The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 100 is revealed, and the North is shocked!
Another three days passed.

The envoy sent by the Second Prince finally arrived at Frostwolf Ridge.

This messenger came with the Second Prince's order, so he was inevitably arrogant.

"Duke Frostwolf, His Majesty has given you one week to gather the knights and follow the Duke of the West's troops to attack the rebels in the East."

Dival gave the orders of the King of Silvermoon in a flat tone. Although the person in front of him was the Duke of Frostwolf, he represented the King of Silvermoon.

Moreover, he believed that the Frostwolf family did not have the ability to refuse.

"I said I would remain neutral in this fight."

But David didn't care about the messenger's threat at all and refused directly.

"You want to go against the will of the Silver Moon King?"

Dival seemed a little surprised. He did not expect that the Duke of Frostwolf would reject the Second Prince's order so directly. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Your Excellency the Duke, this is not a request that can be easily ignored. The rebellion in the East Territory has threatened the stability of the kingdom. Every noble has the responsibility to participate in suppressing the rebellion. This is also the result of the discussion between the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Royal Capital."

The messenger continued to emphasize the seriousness of the situation and the responsibilities that must be taken, and even implied the most direct threat, putting Frostwolf Ridge in opposition to the entire kingdom.

However, David remained unmoved. He looked at the messenger and shook his head, saying, "I understand the crisis brought about by the rebellion, but I have made my choice. Frostwolf Ridge will not participate in the conflict between any parties. We will protect our territory and people instead of becoming a tool in the struggle for royal power."

"Are you questioning His Majesty Blanco?"

Dival took a step forward, emitting the aura of a fourth-level Earth Knight!
Blanco actually sent an Earth Knight directly to issue a recruitment order to the nobles in the northern part of the Silver Moon Kingdom, obviously forcing these nobles to make a decision.

But facing the pressure from Duval's momentum, David remained motionless. At the same time, a stronger momentum appeared on his body, suppressing him in the opposite direction!

boom!
In an instant, the two forces collided with each other.

The next moment, Dival felt a completely irresistible force coming at him, which directly broke the aura he exuded and forced his body back!

"you!"

Dival's eyes widened slightly.

He knew that Duke Frostwolf was also an Earth Knight.

But he never thought that although they were both Earth Knights, the gap in strength would be so huge. He even felt that the other party was not an Earth Knight at all.

"You've broken through to level five?" He swallowed and asked uncertainly.

He naturally knew how difficult it was to liquefy his Dou Qi and thus break through to the fifth level. There were many Earth Knights in the royal capital, but only the families of the great nobles could cultivate a fifth-level Earth Knight.

However, the Frostwolf Duke in front of him was only a few years old, and the Frostwolf Family had already declined, so he could not imagine the possibility of the Frostwolf Duke breaking through to the fifth level.

David didn't look back. He just gathered his fighting spirit at his fingertips and pointed it at Dival's brow, with a momentum that seemed to be condensed into substance!

Dival instantly felt a sense of crisis and quickly activated his fighting spirit to transform it into a fighting spirit shield to block in front of him.

boo——

David's fingertips touched the fighting spirit shield.

The fighting spirit shield began to shake continuously and could break at any time!

"Fifth-level liquid fighting spirit!"

"You have really broken through to the fifth level!"

But although he had already started his own guessing, the liquid fighting spirit condensed by the Frostwolf Duke in front of him dealt a heavy blow to his heart!
Level five!

Duke Frostwolf is actually a fifth-level knight!
But how is this possible? How did Duke Frostwolf do it?
Could it be that the talent of the Frostwolf Duke is even more terrifying than that of His Highness Reynolds of the Silver Moon Star? After all, His Highness Reynolds has not even broken through to the fifth level!

"In this case, I can only report your decision to His Majesty truthfully. I hope you understand the possible consequences of your choice."

Dival knew that this matter was no longer something he could decide, so he could only pass the news back to the royal capital and let His Majesty Blanco decide how to deal with it personally.

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

David did not stop him. After Duval had been away for a while, he stood alone on the balcony of the castle, staring at the mountains in the distance.

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

Now that he's here, he can only solve it himself.

A hint of coldness gradually flashed in his eyes, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

……

After Dival left, he headed directly to the west.

Frostwolf Ridge is located in the northwest of the Northland, not far from the West.

But along the way, Dival was in a very heavy mood. When he arrived in Beiyuan, he directly asked the messenger to pass the news he had received back to the Western Territory.

Once the message is delivered to the Duke of the Western Territory, it will naturally be sent to the royal capital and finally to His Majesty Blanco.

Now, he just needs to wait for news in Beiyuan City.

But he never imagined that the god of death had already set his sights on him.

When Dival came out of the hotel and was on the way to the Wild Wolf Clan in Beiyuan City, an extremely strong figure suddenly appeared.

