Chapter 468: Warmth (III)
The others from the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad very rapidly felt the recent changes in Cai’er. She became attached to Long Haochen, and except for their time of sleep, the two of them seemed to be stuck together all day. Long Haochen made her meals, and she accompanied him to wash the plates afterwards. No one disturbed them, even the loud sounds coming from the war outside seemed to be filtered out to their ears.
These days were only theirs.
Unfortunately, the fateful day came very fast, and interrupted them. Right at the eleventh day after the arrival of Long Haochen’s group in Exorcist Mountain Pass, Sheng Yue once again appeared in front of them.
”Haochen, I have good news. The Alliance decided to face the attack and meet it, preparing to clash with full force against the demon armies in this Holy War.” While telling them all this, Sheng Yue’s eyes were filled with murderous spirit.
“Eh?” Long Haochen looked at Sheng Yue in amazement, “Great-grandfather, then what about me?”
Shen Yue had a slight smile on his face, “Let alone you, even I didn’t expect that. Everyone actually showed unanimous support, and no one argued this verdict. You have formally become the future successor of the Knight Temple, and the Alliance will not spare any cost to protect you. Everyone was thinking the same. That your existence will be a terrible threat to the demons. When your strength grows enough, they will encounter their doom. As for our Holy War, its role will be to stall to see that day. Don’t worry, everything is heading towards the greatest possible direction, and you don’t need to worry about the battles. Although the demons took the initiative to begin this Holy War, their decision was very sudden, and are far from being prepared sufficiently. The horn of counterattack is waiting to be blown, the Temple Alliance has been preparing for just too long. The Demon God Emperor is indeed powerful, but attacking our Alliance won’t be an easy thing for him. The winner cannot be predicted.”
Hearing Sheng Yue’s words, the members of the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad relaxed greatly. Although Long Haochen didn’t worry, how could his comrades not be worried for him?
The decision of the Alliance was undoubtedly extremely inspiring. Now they had to put all their force in helping the Alliance to resist.
Long Haochen unconsciously clenched both his hands, “Great-grandfather, in this case, I am willing to give my life to the Alliance. Let my comrades and me return to demon territory to bite back at them. Their rear is surely empty. They will surely have demon gods guarding it. If we can get rid of some a few of them, it will certainly be a good hindrance to their Holy War.”
“
Sheng Yue immediately refused his suggestion, “This won’t do.
”
You are now the target of protection of the Alliance. How could we let you risk your life in demon territory? There will naturally be others to handle the enemies at the rear, it’s not something you have to worry about. After coming to this decision, the Alliance has issued a compulsory mission to your team. You will have to go complete this, and after that, you will officially be recognized as a King grade Demon Hunt Squad.”
“Mh? What mission is it?” Long Haochen asked, greatly surprised.
Sheng Yue had a sly smile, “This mission can’t be described as a hard one, but can’t be called an easy one either. All of you are elites of the great Temples. Because of your relationship with Haochen, you also gained the approval of the Alliance. So the Alliance decided that during the following period of time, you will be pursuing your training to become the new generation to succeed to the Alliance. So you have to return to the headquarters of your respective Temples, obeying the assignments from your respective Temples, to be nurtured and trained. Until you all became qualified to graduate.”
“What?” Everyone cried out in surprise together. This compulsory mission was naturally a good thing for their individual growth, but this also meant that their team would have to be temporarily disbanded.
“Won’t do, we don’t want to separate.” Lin Xin reacted eagerly.
Sheng Yue became stern, “Is that something you can afford? Your are part of the Alliance, and as Demon Hunters, obeying commands from above is your duty. That’s the common consensus the Alliance came to. Gain the backing of every Temple, including mine. Over these years, you have already contributed greatly to the Alliance, but your strength is far from enough. Now that you are the direct target of the demons, letting you carry out missions would only end in disaster. So now, what you need the most is a stable environment. Most of all, Long Haochen cannot advance prematurely, and absolutely cannot go take missions.”
