Chapter 57: The Nobles’ Shock

David surged forward, his Frost Wolf Blade glowing with icy power as it slashed toward the Ice Bear Marquis.

Frost Wolf Sword Technique—Frost Wolf's Breath.

With each strike, the breath of the Ice Frost Giant Wolf imbued in his sword amplified the attack's destructive power. This heightened the Frost Wolf Sword Technique to an unprecedented level, surpassing the limits any Frost Wolf knight in history had achieved.

The Ice Bear Marquis's face contorted in disbelief. "This is impossible! Who are you? You can't be David!"

His eyes widened in desperation as memories of the late Frost Wolf Duke flashed through his mind. He couldn't reconcile the man in front of him with the "little wolf pup" he once dismissed.

But David had no intention of responding to his opponent's ramblings.

Their duel intensified. David's relentless attacks landed one blow after another, pushing the Marquis into a corner. With a precise thrust, David's blade pierced the Marquis's left hand, forcing him to drop his mighty warhammer. It crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.

"Lord Marquis!"

The nobles in the Ice Bear Coalition stood frozen, their faces etched with shock and disbelief.

Their invincible Marquis had fallen into a defensive posture, blood staining his once-pristine armor. David pressed the attack, each strike carving deep wounds and sapping the Marquis's strength.

"This isn't real! I can't lose!" The Marquis's voice cracked with desperation as he mustered the last vestiges of his strength, activating his Polar Bear bloodline in a final, desperate bid to turn the tide.

But his efforts were futile. David's icy precision allowed no openings.

Realizing his predicament, the Marquis shifted his tactics. He began retreating toward the Ice Bear Knight Corps, hoping to use them as a shield.

David smirked coldly. "You're not going anywhere."

Summoning the power of his Ice Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, David unleashed Frost Breath, a skill unique to his lineage. A beam of freezing energy shot forth, engulfing the Marquis.

Cracks echoed across the battlefield as frost rapidly spread over the Marquis's body. His movements slowed, and the cold seeped through his defenses. His desperate attempt to escape faltered as ice encased him completely.

"No... this can't be..." The Marquis's voice faded, his eyes wide with horror as frost claimed him entirely.

In his final moments, the Marquis realized the grave error of underestimating David. But it was too late. His frozen form now stood as an eternal testament to his defeat—a monument of failure on the battlefield.

The world seemed to pause. All eyes were fixed on the frozen figure of the Ice Bear Marquis.

Weapons clattered to the ground as Coalition soldiers and nobles alike surrendered. The psychological blow of their leader's demise was too much to bear.

"Lay down your arms, and you will not be harmed!" David's voice rang out, calm yet commanding.

The remaining Coalition forces hesitated but ultimately dropped their weapons, preferring captivity over certain death.

Even the once-proud Ice Bear Knight Corps, though reluctant, lowered their arms. The momentum of the battle had decisively shifted.

"Collect the enemy's weapons and assess the casualties," David ordered, his tone steady yet firm.

The Frost Wolf knights obeyed with enthusiasm, their gazes filled with admiration for their leader.

David's decisive victory had not only secured the battlefield but also reasserted the Frost Wolf family's dominance in the North.

"Lord David."

Gray Wolf Knight approached, his face alight with excitement. Though he had believed in David's strength, witnessing the complete defeat of the Ice Bear Marquis left him speechless.

"Duke David."

The nobles of Eagle Wing Fort approached cautiously, their expressions a mix of awe and deference.

They now looked at David with reverence, fully acknowledging him as their lord. What had begun as a mere alliance of necessity had transformed into genuine loyalty.

This battle had been more than just a military victory. It had shattered the perception of the Frost Wolf family's decline, proving to

all that the legendary house was poised for a grand resurgence.
