Chapter 507: Provisional Saint Knight Head (I)
“Don’t be discontented by the restrictions the Alliance put on you. That’s because way too many hopes were placed on you. Your astonishing speed of growth is already giving us real hopes of success. If you manage to grow, even the Demon God Emperor will not necessarily be your match!” With two supra-divine tools, even the Demon God Emperor may indeed succumb to him.
Long Haochen nodded silently, “Grandpa Yang, I have never blamed the Alliance in my life. I know that everyone is doing all they can for me. Don’t worry, I will definitely pay attention to my own safety and do my best to avoid taking risks.”
Yang Haohan smiled at his reply, “That’s all for the best then. No matter what we may say, although you violated orders today, your performance enabled us to obtain a great victory. This battle let us weaken the enemy forces, making our Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass gain in stability. Old Long, how about from now on these two participate in the. meetings of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass? Since we are training successors, there’s no harm in increasing our pace a bit.
Long Tianying acquiesced; “Maybe. I will convene a military meeting right now. You two can come along.”
Yang Haohan remarked, “Old Long, the news about this Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon of Haochen’s was very sudden. I am going back to the Alliance for a trip. Since the Holy War has reached this stage, we have to think over the future. I am going to assemble the Six Great Temples for a meeting, so I am leaving the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to you for the moment.”
Long Tianying and Yang Haohan having worked together so many years, he immediately understood the meaning hidden behind his words, and nodded with no hesitation, “Be at ease with me here. In any case, if it comes to the worst, then we can just... ”
At this moment, he stopped in the middle of his sentence. The two Divine Knights then exchanged glances, their eyes bitingly cold.
Long Haochen and Han Yu had a start. Although Long Tianying didn’t say it clearly, it could be understood from his words that the Knight Temple seemed to actually have other trump cards, that would even be able to resist against the eight demon gods leading the armies. These six thousand years of preparations were indeed not for nothing.
Long Tianying and Yang Haohan had a simple conversation, before taking Long Haochen and Han Yu straight into the conference room of the Knight Temple.
The Dragon Resisting Mountain didn't have a separate military force. Its defense was entirely under the control of the Knight Temple; and as a Divine Knight, Long Tianying was considered chief of the military. When Long Xingyu was still present, Long Tianying had been planning on passing this role onto him. The problem was that the relationship between father and son was not so good, and Xingyu had his own plans. So after a certain period of time, he returned the supreme authority to control the Knight Temple’s military to his father, and went to seek after an even greater power.
At the current time, the conference room could be described as absolutely dazzling. At the time Long Haochen and Han Yu followed Long Tianying to enter the conference room, they saw at least twenty Gold Essence Foundation Knights, with some of them being very high ranked officers clad in legendary tier armor.
Long Tianying’s authority in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was unquestionable. As soon as he entered, all the knights present stood, placing their right fists on their chest, producing a resonant metallic sound.
Long Tianying took Long Haochen and Han Yu to the main seat, where he signalled the high ranked officer to sit down, before sitting down as well. Naturally, Long Haochen and Han Yu didn’t have seats of their own, and stood behind Long Tianying.
Yet Long Haochen actually became the focal point of everyone present.
Gold Essence Foundation Knights were all well known figures among Saint Knights, and were therefore quite familiar with each other. Behind every Gold Essence Foundation Armorwas a powerful, well-known Saint Knight. As a newcomer, Long Haochen was clearly not familiar to these veterans, but in the previous battle, he could be said to be the most dazzling. The shock from that seven-colored light, which got rid of two famous Fiend Commanders, created a peak of morale for all the knights present, so he remained deeply in the memories of these high-placed knights. Therefore, although they didn’t know who this newly promoted Gold Essence Foundation Knight was, their looks were full of goodwill towards him.
Seeing everyone present sitting down, Long Tianying declared, “Today, we acquired an unexpected victory, as we repelled for another time the demon attacks. I can see in each of you the glory of a knight. Let me introduce these two at my back to everyone. This is Han Yu. I believe that you have seen him before, he’s one of your juniors, and the only grandson of the Saint Knight Han Qian who is currently taking care of a lot of affairs while keeping watch on the Alliance. After discussing this with the Alliance Head, we decided that from today onwards he will also be qualified to join all the military conferences taking place in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass as a visitor.”
The group of knights remained silent, and only nodded in response. To say nothing of his identity as the only grandson of Han Qian, his performance in the Holy War was enough to gain approval from these high-placed officers: killing the enemy without fear, giving appropriate orders to his subordinates,and before he turned thirty, he had already become a Temple Knight of the seventh step. With these feats, obtaining special treatment from the Temple was nothing surprising. Everyone here could see that Long Tianying was putting effort into cultivating Han Yu to serve as a major character among the future generation. Given his outstanding performance, he would very possibly become a Divine Knight in the near future.
Han Yu took a step forward, bowing with a standard knight salute, before returning behind Long Tianying.
