Chapter 606: The Hidden Crown of Darkness
If it was just the siege crossbow arrows, with the strength of the black-armored knights, most of them could block the arrows from 50 meters away. However, there were even more arrows. The arrows shot by Rhodok snipers were mixed in with them. If the black-armored knights wanted to easily block the arrows, it would be more difficult.
Moreover, besides the archers, there were even more terrifying mages from the Enfath Empire who attacked these black-armored knights. Their spells were truly extraordinary, their attack strength was no less than that of the Swadian royal knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights.
As for the black-armored knights’ armors and helmets, although they had been added with abyssal magic iron, the amount added was very little. The resistance of their armors and helmets to spells could only reduce the power of spells by three levels.
However, just this level of resistance was not enough to let them survive the bombardment of spells by a thousand mages.
Within the army of black-armored knights, there were screams of pain and then some were rolling on the ground as they were thrown off from their horses. This kind of situation continued one after another. It meant that one black-armored knight after another had died under the terrifying spells of the Rhodok snipers or the Enfath Empire Mages.
“It’s over!” Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron closed his eyes in pain.
He fought against demons many times every year. Demons were also cunning, but very few of them could be compared to Baron Kant. He actually used the same trick twice. The second time, even his most elite ace black-armored knights were entrapped. He was too shameless, too sinister.
The black-armored knights were busy blocking the arrows and dodging the spells. The slow movements of the golem puppets were naturally ignored by them. However, most of the time, it was the golem puppets that smashed them, it caused their armors to shake violently. When they were almost stunned, the fatal arrows or spells drowned them in an instant.
Time passed slowly. The black-armored knights were exhausted bit by bit. They did not kill any of their enemies. They were so busy blocking the arrows that they did not even kill the golem puppets. It could be said that as the ace army of a Baron of the world, their deaths were too grievous. They did not play any role at all.
Under the command of Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, the 1,500 archers, and 10,000 infantry phalanxes turned around and retreated. The 2,000 heavy cavalries at the Grand Knight level turned their horses around with difficulty, they also began to retreat along with the pace of the infantry phalanxes.
The motive behind all these actions was that Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron wanted to salvage some of the black-armored knights.
At this time, out of the 1,500 black-armored knights, 500 had already fallen to the ground forever.
“Black-armored knights, retreat!” Ryan. Isai. Cameron roared out an order.
Kant saw the enemy’s actions clearly and understood that this was Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s dying struggle. He wanted to save the black-armored knights who had been bitten by Kant.
However, Kant would not let them get what they wanted so easily.
The moment the black-armored knights turned around, another 100 black-armored knights fell forever. They could not care less about anything else. They twisted their bodies to block the arrows and spells while quickly driving their horses to retreat. Some of the black-armored knights’ horses died, so they retreated on foot. It just so happened that their retreating speed was decided by the slowest infantry corps. Even if they walked, they could still keep up.
However, since they could retreat, Kant could naturally order the army to advance.
The golem puppets were controlled by the mages and quickly chased after the black-armored knights. The mages controlled the golem puppets to use their full strength to rush forward, instead of having the golem puppets slowly walk on their own. The speed of the golem puppets was not much slower than the enemy’s infantrymen.
At the same time, Kant’s army also followed the golem puppets forward.
The crossbowmen and mages advanced while attacking crazily, dealing terrifying damage.
At this moment, the distance between the black-armored knights has not pulled apart. Instead, they were fleeing with their backs facing the crossbowmen and mages. It became more difficult to defend against the arrows and spells that were attacking them. This made the situation of the black-armored knights worse. The speed of death increased greatly. One after another, the black-armored knights fell on the road of escape.
Time slowly passed, and another half an hour passed.
The last black-armored knight had lost his warhorse. He stood on the ground, holding the crossbow arrow that pierced through his heart unwillingly, and fell on the square of the Lion Fort on his back.
Not long after the black-armored knight fell, the summoning time of the golem puppets was also up. With a flash of light, all the golem puppets disappeared.
At this moment, Kant, through the vision of the three goshawks sent to observe the three world nobles, discovered that the three world barons had sent their troops at the same time! Each of their armies had at least 2,000 black-armored knights, while Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud had even more black-armored knights, more than 3,000 of them.
The three world barons led their armies straight towards the Lion Fort. Unlike the other upper-class noble families, they did not waste time on the road. Instead, they moved quickly. Kant estimated that in another hour, Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne, who was closest to the Lion Fort, would arrive with more than 20,000 troops.
“Without the puppets as cannon fodder, it’s time to prove that we’ve just destroyed Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s soldiers and him! We must try our best before the arrival of the World Baron.”
“Swadian royal knights and Sarleon Lion Knights listen up, target all of Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s troops, attack!”
“Rhodok sergeants and Swadian sergeants listen up, guard the crossbowmen and mages, defend them against the enemy’s counterattack!”
“Rhodok snipers, Virgil archers, Ravenstern Rangers, mages listen up, long-range support the Swadian royal knights and Sarleon Lion Knights!”
After giving the order to attack Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, Kant himself quickly rode towards Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron.
He wanted to kill Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron and take the Crown of Darkness from his hands. Perhaps he needed to pry some information out of Ryan. Isai. Cameron before killing him.
Kant could sense that the Crown of Darkness was on Baron Cameron. This Crown of Darkness might be related to why he appeared in this world. Kant had always thought that he was really Ryan. Isai. Cameron’s son. It was not until he heard the secret conversation between the four World Barons yesterday that he realized that it was not the case, and he did not have any memories before the age of three. Previously, Kant had explained to himself that he was a traveler. The brain of a child before the age of three was not developed enough to withstand his thoughts and memories. Therefore, he was in a deep sleep at that time, so he did not have any memories before the age of three.
But now, it was obviously not that simple.
Seeing Kant attacking him, Baron Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron ran away, running desperately into the depths of the Lion Fort.
