Lord Of The Oasis Chapter 471

Chapter 471: Surrender in the Raging Flames

The meat grinder was formed, and it began to turn!

Hundreds and thousands of infantrymen fell on the pile of rubble and were trampled by their comrades at the back. They continued to rush madly into the city wall, using all means, even their own bodies were rus.h.i.+ng in.

There was no way at all. Even the people at the front wanted to escape because of the cruel resistance of the defenders in the castle.

However, the infantrymen at the back pushed them forward!

The front row had already died.

The infantrymen at the back became the front row and continued to die.

Just like this, rows and rows of infantrymen died one after another. More and more infantrymen of the n.o.ble alliance army poured into Maas Castle and then scattered in all directions. They completely broke into the castle’s city wall system and began to destroy it!

The defenders hiding in the towers and walls were all captured and executed.

More people began to rush towards the main body of the castle.

However, the castle gates were all closed.

The windows on the ground floor were blocked. It was like a turtle sh.e.l.l that could not be bitten.

Even if there were gaps, there were infantrymen with long lance guarding the rear. As long as someone approached, they would instantly stab out like a poisonous snake. It was very sudden and fatal!

In addition, there were arrow towers and sentry towers at the top of the castle, which could shoot down arrows at any time, causing a lot of casualties.

This was the defensive mode of the castle.

However, this kind of defense was much more pa.s.sive.

As for this kind of defensive mode, Rolf and Firentis also had their own methods to deal with it.

A large amount of firewood was piled up to the outer side of the castle. They were stacked up layer by layer. The entire castle was piled up by a large amount of firewood, and then doused with kerosene provided by the Wayne family. Finally, a torch was thrown up.

In an instant, a huge fire rose, and a scorching wave of fire swept through the inner walls of the castle.

The castle became a huge torch.

Thick smoke and heat waves poured in.

The entire Maas Castle seemed to have turned into a sea of flames.

Even the corpses were thrown into the castle, creating even more intense black smoke. Then, the smoke poured in through the gaps of the castle. It was like a snake that had found a gap. Bit by bit, waves by waves, the castle was filled with a large amount of smoke and dust.

In addition to the raging flames, the entire 16-meter-tall castle was unable to breathe.

The oxygen was consumed by the fire outside.

And inside, s large number of soldiers in the narrow s.p.a.ce were even more severely depleted of oxygen.

The sounds of coughs, shouts, and miserable howls were incessant. The entire castle was like a large chimney. Under the destruction of the fire and the thick smoke, many soldiers had already escaped to the top floor, but it was still useless.

There was too much thick smoke outside!

The castle was not far.

On a hill, Firentis and Rolf stood side by side.

Viscount Wayne, the other barons, and the other lords stood there, watching as the distant Maas Castle fell into a sea of fire.

Their expressions were complicated. Maas Castle, which had once been independent of the North County, had now turned into such a miserable state. It made them feel a little sorrowful, or rather, fear from the bottom of their hearts.

In the direction of the castle, the n.o.ble alliance army, which used to belong to them, cheered.

They were like crazy thugs who had been bewitched!

“Interesting.” Rolf grinned hideously.

He looked at the castle that had turned into a sea of fire in front of him, he could not help but take a deep breath. “This is how war works. It destroys everything, kills everything, burns everything, and demolishes everything. Whether it is a civilization or a kingdom, what is finally rebuilt is our new home!”

“Hehe…” Viscount Wayne and the others revealed dry smiles, but when they looked at the burning castle over there, there was not the slightest hint of a smile on their faces. Even their eyes were filled with extreme panic.

They had never seen such a scene when the Silver Platter Kingdom invaded the Dukedom of Leo.

But now, they had seen it during the internal strife in the Dukedom of Leo.

It was incomparably cruel to their own people, to the point that it made their hearts tremble!

Even Firentis could not bear to see such a thing happen. However, he was still thinking about the outcome of this battle.

They were Caradians, not people from the Dukedom of Leo. Why should they pity them?

They wanted to conquer their own territory in this land!

Everything was for Lord Kant!

And for themselves!

“Alright, they have surrendered.”

On the castle in front of them, the white flag had already been raised.

In this world, the white flag also represented surrender. Right at the sealed gate of Maas Castle, there were grand knights who used their extraordinary powers to blast a pa.s.sage through the fire, escorting Viscount Kevin, who was already drenched in sweat and his face was covered in soot, came out. He panted heavily outside the castle, as if he was about to die.

Behind him, his family members were also brought out. The soldiers swarmed out of the castle. They were surrounded by the n.o.ble alliance army and had no intention of resisting.

“See, this is very simple.”

Rolf’s sinister smile became more and more exuberant.

He turned his head to look at Viscount Wayne and the other n.o.bles, and said with a sinister smile, “It is necessary for you to take the lead and join us. Look at Viscount Kevin Now, how are we going to treat him?”

“Gulp.” Viscount Wayne and the other n.o.bles subconsciously gulped.

“The answer is very simple.” Rolf chuckled. “Just execute him.”

“What?” a n.o.ble said in disbelief. “Without the permission of the n.o.ble court, you can’t just execute a n.o.ble! You also don’t have the right to execute a n.o.ble!”

“That’s right, a n.o.ble cannot be executed without permission!”

“How can a n.o.ble be executed without going through the court’s judgment? It’s absolutely impossible!”

“Please respect the n.o.ble’s honor!”

Many n.o.bles voiced their objections.

However, Rolf picked his ears. “Is there anything else? The honor of a n.o.ble? Cannot be killed without permission?” He pulled out his scimitar. “You don’t seem to understand. You’re all captives and not here as a guest. Do I have to kill all of you before you know what fear Is?”

“You…” the n.o.bles were instantly embarra.s.sed and angry, but they didn’t dare to say anything because of the cold glint of the scimitar. They could see that Rolf really dared to kill people.

“Go and tie up all those guys.”

Rolf issued an order. “Pull the n.o.ble to this side and isolate them. Send the women to the Wayne family and let them take care of them. As for the soldiers, break up the formation and integrate them into the n.o.ble alliance army!”

“Break up and reorganize the n.o.ble alliance army as well.” Firentis added from the side. “Do it immediately. Organize them before nightfall. We will set off again the next morning.” After pausing for a moment, his tone was very firm, “At the same time, find the warehouse of this castle and give all the wealth to these soldiers who have already reorganized themselves!”

“Yes!” the messenger who was waiting behind immediately nodded and left to pa.s.s on the order.

Elite desert bandits were still waiting for the order.

They were the ones who carried out the order and were the commanders who were usually responsible for supervising the n.o.ble alliance army.

Elite desert bandits were also scattered into the n.o.ble alliance army in order to control the troops formed by civilians. Moreover, on the battlefield, they were in charge of the middle-level command, not the bottom-level frontline battle force.
