Chapter 493: The Intensified Forntline

Not to mention Lionheart City, even their manors and castles had a large number of elite private armies.

They could not wait to see Duke of Leo, Cameron, and his second son, Baron of Leo, fight to the death. Perhaps in the end, they would secretly make a move and let the father and son “perish together.”.

They did not wish for the family of the Duke of Leo, Cameron, who had gradually begun to decline, to become strong again.

In the end, under the pressure of the Duke of Leo, Cameron, the four counts and the two viscounts only agreed to provide supplies to the troops that were going up north to resist the invasion of the North County noble alliance army. This supply was sent from Lionheart City, the other two viscounts who did not have any influence in Lionheart City had to pay the four counts the corresponding amount of money.

The four counts and the two viscounts, the ultimate goal of the six top-tier noble families of the South County, was only to hope that Cameron, the Grand Duke of Leo, would be able to properly exhaust his strength with his second son, Baron Kant.

Cameron was able to rise up in the war and repel the invasion of the Silver Platter Kingdom when the previous Grand Duke of Leo died. Naturally, he was not an easy person to deal with, naturally, he easily saw through the plans of the six top-tier noble families in the South County, and immediately came up with a corresponding countermeasure.

It was also because of this countermeasure of Cameron that many small and medium-sized noble families in the south county gathered at Seria Castle.

To Cameron, the North County was not under his true control. Promising it to the small and medium-sized noble families in the South County was just going with the flow. He did not suffer any real losses.

It is also because of this, as the top noble of South County, Count Rowan. Reese would send out his grand knight to inform the many small noble families of the South County who were now stationed at Fort Celia that they are not going to give supplies!

With the help of the rebellion army, it gave six of the top noble families an excuse to stop supporting the supply of the noble alliance army.

They even proposed a condition that they could answer with their butts. This was naturally to deal with the possible anger of Cameron.

“You see, it’s not that we don’t continue to provide them with supplies, it’s that they said they didn’t want it!”

The lines were already prepared.

The shamelessness of the noble families was always hidden under such a suitable excuse. The six top noble families of South County were very good at this.

In fact, they wished that the small and medium-sized noble families of South County would fail, and it would be best if all of them died.

This way, Baron Kant’s troops could smoothly go south and force Cameron’s Lion Fort.

In addition, they could secretly take over the small and medium-sized noble families’ estate in South County. The estate of South County was truly fertile. Otherwise, South County was smaller than North County and East County, so how could it support so many powerful noble families.

Although the small noble families’ estate had been taken over by the rebellion army of the South County, the small soldiers of the rebellion army of the South County were nothing in the eyes of the six top noble families of the South County.

…

In the meeting hall of the command group in Seria Castle, the noble families heard Baron Kozmo. Henry’s words made the atmosphere even more serious.

“We need to end this quickly!”

Immediately, a noble member of the command group spoke up.

“That’s right. Even if we only have three heavy cavalry legions left, crushing the North County alliance army is extremely simple!”

None of the members of the command group had any doubts that they could easily defeat the North County noble alliance army.

What they were worried about was that the North County noble alliance army was hiding in Maas Castle, defending the castle and refusing to fight them directly.

That was exactly what they wanted to discuss.

Because their army, 15,000 soldiers, were all heavy cavalries.

After all, the heavy cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo dominated all the human countries, and all the noble of the Dukedom of Leo were proud of it. Their elite private soldiers were naturally forged into heavy cavalry. In the vast plains of the South County, the power of the heavy cavalry could also be displayed to its fullest.

However, it was not an easy task for the heavy cavalry to attack the city. This meant that they had to give up their advantage. At least, before they broke through the castle gates, their soldiers had to turn into infantrymen.

This would undoubtedly cause great casualties, and it would far exceed the losses they would suffer if they used the heavy cavalry to charge and destroy the other legions.

These three heavy cavalry legions were gathered by the members of these command group, the noble families of the South County. Naturally, they did not wish for them to suffer too many losses.

If there was sufficient time, they could also create a large number of siege weapons to reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

However, due to the limited supply, they only had two weeks left. If they could not take down Maas Castle, which was 50 miles to the north, in two weeks, in order not to starve to death. They estimated that they could only turn into bandits and rob the manors of other noble families in the South County who were not on the same side as them.

Because at that time, the grand knight sent by Count Rowan. Reese had long returned to Lionheart City with the news that they had rejected Cameron’s order. They could not get support from Lionheart City even if they wanted to.

The noble families in the command group were at their wit’s end. They frowned and thought hard about countermeasures.

Most importantly, they didn’t want to lose too many soldiers.

Otherwise, they believed that they would be able to obtain victory even if they forcefully pushed Maas Castle.

At this moment, the door of the command group’s meeting room was knocked rapidly.

This caused the members of the command group and the noble members of the South County unhappy.

In the past few days, bad news came one after another. The current situation was already very grim. So many of them had yet to come up with an effective method to attack the castle. They could pay the smallest price to capture Maas Castle.

The members of the command group knew very well that this was another big piece of bad news.

Viscount Kemil elegantly picked up the exquisite pottery cup on the chairman’s table made of expensive wood. He slowly took a sip of fresh goat’s milk and put in a few pieces made of date palm from Oasis Lookout’s sugar workshop, only then did he speak.

“Sir Jimmy Walters, please open the door and let our knights in.”

As soon as Viscount Kemil’s words fell, all the depressed expressions on the faces of the noble turned into a relaxed and casual gentleman’s appearance.

Sir Jimmy. Walters sat on the last seat on the right-hand side of Viscount Kemil. Among all the noble members of the command group present, he was the weakest. Even Baron Harry. Kendy and the other five noble members who had suffered heavy losses were far stronger than him.

At the same time, Sir Jimmy Walters was also the closest to the gate.

The status of the noble was measured by their strength. Even if it was a knight, as long as he was strong enough, even the count would show him humility.

Sir Jimmy Walters naturally understood this principle. Among the many noble families present, he was the weakest. Naturally, he should be the one to open the door.

He could not let other noble families who were stronger than him do this, right?

Sir Jimmy Walters opened the door of the meeting room. A knight attendant who was terrified completely forgot the etiquette of saluting and greeting the noble families first. He directly rushed in, in his panic, he shouted without thinking.

“Not good! Not good!”

“After the North County noble alliance army set off from Maas Castle, they are approaching our Seria Castle!”

“There are too many enemies, much more than us!”

This knight attendant was responsible for scouting around Maas Castle. As soon as he saw Firentis leading many armies from Maas Castle towards Seria Castle, he immediately rushed back on horseback. Because he was in a state of panic, he even forgot to return to his troop and report this news to his captain first.
