dark witches rise

Chapter 16 Great Knight

Under everyone's gaze.

Luke looked sad.

His hands gripped the sword of his father, Baron Horn, so hard that even his knuckles turned white.

His eyes passed over everyone present.

After looking at the expressions of everyone present, Luke spoke.

The tone was so heavy and yet so determined.

"The Wolf King's crusade failed."

The crowd suddenly burst into uproar.

Luke ignored the noisy crowd and continued to speak:

"Father, Bob Knight, Sean Knight, Eddie Knight, Dalton Knight..."

Luke stretched out his right hand, palm open and facing up.

Knight Giroud's hands holding the baron's seal shook suddenly.

Why would Luke do such a stupid thing?

If you don’t want to be a baron, can you abdicate in favor of a worthy person?

Although there is only one word difference between knight and great knight, in fact they are very different.

When stimulating vitality and using knight martial arts, the power can even increase several times in an instant!

One big knight can deal with the siege of three high-level knights, while the junior knights can fight ten without any problem.

After Luke nodded, he took out a small box from his side.

"Silla Town is our home, and we must risk our lives to protect Silla Town!"

Luke struck the baron's seal with his sword, leaving a deep sword mark on the baron's seal.

"Does it really need to go to this point?" Knight Giroud asked, looking closely into Luke's eyes.

Even if the wolf plague is finally defeated, the power of Silla Town will decline to its lowest point in history, and the Baron Okomen family will become extremely weak.

And feel sad for those who died in the belly of wolves.

"Um."

People screamed.

However, everyone was a step slower.

As Luke kept chanting one name after another, everyone present fell silent.

Everyone expressed their loyalty to the new baron and the high knight Luke.

If you fail to successfully participate, your territory will be reduced at best, or your title will be deprived at worst.

He opened the box and saw a seal wrapped in the best silk.

If you can obtain territory and become a baron in this life, you will die without regrets, right?

Luke picked up the baron's seal and looked at the three words Okomen engraved on the seal.

Knight Giroud even rushed towards the Baron Seal, intending to protect the Baron Seal with his own body.

"Could it be..."

Seal of the Baron!

In the surprised eyes of everyone, he threw the seal high.

Everyone rushed over immediately and an invisible pressure enveloped them. The people who were loudly swearing allegiance one second immediately became extremely quiet the next second.

"If I hadn't awakened my bloodline and stepped into the realm of a great knight when I was desperate, none of us would have come back alive!"

"Does this mean..."

And damaging the title seal is a serious crime!

It would be fine if something went wrong accidentally, but if he drew his sword and chopped it in full view of everyone?

"Next, the Wolf King will lead the wolves to attack our Silla Town. Are you willing to work with me to resist the wolf disaster and protect Silla Town?" Luke asked.

"Lord Baron Luke, please give us your orders wherever we are needed!"

In this case, can it stop the invasion of other surrounding families?

Why not betray the Okomen family, leave Silla Town, and go to another town to join other families?

"don't want!"

"What!"

Only Roya present could understand Luke's actions.

Luke's eyes fell on a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to himself.

Count Naranja must take personal action to solve it?

Probably because he regretted not being able to rescue more people, and regretting not breaking through to the realm of the Great Knight earlier.

boom!

A small white flame full of life ignited in Luke's palm.

After he nodded slightly, he raised his right hand and pressed it down gently.

There are still many people in the Okomen family who want to sit on the baronetcy.

In this regard, Luke's expression did not change at all.

The baronetcy of the Okomen family was conferred by Count Naranja in Carter City, the ruler of the Silian Province.

The next moment.

"stop!"

"Choose ten elite guards and take this seal and my letter to Carter City to ask for help from Count Naranja." Luke said solemnly.

Even Luke's mother, Lady Sydney, turned pale when she saw the sword marks on the baron's seal.

This cluster of flames is so weak, its temperature is only comparable to the morning sun, but it gives people a warm feeling that can cleanse the mind and body.

Clang!

The crisp sound of drawing a sword sounded.

Because they understand what it means.

"Knight Giroud."

Almost everyone present looked at the baron's seal with intense eyes.

When everyone was confused and wondering what Luke was doing.

"What!"

Hearing Luke call his name, Knight Giroud quickly walked out of the crowd and knelt on one knee in front of Luke.

But after seeing the white flames in Luke's palm and knowing that Luke had stepped into the realm of a great knight, all the dissatisfaction disappeared.

Luke shook his right hand and the white flame went out.

Although many combat forces such as Baron Horn are missing, as long as Luke, the great knight, is here, the strength of the Baron Okomen family has become stronger than before.

No one understood and thought Luke had gone crazy.

When Luke finished reading the names of the sixty-eight people, "They were all dead and buried in the battle with the Wolf King. If not..."

However, after learning that Luke had become the Grand Knight, many people present suddenly changed their minds.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly after learning that Luke became the Grand Knight, and Luke saw them all.

One hundred percent will be deprived of the title!

If you make a slight mistake, you will be deprived of your title or even lose your whole family's head!

"Giroux is waiting for the Baron's instructions!" Knight Giroud lowered his head and said every word.

Slash the title seal with a sword and call for help with the title seal with the sword mark. This is the highest level way to ask for help!

This is an extreme method of asking for help that can only be used when facing a crisis that may threaten the entire province of Silian.

This man is Baron Horn's younger brother and Luke's second uncle. During the absence of Baron Horn and others, he temporarily manages Silla Town as an acting baron.

This is the most important meeting for all nobles in the entire province of Silian.

Faced with Knight Giroud's accusation, Luke was neither angry nor explained.

The Great Knight is not only able to awaken his bloodline, but his physical strength exceeds the limits of the human body.

When they just learned that Baron Horn and others were all killed in battle, many people felt alienated.

"You, you..." Knight Giroud held the baron's seal in both hands and glared at Luke, "Do you know what you did? The baron's seal is something more precious than the baron's life!"

Although he had clearly reached the realm of great knight that countless knights dreamed of, Luke's tone was full of regret and sadness.

A ray of cold light struck at the baron's seal in mid-air.

Every three years, he must take the baron's seal with him and go to Count Naranja's mansion in Carter City to attend the meeting of nobles.

No one present was a country boy, and everyone knew what the white flame in Luke's palm meant.

Could it be that this wolf plague is powerful enough to threaten the Silian Province?

"We will follow Lord Luke to the death!"

More importantly, the Great Knight can stimulate vitality and use it to fight!

"It's more serious than you think." Luke responded.

"……I see."

Giroud took a deep breath, stood up, and quickly left the hall with his title seal.

After a while, the sound of distant horse hooves was heard from outside the castle.
