nThe golem rampaged among the Riesneston River Pirates.
nAs a fully constructed creature, there was no restriction of a body of flesh and blood. This group of creatures, which were entirely made of stone and magic carvings, was, in a sense, a complete killing machine!
nThe two-handed sledgehammer and two-handed battle axe were held in the hands of the golem, and every swing caused a rain of blood.
nThere were also the pirates who were sent flying by the terrifying force of the sledgehammer.
nNo one was a match for them!
nEven the elite pirates, who were wearing mail armor and holding a round shield and longsword, could only retreat step by step in the face of the frenzied golem. Their bodies trembled as they tried to leave.
nNo one wanted to die, and no one wanted to be buried in the hands of these golem statues and become a fallen corpse.
nBecause this place had become a bloody battlefield.
nThat’s right.
nThe massacre was continuing!
nThe pirates of the Resniston River had mistakenly treated Kant as someone they could bully and kill.
nJust like those merchants back then, they thought that they could easily win the final victory, and then quickly leave on the battleship. In the end, they would obtain immeasurable wealth and live the lives of the rich.
nHowever, the bony reality made them understand that all of this was impossible.
nThe golem’s massacre continued.
nAnd on the left and right sides.
nMamlukes and Sarrandian horseman charged in again.
nThe original petal-like formation had been destroyed like a mud pit, and anyone could step on it.
nAs for the elite long lance soldiers of the silver platter kingdom, who were originally neat and relied on the river bandits of the Resniston River, they had completely collapsed under the Golem’s fearless charge.
nIn just a short moment, the massacre began, and blood converged into a river.
nThe massacre.
nTheir lives were withering.
nEven the more than 30 priests of the dark red cult were struck to death by lightning from the sky when they tried to cast their spells.
nThe mages of the Emfath Empire had always been paying attention to their own kind. If it was not for Kant’s attempt to wipe all of them out in an instant, a single AOE spell would probably be able to wipe out many people. The mages’ physiques were not high at all.
nBut casting an AOE spell required too much.
nFor example, lethal deep frost.
nAfter casting it.
nThe entire area would become a place covered in cold.
nThe enemies in the middle of the spell would undoubtedly freeze to death, and even the people around them would be frostbitten. However, the cold wouldn’t dissipate in a short period of time. Even if their own troops stepped in, it would still only cause a slight impact.
nDue to the aftereffects of the AOE spell, Kant did not give the order to release it in this battle.
nJust the charging formation of the golems.
nAnd the sweeping of the cavalry was enough.
nJust like now.
nThe battle situation was gradually becoming clear. The Riesnidon River Bandits that were on the verge of collapse were completely unable to stop the cavalry that was getting fiercer and fiercer. Even the golems were able to completely break through the formation of the bandits.
nIn the end, the group of water bandits of the Resniston River chose to flee.
nThey cried and fled in the direction of the river.
nThe distance was not far.
nThree kilometers.
nHowever, this three kilometer distance was the distance from the human world to hell!
nHow could a group of infantrymen fight against the cavalry? Even if there were a few existences who possessed extraordinary powers among the group of water bandits of the Resniston River, they were easily defeated by the royal knights.
nCountless people died in the battle. Even the elite long lance soldiers connected to the silver platter kingdom were turned into corpses.
nKant did not choose to capture them.
nHe did not need them.
nThe purpose of this battle was to wake up the noble families of the eastern county.
nIt was to let these noble families know who was the strongest king and the true power that controlled this estate.
nApart from a few knights and knight attendants of the silver platter kingdom who fled on horseback, the remaining 5,000 people were all chased and killed by the Sarrandan people, who numbered less than 2,000. They harvested the land in patches.
nEven if they fled to the two farms and the forest where they had previously stayed, it would not do.
nThey had already become defeated soldiers.
nThey could not be called an army.
nThere were no soldiers who could withstand the attack. The defeated soldiers who were like sheep and had been carried away by the fear of the masses were finally met with death by the machetes and spears from the Sarrandian Sultanate.
nEven the peasant farmers who were waiting on the farm were slaughtered.
nBaheshtur personally gave the order.
nThere was no other way.
nSince they dared to collude with the pirates, there was no need to live.
nNo matter which noble’s farm this was, Kant did not need to care about it. In the current Dukedom of Leo, there was almost no one who dared to fight with him!
nIn the temporary camp, a small group of pirates stood respectfully in front of the tent.
nThey put down their weapons.
nThey weren’t captives.
nThe few people in the lead were the few pirates who reported to Kant.
nThe former subordinates of Princess Sofia had now completely sided with Kant and made the wisest decision.
nThey avoided the consequences of being massacred. They looked at the pirates they were familiar with, and even some of their friends, who had been massacred. Not only did they not harbor any resentment, they even gloated over their misfortune.
nHaving lived enough as pirates, they did not want to get involved with these pirates at all.
nNow.
nThey were not pirates.
nThey were the enviable country gentry under Baron Kant!
nBecause just now, Baron Kant had already acknowledged their identity, and even promised to draw a piece of land for them in the eastern county. If they were willing to continue to become knights, as long as they had the means to do so, they would head to the Stone Pass.
nBaron Dylan was also a noble, and he had the right to be conferred titles.
nOf course.
nKant had already taken control of the Stone Pass.
nThen all the local rights would be inherited by Kant, even if he was conferred titles.
nBut to Kant, there was no pressure at all to continue to being conferred as knights. It could even be the effect of buying horse bones with thousands of gold coins. After all, these water bandits were once knights, and were the former subordinates of Princess Sofia.
nIn this way, it was extremely useful in attracting the other former subordinates to join him.
nKant did not have much feelings for his cheap mother.
nAfter all, he had not seen her too much since he was young.
nHowever…
nThose old subordinates who were scattered in the Dukedom of Leo, or even the silver platter kingdom, could be used by him.
nThis was only a small trick used by the noble families, especially when they completely defeated the Pirates of the Resniston River near the Dukedom of Leo. This meant that this part of the water would be completely controlled by Kant’s nord village.
nThe nords were born merchants and sailors. Taking over the power vacuum left behind by the pirates was a piece of cake for them.
nThe help of the pirates was also a part of it.
nNext.
nKant’s goal was to completely annex the Dukedom of Leo.
nAfter all, he had already taken down more than half of the eastern county territory and a small part of the northern county territory, including the Riesneston River in this region. Kant’s strength had already accumulated to the point where he could challenge the authority.
nFor example, the noble system of the Dukedom of Leo, and his father, Cameron!
