The Grand Knight's Battle!

) The year 1010 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.

This summer in Icewind City seems to be cooler than usual.

Although the weather was comfortable, Levi knew it was not a good sign.

The cooling of the climate is most likely due to the "Demon Tide".

Perhaps one day in the distant future, the entire Northern Territory will be plunged into a state of extreme cold, like that of the Far North!

And then there were those troublesome Snow Wraith. Thinking of this, Levi felt increasingly anxious.

I must become a wizard as soon as possible, enter the Land of the Faithless, and stay away from these dangers.

During this period, Earl Silver Mountain's army has been conducting high-intensity patrols in Icewind City every day.

Regardless of whether the Brotherhood of the Wilds's army arrives or not, they are already prepared to fight the enemy.

Meanwhile, the Earl Silver Mountain's vassal territories were continuously sending troops and supplies to Icewind City.

Levi rented a house and quietly practiced his cultivation.

Because the breathing techniques of the Sea Siren, Giant Rhinoceros, and Human-Faced Spider Breathing Technique are all at their current limits, and there are no Secret Medicine for the Giant and Vortex Worm, Levi spends most of his time practicing the Black Snake and Blood Whale Breathing Technique, as well as the Golden Cross Slash.

He would still visit the Shining Tavern regularly, hoping to find what he needed, only to be disappointed time and time again.

On this day, Levi was returning from the Shining Tavern as usual, on his way back to his residence.

Suddenly, the sound of bugle calls for assembly came from the direction of the city wall.

Levi's heart stirred.

"It seems the Brotherhood of the Wilds's army has arrived."

He put on the White Wolf Mask, changed his posture, and used his superior agility to head towards the city wall.

On the city wall, squads of soldiers gathered, their faces solemn as they gazed at the approaching army on the wilderness. The army was densely packed, and at a rough glance, it seemed to number nearly ten thousand.

Earl Silver Mountain personally donned armor and led the army. His red cloak paired with Leviathan Armor made him look imposing and extraordinary. He held a long spear in his hand and gazed intently at the approaching army.

The army stationed in Icewind City numbered only two thousand men—the entire army of Earl Silver Mountain. They were elite, fully-trained soldiers. In addition, along the city's main road stood a two-hundred-man squad of heavy cavalry mounted on Highland Warhorse — Earl Silver Mountain's elite "Silver Charge Squad." These heavy cavalrymen, all armed with spurs and accompanied by cavalry squires, would break through enemy lines with unstoppable force once the battle began, then, in conjunction with elite infantry, reap the lives of the enemy.

Outside the city, the Brotherhood of the Wilds's army looked rather meager. At the front of the army was a shield-bearing square formation, responsible for providing cover for the soldiers behind and protecting them from arrow attacks. Apart from this shield-bearing force, behind them was a bunch of seemingly vulnerable ragtag militia.

However, at the very rear of the army were four colossal beasts clad in heavy armor. These beasts had single horns, stood over four meters tall, and weighed over ten tons. They were the unique "Icefield Rhinoceros" of the Northern Territory plateau. All four Icefield Rhinoceros were clad in heavy armor tailored to their own, and combined with their already tough and thick-skinned physique, they were the Brotherhood of the Wilds's trump card and a powerful weapon for attacking the city!

Clearly, Earl Silver Mountain hadn't expected the Brotherhood of the Wilds able to acquire such a rare war beast.

Although the Icefield Rhinoceros is gentle and rarely harms people, that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Its massive size alone is enough to overwhelm most Knight below the Great Knight. If it weren't for the fact that its defense and attack power are inferior to the Earth Dragon Beast, this guy's fame might not be much less than that of the Earth Dragon Beast.

Now that these Icefield Giant Rhinoceros are heavily armored and their defensive weaknesses have been addressed, things might get a little tricky next.

The four giant beasts shook the earth when they walked, which was terrifying.

The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Seemingly sensing the soldiers' fear, Earl Silver Mountain frowned slightly, then shouted, "No need for panic, everyone! I will personally kill these four giant beasts!"

When Earl Silver Mountain spoke, the soldiers' morale was boosted, and the situation improved somewhat.

Levi had already slipped out of the city and was hiding in the wilderness, feeling the earth vibrate.

