Chapter 266 I owe the old hero a lesson
Mivana's words were not simply an attempt to shirk responsibility; they had reached a consensus during their previous conversation.

No matter who it is, the position of Knight King must be taken. Only in this way can sufficient influence be exerted on the Kingdom of Yonglan.

Westhead is inclined to let Myvana take this position. After all, she is a genuine Eiran Knight, so she must be of good descent, right?

But in the current situation, I am afraid that the resistance for Mivana to ascend the throne will be greater than that for foreigners.

However, greater resistance doesn’t really matter, because in the final analysis, we still have to win by strength.

"Myvana, you are really..."

Westhead looked into Myvana's firm golden eyes and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Don't you understand? There is no need for any qualifications to become a king. Strength is the reason for being a king."

Lord Qinghui's preaching came to an abrupt halt because a long-lost prompt popped up in front of his retina.

[The web of love you weaved has paid off]

[You have shared the talent [Cursed Blood] of "Myvana Burning Frost"]

[Cursed Blood]

[The supreme chaos and the essence of the orcs are combined, and the conceptual power born from the distortion is a miracle that cannot be replicated.]

[Following their fighting bloodline and following their bloodthirsty instincts, only killing and fighting are the unavoidable curses of all living beings! For generations to come, there will never be an end! ]

[All attributes are greatly enhanced, gaining "Blood Rage", "Blood Thirst", "Blood Madness" and other characteristics. Attacks will cause irreversible bleeding, attacks will weaken enemies, attacks will cause recovery based on damage, and attacks will provide gains, resistance and hegemony for oneself.]

After being stunned for a moment, Westhead immediately stood in awe.

Good, good, good! She is indeed a true T0 combat talent. Compared to Reshia's two developmental T0s, Myvana's talent is born for battle.

Although the origin of this talent, [Cursed Blood], is the remnant of two Chaos Source Gods, but after a special evolution, its authority is no longer at the level of a Chaos Source God. Instead, it is the product of the ultimate evolution of Gu-breeding. Each T0 talent has unique characteristics.

The moment [Granted by the Heart and Soul] was shared, Westhead felt his hegemony increase! Increased! Increased wildly!
Hmm. Such intensity really makes him want to raise the flag.

Once again, Westhead, who had just obtained the [Cursed Blood] for free, looked into the wolf-eared girl's eyes with pleading and determination. He could no longer speak against her wishes, and quickly changed his words:
"But then again, everyone has their own talents and preferences. It's unwise to force responsibilities against one's nature. If you really don't like it, leave it to me."

Westhead held Myvana's shoulders and helped her up:
"You don't need to think so much. I will help you achieve your dream."

"Ok!"

Myvana agreed with all her might, nodded heavily, and raised her sword solemnly:

"My sword fights for you!"

"Weiss, although I don't want to pour cold water on you, don't forget the Chivalric Expeditionary Force."

Leixia reminded them, "No matter what we do next, we must first deal with the aggressive expeditionary army. The great knights of the Kingdom of Yonglan will basically be here. It might be a little tricky."

Although the area of ​​Yonglan Kingdom is the smallest among the order kingdoms, the number of legendary figures is very large. Even if the expeditionary force cannot summon all the great knights, there are still more than ten legends.

This number of legendary celestial beings, especially the Eternal Lan Knights, would terrify ordinary people upon hearing about them, and they would not have the heart to fight against them.

Even the white-haired dragon lady, who only had Westhead in her eyes and despised everything else, could not generate absolute confidence and indicated that she would think rationally about countermeasures.

"Expeditionary Force? Great Knight?"

However, Lord Qinghui did not show any anxiety or worry. Instead, he smiled calmly and said:
"If it was a minute ago, I would have considered it, but now I am just a nobody, what is there to be afraid of?"

"You two, please bear witness!"

In front of the Dusklight Territory River, after Westhead took Myvana away, the Qinghui Guards took over the defense and built fortifications together with the orcs from the Dusklight Territory, forcibly blocking the border. The vanguard of the expeditionary force still could not move forward.

However, they were not in a hurry to advance, because during this period, the expeditionary forces who heard that the vanguard was blocked quickened their pace, and the knight lords from all over Yonglan gathered together to participate in the event.

As batches of expeditionary forces arrived, the temporary camps had to be expanded. Many tents and simple camps were built on the snow-capped hills and plains. In fact, the expeditionary forces could have built a fortress on flat ground, but it would be a waste to use such a luxurious resource now.

