The smell of blood and the cries of battle raged around them, as the once peaceful Green Castle was now filled with the scent of iron and blood.
Following the location agreed upon with Baron, Freya and Damsdin rushed forward, killing any soldiers clad in imperial armor they encountered along the way, without facing any formidable opponents.
Soon, in the distance, a carriage pulled by a Black Warhorse appeared before them.
In Freya's line of sight, Baron, Eric, and several other important figures were suddenly visible among the chaos.
However, they were surrounded by a circle of imperial soldiers, and those inside were desperately holding their ground.
Baron was engaged in combat with two high-ranking Knight Level officers, wielding a massive black sword that spun like a whirlwind to block their attacks.
Baron's eyes were bloodshot, his expression slightly deranged, and his golden hair flowed wildly as he swung the giant sword, resembling an enraged Lion.
"I never expected to meet you all here! It seems Kaidy has come too!"
With a powerful swing that forced one Knight-Level Expert back, Baron shouted in a low voice.
"Andrei, I remember we were once brothers. If you lay down your weapons, when Byron falls, I will plead with the Duke to grant you an earldom!" The man who had been pushed back spat out blood and tempted him.
"Andrei, this invasion plan has been in motion for three years. If Saladin does not attack Byron, he will be rotted away by those corrupt high-ups in the empire! Do you remember Meliana? She was brutally murdered by Cherka Marquis!" another shouted loudly.
"…"
Baron stared intently at the two men. The betrayal from his brothers filled him with rage, but the reality was heavily against him. Moreover, according to Eric, Saladin would launch an attack tonight. At that moment...
'Is my Green Family destined for destruction?' A hint of helplessness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Freya rushed forward with a serious expression, raising her Cross Sword and releasing her grip on Damsdin.
"The situation isn't too bad!"
Ignoring the conversation among the three, the short sword in hand was shot out in an instant.
'Swish!'
A flash of silver light streaked through the air, striking the head of the Knight-Level Expert who was spitting blood, causing red and white liquid to splatter everywhere.
"What?!" The person who had been focused on the Baron never expected that one would die in the midst of their conversation.
Seizing the moment of distraction, the Baron threw his giant sword with all his might.
The massive sword, as wide as a door, carried such tremendous force and inertia that the man had no time to evade and could only attempt to raise his own sword to block.
'Bang!'
It was as if he had been hit by an oversized truck; in an instant, the man's body was cleaved in half along with his sword, blood splattering everywhere.
Taking a deep breath, the Baron lifted his head.
In the distance, he was stunned by the sight of a girl killing the imperial soldiers outside.
"...Freya."
Even though he had guessed who had come to save him, seeing it with his own eyes left him in disbelief.
'Splurt'
Slowly pulling the Cross Sword from the last Imperial soldier, wiping the blood off, Freya walked over to Baron.
“Father, I’ve come to save you!” she whispered.
“Could it be…” He reached out his hands to touch her beautiful face, now stained and slightly dirty with blood, unable to believe it.
“Yes, I have become a Knight Level!” Freya nodded firmly.
“Good! Good! Good! As expected of my daughter from the Green Family! ” After a moment of silence, Baron suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes filled with surprise.
After a long while, he wiped the smile from his face and looked at the two lifeless bodies, frowning slightly.
“If we encountered these two here, then Bailey must be in trouble as well!”
With a cold gaze, he turned to scan the crowd behind him and suddenly spoke seriously to Eric, who was standing nearby.
“Eric! You need to take the Cavalry to the secret passage I told you about and wait there! Be careful!” His voice was deep and carried a commanding tone.
“Yes!”
Without any hesitation, Eric nodded in agreement. However, upon hearing Baron's final warning, his expression shifted slightly.
Seeing the look in his son's eyes, Baron silently nodded and then said to Freya.
“You go help Bailey. Tonight we will leave this place forever and never return!”
“Okay!”
Freya looked at her father, who seemed to have aged significantly in an instant, with a complicated mood. The family that had been built over a hundred years was now completely destroyed, and this blow was undoubtedly immense.
Sensing Freya's thoughts, Baron's serious face softened slightly. He stroked Freya's hair, revealing a hint of comfort in his eyes.
"The destruction of the family is not terrifying. As long as you and Eric are alive, there will always be a chance to restore the Green Family!"
Feeling the warmth on her head, Freya nodded lightly.
Despite this, she knew how difficult it would be to stand up again in another place after leaving Byron; even if there was hope, it was minimal.
After taking one last glance at the people behind him, Baron walked over and pulled out the giant sword embedded in a corpse, resting it on his shoulder as he quickly disappeared into the darkness with Freya.
Meanwhile, in the Iron Mine Area of Green Territory, a large number of cavalry and soldiers clad in silver armor appeared. As fireworks erupted in the distance, a deep attack horn sounded.
Like an avalanche, Saladin's soldiers surged forward.
...
The two ran swiftly toward the location of the ball without stopping. Wherever they went, different corpses lay on the ground or in other places.
Some were maidservants, some were members of the castle guard, but many more were imperial soldiers.
However, both of them ignored them unless they encountered imperial soldiers still fighting, in which case Freya would stab them to death with one strike.
To her, the battles of these ordinary soldiers felt like a slow-motion film; killing them was almost effortless.
"It's Baron and Sister!"
Soon, some surviving Guard Members gathered around the two who had easily slaughtered the Imperial soldiers.
By the time they reached the ballroom, there were already more than ten people around them.
At this moment, the entire ballroom was in disarray, with numerous items and buildings damaged, and a pile of corpses lying on the ground.
Seeing this tragic scene, the Baron’s gaze sharpened as he quickly scanned the area and found Howard Bailey slumped against a pillar, a broken sword embedded in his abdomen.
Blood flowed down from the wound, but this tough man was still alive.
As he saw the Baron striding over, Howard Bailey cracked a smile that turned into a twisted expression due to the pain.
“…You’re here? It seems they have failed,” Howard Bailey said, his lips trembling slightly.
“Hmm! Don’t talk!” The Baron frowned slightly as he looked at the broken sword in Howard Bailey's abdomen. He reached out and pulled it out in one swift motion. Then he immediately took out a small white paper pouch from his waist and poured fine golden powder into the wound.
Watching the Baron carefully bandage his wound, Howard Bailey sighed softly, his gaze becoming unfocused.
“Andrei, I killed Kaidy…”
