Uncle here isn't your average office worker!

"Uncle, you really were here!"

"Margaret?"

Marna looked at the girl in front of her in surprise. Just as she was about to say something, Roy pulled her aside and stood behind her.

“I’m sorry to have interrupted your reunion. But I have something very important to ask Miss Margaret.”

"Den-"

Roy drew his sword, his face beaming with excitement, and his gaze toward Margaret was filled with an aggressive passion:

"I've moved my sword!"

Although the underlying principle is unknown, the Holy Sword of the Sun moved!

Margaret, your grandfather can open the source stone and become a big sun. Although you are not as powerful as your grandfather, can you be my little sun for a while?

When the two swords are combined, they are invincible!

Volume 1: Chapter 162 Double Sun, Trial

"General, the three war fortresses have completely crossed the Baibo River, and the enemy's resistance has been basically eliminated. There is no sign of any further enemy reinforcements."

The messenger's resounding report finally eased the tension in Brechester's heart, and a slight smile returned to his tense face. He nodded slightly, his expression calm and confident, and said:

"Good, speed up, continue the advance, and make sure to wipe out the enemy completely."

He had completely shaken off his recent slump, his face beaming with pride. The disastrous defeat of the vanguard had almost left him psychologically scarred, and he was deeply worried about the enemy troops lying in ambush in the forest.

What if there's a war fortress parked inside Kazimierz? What if that damned mage unleashes another meteor strike? What if some other unexpected event occurs?

Once bitten, twice shy. Brechester was truly unsure what other arrangements Roy had up his sleeve. So even though the first wave of advance after the main force arrived went exceptionally smoothly, with firepower superiority and the fortified position almost effortlessly crushing the enemy's insignificant but fearless charge, he still dared not lower his guard in the slightest.

Only now, with all three war fortresses now crossed the Baibo River rift, and the opportune moment for a swift and decisive attack—a prime opportunity in military strategy—has passed, has he fully confirmed that the last thousand-odd knights are none other than the enigmatic Pegasus Knights and Kazimierz behind them, their final trump card.

They attempted to conceal their outward strength but inner weakness, relying on playing their biggest cards first to intimidate the Ursus army and make their battlefield commanders hesitant to advance—a clever scheme indeed. If it were any other general, they might have truly fled in panic after being struck by that meteor. But unfortunately for them, they encountered Brechester, the Iron Man of the Ursus Empire. How could such petty tricks possibly sway him?

Since that's the case, now is the time for him to take his revenge!

Full of confidence, Brechester issued a series of military orders in rapid succession:

"Order the war fortress to enter high speed mode and reach the designated target as quickly as possible to capture the mobile city."

"Order the artillery to move their guns 90 degrees to the left, aim at the forest, and bombard it fiercely, making sure that not a single knight gets out!"

"Order the sorcerer units, infantry units, and airborne units to prepare, seize control of the surrounding villages and areas, drive border residents into Ursus territory, and take drastic measures if necessary!"

"Pass on the order..."

"General," the messenger said, having memorized all of Brechester's orders, but with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "is this a full-scale mobilization? But we haven't found any trace of the enemy's main force yet. Isn't this a bit risky?"

Brechester glanced at the new messenger, his eyes blazing with anger.

Adventure? This war was inherently an adventure. To put it bluntly, if they failed to achieve significant results in Qazimir, he, along with Grand Prince Baikal and Viscount Dunkirk, would all be on the gallows.

Their original plan had already been delayed for a full three hours because of Roy. Three hours—even if the upper echelons of Kazimir were all lazy, incompetent idiots, they should have realized it by now. If they were to quickly dispatch the Knights to preemptively garrison the moving city's tracks, their war would only escalate into a protracted conflict. This was unacceptable to anyone.

Leaving aside the fact that they only have one army group, and how much chance they have of winning against an entire nation, what kind of political storm will be stirred up in Ursus, and how the emperor will treat them, all of these things make Brechester deeply wary.

Especially those "emperors' blades," their methods sent chills down Brechester's spine even when he thought about them.

We must push forward, we must rapidly expand our gains, and we must immediately convert our advantages on the main battlefield into a winning position. This is not only a matter of his personal emotional needs, but also the only way to salvage the situation at present!

Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, they now possess a battle-hardened main force army, while Roy's side only has a small knightly order of a little over a thousand men. With a tenfold or even a hundredfold difference in troop strength and firepower, this is like a dragon charging in. How could they possibly lose? They can't lose. He's a professional general; how could he not understand this situation?

