178 Attack on Fort Badajoz
The Knight of Svadia is the honorary title of the King's Guard directly under the Kingdom of Andalusia, except for the King's Guard, the other Chaos Human Lords and nobles of the Andalusian Kingdom are not qualified to name their private army 'Svadia'.
Svadia is the honor of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Andalusia!
Of course, in addition to Harlaus's personal guard called Swadia Knights, the Chaos Human Quasi-Knights who directly belong to Haraus are called Swadia Soldiers.
The ordinary Chaos Human Warriors who belonged only to Harauth were called Svadian Cavalry or Swadian Infantry.
The difference is whether or not there is a demonized war horse as a mount.
The number of troops directly under the royal family is undoubtedly the largest, and the combat effectiveness is also the strongest, so the Svadian army is naturally the most powerful armed force in the Kingdom of Andalusia.
Of course, even if it is Harlaus's troops, only the Chaos Humans directly under them are eligible to be named the honorary title of Svadia, and the ordinary Chaos Orc Legion subordinate to Haraus does not have the honorary title of Svadia.
In fact, aside from the name Svadia, Harlaus's royal guards were not much different from the private armies of the Chaos Human Lords and nobles.
When the Swadian knights went to the battlefield, they did not kill the enemy alone, but they all led a large number of demonized gnolls under their command to charge and escort.
Not much different from the private knights of other Chaos Human Nobles.
It's just that due to the influence of Haraus, the Swadia knights often do not charge with their own demonized gnolls, but drive the demonized gnolls to charge first, and then the Svadia knights will deliver a fatal blow when the battle is favorable.
If the battle is on the losing hand, or if there is no chance for the Swadia knight to charge, the Swadia knight would rather watch the demonized gnolls die than attack......
The tactics of the other Swadia sergeants and Swadia infantry were the same, and it was thanks to this that Haraus was able to maintain the majority of the strength of the main Swadia army in a duel with more defeats and fewer victories.
Demonized gnolls can be caught again when they die, anyway, this kind of demonized creature has stronger fecundity than humans, and they are all litters of cubs, otherwise it will not become a combat servant commonly used by chaotic humans.
But if the Chaos Humans die in battle, it will be difficult to replenish it!
It takes at least ten years to cultivate a Chaos Human warrior by relying on the Chaos Human Race to be born on its own, and relying on rituals to baptize ordinary people to achieve the Chaos Human Race, and the resources consumed are too huge.
Baptizing one or two Chaos Humans may be nothing, but baptizing hundreds or thousands of Chaos Humans will even bankrupt King Harlaus!
Therefore, the Chaos Humans are the foundation of the Chaos Human Lords and Kings, and they are more precious than the Chaos Orcs!
After all, it is almost impossible for Chaos Orcs to break through to the 5th Order, but Chaos Humans can break through to the 5th Order through a long period of cultivation and battle!
In terms of cultivation talent, Chaos Humans are much higher than ordinary people!
If it weren't for the fact that the number of Chaos Humans was too small to form, they would have replaced the ordinary people on the Obaro continent long ago.
After all, if the baby of the Chaos Humans is not tempered in a cruel way, even if they grow up, they will not become real Chaos Humans, and the Chaos Human Babies who grow up in a comfortable environment are at most a physically strong mortal.
This is also the reason why the chaotic humans would rather sit back and watch their children be trained to death under the cruel elimination rate, rather than change the way, of course, there are elements of the chaotic humans who are naturally cold-blooded and ruthless, but more because this is the path that the chaotic humans must walk to grow up!
If you are reduced to an ordinary person, you will be exploited all day long, just like those white natives, not to mention, the children born in the future will also have to bear the blood tax!
The realm of Chaos Humanity will not nurture waste mortals, including royal bloodlines!
If there is not even a fifth-order existence in the bloodline of the Lord of a country in the Obaro Continent, the Chaos Human Lord Grand Noble below will have a chance to compete for the throne!
The Kingdom of Granada has not elected a king so far, because the previous generation of kings couldn't bear to watch their children die in cruel training, and as a result, when the older generation of kings died, not a single fifth-order chaos human in the bloodline was born, and it automatically lost the legitimacy of the inheritance!
The Chaos Human Realm, which follows the law of the jungle and the strong, will not recognize a weak person as a king!
Tier 5 is the bottom limit of the Lord of a Kingdom!
Only by raising their own level high enough will the remaining children have better cultivation talents and survive the brutal growth training.
After the armistice between the kingdoms of Andalusia, Casti, and Aragon, King Haraus had already advanced towards Badajoz with a large army.
However, with the speed of the medieval march of the Kingdom of Andalusia, it will take a lot of time to reach Badajoz Castle.
Of course, King Haraus is confident that Badajoth Castle will hold out until his reinforcements arrive, because Badajoz is a veritable demonic castle!
On February 25, 1888, after five days of construction, the French line infantry besieging the castle of Badajoz finally cast hundreds of one-off siege towers.
Immediately after that, the overwhelming siege battle began!
When the horns of the French line infantry sounded, the war drums in the castle of Badajoz were also beaten.
Groups of demonic gnolls archers had been prepared for a long time to climb the walls, leaning through the gaps in the battlements to look out at the army below.
The walls of the Demonic Castle were as smooth as new, impossible to climb at all, obviously not 'washed' by humans, and the smooth surface was spikes that seemed to be fixed.
At the sound of the war drums, the spikes on the wall wriggled like living creatures and retracted into the stone wall, leaving only a smooth wall!
The walls of the Demonized Castle have a faint black glow, and I don't know what it is used for......
At regular intervals, there is a semicircular protrusion on the wall of Badajoz, which has a high pedestal in the center of the platform, which is strangely empty......
However, as the French line infantry pushed the siege tower carts forward, groups of Chaos Orcs had already arrived on these semicircular protruding platforms, standing at the base above the battlements.
The officers of the French Line Infantry who had never seen the Chaos Human Demon Castle did not take this scene to heart, and in the eyes of the French Line Infantry, the Demon Gnoll archers hiding behind the battlements were more threatening.
Chaos humans like to charge hand-to-hand combat, and all of them are proficient in combat skills, but they scoff at weapons such as bows and crossbows (mainly because they are not good at it), so in the army of chaos humans, long-range weapons are almost always shot by demonized creatures that are controlled.
