Facing the siege of numerous Knights, Wilch's face turned as dark as water.
"Dawn, Taylor!"
Wilch's voice was ice-cold, faintly saying, "Dare to betray me, and have you not considered the consequences?"
Dawn remained expressionless, his gaze unwavering.
Taylor hesitated but still tightened his grip on the cross sword in his hand.
"Give up, Father!"
Mohyn shook his head, saying solemnly, "You should be well aware of the current situation. Night Raven City is already under my control. Even if you continue to delay, no one will come to support you."
"Don't resist in vain. I can give you a dignified death!"
"Hahaha!"
Wilch burst into laughter, grimacing, "You think you can kill me? Let's see if you have the ability!"
Seeing this, Mohyn didn't say much.
The Knights surged forward again. Although Wilch was at a dead end, facing a high-level Knight, they didn't dare to be careless.
After all, the Stranded Beast's Struggle was exceptionally fierce!
Wilch loudly roared, wielding his battle axe like an enraged wild beast. A swing hit a Knight in the chest, sending him flying.
But precisely at that moment, Mohyn seized the opportunity to step forward.
Chi!
The cross sword pierced through Wilch's chest, adding to his already injured state. A look of pain appeared on his face, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Die, Father!"
Mohyn's face showed a sinister expression, swinging a short blade straight for Wilch's throat.
Whoosh!
Just as the short blade was about to pass Wilch's throat, a sudden swooshing sound echoed. An arrow shot from a distance.
Chi!
Mohyn's complexion changed; a sharp pain emanated from his chest. Lowering his head, he saw an arrow piercing through his heart.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.
"Sorry, I'm a bit late."
At this moment, Sauron walked out of the woods, speaking in a tranquil voice.
Shua!
Wilch grinned, seizing the opportunity to lift his battle axe.
"Unfilial son!"
He roared, ruthlessly bringing down his battle axe on Mohyn.
Bang!
As the battle axe descended, Mohyn's head exploded like a watermelon, and red blood mixed with white brain matter splattered out, glaringly vivid.
Seeing this scene, Sauron sighed inwardly.
Wilch showed no mercy when dealing with his own eldest son who betrayed him. The expression on his face while killing Mohyn was as if settling a deep-seated blood feud.
But it was understandable. With numerous heirs in Night Raven City, even though Mohyn was the most outstanding, betraying him meant Wilch wouldn't hold back.
Seeing Mohyn killed, the faces of Wilch's Knights became quite vivid.
"Attack together, kill him!"
Suddenly, Dawn yelled, rushing towards Wilch.
Several Knights woke up as if from a dream.
The situation had reached a point where they had no way out. If they couldn't take down Wilch, everyone would die.
"Just you guys?" Wilch said with a malicious smile.
The most troublesome Mohyn had already been dealt with. In Wilch's eyes, the remaining Knights were nothing more than a group of clay chickens and pottery dogs.
At the peak period, he could have easily killed them all with a single move. Even now, with serious injuries, it would only take a bit more time, especially with Lord Sauron of Night Raven City helping.
Wilch swung his battle axe, knocking a Knight flying.
Sauron bent his bow and swiftly shot several arrows, repelling the charging Knights and completely turning the situation around.
In a moment, only two Knights from the opposing side were left alive.
"Escape!"
Seeing the inevitable, Taylor's eyes flashed with a hint of despair. He turned and ran frantically, only to be shot by an arrow from Sauron from behind.
Soon, everything returned to calm.
Looking at the chaos and corpses around, Sauron sighed. The internal strife in Night Raven City was so brutal. After the recent battle, both Wilch's followers and Mohyn's men had almost all died.
"Cough, cough!"
After dealing with the last traitor, Wilch spat out a mouthful of blood, barely supporting his body on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, he was like an arrow at the end of its flight.
"We shouldn't stay here for long."
After a while, Wilch took a deep breath and said solemnly, "While Rother is not around, we must quickly return to Night Raven City!"
"Only by gathering a large army do we have a chance to deal with that lion!"
After saying that, Wilch was about to leave.
However, Sauron shook his head calmly. "Lord Wilch, there's no need to panic. In this world, there won't be another Knight like Rother."
"How is that possible..."
Wilch's face froze. However, immediately after, his pupils shrank, seemingly understanding something, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"You killed him?"
Sauron didn't deny it, saying softly, "Lord Wilch, let's leave. Night Raven City is probably not peaceful now, considering Mohyn dared to plan this rebellion."
Wilch's expression fluctuated.
"Alright!"
But soon, he nodded heavily. After experiencing Mohyn's betrayal, Wilch was eager to return to Night Raven City and take control.
Afterward, the two moved towards the outskirts of the forest.
Before long, they returned to Night Raven City. However, the city was in chaos, with those loyal to Wilch and Mohyn fighting each other.
From the surface, it was evident that Mohyn's forces had the upper hand.
"Father!"
At this moment, Viscount Hall rode over. Seeing that Wilch was still alive, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Then, he noticed Sauron beside him.
"You're still alive!?" Hall was startled, looking at the unscathed Sauron with some disbelief.
"Of course," Sauron said calmly.
"How is the situation in the city?"
Not wanting to waste time, Wilch quickly asked.
"Not good!" Hall's face looked grim, hesitatingly saying, "Many soldiers in the city have already joined Mohyn. Now, they are besieging the castle!"
"These traitors!"
Wilch's face darkened. Holding the battle axe in his hand, he walked towards the city. On the streets, soldiers of Night Raven City were killing each other.
"The fief lord is back!"
Seeing Wilch's return, the soldiers loyal to him cheered. On the other hand, Mohyn's men had their complexions greatly changed.
"Mohyn betrayed Night Raven City and has been personally killed by me!"
Wilch stood in place, loudly declaring, "Considering that you were bewitched by that unfilial son, put down your weapons now, and I may spare your lives!"
As he spoke, Wilch raised the battle axe in his hand.
Bang!
The hundred-pound heavy battle axe smashed onto the street, cracking the ground open. Witnessing this scene, the previously wavering rebel soldiers dropped their weapons one after another.
With Wilch's return, the situation in Night Raven City quickly stabilized.
