On his way back to the Iron King's Castle, Kane happened to encounter him from Nelus and Tib. Kane hadn't seen Neroth since they had last met, and he and Tib had gotten closer, presumably because they were both mages and interested in the magic notebook. Neros learned many new fire spells from Tibb, and even the summoning of the fire demon was mastered by him.

Tib was amazed by his talent, and kindly invited him to join them in the Firedemons further south, his talent should not be wasted in meaningless places. The Magic Guild does not have a place for him, but the Fire Demon will accept all believers, and as long as he can bring the notes back, his status in the Fire Demon will be restored, and even higher, and the position of Elder is indispensable.

Neros was still thinking about it, after all, he was not completely devoid of feelings for the Magic Association, and if he presented the truth to everyone and the Magic Association was on his side, then he would still return to the arms of the Association and continue to inherit the position of Master Yorick.

Tib hoped he would think it through, but regardless of the outcome, he respected Neroth's choice and their friendship would not change.

"Come to me anytime when you've thought about it, although it's too early to say this, our friendship won't change." After Tib left such a sentence, he wisely left space for Kane and Nelus.

Nefrith was happy to see Kane, and he stepped forward and patted Kane on the arm and said, "I heard that Ivan is here." ”

"yes. But how did you talk to him so well, the enemy who used to shout about killing is now a good friend. ”

"We have a common enemy, and the Tibs are not bad, but now they are different because of their different positions. He has a very good understanding of the magic field, and yesterday we worked together on a new circle that worked pretty well. He added fire magic to my sword rain ruling, and each lightsaber had a bonus to fire magic, raising it up by one magic level. Nelus looked excited to share their results with Kane.

"I think we can try blood magic and what will happen next time, maybe it's another amazing discovery."

"I'm afraid it's difficult, blood magic is different from other magic, it has too many uncertainties, and it is easy to cause terrible effects when used." Kane knew the nature of blood magic, an evil magic that was inherently opposed to light, and it was impossible to create surprising magic, and he only brought destruction and decay.

While the two of them were chatting, behind the white stone pillars in the hallway, Shut was walking briskly towards them, apparently looking for them.

"I've finally found you." He gasped.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Neroth asked, confused.

"There will be a battle later, and the armies of the Hammer family want to bypass the Iron Ridge and return to the city of Carrot from the Suiyan Pass. Lord Danton hopes that we can intercept them, and the banquet is imminent, and all the Carrot troops that pass through here will be wiped out, this is your lord's order. ”

Nelus turned to look at Kane, the expression on his face didn't change, it seemed that Hammer had nothing to do with him anymore.

"Who is the general this time?" Nefrius continued.

"This time the people are not easy to deal with, but the problem is not very big. The man who led this army was the honorary knight Verkin. Hammer. Franz's right-hand man, second only to Franco. If we can kill him, it will be a great help to us. "Hut didn't know about Virkin's relationship with Kane, but Nelut did.

If it weren't for Virkin's help, I'm afraid Kane would have been difficult to live until now, and he wouldn't be where he is today, so it can be said that among the entire Hammer people, the person he least wants to face should be Virkin.

The atmosphere fell silent suddenly, and Neroth's eyes fell on Kane. For a moment, Hut was confused by the silence.

"What's wrong? Any questions? ... Virgin is powerful, but not strong enough to silence you. Don't worry, it's not just you who are going this time, the six powerful knights of the Red Skull also want to try their skills, we have an absolute advantage, and it will be easy to kill them. Danton-sama's purpose is just to take this opportunity to see your strength, and everyone just let go and deal with them. ”

Schutt also thought that Kane's reason for their silence was that they were afraid of Wilkin.

"No problem, when to go." Kane's tone was calm, still not showing too many emotional fluctuations.

"Just in the middle of the night tonight, wrap yourself tightly so that they don't see your face, it's not too early to be exposed." Hut spoke to them briefly.

After Hut left, Nelus cared, "Are you really okay?" ”

"It's fine." Kane's reply was brief, "I'll go get ready." ”

Kane returned to the room, his Demon Sealing Sword resting quietly on the table, he was going to use him to face Virgin tonight, after all, he couldn't escape. Although I know that I will have to face Virgin sooner or later, this day seems to have come a little too early, and this is the time to come to a conclusion. Kane's heart was faltering, and he felt like he couldn't set his mind on Virkin, at least not for now.

After Aruno established some kind of connection with Kane, he shared Kane's emotions, and now he could clearly feel Kane's unbearability, and he was struggling whether to go.

"Sooner or later, you have to face him, what's the use of running away? You've already killed quite a few people anyway, so what if you kill another one. His kindness to you exists in the past, you are no longer the same person you used to be, and you don't owe them anything, you have almost repaid what you should have repaid. ”

"I know."

