Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 545

Chapter 545: Fighting In the Square

There was not enough space for 14,000 heavy cavalries to ride on their horses and set up their formation. If they did not have the distance to charge, they might as well use the infantry formation to face the enemy.

Although most of the cavalry’s training was on horses, fighting with knight sword was also a part of the training. At this moment, they had abandoned their horses and turned into infantry. They also had a strong fighting strength.

Outside of Seria Castle, Firentis looked at the empty walls of Seria Castle with some doubt.

Logically speaking, when the enemy troop attacked the castle, they were already at the foot of the city wall. This wall was the most advantageous defensive terrain. As long as some archers were deployed, they would be able to cause great losses to the attacking troops.

Firentis knew that Seria Castle was full of cavalries.

However, even so, they should not give up such an excellent defensive space on the city wall.

In Firentis’s opinion, the 14,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of Seria Castle were already trapped in the castle.

The methods of their heavy cavalries could no longer be used.

Hence, their long and heavy lance could actually be used as a pilum. When thrown from the city wall, the lethality would definitely not be lower than the archers.

For this, Firentis’s cannon fodders were already prepared. The 15,000 infantry troops of North County noble alliance army were completely thrown into chaos. Firentis led the Swadian army to drive them to the front.

At this moment, they were carrying the siege logs that Firentis had prepared earlier and were ramming into the castle gate of Seria Castle.

Boom!

The thick and heavy siege wood was carried by the hundreds of infantry soldiers of the North County noble alliance army, and they were ramming the castle gates of Seria Castle.

However, what Firentis did not expect was that the castle gate of Seria Castle, which could be blasted open with a maximum of ten ramming attacks, was still as stable as a mountain even thought it had already been rammed more than thirty times by the siege wood.

Its sturdiness and resistance to impact far exceeded Firentis’s expectations.

“Send out the second siege wood!”

Firentis’s order was repeated by the ten Swadian Royal Knights beside him. It was clearly spread throughout the entire army.

In Seria Castle, the orange light on Viscount Kemil’s body was already somewhat weak.

He looked back and found that Baron Sayre had already reorganized his army. He immediately ordered his private army, “Knights, get into formation. We will also retreat to the main army.”

Soon, Viscount Kemil led his private army and quickly retreated to the military formation in Seria Castle.

Baron Sayre and the many nobles did not speak to stop Viscount Kemil, even though deep in their hearts, they still harbored hatred and resentment towards him.

Viscount Kemil’s private army was a very powerful force after all.

Moreover, Viscount Kemil’s previous actions were practically using his life to buy time for them. Although the enemy seemed to be weaker than they had imagined, Viscount Kemil had managed to hold on for so long. They had already reorganized themselves, indeed, they did not have the right to ask Viscount Kemil and the other viscounts to stand at the front all the time.

Boom!

Two consecutive loud bangs rang out. The gate of Seria Castle, which had already been loosened, was instantly broken through and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The castle gate had been broken, and there was no longer any barrier between the two armies.

Through the castle gate of Seria Castle, Firentis looked at the square of Seria Castle. Heavy infantrymen, who were neatly dressed in heavy armor and carrying a knight sword, their eyes were filled with resolution.

This was especially so for the nobles of the South County who were wearing leather armor and standing in front of the army. At this moment, they were no longer holding a knight sword that looked like an artifact, but a real knight sword.

Firentis was extremely angry with the nobles of the South County. It was because of them, a rumor had disrupted his meticulous plan and pushed Kant to the opposition of the entire human noble families.

“Send the order! Attack the castle with the entire army!”

Firentis didn’t have any extra words and directly gave the order.

“Send the order! Attack the city with the entire army!”

As the ten Swadian Royal Knights circulated their extraordinary powers and spread his order throughout the entire army.

The North County’s infantrymen at the front were extremely excited as they surged into Seria Castle like a tidal wave.

In reality, they didn’t know that they had been treated as cannon fodders by Firentis.

They had long been separated from their true masters, the noble lords of the North County. At the same time, Firentis had completely disrupted their formation and rearranged it.

After the stunning battle, they were convinced of Firentis’s orders.

Although they had only played a part in the formation, this did not stop them from taking credit for their victory. As a result, the fearsome heavy cavalries of the South County that they initially scared of had become an ordinary army in their eyes.

In this battle, it was the South County’s army had been beaten so badly that they did not even dare to take a single step forward. They had actually allowed them to attack the castle gate without any obstruction.

This was much easier than when they had attacked Maas Castle.

Hence, the moment the castle gate was breached, the 15,000 North County alliance army’s infantrymen, who had no idea that they had been treated as cannon foddesr, immediately rushed into Seria Castle with high morale.

“Kill! Kill the weaklings of the South County!”

“The heavy cavalries of the South County are just a bunch of trash. Kill them!”

“Kill them! They are trash who can’t even break through the shield formation of our infantry formation!”

“Kill them! Charge! The trash of the South County has turned into infantry!”

“Let us reap this bunch of trash who don’t even have a shield. Charge!”

The soldiers of the North County noble alliance army’s infantry troop were equipped with large machetes that were specially used to fight on foot, as well as light and sturdy round wooden shields, in addition to the spear that was specially used to deal with cavalry.

“Knights! Fight back!”

Baron Sayre stood at the front of the square formation in Seria Square. He was dressed in exquisite leather armor and held a sharp knight sword in his hand. His entire body emitted a faint green supernatural power as he loudly issued orders.

At the same time, he took the lead and faced the infantrymen of the North County noble alliance army.

“Knights! Follow me to kill the enemy!”

The South County’s nobles also shouted loudly.

“Kill!”

“Let the b*stards of the North County taste of our knight sword!”

The infantrymen of the North County noble alliance army swarmed into Seria Castle and soon started to fight with the 14,000 knights or knight attendants who had turned into a heavy infantryman square formation in the square.

The central square of Seria Castle was filled with soldiers.

The intense fighting between the two sides, the sound of shouting, the sound of weapons colliding, and the sound of sharp blades cutting, gathered into one. It was extremely noisy. In such an environment, all the soldiers who were fighting were no different from deaf people, their ears kept ringing.

They could only see a dozen or so people around them. They did not know the overall situation of the war at all. They only knew that when they saw someone who was not from their own camp, they could only use the machete in their hands or the knight sword in their hands to fiercely greet them.

In such a killing environment, everyone became frantic and restless. They only cared about fighting with their eyes red. There was no danger of their morale collapsing.

In the central square of Seria Castle, it quickly turned into a meat grinder, continuously devouring fresh lives.

The ground began to thicken. It was a thick flow of blood that was slowly condensing.
