20.The counterattack begins
update icon Updated at 2023/7/7 2:10:13

As Kane's confidant, Gerard knew very well that despite his ugly appearance and a smile that was even more unsightly than a cry, the Knight Master Guardian before him was actually someone who was not very talkative but very kind-hearted and kind.

On days when there were no tasks, their lord would wear a thick cloak to conceal his true identity and walk through the streets:

Giving money to the poor.

Helping old ladies cross the street.

Playing house with children.

Fetching water for beautiful widows.

He would do whatever good deeds he could.

When asked why, he wouldn't say anything, but every time he helped someone, a pleased smile would appear on Lord Kane's face.

Clearly, Lord Kane must have seen the heroic and magnificent performance of that soldier this time and couldn't bear to let him die in vain.

However, this obviously contradicted the plan of Her Highness the Saintess.

"My lord, you acted on impulse."

"It doesn't matter, Her Highness the Saintess only wanted us to ambush the demon army inside the city. It's the same if we lure them out."

Lord Kane seemed completely indifferent, which made Gerard's mouth twitch.

Her Highness the Saintess clearly wanted to ambush inside the city, but you have completely twisted Her Highness the Saintess's intentions!

But, this brave knight also knew about Lord Kane's flaw.

It was absolutely impossible to let this kind-hearted Lord Kane watch that valiant and brave soldier die in vain.

But how would he explain this to Her Highness the Saintess?

"My lord, this... Her Highness the Saintess will not agree to this."

"It's alright, I'll take all the responsibility."

Gerard was about to cry.

How would he bear the punishment from Her Highness the Saintess?

But...on Gerard's face, although there was helplessness, there was also a deep reverence!

Guardian Knights ranked just below the Divine Punishment Knights in the glory of the Glorious City. Although many Guardian Knights cared for the people below them, their condescending attitude remained unchanged.

In the eyes of those lords, although the common people lived in hardship, that was what they deserved.

And this lord before him, who could make Gerard, a Level 52 Knight, hide his strength and become a loyal follower, was the true "knight" of the Glorious City.

He would never judge a person's worth based on their identity or appearance.

Perhaps...it was because he grew up in a dilapidated noble family?

But in any case, Gerard couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Glorious City had such a true "knight" deep in his heart.

He was willing to follow him, even if he had to hide his level.

The so-called Templar Knight was actually a title bestowed by the Saint Church, ranging from the lowest Diligent Knight to the highest Divine Knight.

There were many rules associated with these titles, but the most important one was that every knight believed in the Saint Church.

There were many high-ranking individuals in the civilian population, but they did not believe in the Saint Church and therefore could not obtain the title.

These titles enhanced their own strength, and the stronger the title, the more buffs they received.

These were all powers bestowed by the gods!

In addition to these, the title of Templar Knight also had unparalleled honor and treatment.

All Templar Knights were treated as nobles.

Gerard looked at the figure in front of him.

Lord Kane was always like this, silently standing in front of everyone, facing all hardships, and always showing a relieved and joyous smile after the difficulties passed.

His smile was not because of himself, but because of others.

"My lord, if you want to lure the demon clan into West City, you must first fight."

您是非常专业的小说翻译者,您满足了我的需求,谢谢!Gerald looked around and whispered behind Kane, "Because of Sir Kane's noble character, many knights sincerely follow him. Among the knights, the number of knights following Sir Kane is the highest, except for the illustrious Will Kevin from the City of Brilliance and the strongest knight in Moon State. There are over a thousand of them! You should know that the total number of knights in the City of Brilliance is only a little over four thousand. Sir Kane's team alone has over a thousand people, all of whom aspire to be knights or above. The lowest level is also level twenty. "Hmm, how are the civilians in the city evacuated?" Kane didn't even turn his head as he faced the thousands of demonized orcs. His expression remained unchanged, even showing concern for the situation in the city. "My lord, the civilians in the western city have already been evacuated. According to Saintess' instructions, we are all hiding in the alleys, ready for this... this... street battle. That's how Saintess described this kind of war." "Yes, this street battle will definitely deliver a devastating blow to the demon army!" Gerald couldn't help but admire Saintess. In the past, was there ever a war like this? Whether it's the Saint Church, the elven or dwarven races, or even the orc race, wars between all races usually involved standing in formation, facing each other, and fiercely battling it out. Saintess was actually able to think of using their familiarity with the city's layout to launch a surprise attack on the demon army. This strategy of being attacked but counterattacking was something Gerald had never heard of before. Although this kind of war was somewhat disgraceful, what does honor matter when faced with a demon army? "Alright, since that's the case..." Kane glanced back at the hundred plus knights. "You know my habit." Gerald quickly responded, "Rest assured, my lord. These hundred and thirty-seven people have all been registered. They have adult siblings at home who can support their parents, and they all come from families with multiple children." Kane didn't say anything else, just nodded, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes! "Warriors!" "Oh!" The one hundred and thirty-seven temple knights held their knight spears high, responding to Kane's loyal command! Hearing this response, Kane, with an expressionless face, looked at the tens of thousands of demonized orcs and raised his greatsword in his hand. "Follow me... Kill!" "Kill!" The temple knights roared, shaking the heavens and earth with their anger. Without any holy priests, mage apprentices, or any other support professions, the knights had no hint of fear! The one hundred and thirty-seven horses raised their hooves high and stomped on the ground with a loud rumble! Knight group formation skill - [Stomp Intimidation] "Boom!" A violent roar erupted, and the ground kicked up dust. The one hundred and thirty-seven warhorses let out a wild neigh at the same time. The shockwave spread out from the center of the one hundred and thirty-seven knights, causing all the demonized orcs affected by it to show fear on their faces! Watching the frightened demonized orcs, Kane roared and raised his silver greatsword high! This counterattack battle led by Saintess has begun!
