The junction of the two counties between Marsburg and Fort Selia is a plain terrain that is most conducive to the cavalry's power. The nobles of the South County celebrated their victory in advance. It's really not that they are too arrogant.
It's only strange that they thought their opponent was the North County leader coalition army, but they didn't know that their real opponent was actually Baron Kant.
The army under Baron Kant cannot be measured by the conventional military strength in this world.
They did not belong to this world, but came from the war-torn world of cavalry and slashing. The combat effectiveness of ordinary troops was already higher than that of this world.
As for Baron Kant, he was an insane and crazy violent soldier. All the troops that could be upgraded would be upgraded for him.
Therefore, the number of troops under him may only be equivalent to the number of troops of a top noble in Nanjun, but his terrifying strength, if he really fights with the top noble of Nanjun, he can beat the top noble of Nanjun. Call Dad.
Not to mention that among the 30,000 infantry phalanx, there are 2,000 fourth-tier Swadian infantry, and 3,000 third-tier Swadian light infantry who disrupted the 25,000 North County Army and East County Army. , overall planning and response. It makes the entire 30,000 infantry as one, like a reef out of the water in the endless sea, which can remain motionless despite the beating of the stormy waves.
Such a phalanx of 30,000 infantry is definitely not something that 15,000 heavy cavalry of Fort Selia can easily crush after a few charges.
Just talking about the 5,000 heavy cavalry belonging to Baron Kant, even if the front and the 15,000 heavy cavalry of Fort Selia are on the plain terrain at the junction of the North County Territory and the South County Territory, which is extremely suitable for cavalry charges.
It can make these 15,000 heavy cavalrymen of the South County, and the nobles of the South County with the mentality of winning, understand why there is a word in this world called "despair".
It's a pity that Baron Kant's terrifying troops took action either in the depths of the Nalun Desert blocked by the central station, or in the desolate Sangwaya Mountains, or in the underground passages and underground temples. The battles that took place in these places have never been known to the outside world.
Their opponents have never been the regular army of this world.
On the contrary, it is the alien army whose physical fitness is far superior to that of human beings, or the even weirder undead army. Even in the Sanwaya Mountains, the opponents are demonized creatures and even more terrifying demons.
Even the battle that made Baron Kant famous in the entire Lion Principality and was recognized as a nobleman with top-level noble strength was the battle that took place in the Death Penalty Mountains and wiped out the headquarters of the Dark Red Sect.
The enemies in that battle still couldn't be measured by the regular human army. They were all semi-demonic fanatics who were infused with demon power and fearless of life and death, and powerful demon incarnations summoned by Viscount Gibran with countless blood sacrifices.
However, even with this battle, the nobles from all walks of life in the Principality of Lions did not find any specific news.
They just deduced that Baron Kant possessed terrifying strength from the easy destruction of the Dark Red Sect, a force comparable to the top nobles.
The water bandits encountered by Baron Kant on the way back from the headquarters of the Dark Red Sect to his third castle, Sargos, were nothing but mobs, which made the nobles of the Lion Principality a joke in vain. It is impossible to truly reveal the true strength of Baron Kant's troops.
At the junction of the North County Territory and the South County Territory, there are many stragglers roaming around.
These are spies from different forces. If they encounter personnel from hostile forces, they will even fight directly.
They were able to cruise around the battlefield so calmly, thanks to Fatis's heart that resolutely carried out Kant's will. environment, you don’t need to be like a mouse, secretly hiding in a hidden corner and spying secretly.
The sense of smell of the nobles and various human forces is absolutely keen, after Rolf gave up the action of killing all suspicious people around the battlefield.
These spies from the nobles of the Lion Principality or other forces, the nobles of the Silver Plate Kingdom or other forces, and even other human kingdoms and principality nobles or other forces, are like vultures smelling carrion, constantly coming from all over the world. Come.
At this time, the spies near the battlefield were only a small part.
More spies are still on the way at this time, using the fastest speed they can use, and dare to come to this battlefield regardless of everything.
After all, it was only two days since Rolf gave up the killing.
The reason why they are so crazy is entirely driven by sufficient interests.
Produced in the depths of the Nalun Desert, it is the whitest and finest table salt that the human race has ever seen, like a work of art.
Bags of salt flowed from the Nalun Desert, and thousands of golden eagles and large silver coins gathered from all over the world towards the central station of the Nalun Desert.
Take a look at the benefits.
The Northern Commandery of the Principality of Lions has become completely prosperous and prosperous just by collecting the passer-by business tax from the salt merchants. If the Northern Commandery develops for another two years, it may not be comparable to the Southern Commandery before the rebel rebellion.
Let's take a look at Baron Kant. It is precisely because he controls the salt output in the depths of the Nalun Desert. In just one year, he has changed from a guy who was like a joke after dinner in the entire Lion Principality to a guy who is used by the entire Lion Principality. All the nobles recognize it, and it is a top-level noble that is worthy of the name and even somewhat unclear.
The nobles and various powerful forces in this world have never underestimated the power of money.
They attribute Baron Kant's strength entirely to the wealth that Baron Kant has acquired that is so rich that any human force can be tempted.
With money, you can develop a more powerful force.
The more powerful the power, the more money can be grabbed.
Money is the common pursuit of all forces, even the biggest pursuit.
No one knows how big the salt mine in the Nalun Desert is, but judging from the increasing amount of fine white salt sold by Baron Kant, it is obviously astonishingly large.
The amount of wealth represented by such a salt mine is enough to attract any force, even if they know the chances are slim, they never mind trying it out.
The infantry phalanx led by Fatis moved to the middle area between Fort Mars and Fort Selia, separated by a distance of twenty-five miles between the two castles, and stopped moving forward.
Instead, they set up camp directly.
This camp was set up in a very orderly manner. A real famous general on the battlefield will understand that this army is definitely a tough one when they see such a well-organized camp of Fatis.
It's hard to chew it off easily.
Fatis did it on purpose!
He was worried that the gang of nobles in Nanjun were too useless, so he directly led the army to attack the infantry phalanx he led regardless.
If that's the case, Fatis is confident that the 15,000 heavy cavalry on the opposite side will be trapped in his phalanx of 30,000 infantry, and they will be devoured and wiped out.
This can lead to victory, but such a victory is not what Fatis wants.
There are 30,000 of these infantry.
The 25,000 infantry came from the coalition of the nobles of the North County and the coalition of the East County, and there were only 5,000 infantry from Kant's crown.
If the 15,000 heavy cavalry of the South County were eliminated in this way, then the credit for eliminating the other party was attributed to Baron Kant, or to the North County and East County Noble Alliance
Fatis, who had carefully prepared the decisive battle plan, did not allow such a casual war scene to appear.
This war is a show.
The army under Kant's crown is the protagonist, the 15,000 heavy cavalry from the Southern Commandery who have been promoted to the strongest state are the villains, and the aristocratic coalition forces from the Northern and Eastern Commanderies are the supporting roles.
And most importantly, the spies of most forces in the world, as the audience.
Not one less!
This battle is the real first battle in which Kant announced his appearance to the world, revealing his ferocity. Fatis strives to be shocking and exciting!
