…
Sean and North's faces changed and they stood up from their chairs abruptly.
As they were all sealed knights under Gru Town, they were all very clear about each other's strength. They never expected that he would be promoted to level 4 without them even noticing!
This is level 4!
Even in the entire Luan area, the number of level 4 knights... No, even if all types of level 4 professionals in the Luan area are added together, the total number does not exceed five fingers.
If Horn had revealed such terrifying strength earlier, he would have been treated as a guest of honor in Gruburg.
Even in the entire Luan area, as long as he was willing to be loyal to Viscount Connor, he could definitely choose the position of leader of several patrol groups, and it was even very likely that he would be awarded a town as his territory.
How could he... How could he...
The two lords and knights trembled all over, and had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
What is Horn going to do
Could it be that he has already mixed up with the fake saint who has been making a lot of noise recently, in an attempt to overthrow...
"Horn, don't mess around." Sean clenched the sword at his waist, and cold sweat unconsciously seeped out of his palms. "North and I are both imperial nobles. If something happens in your knight's territory, you will not end well."
Horn stared at them coldly, waved his hand and ordered the surrounding cavalry: "Go." At this point, any pretense was meaningless.
"Yes, sir."
At a command, the surrounding cavalry and elite soldiers immediately rushed towards the two men.
Horn also slashed at the two men with his sword.
He did not hold back at all when he struck the sword.
In an instant, a dazzling white light burst out from the sword, and the fierce fighting spirit turned into a one-meter-long sword light extending from the sword, slashing down fiercely at the two of them!
…
In just a few minutes, the two lord knights and their personal guards were all killed.
"Send their heads to Gruburg and tell the Saint that this is a gift from me to our Lord."
Horn casually pulled the sword out of Sean's wound, wiped the blood off the sword with a cloth, and said to the squire knight beside him.
"Yes, sir."
The squire knight immediately took the order and left.
Another squire knight looked puzzled: "Master, if you kill them, you will break off relations with those traditional nobles. Is it necessary?"
"Of course it is necessary."
Knight Horn sheathed his cleaned sword, walked slowly out of the antechamber, and raised his head to look in the direction of Gruborg.
His deep eyes shone with wisdom: "There will be a war between Gruburg and Luan City. We are in an awkward position and it is impossible for us to remain unscathed. Rather than being forced to take sides and end up in an awkward situation where we can't please both sides, it is better to take the initiative to take sides and strive for greater advantages."
"Moreover, compared to those nobles who have long been corrupted by power, I would rather stand on the side of the Church. At least so far, they are truly protecting the civilians under their rule."
There is one more thing Horn did not mention.
He had a vague feeling in his heart. The dispute between the Church and other forces on the continent would never end so easily. Luan City was just the beginning. In the future, as the power of the Church expanded, the conflict would inevitably intensify, and it was even possible that it would turn into a huge wave that swept across the entire continent.
