He is the strongest and most solid guardian shield of the Grant family, the great nobles of the kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If given a choice, they did not want to fight Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means, among them, at least half might die at his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for the response, Theodore placed the two children he was holding on the ground and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hanna, Turner, when I fight the enemy, you must pay attention, find the opportunity to use the tools to escape early, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Theodore, let’s go together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl named Hanna tightly grasped Theodore’s clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although extremely terrified, she still spoke earnestly to Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little boy next to her, whose face appeared somewhat pale, was younger and couldn’t speak, but he nodded as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we go together, there’s no chance. Remember not to look back after leaving here, go to other places outside the Samuel Kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore glanced at the two of them and sighed slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, you two must rely on yourselves, be strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna and Turner didn’t say much, only clenched their fists tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna looked at Theodore and involuntarily grasped the red gemstone necklace on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the black robes was not swayed by Theodore’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Theodore, sighed, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We naturally trust the Steel Knight’s promise, but the master’s orders cannot be disobeyed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The evil bloodline of the Grant family must be exterminated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, the leader of the black-robed figures waved his hand, and all the black-robed figures immediately charged towards Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the black-robed figures, like phantoms, rushed fiercely at Theodore, tightly surrounded in the center, from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dim light, their forms appeared particularly eerie, their black robes fluttering in the wind, making a rustling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons glimmered coldly in their hands, emitting a chilling aura in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes revealed ferocity and determination, intent on putting Theodore to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore stood firm at the center of the encirclement, his posture upright like a pine, yet his eyes showed no trace of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a gray longsword and shield appeared in his hands, emitting a cold and powerful aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a fierce shout, he slashed hard towards the leader of the black-robed figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slash had an imposing momentum, with a sound of breaking wind, as if it wanted to tear the air apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the black-robed figures reacted extremely swiftly, retreating several steps, his form agile like a snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the power of Theodore’s strike, he dared not take it head-on, so he quickly let his companions block Theodore’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those companions, though somewhat fearful, still braced themselves to charge forward to complete their mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, a black longbow appeared in the leader’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly drew the bowstring, which arced like a full moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black arrow was placed on the string, its tip flashing with a cold light, then shot swiftly towards Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore, with eyes like a torch, kept a close watch on the swiftly approaching arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longsword in his hand formed a curtain of swords in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud \"clang,\" the black arrow was cut in half by Theodore’s single slash, the broken pieces falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a black-robed figure took the opportunity to approach Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger in his hand flickered coldly, aimed at Theodore’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore reacted swiftly, swinging the shield in his left hand fiercely, smashing it into the face of the approaching assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figure only saw darkness, felt intense pain on his face, and then fell directly out of stealth state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole person flew backward like a kite with a broken string, his face covered in blood, and he fainted directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the black-robed figures, seeing this, felt secretly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While directing his subordinates to continue entangling Theodore, he turned his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Hanna and Turner behind Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were watching everything happening in front of them in terror, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that as long as they killed these two children, their mission would be complete, and they wouldn’t have to continue fighting this tenacious opponent, Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, kill those two kids first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he loudly ordered, directing part of his subordinates to charge towards Hanna and Turner behind Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figures, following the command, rushed at the two children like wolves in pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>",906,"2026-06-03T10:59:06.081Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.836Z",1,"novelbin.me","d6fdc946b87516aa990ac64484a9a62b9d2a62ce427ed13f73211d12e68b9079","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1652","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1400",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
