Bab 82: Everlasting City Siege (8)

Baron Galeheard spoke clearly: "A young knight has captured a spy"

Arthur, Count Elderwood, Baron Halefire and Viscount Palford's faces all revealed tough expressions

"It was an average soldier...But he actually had beginner knight cultivation. He attempted to burn the settlement's reserves of grain, which would have put us in a tough position considering the size of our army. Thankfully, it was prevented"

Arthur smiled: "Excellent work...Who is that young knight?"

Viscount Palford felt very happy upon being praised. Unknowingly, he had acknowledged Arthur thoroughly as a veteran commander. Like his peers, he no longer saw Arthur as a 'heir' or a 'boy', but a man who was powerful enough to earn their respect, and possessing a brilliant intellect allowing him to form plans and strategy they had never heard of before.

Never once did they expect a single man to cause so much damage to a city from a safe distance.

"He is Teobald the Bruiser", Viscount Palford spoke, "Hum...you might not know him but he actually graduated from the [Royal Knight Academy] and is an acquaintance of your brother. I heard they subjugated goblins together in their third year expedition. He has also won a local tournament hosted by the previous Baron Halefire"

Arthur nodded: "Impressive. Make sure to reward him greatly, but tell him to keep his lips sealed. We don't want to create worries in the army. I have a solution to eliminate spies from the army. Give me a list of all of your soldiers name and official strength. I can gauge any difference. I will provide you with a list of all suspects. I won't kill them myself, but I will not tolerate leniency towards traitors"

"Of course", the four lords spoke in unison.

Arthur smiled inwardly: 'Setting spies would have surely been very helpful, Baron Lark, but unfortunately, you could not have guessed that I possess a ring allowing me to scan the attributes of people I observe...'

Thankfully, there was no urgency about that matter. Although he was slowly destroying the enemy forces, the battlefield had reached an equilibrium. Destroying the watchtower would greatly worry the Baron Lark and the enemy army, but that was only the beginning. Against a well-built city like [Everlasting City], only siege weapons could tilt the odds in the Elderwood party's favour. There was only so much an intermediate-rank acolyte like himself could do.

Returning to his laboratory, Arthur sat and started to work again.

Taking out a brush, he created a magical circle under his feet and started to pour magical stones in precise emplacement. Each stroke of his brush seemed majestic and accurate, and anyone seeing the sight would be in awe. It was the result of thousands of simulations in his head, as well as countless hours of studies. A small gush of wind was created once it was completed.

[Congratulations! You have successfully created an [Ice Elemental Meditation Magic Matrix Circle]. For the next three hours, meditation gains will be increased by 1500%]

This method was very expensive, as it consumed [Goblin Shaman Blood], [Jagorn Elder Tree Sap] and a dozen more magical ingredients. Each time he completed a [Meditation Magic Matrix Circle], he would spend over 30 magic crystals worth of magical ingredients.

However, it was a necessary sacrifice for strength.

[You have successfully practiced a revolution of the incomplete [High-grade Black Widow Brotherhood Meditation Technique]. You have earned 160 EXP]

[As a result of intense meditation with a high density of Ice elemental particles, your [Ice Physique] slightly improves...]

'640 EXP for two hours of meditation and improvement in [Ice Physique]? With this growth rate, I might as well reach the peak of the intermediate acolyte realm by the end of this war', Arthur thought while grinning.

Just as he finished his experiment, the four beginner-rank knights guarding his tent stopped a man: "Halt! You can't come here. This is the Great Commander's tent. He has told us not to let anyone enter!"

However, the woman kept insisting: "I am Emilia Falister...daughter of Viscount Falister. My sister is in a close relationship with Arthur in the Ivory Tower, and told me to assist Arthur in battle. I have come with five knights to protect him in this siege"

Hearing this, Arthur shook his head...He knew that his subordinate Evangeline had a close relationship with her father, Viscount Falister, and regularly exchanged letters with him about her experience in the Ivory Tower. Rather than the usual father-and-daughter relationship in those medieval times, it resembled true fatherly love.

Hearing about a battle led by his daughter's first love, the Viscount probably sent his daughter and elite knights to assist the young boy in his quest.

Arthur nodded and shouted: "Let them enter..."

[Noah Gim - Level 12 Intermediate Rank Knight]

A man with a big white bear and a helmet under his arm entered first, kneeling in respect, following by 5 beginner rank knights and Emilia Fallister, a preparatory knight herself.

"Greetings, sir. We have been sent by Viscount Fallister to assist you in battle and protect you from dangers..."

Naturally, Arthur was not planning on refusing the help of an intermediate-rank powerhouse with plenty of experience.

"The Falister fief is located a hundred of miles from the Southern Gate Region...The travel must have been rough. Do you want some tea?"
