The Senwaya Range was an undeveloped mountain range. The so-called rugged mountain path was just an adjective.
In other words, Kant and the others had followed the undulations of the mountain into the depths of the mountain. They climbed up and down the the crooked mountain path, causing the Sarrandian horseman choose to dismount their warhorses and continue to lead the warhorses deeper into the mountain.
As for the camel caravan consisting of 30 camels and the 10 peasants, Kant did not allow them to enter the mountain. Instead, he left Manid and 10 Sarrandian horsemn as guards with them. They at the foot of the cliff at the entrance of the mountain, setting up tents to provide support, so they could act as a backup if Kant encountered any unusual situations in the mountain.
These one-humped camels were capable of walking in the desert for a long journey. They were undoubtedly at ease and thus established the title of “Boat of the desert” and “Desert elf”.
However, these camels would be cumbersome in the mountain environment compared to the flexible warhorse. This was the main reason that they were left behind.
Kant thought that it was better for the camel caravan to stay outside. After all, in the Senwaya Range, demonized creatures, carnivorous beasts, and Jackalan tribe could be seen almost everywhere.
If there were any accidents, it would be troublesome to protect the camel caravan and the accompanying civilians.
Kant personally led the team into the Senwaya Range.
Thirty Sarrandian horsemen led their horses and followed him.
After the tournament at the Stone Pass, Kant had already understood the level of these level-4 cavalries They had generally reached the “knight” level of this world.
Although they were at the ordinary knight level, these Sarrandian horsemen had already shown that in terms of combat experience, they were stronger than these ordinary knights.
Just like Baron Dylan’s vassal knights.
If Kant had not noticed that something was wrong and ordered these Sarrandian horsemen to use their most basic strength to fight, he expected that these Sarrandian horsemen was able to defeat all the vassal knights during the tournament. After all, they were the newly upgraded Sarrandian horsemen who had gone through countless trials and tribulations in the Sarrandian Desert
Even if they lacked extraordinary power and could not contend with grand knights.
But according to these Sarrandian horsemen, five fully armed Mamlukes or 20 fully armed Sarrandian horsemen would be able to exhaust these grand knights to death.
At the very least, they could maintain balance.
This made the so-called grand knights not dare to recklessly charge forward.
The equipment advantage and experience advantage were obvious.
These horsemen were came from the continent of Caradia, and every level up was a qualitative improvement. Not only would they be instilled with all sorts of combat experience, skills in using weapons, as well as strengthening their physiques, even their willpower would increase.
If it really didn’t work, there was still a more effective way.
Let the level 5 archers all shoot in the same time.
A rain of arrows that covered a distance, they would be able to slow down the grand knight’s movements even if these grand knights were slightly injured.
After that, their next move would be much simpler.
Large formation warfare was the mainstream of the continent of Caradia. Fighting one-on-one like a competitive tournament was not the rule of the battlefield. If one could kill the enemy, they would be the victor, and the victor would receive everything, including praise.
This was Kant’s confidence in facing a grand knight.
Extraordinary power was indeed powerful.
But for Kant, who had the system and could recruit a batch of powerful troops at any time, using the large troops to overwhelm the opponent was perhaps a better choice. This was the advantage of large troops and also a guarantee of quality.
Furthermore, Kant’s troops were not random troops.
A level-4 cavalry was a “Knight”.
A level-5 cavalry was an “Elite Knight”.
Although they still could not reach the level of a grand knight, how many grand knights could there be in this world? Could it be that they could form a pure grand knight troop like ordinary cavalry?
Kant clearly did not believe it.
Such extravagant behavior was something that even Grand Duke Cameron of the Dukedom of Leo could not do!
According to Kant’s understanding in the books, grand knights could only be trained by other grand knight instructors. When it came to the seeds of the mysterious power, a grand knight instructor could only train five grand knights in his lifetime.
And for every grand knight that was trained, they would be in a period of weakness in the following year. The use of extraordinary power would become extremely weak, and they were no different from an ordinary knight. After training five grand knights, if one wanted to train the sixth, they would have to pay the price with their lives. Usually, there would be no grand knight mentor train more than two grand knights in their younger ages. Usually, when they were in their old age, they would train all five grand knights, at the last moment of their lives, they would enlighten the last grand knight.
This was exactly the reason why grand knights were so precious.
There were detailed records in the rare books in the academy.
They continued to follow the mountain path given by the system into the depths of the Senwaya Range. The heat wave from the Nahrin Desert had already dissipated quite a bit. Kant and the others could even feel a faint chill emanating from the mountain.
It was somewhat cool, as if it almost as cool as the Stone Pass.
At the same time, as they went deeper into the Senwaya Range.
The surrounding vegetation had also become richer, no longer as barren as the Nahrin Desert. The entire area had become lush green. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were close to the desert, Kant would have thought that this was the royal hunting ground in the north of the Castle of Leo, the Mountain of Leo where countless lions lived.
