Chapter 94: Midnight Chaotic Warfare in Atad City (Part 1)

Eldest Young Master Harman and Second Young Master Harriet spared no efforts to fawn over Earl Harrison, but they looked down on Hal. These two brothers had never even thought that Hal was the most dangerous person amongst them since he maintained a refined appearance without any menace.

Miss Sophie and Miss Rebecca were completely out of form. They had come to participate in this banquet out of etiquette, nothing more. These two didn’t even wear any formal evening wear, which was normally requisite. At first glance, anyone could see that they were acting in a perfunctory manner. Sophie wore a black priestess dress that resembled a nun’s while Rebeca wore the dress of the alchemist profession, which seemed very simple and unsophisticated. These two ladies looked particularly unfit for the twin seats for honored guests. Compared to other distinguished guests around them, the out of sorts feeling they emitted was off the charts and impossible to ignore.

Clyde felt that Sophie and Rebecca were simply wasteful. They had such nice figures, but they wore such conservative dresses, leaving him speechless. When Clyde stared there, Sophie and Rebecca must have felt his gaze since they also turned around to look towards his side, and their eyes met his. In that brief moment, a hint of confusion flashed through their eyes; they were unable to understand why Vignia and Princess Halisi had chosen such a secluded place to sit, especially with a handsome youth who didn’t seem to be either’s boyfriend.

Clyde was most concerned about another beautiful woman in a guest of honor seat. She was a beautiful girl with a long silver-white hair wearing a fine, gorgeous female special platinum dragon armor with a dragon-style helmet. Those beautiful silver eyes seemed to see through everything. Even amongst the many beautiful women Clyde had seen before, this silver-haired beauty’s temperament was quite special. She had a valiant and heroic temperament that no other beauty had had.

“Sacred Moon Knight Verly, she actually also came! Several days ago, she visited Franconia Empire. Why did she come to our small kingdom?”

Miss Vignia’s complexion looked bad as she explained this to Clyde. That silver-haired beauty, Sacred Moon Knight Verly, was a Dragon Knight. In Ximengsi Continent, Dragon Knight was the peak the knight profession of the Human Race could reach. They were existences as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns. Above Dragon Knights were only Divine Knights, which only existed in legend. To this day, no one had ever seen a Divine knight, only heard some rumors.

Sacred Moon Knight Verly was the princess of Phoenix Farrell Empire, one of the largest empires of the Neutral Treaty Organization. While she was still a young woman, she had already reached the pinnacle of the Human Race’s knight profession, surpassing countless knights. Phoenix Farrell Empire was known as the Empire of Dragons and possessed the strongest knight regiment among the Human Race of Ximengsi Continent, Sacred Dragon Knight Regiment. Verly was one of the captains of Sacred Dragon Knight Regiment. With her strength, she was an existence who could walk all over Ximengsi Continent without any obstructions.

Generally, Phoenix Farrell Empire didn’t participate in the internal strife of Ximengsi continent. With their strength, they could easily crush most of the nations of Clark Alliance and Victor Alliance. Even Augusta Empire, this kind of empire with powerful military strength, had misgivings towards their strength. However, its geographical position was not good. Situated on the west side of Ximengsi Continent, which bordered Demon Race’s continent, Phoenix Farrell Empire had been forced to serve as the western guardian of Ximengsi Continent, resisting the attacks of Demon Race, so they had no time to participate in the internal strifes of Human Race.

There were three other super empires in the same plight as Phoenix Farrell Empire. These four were in the east, west, south and north of Ximengsi Continent, defending the human continent from the invasions of Demon, Beastmen, Sea, and Barbarian Race. They had no time to attend to the affairs inside the continent. As it now seemed, the Human Race of Ximengsi Continent was simply a befuddling race. Outside, those super empires exerted all their strength to barely ward off invasions, and the nations inside fought internally.

If all those empires worked as one and supported the four super empires, then the offenses of the different races would have been far less effective. However, no one wanted to help those four super empires. In their view, resisting different races’ invasions was not as interesting as killing people of their own side. The four super empires, however, had no choice: the borders were at their territories, so they could only resist to the end.

Hal’s position was quite far away. Even though Verly was a Dragon Knight, it was hard for her to notice Hal’s status as an Undead Shaman. She had come here merely to complete the commission of Franconia Empire’s imperial family, which was to participate in Earl Harrison’s birthday banquet and Young Master Hal’s wedding as a representative of the empire. Franconia Empire couldn’t appoint any ministers for this because they all felt that going to Adelaide Kingdom was beneath their statuses; thus, they had hired Sacred Moon Knight when she had come to the empire to purchase military supplies.

