"Transcendent Knight!" The warriors who had followed their lords exclaimed in shock when they felt the oppressive aura akin to a heavy mountain coming from him. When the lords heard their subordinates' words, they were stupefied. They attended this meeting to show respect to House Silversword, but the main reason was Lucas's deterrent power.

The former was a Knight so he could sense the overwhelming presence of the latter. He had only felt this kind of pressure from Lucas and the few Transcendents that he had met. At this moment, everyone finally realized why Alaric was so confident about this orc subjugation plan. It turned out that a new Transcendent Knight had appeared in their household. The first one to regain his composure was Baron Nathan who had been quiet the entire time. He slapped the table out of excitement and laughed heartily. "Good! With Sir Galanar and Lord Alaric leading us in battle, what is there to be worried about?! Hahaha!" He had been silent this entire time since he was thinking about how he should pull out of this operation. However, the moment Galanar revealed his power, he immediately discarded the thought. Heck! This was a Transcendent Knight! A powerful human weapon that could kill dozens of enemies in a single strike! "Indeed! With Sir Galanar's power and Lord Alaric's brilliant plan, this mission would definitely be successful!" Another lord chimed in. The lords no longer hesitated and everyone readily expressed their desire to join the mission. Looking at the arrogant lords who were now flattering him like experienced bootlickers, Alaric smiled faintly. This is the commanding power of a Transcendent Knight! He thought to himself. If he had come here without Galanar, half of these lords might have pulled out from the plan. This was why it was important to have a strong leader in the army. Just their presence alone could drastically increase the army's morale. "Is this enough, Lord Argus?" Alaric turned his head toward the old baron who was still reeling in shock. He had a general idea of what House Silversword's goal was for this mission. He realized this when Alaric revealed Galanar's existence. "It's simple." The old man uttered. "House Silversword wants the empire to know that the North is their territory!" His words exploded like a bomb, shaking them to their core. "So arrogant?" The old man sneered. "They have the capital to be arrogant. Even in the central cities, only the dukedoms and a few other big territories have two Transcendents at their disposal." While the lords were nervously comprehending his words, Argus leaned on his seat while rubbing his temples. It seems like they don't intend to participate in the battle for the throne and they plan to use the orc subjugation to tell everyone in the empire that they have two Transcendents. What a carefully laid-out plan! Is this your work again Maria Keller? Maria's role in House Silversword was already known by everyone. She was the brain of the household and almost all the big decisions of the family were planned out by her. Argus was faced with a conundrum. On one side, the second prince who had extended an invitation to him, asking for his support. On the other hand, there was House Silversword, a tiger that had finally bared its fangs. He thought hard, but he couldn't come up with a decision. In the end, he gave up on thinking and let out a long, exhausted sigh. At this moment, Baron Smith clapped his hands to gather their attention. "Let's continue this conversation at another time, my lords. For now, please cooperate with me and tell me how many warriors you can bring for the orc subjugation. It would help a lot if you specify the levels of the warriors." He didn't dare neglect Alaric's instructions. "I'll go first." Baron Nathan eagerly volunteered. Smith Heinrich nodded to him and said. "Go ahead, Lord Nathan. Please tell me how many people you can bring." "Hm... We don't have a lot of warriors right now so I can only bring 50 warriors with me. One Elite Knight, five Knights, and the rest will be Knight Apprentices and normal warriors."
