Standing on a flat ground, the warriors around him were engaged in battle. In the middle of the battlefield, Adil stood quietly, looking at Cadiz who was opposite him.
Beside him, a look of determination flashed across Peral's face, and he charged forward without hesitation. It seemed that he wanted to buy time for Adil to take Eledward away.
Looking at this scene, Cadiz's eyes flashed with a trace of emotion. His body trembled slightly, but he did not charge forward in the end.
Beside him, a knight in black armor who had been silent all this while suddenly stepped forward, the longsword in his hand slashing at Peral, entangling him.
His sword was powerful and powerful, every swing of his sword emitting a heavy hum. For a moment, Peral, who was in front of him, was continuously pushed back. Impressively, he was also an expert at the pinnacle of the knight realm.
"Now, it's just the two of us left."
Looking at Peral, who was entangled and gradually falling into a disadvantage, Cadiz sighed in his heart. He then turned to look at Adil in front of him, and Eledward standing behind him.
Specks of pale white Combat Aura appeared on his body. Although it was still a little faint, his identity as a Great Knight was evident, enough to look down on everyone present.
Seeing this, Eledward felt despair in his heart, fear in his eyes.
Great Knights. Experts of this level were rare in any kingdom.
If a knight could be said to be able to protect a region and suppress a territory, then a Great Knight was a powerful expert who could single-handedly support a small battle. Unless there were experts of the same level holding them back, or they were surrounded by a large number of warriors, they could not be threatened at all.
In the entire northern lands, there were only two Great Knights, Cadilla and Count Boria, who were known as the number one Great Knight. Now, another one had appeared here.
Looking at Adil in front of him, Cadiz did not waste any more words. He directly stepped forward and swung his sword down, pale white Combat Aura twining around it, viciously stabbing at Adil.
This was the Great Knight's attack that was close to his full strength, and he had already used the power of the secret techniques of knights. Ordinary knights would not be able to block it, and would only end up injured if not dead.
Looking at the attack before him, Adil stood where he was in Silence, still calmly looking at Cadiz as if he did not notice the powerful attack before him.
"Adil!" Behind him, Elwa instinctively shouted when he saw this scene. He looked at this scene with some fear.
Before he finished speaking, a sword light suddenly lit up.
The silver Combat Aura radiance suddenly shook, and in an instant, it left behind dozens of sword scars as it fiercely rushed forward, colliding with Cadiz's attack.
Silver Flower!
Streaks of silver light flickered incessantly, and an aura far thicker and more powerful than Cadiz's own gushed out, blocking his attack.
"You!!!" Cadiz's face was filled with shock as he stared at Adil who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Bam!
At this moment, the sound of swords colliding rang out. Two powerful Knight secret techniques collided at this moment. The different combat energies contained within them collided and exploded.
The two forces collided head-on, and the victor was decided in an instant.
Cadiz fiercely spat out a large mouthful of blood, and in an instant, several new wounds appeared on his body. His entire body flew backwards quickly, crashing fiercely into a wall five to six meters away.
As a Grand Knight, his vitality was very strong. Even after suffering such a heavy blow, he still struggled to get up, while looking at Adil in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
At this moment, everyone's eyes almost froze. Everyone's gaze couldn't help but focus on the young man in front of them, their eyes filled with shock.
In front of Elwa, a figure was still standing there in Silence, his expression calm. Even though he was being stared at by everyone present, he did not show the slightest change in expression.
And on his body, strands of light silver Combat Aura floated outside his body in Silence, indicating that it was that kind of power.
"Adil … You … You're a Grand Knight?"
Behind Adil, looking at this scene and feeling the light silver Combat Aura floating around his body, Elwa's face was filled with shock as he stammered.
The scene in front of him was a little too much for him.
In the short span of a day, Elwa felt that everything in the past had been overturned.
The castle, which had been peaceful for decades, had suddenly erupted into chaos. His powerful father had disappeared without a trace, and it seemed that things did not bode well for him. Now, even his best friend from childhood seemed to have changed into a different person, suddenly becoming a Grand Knight.
All of this caused Elwa to be in a daze, feeling as if he had just had a terrifying nightmare.
In front of him, however, Adil did not stop.
He held the sword in his right hand, took a step forward, and directly swung his sword in the direction of Prahl.
Light silver Combat Aura condensed on the sword, and as he swung it, it condensed into a real sword aura that fiercely rushed forward.
Seven or eight meters away, the expression of the black-armored Knight who was fighting with Prahl changed. He felt a terrifying sense of danger surge from the bottom of his heart, causing him to involuntarily stop what he was doing.
Waves of sword cries rang out in his ears, as well as whistling vibrations.
Sensing all of this, he took a deep breath, took a step back, and then fiercely swung the sword in his hand forward.
