Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 294: The Formation of the Cavalry System

This building meant that “Drondheim” Castle would welcome a new troop class.

Combined with the rules of this world.

A level 6 troop class with extraordinary power — the Sarleon Lion Knight!

And this transformation was very simple.

Similar to Kant’s royal knight, it only required 100 reputation points.

However, during the transformation process, it was not like the Sword of King that could be converted anytime, anywhere. As long as there was a coronation ceremony, one could be converted to a royal knight. Instead, it could only be done in the designated building, the Lion Knight Garrison.

With their own honor, they swore to the flag of the Order of the Lion.

This was an oath of honor.

It was similar to the royal knights’ loyalty to Kant.

The Lion Knights were not only loyal to Kant, but they also had to protect the honor of the Order of the Lion. Since they had joined the order, they became the members and represented the honor of the Order of the Lion!

Pendor Continent’s strongest national knight order, the Order of the Lion!

Kant replied with a positive attitude.

In order to meet the Lion Knight, Kant chose 20 Swadian Knights to enter the garrison.

He paid 2,000 reputation points.

The bell in the Lion Knight Garrison rang.

Almost in a short moment, 20 Swadian Knights walked out once again.

However, they did not look like they used to wear two layers of chain armors. Instead, they were all equipped with the best defensive equipment in the era of cold weapons — full plate armor.

They looked similar to the Swadian Royal Knights.

However, the plate armor on these Sarleon Lion Knights was even thicker and heavier.

The patterns on them were not exquisite decorations that symbolized the majesty of the royal family. Instead, they were mostly male lions. From the overall look, one could tell that these lion knights were all heavy armored warriors who were good at setting up traps. This was an expensive chest armors with lion patterns.

Even the warhorses beneath them were covered in thicker plate armor and a red and yellow linen robe.

Awe-inspiring!

As expected of the strongest national knight order, the name of the mighty wanton knights!

They were equipped with the Garter Medal Lion Kite Shield on their backs, and a heavy armor-piercing spear hung on their sides. At their waists, they held two weapons, the silver greatsword and the warhammer.

This represented the valor of these Lion Knights.

Charging into the enemy formation with an invincible might, using a strong melee battle tactic to crush the enemy’s mental strength.

This was equivalent to a heavy tank that was good at melee combat and had mobility!

“Very good.”

Kant nodded slightly, giving a positive attitude to these Lion Knights who were wearing Sarleon feather helmets.

The feathery helmet was like a royal guard.

The red feathers on the top of their heads were raised up. As they walked and rode on their horses, they swayed with the wind. The group of them looked like a burning lion’s mane, which made them even more imposing.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the attribute interface of the troop class appeared.

[ Sarleon Lion Knights (level 6 heavy cavalry): Fearless knights inherited from the Order of Lion. They are the national knights of the Kingdom of Sarleon. They are the ultimate knights who decide victory on the battlefield. ]

[ Talent: 1) Lion Physique: They possess special powers. They can increase their physical attributes by 250% . 2) Belief in Honor: they will fight like a lion in a chaotic battle. They will increase their physical attributes by 50% to 300% as time passes. 3）Battle With Blood: they can plunder the enemy’s essence, energy, and spirit to replenish themselves during battle in order to extend their battle time. ]

Kant glanced at the attribute interface, his eyes slightly stunned.

After looking at it carefully, he finally let out a breath. “As expected of the Lion Knights, as expected of the title of the strongest national knights!”

They were really strong!

They were ridiculously strong!

They were so strong to the point that Kant was delighted!

If the royal knights were like the flood that directly broken through the dikes and rushed out of it, then the Lion Knights were the raging flood that completely destroyed the enemy’s defensive line wave after wave!

Kant’s cavalry combat system was about to take shape.

And that was not all.

[ Order of Lion Garrison: The national knights of the Kingdom of Sarleon, the base of the Lion Knights. Use reputation points and denars to train the members of the Order of the Lion. 1) Lion Knight: Spend 100 reputation points to level up an ordinary knight to a Lion Knight. 2) Lion Squire: Spend 150 denar to level up a level-4 cavalry to a Lion Squire. ]

In the Order of the Lion, there were not only level-6 Lion Knights who were extremely strong.

There were also level-5 Lion Squires.

They were also cavalry and were heavy armored knights. They wore chain plate armor and a light red feathered helmet. They were equipped with a spiked warhammer, a heavy lance, a silver greatsword, a thick kite shield, and a red armored warhorse.

These level-5 Lion Squires were the squires of the Lion Knight.

The hierarchy of the Knights was strict.

It was even stricter than the relationship between the royal knights and the ordinary knights.

Usually, the Lion Knights were in charge of training the Lion Squires. During wartime, the Lion Squires would fight closely with the Lion Knights.

And when the Lion Squires experienced a series of battles and developed Lion’s Physique and other talents, these squires would have the qualifications to be crowned in the Lion Knight Garrison and become the Lion Knights!

It could be said that.

Kant could train all the ordinary Level 4 cavalry to become level 5 Lion Squires.

Then, with the help of the level 5 Lion Squires, he could gain full experience points and level up to a level 6 Lion Knight!

It was even easier than a knight leveling up to a royal knight.

Even if Kant was not around and there was not the Sword of King, as long as there were level 4 cavalry and the Lion Knight Garrison, the castle or town that this building was located in would be able to maintain a steady recruitment of level 5 cavalry and level 6 extraordinary cavalry!

This was because the Lion Knights were the national knight order, facing the entire Kingdom of Sarleon.