"Wow, the Wilderness Action Club is really showing some strength this time."

He quietly awaited the outbreak of the great battle. Once the battle broke out, he could take advantage of the chaos to capture some people, inquire about the whereabouts of the Boar Knight, and then go to seek revenge on the Boar Knight. He could also rescue Old Toby, which would be a way of giving the Little Milan a proper explanation.

The leader of the Brotherhood of the Wilds was a Peak Knight. He wielded Meteor Hammer and stared coldly at Earl Silver Mountain, seemingly not very afraid of this Great Knight.

Before long, a fierce battle broke out.

In the wilderness, the boulders launched by the catapults thundered away.

On the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city rained down arrows.

The four Icefield Giant Rhinoceros, like tanks, charged towards the city gate and walls, braving countless arrows.

Earl Silver Mountain leaped down from the city wall, like a silver God of War, and charged towards the four giant beasts.

Once these four behemoths are dealt with, his heavy cavalry can easily break through and divide the enemy's formation, and then things will be much easier.

While the two sides were locked in battle, Levi also made his move. White Wolf Mask appeared on the dusty battlefield and then easily disappeared with one person.

"Tell me, where is the Boar Knight?" Levi asked coldly, staring at the bewildered Brotherhood of the Wilds soldier.

"Huh? I don't know."

With a snap, the soldier's head was turned 360 degrees.

Levi found another new person, who seemed to be a captain and had the strength of Pre-Knight.

Of course, in front of Levi, it was still like crushing a chick, completely powerless to fight back.

"Tell me, where is the Boar Knight?" Levi asked.

"Who are you? Let me go! Do you want to die?" the captain struggled.

He only calmed down after Levi crushed his shoulder blade.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is the Boar Knight? My patience is limited, don't disappoint me," Levi asked coldly.

"I'll talk, I'll talk... Don't kill me. The Boar Knight, it seems he was sent out on a mission by our Vice President, but I don't know where he went. I'm just a squad leader, while the Boar Knight is the head of the equipment department. I really don't know where he is..." the squad leader said hurriedly.

"Where is your Vice President? What's his status?" Levi asked.

"Our Vice President is on the battlefield; he has the strength of Great Knight."

"Okay, you can go die now."

Levi strangled the squad leader to death and then hid in the wilderness.

"Good heavens, when Brotherhood of the Wilds become so strong? The Vice President is already Great Knight?" Levi wondered.

"Why is it so hard for me to get revenge on the Boar Knight?" Levi said, speechless.

"Never mind, let's wait and see what this Vice President's strength is. Since he's on the battlefield, why didn't I see him earlier?" Levi secretly observed the battlefield situation.

At the same time, his sharp eyes noticed that the Silver Mountain Knight, who was fighting with four Icefield Rhinoceros, was completely unaware that in a corner of the battlefield, a bald figure riding a heavily armored warhorse, wearing armor and wielding a giant axe, was advancing savagely, sending Silver Mountain soldiers who blocked his way flying one by one, some of whom were directly split in two by the giant axe.

"Die!"

A bald, burly man ambushes Earl Silver Mountain!

An axe struck Earl Silver Mountain in the back.

Although Earl Silver Mountain had dodged in advance, he was still hit.

The axe, wreathed in Black Qi, failed to cleave through Leviathan Armor.

However, the enormous impact sent Earl Silver Mountain flying, spitting out blood on the spot. Upon seeing this, the other commanders immediately opened the city gates, and hundreds of heavily armored cavalrymen, gripping their spurs, charged in with earth-shaking force.

Even a bald, burly man had to temporarily steer clear.

Earl Silver Mountain's face was gloomy. He took the opportunity to stand up, holding his silver spear, and looked at the smug bald man.

"Who are you? I didn't expect there to be Great Knight I don't recognize in the Northern Territory." Earl Silver Mountain coughed, feeling a tightness in his chest, and asked.

"Hehe, it's normal that Great Knight as noble as Earl Silver Mountain doesn't recognize Nameless like me. But soon, you nobles will know my name."

"Remember this, I am the Grave Digger of your nobility! Warrior Atos!"

The bald, burly man dismounted, leaped over the crowd, and with a sweeping, earth-shattering axe, charged towards Earl Silver Mountain.

