“Looks like my arrival is quite timely.”

Sauron appeared from afar with a composed expression, accompanied by Shieltin and Anka.

As he spoke, he tossed the longbow in his hand to Anka beside him, the movement as dashing as it was casual, as if the tense situation before him was of no concern.

The moment Monica saw Sauron, her previously taut face immediately broke into a look of elation.

She excitedly shouted, “Knight Bren!”

Her voice was filled with surprise and relief, as if Sauron's presence alone could resolve the predicament they faced.

Upon hearing Monica's call, the heavy armored knight's expression instantly changed, and he secretly cursed inwardly.

He didn't recognize the name "Knight Bren," but the two knights behind Bren were not easy to deal with.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly drew a signal flare from his waist and shot it forcefully towards the sky.

The signal flare streaked upwards with a bright tail of light, soaring into the clouds with a "whoosh," exploding in the air and blossoming into an eye-catching red flower, appearing particularly glaring against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds.

Sauron slightly raised his head, watching the dazzling yet somewhat ominous signal flare in the sky, the corners of his mouth curving into a playful smile, a smile that seemed to hold both amusement and disdain for the heavy armored knight's actions.

His gaze slowly shifted to the heavy armored knight, his eyes revealing an undeniable sense of oppression, his voice steady yet carrying a hint of questioning, as he spoke, “Knight, do you know what you are doing?”

His voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to possess a kind of magic, making the already tense atmosphere even more heavy.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the heavy armored knight, waiting to see his response.

The heavy armored knight felt a surge of panic in his heart.

Although he had launched the signal flare, he had no confidence in the face of Sauron's imposing manner.

But with things having reached this point, he gritted his teeth and replied, feigning composure, “Knight Bren, you are disrupting matters here for no reason and attempting to prevent me from performing my official duties.

This signal flare is naturally to inform the town of the situation and have them deal with you and others who are disturbing the peace.”

His words were forceful, but the hand holding the reins tightened involuntarily, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, clearly filled with worry about the situation that might unfold.

Before long, a rapid and heavy sound of hooves broke the somewhat僵持atmosphere, and hundreds of knights poured out from all parts of the town like a surging tide.

In an instant, dust flew, and the momentum was vast.

These knights were all clad in well-made armor, wielding gleaming weapons, and exuding an extraordinary aura from head to toe.

Upon closer inspection, each of them possessed a fifth or sixth-tier strength, and the powerful auras converged together, seeming to form an invisible pressure, shrouding this area.

Following closely behind, three hundred infantrymen marched over with neat and powerful steps.

Although they did not have the eye-catching equipment and aura of the knights, they were not to be underestimated.

Each infantryman exuded a sense of vigor and had a second or third-tier cultivation, capable of playing a significant role in battle.

Such extraordinary combat power gathered together was truly astounding.

It should be known that, according to common sense, a small viscount's ability to possess military strength and power is extremely limited, and it is impossible to have such a large and powerful armed force.

The heavy armored knight who stopped Monica and the others showed a seventh-tier cultivation, which is quite a formidable character anywhere, further highlighting the unusual nature of the forces behind him.

Monica and the others looked at the many powerful combatants who suddenly appeared before them, their expressions becoming more solemn.

They knew in their hearts that the already棘手situation had become even more dangerous, and with the strength of their small team alone,

breaking through this heavy encirclement was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

However, their gazes still unconsciously turned to Sauron.

In their hearts, since Sauron had appeared, perhaps he had a solution, and at this moment, they could only place their hopes on him.

Sauron, on the other hand, remained composed, his eyes calmly scanning the menacing soldiers before him,

as if assessing the strength of the other party.

That playful smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, showing no panic because of the opponent's numerical superiority,

just standing there quietly, waiting for the next change in the situation, as if everything was under his control.

In his opinion, no matter how strong this Knight Bren was, as long as he could find a way to capture him and take him back, even if the family powerhouses behind the other party came to question him, it wouldn't matter.

They had a powerful lord with unfathomable strength behind them.

As long as that lord was willing to take action, with his great influence and power, he believed that he could completely suppress this matter and let everything subside quietly.

After all, if they were allowed to escape at this moment, there would inevitably be many unnecessary accidents in the future.

No one knew where these people would go or which forces they would reveal what they had seen and heard here.

If the news spread and more people realized the secrets hidden in Bellus Town, it would completely disrupt the many things they had been secretly planning.

The chain reaction that would be triggered by then was probably not something they could bear.

Therefore, at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and put on a businesslike appearance, trying to force Sauron and others to obey and return to the town to accept the investigation, even knowing that this process might not be so smooth, and might even trigger a fierce conflict, he had no other choice.

Sauron listened to the heavy armored knight's words, but only raised his eyebrows slightly, with that playful smile still on his face, as if he had heard a great joke.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, “Assist with the investigation? Hmph, do you think I would believe your high-sounding rhetoric? The secrets hidden in your town are probably not for public consumption. Now you want to use the name of investigation to manipulate me, isn't that a bit too naive?”

His words made the heavy armored knight's face even more ugly, and the surrounding hundreds of knights and three hundred infantrymen who had already surrounded them also stirred slightly, seemingly ready to obey orders and launch an attack on Sauron and others,

the atmosphere instantly became tense again, on the verge of breaking out.
