Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 150 Pushing Hands
"That's right. Now we're going to have a good show. Let them kill each other. When they've done enough, we'll go and clean up the mess. Maybe we can get some benefits." The tall and thin Basel echoed sharply.

Bazel is an expert in curses and soul magic. His magic is strange and deadly. He can sneak into the depths of the enemy's soul silently, plant a curse, and let the enemy die slowly in pain.

He is a mean and sinister person who likes to stir up trouble in parliament and will do anything to achieve his goals.

"What are you afraid of? Even if the God of Machinery really comes, he may not be able to do anything to us. We have many powerful protective arrays in the southern border, and so many powerful wizards. How can we be afraid of it?" Augustine, the white-haired elder of the parliament, picked up the wine glass and took a sip leisurely, his tone full of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.

Augustine masters the ancient and mysterious magic of protection and amplification. His magic can strengthen friendly forces and resist powerful attacks.

Over the years, he has enjoyed extremely high prestige in the parliament due to his rich experience and profound magical knowledge. Because of this, he has developed a very arrogant character and is completely dismissive of the crisis in the North.

In the past, the Wizard Council was undoubtedly the largest force in the kingdom. With its huge organizational system, they shouldered the responsibility of maintaining the stability of the kingdom.

As an important territory of the kingdom, the North has always been under their close surveillance, and every move is under their control.

With the rise of the Western Frontier, the Wizard Council was expelled in a fierce power struggle.

Since then, the Knights Guild has grown rapidly in the West and regained control of the West.

At the same time, the Round Table Council also took advantage of the situation and successfully conquered the East Territory with its strong strength and excellent strategy.

Under this series of changes, the sphere of influence of the Wizard Council was continuously compressed, and it was eventually forced to retreat back to the southern border.

Since the Wizarding Council evacuated the North, the original power vacuum has gradually emerged.

Grand Duke Frost Eagle keenly sensed this opportunity, and his inner ambition began to expand wildly.

He attempted to use the power of the God of Machinery to break the current situation of division among various forces and dominate the entire kingdom.

After retreating to the southern border, the Wizard Council not only did not stop Grand Duke Frost Eagle's unusual actions, but instead adopted a mentality of watching the fire from the other side of the river.

They wanted to let the chaotic situation in the north consume the strength of other forces, so that they could reap the benefits.

This attitude of indulgence and instigation undoubtedly gave Grand Duke Frost Eagle greater courage and room for action, leading him step by step to his current crazy situation of attempting to summon the God of Machinery.

The catastrophe that the North is facing now is closely related to the original decisions and inaction of the Wizarding Council.

In stark contrast to the Wizarding Council's indifferent and gloating expression, the Round Table Council was now as anxious as ants on a hot pan, pacing around in the meeting room.

If something happens in the North, the balance of power in the entire kingdom will be completely broken, and the situation they have worked so hard to build will be in jeopardy.

In desperation, the Round Table Council could only send an urgent request for reinforcements to the Knights Guild of the West.

However, what they received was a cold and perfunctory response from the Knights Guild, which declined the request for reinforcements on the grounds that they had already sent an investigation team to the North.

A moment's reflection would reveal that the Knights Guild had long anticipated the potential for a crisis like the present one in the North. Consequently, they had dispatched two powerful Knights, Robin and Elena, to the North early on, ostensibly to conduct an investigation, but in reality to silence any future Round Table criticism.

Recalling the battle that drove the Wizard Council out of the West, although the Knights Guild won, it also paid a heavy price.

Four legendary knights shed their blood on the battlefield, and one knight of order was seriously injured and disabled. They were badly injured and knew how deep the muddy water was in the North now, and they didn't want to get involved in it easily again.

The so-called investigation team is nothing more than a fig leaf for the Knights Guild and the Round Table Council to maintain a superficial alliance.

The Knights Guild knew that if they intervened in the affairs of the North, they would most likely be drawn into endless fighting, which would not only consume a large amount of manpower and material resources, but would also likely cause them to suffer heavy losses again.

They would rather wait and see, waiting for the situation to become clearer before making their next plans.

The Round Table saw all of this, but was helpless and could only worry and deal with the increasingly difficult situation alone in this northern crisis.

Under the game of various forces with their own thoughts, it finally came to this scene that Lao Mao and his group of legendary knights resolutely headed to the North.

Originally, with the overall strength of the Round Table Council, it would not have been difficult to send even more powerful warriors to the North. However, the cruel reality was that many equally formidable warriors lay hidden deep within the North.

Once those top powerhouses step into the North, they will be detected immediately thanks to the North's complex magic perception network.

By then, they will be firmly restrained by the local strongmen in the north. Not only will they be unable to effectively support the front line, but even their own safety will be difficult to guarantee.

In this case, sending Order Knights or Second Ring Wizards into the North might actually be counterproductive.

Fortunately, Robin successfully broke through and became a legendary knight in this chaos, which was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the team led by Old Cat.

As everyone began to discuss the next steps, Old Cat looked at Robin, who looked a little tired but couldn't hide his excitement, and said, "Alan, you've just reached the level of Legendary Knight, so your combat experience and control over your power aren't stable yet. From now on, follow behind Gareth. He's experienced and can protect you in critical moments. He can also guide you on how to better utilize your newfound power."

Hearing this, the other legendary warriors in the team nodded in agreement.

In their eyes, although Robin has great potential, he has just made a breakthrough. Faced with the complex, changeable and crisis-ridden situation in the North, he really needs a reliable senior to lead him.

Gareth is the third seat of the Round Table Council. He is extremely powerful and has extremely rich combat experience. Having him take care of Robin can not only give Robin training but also ensure his safety.

Robin's heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that Old Cat and the other seniors were thinking of him. He nodded vigorously, looked at Gareth, and said firmly, "Master Gareth, I look forward to your guidance."

Gareth nodded slightly, his voice low but reassuring, "Follow me closely, and don't act rashly. The danger in the North is far greater than you can imagine."

Robin silently estimated Gareth's fighting power in his heart. The other party should be the same as himself, a peak legendary knight who has comprehended order. He just didn't know what level he had comprehended.
