Before the duel began, no one from Sain Territory had anticipated such an outcome—that their Lord, the Bronze Level Baron Reisen, would actually be defeated by a nobody.
When Reisen's shoulder guard was dyed red and Ridder's longsword was pressed against his neck, Philton and Joffrey finally snapped out of their daze.
Raising their longswords and shouting, they rushed forward all at once with a dozen or so Professional Knights and thirty-six cavalrymen.
They all depended on Sain Territory. If Baron Reisen were killed, their own status would be massively impacted, and they might even lose everything they currently possessed.
Therefore, they would absolutely not stand by and let this happen.
Of course, Ronin wasn't about to let Ridder be surrounded.
"Charge!"
His Cloud Stepper shot forward as he led Macken and the others in a charge.
The two sides instantly surrounded Ridder and the fallen Reisen, but the fighting didn't start because Ridder had Reisen at his mercy.
