Chapter 279 The enemy is against us, which means we are doing the right thing
For most knights who have completed the Holy Grail Trial, being recognized by the God-Ancestor and obtaining the talent of [Bestowed Holy Grail] is already a success, but the promotion mechanism of the Holy Grail Pool actually has hidden rewards.

The talent obtained by a very small number of promoted people is not the [Bestowed Holy Grail], but another more powerful talent.

【Soul of Steel】

[It is said that Yonglan Knight God's experience before he ascended to godhood was that he went through hardships and was tempered into steel. Only those who understand the true way of knights can be blessed.]

[This body is made of steel, and its soul is like fire. The more it is frustrated, the braver it becomes. No matter how many hardships it encounters, it cannot take away its will.]

[Mental resistance is greatly improved, spell resistance is greatly improved, and the power of "Steel Will" is obtained, which can attach magic power to weapons or strengthen the body]

It is also a plain numerical talent, but the numerical value given can be said to be extremely amazing. It can almost be immune to damage except from swords and knives. Even the mage would cry when seeing it.

Not to mention the free conversion of attack performance and defense performance, it can be said that the super model panel of Yonglan Knight has been raised to a higher level.

It’s really worth counting!

In the original destiny of [Heaven Devouring Wave], Myvana did not drink the Holy Grail, so Westhead could not determine whether Myvana could obtain [Soul of Steel], but the facts proved that the talent of T0 strongman should not be underestimated.

"I have to do it for free now."

Originally, Westhead looked down on [Bestowed Holy Grail], thinking it was just a lower-level substitute in front of [Cursed Blood]. However, if it was [Soul of Steel], it would be completely different, as it was a very useful top T1 talent.

Having just finished his training and having a treasure girl to mine for, Westhead couldn't help but feel refreshed and immediately headed towards the Holy Grail Pool.

However, halfway through, he encountered a devastated battlefield.

The woodlands beside the avenue have been destroyed terribly. The broken earth and raised crystallized rock formations have created a deformed landform.

The broken bodies of the knights were scattered everywhere, and the most conspicuous was the colossus half-kneeling on the ground.

It was as if the shiny outer shell of a gigantic armored knight was covered with scorch marks of varying depths. The colossus's lance pierced its own chest, and the handle of the lance was inserted into the ground, just supporting its dull body.

"Wow, riding a colossus."

Westhead couldn't help but whistle. He really liked this handsome and powerful divine structure.

If he can mass-produce divine structures with comparable legendary combat power in the future, then many pressures can be solved. He will have one more reason to conquer Yonglan.

“It took some work to fix it, but it wasn’t difficult.”

A cold voice came from the sky. Thunderclouds came in an instant. Leixia walked out of them. Several knights' bodies were thrown out of the thunderclouds. She said calmly:
"I asked four times, but no one was willing to surrender, so I had to kill them all."

"Because they are all die-hard opponents. If they surrender because they are afraid of death, they will not be the Knights of Yonglan."

Westhead looked at the silver-haired princess and smiled, "Maybe it's because you haven't shown the strength of the knight's path. The Yonglan people are still a bit particular. They do admire the strong, will be convinced by strength, and follow the leader - but the prerequisite is that the other party must also be a knight, otherwise they will not be submissive at all."

This is also the reason why Westhead must give himself the title of knight. A strong man who does not follow the path of knighthood will not be able to conquer the Kingdom of Yonglan.

Lord Qinghui even told Leixia about the ecology of the Yonglan Knights:
"The Yonglan Knights are a very strange group. They are competitive and superstitious about violence."

"When a group of knight boys gather together, they will actively fight among themselves until a knight lord is decided, and the knight lord will lead his knights to go to war."

"In the past, the civil war in Yonglan Country continued. It was not until the emergence of the Knight's Way Expedition that the smoke of civil war dissipated a little. Only by defeating all the knight boys and deciding who is the stronger, more powerful, and more domineering knight can we integrate everyone and lead them to complete a great war."

"It sounds like some kind of wild animal."

Upon hearing this, Leixia tilted her head:

"I'm sorry, should I hold back and let you subdue them?"

"No need. Those who came here to ambush us are basically determined to oppose my claiming the throne. They should have been killed long ago without mercy."

Westhead shook his head and said:

"I want to subjugate as many Yonglan Knights as possible, but I don't want to spend time trying to persuade these hardliners."

"Let's go, let's go meet Myvana."

The two of them came to the foot of the mountain side by side. The storm surrounding the mountaintop had gradually subsided. A figure fell from the top of the mountain, stirring up wind, snow and dust in front of Leshia and Westhead.

"!!"

Westhead's eyes narrowed as he felt the cold and resolute force coming towards him, which seemed to freeze the air, like a thorn in his back.

