“Huh.....”
“Who’s the monster here?!”
“Or are they all monsters?!”
Witnessing the Knight Commander transform into a new monster,
left March 7th somewhat dumbfounded.
Just now, seeing the Knight Commander with a pious and holy expression,
she thought he was going to unleash some kind of dazzlingly bright attack!
As a result, he actually turned into a monster and started fighting the three monsters!
Could this be, using monsters to defeat monsters?
That's too strange!
“Sigh...”
“What I feared has come to pass.”
This sudden turn of events,
made Valter sigh involuntarily.
“Yang Shu, you mean...” Chu Chen looked at Valter with a dubious expression.
“Yes, he has the aura of Star Core power.”
Valter nodded, confirming Chu Chen's guess.
“As expected...”
“The native civilization here has already been tainted by the Star Core.”
“This is a bit tricky.”
Chu Chen frowned, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
If the Star Core colludes with the native civilization,
finding it again,
would be no easy feat.
“So strong!”
“After transforming, he can actually suppress the three monsters and beat them up!”
Ji Zi observed the transformed Knight Commander, unable to help but feel a little startled.
After transforming into a monster,
the Knight Commander's size was even taller than the Brute Giant by a whole head.
His strength also increased explosively,
a single, light punch could send the Brute Giant flying tens of meters away.
Therefore,
although there were three Brute Giants, giving them a numerical advantage.
It was they who ended up at a disadvantage!
The transformed Knight Commander was truly too powerful,
every move he made could unleash incredibly powerful strength.
He was beating the three Brute Giants so badly they had no power to fight back.
“Knight Commander is mighty!!”
“The Saint Envoy is mighty!!”
“The Empire is immortal!!”
With their own Knight Commander displaying his power,
the morale of the other Knights immediately soared, and they began to roar excitedly!
At this moment, for them, the Knight Commander was not a monstrous monstrosity,
but a hero who protected the Empire!
A hero worthy of their absolute devotion!
“Looking at them, it seems they are already used to this scene.”
“I wonder how they use the power of the Star Core.”
Looking at these zealous knights, Valter's brows furrowed deeply.
He didn’t know whether these people were bewitched by the Star Core or deceived by someone with ulterior motives.
If it were the latter,
then there might be a shocking conspiracy hidden within.
“Huh?!”
“The Knight Commander has encountered an accident!”
“His power seems to be fading!”
At this moment, Chu Chen, who had been observing all this, couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.
He didn’t know why,
when the powerful Knight Commander wanted to kill the three Brute Giants,
his massive body began to shrink rapidly, like a deflating balloon.
Soon, he returned to his original form.
And once he returned to normal,
in the eyes of the three Brute Giants, he immediately became a little brother.
So, the three Brute Giants all raised their arms,
wanting to crush the human who had just beaten them to a pulp!
“Damn it, the Blood Crystal malfunctioned at the critical moment!”
“Will I perish at the hands of these monsters?”
Seeing the Brute Giants’ arms wrapped in strong winds charging towards him,
the seemingly young Knight Commander’s eyes were filled with unwillingness.
He hadn’t completed the mission the Empire had entrusted him with,
He didn’t want to fall like this!
“Knight Commander!!”
“No!”
“Everyone, go and save the Knight Commander!!”
At this time, the other knights also noticed this sudden reversal,
they began to rush towards the Knight Commander desperately,
wanting to save him.
Unfortunately, they were too far away and wouldn’t be able to make it in time.
“Chu Chen, this might be an opportunity!”
“Understood!”
“Dimo, follow me!”
Just when the Knight Commander was about to die,
Chu Chen and Valter exchanged glances and understood each other's intentions in a flash.
And the next moment,
Chu Chen jumped directly, striking out resolutely,
using powerful magic to drive back the three Brute Giants.
Dimo turned into a streak of light following closely behind,
taking advantage of this opening to rescue the Knight Commander.
Then, March 7th and the others, under Valter's leadership, also came to the battlefield,
joining these Knights to fight bravely!
“The Knight Commander has been saved!!”
“It’s reinforcements!”
“We have reinforcements!!”
With the Knight Commander being rescued by Chu Chen and Dimo, the Knights on the field all let out cheers of relief.
“Dimo, go all out.”
“Let’s finish this quickly!”
“Dimo! (Understood!)”
