Chapter 11: Approaching The Castle

“Gerrard, this is not the time to joke around. Isn’t that small town only left with 30 to 40 guards and a group of old, weak, and disabled militia? Where can they find hundreds of knights?

“They really have courage. I haven’t even gone to look for trouble with them, yet they have come to look for trouble with me instead.”

Owen lifted his pants first. Seeing the young dancer still crying on the dining table, he kicked her aside in frustration.

Owen believed that the head knight would not be so stupid to make such a joke at such a time.

The Karev family could only afford 20 bronze knights and dozens of apprentice knights. The total number of formal knights in the nearby Ferol City was only about 100.

“Master, it’s true. The new mayor has brought them to the gate of our castle. And those 100 knights don’t look like bronze knights. They’re silver knights. If you don’t go out now, they’ll attack us immediately!”

“Silver Knights?! That’s impossible! Gerrard, if you’re lying to me, you’re finished!”

Even if Owen did not believe that a 100-man-strong Silver Knight Contingent would appear in a broken town, he had to wear his clothes and go out to have a look.

——

Outside the castle of the Karev family.

Ian followed Su Chen to the gate of the castle in a daze.

He looked at the 100 knights who were in a neat formation behind him. Their armor was shining in the sunlight.

The sentries on the castle wall looked at this strange formation nervously. On the surface, no one in their castle could resist this formation.

Everything seemed so surreal. Their dozens of guards were huddled together in front of them. They were defeated by regular knights immediately.

Yesterday afternoon, when they woke up and came to eat, they discussed the matter of attacking the Karev family today.

Ian felt that even with Su Chen, a two-element mage, their recent casualties were too great. The difference between the ordinary forces of both sides was also very large. He also analyzed the forces of both sides with him.

Su Chen revealed to him that he could summon a troop of foreign knights.

At that time, he thought that he was summoning a powerful foreign knight to fight. At that time, he was just very surprised. Su Chen patted his chest and assured him that there was no problem, so he was willing to bring the guards along with him.

He did not expect Su Chen to summon a group of high-quality knights that were a hundred strong. Moreover, each of them seemed to have combat strength comparable to a silver knight.

In fact, the lowest-level Glimmer Knights that Su Chen summoned were equivalent to well-trained silver-tier knights in this world.

Last night, after listening to Ian’s analysis of the military strength of both sides, he was even more determined to eliminate the Karev family. After all, with such a parasite in his territory, and he could not sleep well.

Originally, Su Chen did not intend to let Ian bring the guards over. This was because the Glimmer Knights would not be injured and would “Resurrect”. However, each of his own guards would stay dead. Su Chen had already made up his mind, if they were to fight, he would send his guards to the back.

Su Chen thought that if he could reduce the losses as much as possible, the remaining troops on the enemy side would be supportive of him.

With this thought, Su Chen did not want to massacre the knights of Karev Clan. Therefore, he tried his best to show the difference between the two forces. It would be best if he could win without a fight.

“Ian, do you think Master Karev is afraid? If he still doesn’t come out after such a long time, will we have to fight inside?” Su Chen turned around and said to Ian.

Ian rolled his eyes speechlessly. This battle formation was too exaggerated. Nobody would want to come out.

“Mayor, are you waiting for me to come out?”

After saying that, he walked to the front of the castle gate and shouted at the top of his voice, “Owen, you coward son of a b*tch. Don’t you dare to come out?”

Owen, who was already in a state of rage, had just walked out of the castle with the head knight when he heard Ian scolding him outside the castle gate. This was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, causing the already furious Owen to lose his mind.

He wanted to see what kind of trump card could make Ian so arrogant and daring to shout in front of his own home. In a short while, he would use the water arrow technique to pierce through his heart.

However, when he approached the gate, he saw the back of his poorly equipped guards. When he then saw a large group of valiant and brilliant knights standing upright, he was indeed somewhat shaken awake.

Although Owen had never believed what the head knight had told him, the sight of so many knights standing in front of him was still very striking. He could not help but feel a little scared, so he decided to ask why he had come.

Then, he changed his face and greeted him with a smile.

“Isn’t this the famous mayor and Lord Ian? Why are you suddenly visiting my house?”

Ian could not help but laugh in his heart. In all these years, other than when he met his uncle, an intermediate magician in Ferol City, he had never seen him greet others with a smile, he could not help but feel pleased in his heart.

“Because of the frequent invasion of the Magic Beasts, all the resources in the town have to be distributed and managed. Your castle is no exception… We are here to take inventory of your weapons and soldiers and we will redistribute them accordingly.”

Hearing this, Owen’s expression changed. They had brazenly come to rob his castle.

Looking at the knights behind him, Owen was a little afraid. He quickly thought of a way to deal with them. Suddenly, he thought of a plan and said to Su Chen and Ian with a smile.

“My Lords, why don’t you come inside and have a seat? It’s not a place to talk about things outside. Let’s go inside and talk about it.”

Su Chen could tell that Owen did not have any good intentions in calling him and Ian inside. Owen probably did not know that he was also a mage, so he still had some cards up his sleeve.

With him and Ian working together, even if Owen, a junior mage, wanted to trap them, it would be difficult. Even if the situation was urgent, he could just summon the twilight knights to his side. Therefore, he felt that there was no problem, he turned around and gave Ian a look. The two of them followed Owen into the castle.

“Sirs, this way.”

As he spoke, he brought Su Chen and Ian into the living room. On the way, he secretly ordered the butler to bring the treasure box from his room..
