I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 131 The Destruction of the Kingdom of Baling

Having a considerable understanding of the various forces in the capital, Lukan immediately led Sua and Dagnite past several knightly squads blocking the Third Ring Road, proceeding upwards according to the organization of the knightly squads they had encountered along the way.

Finally, they found Sir Miles in the eastern part of the second ring road of the capital, where he was receiving reports from the returning knights.

At this time, it was already past midnight, and the sky was beginning to lighten.

Sir Miles, standing at the edge of Knights Square, had a very solemn expression as he flipped through the intelligence reports compiled by the Knights Order, intending to set off to investigate on the spot.

However, at this time,

A voice, deliberately lowered to a level only he could hear, suddenly rang in his ear:

"Sir Miles, His Majesty requests your presence."

Miles shuddered, thinking that the information he had just discovered had brought him to his death.
With his semi-heroic level strength, he hadn't sensed anyone approaching at all. He couldn't imagine what level of assassin the person who suddenly spoke was, but he still put on a stern face and said in a deep voice:

"Who is your king?"

“Wang said that you saw him in the first half of the night.”

Miles was taken aback, then remembered that the only king he had seen in the first half of the night was the Knight King—Suya Pendragon.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, felt even more mysterious about the strength and power of this unassuming knight king.

He still vividly remembers the scene he witnessed in the Silver Crown Court where the Knight King summoned divinely created weapons, but afterwards, anyone with eyes could see that it was impossible.

Only those from the lower and middle classes who have no concept of divinely created weaponry would believe that image.

But whether it's the Knight King's extravagant gambling in the casino or the mysterious subordinates he's revealing now, it all shows that everyone in the capital seems to have greatly underestimated him.

Upon realizing this, Sir Miles immediately asked cautiously:
"Did the king come to see me because of something?"

"Please come aside, sir, my king needs your help."

Miles nodded almost imperceptibly, then used the pretext of dispatching a search mission to divert the knights from the square.
Soon,
Suya emerged from the shadows of a nearby house.

When Miles saw that it was indeed Sua, he finally put aside his doubts and immediately knelt down before the king chosen by Gerry Freyt, the head of the Cador family.
He raised his hand and tapped his breastplate, saying firmly:
"Miles, Vice-Commander of the Royal Guard Knights, salutes you!"

Sua didn't see any subtitles appear or her abilities increase, and she knew that this knight was only verbally pledging his allegiance; his true allegiance was still to Gerry Freyt.

Or rather, it doesn't necessarily require the other party to pledge allegiance. The first binding ability of the Round Table might only be effective if the other party is a Knight of the Round Table.

He immediately helped the other person up and explained his purpose directly:
“Sir Miles, the Knights have sealed off the Third Ring Road. I need to return to my residence in the Fourth Ring Road.”

Miles nodded without asking any further questions, but he probably guessed that the battle that had broken out in Iron Curtain Square was likely related to Suya.

"No problem, I'll arrange the route for you right away."

Then, Sua continued, "Where is Gerry Freyt now?"

"Miss is in the Chamber of Commerce in the Second Ring Road."

"Please have Gerry Frey come to my residence tomorrow at noon. I have something very urgent to discuss with her."

"I will convey it. However, there's something..."

Miles immediately agreed, then his brow furrowed slightly as he prepared to inform the king, who was nominally loyal to the Cador family, of the serious situation he had discovered.

At that moment, in the distance, the figures of several knights rushing back to report appeared.

He immediately changed his tune:

“I had members of the Knights of the Order investigate some previously inaccessible church-controlled areas during the search, and they discovered some very serious situations.”

“This matter is not easy to discuss in detail, Your Highness, Knight King. Tomorrow, I will accompany the young lady to the tavern where you are staying.” Then, Miles pulled a map from his waist and used his finger, dampened with water, to draw a winding route on it.

“The knights on this route are all our men. I will divert them beforehand. Please wait ten minutes before proceeding.”

With Miles' help,

Suya and her two companions passed through the heavily guarded Knights Order without incident and returned to the Fourth Ring, arriving back at the tavern before the civil officials who came to investigate could confirm their check-in information.

Just as the group breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to push open the door to Suya's room on the third floor of the tavern to discuss the events of the night,
Separated by a door panel,
Suya suddenly smelled a strong odor of blood from inside the house!
Then,

"Click!"

The lock on the main gate was turned from the inside, and the wooden door was pulled open.
A beautiful face, cold as ice, appeared before Suya.
Beneath her silver-white hair, a pair of rose-red eyes glared angrily at Suya; it was none other than Mei Li.

Through the crack in the door, Suya could vaguely see a disheveled figure behind her, with a rag stuffed in his mouth and bound hand and foot.

Meili grabbed Suya by the collar, dragged him into the house, pointed at Baling on the floor, who was bound hand and foot and covered in blood, and coldly questioned him:
"What's your relationship with this guy?"

Suya blinked, thinking to herself, "What the hell is this? Why is the invincible Baring Knight being brought back by Meryl in this way?!"
"What kind of relationship?"

Meryl pointed at Baling and said coldly:

"This person destroyed the Fairy Kingdom in order to obtain the Holy Sword Meliaduk."

“And just now, he said he was your knight.”

Suya immediately thought of the holy sword Meliaduk that Baring had previously held, which he had recently handed over to Galahad.

He couldn't help but turn his head slightly to look at Baring.
"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

At this moment, Baling, who was accused of being the murderer of the country and had his mouth stuffed with a rag, started whimpering with a wronged expression.

Suya's lips twitched slightly, and she pointed at Baring, saying:

"Why don't we listen to what he has to say?"

Meryl shook her head, looked at Suya with a determined expression, and asked again:
"Tell me quickly, what is your relationship with him?"

Suya stared at Meryl, feeling that something was off. Although the man in front of him was cold and aggressive, he could vaguely sense that the other party was not actually that angry.

After thinking for a moment, Suya simply admitted:
"That's right, he is my knight."

Upon hearing this, Mary beamed with joy, pulled a bill from her waist bag, and slapped it into Suya's hand.

"That's great, here you go."

"what is this?"

"The list of losses when the Fairy Kingdom was destroyed. Those fairies have been using this to ask me for money every day. Well, since you ordered them to do this, you're in charge of handling it."

"what?"

Suya was stunned for a moment, then picked up the bill and felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the astronomical figure on it.

At this moment, Meryl hurriedly said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. There are benefits to it too. For example, you see, once you pay off a fairy's debt, you can get back the costumes, Noble Phantasms, magic, unique abilities, and even—the Sword in the Lake—that were pledged to that fairy."

“For example, Knight Gawain, as long as you help Bagst repay the souls she owes and rebuild the part of Avalon that she can no longer support, you can help Knight Gawain obtain the Sword of Victory of the Cycle.”

Meryl stared intently at Suya and said in a trembling voice:

"This is absolutely worth every penny, and there's no deception!"
