Chapter 528: The Army Crossing the Border

Outside the Jinyu Palace, Asenuo and other ministers of the Kingdom walked out, looking up at the setting sun in the west and the few red clouds stained by the horizon.

"This scene is just like the Auduin Kingdom now; it has already reached its twilight years."

Asenuo looked at the Legal Minister, Texas, beside him, "You just jumped out to stop His Highness; given his personality, your days ahead will be very difficult."

Texas shrugged indifferently, "My good friend Aoke was arranged by His Majesty to serve as a teacher for His Highness for a period of time. He didn't return for this year's annual celebration, and there have been no letters; I fear..."

"You had better think about yourself; once His Highness officially inherits the throne, I fear you won't be able to keep your position as Legal Minister."

"I have already thought it through."

Texas smiled helplessly, "When I go back today, I will have my children and grandchildren go to the Jistana Duchy, or simply take refuge in the Wubei Territory. If something really happens, at least the clan won't be wiped out."

"Going to the Wubei Territory? Forget it."

Lude said with a smile, "Looking at this posture, Luoning's treason will be confirmed. War is destined to ignite there; you might as well seek the protection of the Valjisi Duchy."

"Oh, give it a rest!"

Texas laughed and scolded, "If I remember correctly, your daughter Mixi is with Luoning. What, are you going to write a letter now to have her come back?"

"This is His Majesty's arrangement!"

Lude said, "The Cox Family always obeys His Majesty's arrangements."

"Alright, alright."

Asenuo sighed, "Don't be too anxious; let's first see what Luoning's reaction is. Anyone with eyes can see this is a trap. I wonder if he will come?"

"If he dares to come after this, I would truly admire him!"

When they left the Jinyu Palace and returned to their respective manors and mansions, they only then learned that the current Jinyu City, Niujiao Bay, and other places were all spreading the news that Luoning had killed His Majesty Bruno, causing an uproar.

It was obvious that Jialete had spread the news a step ahead of time, likely with the goal of ruining Luoning's reputation and forcing the entire country to treat him as an enemy.

It is just that in this society, no matter how the common people discuss or boil over, as long as those at the top do not make a decision, the influence of public opinion is not as great as one might imagine.

Except for those who had already firmly sided with Jialete, most nobles were likely still holding a wait-and-see attitude; after all, they had witnessed Luoning's strength with their own eyes.

If Luoning were at a disadvantage in this incident, many would likely follow the trend and respond to the Crown Prince, joining the great army to crusade against the Wushan Family.

Conversely, if Luoning showed sufficient strength during this turmoil, the onlookers would continue to wait and see for a while.

Once a Blazing Sun Knight goes mad, the castles of ordinary nobles cannot resist at all. Compared to carving up the Wushan Family, they would consider the risk of being the nail that sticks out and gets hammered down.

Luoning had already arrived at Miwu City, and he and Ruidar came to the border of the Kingdom together.

As his Mental Power covered the Shanlin below, Luoning had clearly sensed the situation of the enemy troops hidden by the trees.

"There are over ten thousand people below. Excluding ordinary people, the number of Transcendental ones indeed amounts to the establishment of three Knight Orders."

"Judging from the energy fluctuations on them, there should be one Silver Moon Knight and seven Meteor Knights; their overall quality is actually not bad."

Ruidar scanned the area below. Although his level as a Magician had reached the Magus Level, his Mental Power could not be projected, and he lacked Fire Attribute perception-type Magic, so he could not clearly grasp the situation below.

"My Lord, with our strength, we are enough to sweep through the three Knight Orders below. Shall we take action directly?"

Even if these people were all Flame Seal Knights capable of erupting with a higher level of strength, they were still no match for two Legendaries.

If nothing else, Luoning casting a Jiu Ji Moha Destruction Storm would be enough to tear the Knight Orders below to shreds.

"I could, but I am curious about the purpose of this group of people. No matter how you look at it, they don't seem like they are in a hurry to attack."

Luoning looked up at the sky. It was still two or three hours until dark. In a normal march, they would not set up camp at this time, but this group below had already stopped and were preparing to spend the night in the forest.

