Chapter 249 (1/2)

Atticus, it's a little mentioned name. After all, the person with that name has too many titles beyond his name, and few people in the kingdom are qualified to call him by his name. So even many recruits who join the royal order will not know the name of their chief commander after training. They'd rather call him the iron knight than the name nobody mentioned.

Atticus, the iron knight, is the head of the Knight Order of the kingdom of Cang lion. This title and the Knights of the Kingdom led by him can make neighboring countries and even elves feel afraid of existence. As the chief commander of the iron knight, this year has been nearly 70 years old. As a pure blood human, living to this age is a rare thing in this era, and the history books that can still fight in armor like Atticus are also special cases.

It's no wonder that there are rumors that the iron knight is a soldier blessed by gods and enjoys the blessing of fighting until the end of his life. However, after the rumors, Atticus himself is very clear that his physical condition is not as good as before. The reason why he was able to stand on the wall and wave his sword in this rat war depended more on the weapons in his hands.

Thinking of this, the long knight could not help looking at the sword in his hand. This one handed Knight's sword, called tieze, has been following Atticus for many years. Many people don't understand why high-ranking people like Atticus insist on using this seemingly bare weapon. You know, except for the knight oath engraved on the ridge, this cross shaped Knight Sword has no decoration at all. It is so simple that I'm afraid even the rookies who have just become knights will not choose it.

But the iron Knight knew that this sword actually had incomparable strength with ordinary weapons. Simply put, when something in the shadow appears in front of the sword, the knight oath on the iron rule will glow red, and the strength of the sword holder will be improved. Although Atticus did not know the existence of witch hunting knife, it did not prevent him from realizing how extraordinary the one handed sword handed down by the Lord of grey lion.

The iron rule at this time, under the light of fire, was still as sharp as when Atticus saw it for the first time. The inscription on the sword gave out a dim red light in the dark environment, but the light was regarded by passing soldiers as the bloodstain of killing too many rat people. Putting his sword back in his sheath, Atticus put his hands on the edge of the city wall, overlooking the wilderness outside the capital, where countless pairs of green shining eyes were peering at the city.

”Order the reserve team to be ready at any time. The mouse has no habit of resting at night.” Tightening his tight Cape, the chief Knight said to his adjutant.

”Your will, my Lord.” The young man, who seemed to be in his early twenties, saluted Atticus nervously and turned to inform his officers.

”Wait a minute.” When the adjutant turned around, the old knight stopped him, ”still no news from Lyon?”

”Your honor The whereabouts of the second commander and his troops are still unknown. ” The expression on the young adjutant's face is a little gloomy. For these Kingdom knights, Atticus is an unreachable legend, while Lyon is like a legend happened around. In terms of popularity, the blood lion may be more famous than the iron knight.

”I see. You go.” He waved his hand and told him to give orders. After the adjutant left, Atticus sighed a little and then looked north. That's where Lyon disappeared. Because of his physical weakness, the iron knight was eager to hand over the position of chief knight to the blood lion. He trained him for decades from Lyon or knight's retinue. In the eyes of the chief commander, his son and grandson with the same surname are not as good as Lyon in his heart.

”Don't die, boy.” In Atticus's gray eyes, he saw the serious face of the child who could not wipe his nose dry. This civilian born child asked to be the retinue of the iron knight who was already famous at that time with the most standard chivalry. It's hard for him to find out how to get this etiquette from other people.
