Outside the hall, a few people were standing.
After a moment of silence, Saul looked at the golden-haired man in front of him and laughed, "Sitar, long time no see!"
"Yes."
The golden-haired man named Sitar stood in front of Saul and listened to him. "It has indeed been a long time.
However, since you are back, please come in. "
He smiled politely. "I heard that you came back and prepared a sumptuous banquet for you. I believe that you will be satisfied."
"Oh, then I want to see what you have prepared for me."
Seeing that the golden-haired man was treating his guests like a host, Saul was furious, but he didn't show it on his face.
He smiled and said, "Please come in."
After a glance at Saul in front of him and Adil beside him, Sitar turned around and led them into the main hall.
After a while, they walked into a spacious hall.
It was obvious that this place had been properly cleaned up, and every part of it was well decorated.
Delicately prepared food was placed all over the place. They were all neatly arranged on the wooden tables and seemed to have been carefully prepared.
In the hall, there were also some guests dressed in formal attire. Everyone had a smile on their faces and stood there chatting with each other. On the surface, it seemed harmonious and made people unconsciously relax.
However, under this harmonious atmosphere, Adil felt a sense of pressure.
There were people hiding around the hall and staring at Saul and his group. Adil faintly sensed them.
After a while, as Sitar walked to the front, the hall instantly quieted down.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Sitar and Saul beside him.
"Do you need me to introduce you to the guests who are here today?"
Looking at the gradually gathering crowd, Sitar's smile didn't change as he looked at Saul and asked.
Saul didn't say anything. Although the smile on his face didn't change, his gaze gradually turned cold.
Seeing that Saul didn't say anything, Sitar didn't mind. He looked at the people in front of him and introduced, "This is Adri, my newly appointed guard group leader. He is in charge of the guard group in the city.
This is Aradea, the patriarch of the Sisru family. I think you should be familiar with him. "
… …
In front of Saul, he introduced the people in front of him one by one, the smile on his face never changing.
Standing in front of him and listening to his introduction, Saul's mood couldn't help but turn cold.
As a former lord, he naturally knew what the other party's introduction meant. Not only was it a show of strength, but it was also telling him that the current situation of the castle had been completely grasped by the other party in such a short period of time.
If an ordinary person were to suddenly hear such news at this time, they might not be able to help but change their expression.
However, Thor had been a lord for many years. Even though he was furious, he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and chatted with the people in front of him.
Soon, the banquet officially began.
Compared to an ordinary banquet, the scale of this banquet was undoubtedly much smaller. Moreover, there were no female companions around, only guards with cold expressions standing at the side.
But at this moment, no one cared about this.
Everyone present was very clear about the purpose of this banquet, and no one would really come to enjoy themselves.
Their gazes were all focused on the front.
There, Saul, Sitar, and the others were still chatting and it seemed like they were having a good time.
"Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you just now."
Sitar, who was sitting in front of Saul, suddenly said as though he recalled something.
"Oh, what is it?"
Saul squinted his eyes when he heard Sitar's words, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"It's about your children."
Under Saul's gaze, the smile on Sitar's face didn't change and he said, "After you left, your children caused a lot of trouble. In order to prevent unnecessary losses, I locked them up."
Because you weren't around, I didn't have the time to tell you about it. I hope you don't mind. "
Bang!
A crisp sound echoed on the spot, attracting everyone's attention.
Under Sitar's gaze, Saul's face turned ashen and the ceramic bowl in his hand was crushed into pieces. "What are you trying to do?!"
"What am I trying to do?"
At this moment, the expression on Sitar's face suddenly changed and became somewhat sinister, "Of course I want to take back this castle that originally belonged to me!"
The place instantly fell into silence.
Sitting in front of Sitar, Saul's face returned to normal. "If you do this, even if you succeed, you will only become someone else's puppet. You won't get what you want."
"So what?"
Sitar laughed coldly. "Even if I'm just a puppet in name, with my strength, as long as I have enough time, I will have a chance to break free from others' control. It's much better than being watched by you."
"Seems like we can't talk anymore."
