Chapter 435: After the War

The chaos that affected the entire East County did not last long.

In fact, Kant also did not notice the so-called chaos. This was probably because the noble families were still afraid of him and did not dare to come and create trouble for him. They did not even have the intention to communicate with him.

​ 

Kant was still stationed at Mountain of Death, including the elite troops that had just won the battle a few days ago.

After a simple rest, he had recovered his fighting strength.

Not to mention the few noble families in the East County, even if the entire East County was united, they probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to Kant. Especially after knowing that the Crimson Sect had been massacred so miserably, no one dared to rashly provoke Kant.

Everyone was afraid of death, but to seek death for no reason was a foolish act. No one was a fool.

At the Mountain of Death.

Kant was still stationed at the foot of the mountain.

Tents of all sizes had been set up, and desert bandits were scattered everywhere. They fiercely swept across the surrounding plains, and any trade caravan or pedestrian who tried to pass by would be expelled.

If it was those who wanted to use their identity to force their way in, a round of pilums would be thrown to warn them.

If they still didn’t listen, Sarrandian Horseman who charged on horseback would teach them a lesson.

However, no one dared to come to Mountain of Death so easily, especially after the news of the massacre here spread throughout the East County and indirectly spread to the surrounding counties. For those who were well-informed, they were not dared to continue coming.

Although no one knew about the Crimson Sect, everyone knew about Gibran, the famous general of the East County.

Even the Viscount Gibran was defeated tragically, the others were definitely terrified by Kant!

Although Gibran was known as the famous general of the East County, his prestige in the Dukedom of Leo was also very high.

He was once the reputation of protecting the East County, but now he had become Kant’s steppingstone. From the high and mighty Viscount of the famous general, he had become an evil cult member who had died tragically after being defeated.

Even Avilis Castle had become a chaotic place. It was no longer peaceful and stable.

The knights swept up all the treasures in the castle and fled.

They went to seek refuge with other noble families.

Some of the knight attendants followed them, some went to find their own families, and some became mercenaries.

Even the infantrymen picked up the things that the knights disdained, wrapped them up, and left in groups of three or five. If there were any who stayed, they went to seek refuge. If not, they either became mercenaries or bandits.

The villages near Avilis Castle were all looted, and they were all committed by people they knew.

This led to the villagers fleeing.

The entire area became desolate.

No one dared to continue living there, especially when someone said that Kant’s troops would continue to slaughter them. As long as they had two legs and did not want to die, they began to flee towards the North County or South County.

As for the other places in the East County, apart from those who had backing, no one dared to continue to seek refuge.

This was a matter of life and death.

They were all smart people.

They knew that the lord of Avilis Castle, Gibran, had offended Kant.

If this baron really wanted to investigate to the end, those nobles who had started to protect themselves but did not dare to oppose Kant would eventually make peace with Kant as a symbol of friendship.

As long as it was for benefits, or a so-called line of profit, the greedy noble would not care about the lives of others.

But they were obviously thinking too much.

Kant did not send troops to massacre the vicinity of Avilis Castle.

He was still stationed at Mountain of Death. The most important reason was that the treasures looted from the temple could not be transported back in a short period of time. After all, they were troops, not transport squads.

The messengers formed by the desert bandits had already sped toward the Nordic village at the mouth of the river.

The order was to organize a group of carriages to transport the goods.

Counting the time, it was about time to return.

The Nordic village that Kant had named [ Wercheg ] had already been built.

From the “Aaron” City, the Rhodok people were constantly transporting all kinds of goods through the ancient passage. With the help of the water bandits, they had taken over the river mouth of Resniston River in the shortest amount of time.

After repelling the water bandits of the Resniston River a few times, this place was basically safe.

It became a new outpost base.

At the same time, under Rolf’s supervision, it was still being built quickly.

From the village to the military-type fortress, it probably wouldn’t take too long.

If it was as expected, when Kant led his troops back, the Nordic fortress would appear in front of them, and the Nord warriors could also be quickly formed through recruitment and training.

Including the water bandits and the corresponding paddle boats, the Nords could attack all parts of the river!

With the control over the river and the Nords, it was equal to an unlimited chance of attack!

The Nords liked to do business and liked to fight, especially plundering in the enemy’s camp. This was their hobby, which was why outsiders called the Nords brutal.

They had brains, but sometimes, they preferred to use the battle axe in their hands!

They had confirmed the location of outpost in the East County.

They had also infiltrated the North County.

Next, it would be the South County by the Resniston River, the estate directly under the royal family.

It was also the most elite place in the Dukedom of Leo. Not only the royal family, but the big noble families also had a lot of resources. Just looked at the bloody battle with the Silver Platter Kingdom ten years ago. The South County of Leo had fallen into a disadvantage.

Although the battle was disadvantageous, in fact, the Dukedom of Leo was still tried to fight the enemies at the country’s gate.

The battlefield was located on the south bank of the Resniston River.

There were two castles in the South County. After being taken down one after another, the troops of the South County directly defeated the main force of the Silver Platter Kingdom on the south bank of the Resniston River. They obtained the final victory, causing the other battlefields to turn defeat into victory.

The victory of the East County had also come one after another.

In fact, even the title of Baron Dylan was obtained through bloody battles during this war.

The Dukedom of Leo, which had obtained the final victory, had not lost the two castles of the South County on the south bank of the Resniston River. Instead, they were still in their own hands. In the past ten years, they had built them even taller and sturdier.

Unfortunately, one of the castles on the south bank of the river was ceded.

It was used as compensation for the battle.

This was the direct source of the conflict between the Dukedom of Leo and the East County.

However, it did not matter to Kant. His power had already extended here. It did not mean that the Dukedom of Leo had lost more, but Kant, the second-in-line heir of the Dukedom of Leo, could bring more to the Dukedom of Leo!

As long as he could obtain the title of Grand Duke and gain the support and recognition of the human countries.
