Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 497: Omission in Strategic Planning

As for the king of sin, the king of evil, and so on, they were completely self-proclaimed. This was out of the need to spread their image among the believers.

Only the two titles of ruler of flame and master of flame were their true identities. This was their demon’s real name, and also the direction of their strength development.

These true demon nobles who had once stayed in this world and fought with the gods of this world were recorded in the ancient documents.

Ruler of Flames, Aamon Qieke came from the 76th level of the Abyss, the Flame Abyss. He was the demon baron in the Flame Abyss.

Master of Flames, Flensas also came from the 76th level of the Abyss, the Flame Abyss. He was also the demon baron in the Flame Abyss.

The demon baron was only the lowest level of existence among the demon nobles. Among the demons, the title of nobility was determined by strength. When one’s strength reached a certain level, the will of the Abyss would bestow him with an additional title.

“It would be great if one day, I could attack the abyss. The demons of the Abyss are living denar!”

Kant thought so in his heart.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Kant withdrew from his reverie and smiled self-deprecatingly. Once the door of ambition was opened, it would never close. He still had not conquer Dukedom of Leo yet. His thoughts were too far away.

“Please come in.” Kant said.

A Swadian Royal Knight walked in.

The full plate armor was worn on his body and polished to a smooth and shiny finish. Even though it was covered with a linen coat, it was still shining under the candlelight. There were exquisite patterns carved on it. It was so beautiful that it did not look like a knight who had been on the battlefield for a long time, it was a work of art meticulously crafted by an artist. It was the most perfect war art!

The three-meter-long heavy armor-piercing lance was held in one arm. The kite-shaped shield on the left arm was inlaid with fine steel. In the light blue cloak that fluttered behind him, the gilded knight sword was on the left side of his waist. There was also a slender spiked warhammer hanging on the right side.

“Lord, Mr. Baheshtur requests to meet you!”

The Swadian Royal Knight said respectfully to Kant.

“Invite him in!”

Kant closed the ancient document in his hand. Baheshtur must have come to talk about official business. It was not appropriate for him to continue reading this document. It was not in line with etiquette, and it would appear that he did not respect Baheshtur enough.

“It is my honor to meet you, my lord!”

After Baheshtur entered, he first greeted Kant respectfully. Then, he held a roll of parchment in both hands and respectfully presented it to Kant.

“Lord, these are the war plans for the attack on Lionheart City. Please decide!”

Kant took the parchment and casually praised, “Not bad. It has only been two days and you have already prepared the war plans. Thank you for your hard work.”

Baheshtur smiled. The praise from his Lord Kant made him happy from the bottom of his heart. He said humbly, “It’s not hard. It’s my duty and pleasure to share the lord’s worries.”

Kant glanced at Baheshtur in amusement. These words came from the mouth of a nomadic thug like him.

Kant felt very comfortable listening to it.

He carefully looked through Baheshtur’s war plan. The Swadian Royal Knights stood respectfully at the side. Baheshtur stood on the opposite side of the solid wooden table. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he waited for Kant’s decision.

The room was silent. There was only the sound of the sheepskin roll being dragged on the solid wooden table and the occasional crackling sound of the burning high-quality honey wax.

Half an hour had passed.

Kant carefully considered Baheshtur’s war plan and found that it was very good.

Seeing his highness Kant reroll his war plan, the anticipation in Baheshtur’s eyes became even stronger.

Kant’s right middle finger gently tapped on the expensive long table made of solid wood, rhythmically.

Baheshtur’s heart also followed Kant’s tap, up and down.

After pondering for a moment, Kant said, “Baheshtur, your war plan is very good, almost perfect!”

Hearing Kant’s praise, Baheshtur was overjoyed. His highness Kant’s affirmation was his greatest pursuit in this world.

At this moment, Kant said, “However, there are some flaws in this war plan.”

Baheshtur became serious. Although he liked to hear Lord Kant’s praise, if there were any flaws in his war plan, it would very likely lead to the entire war going from victory to defeat. Therefore, Baheshtur said with utmost seriousness, “I hope Lord can give me some pointers.”

A small nest of ants could cause a strong dam to burst during a flood.

The war plan concerned the fate of thousands of people, as well as the fate of victory and defeat. Baheshtur did not want any flaws. If there were, he would definitely change it.

Kant said, “In Lionheart City, apart from the garrison team controlled by the four noble families, you have also considered the private soldiers of the other noble families. This is very good.”

After a pause, Kant continued, “However, you have forgotten about the two extremely powerful forces!”

After listening to Kant’s words, Baheshtur frowned and thought hard. He wanted to find out which force he had neglected when he was making the war plan?

Kant did not immediately give an answer. In his opinion, if Baheshtur could discover it by himself, it would be better than finding it through his advice.

Baheshtur filtered the information he knew about Lionheart City one by one in his heart and eliminated them one by one. But in the end, he was disappointed to find that he still did not understand that he had neglected the two forces.

He could only ask Kant for help. “Lord, I have racked my brains. I really did not think of the flaws in my war plan. I do not know if I have neglected the two forces.”

Kant said, “The association of mages in Lionheart City, and the War Temple of the God of War, Edmund!”

Baheshtur was a person who had come to this world from the Continent of Caradia, even though he had seen the powerful strength of the mages under Kant and the followers of the Crimson Sect

However, when formulating the war plan, he still used the thinking method of the world of Caradia. He did not take into account the association of mages in Lionheart City and the War Temple of the God of War, Edmund.

These two places were forces that controlled a large number of extraordinary powers and could greatly influence the war situation.

Once Kant reminded him, Baheshtur knew that he had made an empirical mistake.

He quickly said, “Lord, if that’s the case, then I’ll go and re-investigate and make a new war plan!”

Kant opened his mouth and said, “Okay!”

He handed the sheepskin scroll back to Baheshtur and let him leave to rearrange it.

Kant wanted to say that Lionheart City had these two forces with extraordinary powers, but they also had extraordinary powers that were no weaker than Lionheart City. It would be fine to fight according to his war plan.

But Kant also considered that it would be better for Baheshtur to discover it himself.

His heroes would have to stand alone for him in the future. This matter would allow Baheshtur to grow even better.
