Celia led a squad of guards through the bustling streets of the capital.
The guards, clad in gleaming silver armor and with sharp swords at their waists, rode in neat, orderly columns on their steeds.
Her face was filled with anxiety, and her brows were furrowed.
He kept urging his horse onward, hurrying towards the Delin residence.
Despite Her Majesty’s explicit statement that there was no need to support Commander Gwen, the commotion at Delin Manor has drawn considerable attention.
In particular, its geographical location is close to the city center.
This means that the surrounding streets must be packed with people at this moment, filled with onlookers.
Celia knew that her primary task was to evacuate the crowd.
To prevent innocent people from being affected and causing irreversible losses.
Soon, a place where wind and snow met fire appeared before her eyes.
As the Delin residence gradually came into view, she saw that the streets several kilometers away were already packed with onlookers.
Amidst the massive crowd, some reporters waving magic stones weaved through the throng.
They desperately tried to get closer to the battlefield to capture more footage.
It seems that whenever a major event occurs in the capital, these reporters swarm in like sharks smelling blood.
In addition, not only ordinary residents, but also some knightly orders stood guard outside the crowd to maintain order.
They guided the residents away in batches, and despite the large number of people, the knights' efforts led to an orderly evacuation.
However, due to the large number of people, it was difficult for the Knights Order alone to evacuate them quickly and completely.
Outside the Knights, a group of members of the Royal Mage Order, dressed in various styles, also stood nearby.
There were even mages holding magic crystal balls among them.
They gathered near the Delin Mansion, using the magic orbs in their hands and their own magic power to try to create a magical barrier around the mansion.
As they chanted, magical light surged through the night sky, intertwining with intricate magic circles and totems.
This eventually formed a transparent barrier that emitted a pale blue fluorescence, completely isolating the area around the Delin residence.
Witnessing all this, Celia finally relaxed a little.
Just as Celia breathed a sigh of relief, a steady and deep voice suddenly rang out beside her:
"Huh? Royal Guards? What brings you here too?"
Upon hearing the sound, her body involuntarily stiffened, and her gaze immediately followed the source of the sound.
A blond man came into her view.
Ten years seem to have left no trace on him; he still retains his youthful appearance.
Upon seeing this familiar figure, Celia quickly bowed in greeting.
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
Duke Reeves glanced at the guards behind Celia.
Clearly, there were only a dozen or so of them.
As if he understood something, he gazed intently at Celia and said with a hint of warning:
"Her Majesty the Queen did not order you to come to our aid, did she?"
Upon hearing this, Celia lowered her head slightly and replied softly:
“I’m sorry, Your Grace, I thought…”
"Did you think that just because Grand Knight Gwen is here, we can rest easy and not need any support?"
Both the Royal Mage Order and the Magic Order are directly under Levi's command.
If he shows up in person, it means that all available resources have been mobilized for this operation.
Levi raised his head slightly, his gaze passing through the barrier to the Delin mansion, which was swept by orange flames and white snow.
Two streaks of crimson and pale light were reflected in his eyes, prompting him to sigh and say:
"Since Aubrey and Victor left, Gwen has undoubtedly become the strongest in the Empire."
“We have all witnessed her destructive power. Even a seemingly simple battle cannot be ignored in terms of its potential impact on the public.”
"Her Majesty the Queen has more to think about than you do."
Upon hearing these words, Celia lowered her head even further.
Just then, the wind and snow outside seemed to intensify.
The chill penetrated the barrier, as if it were hitting them directly in the face.
Celia observed the swirling snow and felt a shiver run through her heart.
The surrounding mages and sorcerers sensed the surge of power within the barrier and ceased to hold back.
Release all the magic power within your body and the magic orb to reinforce the transparent barrier that glows with a pale blue light.
At that moment, Duke Reeves' voice rang out again:
“Gwen’s strength is unlike anyone else’s.”
“Aubrey is a warrior, representing the pinnacle of effort.”
“Victor is a mage, and his magical destructive power is unmatched to this day.”
“But Gwen is a knight.”
His gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier, landing on the figure clad in snow-white armor in the distance.
He watched as Gwen slowly raised the silver greatsword in her hand, facing the crimson flame armor.
A fierce blizzard swept down.
At the same time, Duke Reeves' calm voice rang out amidst the tense atmosphere:
"She represents the ultimate skill of mortals in mastering any weapon."
In the next instant, a massive, pale blade tore through the silent space.
“It represents us ordinary people.”
"It can also sever the spirit."
【Wind and Snow - Conquering Linchongyue】
The Delin estate was completely covered by snow.
The blinding white light seemed to pierce through the sky, enveloping everything in its dazzling brilliance.
The space was torn apart with countless obvious cracks that spread outwards.
The icy chill seemed to transform into a surging tide of white frost, tearing the earth's surface as the massive silver blade fell.
