The flashes of swords and the clash of blades against the night sky continued unabated.
Crimson and pale afterimages darted and weaved across the shattered land, the clanging of metal sounding like a torrential downpour.
Layer upon layer, echoing for a long time.
Delin Manor has been completely transformed into a battlefield where the two engage in fierce combat.
Whether it's the star-studded sky under the night sky or the bare soil on the broken earth.
At this moment, everything became a backdrop to their duel.
The surging air currents erupted with each exchange of blows between the two, the powerful sound waves shaking the heavens.
Even the delicately falling snowflakes were stirred into a chaotic blizzard by this shockwave.
The scorching flames swept across the land, and the heavy metallic roar made the flickering flames go wild, burning even more fiercely.
To all the knights watching, Viktor and Gwen looked like two streaks of light dancing in the night.
Sometimes it flashes in the sky, sometimes it skims close to the ground.
The knights gazed up at the mesmerizing light and shadow, stunned and speechless.
The grip on the sword hilt loosened, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
They stood there in astonishment, not knowing what to do.
They don't know how to help right now.
No, even if I wanted to help, I couldn't!
Let alone intervene, they can't even see it clearly!
As for asking for help?
Are you kidding me? At this rate, they won't even need to call for backup.
Before long, the entire capital city will be drawn to this battle!
As the battle continued, Delin Manor was completely covered by fire and snow.
From the outside, it is impossible to recognize its original appearance.
Fortunately, with the addition of wind and snow, the originally raging flames seemed to become less intense.
Kefla, who was watching from the sidelines, looked up at the fight between the couple, rubbed her temples, and sighed in distress:
"You can fight all you want, but don't tear down the house."
Now, not only is Delin Manor in chaos, but dense crowds have also gathered on the streets in the distance.
Initially, there were only a few residents coming and going.
But drawn by the firelight and the snow, the crowd that had gathered had grown to a huge size.
All the residents stood there dumbfounded, the shock quickly spreading through the crowd.
They looked up at the view above Delin Manor, their eyes glued to it.
The night sky above the mansion was devoid of stars.
Only the swirling snowflakes and the soaring flames intertwined in the air, inseparable.
If you look closely, you can make out two suits of armor in this chaotic sky.
They transformed into streaks of light, clashing fiercely in the air.
One of the suits of armor was pure white, the very same armor worn by the renowned Grand Knight Gwen, a figure known to all in the Royal Knights.
But who is the other person fighting against Grand Knight Gwen?
Just as everyone was puzzled.
The shocking battle that took place at the Delin Mansion spread like wildfire through the streets and rapidly throughout the entire capital.
The Imperial Palace.
A female guard dressed in silver armor and with a long sword at her waist entered the palace.
Celia, her hand on the hilt of her sword, walked through the long, solemn corridors of the palace, deeper into its heart.
As a loyal bodyguard who once followed Aurelion closely, she naturally rose to become the commander-in-chief of the guard after Aurelion ascended to the throne.
Although she no longer needs to be by Aurelion's side at all times, she still enjoys the privilege of having direct access to the Queen.
Of course, Celia was not disappointed by the change of no longer serving as the Queen's personal guard.
The current queen is no longer the fragile girl she once was; she now possesses enough strength to face everything independently.
If you're by the Queen's side and something really happens, it's hard to say who will protect whom.
Celia quickly walked to the door of the Queen's bedroom, knelt down, and respectfully said:
“Celia has important matters to report to Her Majesty the Queen.”
As she finished speaking, the dormitory door slowly opened.
Two maids dressed in classic black and white uniforms approached.
When they saw Celia kneeling outside the door, they returned the greeting with the same respect.
"Captain Celia, His Majesty is aware of your purpose, but please return."
Celia was puzzled and hurriedly called out anxiously:
"Your Majesty, Commander Gwen is engaged in a fierce battle with an unidentified person. The situation is critical, and the Delin Manor is in imminent danger."
"Do we really not need any support?"
Celia was also aware that the recent incident involving a refugee in the capital had caused quite a stir, stirring up trouble between commoners and nobles.
After all, the capital hadn't seen any refugees for a long time.
Ten years have passed, and most of the refugees from the south have long since fled.
Back then, the southern front was breached, and a large number of cultists, along with refugees, infiltrated the capital.
They had been lying low in the empire for some time before suddenly revealing their true nature.
Their appearance killed many of the empire's inhabitants and destroyed many buildings.
It caused considerable casualties and economic losses to the country.
Although they were eventually removed in time, the damage had already been done.
Since then, all refugees entering the capital have had to undergo identity verification.
The sudden appearance of refugees in the capital this time has attracted great attention.
Especially after Knight Commander Gwen took him away, a fierce battle broke out at Delin Manor in just one day.
This led the residents of the capital to wonder if all of this was closely related to that refugee.
Upon learning this news, Celia couldn't help but connect it with the appearance of the refugees.
