-----------
Sebastian threatened Reinhard with the lives of the people of an entire nation, so he had no choice but to obey his orders. However, after witnessing Sebastian transform the kingdom and improve people's lives, Reinhard began to admire him sincerely from the bottom of his heart.
Now, Reinhard's allegiance to Sebastian comes from sincerity rather than intimidation. Now under Sebastian's orders, he is responsible for intercepting Jircniv, who might attempt to escape.
"Protect the Emperor!" the four knights shouted simultaneously, drawing their weapons one after another and aiming them at Reinhard. Just looking at him, they didn't feel too much pressure.
"This person doesn't look very strong."
"Don't take it lightly!"
Although the four knights thought they were superior in terms of numbers and combat power, their intuition warned them that the person in front of them was no ordinary opponent. Otherwise, how could he have been positioned at the rear of the imperial army?
At that moment, wails echoed throughout the battlefield, but they were soon overwhelmed by the sounds of grinding tracks and artillery fire. Reinhard did not care; he focused on the four knights before him, then looked down at the weapon at his waist.
"Although it's a little rude, you should not be my opponents," Reinhard said politely. "Because my sword didn't respond."
The sword at his waist is called the Dragon Sword Reid, the highest-ranking sword in the Re:Zero world. It has been passed down through generations of sword masters, and only they can wield it. Moreover, the sword possesses self-awareness and will only be unsheathed against a suitable enemy.
When Reinhard looked at the four knights in front of him and found that the Dragon Sword did not respond, it indicated clearly that they were weaker than him.
"Dragon Sword?"
"What are you saying?"
"Don't be too arrogant! We are the Four Imperial Knights of the Empire, different from those everyday fighters!" Baziwood, the head of the Four Imperial Knights, said angrily. As a knight, the most unacceptable thing is to be underestimated by others.
The Four Imperial Knights are the most powerful force in the empire, with no one being able to surpass them in terms of martial arts accomplishments. In terms of levels, the Four Imperial Knights should be around level 30 or even lower. At least regarding individual combat power, they are far inferior to the warrior commander Gazef.
In the Re:Zero world, Reinhard possesses the most terrifying power at his peak, with numerous Divine Protections. Therefore, in this realm, Reinhard is effectively level 100. This does not mean that his strength is limited to level 100, but rather that it is the upper limit. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be equivalent to hundreds of levels.
In this world, the gap created by level differences is insurmountable. No matter how many lower-level warriors are present, they cannot compare to high-level existence, as quality always outweighs quantity. The existence of a level 100 is not equivalent to five level 20s; in fact, 100,000 level 20 warriors cannot damage even a single hair of a level 100 person. For high-level existences, low-level attacks can be ignored.
In the plot, even Ainz, a mage, can rely on his high level to easily defeat enemies using physical means. Therefore, Reinhard has no qualms about how many knights, be it four or four hundred.
"I'm sorry to be at war with you, but due to different positions, this battle is inevitable. If possible, I hope that everyone can surrender to avoid unnecessary fighting," Reinhard said.
"How is that possible? We are the Four Knights of the Empire and will never surrender to you!" Baziwood exclaimed loudly.
"I used to be a knight, and I pay high tribute to your chivalry. But I'm sorry, I have to take you down here." Reinhard stepped aside and picked up a dusty sword from the ground.
The battlefield was a mess, with corpses strewn across the ground and the weapons of the dead scattered to the side.
"Using random weapons?" Baziwood sneered. "It seems that we have been underestimated."
At this moment, Jircniv, who was being protected by the four knights, became serious; his intuition warned him that the man in front of him was extremely dangerous.
Reinhard held the sword and pointed it straight at the Four Imperial Knights. At that moment, there was a powerful force surging in the air, gathering around the blade—a display of its magic. Reinhard's magical power was very low, preventing him from using magic, but he had a unique physique that allowed him to absorb the surrounding magic power.
"What happened?!"
"We can't use magic anymore?!"
At that time, the army of magic casters in the Slane Theocracy was thrown into disarray because Reinhard had drained all the magic power around them, preventing them from using their spells. Without the ability to use magic, no matter how powerful a magic caster may be, they become indistinguishable from ordinary people.
[ ===== ]
"W-what is this?! Has it been taken away?" On the other side, Fluder felt a surge of magic power.
He could perceive the ranks of other people's magical power. Initially, he didn't regard Reinhard as a threat because the latter had too little magical power; he even thought Reinhard was merely a warrior under Sebastian. But now, Fluder realized how formidable Reinhard truly was, capable of absorbing the magic from others.
Sebastian's subordinates all possess powers that far exceed anything this world can offer; any one of them can easily destroy the empire.
It has only been ten minutes since the outbreak of the war, and the Baharuth Empire and the Slane Theocracy are already experiencing irreversible defeat. However, Fluder hesitated to intervene because he knew that his actions were futile.
In the face of the overwhelming strength of Sebastian and the G.D.I., he feels insignificant. What's more, now that Fluder has pledged his allegiance to them, he no longer cares what happens to the empire.
