After several skirmishes with the Frontier Chosen the two Royal Knights finally destroy the Digital World and revive their Master, only to be betrayed when Lucemon kills them and absorbs all the data they have collected.

Digimon Savers
The Royal Knights as a whole were originally viewed upon as being antagonists, due to being ordered to destroy the Human World under the command of Yggdrasil when the Digital World is set to collide with the Real World. However, it is more likely that Yggdrasil ordered the attack because he viewed the humans as threats after the action of Kurata Akihiro, especially after he caused a massacre of digimon years previously after the expedition, created his own digimon, Gizmon, to kill other digimon and using the life energy from the destroyed digimon to revive Belphmon (a digimon who was one of the 7 Great Demon Lords and nearly destroyed the digital world years ago) to rule both humans and digimon.
