Knight Lords: Infinite Simulation and the Path of Light

Chapter 25 Clever Haven
Hmm~~~~
"Look at your shocked expression, it seems I was right."

Haven looked smugly at the man in black who stood there dumbfounded, then remembered that he had almost died, and couldn't help but mock him.

"You don't even have a decent magical artifact. You're obviously not an important spy. Such a lack of planning and preparation gives off a stingy vibe. You can't be the great lord of the South. Tsk tsk tsk, no taste. You're even following a poor wretch."

This time, not only was Dalot shocked, but everyone else gathered around also looked stunned. Count Mori couldn't help but applaud as he listened to Havent's analysis.

"Hahahaha~ Damn it, I really regret it. It's such a pity I couldn't kill you."

Cough~ cough~ cough~
As Dalot shuddered violently, a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His eyes quickly became bloodshot as he glared fiercely at the two counts. However, in his last breath, he stared intently at Haven until he breathed his last and his head drooped.

Haven's heart pounded wildly as Dalot looked at her with that final gaze. It wasn't like she was the one who killed him; why did he look at her like that, haunting her even as a ghost?
"Hand him over to the guards and check him again to see if he has anything else that can prove his identity."

"Search his place thoroughly, Cecilia, you don't mind, do you?"

Viscount Cecilia, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Haven's words, became anxious again when Earl Hyland asked him questions.

He glanced at the Earl of Hylan furtively and, finding no clue in his expression, quickly replied.

“No problem, no problem, Balia! You will cooperate with Count Hylan’s investigators during the search, and also give a detailed description of this damned guy’s activities over the past six months.”

A knight in black armor stepped forward upon hearing Cecilia's command.

"Alright, Haven, go back and pack your things, then come to the conference room later."

After they finished speaking, Earl Hyland and Earl Morley turned and left the scene. Watching everyone go about their business, Haven, who had fallen flat on his face, shrugged speechlessly. Every early riser is bound to have bad luck. What a mess.

In the bathroom, Haven lay in the bathtub, reliving what had just happened.

'Hiss~ That looks like the move Nagre the Red Dragon used to save me, wow~ that's kind of cool, how did I learn that?'

Haven's face was half submerged in the water, and a long string of bubbles floated to the surface of the bathtub.
'Hmm~ I think that's how it was.'

Haven pushed off with both feet and surfaced. He should have focused his mind, gathering energy in his chest cavity, and then exhaling through his throat and mouth.

"Vo, Si, Luo, Sa"

As Haven successfully activated the Unyielding Force, a powerful thrust appeared, instantly blowing away whatever was in front of him.

Hearing the commotion, Ankut rushed in with his guards. There he saw Havent staring at the bathroom in shock, his bare bottom exposed. The bathroom looked like it had been hit by a typhoon, a complete mess.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Seeing everyone staring at him, Haven first scratched his head awkwardly, surprised that his attempt had actually succeeded. Then, as if realizing something, he quickly covered his penis and said in a flustered voice...

"Get out, get out, it's okay, I'm fine~ Everyone get out."

Hearing the young master's order to leave, everyone quickly retreated.

"Wait, Ancourt, get me some clothes, I can't find them."

会议 室

When Haven arrived, everyone was already there. He waved to them and quickly slipped to his seat. Earl Morrie, seeing everyone was present, cleared his throat and said...

"I won't repeat the current situation in our North. Now I'll talk about the main points of today's meeting."

As he spoke, he walked to a huge map, with the entire Northern Territory written in the upper left corner. Count Morrie picked up a stick and pointed to the area marked with a red circle.

"Although the Church of Death left the North, it left behind a large number of ghouls in some of our territories."

If we don't clear these ghouls out, our areas will not be able to recover, and there is also the risk of ghouls spreading and wreaking havoc in the North.

Therefore, I discussed with Earl Hylan that we will establish the Northern Guardian Legion. All lords, regardless of whether they have been affected by the ghouls, will be required to participate. Similarly, we will draw upon the White Lion Second Legion from the Amar Line and the Mountain Third Heavy Swordsmen to form the Northern Guardian Legion.

After Count Morley finished speaking, Viscount Hammer, who was sitting to the side, asked...

"Lord Mori? We've withdrawn two legions from the Amar Line. Won't that lead to a shortage of defenders on the Amar Line?"

Count Morrie paused for a moment, then slowly said...
Yes, but we have no other choice.

I believe you all already know that the Dawn Guards stationed outside the city have left.

Yesterday, Aurelion, the commander of the Dawnguard, offered to take up residence in our territory, which had been breached by the ghouls, to help dispel the death aura and assist in the reconstruction of the territory.

However, we firmly refused. Originally, the Eternal Flame had long coveted our Northern Territory, and normally they would have tried every means to stay here.

But according to the guards' reports, the dawn guards outside the city packed up their tents and left at daybreak, and the scout cavalry reported that they had fled in the direction the Church of Death had taken.

As Earl Morrie spoke of the Dawnguard, Haven's mind kept replaying that annoying, bright-smiling man.

'That shouldn't be happening, they just left like that? It doesn't make sense.'

"So they followed the Church of the Death to Ugarama?"

Count Maurice glanced at Havent, who had asked the question, and nodded.
"Possibly. The scout cavalry are still tracking them, but whatever the Dawnguard wants to do, we need to resolve the problems within the North first. Then we'll see what tricks they have up their sleeves."

After a pause, seeing that no one spoke, Earl Morley continued.
"Of course, establishing a guardian legion is not a simple matter. Earl Hylan and I will prepare a detailed plan for His Majesty to seek his support."

During this period, Earl Hylan will lead the White Lion Fourth Legion, which has returned from troop rotation, as the main force, with other lord troops as support, to clear out the outskirts of several territories occupied by ghouls.

Of course, your achievements in leading troops to suppress the rebellion will be counted as normal military merits.

This is a turbulent time, and any unexpected event could cause great harm to our northern border.

I urge everyone to stay focused, unite, and do everything in our power to stabilize the situation in the North.

Having said that, he gave a knightly salute to the nobles present.

The nobles immediately stood up from their seats and pounded their right hands hard against their chests.
"Glory belongs to the North."
