The intense pain caused the knight’s face to turn ferocious, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
However, he did not dare to act rashly. He covered the tip of his nose that was in intense pain and did not even care about the tip of his nose that had fallen to the ground. He quickly urged his warhorse to walk towards his companions at the back. His anger had already gone to his head.
As the lord knight of the Silver Platter Kingdom, he had never experienced such humiliation.
And now his nose had been cut off.
In the future, he would definitely become a laughingstock in the silver platter kingdom!
Not to mention those noble families, not to mention the other knights, even those lowly commoners and even lowly slaves would talk about him behind his back. A knight without a nose did not have any dignity at all!
He covered his nose while enduring the pain, he shouted out his anger almost to the point of roaring.
At the same time, he claimed that Kant’s side only had this small number of troops, there was nothing to be afraid of.
The thousand-man strong army from the Silver Platter Kingdom did not continue to move.
Even the water bandits of the Resniston River were ordered by the commander of the knights of the Silver Platter Kingdom to stand by and not to launch an attack because of the precious treasures in front of them.
The knight commander was already fearful of the fact that they were only 1,000 meters away from each other.
He was not ignorant.
In front of them, that terrifying heavy cavalry group looked like an elite force.
They were different from the main force of the Dukedom of Leo!
It was an order of knight formed by the real knights, not a knight group formed by regular knights and knight attendants. Although it was a long story, it had always been a nightmare for the silver platter kingdom.
When fighting on the plains, the elite long-lance soldiers of the Silver Platter Kingdom had to be cautious of this order of knight.
If they were being careless for even a moment, the front line would be broken, and the entire army would be wiped out.
This was not an alarmist rumor, it was the truth!
The intense conflict between the two countries ten years ago had already made it clear.
The former Silver Platter Kingdom had crushed the defense line of the Dukedom of Leo on the south bank of the Resniston River. However, in the wild, they were attacked by the reinforcements of the order of knight. The knights only revealed a small flaw, which led to their defeat.
That defeat ultimately led to the current situation, which was the battle where Baron Dylan was conferred the title.
The heavy cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo had left a deep impression on the troops of the Silver Platter Kingdom.
This also led to the current situation.
The Silver Platter Kingdom had always been on guard against the cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo.
Especially when their own cavalry was lacking in strength and could not do anything to the various orders of knight formed by the noble members of the Dukedom of Leo, they needed to be extremely cautious. Once their own troops were slightly impacted, then the following attacks from the knights and cavalries of Dukedom of Leo would completely crush their troops.
In the field, without the support of the infantrymen, the cavalry of the Silver Platter Kingdom would not be able to cause much damage to the elite cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo. Instead, they would be defeated and lose the important cavalry force in the battlefield.
This was also the reality. Even though the Silver Platter Kingdom had focused on the cavalry that they had built for ten years, it was still the same.
Now, he was facing the even stronger Kant’s cavalry troops.
He was a little afraid.
As the knight commander of Nazaire Castle, he was one of Baron Taylor’s confidants.
During this expedition, he had taken the risk to enter the territory of the Dukedom of Leo. Together with the infamous Resniston River Water Bandits, attacking the noble of the Dukedom of Leo in name, as well as being a member of the royal family, he had already been under a lot of pressure.
If they won, they would erase all traces, and they would be able to deny it even if they were exposed afterward.
But if they were defeated and leave behind as captives, then all of this would not be resolved easily.
Instead, it would be a huge problem. Even he, Baron Taylor’s most trusted knight commander and one of the most powerful knights in Nazaire Castle, would have to commit suicide to redeem the lost honor and bad influence.
Of course, what was salvaged was not the fact that he had entered the Dukedom of Leo without permission and attacked the noble.
It was the despicable act of colluding with the Resniston River Water Bandits!
It did not matter how ugly were the wars between the noble families.
However, there was an unspoken rule.
He absolutely could not be involved with those dirty water bandits or any other bandits.
Although behind the scenes, the noble families would always raise such a group of thugs to deal with some shady matters, it was absolutely not something that could be put on the surface because it would ruin the honor of the noble families.
As a noble with dignity, they would always be graceful and elegant under the sun. How could there be any shady things about them?
A noble would never have such a thing!
If there was, it would definitely be a slander of their reputation!
This knight commander could imagine that even if he did not want to die, the trusted him had to die for Baron Taylor and his family. He had to use his own death to wash away this kind of slander.
Although he had indeed done it, if he died and no one admitted it, it was not his doing.
The unspoken rules of the noble were an excuse!
Hence, he was hesitated.
The knight commander, who was in the lead, could not make a decision.
The knight whose nose had been cut off and who was still in pain being bandaged by the attendant next to him roared in anger, saying that he wanted to use the death of the other party to redeem his lost honor.
The scene was a little dull, with only the elite lance soldiers on both sides, as well as the knights and their attendants breathing heavily.
They were also unable to make a decision at the moment.
“A bunch of cowards!”
Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded.
The knight commander looked back and saw that it was a group of water bandits wearing mail armor and holding a longsword or handaxe.
These were the elites of five groups of Resniston River Water Bandits. They were all veteran soldiers who had escaped, escaped slaves in the Wildland, or criminals who had committed murder. Their unique characteristic was that their methods were cruel, and their combat ability was superb.
There were close to 2,000 of them. They were a group of thugs who killed without batting an eyelid!
“Shut up.” the knight commander’s face was gloomy.
He swept his gaze across the five water bandit leaders and reprimanded them in a deep voice, “What do you know? Despicable things! The troops of Baron Kant in front of us are a group of elite cavalries. Do you think you can be enemies?”
“Huh? Are you teaching us a lesson?”
The water bandit leaders laughed out loud, their faces filled with ridicule, “A bunch of cowards. We are not those little brats under your command. If someone offends us, we will let him know what cruelty is!” The water bandit leaders laughed ferociously, “Including that Baron Kant that you are afraid of!”
“Ignorant.” the knight commander snorted coldly. Although he looked down on these water bandits, he also knew that in fact, in this battle, it was them who cooperated with these water bandits, and not the water bandits who cooperated with him.
Both sides were not subordinate to each other.
