Recruiting Hermock - 2!

Dark Sovereign stood between the army of knights and the dwarves like an immovable wall.

A swarm of knights pounced at Dark Sovereign attempting to take him down, Their swords laced with aura. The army contained knights up to 6-stars as most of the higher-ranked aura knights were busy protecting the borders.

Slash!

Cling!

Dark Sovereign calmly parried their attacks with his trident, not letting even a single knight pass through.

Witnessing this scene, Duke Lanthorn bit his nail in nervousness, muttering to himself while moving in circles: "No, I cannot let those Dwarves escape. My men were supposed to save them, damn it! I can't allow some random guy to save them and obtain their subordination. They are a necessity for the church!"