Fortunately, most of the people participating in the expedition were Yonglan Knights and their followers, so the legion was not bloated, otherwise it would have been difficult to accommodate all the expeditionary forces.

"Xiao——"

The sharp cries of griffins resounded through the clear sky. A team of Yonglan knights riding majestic griffins swooped down from the clouds, slowed down suddenly above the open ground, and stopped with flapping wings.

Each of the well-bred griffins is as big as a two-story building and can be called a complete behemoth.

Just by folding the wings, a wave of air with a tearing feeling was stirred up.

The surrounding expeditionary forces were talking about this.

"Is this the griffin from Yingxi Castle?"

"Except for Yingxi Castle, there is no other place to breed such a large griffin."

"So, the great knight is here too."

"It's the Black Knight!"

I saw a figure jumping down from the griffin's back first, his legs stomping on the ground crisply. The dark and dull armor was out of place with the knights around him.

The Yonglan Knights have no special requirements for armor, unlike the Empire's war knights who each have a set of constructed battle armor.

According to tradition, knights only need to wear armor to show their identity. As for whether the armor is heavy or light, and what style and color it is, it depends on personal preference. Even wearing an arm armor is considered wearing armor.

However, most of the Yonglan Knights are wearing light armor made of mithril alloy, because this craftsmanship is a specialty of the Yonglan Kingdom, and it is even considered a rare top technology in the Yonglan Kingdom.

If you want to use it, you have to use domestic products! What kind of constructed armor, I can't get used to foreign things!

In such an atmosphere, the maverick knights are either newcomers or great knights who have formed their own unique style and aesthetics.

The Lord of Yingxi Castle, the [Black Knight] Uther undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

The heavy armor that seemed to be able to absorb light made the man's figure look tall and majestic. Above the ferocious lines of the armor, the enchanted circuits seemed to have life, emitting a faint scarlet light.

His graying temples and resolute face complement each other, and he is full of a majestic temperament.

The black swords were crossed at his waist, and his robe rustled in the cold wind. Uther looked around and then stepped forward.

Behind Uther, other Eternal Storm Knights jumped off the griffin team one after another. They were all apprentices of the Black Knight, following behind their teacher with a murderous aura.

"Lord Uther!"

"Lord Uther."

Although the reputation of this black knight in the Kingdom of Yonglan is very complicated, with both praise and criticism, he is still the champion of several knight competitions and is a well-deserved star figure.

The status of a great knight of the legendary rank is absolutely respected in the Kingdom of Yonglan.

Uther held his head high and responded to the greetings from the knights on both sides with a slight wave and a nasal voice.

Uther's purpose was very clear, and he went straight to the highest point of the fortress standing between the cliffs.

On the snow-covered highlands, nearly half of the expeditionary army's knight lords had arrived, and among them were several great knights sitting on honorable seats.

When the burly knight in black armor approached, everyone who was discussing heatedly stopped talking and looked at Uther.

"Lord Uther is here."

"Is there another Excellency?"

"We thought you couldn't make it. Isn't Yingxi Castle very far from here?"

"."

"I came here on a griffin, and brought only a group of students and followers."

Uther's deep voice sounded, and after waiting for a moment, he sat down on a newly added large stone chair before continuing to explain:
"As a Knight of Yonglan, how can I ignore the Knighthood Expedition? I will never miss a single battle!"

"A new battlefield will also bring new victories!"

The sunlight shone on the black knight's face, making him look as pious and determined as a pilgrim.

However, the people present did not seem to be moved at all, instead they looked sweaty.

Damn, don't be so positive!
Uther was indeed one of the most active people in participating in the expedition, but the results were far from satisfactory, especially in several small-scale expeditions, where he, as the only great knight responsible for commanding the entire army, could only fight and charge fiercely.

The Knights suffered heavy losses in those expeditions, and the casualties were horrific.

Anyway, no one will have confidence in Uther's command ability. Even if his students praise their teacher to the sky, they will only be accused of being a shock wave.

It was just out of respect for the prestigious knight that no one wanted to take the initiative to bring it up.

But not everyone wants to avoid offending the Black Knight.

"I'm sorry, Lord Uther, but I'm afraid I can't leave this chivalry expedition to you."

