Chapter 548: Obtained Fertile Land

[ Ding… your subordinates destroyed 30,000 enemy troops with 43 soldiers, obtained a fertile land. ]

[ Evaluation acquired: Epic Victory. ]

[ Reputation obtained x 1,000 points. ]

[ Reputation obtained x 2 points. ]

In the barracks at the south city gate of Lionheart City, Kant suddenly received such a system prompt.

“Looks like Rolf has wiped out the rebellion army that had betrayed the alliance.”

Firentis had already reported to him via the crystal ball that he had conquered Seria Castle. He had not received any comment from the system on that battle — unless it was a battle that was required by the system quest, only battles that had reached epic victory or above then would the system give a comment.

“My lord, General Firentis has sent a message. He proposes to have General Rolf inspect the South County, while he returns to the North County to clean up the North County’s noble families. He wants to ensure that the North County is completely under your control.”

A mage walked over and reported to Kant.

“Yes!”

“Also, Tell Firentis that Baron Dylan can be eliminated!”

Kant thought for a while and agreed to Firentis’s suggestion.

The mage continued, “Lord, according to the report from the spies, the original target of knight orders from various sects was the Sargoth Fortress in the East County. But they have changed their route and set their target at Lionheart City.”

Kant looked at the heavy rain that was gradually subsiding and nodded, “As expected! I didn’t deliberately hide myself in Lionheart City. With the strength of those sects, it’s not difficult to get this news.”

“Is there any other news?”

The mage shook his head and replied, “Lord, no more!”

Kant looked at the weather that was gradually clearing up and said, “Then you may leave!”

After the mage who was in charge of exchanging information through various channels had left, Kant said to a Swadian Royal Knight who was standing beside him,

“Go and inform Baheshtur to meet see me to discuss the matter of attacking the War Temple.”

The War Temple was located in the Western District of Lionheart City, south of the west city gate.

As the sect that the entire Dukedom of Leo believed in — the number one temple of the God of War sect in the Dukedom of Leo — the War Temple of Lionheart City was built like a small city. It occupied a large piece of land in the Western District.

Overall, War Temple had its back against the western city wall of Lionheart City, and the door was facing east.

Within the tall courtyard wall, there were seven temples arranged in a strict manner.

The one in the center was the main hall of the War Temple. It was facing east and worshipped the God of War’s statue. It was also the representative of the God of War on the earth — the residence of the war priests.

On the north and south sides of the main hall of the War Temple, there were two side halls. There were four side halls in total, and they were all named War Knight Halls.

These four side halls were prepared for the strongest armed force of the war shrine — the war knight order. The four side halls could accommodate war knight order, which was 8,000 people.

However, there were only five war knight orders in the War Temple. Four of them had been wiped out by Kant yesterday, leaving only one war knight order.

Behind the main hall of the War Temple, on the west side, a hall was built against the west city wall of Lionheart City. This hall was the most mysterious building in the War Temple. It was said that only the most devout believers of the God of War were qualified to enter.

To the east of the main hall of the War Temple, there was a hall that was smaller than the War Knight Hall. Like the main hall, it was facing east.

This great hall was the gate of the War Temple. It was called the guard hall of War Temple. There were 1,000 powerful infantrymen, the guards of the war shrine stationed there. The north and south sides of this great hall were directly connected to the high walls of the courtyard. If people wanted to enter the War Temple to worship, they had to pass through the corridor on the first floor of the guard hall of War Temple.

At this moment, in the main hall of the War Temple, 300 war priests gathered here. They prayed devoutly and offered the purest faith. They used the power of faith to forge a bridge of communication, allowing the high priest to communicate with the god.

After a long time, the high priest finished communicating with the god.

The high priest said solemnly, “Oracle: Baron Kant is about to attack. We will fight to the death!”

Even though the priests were standing in front of the statue of the God of War, their faces were pale.

Just like the oracle yesterday, they did not understand it. They did not understand the oracle today either.

Why did the War Temple insist on fighting Baron Kant to the death?

Baron Kant was so powerful that the 200 priests who participated in the battle yesterday could not help but feel terrified when they thought of the one-sided massacre in the heavy rain yesterday.

However, as the priests of the God of War who had a firm belief, they would never question the god they believed in.

They firmly believed that everything in the oracle was reasonable. If they did not understand, then it must be because of their own problems.

The god would not make a mistake!

At this moment, there were very few soldiers available in the War Temple.

There were only 1,000 war knights, 1,000 guards of War Temple, 300 war priests, and 200 reserve war priests. Such strength is inferior to that of the four knight orders of yesterday.

Whoo…

In the main hall of War Temple, the high priest blew the bugle of war.

All the soldiers and priests gathered, waiting for the attack of Baron Kant.

The guard hall of War Temple was the door of the War Temple, but also its defensive barriers.

The War Temple did not have archers, but the long-range destructive divine spell of the war priests was not to be underestimated.

Not long after the War Temple took the initiative to prepare for battle, Kant led his army and arrived.

In front of the War Temple was a wide square, but there were no believers gathered here.

Kant’s army was arranged in formation on this square.

There were 850 Rhodok Sergeants held broad shields and stood at the front, followed closely by Rhodok Sharpshooters, mages, mage apprentices, Vaegir Marksmen, and Ravenstern Rangers.

The cavalries were spread out on the two wings. If the knights of War Temple dared to rush out, these cavalries would ruthlessly kill them again.

“Lord, it seems that the War Temple is prepared!”

Baheshtur rode on his warhorse and followed Kant. He looked at the situation of the War Temple and said to Kant.

“It’s okay, it’s just a dying struggle!”

“Their army is too small!” Kant looked at the closed gate of the War Temple and 1,000 war guards and replied.

The 1,000 war guardians were placed directly outside the War Temple as the first barrier.
