Kant did not have much patience to begin with.
Towards the undead, Kant desired more than anything in his heart to destroy them quickly, from the source.
But the reason why he contracted the defensive line and relied on the castle to defend was because he was afraid of the high-level power hidden within the undead, which was once some relics left behind from the ancient times!
For example, the demons of the abyss that they had seen in the underground of the Senwaya Range.
Or the undead pope.
These were the people Kant was wary of and worried about!
These old fellows, the power of the ancient relics, could still be preserved even after ten thousand years. Even if they were extremely weak, they were still a threat to Kant.
A great threat!
That was why Kant remained vigilant.
The final goal of sending out the Swadian footman was to train the troops.
But there was another hidden goal, and that was to test them!
To test whether these old fogeys were around, apart from the skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers, whether there were any stronger undead troops, whether they could pose a threat to them, and so on.
It was obvious that Kant’s plan was not a complete success.
The training was considered a success.
These 1,000 heavily injured and exhausted Swadian footman had already met the requirements for level up.
Kant had sent these troops to destroy close to 100,000 skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers in these three days. They had even destroyed more than half of the remaining undead skeletons in the Oasis Lookout.
However, the higher-level undead troop class did not appear. They were still hidden in the thick black fog.
Not to mention the high-level undead.
Even the skeleton cavalry and the death knights did not appear.
These two types of undead cavalry were the undead troop that Kant remembered.
However, after clearing out more than half of the skeleton warriors and soldiers, and wiping out all the undead infantrymen that invaded the Oasis Lookout, these undead cavalry that belonged to the mobility of the undead had yet to appear.
They were like poisonous snakes hidden in the curtain of death.
They were still lurking and waiting.
As long as Kant showed a little weakness, they would pounce on him viciously and directly destroy him.
“Is this the plan?”
Kant’s lips curled up slightly.
But his eyes were unusually cold.
Glancing at the dense curtain of death around him, the dialog box in his eyes popped out and was then erased. He turned his head to look at the wall of the urn city. The huge number of troops broke free from the data stream, and the smile on his lips curled up even more.
“The supreme lord of Caradia! A saint comparable to a god! Lord Kant!”
Cheers sounded from below.
The heavy cavalry wearing chain armor, leather armor, linen robes, and capes took off the flat helmets on their heads and leaned on their long spears. They looked at the figure standing on the wall with fanatical expressions.
They almost knelt in unison. Even the warhorse beside them, who was also wearing chain armor, slowly lowered its head.
“We salute you!”
The unified cheers resounded throughout the entire urn city.
That high morale instantly rushed out with a fearless aura.
The originally exhausted Swadian footman had disappeared without a trace.
What was left now were the Swadian man-at-arms, who had high morale, were full of energy, and were extremely vigorous. They were the Level-4 cavalry from the Kingdom of Swadia. They were the Level-4 cavalry with the best defense in the entire continent of Caradia and the strongest charging force.
These were the 1,000 Swadian man-at-arms!
“Alright.”
Kant nodded and slowly stretched out his hand.
He raised his hand.
He made the group of heavy cavalry, who were half-kneeling and extremely respectful, stand up.
Looking at the fanaticism in their eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He understood what the group of heavy cavalry wanted to do, because this was exactly what he wanted to do. They were telepathically connected.
“Men!”
Kant ordered in a low voice, “Bring my flag and horn!”
“Yes!” A desert bandits responded and left quickly. In the tower of the inner city gate not far away, at the temporary command post of the south gate, they brought these two strange objects and handed them to Kant.
The red-bottomed golden lion instantly fluttered in the wind, waving.
Kant held it with one hand.
The horn that was also engraved with the red-bottomed golden lion was pinned on his waist.
He held the king’s sword with his left hand. A faint golden light spread through his body along with his palm and communicated with the king’s power in his body. In an instant, it became even more powerful. It even made his body burst out with a ball of golden light that seemed to be invisible but was like a strange phenomenon, it made him look like the supreme king that came from the legends!
In reality, Kant was the supreme king at this moment. He had already grasped the power of a king and the king’s sword. He was the king that all the forces in the world had to pay their respects to!
Even on his chest, there was a majestic lion medal pinned on it.
[ intimidation ] , [ commanding power ] , and [ lion knight medal ]
Kant’s three great items were complete!
He waved his hand at the same time and ordered loudly, “Convey my orders. All royal knights, knights, heavy cavalry, and light cavalry, arrive at the urn city within 15 minutes. Form up!”
“Yes!” All the desert bandits immediately turned around and left.
The sound of horse hooves rang out.
Not too long later, the urn city was already filled with cavalry.