"Myvana, you've only just been promoted to Legendary, and you're already so scary."

The man sighed with both joy and regret.

Needless to say, he was delighted that he had one more general under his command, and the more apostles who would flock to him to ascend to godhood, the better. But his regret was that Westhead realized that he might not be able to gain any advantage over Myvana again, and would have to sweat profusely again in another battlefield.

If I had known earlier, I should have ravaged her severely before. Now I am so unlucky.

The wolf-eared girl with purple-black hair covering her eyes clenched her fists and said:
"Well, I feel extremely relaxed now, and stronger than ever before." "It's just a matter of accumulation. With your accumulation, you could have been promoted to Legendary long ago. Now that the limiter is removed, you will naturally make rapid progress. Not to mention that in the past, there has never been an Orc Knight who has reached Legendary status."

There is also a gap between legends. Orcs are biological weapons with terrifyingly high racial values. Coupled with Yonglan Knight's panel, all the buffs are stacked by her. Even if Westhead has a few more T0 talents than Myvana, he can't say that he can compete with the latter in terms of numbers.

This growth rate is almost enough to make Westhead ashamed. I wonder who is the cheating one.

Mivana realized how powerful she was and clenched her fists, but she was concerned about something else.

Miss Knight raised her head and looked at Westhead:
"So am I qualified to be Weiss's blade?"

".Yes, of course, I am very qualified."

Westhead was so excited that he hugged Myvana and kissed her on her delicate face. The latter's animal ears immediately stood up, her body tensed, and then she moaned and hugged him back.

Of course, he did not forget to treat everyone equally and also gave Leshia a big hug and kiss.

It has to be said that under Westhead's manipulation, it is not difficult to have women on both sides. It is because the lovers love and admire him deeply that they can tolerate all the men's behaviors.

"Now that we have all achieved the legendary status, we can officially start the official pilgrimage. What we need to do next is very simple. We need to go one by one and find the local knight lords and knight orders."

"Then we will use our strength to subdue them and force them to acknowledge the legitimacy of the pilgrimage."

Mivana gripped the silver sword tightly and asked, "We will encounter a lot of resistance. Should we suppress them all?"

Leixia's eyes also narrowed. The two looked at Westhead. As long as the latter nodded slightly, they would immediately bring bloody storm to the Kingdom of Yonglan with thundering means.

Westhead waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, no, what do you think of me? We are here to rule, not to destroy. To be honest, the pilgrimage to claim the throne is essentially a political act. We want to make more friends and fewer enemies."

"I still need tens of thousands of Yonglan Knights to serve me, so that we don't have to confront each other so diametrically. Moreover, I want to complete the pilgrimage as quickly as possible. It is not enough for us to do it alone. We have to attract Yonglan people to join us."

Mivana tilted her head, still somewhat confused:
"So who are our friends and who are our enemies?"

"How do you tell friends from enemies? That's too easy."

Westhead smiled, raised a finger, and stated the criteria for judgment:
"Our friends will certainly support us."

"Our enemies will, of course, oppose us."

“Our friends support us, which means we are doing the right thing.”

"The enemy is against us, which means we are doing the right thing."

"."

After hearing Westhead's standards, Resia and Myvana were silent for a moment.

"Clap clap clap-"

Finally, Miwana clapped and said, "Then we were absolutely right."

The wolf-eared girl's expression was very serious. She was not agreeing with Westhead, but she really believed it.

Mivana was puzzled and asked, "I have realized the true spirit of chivalry. It should be said that any great knight should know it, but why do they still pursue the so-called virtue of suffering?"

Westhead: "Because it is indeed easy to use and appears to be quite convenient. Some great knights, with deep-rooted ideological imprints, have deceived themselves, such as those knight lords who are known for abusing the people, but they are a minority."

Westhead nodded and said, "More great knights are not our enemies. They just want to submit to the most powerful knight, so we will take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being."

Leixia chuckled: "So in the final analysis, everything in the Kingdom of Yonglan is still determined by strength."

"By the way, are those also trial participants?"

When Westhead was stroking his chin, he saw the knight climbing up not far away. As a sports student, he immediately calmed down, connected his broken legs and hands, and stood up tremblingly.

Mivana nodded: "Yes, they fell down during the trial, and I pushed them down."

When they came to Westhead and the others, they also knew who had saved them. They looked at Miwana with complicated expressions and said:

"Lord Beast Dusk, congratulations on your promotion to Grand Knight, and thank you for saving us."

Westhead stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of a knight, saying with a smile:
"Everyone, since you have survived thanks to Miwana's blessing, then the pilgrimage will start from your knight territory!"

"answer me--"

"Do you want to be our friends or our enemies?"

"Are you going to recognize me as your king, or refuse to submit?"