Just go up there and you're done!

"No need for further words, just give the order."

Brechester said calmly, his gaze passing through the projection screen in the war fortress command room to the forest in the distance that had been almost completely leveled by artillery fire.

He wanted to search the pits for Roy's body, but then he thought that if the main cannon of the war fortress had really hit Roy, there wouldn't be any body left; he would probably have become fertilizer for the earth long ago.

This land, which is about to become Ursus territory, will surely be very fertile next year.

In his imagination, he seemed to see a brilliant sunrise breaking through the earth and slowly rising in the sky, shining down on this war-torn land.

His eyes stung from the flash and he instinctively squinted.

Wow—this illusion feels so real.

"Warning! Large-scale unidentified energy source detected ahead! Warning! Large-scale unidentified energy source detected ahead!"

The alarm system of the war fortress suddenly went off, and Brechester snapped back to reality, looking at the display screen that had been completely enveloped in light and turned into a white blur. An ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

"Damn it, no way?"

........

"Margaret, push a little harder, it's almost out!"

Roy gripped the greatsword at his waist excitedly, his joyful expression towards Margaret like that of someone seeing their long-lost wife again.

"Not enough, just a little bit more. Marna, Margaret doesn't look too good. Can you give her a hand?"

Marna stared blankly at Roy, her face saying, "What the hell are you doing?"

Although he didn't know why Roy wanted Margaret to use her Originium Arts in vain, he hesitated for a moment before walking over to Margaret, who was trying to transform into a small sun, patting her on the shoulder and whispering something in her ear.

The next second, Margaret, who was originally just a small luminous person, blushed, and the light around her burst forth like a bomb, turning her into a bright ball of light.

Roy moved, stroking the trembling greatsword, licking his lips, and revealing a relieved smile.

"Although I don't know the principle behind it, draw the Sun Holy Sword!"

The sword suddenly unsheathed, like a Tibetan mastiff that hadn't eaten for ten or fifteen days, charging towards Margaret and falling into her hands. The next second, Margaret was surrounded by a sea-like light, as if she had encountered a black hole, and she surged wildly towards the sword.

The ornate patterns on the blade seemed to come alive, with ribbons of light flowing across them. The gem on the hilt emitted a dazzling light, almost blinding Marna and the other knights present. The light grew increasingly intense, seemingly possessing a physical form. Every point that shone upon someone felt as if they were being pierced by a sharp blade, yet to the two of them, it was incredibly warm and gentle, like the warm spring sun, soothing and delightful.

The two were Roy, the swordsman, and Margaret, the source of light.

The wielder of the Sun Sword is naturally attuned to the sun, possessing its blessings, and thus unaffected by its light. However, at this very moment, the light that the wielder feels attuned to does not come from the sun, but from a descendant of the legendary second rising sun of Kazimierz, a knight named "Radiance," as upright and courageous as light itself.

Margaret's face flushed slightly, but more so with panic and nervousness. She didn't know what this powerful yet gentle light meant, and could only turn her gaze to the knight she had heard so much about but was meeting for the first time.

Why is he also unaffected by light?

Roy had no time to explain. He didn't know how long Margaret's stamina could sustain such a powerful, sun-recognized radiance, so he couldn't afford to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He reached out and grasped the sword in Margaret's hand, and also grasped Margaret's hand.

"There's no time to explain, Margaret Nearl. Do you remember what Nearl's family motto is?"

Margaret answered instinctively, "I am not afraid of hardship!"

Roy nodded: "That's right. There's no need to wait for the sun. Swing your swords. At this moment, we are the only light."

【Great Wilderness Starfall】 was activated. Roy grabbed Margaret's hand and rushed towards the sky, as if the rising sun had leaped over the horizon, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the border and illuminating the entire sky.

Golden light spilled across the earth. The war fortress, advancing at full speed, was like a fish plunging into an ocean of light. The cannons still roared, but no one paid attention to the rumble. The tracks still creaked, but the advancing ships had lost their way. The surveillance cameras burst into flames. The invading enemy fell silent. No one dared to look directly at the sky, for the sun was sacred and inviolable!

However, no one was fortunate enough to witness the moment when the giant sword of light, formed from the sunlight, was lifted and slashed down by the two of them together.

All I know is that when I opened my eyes, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in. A new vertical canyon was added above the rift valley of the Baibo River, like a cross of judgment, proclaiming itself upon the earth!

