Chapter 591: Changes in the battlefield situation
“Sigh, let’s retreat! Baron Kant is ten times harder to deal with than we imagined!” Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese said with a depressed voice.
The five world barons had already used up more than half of their power of rules. According to their previous expectations, they should have left the encirclement of the golems and landed on the flat ground.
On the flat ground, with their strength, it would be much easier for them to block or dodge the arrows and magic. They would be able to easily get to Baron Kant’s side. As long as they reached Baron Kant’s side, his archers and mages would not be able to attack at will.
The speed of the battle between the world nobles was very fast. Their figures flashed. With the strength of the archers and mages, they would not be able to provide long-range support when they were fighting against Baron Kant.
However, the above was only the expected situation.
The reality was that the five world barons had already advanced more than 300 meters in the direction of Baron Kant. However, under their feet, there were still seemingly endless golems, and the distance between them and Baron Kant was not even the slightest bit closer, moreover, according to Baron Kant’s plan, if they continued, other than wasting the power of rules, they would gain nothing.
Baron Kant’s move was too ruthless. It was inconvenient for them to dodge and move on top of the golem, so they could only receive the rain of arrows and the bombardment of spells. The golem under their feet, under Baron Kant’s orders, was controlled by the mages to continuously detour from their rear to their front, making it impossible for them to escape the encirclement of the golem. They could only move on top of the golem, at the same time, they forcefully blocked the terrifying rain of arrows and the bombardment of spells.
If it were not for the fact that they were wearing magic iron armor with extremely strong defense, perhaps all five of them would have been killed by the densely packed arrows and endless spells.
“Retreat!” Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron estimated the situation on the battlefield and decisively agreed with Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese. He was also the first to run away from Kant, the archers, and the mages above the golems.
Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron not only noticed how Kant was dealing with them, but they were also unable to get close to Baron Kant, causing them to waste their power of rules, they also noticed that the Swadian royal knights and the Sarleon lion knights, who had escaped the “curse of mutual destruction”, were even more valiant than the black-armored knights. They were able to kill the “heavy cavalries” that he had specially trained, it was as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
The armor made of wood on the “heavy cavalries” was simply a joke on the real battlefield. Their armor was suitable for fighting against the enemy when the “curse of mutual destruction” was still in effect. Since their defense was almost non-existent, the enemy could injure or even kill them if they were not careful and this would help the enemy to achieve their goal.
However, at this moment, the “curse of mutual destruction” that they had spent more than ten years to nurture with their own blood essence had automatically dissipated due to the time limit, if they still went up to fight with the Swadian royal knights and the Sarleon lion knights at this moment, they were simply courting death.
The five world barons quickly retreated from the top of the golems. A hint of determination flashed in Kant’s eyes. At this moment, the five world nobles had already used up a large amount of the power of rules. If they were to retreat to the Lion Fort, the previous consumption of their power would be in vain.
The world baron’s power of rules could recover very quickly. If he could not destroy them in one go and let them recover for an hour or two, their power of rules would regain its full status.
They could not be allowed to leave so easily! No matter what, he had to leave one or two world nobles behind!
Kant ordered, “Sarleon Lion Knights, continue to kill the Lion Fort’s heavy cavalry corps. All Swadian royal knights, listen up. Surround five of the world’s nobles and stop them at all costs!”
After the intense battle, there were only about 920 Swadian royal knights left. Most of them had just died because of the curse. After all, be it the Swadian royal knights or the Sarleon Lion Knights, they were both rank six troops. The equipment provided by the system was of high quality and their defense was very strong.
Although the enemy was a heavy cavalry, they did not enter the charging stance and fought with the Swadian royal knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights on horseback. Under such circumstances, they were not even comparable to infantry. Their attack strength was not enhanced by the speed of the warhorse, and because they did not have a dense formation, they could not bombard the same Swadian royal knights or the Sarleon Lion Knights at the same time, therefore, for the Swadian royal knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights who had very strong combat skills and self-defense, the threat was very limited.
Since the start of the war, there were only about 2,000 fake and inferior “heavy cavalries” who belonged to the Lion Fort. As for the 500 black-armored knights, there were only about 300 left. These enemies were not a troublesome army for the remaining 930-odd Sarleon Lion Knights. The 930-odd Sarleon Lion Knights could easily deal with these remaining enemies.
After receiving Kant’s order, the Swadian royal knights did not hesitate at all. They immediately withdrew from the battle circle and began to surround the rear of the golems. As for their remaining opponents, they were quickly taken over by the Sarleon Lion Knights, easily holding them back from chasing after the Swadian royal knights.
Without the arrows and spells to block them, the five world barons retreated very quickly. However, Kant’s orders were very decisive and swift, and the Swadian royal knights followed Kant’s orders without any discount.
As a result, the five world nobles who had just retreated from the golems were immediately blocked by more than 930 Swadian royal knights who surrounded them from all sides.
“Kill! Stop them for Lord Kant at all costs!”
The Swadian royal knights let out an earth-shattering roar as they raised their knight swords and slashed at the five world barons.
Compared to the world barons, the strength of the Swadian royal knights was not worth mentioning. However, the Swadian royal knights were different from the golems. The golems moved slowly while the Swadian royal knights moved swiftly. It was enough to cut off the path of the five world barons.
“Crossbowmen, assist the Sarleon Lion Knights and kill the heavy cavalries of Lion Fort! Mages, carefully control the puppets and surround the Swadian royal knights and the five world barons!” Kant gave another order.
At this moment, the crossbowmen and mages were no longer suitable to participate in the siege of the five world barons. Mages had limited spell slots, so there was no need to waste them on those random soldiers. However, the firepower of the crossbowmen could not be wasted.
