Chapter 839- Knight Captain (3)

"As expected of Her Highness, only someone like her would be able to splurge core stones like this"

Using core stones as bombs, even they had to admit that the power of all these core stones packed in a single barrel was enough to even give them horrors. Their hearts heavy with shock and dread at the sight of such wanton destruction.

The power of the bombs was undeniable, their impact leaving behind a landscape of desolation and despair. As they saw the previously terrifying Tainted Knights unit turn into scorched bodies, even they felt their scalps tingle.

"This was the last of it. From the looks of it, the core stones were able to deal some significant damage to the enemy's lineup. However, it is unlikely that it will be able to finish off those new Tainted knights. We need to also join the battle, let's go"

Blake looked down. On his command, all of them dropped down from the Air Engine, except for a few mages responsible for flying it.

As Blake and the others plummeted towards the capital, each of them used their own abilities to slow down their fall.

BANG... raising a cloud of dirt, they landed on the ground and stood in front of the kingdom's army.

"We will handle it from here. You guys are not their match, swiftly pull back" Blake ordered taking the charge.

At this moment, numerous other individuals who were hiding themselves within the lineup of soldiers, also showed themselves as they stood beside Blake and the others. All of them wore gears of excellent quality and varying colours and shapes.

The insignia they wore on their garbs were also different and came in all kinds of patterns. From this one could tell that these large groups of people all belonged to different factions. What's more, given their auras, they weren't weak either and gave off powerful fluctuations that made them shudder deep down in their hearts.

Who could this group of high level people be other than the adventurers of the tower town? Right now, they have stopped hiding and proceeded with the strategy they were briefed about by Her Highness, the princess.

"Hahaha, Blake you should leave this to our Sword and Shield guild. We will ensure that the princess achieves a flawless victory against these thieves" A man with piercing eyes and a big build, spoke.

"What is the vice guild master of the Sword and Shield saying? Obviously, you should leave this to our Sword of Darkness Guild. The enemy's lineup is strong, it is only appropriate for us to handle it since we owe her highness quite a bit"

Following the big built man, another man stepped forward. This one was a head shorter than the vice guild leader of the sword and Shield guilt. However, the peculiar aura that surrounded his body, told others that he couldn't be underestimated.

At this moment all of them gathered around the general, their number was not even the least bit lower than the elite adventurers who had been hiding and showed their faces right now.

However, that was not all, after the debris and dust clouds from the battlefield settled down, the previous tainted knights who had been besieged by the barrels full of core stones also showed their appearances at this moment and marched forward.

Even those tainted commanders who had been drowned by the explosions earlier, showed their appearances.

Seeing how little they were affected by that powerful bombing it seemed that it didn't do much damage to them.

"Knight Captain..." Burg and the others looked at the commanding presence who strove at the forefront of the tainted commander unit and spoke. Their eyes contained a deep respect and fear for this person.

Despite being bombarded by powerful attacks, the knight captain stood still like a mountain. His muscles had been charred black and half of his skeletal face was exposed. However, the powerful aura he gave off was yet to diminish a little.

While all their attention was on the knight captain, Alvara suddenly unsheathed her sword drawing the attention of Cynthia and the others.

"I cannot allow them to disrespect the honour of my brother anymore" She pointed it at the man standing in front of the tainted commanders and spoke. After which she turned towards Cynthia and asked—

"You Highness, please allow me to engage with the enemy commander. As his blood relative and sister, it is my duty to see the Knight captain off".

The princess looked at her friend and saw the resolve in her eyes. That resolve that burned quietly within her like a raging fire and was simply impossible to quench.

Seeing her like that, Cynthia took a deep and slowly nodded her head. Just as she was about to give her orders, she saw Burg, Marba and the others similarly turn towards her and ask her for permission to engage the knight captain.

"What?!! Why... why are you all... there is no need for you all to risk your lives. This is a family matter, as his little sister, it is my duty to send him off and stop him from being used by the enemy anymore"

Alvara spoke startled by the fact that Burg and the others wanted to join in.

"Haha, what are you saying, Guard Captain? This is not just your personal family matter. Each of us has received training from the knight Captian and we consider him a family too. It pains our hearts as much as yours to see him being used like that. As such, it is our duty too to stop him from killing the people of his own kingdom that he gave his life for to protect" Burg explained, giving a bitter smile.

The others also nodded their heads at those words.