Saul's face instantly turned cold.
Bang!
A violent clashing sound came from the front.
Saul stood up abruptly, flipping the wooden table in front of him with a single hand and smashing it on the opposite side, sending two guards flying.
Sitar, who was opposite him, revealed a cold smile and walked behind him.
Beside him, a tall guard walked forward. He was wearing leather armor, and his eyes were sharp as he rushed towards Saul.
Bang! Kaboom!
Swords clashed repeatedly, producing clanging sounds that echoed in the surroundings.
But after a short while, the guards in front of Sitar were knocked down by Saul and fell to the ground.
He was a famous knight in this area. Before the calamity, he had led his army to battle everywhere, so it wasn't a problem for him to deal with a few warriors alone.
After more than a month of training with Adil, his body's quality had improved rapidly. Even some veteran knight apprentices might not be his match, so dealing with a few ordinary warriors was not a problem.
He used his sword to forcefully knock down the guards in front of him. His right hand held the blood-stained sword and his sharp gaze swept below.
Below, the guests who were invited by Sitar were shocked when they saw his valiant performance. Sensing his gaze, they lowered their heads.
"Kill him!" A voice came from the side, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.
From all around the hall, a few warriors wearing leather armor quickly walked over from all directions. At this moment, they were all staring at Saul.
"Lord Saul is the legitimate overlord. Aren't you afraid that your clansmen will be hanged to death by doing this?"
At the side, a few guards jumped out and stood beside Saul. They looked at the large number of warriors and loudly reprimanded.
At the side, among the guests, a few people's eyes flickered as if they wanted to step out.
Being reprimanded, the leading knight sneered, "The kingdom has already collapsed. Who cares if you are the legitimate overlord?
"Kill him!"
Looking at the surroundings, he decisively led his men and charged forward, only Saul in his eyes.
"Lord Adil!"
Standing on the spot and looking around, Saul looked at Adil.
"Leave it to me."
Sensing Saul's gaze, a smile appeared on Adil's face as he walked forward.
He silently pulled out the sword at his waist, and his figure instantly disappeared.
Bang!
With a soft sound, a head fell to the ground. The head's face was still filled with fear and confusion, as if he didn't understand what had happened.
Rays of silver sword light spread out in all directions, and many people were sent flying back.
Standing on the spot, Adil's expression was calm. The sword in his hand flashed with arcs of lightning, and he fiercely slashed down.
Silver Splendor!
With the addition of magic power, the power of this sword increased explosively. The power attached to it instantly hit the ten or so warriors around him, directly destroying half of their bodies.
"This …"
The surrounding crowd stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape. They almost thought they were dreaming.
Hundreds of fully-armored guards had been defeated in a short period of time, and the opponent was just a single person.
Standing on the spot and looking at the corpses that continuously fell, Adil's expression was calm. He put down the sword in his hand and then turned to look at Saul.
Saul stared blankly at the scene before him. Even though he was prepared for Adil's power, he still couldn't help but feel shocked and fearful after witnessing this scene for himself.
But now, he concealed his true feelings very well and laughed. "I've troubled Sir Adil to make his move! Just leave the rest to me. "
He turned around and looked at the surrounding guests. His eyes narrowed as he said, "Everyone present, please wait here for a while."
Below, hearing Saul's words, the surrounding people looked at each other and saw bitter smiles on each other's faces.
However, after experiencing what had just happened, it was impossible for them to stand out and fight against Saul. Silent, they all stood at the side and did not express their opinions.
Seeing their attitudes, Saul's expression was calm, but he secretly nodded.
This was the effect he wanted.
With the shock and deterrence caused by Adil's attack, in addition to the prestige he had accumulated in the past, the people in the hall temporarily did not dare to stand out against him and maintained a neutral attitude.
With such an attitude, in addition to the destruction of the hundreds of elite warriors, the power that Sitar could use was greatly reduced.
Without these loyal warriors, even if Sitar managed to control the other weapons in the castle, he would not be able to completely control them in such a short period of time, let alone make a move against Lord Saul.
