Instead, the knight with a scar on his face who stood beside Prank Taketick, who was continuously criticizing Baron Taketick, abruptly let go of his hand with Alysia’s, and then spoke brusquely and matter-of-factly, "Have you never seen a woman before?"

"Your father didn’t even have a single illegitimate child, a true model among the nobility, but how many illegitimate children do you have?"

"Sometimes I think, it might be better to let one of your illegitimate children take over as the Family Head of the Taketick Family."

Hit by this unexpected criticism, Baron Taketick finally noticed Ivita’s discontent. He quickly apologized to Ivita and drained the cup of wine on the table in front of him to apologize.

Alysia was so scared that she fled to Ivita to apologize.

Ivita waved her hand to let Alysia go, saying, "I know it’s not your fault. You can go now, bring another servant here."

Alysia lowered her head and immediately ran out.

Seeing that no further trouble was caused, Councillor Ando and Robert exchanged a glance, feeling a bit disappointed.

If a single maid had led Ivita to view Baron Taketick unfavorably, and consequently form a bias against Viscount Winchester, they would have gained an advantage.

Regrettably, it seemed that Ivita was a very rational person.

The banquet, where everyone harbored their own motives, ended as dusk fell.

Ivita instructed the housekeeper to arrange accommodation for them in the castle. He then returned to his bedroom, and ordered the Mirror Spirit to monitor every move within the castle, giving her the authority to deploy Dragon Palace Magic, allowing Amelia Mirror Spirit to better monitor the castle.

Thus, Amelia Mirror Spirit, in the mirror, commanded all the water elements to patrol within the castle at night, ordering them to focus on Councillor Ando’s and the Baron’s rooms in order to prevent them from making a surprise attack and causing a disturbance.

Whether due to the presence of water elementals, or because the two parties dared not cause trouble on Ivita’s territory, the night passed peacefully.

On the following morning, an army of unprecedented size appeared outside Ivita’s domain.

It was the army of the thirteen provinces.

The army banner of the thirteen provinces bore the image of an erected sword, which fluttered in the wind, seemingly flashing with a chill, intimidating the enemy.

Upon being notified by Knight Griffin, Ivita reluctantly got up early. He first asked a round of servants about the Old Witch, who had not yet returned, not knowing what she was up to.

Afterwards, he came to the top of the castle wall and faced an imposing army composed of tens of thousands of heavy infantry.

The weakest amongst these troops were all regular warriors.

This was an army composed entirely of warriors.

Ivita even felt fear.

His forces combined with Councillor Ando’s and Baron Taketick’s armies would hardly be able to sustain an attack from the current enemy for long.

Is this the army of the thirteen provinces!

Atop the castle wall, Baron Taketick’s face contorted, for this was the city council’s reinforcement. "It’s the Blackwing Death Spear Mercenary Corps from the thirteen provinces."

"This is one of the top eight mercenary corps from the thirteen provinces."

"I thought the aid from the thirteen provinces was merely... "

"I didn’t expect they were serious about the reinforcement."

"Damn, you traitors of the city council, the thirteen provinces are located to the north of Ambros, you are inviting a wolf into the house."

Against his accusation, Councillor Ando calmly responded, "Lord Taketick, the thirteen provinces are known for their mercenaries. Could the mercenaries from the thirteen provinces not appear anywhere?"

"This time it’s nothing more than just discounted support for us, do not overstate."

Curious, Ivita inquired, "Are the thirteen provinces considered a kingdom power?"

Councillor Ando began explaining to Ivita, "It could only be considered a duchy-level power."

"But the thirteen provinces are one of the strongest duchy-level powers."

"The nobles there are not traditional land nobles, but the unique military nobility of the thirteen provinces, a specific class under their Black Iron Law."

"It could also be understood as a mercenary class nobility."

"In their society, mercenaries are the most honorable profession, and military personnel are the most admired by their citizens."

"You see that disciplined mercenary alignment outside the city, the weakest among them are all warriors."

"Who knows how many of them are knights. Our Ambros city council army finally has its own Knight Power."

"However, the most formidable is still the heavy infantry phalanx of the thirteen provinces."

Baron Taketick had a gloomy expression.

In his eyes, knights symbolized nobility, and the knights of Ambros had always sided with the nobility.

Therefore, at this moment, the acceptance of the city council of Ambros by the thirteen provinces, which boasts a tradition of noble mercenaries, emotionally upset him for a while.

Fortunately, even the thirteen provinces lacked Knight Power.

After all, the thirteen provinces were a loose nation formed by thirteen autonomous provinces striving for independence, and at the national level, it belonged to the Republic because the Mountain Thirteen Provinces National Committee ruled the thirteen autonomous provinces.

But at the grassroots level, each province belonged basically to a feudal military noble state.

Councillor Ando said to Ivita: "The thirteen provinces are located in the mountains and lack resources, and so can only earn money by selling military technology, but this has made the mercenary of the thirteen provinces one of the most professional armies in the Dark Magic Forest."
