Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 520: Mages Cleaning the Camps

“Charge in! Don’t leave anyone alive!”

Baheshtur ordered coldly.

Rhodok Sergeants, who were in front, raised their broad shields to cover their entire bodies and charged into the barracks.

In the barracks, the guards at the south gate of Lionheart City were all trembling in fear.

Some of them had not fully equipped themselves up until now.

In fact, they didn’t even have the thought of putting on their armor or weapons.

They naively waited in this room for the enemy’s order to surrender.

However, what they were waiting for was the cold-blooded Rhodok Sergeants and the level 5 archers or crossbow masters.

The powerful army from the Continent of Caradia slowly advanced in the barracks at the south gate of Lionheart City.

They crushed over a row of barracks after another row.

Mercilessly, they killed them all.

Half an hour later, the south gate of Lionheart City fell into the hands of Baheshtur’s army.

The more than 2,400 soldiers in the barracks at the south gate were all killed mercilessly.

Baheshtur gathered his army.

“Pass down the order: Rhodok Sergeant 1st squad, Vaegir Marksman1st squad, Ravenstern Ranger 1st squad, Rhodok Sharpshooters 1st squad, defend the south gate of Lionheart City.”

Following Baheshtur’s order, these squads separated from the main force.

Each squad had 50 people, and Baheshtur only left 200 people to guard the south gate.

Although there were only 200 people, they were all elite level-5 troop class.

Each of them had the strength that surpassed this world’s peak knights, and were only slightly inferior to grand knights.

“Order: Archers and crossbowmen, go up to the city gate and defend!”

“Order: Rhodok Sergeants, guard the city gate below the city gate in the arched cave!”

“Apart from our army and the troops led by His Highness Kant, kill anyone who dares to approach the south city gate!”

One hundred and fifty archers and crossbowmen.

Taking advantage of the city gate, their defensive ability was without a doubt.

Fifty Rhodok Sergeants guarding the three city gates was absolutely flawless.

Through Baheshtur’s investigation of Lionheart City’s military strength, he was clear that after destroying the guards at the south gate, 200 elite level 5 troop class soldiers guarding the south gate was enough.

To take back the south gate of Lionheart City from these 200 terrifying soldiers, they needed at least 3,000 elite troops, regardless of life or death.

“The rest of the troop listen up!”

“Follow me and attack the North Gate of Lionheart City!”

Baheshtur chose to continue attacking the north gate at night because he had carefully considered the strength of Lionheart City.

The east gate of Lionheart City needed to pass through the noble district in the eastern district of Lionheart City.

There were many private noble armies in the noble district. The news of the south gate falling had definitely reached the noble district. Those nobles might be prepared to fight, so it would be difficult to capture them at night.

Moreover, the noble district was under the influence of Cameron, Duke of Leo, in Lionheart City. The power he had set up there could not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Association of Mages was also in the noble district of the eastern district. Baheshtur intended to hand over the masters of these extraordinary powers to the mages on his side to deal with.

The west gate of Lionheart City had similar problems.

The first temple of the God of War was located in the western district. There were sacrificial groups and knight orders in the temple. This was also a tough nut to crack. It had to be handled carefully.

Only the north gate of Lionheart City, like the south gate, had only 3,000-man garrison troops. There was no need to deal with additional troops.

After the battle with the garrison troops at the south gate, Baheshtur already knew what the quality of the garrison troops at the four gates were.

Not to mention a sneak attack at night, even if it was a formal assault, he could easily capture them with the elite condition of his troops.

...

Kant led the water bandits and quietly hid near the Lionheart City navy camps on the Resniston River.

When the sky suddenly turned red near the south gate of Lionheart City, Kant directly gave the order, “Order: Mage apprentice team one, cast a magic ball spell and destroy all the soldiers on the sentry towers!”

Kant saw that the red in the sky. It was formed by Baheshtur’s order for the entire army to light up the sky above them with more than 3000 torches.

This was the signal for Baheshtur’s official attack to begin.

It was also the attack opportunity that Kant had been waiting for.

As Kant gave the order, the 50 mage apprentices from the first team cast magic bullets at the same time, 50 magic balls that were glowing with white light rose into the air.

These magic balls looked very gentle, but their power could not be underestimated.

Their range was 100 meters, and their power was no less than the arrows fired by the level 4 troop class archers.

Arrows were penetrative attacks, but magic bullets were explosive attacks.

In the navy camp, a 200-meter long and 30-meter wide bay extended into the river.

On both sides of the bay and the river, there were five sentry towers.

In each watchtower, there were 10 soldiers on guard duty.

Of course, they were all dozing off. None of them were on guard and watched over the river carefully.

The magic balls fired by the mage apprentices were all aimed at a soldier on guard duty.

The 50 magic balls that were emitting white light split into two groups and flew east and west.

“Bang!”

At almost the same time, the 50 magic balls struck the dozing sentry soldiers, causing serious wounds on their bodies.

The sentry soldiers who were hit in the head by the magic balls did not have any reaction. Half of their heads were directly blown off by the magic balls, and they were dead.

As for the sentry soldiers who were hit in other parts of their bodies by the magic balls, a big hole was directly blown out of their bodies, and fresh blood gushed out like spring water.

The intense pain woke them up from their sleep, and they immediately let out an extremely tragic cry.

This cry spread far and wide, waking up most of the soldiers in the navy camp.

Although these soldiers were not elites, they would attack every week to drive away the water bandits on the upper and lower reaches of the river. Therefore, their reaction to the sudden change was much better than the soldiers at the south gate who were once much more elite than them.

When these navy soldiers heard the screams of the sentries, they realized that something must have happened.

They quickly put on their equipment and weapons before leaving the camps to find out what had happened.

Kant wanted to destroy the sentry soldiers first because he didn’t want the them to shoot from above the tower during the battle.