The figure was wearing a set of chain mail forged from fine iron, which completely covered his entire body including his head, leaving only his two eyes exposed.

"who are you?"

As soon as Dival asked the question, the figure rushed over.

Every time his sturdy body stepped on the ground, the ground would be slightly shattered, just like a mad bison, charging forward!

Dival quickly drew out the knight's sword, gathered his fighting spirit on the sword, and faced forward, slashing at the face of the armored knight who suddenly appeared!
This armored knight was none other than David who had been following him.

Seeing Dival coming towards him, he raised his left hand and directly blocked the sword attack, then stretched out his other hand and grabbed Dival.

Fortunately, Dival remained alert and slashed at the big hand that suddenly stretched out his sword again. Sparks flew from the sword and chain mail!
But in the next moment, David suddenly grabbed the blade of the knight's sword, and his terrifying fifth-level physical fitness burst out, and he actually broke the sword!
Dival was shocked when he saw this scene. He had never thought that someone could break his sword wrapped in fighting spirit just by relying on his body. This made Dival realize that the other party might also be a fifth-level knight!
In such a short time, he actually met two fifth-level knights in the North. Is this really known as the weakest North?
Aren’t all the North’s resources and strength concentrated in the Northern Fortress?

Duval really wanted to curse at this moment. If he knew that this place was so dangerous, he would never have stopped this kind of work. He originally wanted to find some sense of presence in front of His Highness Blanco, but now he has put himself in danger!

All his thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Dival stepped back and condensed a fighting spirit shield to protect himself. Then he ran directly towards the castle of the Wild Wolf Family. Now only the Wild Wolf Family could save him!
But how could David let him leave? His figure suddenly shot out like a cannonball. His fifth-level physical fitness also made him much faster than the average Earth Knight. In just a few breaths, he came behind Dival and punched directly on the Dou Qi shield.

Boom boom boom——

The fighting spirit shield was not broken, so David threw several punches in succession.

Click click click——

Not long after, cracks appeared on the fighting spirit shield condensed by Dival.

Finally, under Dival's somewhat desperate gaze, the fighting spirit shield was completely shattered. Dival knew he could not escape, so he could only turn around and fight.

He possesses the blood of the giant earth lizard, so strength is his strong point. Coupled with his fighting spirit, he was very confident in his own strength.

However, the being in front of him didn't even activate his fighting spirit, but just relied on a pair of fists to suppress his strength.

The knight's sword was broken, so Duval could only use the scabbard as a sword.

But how could he be a match for David, who possesses the fifth-level physical fitness? Even the extraordinary magical beast like the Earth Dragon Beast, the king of the land, cannot compete with him!
boom!
Another collision, and Dival's body was knocked away by a punch!
After flying for a distance in the air, Dival's body fell heavily to the ground, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

David moved closer and closer, and came directly in front of Dival. With two punches, he shattered the fighting spirit shield that Dival had condensed!
"I am from the Earth Giant Lizard family, and I am the envoy from the North appointed by His Majesty Bronco himself. Do you want to go against the entire Silver Moon Kingdom?" Dival roared.

He knew he had already lost, and if he continued he would die!

David said nothing throughout the whole process, but his hands kept moving. He punched out with all his strength, directly hitting Dival's head, and blood splattered everywhere!

It's over, and the world is quiet.

David confirmed that Dival was dead, then he slowly retracted his fist.

At this time, a circle of city security teams had arrived around the battlefield, but because they were holding knight swords in their hands, no one dared to step forward.

This was a battle at the Earth Knight level, and one side had an overwhelming victory. Even if they went up to fight, they would only be seeking their deaths.

David's eyes hidden under the helmet scanned the sheriffs, without even looking at the dead Dival on the ground, and turned to walk out of the city. It was unknown how long it took for the Wild Wolf Count of Beiyuan City to arrive at the battlefield. He looked at Dival, whose head was blown off, and his face was very solemn.

Although he could no longer recognize Duval's human appearance, the words Duval shouted before his death had already made him know Duval's identity.

The Earth Lizard Family is a vassal family attached to the Silver Moon Royal Family. There is also a fifth-level Earth Knight in the family, which is considered one of the great nobles of the kingdom.

But now, someone from the Earth Giant Lizard family had actually died in Beiyuan City, and Count Wild Wolf's face gradually darkened.

Fifth-order Earth Knight.

Being able to beat Duval to death with just his fists was already beyond what he could handle.

He closed his eyes and thought about it, and decided to report the situation here truthfully.

And this time, there were too many people who witnessed the battle.

It is conceivable that it won't be long before this news spreads throughout the North.

Things turned out just as Count Wild Wolf had expected. The northern nobles soon learned everything that had happened in Beiyuan City.

Not only in the North, other nobles in the Silver Moon Kingdom also got the news, which caused a heated discussion in the aristocratic circle for a while.

However, the person who attacked this time was wearing full body armor, and he did not activate his bloodline power or fighting spirit at all, so no one could confirm his identity.

