Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 546
Chapter 546: Regretful Rebellion Army
The sounds of battle continued for more than half a day.
By the afternoon, the sounds of battle had gradually weakened.
At this moment, Firentis ordered the Swadian Sergeants, the Swadian Footmen, and the Swadian Heavy Footmen who had been blocking the entrance of the castle to slowly push into the castle.
“Order: Kill the rest in the castle!”
“Order: if you find anyone who is not dead, kill them immediately.”
Firentis looked at Seria Castle with a cold and determined gaze.
At this moment, in Seria Castle, after half a day of fighting, less than 3,000 out of 30,000 people were left, and almost all of them were injured.
At this moment, the Swadian Footmen held a shield in one hand and a spatha in the other hand as they slowly pushed forward.
“Hahaha, scum of the South County, your end is here!”
“The elites of our army are here to reap your lives!”
The infantry belonging to the North County noble alliance army laughed in surprise when they saw the arrival of the Swadian Footmen. At the same time, they mocked the soldiers of the South County.
Splash!
An infantryman of the North County noble alliance army, who was cursing happily, was suddenly pulled back Swadian Footman and was pierced through in his heart.
“I… I’m the alliance army… The alliance army… why…”
The infantryman was bleeding from his mouth. He asked in puzzlement, but before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground.
The Swadian Footman who had killed him stepped forward and looked at the soldier who fell to the ground. He said softly, “This is the order we received!”
Whether it was the soldiers of the North County noble alliance army or the soldiers under Kant.
They did not know that this order was because of the rebellion and strife of the North County’s noble. They had forgotten their identity as captives. Their actions that crossed the line had brought about a fate of destruction for themselves and their soldiers.
However, due to the loyalty of the system, the soldiers under Kant completely obeyed the orders of their superiors.
The 3000 or so people who survived on the battlefield, whether it was the infantrymen of the North County noble alliance army or the heavy cavalries of the South County noble alliance army, they didn’t have much combat strength left.
Facing the Swadian soldiers who were advancing step by step and mercilessly killing, they had almost no ability to resist.
The merciless and gruesome slaughter completely ended the remaining soldiers in Seria Castle.
In Seria Castle, corpses piled up layer by layer, reaching the ankles of the soldiers.
Hundreds of vultures were attracted by the smell of blood that soared into the sky. At this moment, they were circling above Seria Castle.
“Order: Plunder the spoils of war!”
“Order: Drag the corpses to gather outside of Seria Castle and cremate them!”
At this moment, there were no spies from other countries on the battlefield. After Firentis’s plan was destroyed by the rumors of the noble families in the South County, those spies no longer needed to exist.
They were mercilessly chased away by the desert bandits and the Swadian Heavy Cavalries led by Rolf.
Some of the spies, who relied on their numbers and were unwilling to retreat, were forced to stay forever by Rolf.
Along with a huge fire, it lit up at the side of Seria Castle, marking the first step of Firentis’s plan to invade the South County.
It also meant that the land of the North County had completely become Lord Kant’s territory, and half of the South County had become the barrier of the North County.
As long as Rolf successfully destroyed the rebellion army, half of the South County would fall into Lord Kant’s hands.
On the same night, in an abandoned farm deep within the South County.
The rebellion army of the South County was stationed here.
At this moment, the commander of the rebellion army, Korod, was drinking wine to make himself feel better. If not, he would be filled with regret.
Yes, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, Korod was very regret now.
He regretted betraying the alliance agreement that Kant had given him with extremely generous conditions.
After betraying Kant’s very formal alliance agreement, Korod tried to lead the South County rebellion army to seek refuge with Cameron, Duke of Leo. He used the land that they “controlled” and the number of soldiers as bargaining chips. They sought the identity of a noble, but like the nobles of South County of Seria Castle, they were mercilessly rejected by Duke of Leo.
If Cameron accepted them, it would undoubtedly be a challenge to the order of the noble class.
Rebels like them were the existence that all the nobles loathed the most. Their own actions were a challenge to the rationality of the noble ruling this world. If Grand Duke Cameron really gave them the title of nobility, then this world that was ruled by the noble families might completely fall into chaos.
Once that was a precedent, more would come. If the South County rebellion army was able to successfully turn from a slave into a noble through a rebellion, then the slaves of the other kingdoms and dukedoms might follow suit.
Therefore, from the moment they started the rebellion, their ending was already destined.
After being rejected by the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, the commander of the rebellion army, Korod, expressed his intention to surrender to the four top noble families in South County, but the ending was equally tragic.
With the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, and the four top noble families leading the way, the other nobles in South County all expressed their condemnation of the rebellion army in South County. The noble families naturally called them the rebel army. They swore that as long as Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, summoned to take the rebellion army, they would definitely send their private army to support them.
Under such circumstances, the commander of the rebellion army of South County and the other commanders were like the nobles in Seria Castle, completely falling into the abyss of despair.
Although they had “occupied” half of the land of South County, these lands were almost in ruins, unable to provide them with any follow-up support.
This was because the population had already been completely massacred or swept away by them.
After being rejected by Grand Duke Cameron and the four top-tier noble families of the South County, Korod had once tried to lead the rebellion army to cross the other half of the South County, crossed the Resniston River, and returned to the land of the Silver Platter Kingdom.
In Korod’s opinion, the silver platter kingdom, which had already fallen into chaos, might have a place for him to stand.
However, his actions were treated as another round of invasion by the high-level nobles of the South County. The strength of the high-level nobles was far surpassed that of the middle-level noble represented by Viscount Kemil.
Moreover, their private soldiers were not like Viscount Kemil’s. Most of them had been drawn out to form an alliance of noble forces that wanted to conquer the North County.