When he thought of the Mountain of Leo, Kant frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, be cautious.”
“Understood.”
The 30 Sarrandian horsemen behind him replied in unison.
In fact, they had also discovered that something was wrong with this mountain forest. Although it had the appearance of a lush forest, it was too quiet. Not to mention that they had not seen the sand gazelle, elk, and other herbivores, even rabbits, mountain rats, and other small animals were nowhere to be seen. If they raised their heads to look at the sky, it would take quite a while for a few unknown birds to fly past. The birds were like they were in a hurry and did not dare to stop and chirp on the branches.
Clearly, this was not right.
And something was very wrong!
“Harrumph…” the warhorse that was lead by the reins was shaking its nose and shaking its head anxiously. Its huge head was shaking, and it blinked its eyes and refused to move forward. Clearly, there was something to fear in the forest ahead, it had already been noticed by the sensitive warhorse.
“Pay attention.”, Kant’s voice was calm.
“Understood.”, the Sarrandian horsemen behind them released the reins one after another. They had shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands. After they dispersed, they looked forward with extreme vigilance in their eyes.
They were not worried that the warhorse would flee.
These warhorses were raised by the Sarrandian horsemen since they were young.
Even if they died in battle, these horses would still linger around the corpses.
To the cavalry, warhorse was not only a riding tool, but also a family member, a friend, and a trusted comrade. They had a long-term connection, and both sides had a tacit understanding.
“Roar –”
Just as they were getting ready, an angry roar suddenly erupted from the forest.
In the depths of a dense forest, a huge black figure squeezed through the sparse bushes. With a pair of scarlet eyes, it roared and rushed out of the forest. It seemed to be angered from not being able to ambush them, and it directly charged towards Kant and the others, it opened its mouth filled with terrifying fangs.
“Prepare for battle!”, the Sarrandian horsemen instantly spread their legs and bowed with their spears in their hands.
The thirty of them stood side by side, the tip of their spears aimed at the charging black beast.
The warhorses behind them seemed to have been frightened, and they all let out a loud snort and a rapid hiss. However, as the horsemen had yet to leave, they jumped around impatiently and did not follow their biological instincts to escape.
“Roar –”
However, when the black beast saw the restless warhorse, its eyes became even redder.
It let out an angry roar and rushed out of the dense forest at an even faster speed.
Obviously, it was already very hungry. It wanted to eat the fat and strong warhorse as its food!
“Demonized creature!”
Kant instantly recognized this black beast that looked like a black bear but was covered in black scales.
He took out the warhorse’s bow that Baron Dylan had given him. He pulled the bowstring and nocked the arrow. The entire bow was pulled into a full moon shape. As he released his fingers, it shot out the arrow instantly.
“Whoosh –”
The arrow tore through the air and let out a long shrill cry.
The black bear liked demonized creature did not dodge at all. The arrow carried powerful kinetic energy and went straight to its cheek. It splashed a pile of black blood, causing the demonized creature to feel pain and even let out an angry roar.
Clearly, this arrow did not cause any fatal damage.
Kant pulled out another arrow and nocked it on the bowstring and forcefully shoot it out.
“Whoosh –”
The mournful sound of the arrow continued.
The black bear liked demonized creature was shot in the chest, but even within a 30-meter radius, only a small part of the arrow shaft pierced into its body. The black bear liked demonized creature howling, it charged even faster, and the its eyes became even more red and furious!
Both sides were less than 10 meters apart.
The 30 Sarrandian horsemen bowed and lowered their weight.
Their spears were aimed directly at the demonized creature’s eyes, head, and chest, which were both vital parts. The spear was made of fine wood and iron-clad steel. It was not so easy to block. In terms of piercing damage, it was even stronger than a feather arrow!
“Roar –”
The demonized creature that looked like a black bear crashed towards them.
The phalanx of 30 Sarrandian horseman felt like they had encountered a heavy cavalry. A huge impact was transmitted to the spear in their hands along with the demonized creature’s charge. They utilized the impact transmitted to the spear and pierced the demonized creature into the eyes, mouth, and chest.
Just as the 30 Sarrandian horsemen retreated a few steps, and even someone at the front was knocked down, the 30 horsemen and the 30 spears in their hands actually managed to forcefully block the huge demonized creature.
“Roar –”
The scales on its chests were pierced through by the spear, its eyes were pierced through by the spear, and even its mouth were pierced through by two spears.
However, this black bear-like demonized creature was still roaring crazily, flapping its two huge palms. Black blood splattered all over its body, and it struggled to resist as if it had just returned from the afterlife.
“Whoosh –”
Kant’s movement was very fast and he pulled out the knight’s sword was pulled out of its scabbard.
Just like a standard knight’s stab, the slender knight’s sword in his hand directly pierced into the hole in its ear that was not protected by the scales, and directly into its brain.
As Kant’s wrist shook slightly.
The black bear-like demonized creature’s struggle weakened, and it fell down with a wail, twitching as it died.
