Chapter 1779 - 1196: Situation Sweeping Across the Entire Continent (Part 2)
His presence was both awe-inspiring and intimidating.
Now, everyone knows that the Frenzel family is very different from the past.
The current Frenzel family not only has a strategic-level magician but also boasts three Sword Saints.
Among these three Sword Saints, there is one who is young yet has already been bestowed with the title of the kingdom’s strongest, and even the other two Sword Saints regard themselves as his attendants, looking up to him for guidance.
How many Sword Saints does the entire Kingdom of Ginas have now?
Before Reiger, there were six.
Counting Reiger, it became seven.
After Reiger slew the Shadow Sword Saint, it went back to six.
With the emergence of Yuloli and Lilith, it then became eight again.
Eight Sword Saints, three of which are in the Frenzel family, with two of them looking up to Reiger, the strongest Sword Saint, who is tacitly paired with the strategic-level magician of the Frenzel family in everyone’s minds...
Who can handle such a situation?
Even the King struggles to cope!
The entire Kingdom of Ginas has only eight Sword Saints and two strategic-level magicians, totaling ten people.
Frenzel family?
There are four of them just in there!
At the thought of this, not to mention Saint Nidor, even all the noble forces in the royal capital began to treat the Frenzel family with great care, fearing to offend them.
Even the Muralijit family, which had some conflicts with Reiger earlier, had their strategic-level magician personally draft an apology letter, delivering it to the Frenzel family with a public and sincere apology. When Reiger first arrived at the Frenzel family, those troublesome families personally visited to apologize during this period, which goes to show the current status of the Frenzel family.
As for the second young master of the Rein family, who once intended to latch onto Reiger, Aquil Rein has reportedly been exiled to the frontier by the Rein family head, completely leaving the royal capital and never to return.
Those who mingled with Reiger’s past self have faded away, except for Kaliya, who, with the care of Saint Charia, has now inherited the Liya Earl family and become the new head of the Liya family, the current Earl of Liya.
As an affiliate of the Codelion family, the Liya family has also risen to prominence, now a newly emerging nobility in the Kingdom of Ginas with high status. It’s said that their doorsteps are about to be worn out by visitors, and even some marquis families must behave humbly in the Liya household, indicating the family’s current status.
Many from marquis families, even people from ducal families, have personally visited with intentions of marriage into the Liya family. A young master from a highly prestigious ducal family publicly proposed to Kaliya, willing to become her son-in-law, but was unfortunately rejected by Kaliya.
According to her, she currently has no intention of marriage, and perhaps never will, which has surprised many, with only a small number secretly speculating it may relate to the rising young Sword Saint...
In short, the power circles within the royal capital have undergone considerable turmoil recently, completely reshuffling until it has gradually settled down.
Regrettably, the gradually calming capital has, on this day, fallen into turmoil once again.
"Roar..."
"Howl..."
Amidst indistinct roars echoing in the air, filtering into the streets and alleys of the capital Yerufeli, citizens revealed anxious expressions.
"Clang—Clang—Clang—"
In the streets, groups of armored knights marched in unison toward the city gates and walls, accompanied by the sound of their metal equipment clashing.
In the sky, waves of magic power rippled like undulating water, lending a heavy atmosphere to the entire capital, with a foreboding sense of an impending crisis.
"Why have so many beasts appeared suddenly?"
"It’s been ages since the beasts last attacked the city, hasn’t it?"
"It’s not just a simple matter; I hear the beasts across the kingdom have all gone out of control, attacking the cities everywhere."
"What exactly is happening?"
"I hope the kingdom can hold out against the frenzied beasts..."
Such conversations not only occurred in the streets and alleys but also took place within the homes of the various nobles and influences.
Many noble families have even been conscripted, with strong members of the families rushing to the city gates and walls, joining the knights to resist the beast attacks.
In the uppermost office of the Frenzel estate, Yuri was opening a letter, reading its contents.
"Miss," Marilyn inquired softly, "is this a personal letter from the current King?"
Having once been of royal family herself, Marilyn had recognized the insignia engraved on the envelope.
That was the royal emblem.
Thus, she immediately guessed that this was a personal letter from the current King.
With past royal offspring sealed away after the marriage and childbirths, the unmarried and childless Saint Nidor remains the only royalty, leaving this letter possibly sent by him personally.
"Yes," Yuri replied while reading, frowning without turning her head, "His Majesty has personally sent a letter requesting my assistance if necessary."
"Requesting you, Miss?" Marilyn was somewhat taken aback, "Not requesting Mr. Reiger to act, but for you, Miss, to act personally?"
The implications are entirely different.
If Saint Nidor’s letter intended for Reiger to take action, that would be understandable.
Reiger himself is a Sword Saint, possessing two Sword Saint attendants, and if three Sword Saints joined the battle to defend against the beasts at the city gates and walls, it would undoubtedly be a formidable force.
But for Saint Nidor to request Yuri herself to act?
What does this signify?
It signifies that the war might require Yuri, a strategic-level magician, to deploy strategic-level magic, using power potent enough to determine the outcome of a war and obliterate a large city, to combat the beasts!
Has the beast assault reached a level dangerous enough to warrant the use of strategic-level magic for clearance?
While Marilyn was left dumbfounded by this, Yuri had finished reading the letter, tucking the parchment away.
"The situation near the capital is manageable, with the leader of the knights and Sword Saint Dihart present. As long as no overly powerful beasts, such as dragons, show up, they should be able to hold the defense."
"But according to His Majesty, other cities in the kingdom have also faced beast attacks, with some on the brink of disaster."
"Moreover, beyond the Kingdom of Ginas, other countries on the Akasa Continent have also been hit by beast attacks; many smaller countries are asking for aid, with reports of weaker ones being annihilated in less than a day."
"Therefore, His Majesty has personally written to request my intervention, if necessary, to use strategic-level magic to clear the beasts."
"He seems worried that the continued beast assaults might result in substantial losses, even for the Kingdom of Ginas."
Yuri’s expression was grave and serious, which moved Marilyn beside her deeply.
"The entire continent is suffering from beast attacks?" Marilyn murmured, "Isn’t that similar to the ancient magic civilization?"
At this remark, the atmosphere in the office turned heavy.
The demise of the ancient magic civilization was crystal clear to Yuri and others.
With Reiger and Liz present, persistently investigating the ancient magic civilization, they knew much more than the average person.
The current circumstances indeed drew parallels to the ancient magic civilization’s ultimate downfall.
"...It seems you can no longer simply watch things unfold," Yuri said, rising with a resolute air, speaking to Marilyn.
"I need to head to the city gates, Marilyn, you..."
She didn’t finish her sentence before being interrupted.
"No rush, it hasn’t reached that critical point yet."
