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.


    But even so, Atticus did not immediately agree to Lyon''s request, but gave him some money to support him to receive the most basic education. Because the iron Knight knows that those who only can ride on the horse with weapons and armor all day long can''t be called knights. In his heart, only those who really carry out the chivalry doctrine with their lives are qualified to wear the white lion Cape, which symbolizes the glory of the Kingdom, and can one day accept this iron rule.


    Therefore, Lyon''s defeat and disappearance for the iron Knight''s attack is probably still in the elderly bereavement above. The only thing supporting Atticus now is Lyon''s body, which has not yet been found. This kind of pain, also then transformed into the rat people this race''s monstrous hatred. Originally, when he knew that these monsters were the descendants of the grey lion and were transformed into them after being affected by the plague, the iron Knight advocated that the Pharmacists Association should find an antidote to this change. However, he is an absolute supporter of rat man extermination.


    "My Lord, the third reserve team that was not in place in time has been found." The messenger trotted to Atticus and said."Found it?" The iron Knight grasped the soldier''s words keenly, "what''s wrong with them?"


    "There are only seven survivors of the third reserve team, and all the others are missing from below the captain. The survivors were very frightened. It was found that there was a huge hole in their scene that did not exist before. According to the sober up person The thing that attacked them and made the hole was the devil. " The soldier seemed to think that his words sounded ridiculous. He was half low and did not dare to look at the face of the chief knight.


    "Devil?" Atticus was stunned for a moment. He thought that the reserve team was just timid, but he didn''t expect to return such a message. Iron Knight doesn''t know the existence of demons, but he also knows how fantastic it is to have demons in Cangshi. But the number of casualties will not lie, those who can not find the body of the soldiers, or take advantage of the chaos when deserters, or


    The iron Knight shook his head and suppressed the thought in his head. In the current war, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he must not be disordered. So in order to divert his attention, he continued.


    "Is there anything else?"


    Originally, Atticus did not expect the soldier to give any valuable information. Who ever thought that the soldier''s next words would make the old knight nearly faint.


    "The association of pharmacists was attacked this morning, and a number of assassins and mercenaries were arrested at the scene. His majesty ordered the Archduke of blood axe to execute the count of Lothar, but it is said that he did not complete his task and now he pleads with his Majesty in the palace. In addition, some people claim to have seen a lot of cloaked monsters in the dock area. "


    The iron Knight held the wall with one hand in case he fell down. He looked up at the faint twinkling stars in the sky and murmured.


    "Gods, are you joking
