...

Gwen stood firm amidst the wind and snow, facing a group of Northern knights.

Her silver armor gleamed in the sunlight, emitting a flickering radiance.

The knights, gazing at the female warrior they deeply respected, were stunned to see her now drawing her sword against them.

The Delin family crest on the silver armor now seemed cruelly ironic.

"L-Lady Gwen..."

"Lady Gwen, what is the meaning of this?!"

The knights' faces flushed red, veins bulging on their necks.

As if roaring, they questioned Gwen about her apparent betrayal.

"That's Viktor! He's the enemy of the Delin family!"

"I know," Gwen replied coldly.

Gwen's silver hair danced continuously in the air, but to the knights' eyes, it resembled writhing silver serpents.

The knights frantically questioned Gwen, but not one of them dared to step to the front of the formation.

They didn't dare; they wouldn't wager their lives.

Every knight present knew very well.

Gwen, with her third-tier strength, had become the captain of the Imperial Royal Knight Order.

Her power was not to be underestimated.

Most importantly, everyone was extremely wary of that other presence.

Viktor Kravina.

A fourth-tier mage, yet an existence that even the Delin family head, Angus, couldn't defeat.

For most of the knights, they had neither the qualifications nor the ability to confront these two before them.

They could only huddle in the crowd, letting out roars from their hearts.

But there were always exceptions.

A robust knight slowly raised his shield and, gripping his blade, gradually walked to the front, facing Gwen.

"Lady Gwen."

"Since they don't dare, let me ask."

The knight who stepped forward had a glimmer of determination in his eyes, his body like a granite boulder emanating a powerful aura of tenacity.

It was a terrifying presence that people could clearly feel, radiating intense heat.

Someone among the knights recognized him; the one standing before all the knights was one of the most outstanding disciples of Master Angus in the Delin family.

His body trembled continuously, as if restraining his fury, his eyes wide open.

In this land of the North, powerful knights were not few and far between.

Angus's extensive teaching always produced many strong knights.

But he was merely strong, after all.

Gwen remained unmoved, her aura like thousand-year-old ice, colliding with the knight's presence.

The knight frowned slightly, feeling the opponent's powerful pressure climbing up his body.

But he didn't flinch and took another step forward.

However, almost at the same moment he took this step.

Instantly, a faint red aura floated in the sky, black stars with sparks constantly trembling above the snow-covered plain.

Behind Viktor, a red fire dragon slowly materialized.

The giant dragon opened its huge maw, seemingly enraged.

The next second, the flames surging in the dragon's mouth continuously overflowed.

An extremely terrifying flame burst forth from the dragon's maw.

The powerful, scorching fire forced that knight to retreat several meters, compelling him to stand once again at the front of the knight formation.

Between him and Gwen, a violently burning flame separated the two.

The muscular knight's forehead was beaded with sweat, unclear whether from fear or the excessive heat from the fire.

At this moment, an absurd thought arose in the hearts of all the knights.

To reason with them...

Gwen looked at them coldly.

"It seems there are no objections."

She thrust her blade fiercely into the flame-engulfed ground, solemnly issuing her order before the knights:

"I declare,"

"The arrest warrant for the Imperial Fourth-Tier Mage, Viktor Kravina, is hereby revoked, effective immediately!"

She enunciated each word very clearly, reaching the ears of every knight.

Hearing Gwen's order, a thousand knights remained silent.

In Gwen's indisputable tone, they heard threat and firmness.

Everyone felt as if a force was controlling them.

They had to obey Gwen's order.

In the daze of howling wind and snow, they felt that.

The Lady Gwen known to all seemed to have changed.

Everyone slowly lowered their weapons, putting shields on their backs and sheathing their swords.

But...

"Gwen, the arrest warrant cannot be revoked."

Accompanied by a hoarse voice, everyone's gaze turned to look behind.

Upon seeing him, the knights all made way.

It was a white figure sitting in a wheelchair.

Or rather, being pushed over.

He was wrapped in white bandages, similarly only exposing his eyes and mouth.

The wheelchair slowly stopped in front of the knight formation, and Jaxu looked at Gwen before him, slowly exhaling a breath.

With Angus unconscious, he was now the most influential person in the Delin family.

"Once revoked, it would allow the real culprit to escape punishment."

Hearing Jaxu's words, Gwen's eyes instantly turned cold.

"You, on what grounds do you say Viktor is the culprit?"

All the knights' gazes were on Jaxu, as if trying to see some hope from him.

Jaxu sighed, seemingly finding even this simple action extremely taxing.

"Father, he's already dead."

As the words fell, the wind and snow instantly covered the sky, the surging white completely obscuring the azure sky.

Plunging into wild howling and singular silence.

......

At this moment, Kevla was in the western part of the Northern Frontier.

She looked at the huge castle estate before her, her fists tightly clenched.

This was already the fourth estate she had visited in these days.

With things developing to this point, she had no choice but to seek out this great knight of the western Northern Frontier.

The Delin family did not have absolute control over the Northern Frontier.

They had established clear territorial planning on this land of the Northern Frontier.

Under the protection of the knight families, they had carved out many portions.

Apart from the gentry and wealthy holding a part of the land, the remaining territory was all distributed to the excellent knights under Angus.

The knight's family recognized Kevla and proactively let her enter the knight's mansion first, to wait in the conference room.

