Lord Of The Oasis Chapter 507 - Panic Nobles

Chapter 507: Panic n.o.bles

His gaze was especially directed at the two barons closest to him.

This time, Viscount Kermil suffered the greatest loss in this short confrontation with the infantry formation of the North County n.o.ble alliance army.

Among the three grand knights, two of them came from Viscount Kemil’s family.

Grand knights with extraordinary powers were not many. Even among Viscount Kemil’s family, there were only ten of them, including Viscount Kemil himself.

Not only grand knights, but there were also more than 200 official knights among the 600 + heavy cavalries who died this time. This was undoubtedly a heavy loss for the South County n.o.ble alliance army who only had 1,500 official knights.

Among the casualties of the official knights, Viscount Kemil suffered the heaviest loss.

This greatly weakened Viscount Kemil’s strength in the South County n.o.ble alliance army.

The right to speak came from strength.

“Viscount Kemil, now is not the time to fight for power and benefits!”

The baron sat right to Viscount Kemil, spoke.

Although he said so, his tone was cold. Obviously, he was not afraid of Viscount Kemil anymore.

“That’s right. The situation has completely gone out of control. It’s extremely bad! We must think of a way out as soon as possible!” the baron sat left to Viscount Kemil, continued.

In the past, Viscount Kemil would usually be the one to dominate the meeting.

After setting the tone of the meeting, a n.o.ble immediately spoke up.

“Based on the current situation, we are in a dilemma!”

The expression of the n.o.ble who spoke up was not good. He did not look as happy as when he had celebrated his victory earlier.

That was indeed the case. Their original thought was that their troop could easily defeat the North County n.o.ble alliance army. After that, they could divide up the territory of the North County.

But in the end?

Their homes had been destroyed, and the North County n.o.ble alliance army had exceeded their expectations. It was a tough piece of bone that was hard to chew and even a little hard to chew.

They had thought of a strategy, but the first step could not be successfully carried out. These n.o.bles were looking forward to a bright future, but now they were in stake.

If they could not take the benefits of the North County, supplement their own strength, and rebuild their family’s foundation in the North County, it would be impossible to take back their homes in South County.

The rebellion army was still a weak force in their eyes. However, after the rebellion army wreaked havoc in the South County, most of their homes had been destroyed.

Destruction was easy, but construction was difficult.

Even if they took back their own land in the South County, they would face many problems. Their family’s estate would be destroyed easily.

Their foundation in the South County was destroyed by the South County rebellion army.

Buildings, food, and most importantly, the people.

All of them were gone.

Without the North County as their foundation, taking back their estate in South County was impossible.

They were stuck in a dilemma.

However, under such a difficult situation, complaining was useless.

The n.o.ble understood this and didn’t want to destroy their dignity.

This was indeed a difficult problem.

They only had enough food to last for a dozen days.

They didn’t have the resources to drag it on.

Otherwise, if they had enough food, they could take back their own estate and rebuild their home.

Even though the speed would be very slow due to the lack of manpower.

The many n.o.ble families fell into silence.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very heavy.

Viscount Kemil suddenly said, “The reason why we are in this situation is because the North County n.o.ble alliance army is much stronger than we expected.”

“This is not normal!”

Viscount Kemil suddenly said loudly. At the same time, he fiercely slapped the long table made of expensive real wood, making a crisp sound.

All the n.o.ble’s eyes were focused on Viscount Kemil.

When everyone was at a loss of what to do, if someone suddenly spoke, it would undoubtedly meet everyone’s expectations.

“This is indeed abnormal, but the fact is that it cannot be changed.”

“Viscount Kemil, what do you think?”

“Could it be that this can also be a breakthrough to solve our situation?”

Viscount Kemil enjoyed the attention. After the many n.o.ble families calmed down, he said, “Before this meeting, the spies of my family on the battlefield have already reported to me. Do you know why our enemy are so powerful?”

All the South County’s n.o.bles immediately focused their attention and even looked at Viscount Kemil with envy. This was because Viscount Kemil still had spies loyal to him.

Although Viscount Kemil’s strength had been greatly reduced, as the most powerful and n.o.ble n.o.ble in the beginning, his background was not comparable to the other n.o.bles.

In fact, it was not that the other n.o.bles did not have spies, but all the spies that they had sent out were all eliminated by Rolf. The spies that their family did not send out were also killed along with the destruction of their homeland in the South County.

As a result, there were no obstructions to the spies in this war. The South County n.o.ble families in Seria Castle had sent out pitifully few spies.

Many spies had even abandoned their original master, the n.o.bles in the meeting room, when they saw that the South County n.o.ble alliance army had suffered a great defeat.

The spies had been serving the n.o.ble forces for a long time, gathering information.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the spies, many n.o.ble families tried their best to rope in the spies’ families, or they directly used their families as blackmail.

At this time, the homes of these small n.o.ble families in the South County were destroyed, so the families of the spies naturally couldn’t escape.

Therefore, the South County’s n.o.ble families no longer had any restrictions on the spies, so it was not a big deal to be betrayed by the spies.

The envious gazes from the n.o.ble families eased some of the pain caused by Viscount Kemil’s great loss of strength.

He said in a deep voice, “Everyone, we miscalculated! In the North County alliance army, those extremely powerful infantrymen are Baron Kant’s soldiers.”

Although he said so, the expression on Viscount Kemil’s face was not one of helplessness.

“Baron Kant?”

“Didn’t he bring his main force to the East County? Before sending out the troops, I specially sent spies to investigate. Baron Kant built a castle in the East County.”

“I also found out about this news! In my opinion, Baron Kant is simply trying to establish a foundation in the East County. Other than his main force in the Nahrin Desert, Baron Kant’s strength in the East County is extremely strong as well.”

“That’s right. Even the Crimson Sect which is comparable to the top-tier n.o.ble’s strength was destroyed by Baron Kant’s powerful army that he brought to the East County.”

“In this case, why does Baron Kant still have extra strength to throw into the battlefield of the North County?”

“This doesn’t make sense! How could Baron Kant have such powerful strength?”

The many n.o.bles had never thought of this possibility. They only thought that a certain n.o.ble in the North County had such a terrifying background hidden in the dark.

After all, the Dukedom of Leo had been established for more than 300 years. They could accept the fact that the n.o.bles in the North County had secretly developed powerful strength. Most of the n.o.ble’s strength was hidden in the dark as a foundation.

No one could be sure that among the poor n.o.ble families of the North County, there was no one who had powerful strength. Perhaps they had developed extremely powerful forces in other kingdoms or dukedoms.

Therefore, the sudden appearance of such a terrifying army in the North County n.o.ble alliance army was indeed out of their expectations, but it was not completely unacceptable.

However, Baron Kant had only established his force in the Nahrin Desert for less than a year, and they could not believe that he had such a powerful army.

They even concluded that Kant’s powerful troop in East County was actually from Princess’s Sofia legacy.
