Why must the devil be Defeated?-Chapter 247 - 246 “Yes thats right its me.”
Chapter 247: 246 “Yes, that’s right, it’s me.””
Chapter 247: 246 “Yes, that’s right, it’s me.””
Amid the incessant clamor, a loud shout arose.
“Kingdom Knights Commander Farbion Galuoli is coming…!”
At these words, the entire place suddenly fell silent.
Everyone, including Shane, turned their heads toward one direction.
There, several figures were making their way through the crowd from the campsite.
“What is all this commotion about?”
A voice tinged with annoyance emanated from the leader, a middle-aged knight.
Shane squinted his eyes, focusing on the commander of the Kingdom Knights.
———「Kingdom Knights」.
As the name suggests, a knight order directly under the Kingdom.
Although the Kingdom had the Guard Knight Order, known as the most steadfast bastion directly under the Royal Family, the Guard Knight Order only comprised real elite knights with each guard knight’s Level above seventy. The entire order had only seventy-seven members; the Kingdom naturally could not be protected by these seventy-seven people alone.
Thus, there was another knight order in the Kingdom, parallel to the Guard Knight Order, but it did not recruit high-level mighty figures; instead, it was the home for general knights.
There were only two requirements for joining this knight order.
One: An individual of clear origins without any issues.
Two: Level 30 or above.
Therefore, this Kingdom Knights was the grassroots force guarding the Kingdom, containing eight battalions, each battalion composed of ten middle teams, and each middle team made up of ten small teams, each with one hundred members.

In other words, the Kingdom Knights had a total of eighty thousand members. Although the level of these knights was far from matching those of the Guard Knight Order, the quantity of knights was far superior.
Now, the middle-aged man coming this way was none other than Kingdom Knights Commander——Farbion Galuoli.
The current head of the Kingdom Knights, Farbion, appeared here, bringing along all four Deputy Commanders.
Shane noticed at a glance that among these four Deputy Commanders was a Level 68 old knight, a Level 64 middle-aged woman, a Level 63 arrogant man, and a Level 61 beautiful woman.
Seeing these people, the surrounding adventurers all changed their colors.
“Is that old knight Cold Swordsman Kiefer Guss…!?”
“Is that woman Demon Slayer Kateri?”
“And there are the two most outstanding geniuses of the Galuo Li Family this generation, Reiseg and Lana…”
“Is this… isn’t this a full deployment?”
A crowd of adventurers began to clamor.
“They all appeared?”
Shane also felt something unusual.
These were not people of insignificant background.
As Shane knew, there were many knight-originated nobles in the Kingdom, the so-called Knight families.
Yet among these Knight families, there were three that were exceptionally outstanding.
One, indisputably, was the Elbein Family. They were the most loyal Knight family that has been guarding the Royal Family from generation to generation. The family’s ancestors were the mightiest comrades beside a Hero and also descendants of a former Hero. The successive family heads were all Legendary knights. For thousands of years, they had occupied the position of Commander of the Guard Knight Order, and they were undoubtedly the pinnacle among the Knight families, also sealed as Marquis among the Honorary Nobles.
The second was the Viladina Family.
The Viladina Family had an 800-year history; the family ancestors were famous Great Knights who, in an act of protecting the then King in a crisis, were titled as Nobles. After 800 years of development, they were now also one of the Great Nobles in the Kingdom.
The current head of the Viladina Family was now the Deputy Commander of the Guard Knight Order, a Level 89 Great Knight. This Deputy Commander had a genius daughter who, at the age of twenty-six, advanced to Level 70 and was elected into the Guard Knight Order as a Guard Knight. Now, at twenty-eight, she had caught the eye of the First Princess Liyadella and had become the personal protecting knight for her.
Yes, she was the Female Knight named Shanai beside Liya.
Her full name was Shanai Viladina, a Level 73 Guard Knight.
Therefore, the Viladina Family was also reputed as the second-ranking Knight family in the Kingdom, inferior only to the Elbein Family, holding a distinguished position.
As for the last one, it was the Galuo Li Family.
This knight family had not produced any supremely powerful knights.
At least, there were no knights from this family who had reached Level 80 or above.
Farbion Galuoli was no exception. He was close to fifty years old, yet his level was only seventy-one, barely qualifying to join the Guard Knight Order.
However, the Galuo Li Family had always controlled the Kingdom Knights.
To what extent, you ask?
First, every Commander of the Kingdom Knights had been a member of the Galuo Li Family.
Second, nearly every one of the four Deputy Commanders under the Commander were knights from the Galuo Li Family, with only a few exceptions over hundreds of years.
Furthermore, among the eight Great Knights, eighty Middle Team Leaders, and eight hundred Team Leaders in the knight order, more than half were either born into the Galuo Li Family or were affiliated with it through various connections.
It could be said that half of the territories and all the power of the Kingdom Knights were held in the hands of the Galuo Li Family, rendering it not at all excessive to call it a family knight order.
The reason for this was simple.
It was said that in the early days of the establishment of the Kingdom Knights, all the knights were personally selected and recruited by the Galuo Li Family.
In light of this, the Galuo Li Family had firmly held all the rights to the Kingdom Knights. The family was also an earl’s family, and in terms of power and wealth alone, they were far superior to the Elbein Family and the Viladina Family.
Now, the four names that the adventurers mentioned were those four Deputy Commanders who followed Farbion.
They were also the mainstays of the Galuo Li Family, the pinnacle of the Kingdom Knights, and, besides Farbion, the highest-ranking individuals in the Galuo Li Family.
These dignitaries had proudly appeared here, cutting through the crowd to stand before everyone.
“Why all this noise?”
Farbion asked impatiently, surveying the surrounding area.
The surrounding adventurers suddenly fell silent, their earlier boasts of confronting the Commander face to face vanishing.
“Commander…”
A knight, who seemed to be the leader here, came to Farbion’s side with a sense of relief and whispered something in his ear.
“The Princess’s Envoy?”
Upon understanding the situation, Farbion frowned noticeably and turned his gaze to Shane.
The other four Deputy Commanders also turned to Shane.
Upon seeing him, all four were taken aback and reacted differently.
“Isn’t that…”
The old knight Kiefer Guss seemed to recognize Shane, showing a surprised expression.
“Is it him?”
The middle-aged woman Carter also seemed somewhat astonished.
“Is he the adventurer who has recently become particularly close to the Princess?”
The haughty man Reiseg frowned displeased, his eyes filling with hostility as he stared at Shane.
“So it’s him…”
The charming Lana realized suddenly, her expression turning peculiar thereafter.
Shane observed the reactions of all five, his smile taking on a somewhat playful edge.
“It seems I need not introduce myself to you.”
Shane then spoke forthrightly.
“Yes, it’s me.”
This statement rendered the atmosphere somewhat nuanced.
