look up to you, admired you. I also thought of you as a great hero. But as time passed, you gradually died in my heart, just like your son Kant died in your heart when he was three years old.”