On the other side,
After Chu Chen and Dimo exchanged a few words,
they directly launched a merciless attack on the three Brute Giants.
Various powerful energies began to roar continuously.
Soon, they blew up the place into a huge pit.
“Done, let’s grab the loot and go.”
Two minutes later,
casually putting the three hearts that dropped into the system space,
Chu Chen and Dimo exchanged glances, and then began to converge towards the others.
Then, with the addition of Chu Chen and Dimo,
the situation of the entire battlefield was completely one-sided,
soon, all the Riftworld creatures on the entire field were slaughtered.
...
“Brave warriors!”
“Allow me, on behalf of the Empire, to express my sincerest gratitude!”
“Thank you for saving me and my troops!”
“I will report your heroic deeds to the King, and he will bestow upon you rewards!”
After the battle,
the other Knights were responsible for clearing the battlefield.
But the Knight Commander came to Chu Chen and the others,
continuously thanking them.
“Knight Commander, you’re too kind!”
“Eliminating these monsters is the duty of every citizen of the Empire!”
Chu Chen first looked at Valter,
under his nod of approval,
he quickly stepped forward,
then, he enthusiastically helped the Knight Commander who was bowing and thanking them.
“To have warriors as selfless as you is truly a blessing for the Empire!”
“I wonder if you brave warriors would be willing to serve the Empire?”
“If you are willing.”
“I, Knight Commander Weren, am willing to vouch for you, to introduce you to His Majesty the King.”
Weren looked at Chu Chen, who was filled with righteous energy, and couldn’t help but feel like he had met someone with shared ideals.
He couldn’t help but feel a kinship with him.
As the Empire's Knight Commander, he valued justice above all else.
Therefore, the people he admired the most were those who, like him, valued justice.
And if these people who valued justice also possessed great strength.
They would gain his respect even more!
“Uh... this is too smooth?”
“Is there a trap?!”
Chu Chen looked at Weren’s eager gaze, his expression remained amiable,
but his heart couldn’t help but start to have doubts.
The reason he rescued them was because he had discussed it with Valter,
they planned to use the rescue as an entry point to infiltrate the Empire's internal workings.
Only in this way could they find a chance to investigate the Star Core.
After all, anyone with eyes could see,
that the Star Core was definitely within that so-called Empire.
It was most likely within the Imperial Palace.
So, if they wanted to find out the whereabouts of the Star Core, they had to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks first.
However, although he wanted to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks,
Chu Chen never thought he could get everything he wanted in one go, to directly step into the position of seeing the Empire's King.
After all, each of them had a distinct personality, they looked suspicious, how could they gain trust so quickly?
However, what Chu Chen didn’t know was that,
the Knight Commander named Weren in front of him was actually an outlier in the entire Empire.
He had only one way to judge whether someone was trustworthy or not.
That was to see if the person had the same sense of justice as him!
If they did, then they were trustworthy, he didn’t care what their background or origin was.
If not, even if the person was clean-cut, they wouldn’t get his trust.
He was simply that kind of person, a seemingly pedantic and rigid person who only followed his own code of chivalry.
So, Chu Chen and the others could be said to have stumbled upon the easiest person to talk to.
“Knight Commander, we are nothing more than commoners.”
“It would be inappropriate to directly meet the honorable King, wouldn’t it?”
Chu Chen didn’t dare to agree directly,
instead, he put on a very troubled expression.
“Brave warriors, there is nothing inappropriate about it!”
“To be honest, the Empire is now on the verge of collapse.”
“Those Calamity creatures have now completely broken through the Empire's first line of defense.”
“But the Empire is now somewhat empty.”
“It cannot produce enough strong personnel to fight these Calamity creatures.”
“Therefore, I implore you, for the sake of being fellow citizens of the Empire, to join the Imperial Army and fight alongside me to defend the Empire!”
Weren saw the trouble on Chu Chen's face,
thinking they were unwilling to join the Empire and be bound by it,
so he, without hesitation, knelt down on one knee and began to plead with Chu Chen and the others.
No one knew better than he how precarious the Empire was at this moment.
If they wanted to prevent the Empire from perishing, they had to strengthen the Empire's armed forces!
And Chu Chen and the others had just demonstrated their powerful strength,
conquering him.
Therefore, he, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the Empire, had to invite these strong individuals into the Empire's army!
For this, he could put aside his pride and dignity as Knight Commander.
