Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 434: Chapter 176: Formation of the Royal Knight Order

Finally, the King of Flowing Fire lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I... surrender."

In the council hall, a deathly silence ensued. Although the nobility had anticipated the King’s capitulation, when the moment arrived, their expressions were still immensely complicated.

David nodded, directly taking out the Oath of Loyalty for the nobles present to sign. As for the King of Flowing Fire, it naturally required the Contract Spirit.

Then, he faced the nobles and said sternly, "From today onward, I will protect this kingdom, and any forces that oppose me shall be destroyed."

The nobles all lowered their heads, knowing what David’s words implied.

From this moment on, Duke Frost Wolf would become the true ruler of this kingdom. Although the King of Flowing Fire would still be king in name, he had effectively lost his power.

David said nothing more and let the nobles leave first.

Subsequently, he directly executed the Contract Spirit on the King of Flowing Fire, making him his loyal servant. Thanks to the breakthrough of his Contract Spirit, signing a contract through it no longer harmed the soul.

It wasn’t long.

The events concerning the King of Flowing Fire began to spread.

Duke Frost Wolf surprisingly came to the Flaming Kingdom alone and easily defeated the combined forces of the King of Flowing Fire and a Saint, both Tier Seven experts, shocking everyone.

At that moment, the knights who were still in doubt finally believed that Duke Frost Wolf had indeed broken through to Tier Eight and mastered the path to that tier.

Subsequently, those Tier Seven Knights and Tier Six Peak Knights began to converge towards Frost Wolf Ridge, seeking guidance from Duke Frost Wolf.

With his strength, Duke Frost Wolf proved that he not only mastered the path to Tier Eight but had also stood at the pinnacle of that realm.

Once the news spread, Frost Wolf Ridge became the Holy Land for all knights on the continent striving for a breakthrough.

Surrounding Frost Wolf Ridge, the formerly tranquil forests and mountains became bustling with activity.

Knights from different countries and regions, dressed in various armors and carrying their weapons, gathered here.

Among them were young knights full of passion and dreams, as well as older knights hoping to advance further in their lifetime.

David did not refuse these knights who came seeking guidance.

Subsequently, he directly established a new organization named the Royal Knight Order, allowing all Tier Seven Knights and Tier Six Peak Knights on the continent to join.

Soon, the first batch of a total of five Tier Seven Knights arrived at Frost Wolf Ridge.

They were still somewhat hesitant about David’s strength.

David stood on the summit of Frost Wolf Ridge, overlooking the five Tier Seven Knights who came to challenge him.

His eyes shone with confidence. He knew that although these five knights were outstanding figures in their respective fields, there remained an unbridgeable chasm between them and himself.

With his body supported by Tier Eight power, every muscle was filled with explosive strength. His speed, power, and reflexes far surpassed the Tier Seven range.

At the command, the battle began.

The five knights attacked simultaneously, their weapons glinting coldly in the sunlight, each unleashing their signature skills in an attempt to suppress David with their numbers.

However, David merely smiled lightly, his body moving like a ghost through the gaps of their attacks, each movement precise, and each strike well-timed.

David used no weapons, relying solely on his bare hands to easily ward off all attacks.

His actions didn’t appear fast, yet he always accurately pinpointed his opponents’ weaknesses.

Every punch and kick held the essence of Tier Eight power, making each strike feel as heavy as a mountain.

Soon enough, the outcome of the battle was clear.

The five Tier Seven Knights were defeated by David one by one. Some lay on the ground, others knelt on one knee, panting heavily, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They had never imagined that the gap between themselves and Tier Eight could be so vast.

David stood at the center, like an insurmountable mountain. His figure appeared exceptionally tall in the sunlight.

"Is this the power of Tier Eight?"

One knight murmured, his voice brimming with shock and admiration.

David smiled faintly, walking to the knight and helping him up.

"Tier Eight isn’t just an increase in power; more importantly, it’s about the understanding and utilization of that power," David said. "You are all excellent knights. As long as you continue cultivating, one day you will reach this realm."

The five knights nodded in agreement, their hesitation now completely dispelled by David’s strength.

They began to believe that David was indeed a true Tier Eight expert, and that Frost Wolf Ridge was indeed a place where they could grow.

Subsequently, the five Tier Seven experts jointly announced their joining of the Royal Knight Order, adding to the King of Flowing Fire, forming a force of one Tier Eight Knight and six Tier Seven Knights.

As the news of the five Tier Seven experts joining the Royal Knight Order quickly spread across the continent, leaders and experts of other forces were astonished.

They realized that this newly founded Royal Knight Order instantly became one of the most powerful organizations on the continent.

David, this Tier Eight Knight, along with the addition of five Tier Seven experts, elevated the overall strength of the Royal Knight Order to an entirely new level!

Moreover, a Tier Seven Knight inherently represented a kingdom or a powerful force, subtly shifting the balance of power on the continent.
