The Dark King - Chapter 364

Chapter 364

The hall was silent . The rhythm of the rain penetrated into the hall .

Sander quietly looked at teenager . There were many thoughts passing through his mind . He hesitated for a while but at the end he couldn't be ask: "Master, can we ride over the ide?"

Dudian recovered his eyes as he slowly replied: "The hardest problem is the Mellon consortium . "

There was a trace of loss in Sander's eyes .

After sometime the rain got weaker .

A team of carriages came to park in front of the castle . A team of knights of light led by a blonde youth entered the hall . The man looked at Dudian: "Architect, because of recent chaotic situation I was ordered to protect your safety in case a criminal mob tries to attack you . "

There was a trace of surprise in Dudian's heart: "Thanks for the hard work . "

Sander's eyes lit up as he heard the knight of light's words . It meant that the Temple hadn't given up on Dudian . They still had a hope to survive if the Temple backed them .

Dudian made sure that the knights of light were settled in the castle . He commanded the servants to prepare his own carriage . He looked at Sander: "I'm going to Knight's Hall . If Gwyneth and Sergei brings news about the situation at the front line then send them to Knight's Hall!"

"To the Knight's Hall?" Sander was surprised . "Why would you go there? Do you have friends in Knight'ss Hall?"

Dudian slightly shook his head but didn't answer to his question . He ordered the coachman to drive .

. . .

. . .

By the golden wall .

Roar!

The barbarian army used a catapult to throw large rock at the golden wall . It had caused great damage to the wall and to the soldiers .

General Auburn's face was ugly as he observed the scene: "The intelligence department wasn't even able to detect so many catapults! Damned idiots!" He clenched his fists as his heart was full of anger . There was great responsibility lying on his shoulder as the commander of the guards of the golden wall . Although he had expected the barbarian would attack in the stormy weath but he didn't imagine that they will have so many ways to cope up with the military .

He hadn't seen such siege weapons used by the barbarians when they broke to King's Fort . He found out that he had underestimated the barbarians . Right now, the barbarians weren't inferior to the regular army in no way .

"Boom!"

A sudden sound echoed from the distance .

Auburn saw an eight-meter high giant frog bouncing up to the golden wall . It's huge body rolled as the soldiers were suppress under it . They didn't even have time to issue screams as they were pressed into meat mud .

Auburn's face changed as he grabbed an object which looked like a microsphone . He shouted: "Regie! Quickly send soldiers to block the giant frog . Order the purple feather troops to behead it as soon as possible!" His sound went through the microphone's pipline to another huge speaker .

A brawny man standing not far away from the speaker heard the general's words . He shouted in hurry: "Purple feather troops!"

At the same time the adjutant rushed to stop by Auburn's side: "7th, 9th, 12th, 34th artillery have stalled! The rain is to heavy and we can't ignite the artillery after the replacement of the shells . "

"Damn it!" Auburn frowned . He growled: "Make purple feather troops to replace the artillery . We have to block the gap!"

"Yes . " The adjutant ran back in haste .

"Damn it! The logistics department is useless! Damn!" Auburn's fist hit the wall in anger . He deliberately had made another batch of artillery whose purpose was to be used in such weather . However the war was not over as he had expected . Moreover in case the artillery was withdrawn from the battlefield their output would drop more than 50 percent . They wouldn't be able to stop the barbarians with just boulders and arrows!

The rain continued to pour down .

The rain water and blood was mixed as it colored the earth in red .

Barbarians rushed to the wall even though the numerous arrows dropped on them like hedgehogs . The barbarians kept marching over the dead bodies of their companions to climb the wall . Their brutal methods had frightened the soldiers . It was the first time that they saw the terrifying force of the barbarians .

. . .

. . .

The situation was tense in the golden wall while Dudian sat in his carriage as he moved to the Knight's Hall . There were very few carriages in the streets because of the heavy rain . The streets were kind of isolated . It gave him sense of serenity .

The carriage stopped and Dudian got off . He used umbrella to cover himself as he walked upstais to the Knight's Hall .

One of the squires who was standing as a guard in front of the Hall recognized Dudian: "Are you architect Dean?"

Dudian nodded in confirmation: "I want to be a knight and want to participate in the Hall's assessment . Please show me the way!"

"Become a knight?" Both guards were surprised . Even a senior architect wants to become a knight?

After a moment, Dudian entered the Knight's Hall .

It was a mgnificent building and the organization itself had a very ancient history . The power of the Knight's Hall was as big as the Holy Church and magistrate's . Moreover the knights of the magistrate and Holy Church were assessed by the Knight's Hall at the beginning . So the other two forces didn't want to offend the power that prepared knights for them .

Dudian went through a long corridor after passing through the entrance . There were huge sculptures at both sides which were as tall as ten meters . They were the depiction of the glorious knights from the history . Some of the were riding on a horse while the others held onto spears or swords .

Dudian walked while observing the sight .

There were information about the outstanding achievements acquired by the knights under the sculptures .

"Mr . Dean . Here please . " They reached the end of the corridor and the squire showed Dudian the way .

Dudian nodded and went inside .

The huge golden door opened as he entered inside .

Dudian sat by the tea table as he looked at the ancient hall that stood for hundreds of years . Moments later an old man wearing a blue robe came to sit in front of Dudian . His eyes lit up as he respectully said: "Greetings architect Dean . It's raining very heavily outside so may I know the purpose of your visit?"

Dudian got up and followed the ceremony: "My childhood dream was to a heroic knight! I want to see if I'm qualified to become a knight . "

The man's brows wrinkled as he slowly said: "Architect Dean you are part of the Temple and serve the God of Light . Why would you want to become a knight when you are spreading the love of God?"

"The knights are righteous, fair and just! I don't think my choice is impulsive as there things are what the God wants us to do!" Dudian smiled .

The old man looked at him: "The Knight's Hall does not refuse anyone who wants to participate in the assessment . We don't care whether the person is poor or a noble, whether they are disabled or sound . As long as there spirit of the knight is existent then there is a high chance that the person will be member of our Knight's Hall . We serve the spirit of knight and don't violate our codex at all times . "

Dudian seriously replied: "I'm willing to defend the spirit of the knight for the rest of my life! I'll never make the slightest violation that could affect my choice . "

The old man looked at him: "Alright, come over with me . I've to see if you have the spirit of the knight!"

"Un . " Dudian nodded .
