"I am here on Lady Diya's orders to arrest this criminal who is impersonating a count!"

"John, are you going to disobey the lady's orders?" the Red Armor Knight asked righteously.

The Knight Attendant behind him, who were from the Sia Kingdom, also drew their longswords from their waists.

"What are your orders, Madam?"

"This is Bauhinia Castle, this is Grant Territory!"

"No matter what happens, the Earl will make the decision himself. You little brat, do you dare to block my way?" Old John roared.

Despite his advanced age, Old John is still as formidable as ever, judging from the heavy steel chainmail he wears.

Old John kept calling him "little brat," and the Red Armor Knight's forehead was already red with bulging veins.

He was Honorary Fief of the Sia Kingdom and Knight with a noble title.

Old John, who stood before him, had served Earl Grant for many years, but he was only granted the title of "Knight," a rank even lower than that of the Red Armor Knight.

"You old codger, I've disliked you for a long time."

"A few years ago, I might have been somewhat wary of you, but look how old you've become!"

"An old codger only fit to guard the city gates, prepare to die!" A crimson aura of Battle Qi emanated from the Red Armor Knight's longsword. →

This is the ability of Advanced Knight Servant to project his Battle Qi far beyond that of a typical Intermediate Squire.

With the support of Battle Qi aura, Advanced Knight Servant not only have a wider range of impact in battle, but also greater endurance.

In national wars, Advanced Knight Servant are absolutely capable of taking on a hundred men.

This is a formidable force capable of leading a cavalry unit through enemy lines.

The long-standing civil war between the three human kingdoms of the Sifa Kingdom, the Lisia Alliance, and the Ok Empire has resulted in the highest-ranking beings who have fallen in previous years being nothing more than Advanced Knight Servant.

With a roar, the Red Armor Knight charged straight toward Old John and the carriage.

Sharp beams of Battle Qi shot out from the longsword, even cutting a deep crack in the white stone floor of the castle.

Faced with the attack of the Red Armor Knight, Old John lowered his body slightly and remained as still as a mountain.

He is getting old, and both his strength and energy have indeed declined.

However, what he had more of than the Red Armor Knight was combat experience.

If they were to confront each other head-on, Old John might not necessarily gain any advantage, not to mention that the other side had more than a dozen Knight Attendant of lower rank behind him.

John's experience as a seasoned veteran was to find and exploit weaknesses in the opponent's attack.

As the Red Armor Knight attacked Old John, the other Knight from the earldom who had been gathered around also moved.

They weren't targeting Old John, but rather trying to intercept the Red Armor Knight and the dozen or so Sia Kingdom Knight Attendant behind him.

Old John was right, this is Bauhinia Castle, this is Grant Territory.

Regardless of what actually happened, the Earl is the absolute authority to decide everything.

The lady is not qualified.

In addition, the Lisia Alliance has been at war with the two neighboring human kingdoms for many years. Although there are times when they cooperate, in most cases, the Lisia Alliance Knight in the Earl's territory are united against the guys from the Sifa Kingdom.

As for Lagna, the Advanced Squire of the Knight in the castle, besides respecting Old John, a senior figure in Grant Territory, he was also a close and reliable person to the Earl, so he probably guessed who was in the carriage.

It was also clear that Lady Diya's demand for the arrest of the other party involved some noble connections.

In any case, everything depends on the Earl's return to make a decision.

The Squaerway City is not far from the Grant Territory, and according to what the Earl said when he left, he might be returning to the Earl's territory now that the meeting is over.

Now that there's news about the eldest son returning to Grant Territory, the Earl's return to the castle should be even faster.

Lagna needs to do now is to keep both sides calm and prevent them from hurting each other.

His actions, including leading his men to surround the carriage, were primarily aimed at securing the carriage and preventing any accidents.

However, what was unexpected was...

Faced with the attack of the Red Armor Knight and the dozen or so servants of the Sifa Kingdom behind him, the first to make a move was neither Old John, who was in a defensive stance, nor the Advanced Squire Lagna, who drew his longsword to intervene.

It was Saine inside the carriage!

A brief and rapid magical incantation began, Zhou

The rising Element Power around them gradually made the soldiers inside the castle feel uneasy.

These Knight were the elite of the Earl's territory, and almost all of them had participated in real wars.

In war, Knight who master Battle Qi represent the pinnacle of individual combat power.

But on the battlefield, it is magic that truly reaps the life force!

A Advanced Squire, having fought with all his might and killed a hundred enemy soldiers in a battle, would have exhausted his strength and Battle Qi.

But magic won't!

A Advanced Magic Apprentice, if he throws a powerful spell at the right place and time, can easily cause casualties of hundreds of people.

Furthermore, the Mental Strength and Magic Power power of Advanced Magic Apprentice are sufficient to unleash two or three powerful spells, even those that consume a great deal of energy, under normal circumstances.

Besides, magic gives people a feeling of being more mysterious and powerful.

In the army of the Lisia Alliance, the treatment of a Intermediate Magic Apprentice is comparable to that of a Advanced Knight Servant.

Moreover, he doesn't need to fight on the front lines; he can simply cast spells safely under the protection of his own army.

The magic that Saine unleashed was Flame Blade.

As the only advanced spell that Saine currently possesses, Flame Blade is not an area-of-effect spell; it is a single-target attack spell.

The azure Flame Blade slowly formed in the air, and all the soldiers around felt the terrifying power and Thermal Energy contained within it.

Without proper equipment, relying solely on their flesh and blood, even if Advanced Squire have the power of Battle Qi to protect them, it's no joke for them to withstand a Flame Blade head-on.

Given the scarcity of defensive magical items, how could Red Armor Knight possibly possess them?

The difference between the Mage and Knight classes only becomes apparent after reaching level one or higher.

Only official Knight of level one or above possess the ability to fully project their Battle Qi and condense it into a shield.

Only then could the Knight truly be said to be advancing amidst a barrage of magic.

However, in reality, once you reach level one or higher, the differences between the two become even greater due to the more specialized roles of Mage.

The Knight ' ability to condense their Battle Qi Shield will be no match for the Mage ' more numerous methods, as well as the enhancements from various alchemical tools and Magic Potion.
