Standing on a flat ground, the surrounding warriors were fighting. In the center, Athir stood quietly, looking at Kadis opposite him.
A look of determination suddenly flashed across Fular's face beside him, and then he rushed forward without hesitation, apparently trying to buy time for Athir to take Elhua away.
Looking at this scene, on the opposite side, a trace of fluctuation flashed in Kadis's eyes, and his body shook slightly, but he did not rush forward in the end.
Beside him, a black-armored knight who had been silent until then suddenly stepped forward, and the long sword in his hand went towards Flar, entangled with him.
His sword moves were strong and powerful, and every time he swung the sword, a heavy sword sound was emitted. For a moment, he kept repelling Fral in front of him. It turned out that he was also a top knight master.
"Now, there are only two of us left."
Looking at Fular who was entangled and gradually falling into a disadvantage, Kadis sighed in his heart, then turned to look at Athir in front of him, and Elhua standing behind him.
On his body, faint white fighting spirit emerged. Although it was still a little faint, his identity as a great knight was clearly visible, enough to look down on the whole audience.
Looking at this scene, Elhua felt despair in his heart and fear in his eyes.
Great Knight, there are not many strong men of this level in any kingdom.
If a knight is strong enough to protect an area and suppress a territory, then a great knight is a strong man who is capable of carrying out a small battle on his own. Unless he is restrained by a strong man of the same level, or is surrounded by a large number of warriors from the front, he cannot be threatened at all.
In the entire North, there were originally only two great knights, Arcadilla, who was known as the First Knight, and Count Boria himself, and now another one has appeared here.
Looking at Athir in front of him, Kadis didn't say any more nonsense. He just stepped forward and swung his sword, which was wrapped with pale fighting spirit, and stabbed at Athir fiercely.
This was an attack that the great knight used almost all of his strength, and he had already utilized the power of the knight's secret skills. An ordinary knight would not be able to block it at all, and would only end up either dead or injured.
Looking at the attack in front of him, Athir stood quietly in place, still looking at Kadis calmly, as if he didn't notice the powerful attack in front of him.
"Athir!!!" Behind him, looking at the scene in front of him, Elhua shouted instinctively and looked at this scene with some fear.
Before he finished speaking, a sword light suddenly appeared.
The silver fighting spirit glowed suddenly, leaving dozens of sword marks in an instant, and rushed forward fiercely, colliding with the attack of Kadis in front of him.
Yinhua!!!
Silver lights kept flashing here, and a fighting spirit far stronger than that of Kadis himself gushed out, blocking his attack.
"You!!!" Kadis's face was filled with horror, and he was shocked when he saw Athir suddenly appearing in front of him.
Bang!!!
The sound of long swords colliding rang out at this moment. Two powerful knight secret skills collided at this moment. The different fighting spirits contained in them collided with each other and exploded before their eyes.
The two forces collided head-on, and the stronger one was decided in an instant.
Kadis suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and several new wounds appeared on his body instantly. He flew backwards quickly and hit a wall five or six meters away.
As a great knight, he had a strong vitality. Even after suffering such a heavy blow, he still struggled to get up, looking at Athir in horror, his eyes full of disbelief.
At this moment, the sight of everyone present was almost frozen. Everyone's eyes were focused forward, staring closely at the young man, their eyes full of shock.
In front of Elhua, a figure was still standing there quietly, with a calm expression on his face. Even though he was being stared at by everyone present, he did not show any movement at all.
And on his body, wisps of light silver fighting spirit quietly sank and floated outside his body, foreshadowing that kind of power.
"Athir...you...you are the great knight?"
Behind Athir, watching the scene in front of him and feeling the light silver fighting spirit rising and falling on his body, Elhua spoke with shock on his face and stammered.
The scene before him had a really big impact on him.
In just one day, Elhua felt that everything in the past had been turned upside down.
The castle that had been peaceful for decades suddenly erupted into chaos, and his powerful father disappeared without a trace, looking very dangerous. Now even his friend from childhood seemed to have changed into a different person, suddenly becoming a great knight.
All this made Elhua confused, and he felt as if he had had a terrible nightmare.
In front of him, Athir did not stop.
He held the sword in his right hand, took a step forward, and swung the sword directly in the direction of Fular.
Light silver fighting spirit condensed on the sword, and with this swing it solidified into real sword energy, rushing forward fiercely.
Seven or eight meters away, the black-armored knight who was fighting with Flar suddenly felt a terrible sense of crisis surging from the bottom of his heart, causing him to stop what he was doing.
The sound of swords rang in my ears, and whistling vibrations could be heard from time to time.
Feeling all this, he took a deep breath, took a step back, and then swung the sword in his hand forward fiercely.
The life energy in his body gushed out rapidly, dyeing the sword in his hand a light green color, and collided fiercely with the condensed sword energy of Dou Qi, offsetting the sword.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fular broke free from the entanglement of the knight in front of him, quickly retreated, stood beside Elhua, and looked at Athir in front of him with complicated eyes.
