Chapter 507: Provisional Saint Knight Head (I) (2/2)
Long Tianying shifted his gaze on Long Haochen, “This one is a newly promoted Gold Essence Foundation Knight. On him is the 12th Gold Essence Foundation Armor. I believe that everyone saw his performance in the battlefield.”
For the moment, I cannot give a more detailed introduction of him to everyone. You can call him Twelfth Golden Knight. Including that shield that you all saw in the battlefield, his strength was entirely acquired through his own ability, without support from the Alliance. I announce hereby that he will be temporarily acting as a Saint Knight Head, commanding all the Mythril Foundation Knights.
With this mere declaration, comments immediately overflowed, shocking even the person concerned. How could he know that his grandfather would actually bestow on him such an important task?
A Saint Knight Head? In the Knight Temple, this position is the highest below only the few Divine Knights and Saint Knight Elders.
Sitting below, an elder made a comment, “Head, isn’t this choice kind of sloppy? Besides, we are unfamiliar with this newly promoted Gold Essence Foundation Knight.”
This elder was one of the few people not clad in full armor. He had short white hair arranged in order, a tall stature, and was clad in a white robe. His eyes seemed to be glinting brightly, and, even with his mental force, Long Haochen was unable to see through his actual cultivation. The space around his body faintly seemed distorted.
Long Tianying declared to the elder, “Comrade, this decision was made by Alliance Head and I after deliberation. This Twelfth Golden Knight is a retired Demon Hunter, who made an extremely great contribution for the Alliance, and is totally suited for this post.”
The elder in the white gown looked down in approval, and became silent. From Long Tianying’s appellation for him, one could see that this elder had a good position in the Knight Temple.
Long Tianying turned back to the other high ranked officers, “The duty of Saint Knight Head has been held by Han Qian for a long time, but over the past years, he has mostly been participating in handling the official matters for the Alliance, and unable to lead the Saint Knight Regiment to kill the enemy. I know that some of you, especially those that are Gold Essence Foundation Knights, are not convinced about the Twelfth Golden Knight’s ability. But the Temple would definitely not make a sloppy choice. I will merely reveal one of the accomplishments he has done. If anyone here has done a greater accomplishment than this, this declaration will be withdrawn, and the one taking the position of Provisional Saint Knight Head will be him.”
Hearing this, the whole assembly became silent. As a Divine Knight, Long Tianying had an extremely high authority in the Knight Temple. And the Knight Temple’s military had been under his command for a long time. So seeing him get angry, no one dared call his choice into question. Moreover, Long Tianying just said that this bestowed title was based on his contribution. Of everyone present here, who hadn’t made a heroic contribution for the Knight Temple? They wanted to hear what kind of incredible contribution he did, to the extent of outstripping the whole older generation.
After sweeping his gaze to everyone present, Long Tianying continued, “A short time ago, Twelfth Golden Knight led his team in the depths of demon territory, and killed one of the demon gods, ranked seventy-second, Andromalius.”
Hearing this, he took a pause. In the meeting room, some knights already had looks of disapproval.
Killing a demon god was certainly a great contribution, but the Snake Demon God Andromalius was merely ranked last. Although this was a good contribution, saying that it surpasses all the high ranked knights would feel far-fetched.
Long Tianying continued, “Furthermore, he destroyed the demon god pillar in Andromalius’ possession. Which is to say that, in the future, there will never appear another Snake Demon God.”
Bam!
A big commotion followed.
Killing the Snake Demon God isn’t much, but destroying a demon god pillar is a completely different matter.
Since the start of the dark era, a whole six thousand years had passed, yet humans had never recorded the destruction of a demon god pillar. They absolutely didn’t expect this feat to have been accomplished by this Twelfth Golden Knight.
This was the first time a demon god pillar got destroyed, which carried an incomparable meaning. This meant that humans finally found a way to destroy demon god pillars, and sway the demons’ foundation. Let alone the ones present here, even in the whole Temple Alliance, this contribution was second to none.
