Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 529: Adrian’s Choice

It was too easy to capture the north city gate.

Baheshtur pondered for a long time before answering Kant’s question, “Lord, I thought about it and couldn’t come up with a reason. The situation at the north city gate has completely exceeded my expectations.”

At this moment, Baheshtur also came to a realization from his contempt for the garrison troops at the north city gate.

His war plan was strict and comprehensive.

If there was a link that was too different from the plan in the war plan, it meant that there must be something that he did not detect that had affected or interfered with this war.

Baheshtur, as the person who made and carried out the war plan, his vision could not be limited to one victory at a time.

He needed to see the overall situation.

“It seems like my lord, and I are still very far apart.”

Baheshtur could not help but think so.

When he did not discover anything wrong with the battle at the north city gate, Kant had already keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Kant indeed had some doubts.

Baheshtur’s answer had solved a doubt in his heart.

That was the reason why Baheshtur had not suffered any losses in the battle at the north city gate, but he had not received the system’s comment of an epic victory or a legendary victory.

The enemy had retreated very cleanly, without much loss.

Baheshtur had practically seized the north city gate as easy as pie. The main reason his victory was more because the enemy had retreated on their own initiative, not because of his plan had succeeded to wipe out a large number of the enemy after an intense battle while he only suffered minor losses in battle.

Kant looked towards the eastern district.

The Eastern District was the noble district. There were small manors that divided the Eastern District. In those small manors, villa-like buildings could be seen in the small manors.

Kant understood that in each manor, there were some private noble soldiers, and they were all absolute elites. The most were in the hundreds, and the least were in the tens.

The noble who could own a small manor in Lionheart City and settle there were all powerful and well-established nobles. They were the true upper-class noble of the Dukedom of Leo.

Although there were only about a hundred of these manors, their combined power was much stronger than the 15,000 heavy cavalries in Seria Castle.

Kant frowned slightly. Whether it was Baheshtur or his plan to conquer Lionheart City, although they were wary of the power of these noble families, they did not treat them as a real obstacle.

Noble families valued benefits.

Kant and Baheshtur understood this point.

They would not use their family’s elites or even the most elite part of their power to fight Kant for no reason. This was not in their interests.

Even if Kant took over Lionheart City, in their eyes, it would not have any effect.

Because no matter who took over Lion City, it was not in their hands. It did not have much to do with them.

But now, it seemed that the noble district was somewhat different from what they had expected.

The forces that were supposed to support the noble district at the north city gate did not appear.

Kant sank his thoughts into the depths of his mind.

Ten golden cards floated in the air.

Kant had planned to use them tomorrow to summon the 500 level 6 troop class soldiers and mages with extraordinary powers.

Tomorrow was the first day of the new week. This way, he could save tens of thousands of denars.

As for the attack on the west city gate, Kant planned it on tomorrow.

Today’s time was arranged to seize the east city gate, as well as the nobles in the noble district.

But now, the reaction of the noble district was very different from what he and Baheshtur had expected.

Kant had always thought that the extraordinary power the system gave him was used to deal with the War Temple in the Western District. He had long excluded the noble district and the Association of Mages.

But now, Kant suddenly realized.

There was a very high possibility that he had actually underestimated the power of the nobles.

Although he had always understood that the power of the noble was only on the surface, and what was displayed was always the tip of the iceberg. Most of the powerful power was hidden in the dark as a foundation.

But, to easily defeat the noble in the North County and East County, Kant had really neglected the power of the noble.

It was true that the War Temple was very powerful.

The War Temple in Lionheart City alone, as the number one shrine of the god of war, was extremely powerful.

There were more than a hundred priests, three or more troop classes, and even the weakest members of each troop class were official knights.

They were absolutely powerful.

If Kant wasn’t confident that his troop class could completely suppress the official knight troops, and he had an absolute advantage in terms of extraordinary power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought about invading Lionheart City.

However, Kant had unintentionally overlooked one point.

Kant understood that, from the perspective of the entire Dukedom of Leo, the power of the nobles was stronger the War Temple.

However, he had overlooked that the nobles in Lionheart City might be stronger than the War Temple as well.

Status always came from power.

Among the human race, the noble was above the many sects that had true gods.

This absolutely proved that the power of the noble was stronger than these sects.

Kant revealed a bitter smile.

He claimed to be a noble and understood the noble.

But now that he thought about it, even though he was the second son of Cameron, Grand Duke of Leo, and his mother was the princess of the Silver Platter Kingdom, but did he really understand his father and his mother?

When he was born, his mother had already died.

Kant did not believe that such a noble would die of illness after giving birth to him.

All the nobles Kant saw possessed power.

A mere Baron Dylan, a baron at the very edge, was a powerful grand knight.

Viscount Gibran even controlled the demonic power.

Kant now recalled that the few times he met his father gave him an extremely heavy sense of oppression.

That was also the only time he saw his father.

Kant’s eyes could not help but reveal a trace of confusion.

Did he really understand the noble families of this world?

He was the second son of Cameron, the ruler of the Dukedom of Leo, but he grew up in the North District of Lionheart City, which was the civilian district of Lionheart City.

He only had an extremely vague image of his “real home’, Lion Fort.

That was when he was very young.

He heard that he had a brother.

Yes, he heard about it.

What was his brother’s name? He didn’t know. What did he look like? He didn’t know.

Kant withdrew his gaze from the noble district.

The East District was the noble district.

The powerful Association of Mages relied on the noble district to not be chased out of Lionheart City by the War Temple, which was extremely hostile to them.

Kant’s eyes gradually became firm.

No matter what was in the noble district, he had to see it for himself.

The current him had already become a strong force.

He was not the youth who could be banished and had nothing left.