[...The enemy army had already invaded the White Wave River Rift. At this critical moment of life and death, the Radiant Knight finally arrived as promised. The two, who had not seen each other for years, exchanged a glance, a thousand words unspoken. The Eternal Knight drew his sword, and the Radiant Knight assisted him. In the presence of the Lightless Knight and the remaining three hundred knights, the two transformed into light, joining hands and soaring into the sky, just like in the Battle of the Plains decades ago, like a rising sun, yet different from the Battle of the Plains, for at this time and place, there were not two suns in the sky, only one light! When the sword fell, judgment descended, and the eternal radiance of light would never cease, for if the Ursus dared to invade, they would be utterly defeated! —《The Eternal Knight Legend Series, Part Two—The Twin Suns》》]

Volume 1: The Leave of Absence Slip - I Vomited All Night

I haven't been feeling well for the past few days, and last night I vomited all night. I was in bed when I woke up around 3 AM feeling nauseous and vomited three times in a row, forcing me to go to the hospital for an anti-nausea injection. I vomited twice more on the way. My stomach is completely empty, and I even brought up blood. I had no choice but to schedule a gastroscopy for tomorrow morning, and I'm staying at the hospital for observation now.

I probably won't be able to update today. I'll see what medication to take after the test results tomorrow. I need to take a break now, sorry.

Volume 1: Chapter 163 He Wants to Die with His Eyes Wide Open

The war fortress Brechester was riding in was sliced ​​evenly in two, and the ensuing explosion tore the massive steel behemoth into pieces, scattering them across the ground, completely devoid of any imposing presence. Brechester, like his steed, was captured with a pale face and a dazed expression, looking less like a general and more like a beggar on the street. Had Chesper not recognized the rank insignia on his shoulder, the Knights might have simply taken him away as an ordinary Ursus remnant.

He was eventually brought before Roy.

Roy's current state is quite delicate. He is indeed in good spirits. Although the injuries from the Meteor Shower have not fully healed, the unparalleled power of the Sun Sword has given him a strong boost. Even if another Ursus army comes, he is confident that he can build White Wave Cross Valley into an iron wall of Kazimir. If they dare to invade, they will be utterly defeated.

On the other hand, he also had to endure the varied and intense gazes from all the soldiers, including Marna.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who had to endure this kind of gaze; Margaret did too.

Margaret's face was already flushed. She really wanted to explain that she and Roy had no prior plans or agreements. Not to mention agreements, this was the first time they had even met. They had absolutely no experience with each other, and there was no such thing as perfect understanding, a perfect match, a loving couple, fighting amongst themselves, or wishing for a baby soon!

But with things like this, it's better not to explain. Once you do, everyone acts like they understand, and the blessings in their eyes don't disappear, they just become more subtle.

Girls are shy, everyone understands that.

But while I understand, I still want to express my gratitude.

Throughout Kazimir, everyone except Margaret knew that Roy hadn't stayed in the Grand Knights' territory after winning the championship, but instead went out alone to find the Radiant Knight and rekindle their romance. Roy's sudden appearance in the Forest Rangers' ranks, and then his arrival at the border to help them fight this defensive war, puzzled many knights—wasn't the Eternal Knight supposed to be looking for the Radiant Knight? How did he end up here, even fighting alongside us? Was the intelligence false? Or had the Eternal Knight sacrificed his personal interests for the greater good, prioritizing the nation and deciding to defend the country before seeking the Radiant Knight?

After being exiled for three years, the Radiant Knight suddenly reappeared, right at the most critical moment. He and Roy intimately used a flashbang spell that blinded all the single dogs in the world. Then everyone understood.

The intelligence is correct. The Eternal Knight did indeed go to find the Radiant Knight, and they have already found him. They have also made an agreement to work together at a crucial moment to repel the Ursus people.

As for why they didn't join forces from the beginning, there are many reasons, but none of them matter now.

Whether it's because the Radiant Knights were exiled and therefore dared not act rashly, or because the Eternal Knights were unprepared and therefore unable to act temporarily, or even if such Originium Arts were so powerful that using them might have some side effects and should not be used casually unless absolutely necessary, in any case, they were the Knights' saviors. How could anyone not be grateful to their saviors and instead blame them?

Besides, holding a sword hand in hand and setting off a sun-level flashbang in front of so many single knights, even if you explain now, who will believe you!

Seeing that her explanations were ineffective, Margaret gradually gave up resisting and cast a somewhat helpless glance at Roy, who was equally embarrassed beside her.

The meaning is simple: I'm at a loss about what to do about the rumors my sister spread. What about you? How about... you decide what to do?