As employment remunerations, after participating in the ceremony, Princess Verly would get a 60% discount on her purchases in Franconia Empire. Phoenix Farrell Empire had to purchase a lot of goods and materials this time, so Verly had thought that she would save a lot of expenses through this and readily accepted this commission to participate in Earl Harrison’s major birthday and Young Master Hal’s wedding as the temporary representative of Franconia Empire.

In the seats for guests of honor, the other aristocrats subconsciously maintained a respectful distance from Verly, deliberately giving her the cold shoulder. Although Sacred Moon Knight Verly was the most beautiful woman at the banquet, because of her status as a Dragon Knight, many people didn’t dare to have any evil thoughts toward her. Even Young Master Hal who cultivated Undead magic didn’t have the bold thought to make a move on her.

“Your Majesty the Princess Verly, thank you for traveling the long way to take part in my wedding celebration.”

“Don’t mention it, Young Master Hal, congratulations! Is Alicia not taking part in the banquet? To be able to cultivate to become a Paladin at such a young age, she is a genius. I truly want to meet her.”

“Alicia is feeling somewhat unwell; you will meet her during the formal wedding ceremony.”

Clyde was unable to make up his mind. He couldn’t figure out why this Holy Moon Knight Verly had come. If by chance, she supported the opposite camp, Clyde might have to cancel the previous battle plans. Considering Verly’s terrifying combat power, if she joined the opposite camp, that would be a worst-case scenario.

“Vignia, Princess Halisi, whose boyfriend is this mister? Can you introduce us?”

“Eh, Mister Clyde isn’t our boyfriend. Rebecca, Sophie, why are you sitting there? Your original seats are over there! This is leaving your thrones.”

“Vignia, there are a lot of vacant seats here. Please let us freeload.”

“Vignia, we are all sisters. Don’t mind us!”

Not long after the Earl’s banquet had started, Eldest Miss Sophie and Second Miss Rebecca naturally sat next to Clyde’s party while pretending to be interested in him. Miss Vignia had no way to deal with them, and she could only use entangled eyes to look at these two elder sisters. In their original seats of honor, the other aristocrats didn’t care much about their departures.

Clyde nodded his head in response to Sophie and Rebecca’s greetings. At the same time, he vaguely stole glances at Eldest Miss Sophie and Second Miss Rebecca’s figures, estimating their three sizes. He then considered whether it was a good idea to gift them some gem series undergarments later.

“Why did Sacred Moon Knight Verly come here; do you two know?”

“On her way to buying some resources, Princess Verly accepted a commission to represent Franconia Empire’s high level emissary.”

Through the direct intelligence provided by Sophie and Rebecca, Clyde finally relaxed. Sacred Moon Knight Verly was just passing by, so she wouldn’t have any great effects on his plan. Thinking this, Clyde quietly touched the hidden magic communication crystal and changed his original warning of “circumstances have changed; the operation is canceled” to “circumstances have changed; take action at my signal” to Steinbeck Fief’s already prepared army stationed outside. After receiving his secret instructions, Princess Natalie and Miss Jenny immediately arranged the army to attack the city that night.

The banquet continued until the evening. After learning Clyde was a treasure merchant, Sophie and Rebecca were curious and didn’t directly return to their own rooms to finish their own affairs as usual but rather followed Clyde to his room along with Miss Vignia and Princess Halisi, wanting to what kinds of treasures he had. Recalling Aike and Ailu, those two beautiful knights in his room and realizing that he was now bringing along four beautiful women, Clyde felt entangled. These ladies were too daring and dared to come to a man’s room at night, not fearing that they might encounter danger.

Like this, Hal had successfully secretly imprisoned many ladies before. Because of similar reasons, those ladies hadn’t been vigilant enough. Along the way, Clyde encountered Sacred Moon Knight, Princess Verly, head-on. It would have been unnatural to avoid her; thus, he could only choose to carefully walk past her and try not to attract the other party’s attention.

During that brief moment of walking past each other, Sacred Moon Knight, Princess Verly suddenly stopped and watched Clyde in a daze. She wanted to say something but hesitated, Verly herself hadn’t sensed anything, but the dragon she had signed a contract with had the ability to detect treasures. Just a moment ago, when they had passed Clyde, that dragon discovered that it was actually unable to estimate how many treasures Clyde carried. It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to get ahold of so many treasures.

“Forget it. He should just be a big merchant, nothing more.”