Kant had already obtained the recognition of the Kingdom of Sarleon.

Then, this garrison could also form a complete Order of the Lion!

“System!”

Kant nodded secretly.

Currently, within his power, the cavalry system had already taken shape.

With the Swadian Cavalry that was good at charging as the sharp edge, and Mamluke who was good at using his two-handed iron staff to heavily attack the enemy, he would act as the support of the two wings. In addition, the Sarleon Lion Knights who were good at melee combat and expanding the results of the battle would act as the backbone.

As long as these three powerful troop classes followed up, a wave of attacks would destroy the enemy’s formation.

The strong cavalry countries were good at field combat.

The current Kant, after the formation of the cavalry system, was almost invincible in field combat!

According to his calculations, with just a small number of elite soldiers, if they met the Dukedom of Leo’s 2000 heavy cavalry troops, they would have a chance of killing them in a head-on confrontation. If they used ambush or surprise attack tactics, the chances of victory would be even higher!

Kant followed the elite soldier policy, and his troops were already extremely strong.

Furthermore, his cavalry was the best of the best.

There were already two types of level 6 cavalries.

If it was not for the fact that the scale of his troops was still too small, and there were no servants or allies in the Dukedom of Leo to support them, he would have brought his troops to kill their way through the Stone Pass and enter the North County to wreak havoc.

His current elite troops were enough to invade the Dukedom of Leo, and they could even teleport around in a short period of time, making them invincible.

However, what was missing was the size of his army.

It was easy to conquer territory.

However, if he didn’t guard the territory that he conquered, then he would only be giving it to others for free!

Therefore, Kant wasn’t in a hurry. He was only 16 years old. Even if he used 10 years to slowly infiltrate the Dukedom of Leo with the help of the endless trade caravan of table salt, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to cultivate his own forces and potential allies.

This was a long-term plan, not a short-term gain or loss.

“In that case.”

Kant thought of the mission he had received from the pope.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head to look in the direction of the northern desert and said slowly, “Then let’s set off tomorrow.”

He did not intend to delay any longer.

The reward from the system was a spring eye.

It was just enough to match the lake outside the “Drondheim” Castle, making the greenery in this oasis bigger.

After all, there was already a spring in the Oasis Lookout. Although it could supply the land of the entire oasis and maintain the lake and the canal system in the castle, it was already a little strenuous.

After all, there were a lot of water towers and canals in the “Drondheim” Castle.

The daily water consumption was also extremely high.

In addition to irrigating hundreds of acres of land, it was still acceptable to be unable to do so.

The desert environment had a high rate of evaporation. It was not a plain or mountainous area. Even if the evaporation were limited, if they could not find another spring water source as soon as possible, it was estimated that this Oasis Lookout might went through desertification again.

In other words, the desert would erode the Oasis Lookout and turn the cultivated land back into a desert.

Kant made a decision in his heart.

After arranging for Joslin to continue his work, he decided to communicate with Pendor Continent on his own.

After thinking for a while, he still arranged for someone to call for Firentis.

Soon, Firentis, who was wearing heavy chain armor and holding a sword and shield in his hands, quickly walked to the council hall. It seemed that he had just been patrolling on the city wall. He bowed respectfully and said, “Lord Kant, I await your orders.”

“Yes, I have something to talk to you about.”

Kant nodded and said directly, “Do you have any suggestions for the current city defense?”

“The city defense?”, Firentis was slightly stunned.

“That’s right.”

Kant reached out his hand and said gently, “Sit down and talk. I plan to set off for the depths of the Nahrin Desert tomorrow, but I’m always worried about my castle. I want to ask you, is there anything else that can be improved?”

Firentis was a noble from the Kingdom of Swadia.

He was a noble knight of Aaron City. Since childhood, he had learned all kinds of military-related knowledge, including the construction and layout of the city defense.

Most importantly, he had once traveled through Caradia.

His knowledge and experience were both rich.

Firentis did not disappoint Kant either. He hesitated for a moment and nodded after thinking for a while. “That’s right, Lord Kant. I think what you said makes sense. Our city defense indeed needs to be supplemented!”

“Tell me.”, Kant frowned.

“It’s very simple. Our city defense only has a thin city wall system.”

Firentis did not hold back, he said straightforwardly, “Although there are arrow towers and towers on the city wall that could provide powerful crossbow attacks, if the enemy forcefully withstood the crossbowmen’s attacks and broke through our city wall, then our castle can be said to have fallen. Other than defending the council hall, we basically lost the ability to resist.”

“Very well, let’s continue.”, Kant frowned. He was not angry at all because this was the truth.

Firentis said, “My suggestion is to build another city wall that can cover the entire Oasis Lookout.”. He paused, then said to Kant, “Perhaps the wall does not need to be built at the agricultural area, but the east gate and the south gate, these two key gates, need to be protected by extra city walls and city gates. Otherwise, if the enemy breaks through the city gates, it will be difficult for us to defend.”

“You mean, the barbican? “, Kant quickly thought of a noun and explained the meaning of this term.

Firentis was slightly stunned, then he nodded and said, “Lord Kant, this is really a genius idea!”

“It’s the wisdom of the ancient people.”

Kant shrugged and did not hang it on his body.

After all, this was the warfare wisdom of an ancient dynasty. The construction of the barbican was indeed very good for defense.

Especially with the western ancient times, the city walls were mostly made up of arrow towers and towers. The construction of the barbican could even form a crossfire attack similar to that of a prism fortress, causing the attackers to be attacked from multiple angles.
