God's Punishment?

"My lord, our men have charged across!" At the same time, the captains and commanders of the Northern Principality on the opposite bank finally let out long breaths of relief.

Though they had suffered some losses due to underestimating their enemy, the outcome was still fairly good.

More importantly, they would have a chance to obtain the Onyx Principality's secret weapon.

As long as they acquired a sample of this secret weapon, they could bring it back for the craftsmen to replicate. The merit for such an achievement would certainly not be small.

"Cort, there are at least four or five Title Knights on the other side. Once our guards secure their riverbank, you and the other captains are to cross on the rafts immediately. Besides dealing with those Title Knights, seize that secret weapon at once. We absolutely cannot let the Onyx Principality destroy it themselves!" Hake ordered Deputy Commander Cort and the captains with a smile.

Although this army was not an extraordinary knight corps, the commander and several captain-level officers holding the line all possessed Battle Qi.

Commander Hake himself was a mid-stage Silver Knight. Deputy Commander Cort was an early-stage Silver Knight, while the other thousand-man captains were all peak Bronze Knights.

"Yes, Commander!" The captains responded in unison.

Next, under the watchful eyes of the Northern Principality's commanders, the second and third waves of guards were ferried across.

With the support of these two waves, numbering nearly a thousand men, the Northern Principality guards on the opposite bank instantly reached more than fifteen hundred. They were already forcing the Tulip Family guards back step by step, while surplus Northern Principality guards attempted to circle behind the stone bridge and launch a pincer attack against Nalant's main force.

Fortunately, Nalant's dozen-odd Storm Knights were no pushovers.
