Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 541: Blood-red River In the Rain

The soldiers of both sides rode on warhorses that were galloping at high speeds. They only had a chance to exchange blows in an instant.

The 30-meter-wide West Main Road was enough for 30 horses to gallop in a row.

The were 10 knights on each of the first two rows of charging formation.

There was a distance of two to three meters between the two rows This was enough for them to cross each other.

They also had enough riding skills to do so.

Each of the Swadian Royal Knights in the first row and each of the knights of the War Temple of God of War in the first row had their own clear targets.

That was the enemy that charging toward them on their right.

Both sides with rich experience on the battlefield would not make a mistake because of this!

“Kill! For the honor of His Highness Kant!”

“Kill! For the honor of the God of War, Edmund!”

A Swadian Royal Knight from the first row had already grabbed the four-meter-long lance with both of his hands when they were still 50 meters away from the enemy. His eyes were fixed on the grand knight in the front row.

He only needed to kill this grand knight. The others would be dealt with by other comrades.

A distance of 50 meters, in the blink of an eye, it had already crossed 30 meters, leaving only 20 meters.

This Swadian Royal Knight viciously thrust his lance at the grand knight of the War Temple whom he had targeted.

That grand knight and this Swadian Royal Knight made the same choice.

The lance of the Swadian Royal Knight emitted a faint golden glow, while the lance of the grand knight of the War Temple emitted a faint blood-red glow.

They both activated their extraordinary powers at the same time, which could greatly increase their power.

The Swadian Royal Knight and the grand knight both shook their lance at the same time, and clashed against each other’s lance.

Clang!

At the instant the two lances clashed, a clear sound of metal colliding rang out.

At the same time, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled, as heavy rain poured down!

Across the dense rain, the grand knight of War Temple saw the slightly ferocious and fanatical eyes of the Swadian Royal Knight. The knight lance in his hand was knocked away by the Swadian Royal Knight. Although it did not slip out of his hand, it was twiddled to the left. He couldn’t stab the other party like this.

However, after the Swadian Royal Knight saw the panic eyes of the grand knight of War Temple through the dense raindrops. He did not have the slightest bit of mercy and used all his strength to stabilize his lance.

As the horses galloped at high speed, the lance in the hands of the Swadian Royal Knight instantly pierced through the grand knight.

Under the extreme speed of the thick conical lance, it easily pierced through the iron armor of the grand knight of War Temple. Even though the other party had a priest who had cast a defensive spell on his armor, it was useless.

The lance of the Swadian Royal Knight pierced through the grand knight of War Temple and went through his heart. He was directly hit by the lance of Swadian Royal Knight.

Fresh blood flowed down from the lance, but it was quickly washed away by the heavy rain.

The Swadian Royal Knight won the first round of battle. He successfully penetrated through the gap between the two rows of the knight orders of War Temple.

He did not even have the time to throw the grand knight off his lance. He had to take on the second knight of the knight orders of War Temple.

He only needed to deal with the enemies in this row.

This knight was following behind that grand knight. He was just an official knight.

“Kill! For the honor of the God of War, Edmund!”

The official knight was not afraid at all. He pointed his lance at the Swadian Royal Knight. He did not care whether the other party was a grand knight or not, because even if his opponent was a grand knight, he would still be pierced by his lance.

He was very clear that he had already entered the charging stance. As long as his lance pierced the other party, the other party would still die even he was a grand knight.

His strength came from the speed of the warhorse, not just his own strength.

However, the Swadian Royal Knight was already an expert at the peak level of grand knights. At this moment, his strength had been increased by the active and passive special effects of the “Glory. Bright Red Movement” cloak, it was simply not something that this official knight could deal with.

With a light tap, he knocked the lance of the second official knight to the side and stabbed him to death again.

When it came to the third knight, the Swadian Royal Knight stopped killing. He only knocked his opponent’s lance away to ensure his own safety. At the same time, he took the opportunity to throw the two corpses on the lance to the ground.

He handed the third knight over to the Sarleon Lion Knight behind him to take care of.

This first row of Swadian Royal Knight continued to kill one grand knight after another.

It was only when he came across the seventh grand knight that he was killed by the opponent due to his exhaustion of his extraordinary powers. His strength was reduced to a level that was lower than the opponent’s. His corpse was pierced through by the lance of the grand knight, while his warhorse continued to gallop forward.

In the pouring rain, Kant’s cavalry and the enemy’s cavalry crossed each other.

The knight order members of War Temple were like weeds in this battle, being harvested by Kant’s subordinates, the Swadian Royal Knights, the Sarleon Lion Knights, and Mamlukes. Their corpses were flung down by the lances of the knights, it was one to two kilometers long on the West Main Road.

Blood flowed out of the wounds that were pierced by the lance of the knights and merged with the rainwater that accumulated on the ground. It almost dyed the entire West Main Road a bright red color.

It was only because of the heavy rain that the smell of blood did not disperse widely. Otherwise, the entire Western District would be covered in a thick smell of blood.

The blood river formed by the four knight orders of War Temple seemed to have been cut off by the silver-gray steel flood, which devoured the blood river bit by bit.

When the two heavy cavalry legions passed through each other, out of the 4,000 members of the knight orders of War Temple, only 600 remained.

As for the 990 heavy cavalries under Kant, they only lost 50 Swadian Royal Knights, 40 Sarleon Lion Knights, and 100 Mamlukes.

The ratio of losses between two sides were close to 1:20.

It was obvious which of the two cavalry legions was stronger.

“Slow down the entire army!” Kant gathered his remaining extraordinary powers and gave the order tiredly.

The remaining cavalry immediately slowed down.

Kant did not feel that it was not necessary for the knights to attack the phalanx of the temple guards when facing the spells of two hundred temple priests and one hundred reserve priests of War Temple.

In this charge, Kant also killed two grand knights of War Temple, and more than ten ordinary knights.

At this time, the remaining knights of the war shrine were already like fish in a barrel. Baheshtur was leading the Rhodok Sergeants, all the archers, and the mages, maintaining a strict formation. At the same time, they were advancing quickly under the effect of mages’ Group Acceleration spell.
