The hatred between their races went beyond repairability. A great part of it is due to the difference in culture, customs and knowledge. Humans would never be able to use their own kins’ corpses as food, let alone making it their main source of food. And in fact, one could say that, in times of insufficient food sources, the demons’ motive for launching attacks wasn’t to attack the enemies, but to make food for their side.
In this war, a human victory was not only based on the damage to the demons’ forces, but also on the severance from their food supply. But of course, for this reason, the next demon attack was bound to follow in a short time.
The importance of a victorious battle was unquestionable. Having always been suppressed by the demons, they were only able to cling to their Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass for a year and a half. The arrival of a victorious battle was enough to fill every knight with excitement and acclamation, and restore their vigor. A vigorous soldier will always be much stronger than a soldier without vigor.
And the greatest contributor to this victorious battle, Long Haochen, was called by the Knight Temple after returning.
Standing perfectly straight in front of Yang Haohan and Long Tianying, Long Haochen’s expression was tranquil. Currently, he was not clad in his armor, and Han Yu was also beside him. However, in contrast to the calm Long Haochen, Han Yu appeared quite anxious, because the two Divine Knights didn’t look so pleased.
“Long Haochen, do you understand your status?” Long Tianying asked with a heavy tone.
Long Haochen replied immediately, “I am one of the Gold Essence Foundation Knights of the Knight Temple, ranked as Saint Knight.”
Long Tianying, “And what else?”
After a short time of surprise, Long Haochen replied, “I am also the captain of the 64th commander grade Demon Hunter Squad.”
“Stop mentioning your Demon Hunt Squad. In your current state, how could we be at ease letting you reform your squad? Have you already forgotten about our three agreements?” This time, even Yang Haohan was totally furious.
Long Haochen gave a puzzled look to these two elders bearing the title of Divine Knights, “Grandpa Yang, I don’t know what error I made!”
Yang Haohan broke out in anger, “You still don’t know? You are currently not only a Saint Knight, but also a soldier of the Temple Alliance. Do you think I made you look for a mount of your own to directly join the battle? I wish for you to stay low-key in the battlefield, yet as soon as you arrived, you immediately made yourself known to all the demons. Now how will you guarantee that you won’t be attacked on all sides, recognized by all demons? Equipment can be changed, but what about abilities? And moreover, your divine-tool-ranked shield didn’t come from us. It is part of your personal abilities. Using it in front of so many demons, aren’t you just giving out your own identity? Why are you taking the path I was the least hopeful to see?”
Without waiting for Long Haochen’s response, Long Tianying kept scolding him, “As a soldier, your duty is to obey orders. Even if you want to participate in the battle, after coming back, you should be reporting to me, and join the battle under my command. And what did you do instead? You risked yourself to directly join the battle, and even exposed your strength.
Do you know what this divine tool means? It means that we are giving them more pressure. And the greater the pressure is, the greater the counterattack will be. Have you ever heard of someone else showing his divine-tool-ranked weapon in the battlefield easily? Anyone would do his utmost to keep his divine tool hidden, only using such equipment in times of life or death, to strike a fatal blow at the enemy.
Long Haochen replied, “Temple Heads, I am sorry. I didn’t know that you would misunderstand like that. Would you mind listening to my explanation?”
Long Tianying seemed to want to keep reprimanding him, but was stopped by Yang Haohan, who nodded to him, “Alright, speak. I am giving you a chance to explain yourself. However, if your explanation doesn’t convince us, you are going back to seclusion, and won’t be allowed to join the Holy War again.”
Long Haochen’s expression changed drastically. This left him worried. If he isn’t allowed to join the war, doesn’t it make the reunion of his Demon Hunt Squad unimaginably distant?
