Chapter 458: The Laughable Battlefield
The huge fire could be seen clearly even from the Stone Pass. The flas soared into the sky and the entire night sky had been dyed by the red flas. Even if they did not understand what had happened, they knew that they were definitely in danger.
“Attack.”
Firentis made his decision on the city wall.
He waved his hand forward and gave the orders to the ssengers behind him, “Let the desert bandits go over and scout. The heavy cavalry troops will leave the city and wait for orders. The rest of the footn will stay in the city. If there are any unusual situations, they do not need to report and deal with it on their own.”
“Yes!” the ssengers quickly left the city walls. The troops in the stone pass also started to move out.
Soon, the heavy door of the Stone Pass was opened.
Along with the sound of friction coming from the door shaft, groups of cavalries quickly rushed out from the door. All of them were wearing chain armor and barrel helts. They held heavy spears that were as thick as a child’s arm and rushed out with a rumble.
Five hundred Swadian Knights walked at the front, and behind them were a thousand Swadian Heavy Cavalries as well as Firentis and ten Swadian Royal Knights.
This was his main force.
It was strong enough.
Just based on combat strength alone, it was enough to block 10,000 light footn.
However, their actual combat strength and the effect of the attack on the enemy were so strong that even a formation of 10,000 light footn could not be able to compare to them.
Looked at those oversized rcenary groups who had ulterior motives and were fighting on their own, they were lacked leadership or even ineffective leadership, causing them to fall into internal strife and panic. Compared to them, this group of heavy cavalries that was made up of the Swadian people was undoubtedly powerful, they were the force that could completely destroy everything!
Just as this group of heavy cavalries appeared on the plains outside the Stone Pass, the rcenary groups that were supposed to attack the Stone Pass actually started to waver. In fact, they even scattered!
That’s right, they dispersed in a hubbub!
Originally, they could still form a dense formation to resist.
However, when they saw that the village had completely burned by the red flas, their morale was heavily crushed.
Even their own headquarters had been burned down by the fire, and they still didn’t know what kind of attack the troops there had received. But just thinking about it, if they could defend, then would these fires still appear?
They definitely could not appear!
In the end, there was only one result — they lost the defense!
The noble alliance army could not resist the enemy’s attack, and their defenses were completely broken through.
Just in the evening, after eating dinner and marching for a day, when they planned to have a good rest, their defenses were broken through by the enemy camp, completely destroying their ability to resist and turning their headquarters into a sea of fire.
Now that they saw the almost orderly heavy cavalry troops walking out from the Stone Pass, how could they not be afraid?
Their hearts were already filled with fear.
Now, it directly turned into fear!
Just like a frightened bird, the hearts of the rcenaries were completely replaced by fear.
Morale? What was that? Now, they only thought how to save themselves. When they ran, they even threw away all their miscellaneous items, just so that they could run faster, afraid that they would be caught and killed by the cavalries.
The pursuit of the footn by the cavalry was very easy.
However, Firentis did not have the mood to do so.
He led the Swadian Heavy Cavalries forward. He ignored the scattered rcenaries.
In the surroundings, the desert bandits, who acted as scouts, were eager to chase after them. To these light cavalries who were poorly equipped, chasing after the collapsed enemy was like riding a big dog to chase a little lamb when they were young.
This was a pleasant ga.
“Spread out and scout!” However, Firentis gave an order, “The target is the village, report back imdiately if you encounter a large group of troops!”
“Yes!” the desert bandits stopped thinking of rushing out to chase after the enemy. They could only quickly ride their horses forward and run towards the burning village. In the battle plan, completing the tactical goal was the most correct choice.
Otherwise, with the harsh military law, even the elite cavalry would be whipped to death!
Disobeying the will of the general was a grave mistake.
The troops moved forward slowly.
The heavy cavalries looked ahead coldly.
In the fire, the entire village had been completely burned, and countless cries could be faintly heard.
These were the cries of the villagers. In this fire, they had suffered great losses, and even their relatives had been violated. The losses were imasurable, and it was basically equivalent to bankruptcy.
The subordinates of the noble were not good people, or in other words, the military discipline in the Middle Ages was very poor, not to ntion the even more despicable rcenaries.
Stealing and robbing were considered were not the worst thing they done, what was even more terrifying was snatching the door out of the tent, as well as the door-breaking extortion.
This village originally belonged to the Stone Pass, and it had made a fortune in the table salt trade. However, because of these noble alliance armies and rcenaries, they had colluded with the enemy to extort money. Now, they were all burned by the fire. If they were not bankrupt, then what?
The landlord beca a commoner who had nothing, and the poor commoner beca a bankrupt commoner.
No one could escape from the disaster of the war.
Or rather, it was fortunate that they could survive.
Moreover, because they t those rcenaries who were killing red-eyed, they were directly killed.
Even if they resisted, they couldn’t. A group of commoners picked up kitchen knives, sickles, and pitchforks. Facing the extrely vicious rcenaries who were used to seeing death, the final outco was very miserable, and the noble didn’t care about these commoners at all.
Finally, when Firentis and his heavy cavalries arrived, the chaotic scene was brought to an end.
The Red Flag of the Golden Lion fluttered in the wind.
The light of the fire shone.
The civilians who had lost their hos wept and complained about their suffering.
And on the faces of the rcenaries who had yet to disperse, there was fear on their faces. So kneeled on the ground and simply surrendered, while others fled towards the plain and felt that they could escape.
“Kill them.” Firentis waved his hand forward.
His expression was calm. “Robbing the villagers and burning the villages. These bandits deserve to die for their sins.”
“Yes!” the Swadian Heavy Knights rushed out first. They stabbed the rcenaries who were kneeling on the ground to death with their spears. Then, they chased after the fleeing rcenaries.
Although they were heavy cavalry, their chasing ability was not weak either.
After all, they were cavalry.
There was also heavy cavalry who jumped off their warhorses, wore chain armor, and rushed into the burning village with their warrior swords.
Many rcenaries were still hiding inside. They needed to find them and stab them to death with their swords. They needed to send these people who were considered bandits by Sir Firentis to et the Grim Reaper of this world.
No survivors, no captives, left no problems.
This was what Firentis ant.
“Ridiculous.”
Firentis raised his head and swept his gaze across the southern wilderness.
Countless figures were still fleeing in the dark. Those were rcenaries who had escaped from this place. They were being chased by the Swadian Heavy Cavalries and massacred as easily as hunting sheep.
He turned his head and instructed, “Get all the heavy cavalries to co back and look for Rolf. He knows what to do with the rest.”
“Yes!” the ssenger nodded.
Then, he took out the horn on his waist, blew out a “woo” sound and gave the order.