Due to the limited space, these cavalry were all on their warhorse, looking at Kant who was at the top of the city wall. They clenched their weapons and already had a guess about what would happen next.
Such a large number of cavalry, it was almost all of Kant’s forces combined!
50 royal knights, 200 knights, 1,300 heavy cavalry, 1,000 desert bandits.
Kant had already walked down the city wall.
The Swadian army horse, which was covered in a chainmail and red and yellow velvet, had already been led over.
As the Lord, the highest commander of this attack, Kant also wore double layers of heavy chainmail. Coupled with the velvet robe and the helmet with a golden crown embedded, he looked extremely valiant and awe-inspiring.
This was the attire of the Supreme Lord.
Bandake was also riding a horse at the side.
However, he was wearing a grayish-black armor with a bit of black fog pervading it. Even the warhorse under him was spewing out black fog with sparks. Clearly, it was a underworld nightmare and not a human warhorse.
Just by looking at the warhorse, one could know the power of this underworld nightmare.
Other than Kant and the royal knights, who had extraordinary powers and could stabilize the warhorse under them to keep them calm, the other warhorses did not dare to look at this underworld nightmare. As long as they looked at it or approached it, they would shake their heads anxiously, they could not help but walk to the side.
The underworld nightmare had the ability to intimidate living beings. Not to mention warhorses, even ordinary humans with weak minds would be affected by it, causing extreme panic and even the act of fleeing.
Of course, now that it was controlled by Bandake, it had already suppressed the characteristics of this underworld nightmare to the minimum.
“Lord Kant.”
Bandake reported, “Everything is ready.”
Kant nodded, “Yes, very good.”
He looked up at the urn city gate that was about to open. He glanced at Manide, who had already arrived at the south city gate and was surrounded by a group of lion knights. He nodded lightly and said, “I’ll leave this place to you.”
“Understood!”
Manide nodded solemnly and said solemnly, “I’ll do my best.”
Kant said, “Okay.”
It was a pity that Jocelyn had already led the trade caravan out and had not returned yet.
Otherwise, with Manide and Jocelyn guarding the city gate together, there would not be any problems in Drondheim Castle. However, even now, with Manide in charge of guarding the castle, there would not be any abnormalities.
After all, the geographical advantage here was too good.
If they wanted ordinary troop class soldiers, they wouldn’t even be able to pile up. Even a million soldiers wouldn’t be afraid!
“Open the gate!”
Kant didn’t think too much and waved his hand forward.
As the winch and the latch were opened, the world outside the gate instantly appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Advance!” Kant rode on his horse, the king’s sword in his hand instantly unsheathed. As the golden light flashed, the dozen or so skeleton warriors who wanted to rush in when the gate was opened were instantly turned into bones by the golden light!
Behind him, Bandake and the royal knights followed Kant’s figure closely.
Including the knights and the even more shocking number of heavy cavalry, they all spurred their horses to follow.
A path paved with bones instantly appeared, and a huge pressure swept out. The king’s power erupted, and as the golden light flashed, a large number of skeleton warriors were killed, leaving only a pile of rotten bones that were crushed into bone fragments by the horseshoes!
They charged down the slope with ease.
More and more skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers gathered.
However, Kant and the royal knights were like sharp sword tips, easily piercing through all the skeleton warriors who dared to approach. No matter how many of the enemies there were, or how thick the formation was, they were directly penetrated through!
Even the countless knights and heavy cavalry at the rear could use the momentum to directly crush those skeletons!
A sweeping sweep!
Stronger than when the light infantry showed up.
At the time, after all, the light infantry was only defending the perimeter of the ramps, not a complete tactical assault.
These heavy cavalry formed a group, wantonly interspersed the charge, with no flag and no horn, they crushed an entire field of skeletons by simply relying on the medal to shorten the charge distance characteristic.
“Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom –”
Horseshoes beat around the castle of Drondheim.
The entire Oasis Lookout was ringing with this enormous flood-like sound.
Countless skeletons were swept flat, was horseshoes directly stepped into the sand, directly stepped on the ground, adding a few white bones of the rotten residue, as if endless life once died here.
Kant did not care at all. He led this huge heavy cavalry unit and charged around the Oasis Lookout.
They were cleaning up any skeletons that appeared.
In the end, the entire oasis was almost flattened by them.
Other than a few skeleton warriors that occasionally appeared in the curtain of death at the edge of the golden light, the entire oasis was already clean of the skeleton warriors. They were all cleaned up by Kant and his troops!
Even the skeletons in the date palm forest were killed by the desert bandits that belonged to the light cavalry.