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
Athir suddenly turned around, looked at a corner and spoke.
While speaking, Dan Yin's fighting spirit condensed again and rushed directly towards that corner.
Crack!!!
There was a slight collision sound suddenly coming from the front, where the fighting spirit that Athir had waved out was directly dispersed and turned into a faint silver light and disappeared.
A tall figure suddenly appeared from the corner, also holding a black sword in his hand, but the style was slightly different from the one in Athir's hand.
This is Arcadilla, who is wearing pale white armor. His handsome and cheerful face is now filled with a hint of doubt: "How did you find out?"
"Of course I saw it with my eyes."
Looking at the figure appearing in front of him, Atier's eyes narrowed, his facial expression remained unchanged, he just spoke calmly.
Of course this is a lie.
Akadila hid very well, as if he had used some special techniques, and there was no trace of his aura on his body. Even Athir didn't notice anything at this time.
The reason why he was able to detect the other party was actually because of the chip in his mind, but of course he couldn't explain this in detail to the other party.
Akadilla naturally didn't believe this explanation.
But he had just asked casually, and didn't ask any more questions at this time. He just looked at Athir who was standing in the distance with a serious look.
He had seen the opponent's previous outburst and the fierce and powerful silver-silver fighting spirit, and had already estimated the opponent's strength in his mind.
This wasn't a barely promoted great knight like Kadis, but a real great knight. Considering his age, it was truly astonishing.
"Arcadela, you betrayed me too!!"
Behind Athir, Fular looked at Arcadilla in the distance, with strong anger in his eyes: "Lord Boria is not mean to you, why do you do this?"
"Not mean?" Across from him, Arcadilla sneered as he listened to Fular's words: "Really?"
"Flar, you are different from me."
He looked at Flar in front of him coldly: "Although your last name is not Fakus, your mother and your wife are all from the Fakus family. Of course, they are family members to Bolia."
"And what about me?" He pointed at himself with his backhand, the sneer on his face becoming more and more obvious: "My ancestor was once a marquis. Although he is down and out now, his status is no worse than others."
"As a great knight, I personally established the Black Knights. How much did I do to help Boria? And how much territory did I get in the end?"
"After all, there are too many people in the Fakus family. They have completely divided up the territory in the north. There is no room for outsiders to interfere."
At this point, his expression became calm and peaceful: "If that's the case, why can't I go and get back what belongs to me?"
"What he refused to give me, I took with my sword!"
"You!!" Fular's face suddenly turned pale.
What the other party said is indeed true.
Fakus' rule in the North is too overbearing. If there are nobles who do not have the blood of the Fakus family, they will be suppressed invisibly.
This practice reached its peak during the reign of Count Polya. During the decades of his rule, a large number of nobles from other families declined and were suppressed by him with harsh means.
After all, during the nearly 100 years that the Fakus family ruled the North, the rebellions of those foreign nobles had never stopped, but they had never been so tragic. Even Arcadilla, the first knight in the North, took the lead in the rebellion.
"Lord Arcadilla..."
Behind Athir, Elhua looked at Arcadilla in the distance in disbelief.
He had always regarded the North's No. 1 Knight as his idol, but he never expected that this time, his idol would stand against him and take the lead in rebelling.
"Athir."
In front, Arcadilla didn't care about other people's reactions. He just looked at Athir in front of him with complicated and solemn eyes: "You really surprised me. In the history of the Kingdom of Arieu, it is said that the fastest person to be promoted to Grand Knight was the former legendary King Awayad. He was promoted to Grand Knight at the age of fifteen, two years later than you."
"Unfortunately, if you were not from the Fakus family, I would definitely find a way to make you surrender."
He spoke with admiration at first, but then his tone suddenly changed and became a little stern: "By the way, I have good news to tell you. Your father, Baron Esilan, was killed in battle not long ago. He died at my hands!!"
After saying this, he looked up and looked forward, staring at Athir's face with cold eyes.
However, Athir did not show the expected anger and irrationality. His face was calm, and he was only stunned for a moment even after hearing the bad news.
What he didn't know was that, for Athir, he had no feelings for the so-called father in this world at all. Not to mention hearing the news of his death, he might not be moved even if the other person died in front of him.
Akadilla believed that as a member of the Fakus family, he would never surrender to these rebels, but in fact, if he had tried to persuade Athir to rebel before, then Athir might really agree.
After all, judging from the current situation, Arcadilla and his men were coming with great force, and it was unknown how many forces were supporting them. It was very likely that Count Boria's side was no match for them. So for Athir, in order to avoid danger, there was no psychological pressure to choose to join the rebel side.
But now, it's too late.
His "biological father" was killed by the other party. Even if he was willing to surrender now, the other party would never dare to accept him as such a powerful enemy. He could only go down this path until the end.
