Lord Of The Oasis Chapter 468 - The Worry of Viscount Kevin

Chapter 468: The Worry of Viscount Kevin

At noon, the feed had been prepared by Grothen Castle.

A total of eight carriages were transported to the camp. However, at this time, Firentis had already arranged for people to feed their warhorses, but he did not give the order to set off. Instead, he reorganized the camps.

They were waiting for the arrival of the infantrymen.

The n.o.ble alliance army were still walking slowly behind.

From time to time, desert bandits would go over to scout or urge them, so that those who had lost their high-ranking commanders could quickly keep up with the pace. At the same time, they would publicize the obligations they would have to face in the future.

That was to follow Baron Kant and seize the authority that belonged to him, the t.i.tle of Grand Duke of Leo!

Of course, there were also empty promises.

Firentis and Rolf had already promised them.

As long as they followed Baron Kant and made contributions to the war, they would be conferred the t.i.tle of n.o.ble status. If they could obtain the final victory, they would also have enough land to wait for everyone. They would treat everyone equally, and all of them would be rewarded!

Even if they died in the end, they would give their families a lifetime of food allocation.

Baron Kant had a mountain of gold and silver in his possession.

It was just a small amount of money.

It was an easy burden!

This was also the greatest confidence that he could use to coerce and entice the ordinary soldiers.

In the current Dukedom of Leo, who did not know that Baron Kant had a salt mine? who did not know that Baron Kant was extremely rich?

They did not incite them too much. Those desert bandits only explained the situation, how much money Lord Kant had, and how much money he would have in the future. Those infantrymen who were born poor and commoner were as loyal as if they had been brainwashed.

Modern educated people could be brainwashed by pyramid schemes, let alone the stupid commoners of the feudal era?

They could be induced to gain something.

They could often burst out with extremely high enthusiasm.

Moreover, these commoners did not need to make too good a wish. Just the fanatical group effect could make everyone fall into a dream of a beautiful future, and then develop into madness, becoming wild beasts that could not be controlled!

Once they embarked on this path, other than forcibly ending, they could not stop.

Whoever wanted to stop would be going against them.

The consequences were unimaginable!

Of course, just two days later, the n.o.ble alliance army had already arrived at Grothen Castle.

Along the way, there were endless supplies, and there were only a few civilian infantrymen that escaped. However, the vast majority of those who escaped were caught up by the desert bandits, and their heads were easily cut off in the plain.

They were hung on the reins of the desert horses, and they stared blankly with their lifeless eyes as they rode on their horses.

The remaining heads made all those who wanted to escape feel a chill in their hearts.

Threats and rewards.

They could not do it without any links.

However, this simple method was very effective.

After the n.o.ble alliance army arrived at Grothen Castle, they did not rest for long and set off the next day.

Their target was the route led by the light cavalry troop formed by the elite desert bandits. In fact, they were following the Mountain Range of Leo and straight into the South County, preparing to attack a castle that was independent of the North County.

Maas Castle!

This castle was ruled by Viscount Kevin.

It was located at the junction of the North County, the South County and the East County.

To the west was the Mountain of Death, to the east was the Mountain Range of Leo, and to the north was the endless barren plains of the North County. To the south was the fertile plains of the South County and Lion Heart City, and to the southeast was the Lion Fort of the Grand Duke of Leo.

It was located at a strategic location and could be said to be the best barrier or fortress.

The north could isolate the North County.

The south could control the South County.

The core hub of the rear of the Dukedom of Leo.

Whoever could control this place would be able to have the advantage in the terrain of the Dukedom of Leo.

And now, Viscount Kevin, who controlled Maas Castle, naturally belonged to the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron. They were childhood friends, and the relations.h.i.+p between the two was extremely close, even to the extent of surpa.s.sing that of their own siblings.

It couldn’t be helped. Siblings could still fight to obtain the position of grand duke.

But this kind of friend wouldn’t.

Instead, they could become your good ally.

This was very solid in the western feudal system, where bloodline, t.i.tle, and ident.i.ty were respected.

But now, Maas Castle was in a dilemma. Viscount Kevin was standing above the city gate. Looking at the empty horizon, there was anxiety between his brows.

“Is he crazy?” he clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. “He’s really crazy!”

He received the news a few days ago.

It was confirmed yesterday.

He really didn’t expect Baron Kant to defeat the n.o.ble alliance army.

Then, he led the surrendered troops and rampaged all the way to attack the South County. According to the report of the reconnaissance cavalry, they would arrive in one day.

This was the first time that Maas Castle had faced a threat from the North County.

Although his mission was to monitor the North County, the Maas Castle mainly acted as a backstop and support, as well as a central point, completely blocking the main forces of the silver platter kingdom from invading. It also provided a foothold for the main forces of the Dukedom of Leo that had retreated from the South County.

What was worth laughing about now was that the greatest enemy, the Silver Platter Kingdom, had not invaded.

Instead, the North County, which had only been used as a deterrent, was about to bring a war.

This had resulted in the lack of sufficient preparations in Maas Castle. The military supplies that should have been purchased in large quant.i.ties in the South County had been seriously in short supply in the warehouse. After all, in the original plan, this was only the foothold and the focus of the battle.

Even the Dukedom of Leo had given up on this place and planned to retreat to the plains and fight with the cavalry of the Silver Platter Kingdom.

The North County was different from the South County.

The plains of the South County had been developed into fertile fields, and there were farms everywhere.

The North County was really a flat and barren plain and wilderness. Apart from a few places with water, there were very few farms or villages. The other places were completely uninhabited!

As for the terrain of the North County, it was more than three times larger than the South County.

It was indeed a place suitable for plains and field battles.

But now,everything had become very different.

Maas Castle was facing the threat of the troops of the North County, while the South County was still in a stalemate.

Viscount Kevin had already sent out the news of the rebellion of the North County, but the South County had yet to send back any news. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly foolish.

He had even combined it with the news he had heard before.

For example, the destruction of the priests on Mountain of Death.

This had deepened his fear.

Of course, Maas Castle had connections with the Crimson Sect on Mountain of Death.

After all, it was at the border of the three counties. It would be inconceivable if there was no connection between them.

However, Viscount Kevin did not have too deep a relations.h.i.+p with the Crimson Sect, so he did not know how the Crimson Sect had been destroyed. However, thinking about the sudden change of the n.o.ble families in the East County, he could guess it. Perhaps there was a great change in the East County, which led to the destruction of the Crimson Sect.

However, no matter what, the situation was extremely bad for him. After all, Maas Castle was also on the side of the East County. Although he was not responsible for the important transportation areas of the East County and the South County, he could still be used as a side support.

“Could it be…” Viscount Kevin hesitated. “The situation is going to change?”