"Then don't hesitate, they are still waiting for us, tonight is another pleasant hunt." Yaruno said excitedly.

Gray. Not all of Gori's knights arrived, and there were only three knights here, one was him, and the Red Swordsman Mordley and El. General. The other knights of the Red Skull all have their own missions, and Gray decided that this operation would not require all of his team. In fact, he thought that even if he led an army by himself, he could easily take Virgin down.

When Kane arrived at the meeting point, hundreds of elite knights in heavy gear had already been equipped, and Gray glanced at Kane. He was leading the way, and he didn't like anyone to delay his time, and if it hadn't been for Hut asking him to wait for Kane and Neroth, he would have set off a long time ago.

An army of hundreds of people had bypassed the mountain in advance from the mountain road behind Tieling to enter the ambush site, and they had to deal with five times as many enemies as they had this time, and the news that Wilkin had returned to Carrot City overnight with five hundred lightly armored knights. It is unclear if there are other powerful classes in the team. Astor followed him back.

The combat effectiveness of a team with mages is not ordinary, and it is a force to be reckoned with, so it is necessary to equip magic resistance equipment to reduce damage. In order not to startle the snake, Gray did not allow anyone to light a torch or bring anything with a shiny light, and even the sound of footsteps was kept to a low level. The iron hooves of the horses stepped on the rocks, leaving a series of crisp sounds, and there was only the sound of horses' hooves in the mountains and forests, which was unavoidable, but fortunately, the forest was covered with luxuriant, and the sound was not so easy to transmit in the forest.

Behind the boulders of Suiyan Pass was an excellent hiding place, and a stream flowed by the woods, and the sound of the murmuring water was a barrier for them to protect. Hundreds of heavily armored knights took advantage of the high terrain to divide the team into two teams. Gray alone led fifty heavily armed knights to stay here, while Kane came to ambush the village not far from the post station in front, and they were mainly responsible for intercepting and eliminating the fleeing enemy.

In this way, Kane and the others seemed to be relaxed, because in front of him, Mordley, Al. Prolo had formed the first line of defense, and few enemies would flee in their direction.

That's not a good thing for Kane, he probably won't get a chance to face Virkin, and when he sees him again, he may see a corpse.

Wilkin came from the dirt road with nearly five hundred lightly armored knights, and as he passed the road in the center of the village, the barking of dogs sounded far and wide, and the first to hear the movement were Kane and a dozen men. They didn't make a sound, the golden wolf banner fluttered in front of them, and with the cover of the night, the light-armored knights who were concentrating on their way did not notice anything unusual.

Wilkin rode on the back of a tall steed, wearing the same set of demonic armor he had first seen in Carrot City. The team of five hundred knights was mixed with some crossbowmen and spearmen, but there was no sign of the mage.

However, only the Light Knights and Crossbowmen have a higher chance of winning than Wilkin, and the Heavy Knights have extremely high defense, and a Heavy Knight can easily face two or three Light Knights. Crossbowmen's damage cannot quickly break through their armor, and vulnerable archers can be easily dealt with once they are in combat mode.

The lowest level that can really deal damage to a heavily armed knight on the battlefield is also an armor-piercing archer, otherwise there is no difference between a crossbowman and a death shot. At night, the field of vision was limited, and the heavily armored knight took the opportunity to attack, quickly approaching the enemy, relying on the advantage of equipment to frantically suppress the fragile light armored knight for a while.

The unreactive lightly armored knight was hit hard in the first round of attack, and the crossbowmen were slashed from their horses before they could fire their arrows, and even if their crossbow arrows could be fired, the damage was too low to break through their armor.

Virgin didn't expect to encounter enemy attacks on this road, and the equipment was better than theirs. He realized that this was no ordinary bandit, no bandit could afford to raise such a well-armed hoplite, and this was the Iron Ridge range, so the only one who attacked them was the Iron King on the mountain.

Wilkin wanted to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible, but he was entangled by six or seven knights, and it was difficult to show his skills in the narrow pass, and the only thing to fight was the strength of the defense and the lethality of the weapon, and it was up to him to see who could survive to the end.

His broadsword has a huge lethality, not only did the knight who wandered away and sneak attack not succeed, but also ate his sword and fell off the horse, the purple magic pattern of the demon pattern heavy armor flowed out of light, and his momentum rose with the brightness of the magic pattern, and when it reached its peak, it exploded with great power, and it shook the knight in power alive.

Gray's iron armor was covered, and the red steel sword was in his hand, and he jumped off the boulder on his horse with a roar, and the red sword slashed at the broadsword, and the domineering shock bounced the two of them away.

The two of them glanced at each other, and as if following some kind of combat tradition, they found an open space to begin the duel between the generals.