Moreover, so many people under Aruba had been killed by Luoning earlier; did they want to attack Miwu City with a force of this level?

"It is indeed a bit strange."

Ruidar frowned, "Perhaps they are waiting for other teams from Moore City? Or, is there other support?"

Reinforcements?

Looking around, the only city of any scale on the enemy's front line was Moore City. Where would their reinforcements come from?

Could it be that they were waiting for some noble in the Auduin Kingdom behind Miwu City to rebel, and then launch a pincer attack?

"Let's go grab their Regiment Commander and ask; then we will know."

As Luoning spoke, he flew straight toward the forest below.

It was not that he was too arrogant; it was that his and Ruidar's strength allowed them to be unscrupulous in front of three Knight Orders.

At this moment, the three Regiment Commanders of the Moore City Knight Orders were gathered in an An'an, drinking hot wine in large gulps. Although it tasted satisfying, they were all complaining.

"I don't know what those above are doing, actually making us use this little force to provoke Miwu City. If Luoning brings people out, wouldn't we all die in the wilderness?"

"That's right. Great General Aruba died at Luoning's hands. With our level, I estimate he wouldn't even need to make a move; he could just arrange for a few of his subordinate knights to deal with us."

"I feel that after His Majesty Tailuo ascended the throne, many orders seem like nonsense; there is not a shred of the wisdom of the former King..."

Although the three of them were Regiment Commanders, they were still only Honorary Knights. In the past, they would certainly have wanted to rely on merit and war to expand their influence and climb to the upper echelons.

But they were not stupid; facing an enemy they could not defeat, they would also complain and hesitate.

Yet, just as the three were talking, a terrifying force descended from the sky. The resulting gale directly tore the sturdy tent open and blew it away, exposing the three of them completely.

The three were shocked, using their hands to block the gale while struggling to observe their surroundings.

At this moment, under the sweeping gale, the entire camp was turned upside down and in chaos.

After Along while, the violent wind gradually dissipated. The three regained their senses, still feeling lingering fear.

But when they saw two figures slowly descending from the air, a terrifying and dreadful emotion once again shrouded their hearts.

"You... who are you?"

Sangboen's voice trembled slightly. He was a Silver Moon Knight and also had the ability to soar. But the two people before him were completely different from the soaring of Silver Moon or Blazing Sun.

From the two of them, he could not see any fluctuations of Battle Qi or Magic.

What kind of ability was this?

"This is the Conqueror, Duke Luoning."

Ruidar introduced, "Although you have many people, I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise the consequences will be beyond your imagination."

Sweat dripped from Sangboen's forehead; in all his years of fighting, he had never encountered an enemy commander or lord who would come alone to the enemy's position.

Yet, he had no choice but to believe Ruidar's warning.

These two... were dangerous!

"Everyone, do not approach, stay away from here!"

Sangboen ordered loudly, and the members of the Knight Order who had been gathering toward this spot were momentarily at a loss.

"Did you not hear the commander's order? Why are you still standing there?"

The other two Regiment Commanders shouted.

What a joke; they were only seven or eight paces away from two Blazing Sun Knights, and if things went wrong, they would die on the spot—these fellows really had no sense of the situation.

Luoning glanced at the space between the three men's eyebrows; there were no Flame Seals, and there were no abnormal energy fluctuations on their bodies.

"You are quite sensible."

Luoning said with a smile, "I am very curious, how do you plan to use these three Knight Orders to attack my Miwu City?"

"No, no, no!"

"Lord Duke, please do not misunderstand, we have no intention of attacking Miwu City!"

"Yes, my lord, we were just... just here for fun..."

Luoning glared at the Meteor Knight who said the last part, "You have a fine sense of leisure, Excellency; I would like to know your name."

"Ka... Kadun!"

This Meteor Regiment Commander hung his head and said listlessly.

He was also cursing himself for his stupidity; bringing three Knight Orders out for fun—how could he have said such an idiotic thing? Was he brainless?

"Kadun, that is also a good name."

Luoning said, "Since you say you are not here to attack my Miwu City, then how do you explain this act of crossing the border?" (End of chapter)