A rather young knight sitting opposite Uther spoke up, not shy about mocking her:
"Based on the great achievements you have made in the past, I'm afraid it's hard to convince the others. Moreover, there are many great knights in this expedition. Every generation has its own things to do. We should always give young people the opportunity to train and show their talents, like me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Uther lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the female knight with sky-blue hair. She was also sitting on a stone chair, proving her identity as a great knight.

The slender legs wrapped in white over-the-knee socks were crossed, with well-proportioned bones and flesh, and the silver-gray light armor only covered the joints and vital parts, and the exquisite gold-rimmed lining fit the perfect figure tightly.

Well. How should I put it? This is indeed a supernatural world. Gravity and human biology can both be insulted. Even though the young knight with sky-blue hair is covered in armor, he still shows his pleasing curves.

But at this moment, the female knight supported her cheek with one of her jade hands, and her delicate and beautiful face was filled with a proud smile.

Just looking at it makes people angry. The apprentice next to Uther blushed:
"Too deceiving!"

"How can Lord Uther be slandered so easily?!"

Instead, Uther raised his hand to stop the cursing apprentices.
"Mephis, is this your first time participating in an expedition? It would be better to listen to the advice of your seniors."

The Black Knight spoke slowly, speaking with the tone of an experienced person:
"Even though she has become a great knight, she is still inferior to your sister. And even for the Sword of Star Lake, her first expedition was not smooth."

"Bam—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mavis smashed the armrest of the stone chair with a punch, his pretty face was full of gloom, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't mention my sister anymore! Apart from the fact that we share the same bloodline, when have I ever received the slightest favor from her? How can a stranger who I have barely met a few times compare herself to me all the time?!"

"Sir Uther, please don't use this to irritate me!"

That's enough. What's wrong with you, [Sword of Star Lake]? Do you have to be so mean?
"Look, you're in a hurry."

Uther raised an eyebrow, not surprised at all by Mephis' outburst.

Young and energetic.

The Black Knight tapped the armrest with his fingertips and shook his head:

"Don't worry, I'm just stating the facts. I'm not trying to anger you. The reason why the expeditionary army is having a bad start can be traced back to the decision of the Sword of Star Lake."

"After all, the Dusk Lantern Territory is the territory she developed and inherited, but now it is blocking our way. This is really fate's trick."

For the old knights of the previous era, whenever the topic of [Sword of Star Lake] is mentioned, there will inevitably be sighs. Who could have thought that the genius who was originally destined to be the Knight King would ruin his own future like this?

Hearing this, Mephis crossed his arms and snorted coldly:
"Humph, isn't it because that guy was too naive and stupid? He actually wanted to educate the orcs, and even died in that filthy and remote place. It's all his own fault."

"But since she is a member of our family and shares the same blood with me, I have the obligation to clear her stain."

The sky-blue-haired female knight raised her lips slightly, revealing a cruel smile:

"For example, razing the Dusk Lantern Territory, purifying the area thoroughly, and taking back the silver sword."

Uther remained silent. What Mephis said was also what most knights were thinking. Any enemy who dared to block the chivalric expedition would be ravaged into pieces!
The Black Knight crossed his fingers and turned his gaze towards the owner of Jinquan Territory. He said, "Lyonette? So how did this conflict start? Why did the monster from Mudeng Territory suddenly get out of control?"

Seeing that the Great Knight's attention had finally been drawn to him, Lyonette could not wait to explain:

"Your Excellency! The orcs of Mudeng Territory are so sinister! While I was busy welcoming you all, a group of orcs actually sneaked into Jinquan Territory and instigated the serfs to resist. After that wolf cub found out that the plan was exposed, he started to kill all the children of Jinquan Territory!"

"But you don't have to worry. I have already completely eliminated all the serfs who have come into contact with the orcs. I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

Some people didn't know the whole story, and after listening to Lyonette's exaggerated story, they were immediately filled with indignation and shouted:

"Orc bastards, how dare they? And the serfs actually mixed up with the orcs, what a traitor!"

"This group of unruly people really deserve a lesson from the old hero!"

“Not knowing what loyalty is is a disease, and it can be cured by drawing more pictures.”

"."

Uther looked into the distance. At the boundary river of the Dusklight Territory, the defense line built by the Qinghui Guards was as solid as a rock. He asked:
"What's with that thing? It doesn't look like an orc creation."

"This is another piece of evidence of the orc scum's crime."

Lyonette snorted coldly:
"They actually brought people from the Holy Tree Empire as reinforcements!"
