Chapter 44: (1/2)

”Radiant Knight, please protect your followers,” said Captain Randy, who was holding the pendant in both hands.

This time, the decision is no better than in the past. It is a real ”acting against orders”. Randy has already prepared for the worst. What makes him uneasy is the teammates behind him who insist on following his own.

Chapter 10~

Brilliant Knights, stationed in the Border City branch.

Sapphire, dressed in a knight's robe with a golden rim wreath, sat on the silk bench, tapping his fingers on the tabletop regularly, his eyes drooping slightly.

The graceful and luxurious, warm and comfortable minister's office did not bring him a sense of security, and there were a few uneasy ripples in his heart.

”True, true, true...” Lan Yu opened her eyes as a faint and orderly knock on the door came.

”Come in.”

”Crack.” Accompanied by the sound of the doorknob turning, a knight wearing spiked plate armor stepped into the room, carefully closed the door, and bowed to Sapphire.

”Gem, are you here to report the situation?” Lan Yu asked after confirming that the door was closed tightly.

”No, it's just that I want some advice from an adult for some personal matters.” Gem said respectfully, and the robe behind him was decorated with a golden wreath, which was the symbol of the golden class knight.

The two belonged to the golden knight class. In terms of status, the sapphire who belonged to the civil service was higher than Gem. This is really rare in the glorious knight order that is more important than military.

”Oh? What's a private matter? Listen carefully.” Not only was Sapphire not annoyed, but a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth as he listened to Gemm's gossip about finding fault.

Hearing this, Gemm took a few steps forward, leaned forward to the desk and bent down.

”My lord, very lucky, the troll soldiers have not broken through the city gates so far.”

”...Oh? It's really strange, is it because the trolls have become weaker? Or is the director underestimating the group of dead soldiers?” Lan Yu raised his eyebrows, and the seemingly random words were faintly unpleasant.

”Neither, my lord... the night knight is dispatched.”

”Bang!” Lan Yu vented his anger, and the mahogany desk made a muffled noise with a punch.

”How can those hateful heretics appear here?? It always broke the good deeds of the director...” Lan Yu suppressed his anger and rubbed his sore temples.

”My lord, what should I do now? Is the plan going on?” Gorm asked.

”Come on? Come on, how can I proceed when I've reached this point? I've long been agitated by those heretics!” Sapphire's face was gloomy and could drip water.

”There is still such a mess. If this **** is not cleaned properly, we will both be finished!”

”Then my lord, what should I do next?”

”...Okay, they are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous, Gum, your chance to be promoted to the Templars is here, it depends on whether you can catch it.” Lan Yu stood up and said to Gum cautiously .

”Of course! I am willing to go through fire and water for your Excellency!” Gem was overjoyed in his heart, and said respectfully, knelt down on one knee.

”Yeah.” Lan Yu nodded in satisfaction.

”Now, the enemy is currently, due to the depravity of the vanguard knights on the front line, the warplane is delayed, causing the minister to receive the message late. Now, in the name of the sub-director of the glorious knights, I order you to lead the knights to the rescue front. Kill all demon species and heretics, pay attention, everything.”

Lan Yu was heavily biting on the word ‘everything’.

”Really!” Gem saluted respectfully, returned a ‘I know’ look at Sapphire, and walked out of the room.

”Crack...”