However, most people think that this was done by someone sent by the eldest prince.

Now, the fight between the eldest prince and the second prince for the throne is known to everyone, and both forces are doing their best to recruit nobles from all over the world.

Westbound Fortress.

The Duke of the West is reading the last letter from Duval before his death.

Looking at the above content, the Duke of the Western Territory's face gradually darkened.

David, the Frostwolf Duke, has successfully broken through to the fifth-level Earth Knight!
He remembered that Duke Frostwolf was less than twenty years old at most, right?

For a fifth-level Earth Knight who is less than twenty years old, the speed at which his strength is improving is not enough to be described as a genius.

"So, before the old Frostwolf died, did he leave any backup plans for the Frostwolf family?"

The Duke of the Western Territory couldn't help but think of the most dazzling existence among the younger generation.

But such a genius once again stood against them.

neutral?

There is no neutrality in the civil war of royal power!

It can be seen from Duke Frostwolf's attitude that he does not recognize the kingship of His Majesty Bronco.

This is a naked provocation to them.

If Duke Frostwolf was not already a fifth-rank earth knight, he would definitely send troops to flatten Frostwolf Ridge immediately!
Even Dival's death might have been done for the Frostwolf Duke!
Dival had just left Frostwolf Ridge when he was killed directly in Icefield City, and the opponent was obviously well prepared.

In this case, unless this fifth-level Earth Knight has been tracking Dival for a long time, no one can find Dival so clearly and kill him.

"Did he kill Duval?"

"Then, what was his purpose in killing Dival? Was it just for shock?"

There was a look of doubt and surprise on the face of the Duke of the Western Territory.

If Dival was killed by the Frostwolf Duke, then his actions also show that he is an unscrupulous person.

Since he was able to kill Dival so decisively, he could also kill others in the same way.

A fifth-level Earth Knight lord is not scary.

But this fifth-level Earth Knight did not act according to the rules at all, and even the royal family had to be wary of him.

Unless you can kill this fifth-level Earth Knight directly, you must always be on guard against the revenge of a fifth-level Earth Knight!

Is this what Duke Frostwolf wanted to express?

The Duke of the West clenched his fists tightly. Now he was still just in doubt, but even if he really wanted to deal with the Duke of Frostwolf, he had to be fully prepared.

Frostwolf Hill, City Hall.

David was also watching the actions of various forces.

Seeing that there was no unusual movement in the north, a smile appeared on his face.

He chose to follow Duval and kill him head-on in Beiyuan City in order to deter all parties.

Even though he possesses the strength of a fifth-level Earth Knight, it is not enough to intimidate.

But if this is a fifth-level Earth Knight who doesn't play by the rules, everyone would have to consider the consequences.

Of course, he didn't expect the Second Prince and his gang to be really intimidated.

But as long as he can get enough time for development, his goal has been achieved.

However, now is not the time to fall out with the Second Prince, so he chose to act secretly.

As long as he is not caught on the spot, what’s the point even if everyone suspects that he did it?

Even if the second prince still chose to take action in the end, everything would just return to the starting point, and Dival, the Earth Knight, would be missing.

Now that he has completely transformed into a beast, he temporarily possesses the power of the sixth level. Even if the Duke of the Western Territory takes action personally, he is fully capable of fighting!
Soon.

The news that David successfully broke through to the fifth-level Earth Knight also spread.

When all the nobles in the North heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief.

But when they thought of the defeat of Marquis Ice Bear, they all fell silent again.

Afterwards, the nobles of Ice Bear City took the lead and went to Frostwolf Ridge with gifts, followed by other nobles in the surrounding areas.

They all obviously came here with a tentative attitude. The appearance of a fifth-level Earth Knight in the North again is definitely a big event for the North.

David even held a banquet for this occasion.

These nobles who arrived were basically located in the northwest corner of the Northland.

In addition to testing the strength of Duke Frostwolf, they also wanted to test Duke Frostwolf's attitude in the Silvermoon Civil War.

David did not hide anything and showed his fifth-level strength.

Afterwards, he still expressed his neutral stance and tried to pull these nobles into his neutral camp.

After the party, David breathed a sigh of relief.

The two looked at each other and felt the joy in each other's eyes.

This time, his female companion at the banquet was none other than Princess Reina, the Crystal Song Princess.

When Reina appeared in a noble evening dress, she really amazed all the nobles.

"Reina, you look so beautiful today."

"Thank you."

Reina drank some wine and her face turned slightly red.

David walked forward, picked up Princess Jingge, held up the long hem of her evening gown, and walked towards the bedroom.

In addition to these preparations to deal with the second prince's forces, the most important thing is to improve one's own strength.

His current goal is to upgrade the Snow Demon Soul to the sixth level.

Only as long as he improves his normal strength to the sixth level, he will be able to gain a foothold in the North.
