Chapter 219 - Arrival Of A Legendary Guardian (1/2)

After the great battle, of the million-strong dark army, the surviving one third fled in all directions to the grass plain, Blackleaf forest, and within Black Lava Dukedom.

The warriors, having fought for seven days and seven nights straight, did not have the energy to pursue them. They were so exhausted that they could sleep on the piles of corpses…

Many of the warriors had been hanging onto their last breath to endure through the battles.

Only when the danger was over, the warriors were able to relax…

They could finally rest.

In the final battle, it was a fortunate outcome that the Advanced devils were defeated. Otherwise, the allied forces would be destroyed.

When the dark creatures lost their devil commanders, they became like dispersed sand.

William and Lancelot stood at a far corner as they watched the Devil’s Dens collapsing. The booming sounds reverberated in the air.

The two of them had mixed feelings. The war would be considered over when all the Devil’s Dens would be destroyed.

The collapse of the Devil’s Dens happened due to the Temple Knights destroying the teleportation portals in the dens.

Lancelot knew that his early intervention would cause some trouble for himself. Hence, he wanted to command the Temple Knights to kill the dark creatures before the Temple of Light messenger arrived.

Previously, William had placed the magic transmission scroll in his space ring…

Only God knew how many messages he would receive when he took out the magic scroll.

Perhaps, there might even be a video of someone scolding him.

“Are you leaving?” William looked at his old friend.

Lancelot sighed and said, “Yes. I’m leaving. The messenger is arriving very soon.

“Even though it’s the mission of the Temple Knights to destroy the dark creatures,

“I reneged on the will of the Temple of Light and preemptively intervened in the war. I even caused the death of 431 Temple Knights. Although the result of the war is positive… the leaders of the Temple of Light may not let the matter rest.

“Many of the senior Temple Knights will not support me anymore.”

There was no choice.

All the members of the Sword Sage Temple Knights were second-generation Temple Knights.

Many parents of the members were leaders of the Temple of Light. Lancelot would have to face the consequences of these casualties. Those senior Temple Knights would not let Lancelot off for killing their children.

Lancelot did not say much. He was here to show his gratitude instead of grumbling.

Since he could lead the Sword Sage Temple Knights, he would have his ways and means to deal with the crisis.

Lancelot did not know what contract the powerful leaders of the large continent had with the Dark World. He was only a legion commander and not a core leader of the Temple of Light.

But he was sure the Temple of Light had a hand in it.

The reasoning was simple as the large-scale Darkness invasion could not go undetected by the Temple of Light. Everyone knew that there were Human traitors…

Since the Temple of Light knew about the invasion, and they wanted to delay the intervention for a month, it indicated an agreement had been reached between the temple and the Dark World.

William knew what Lancelot was thinking. He heartily laughed and said, “The decision of the leaders is beyond our control. In our dire situation, we have no choice but to call for help.”

In the next moment, a ray of white light appeared in the faraway sky as the air exploded behind a figure. The speed was very fast, but it was not his fastest speed.

The series of explosions filled everyone’s ears. There was immense pressure, and it made everybody breathless. They felt like collapsing to the ground.

But after all, they had fought the battle for seven days. They were not weaklings.

The pressure was not able to make them yield!

The white light did not stop. It descended from the sky and landed heavily in front of William and Lancelot.

Pom! It was as though a huge meteor rock had landed on the Earth’s surface.

Shockwaves could be felt emanating out of the ground as it was quaking.

The figure sighed, and the shockwaves vanished while the dust settled.

Lancelot immediately went down on one knee and solemnly said, “Paying my respect to Southern Temple Emissary.”

“Paying our respects to the Southern Temple Emissary.” The other Temple Knights went down on one knee and looked at the emissary with reverence.

The middle-aged emissary surveyed the battlefield and the warriors who were filled with anger. He felt it was awkward for him to exhibit his dominance.

William noticed the emissary and frowned. He did not expect such a powerful BOSS to appear, and he did not dare to be reckless. He happily said, “The City of Dawn, let’s pay our respect to the Southern Guardian.”

William’s voice was heard within a radius of a hundred miles. His happy tone did not sound fake at all.

All the warriors and races immediately stood up and lowered their heads before kneeling on the ground. They reverently looked at the man and shouted, “Paying our respect to the Southern Guardian.”

“Paying our respect to the Southern Guardian.”

“Paying our respect to the Southern Guardian.”

“All of you… please stand up!” The man who was clothed in black raised his brow. He mumbled to himself, “Southern Guardian?”

The emissary thought, “Who is this Elf? Why is he fawning on me?”

The southern region was a huge place. How could the emissary be a guardian of such a large area?

The emissary was actually the Southern Temple commander.

However, he decided to accept the complimentary title.

Southern Guardian sounded nicer.

The emissary was very pleased.

The Legendary middle-aged man lightly coughed and said, “There is no need to destroy all the Devil’s Dens. Leave some for the soldiers to train. All the Temple Knights… are to disperse.

This Darkness invasion…

You have fought well. Very well indeed.”

“Roar!!”

“It’s marvelous!”

“I knew it… I knew that we would achieve victory. They wouldn’t allow us to go to our deaths.”

“Southern Guardian? I haven’t heard of this name before. But his dominant aura is rather powerful.”

“I thought he was a bad guy. So he is the good guy.”

The professionals who were on the grass plain lifted their heads and started their discussions.

The players were in a daze. Gosh, that was a Legendary BOSS.

It was a Legendary Temple Knight.

Lancelot noticed that the emissary was embarrassed. When Lancelot was about to speak, William immediately walked up to the emissary and cried, “Southern Guardian, the most powerful and brave guardian of all.

“You.. have finally come to rescue us.

“The Darkness invasion only ended with your appearance. We had achieved victory. You’re the hero for defeating the Darkness invasion.”

The lips of the Southern Temple Emissary continued to quiver…

What the heck?

The emissary had not made his moves, and yet he had become the hero?

That was a responsibility that the emissary did not want to bear…

But William walked forward a few steps and knelt before the emissary. He hugged and shook the emissary’s thigh as he cried, “Lord Emissary, since the start of the Darkness invasion, the City of Dawn had sustained countless casualties. Many wounded soldiers continued fighting. Even when they were crippled, they still fought valiantly.

“It was very hard for all of us.

“Take a look. The warriors were so exhausted that they slept on the corpses.

“Take a look. The warrior did not even release the grasp of their weapons when they perished.

“Take a look… They are your believers. They are the citizens of your guardianship.”

“What the heck?

“Did I have so many believers?

“Why didn’t I know that?
