Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The five heavy cavalry legions had 500 official knights and 4,500 knight attendants. They were equipped with strong and excellent warhorses as well as standard cavalry armor and weapons. Logically speaking, they could easily defeat a mere 20,000 rebel soldiers, the motley crew, who were still wearing tattered coarse linen clothes and holding dung forks, wooden spears, and wooden shields as weapons and defensive equipment.
In the end, they were able to wipe all rebel army out!
Such an outcome made the South County nobles of Seria Castle feel extremely incredulous. They even suspected that the soldiers who sent the news had been bribed by the North County noble alliance army or the South County rebellion army.
However, when the news came one after another, the South County noble of Seria Castle had no choice but to accept this cruel reality, even if they did not believe it.
When the remaining three heavy cavalry legions heard the news, the soldiers were all terrified. Rumors started to spread in the army, and the morale of the army quickly dropped.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army and to find out the truth of the matter, the noble families of the South County quickly sent out elite squads to investigate the cause of the destruction of the five knight corps.
In the end, the elite squads found clues in the two abandoned farms. Although the bodies had been burned, there were still traces of battle left on the scene, the elite squads concluded that the five knight corps had been ambushed after they set up camp in the first abandoned farm, resulting in their failure.
After they broke out of the encirclement exhausted, the second abandoned farm was ambushed again, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.
The nobles in Seria Castle received the investigation report and cursed the Southern County rebellion army and the Northern County noble alliance army for being despicable.
At the same time, Viscount Kemil personally came out to comfort the remaining three heavy cavalry legions.
“My knights! I think you’ve heard the sad news. The fourth heavy cavalry legion has been wiped out!”
Viscount Kemil activated his extraordinary power as a grand knight, allowing his voice to reach the ears of all the 15,000 knights and knight attendants gathered in Seria Castle.
“However, do you know how they sacrificed themselves?”
Without any pause, Viscount Kemil even temporarily abandoned the reserved and calm demeanor of a noble. His expression was slightly distorted due to his anger. He activated his extraordinary power with all his might, causing his voice to explode to the maximum and raised this question, his voice was liked filling with raging fire of anger.
“Let me tell you, the knights of the fourth cavalry legion did not die on the glorious battlefield but died from a despicable sneak attack!”
Viscount Kemil paused for a moment this time. When all the knights and knight attendants focused their attention on him, and the desire for the truth surged out from their eyes, Viscount Kemil used a painful and resentful tone, as if he was complaining, he said the above words.
Following that, Viscount Kemil’s voice became low, filled with sorrow and pain.
“The fourth cavalry legion, those kind and brave knights, in order to protect our homeland, stop the atrocity of the South County rebellion army as soon as possible. After chasing for a day and a night without rest, they finally caught up with the despicable bastards of the Southern County rebellion army!”
Viscount Kemil looked at the 15,000 knights and knight attendants who were listening quietly and said, “After chasing for a day and a night, our knights are naturally very tired, and our horses are also very tired. It was nighttime again. The knights planned to rest for a night and wait until the next morning to crush the b*stards of the rebellion army of South County! “Therefore, they chose a very hidden farm to set up camp and began to rest.”
Viscount Kemil’s sorrowful news immediately turned into a soaring anger, and he said loudly, “However, someone from the useless army of the North County found out about the farm where our knights were resting. Then, they colluded with the despicable rebellion army of the South County and shamelessly ambushed our knights while they were sleeping!”
“Our knights were originally brave and invincible heavy cavalries who could crush everything on the battlefield. However, they were completely surrounded by the 20,000-man rebellion army of the South County. Their warhorses were not with them, and they were killed by the despicable rebellion army before they could even put on their armor.”
“Even so, our knights did not give up. After paying a terrible price, they successfully broke out of the encirclement.”
“The knights who broke out of the encirclement were exhausted, but they still persevered and ran for more than ten miles, leaving those despicable rebels behind.”
“However, the useless army of the North County, who had long been prepared, took advantage of the moment when the knights stopped and bandaging their wounds to launch another sneak attack on them!”
“You all already know the final result, my knights!”
Following that, Viscount Kemil’s voice was full of anger as he continued to speak, “If it wasn’t for the despicable army of the North County selling the news of our 4th cavalry legion to those b*stards of the South County rebellion army, and then ambushing the heavily injured knights of the fourth heavy cavalry legion, our knights would have already annihilated those b*stards of the South County rebellion army and be in the midst of a glorious victory!”
“My knights, do you think we should take revenge on the despicable army of the North County noble alliance army? Use their blood to wash away their sins and the humiliation suffered by the knights of the fourth legion?”
At the end of his words, Viscount Kemil roared. His face was flushed red, and he was very emotional.
“Revenge!”
“Revenge!”
“Revenge!”
Under the lead of the soldiers that the noble families of the South County had already arranged, 15,000 knights and knight attendants waved their right arms fiercely and shouted crazily and in unison.
With their hatred, the 15,000 knights and knight attendants who had already understood the ‘truth’ had their previous fear and uneasiness completely swept away, and their morale quickly rose.
Under the same hatred, the three heavy cavalry legions showed better coordination in the following training than before, and their combat strength greatly increased.
After finishing his speech, Viscount Kemil returned to the meeting hall where the command group formed by the noble families of the South County.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
Viscount Kemi walked to the front of the main seat covered with velvet cushions and sat down appropriately. He picked up the exquisite ceramic cup on the chairman’s table made of expensive wood in front of him. He elegantly and slowly drank more than half of the cup of fresh goat’s milk with a few pieces of date palm candy from the Oasis Lookout’s Drondheim sugar workshop. Only then did he continue to preside over the meeting that was interrupted by the speech.
“Baron Harry Kendy, after the nobles in the command group have agreed, the verdict is that the commander of the fourth cavalry legion, Grand Knight Lake Kendy, whom you have recommended, has an unshirkable responsibility for the destruction of the fourth cavalry legion.”
Viscount Kemil, as well as many nobles in the South County, all fixed their gazes on the third noble to the left of Viscount Kemil.
“After the nobles in the command group discussed, they finally decided that after the North County noble alliance army was victorious and the benefits were distributed, you need to take out half of your earnings and distribute it to Baron Tyr. Nunu, Baron Derek. Tate, Baron Ivan. Howard, and Sir Robin. Pullman, Sir Steve. Raglan. You are to compensate these five noble families for the loss of their family’s private soldiers!”