The life force in his body quickly surged, dyeing the sword in his hand with a layer of light green. It collided fiercely with the sword aura that had condensed from Combat Aura, nullifying it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Prahl freed himself from the Knight in front of him and quickly retreated to stand next to Elwa, looking at Adil with a complicated expression.
"Are you still not coming out?"
Adil suddenly turned and spoke to a corner.
As he spoke, the light silver Combat Aura condensed again, and he directly rushed towards that corner.
Crack!!!
There was suddenly a soft sound of collision in front of him. There, the Combat Aura that Adil had swung out was directly scattered, turning into faint silver splendor and vanishing.
A tall figure suddenly appeared from that corner, also holding a black longsword in his hand, but the style was a little different from the one in Adil's hand.
This was Cadilla. He was currently wearing light white armor, and a hint of doubt appeared on his handsome, cheerful face. "How did you find out?"
"Of course I saw it with my eyes."
Seeing the figure appear before him, Adil's eyes narrowed. His expression did not change as he spoke calmly.
Of course, this was a lie.
Cadilla had concealed himself very well, as if he had used some special technique. He did not reveal any aura at all, and even Adil had not discovered anything at this moment.
The reason why he could discover Cadilla was actually because of the A.I. Chip in his mind. However, he naturally could not explain this to Cadilla in detail.
Cadilla naturally did not believe this explanation.
However, he had only asked casually, and did not probe further. He only looked solemnly at Adil standing in the distance.
He had seen Cadilla's previous burst of power, as well as that bitingly cold and powerful silver Combat Aura, and had long since made an estimate of Cadilla's strength.
This was not like Cadiz, who had just advanced to Grand Knight. Cadilla was a true Grand Knight, and with his age, it could be said to be shocking.
"Cadilla, you've betrayed us as well!"
Behind Adil, Prahl looked at Cadilla in the distance, his eyes filled with intense fury. "Lord Boria was not unkind to you. Why did you do this?"
"Not unkind?" Listening to Prahl's words, Cadilla's lips curled into a cold smile, "Is that really the case?"
"Prahl, you and I are different."
He looked coldly at Prahl, "Although your surname is not Farcus, your mother and your wife are both members of the Farcus family. To Boria, they are naturally one of our own.
What about me? " He pointed at himself, the cold smile on his face becoming more and more obvious, "My ancestor was once a marquis. Although he is now in dire straits, his status is no less than anyone else's.
"As a Grand Knight, I established the Black Knights with my own hands. How much have I helped Boria with? How much territory did I get in the end? "
"At the end of the day, the Farcus family has too many people. They've already divided up the territory in the north, and there's no room for outsiders to interfere."
At this point, his expression became calm and unperturbed, "Since that's the case, why can't I take back what belongs to me?
If he won't give it to me, I'll take it myself with my sword! "
"You!" Prahl's face immediately turned ashen.
What he said was indeed the truth.
The Farcus family's rule in the north was too tyrannical. Nobles without the Farcus family's bloodline would be suppressed imperceptibly.
This kind of practice reached its peak during Count Boria's rule. During the decades of his rule, a large number of nobles with other surnames declined one after another, suppressed by him with harsh methods.
At the end of the day, during the nearly 100 years that the Farcus family ruled the north, the nobles with other surnames had never stopped rebelling. It was just that it had never been so tragic that even Cadilla, the number one knight in the north, took the lead in rebelling.
"Lord Cadilla …"
Behind Adil, Elva looked at Cadilla in the distance in disbelief.
He had always regarded the number one knight in the north as his idol, but he never expected that this time, his idol would actually stand against him and take the lead in rebelling.
"Adil."
In front of him, Cadilla paid no attention to the reactions of the others. He only looked at Adil with a complicated and solemn gaze, "You really surprise me. In the history of the Ariel Kingdom, legend has it that the fastest person to become a Great Knight was the legendary King Avayad. He became a Great Knight at the age of 15, two years later than you.
"Unfortunately, if you weren't from the Farcus family, I would definitely find a way to make you surrender."
He first sighed in admiration, but then his tone suddenly changed, becoming somewhat cold, "By the way, I have good news for you. Your father, Baron Escalan, died in battle not long ago, by my hands!"
After saying this, he raised his head and looked ahead, his cold gaze fixed on Adil's face.
However, Adil did not show any signs of anger or irrationality. His face was calm, and even when he heard the bad news, he was only stunned for a moment.
What he did not know was that for Adil, he did not have much affection for his so-called father in this world at all. Even if the other party died in front of him, he might not be moved, let alone hearing the news of his death.
Cadilla believed that as a member of the Farcus family, he would never surrender to rebels like them. But in reality, if he had tried to instigate Adil before, then Adil might really have agreed.
After all, judging from the current situation, Cadilla and the others were coming aggressively, and there was no telling how many more forces were supporting them. Count Polia's side was very likely to be no match for them. So for Adil, in order to avoid danger, there was no psychological pressure to choose to side with the rebel side.
But now, it was all too late.
