After closing the door, Martin said to Betan: "Pack your things immediately, leave the castle, and go to the Sword Oath City to find a place to stay. You must keep this communication crystal and wait for my message." After Martin finished speaking, he gestured for Betan to leave.

Betan followed the order and left. Under the confused and surprised gazes of his companions, he quietly packed up his belongings. Without stopping or greeting anyone, he walked straight out of the castle and gradually disappeared.

After Betan left, Martin went to the window, looked at the sky outside, and did not move for a long time.

In the room containing the large communication crystal, a message suddenly appeared, not in the form of an image. It read: Commander White was seriously injured and unconscious, the Tenth Legion had suffered a crushing defeat, the deputy commander, half of the legion's members, and an ordinary legion had been completely annihilated. At this moment, some of the Tenth Legion's knights were escorting the severely injured Commander Walt towards the Sword Oath City.

Everyone stared at the message, stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. After a brief silence, the knights and their squires, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly stood up and ran out of the room in panic, delivering the message to their respective family members.

As the news spread, the situation quickly escalated. After receiving the news, Karen immediately went to the giant communication crystal and sent the battle report on the Frost Zero Plain to the Royal Capital Council.

After receiving the message from the Council, the King immediately connected with Marquis Roderick via video. As soon as the video was connected, the King solemnly recounted the tragic battle on the Frost Zero Plains. Marquis Roderick's expression of shock quickly gave way to determination, and he responded without hesitation, "I will immediately order the five knightly orders stationed in Valley City to rush to the Sword Oath City for support."

After hearing this, the king frowned slightly and gave a serious warning, "Keep Karen informed and stop spreading this news. The current situation is dire, and spreading this news will only cause unnecessary panic among the people. This incident has a huge impact, and the Royal Capital Council will definitely make appropriate arrangements. Let's stabilize the situation first."

Inside the palace, the Kingdom's parliamentary debates were resounding and intense. Representatives from various factions held their own views, fiercely arguing over the situation and countermeasures. Proposals were repeatedly proposed and rejected, and the air was filled with anxiety. After a long and difficult negotiation, the parliament finally reached a consensus.

The Speaker of the Parliament handed the Parliament's bill to the King with a stern look. After reading it, the King pondered for a while and immediately gave an order, ordering the Royal Third, Fifth, and Sixth Legions stationed near the royal capital, and two Griffin Knights to march north immediately. The court's Golden Mage accompanied them, and Prince Charlemagne Herbert was the commander-in-chief.

Then, he quickly walked to the communication crystal and manipulated it with his hands. Command after command was transmitted through the crystal to every noble territory in the north. The king personally delivered the order, strictly demanding that all knights under his command must be assembled at the Sword Oath City as soon as possible.

They must hold out until the Kingdom's army arrives. At the same time, they are warned that if the Sword Oath City is breached, those who fail to reach the Sword Oath City will be ruthlessly stripped of their noble titles and their territories will be confiscated.

On Karen's side, the communication crystal lit up in time, and the deep, powerful voice of Marquis Roderick was heard. "Karen, the situation is critical. You must maintain order in the Sword Oath City. Stop the spread of this information immediately. Do not let the people panic. Do you understand?"

Karen's expression froze, and he responded to the communication crystal: "Don't worry, Your Excellency the Marquis, I will do as you say!" After hanging up the phone, Karen immediately began to deploy and arranged personnel to control public opinion in the city, striving to stabilize people's hearts.
