A cool breeze swept through the clouds, and hazy sunlight filtered through the misty autumn clouds, casting its glow upon the Royal Capital Knights.
It shone on countless knights, reflecting a radiant, clear light.
The imperial knights were already lined up and ready for battle, longswords at their waists, each piece of armor clinging tightly to their bodies, and the plumes on their helmets fluttering gently in the autumn wind.
The entire knightly corps exuded a sharp and serious aura.
They had originally planned to depart last night.
But for some reason, His Majesty suddenly announced that the operation would be rescheduled for this morning.
This left the knights present quite confused.
Nevertheless, the Cavaliers were quite satisfied with the decision.
Because they could postpone their operation by one night, they were able to get a good night's sleep and recharge for the upcoming mission.
Who wants to go out and work overtime late at night?
Now, they are full of energy and just waiting for Grand Knight Commander Gwen to give the order to lead them on their journey.
Before long, the crisp sound of metal armor clashing and the sound of longswords rubbing against armor reached the ears of all the knights present.
Upon hearing these sounds, all the knights turned their heads in the direction from which the sounds were coming.
At that moment, a woman clad in silver knight's armor, with flowing silver hair, was walking towards the knights with unhurried steps.
Her expression was serious, she rarely smiled, and her brows revealed a cold and authoritative air.
Splash—
Upon seeing Gwen's figure, the knights immediately became extremely alert, bringing their legs together and standing ramrod straight.
Gwen quickly approached the knights and announced the new decision to them:
"You should all already know the details of this mission, but I still need to emphasize,"
"Although we only need to conduct an investigation this time, the level of danger should not be underestimated,"
"I demand that every knight be on high alert and give it his all."
"In addition, I have brought in an outside helper to assist our Knights' investigation."
Upon hearing this, the knights were immediately filled with curiosity.
Knight Commander Gwen is so powerful, why does she need outside help?
And isn't Commander Gwen usually the most serious about his work? Why did he suddenly think of calling in outside help today?
So, who exactly is this foreign player...?
While the knights were still wondering, another sudden sound of footsteps drew their attention.
They turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
As a result, what came into their view was a figure that felt very familiar and left a deep impression on them.
Suddenly, all the knights present widened their eyes.
The unspoken questions in their minds were instantly dispelled by intense shock, and everyone froze.
Viktor!?
As mentioned before, in the capital, Victor is a household name.
Especially in the Knights,
Because of the Knight Commander's marital relationship with Victor, they were even more familiar with this powerful and mysterious mage.
After all, you often hear Knight Commander Gwen muttering Viktor's name when she's lost in thought.
It's easy to see the loving relationship between the couple.
So much so that although Victor was not a knight, he enjoyed extremely high respect within the Knights.
Soon, Victor stood beside Gwen.
Upon seeing this, the knights realized what was happening.
Could it be that Victor is the outside help that Commander Gwen called in?
They are just too lucky!
What is Viktor's strength?
The entire empire… no, he is the youngest fourth-tier mage in the world!
Fourth tier! Fourth tier! How many fourth tiers are there in the entire kingdom?
In particular, he is a mage, a much rarer and more uncommon profession!
It seems their safety is now guaranteed for this mission.
Even if you go, it's just a formality.
No wonder, given that the usually serious and independent Knight Commander Gwen made an exception and requested outside help today.
They're not strangers, what's wrong with asking your own husband to come and help?
Thinking of this, the knights couldn't help but start fantasizing.
Many knights began to whisper among themselves, their emotions running high, some even so agitated they nearly lost their footing.
Seeing this, Gwen frowned slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
She knew perfectly well what these knights were thinking.
Although she herself was somewhat displeased yesterday with Victor's decision to come along.
But as the saying goes, any arguments between husband and wife are resolved in bed.
Gwen is no longer worried about her previous state of being heartbroken over Viktor.
After all, she was full of energy last night, so what did she have to worry about?
Thinking of this, Gwen's cheeks flushed slightly, but she managed to hide it well in front of the knights.
However, today, after she and Victor went to the palace to discuss the matter with His Majesty,
Gwen finally understood how dangerous this mission was.
He also understood why Viktor had to go.
"Quiet down, this isn't a picnic."
"After a reassessment by the Royal Family, this mission has been classified as extremely dangerous, so don't think that having Victor with you means you can relax."
"Do you understand?"
Gwen's reprimand silenced the knights, who immediately stood at attention in response.
"Understood, Commander!"
"very good."
Gwen nodded, but there was no smile on her face.
"However, you don't need to be too nervous. Our mission this time is just to go up the mountain for inspection and escort the others to Mount Vesuvius."
