Inside the palace of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, King Ambrose's face was gloomy. Prince Derek was standing next to him, but he didn't say anything either. Below him were ten or so ministers of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
A knight rushed into the palace, bowed, and reported, "Report! The third squad of Griffin Knights are all dead! The bodies of the Griffin Knights have been found, and all four of their Grand Knight Captains have been killed!"
King Ambrose's eyes were filled with anger, "It seems like the Kingdom of Saint Ellis has been living a peaceful life for far too long. So long that they didn't even notice when the orcs entered their territory. So long that even their Griffin Knight Captains were ambushed!"
The ministers' faces were burning as well. This was a humiliation. They were still celebrating their victory over the Orc Empire in Miracle City, and now the Kingdom of Saint Ellis was being slapped in the face by the Orc Empire.
The Kingdom of St Ellis had become the laughingstock of the human world. Their most beloved prince had been attacked, and all of the griffin knights had died in battle.
The Griffin Knight Captains had never suffered a loss like this since they were founded.
The death of the four Griffin Knight Captains had greatly reduced the strength of the Griffin Knight Captains. The Griffin Knight Captains were the most powerful Griffin Knight Captains in the palace.
"We want revenge!" Prince Derek bowed and said in a deep voice.
King Ambrose looked at the ministers, "Give me a plan. You all need to come up with a plan for revenge. I want a plan that will work. I want the Orc Empire to regret this!"
At this moment, a white light rose up in the hall. However, as soon as the white light appeared, an extremely powerful aura locked onto it.
The light disappeared, and an intermediate wizard appeared in the palace with Prince Horace in his arms. The "instantaneous movement" and the teleportation circle had made Prince Horace's injuries even worse. His energy was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
As if it had sensed that the intermediate wizard was not dangerous, the powerful aura disappeared.
"Horace!" Prince Derek couldn't help but yell.
He saw the dagger in Prince Horace's chest. It was the last honor of a Knight, and from the way Prince Horace's hand gripped the hilt of the dagger, it was clear that Prince Horace was protecting his honor at the last moment.
"Good boy!" Emperor Ambrose also saw the dagger. He nodded and murmured. Then he turned around and bowed. "Ancestor, please save this child!"
"Let me see!" Another white light flashed in the hall, and an elite wizard appeared next to Prince Horace.
"Sir!" The intermediate wizard holding Prince Horace bowed.
This elite wizard's name was Bernard. He was a royal wizard, but at his age, he had protected many generations of emperors. Normally, he would train in a sealed magic tower in the palace.
Wizard Bernard nodded and smiled at the intermediate wizard, "You did well!"
Then, he looked at Prince Horace and scanned his body with his power of the Will. He then turned back to King Ambrose and said, "This child is done for. Unless I have a very powerful healing potion, I won't be able to save him. Otherwise, I'll just make him suffer."
Wizard Bernard had seen countless deaths, including those of his juniors. Death was nothing to him. Even if Prince Horace was one of his juniors, he wouldn't be affected by it.
"Derek, do you know where I can find an overpowered healing potion in the investigation department you're in charge of?" King Ambrose finally calmed down and turned to Prince Derek and asked.
"According to the investigation department, Guru Abel should have one!" Prince Derek replied without thinking.
The investigation department of the Kingdom of St Ellis had compiled a detailed report on Abel. Prince Derek was the head of the investigation department, and he had seen Abel before. Therefore, he had gone through the report in detail.
There was a part where Abel used a healing potion to save a few Knights on the orc battlefield. The Knights were severely injured, but they recovered in a short amount of time.
This part of the story left a deep impression on Prince Derek. There were just too many exaggerations in the description.
However, at this moment, he treated these seemingly exaggerated descriptions as a life-saving straw, praying in his heart that this information was true.
Emperor Ambrose bowed to Wizard Bernard, "Old Ancestor, please do something to stabilize this child's life. I'll ask someone to get the healing potion right away!"
If there was no hope, he wouldn't ask the old man for help. The old man was old, and every time he did something, he would have to pay a price. The old man was the anchor of the Kingdom of St Ellis, so Abel didn't want to bother him.
Wizard Bernard nodded and pressed on Prince Horace's wound. Afterward, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it into Prince Horace's mouth.
"You only have six hours. After that, this child can't be saved!" With that, he disappeared from the hall.
Emperor Ambrose lowered his voice, "Contact Guru Abel now!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A minister on the side bowed and quickly walked to the side hall where there was a magic circle for communication with the other duchies.
Soon, the minister returned and bowed, "Your Majesty, the minister of the Duchy of Carmel said that Guru Abel hasn't shown up in Bakong City for a month. They can't contact Guru Abel!"
Emperor Ambrose lowered his voice, "Derek, ask the spies you've hidden in your investigation department. Tell them who they are and ask Guru Abel to come here!"
He knew that six hours was a long time, but for a wizard who was always in seclusion, six hours was just a blink of an eye. If he wanted to contact Abel in six hours, he'd have to use a lot of methods.
Prince Derek smiled bitterly, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
It had to be known that each of these spies was extremely important. Moreover, as a sovereign state, although every Dukedom knew about this, it had never been made public. This was too shameful for a sovereign state.
King Ambrose continued, "Derek, you need to know one thing. Horace is willing to sacrifice his life to protect the honor of the kingdom. He deserves to be repaid by the kingdom. We must save him at all costs!"
The reason why the nobles and knights enjoyed the support of the commoners was because the first generation of nobles and knights had sacrificed their lives to protect the commoners and the country. Later generations of nobles, with the exception of a few prodigal nobles, would learn how to maintain the meaning of the nobles' existence.
This was the foundation of the stability of the human world in the Holy Continent. If a prince sacrificed his life to protect the honor of the kingdom, then the kingdom should repay him. This was the reason why countless Knight nobles were willing to face death with a smile while shouting, "Honor is my life!"
In Bakong City, Duchy of Carmel, a servant walked into the palace with a serious look on his face. He was supposed to be resting, but at that moment, he went straight to the palace and found Steward Burbage.
The servant bowed to Steward Burbage, "Steward Burbage, I'm Banksy from the Kingdom of Saint Ellis' investigation department. I'm here to deliver a message to King Abel!"
"You wait!" Steward Burbage's face changed. He was the only one in the entire Duchy of Carmel who could contact Abel because he was the only one in the palace who could contact the guardian spirit. This servant must have noticed the relationship between him and Abel.
Something important must have happened for the Kingdom of St Ellis's investigation department to reveal their identities. They had no choice but to do something like this.
He put some distance between himself and Banksy and took out an identity card, "Steward Burbage wants to talk to King Abel. Requesting connection!"
"Please wait, connecting now!" A mechanical voice emerged.
The guardian spirit was connected to the teleportation circle in Harry Castle through the teleportation circle and connected to tower spirit Flora.