Soon, a knight wearing a thick white fur cloak sat down in front of Kevla.

"Knight Commander Mark."

Seeing the arrival, Kevla quickly stood up and bowed deeply.

"If it isn't Miss Kevla!"

"Please, sit, no need for formalities."

"What brings Miss Kevla to visit me today?"

The knight named Mark had a smile on his face, seeming as delighted as if he had seen an old friend.

The Knight Commander personally brewed a cup of tea and placed it on the redwood tea table in front of Kevla.

However, Kevla did not pick it up, only calmly saying.

"Mr. Mark, I won't beat around the bush."

"You should know the reason for my visit here."

Hearing Kevla's directness, Mark's face showed a hint of difficulty.

The person before him was the eldest daughter of the Delin family.

Theoretically speaking, when Angus and Jaxu were unconscious, Kevla's words were equivalent to the family head speaking.

But Kevla herself was not a knight, lacking sufficient prestige within the Delin family.

Moreover, Jaxu had already issued an arrest warrant once before.

Now that the problem was pushed to his hands, Mark felt some hesitation.

"I know, Miss Kevla, you've already visited many estates, the news has long reached us here."

"But the arrest warrant for Viktor is not something we can just revoke as we please."

This matter had already been brought up to the royal capital.

The intention of those noble ministers in the royal capital was very clear, this was a family matter between the Kravina and Delin families.

"In other words, the royal capital is tacitly approving this matter for now."

Mark poured himself a cup of tea and downed it in one gulp.

He blinked his eyes and exhaled a hot breath.

Indeed, he couldn't be rash about this matter.

Unless the old master himself woke up and revoked the arrest warrant, it would be hard to convince the knights.

"Moreover, Miss Kevla, we just want to bring Viktor back. No one will harm him."

If Viktor was truly guilty, he should be judged by the emperor, not by their Delin family.

So, the arrest warrant was merely a warning measure.

Hearing Mark's evasion, Kevla laughed coldly.

"Every lord has the same rhetoric."

"But which of you dares to take action to capture Viktor."

This was the truth.

Although Viktor's arrest warrant was flying all over the Northern Frontier.

There really wasn't any knight order commander who dared to mobilize troops to capture him.

Only the common people of the Northern Frontier, upon seeing the arrest warrant, were filled with righteous indignation.

His current reputation could hardly be considered good.

Kevla could hear dirty words spat out by those honest Northern men every day.

Even when children cried at night, the most common thing their mothers said was.

'If you keep crying, I'll let Viktor take you away.'

The effect was very obvious, the children would stop crying immediately.

In the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in the Northern Frontier, even though Viktor was a fourth-tier mage, he naturally couldn't compare to the great knight Angus whom they praised.

"Miss Kevla, I really can't make this decision."

"Is it that you can't make the decision, or that you don't want to?"

Kevla kept questioning Mark, the light in her eyes growing increasingly cold.

Mark lowered his head guiltily, his gaze shifting to one side of the room, avoiding Kevla's eyes.

At this moment, a knight suddenly burst into the conference room.

"Knight Commander! Something's happened!"

"News has come from the Far North!"

Hearing that news had arrived, both Mark and Kevla abruptly stood up, almost simultaneously uttering a word:

"Speak!"

The knight, seeing Kevla, trembled slightly, his voice becoming somewhat unsteady:

"The barbarians have been completely annihilated! It was done by those people from the Pale Mage Association, and moreover..."

"Moreover what?! Speak quickly!"

The knight, startled by Mark's shout, shuddered:

"Moreover... they had the help of demons."

"What?"

Demons helping humans, this matter had basically reached the ears of the Northern knights under the vigorous promotion of the Pale Mage Association.

Mark was dumbfounded, and so was Kevla.

Demons... helped humans?

Kevla's body began to tremble continuously.

She couldn't believe it.

As a demon hunter, Kevla had seen many demons.

She had never seen, nor even heard of, demons actively helping humans.

Moreover, she hadn't received any prior mission, why would a demon appear in the Northern Frontier?

Many questions began to flash in her mind.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Kevla's mind.

Viktor!

She immediately stood up and headed towards the exit.

Demons should not appear, she needed to find Viktor and get a clear answer.

The knight ignored Kevla's hasty departure, but his voice raised a few degrees.

"Also... the Delin main family has sent a call for support."

"They... have found Viktor."

At this point, the knight paused.

Kevla suddenly turned around, looking at him coldly.

"Continue speaking!"

The knight lowered his head, straining his voice to continue reporting:

"Viktor returned with Lady Gwen, Lady Gwen intended to revoke Viktor's arrest warrant."

"But in the end, Young Master Jaxu intervened."

Mark frowned deeply, and even Kevla stood frozen in place.

Jaxu? Wasn't he severely injured and bedridden?

Somehow, at this moment, everyone seemed to catch a whiff of the pungent smell of crisis.

Mark hurriedly inquired.

"What about now, what exactly is going on?!"

"Young Master Jaxu prevented the revocation of Viktor's arrest warrant."

"But..."

Mark suddenly grabbed his collar, loudly questioning:

"Tell me the main point, damn it!"

That knight, as if completely drained, his legs losing all support, was completely held up by Mark's hand.

"The Great Knight Angus is dead!"

"He died... at Viktor's hands..."

....