"You lowly rat! Die!" Earl Silver Mountain remained fearless and charged forward with his spear! The spear's edge clashed with the axe's light. No one dared to approach the place where these two Great Knight clashed; to get close and be grazed meant certain death.

The responsibility of dealing with the Icefield Giant Rhinoceros ultimately fell to the "Silver Charge Squad" and several other High-Rank Knight and Peak Knight guarding the city. They were all Earl Silver Mountain's right-hand men and extremely powerful.

Levi sat on the sidelines watching the tigers fight. His original intention was not to let Icewind City be breached. If the defenders couldn't hold out, he wouldn't mind taking action and killing those beasts.

However, the situation is not too bad yet. It is obvious that even though the bald Vice President launched a sneak attack first, causing Earl Silver Mountain to be slightly injured, he is still no match for Earl Silver Mountain. After several rounds of fighting, the bald man has fallen to the bottom.

"This must be the difference in Breathing Technique. Actually, the bald giant's fighting skills are in no way inferior to Earl Silver Mountain's, but Earl Silver Mountain's Breathing Technique is of perfect quality, while the bald giant's is definitely of excellent quality. That's where the difference comes in," Levi commented.

After observing the fight between the two men.

Levi was now confident, even without using the Frost Giant's Sigh.

With his current top-tier defense, speed, and strength, plus the Golden Cross Slash, he should be able to go toe-to-toe with a burly man like the bald giant.

With the addition of his mastery of Rune Seal and poison techniques, his chances of winning should be over 70%.

If I use Frost Giant's Sigh, my chances of winning are 99%.

The reason I didn't say 100% is because Levi is rather conservative and worried about unforeseen circumstances!

Even so, Levi would not underestimate his opponent; he would go all out and launch a saturation attack! Levi continued to observe the battlefield. He did not want the bald giant to die here. He still needed to interrogate him to get him to reveal the whereabouts of the Boar Knight.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the bald giant realized he couldn't defeat Earl Silver Mountain. His Breathing Technique was inferior, and his armor was no match for Earl Silver Mountain's Leviathan Armor. In just a few moves, Earl Silver Mountain's Mithril spear pierced through him, and he was also stabbed in the abdomen, bleeding profusely.

This made Earl Silver Mountain realize even more deeply just how invincible the armor Forging by Terra Master was!

Meanwhile, Atos, the Vice President of the Brotherhood of the Wilds, simply decided to retreat, letting the Icefield Giant Rhinoceros continue its charge to hold off the Silver Mountain Knight.

He then disappeared into the army.

He thought that after advancing to the Great Knight, he should be about the same level as the Silver Mountain Knight, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the strength of the Silver Mountain Knight, especially the Silver Mountain Knight's battle armor, which was far superior to his own and was clearly a work of Master Smith level!

This infuriated Atos. If it were ordinary battle armor, his initial axe strike might have severely injured the opponent! He wasn't originally the commander of this battle; he was only there to carry out a decapitation strike. Now that the decapitation had failed, he had no choice but to retreat and make further plans.

Levi mingled among the army, hiding in the shadows. He needed to get close to the bald man in order to unleash the Frost Giant's Sigh.

Soon, the Vice President had led a small team away from the battle area.

"Damn it, this Silver Mountain Knight must have been hiding his strength all along."

Atos, riding his horse, was very dissatisfied.

Just then, the Great Knight's keen senses detected an aura rapidly approaching.

At the same time, the sound of arrows whistling through the air could be heard.

He turned his head and saw that all his men had fallen.

A figure wearing White Wolf Mask rushed over at an exaggerated speed.

A cross-shaped sword light struck, which Atos blocked with his giant axe, which was wreathed in violent Black Qi! "You're from Silver Mountain? Die!" he roared, unleashing his full power! The clang of metal on metal echoed as Levi's figure grew taller and stronger amidst the crackling sounds, white energy spreading through the forest.

Beneath the White Wolf Mask, Levi smiled.

A cold wind howled, and behind him, the majestic phantom of a Frost Giant rose up amidst a sigh. The giant looked at Atos with the gaze one would give an ant, and snapped his fingers.

I woke up with a fever of 38.6 degrees Celsius this morning. I took the day off from work, took fever reducer, and will sleep all day.
