The opponents were not foolish, they were well aware of what happened in Leshen. Although the details were covered by the followers of Radiant Hall, it was not hard to know how many died and the level of fight that broke out there.
A peak-level Master Knight with a Radiant bloodline, they were rare but very dangerous. Some of them had been able to face archmages on their own and throughout history, there had been some irregularities from the Hall of Radiance where a Master level has successfully hunted an archmage.
It was only in recent days that some other bloodlines were able to recreate such a feat hunting wizards, but only by depending on the modern weapons enchanted by magic. Few in master level can ever hope to face an Archmage, which not only is a realm above them, but they holds an advantage with the varied amount of magic they hold, with only a sword.
