BXBX NOVEL Chapter 514 - The Fleets Outside of Lionheart City
Chapter 514: The Fleets Outside of Lionheart City
On the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, the city walls were a tough barrier that required a heavy price to break through.
Of course, this was a frontal assault.
Although Baheshtur was not like Rolf, who paid attention to the losses of his troops, he would not attack openly when he could have done so.
A sneak attack was an ambush to begin with.
If not, why would Baheshtur bother to hide the traces of his fleet?
Thirty triremes and 120 sailboats were definitely a huge fleet. It was not easy to hide the traces.
Introduction to the troops that Baron Kant’s subordinate was going to use them to attack Lionheart City.
Trireme: 70 people, two ballistae.
Sailboat: 35 people, no weapons.
This fleet, except for Kant’s trireme, was full.
However, it was not full in the conventional sense. A horse needed to occupy three people.
Therefore, there could not be too many cavalries.
Although Kant’s army did not have a large number of soldiers for this surprise attack, they were extremely elite.
Five hundred Mamlukes, heavy cavalry, elite level 5 troop class.
The Sarrandian helmets on their heads had completely covered their faces. Only their two eyes could be seen through the gaps, showing their indifference towards life, as well as their indifference towards war.
Their entire body was wrapped in a thick Sarrandian chain armor, with fine iron plates crisscrossing each other. On their chests, there was a disc-shaped heart protection mirror, which was suffused with beautiful patterns, as if it was the most precious artifact.
The meticulously woven linen robe was draped over their bodies, and even the valiant Sarrandian warhorse was draped in this light gray linen robe. However, as the horse’s hooves moved, layers of iron plates crisscrossed that formed the warhorse chain armor was also faintly visible.
The heavy lances in their hand were four meters long, thick and long. No one could block their sweep, and when they charged, they could pierce through everything.
The shields of the elite cavalry in their left hands were also of excellent quality.
There was an elite scimitar hidden in its scabbard at their waist, and an even more terrifying two-handed weapon on their backs. The entire body was made of iron. The front part was meticulously carved like a flower bud, but one strike could easily cause people’s brains to burst and bones to break, an iron staff with two hands that was bleeding from internal organs!
This was Mamluke’s standard equipment, the strongest two-handed blunt weapon.
This was the most elite troop class.
There weren’t many Mamlukes in Sarrand Sultanate! They were the strongest kings in the desert!
Then, there were 500 Vaegir Marksman, archers, and a powerful level 5 troop class.
They were top-notch archers from the Kingdom of Vaegirs, and every Vaegir Marksman was a top-notch archery master.
They wore mail armor and a pot helmet, and their expressions were resolute, giving off an intimidating aura.
They were synonymous with speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, and were adept at rain of arrows.
They were pure firepower dealers, machine guns on the battlefield. As long as they could stand firm, the enemy’s front line would be destroyed by their continuous rain of arrows.
Next, 500 Ravenstern Rangers, archers, terrifying level 5 troop class.
They were top-notch archers from the Kingdom of Ravenstern. Every Ravenstern Ranger was also a top-notch archery master.
They were synonymous with stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness. What they pursued was shooting stability. They were like semi-automatic rifles, every shoot was lethal, and their arrows would shoot through enemy’s head. They did not pursue the dense rain of arrows, but only pursued the goal of taking away an enemy with each arrow.
They wore mail armor that was like a light infantryman. They were covered in a linen robe, and there was an exquisite two-handed greatsword in the scabbard on their back. The white composite heavy bow belonged to the step bow. It was placed in the bow pouch on their waist. When the enemy was close to them, these rangers with superb archery skills could also pull out the two-handed greatswords on their backs, turning them into experts in close combat.
They could deal lethal long-range damage and could also engage in close combat.
There were also 500 Rhodok Sharpshooters, crossbow archers, a deadly level-5 troop class.
They were the top-notch archers from the kingdom of Rhodoks. Every Rhodok Sharpshooter was a top-notch crossbow master.
Among the long-range attack troop class, Rhodok Sharpshooters could be said to be the strongest archers. Their weapons were the strongest mass-produced heavy crossbows in the entire continent of Caradia — siege crossbows.
One could tell from the name how deadly this weapon was.
Just how powerful the siege crossbow was, it had already far surpassed the heavy crossbow, reaching a terrifying degree!
Within 50 meters, the steel crossbow arrow could directly pierce through the steel shield with the strongest defense.
Within 150 meters, it could pierce through the chain armor, causing fatal injuries to the flesh within.
Within the limit of 300 meters, it could still pierce through the inlaid iron-scale armor.
Then, there were 1,000 Rhodok Sergeants, a level 5 troop class with strong defense.
Holding a heavy halberd-like machete and carrying a broad shield on their back, Rhodok Sergeants’s defense was astonishing. In close combat, they were second only to Royal Guards of Kingdom of Nords.
This was the most elite troop class 5 infantry in the entire Continent of Caradia. Their defense was even better than the Swadian Sergeant. It could even contend with the Nord Royal Guard, a troop class 6 that was rarely seen in Caradia.
Not to mention the 600 Water Bandit Minions, 400 Water Bandit Bosuns, and 200 Water Bandit Captains.
This was the weakest troop class in the army. The water bandits were only a level 2 troop class, Water Bandit Bosun a level 3 troop class, and the Water Bandit Captain was a level 4 troop class. However, under such a special environment, the water troops were indispensable.
They were extremely proficient in water battles. If they were to fight purely on water, even an infantry of a higher level might not be their match.
God knows if Kant had not directly upgraded these troop class, how could there be 200 Water Bandit Captains out of just over a thousand water bandits.
Finally, there was the most terrifying extraordinary power troop, the 200 mages,100 mage apprentices, 100 Swadian Royal Knights and 100 Sarleon Lion Knights.
The reason why Kant prepared such a powerful army was not only to attack Lionheart City, but also to defend it.
Moreover, the War Temple of God of War was the number one temple in the Dukedom of Leo, and it was in Lionheart City.
Lionheart City was built next to the Resniston River, and on the other side of the river was the southern defense line, which had gathered more than 30,000 elite soldiers of the Dukedom of Leo, to defend against the Silver Platter Kingdom’s invasion.
A hundred miles north was the political center of the Dukedom of Leo. The extremely powerful lion fort was also the base of Cameron, Duke of Leo.
When Kant took down Lionheart City, he would be caught in the pincer attack of Lionheart City and the south coast defense line.
In addition, the four top noble families who lost Lionheart City would definitely not give up.
Therefore, strong power was a must.
