Chapter 296 The Forging of Great Deeds

Well, well, you did it too, didn't you? You're not loyal to the God Ancestor, are you?

Westhead smiled in relief upon seeing this.

Although a long time has passed since the separation between gods and mortals, most people are still in a state of confused exploration, and the extraordinary people are clinging to their own paths. When the God is still around, there is a small chance that something will go wrong on the path. Now that he is gone, the way forward will be blocked and people will go astray!
It has to be said that the habits of the past thousands of years have restricted people's ability to think. The vast majority of extraordinary people in the Kingdom of Order have lost the creativity to explore other paths except the path of the gods.

It was not until the Year of Strife had stabilized that the extraordinary people realized that natural disasters were not to be feared, people's words were not to be cared about, and the ancestral laws could not be followed, and they began to absorb power outside of the Tao.

As expected, he is one of the powerful ones who will become the Transcendents in the future. He came to his senses so quickly and has begun to actively jump out of the comfort zone of the Path of the Gods. If he is the first person to prepare for the Age of Conflict, then Alexia and other veteran legends are the second batch of people who realized this.

If this continues, the first-mover advantage will soon be gone. But it doesn't matter, the Kingdom of Yonglan has been conquered, and the throne of the Knight King has been won by using absolute strength to defeat a country with a development gap. This is already the best possible scenario.

Westhead: "So you did it too. Yes, from the beginning, I didn't expect the existing path to point out a way. I won't follow the path of the gods, and the path of my own family is even more difficult to expect."

Even in front of outsiders, Westhead would complain about the poor performance of the Holy Spirit Ancestor.

"Pure Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirits of the Empire, of course, are led by the God Ancestor. But now that the God Ancestor is far away from us, the weaker Holy Spirits can protect one side. Blessings and disasters are closely related."

"Ha, you're right."

Alexia spoke meaningfully, and Westhead answered her meaningfully:
"That is why we, Qinghui Territory, have to shoulder greater responsibilities."

Although the commander of the [Immortal Wall] is a die-hard loyalist, she is an out-and-out outlier. Generally speaking, mortals regard ideology as more important than anything else, and the same belief is the most crucial common point.

In the eyes of others, Westhead's going to the Kingdom of Eternal Mist to become the Knight King was already a great act of disloyalty. If it weren't for the special circumstances of the Branch of Prosperity, Westhead would have been labeled a traitor long ago.

Since the Holy Spirit of Purity didn't say anything, it would be inappropriate for the believers of the Holy Tree of Glory to interfere.

And Alexia, compared to faith, cares more about the form of family and country. She is loyal to the God-ancestor, but more loyal to the empire!
But as long as Lord Qinghui remained within the framework of the Holy Tree Empire, she would think that Westhead was a man of loyalty to the country - in fact, her previous words had expressed her own thoughts, and it was hard not to support her.

The expeditionary force continued to advance, and the army of knights, composed entirely of extraordinary beings, moved at such a rapid speed that they even completed the journey across the province in just one day.

"Let's send them here. There is a large occupied area ahead. The nearby provinces have already completed the evacuation work because there are no troops stationed there. The Chaos corruption has not yet extended here. There is a fortress base left by the provincial garrison corps. You can use it to build a forward base."

Alexia followed all the way to the border of the defense zone before showing her intention to turn back.

However, after explaining the precautions, the handsome beauty with flaxen hair paused again and looked at Westhead:

"A few months ago, I felt that my strength had improved, and I had intended to spar with Lord Qinghui, but after thinking about it, I decided not to humiliate myself."

Westhead glanced at Alexia's bandaged arm and said with a smile:
"You are being a little modest. With your current strength, you can probably fight me for two hundred rounds. I'm sure it will be a very good exchange. I always like to learn from others and make up for my own shortcomings."

Alexia was slightly moved, but finally shook his head and refused:
"Forget it. I have official duties to attend to and cannot let you enjoy your stay. Please excuse me and take my leave now."

Haha, he actually hid in front of me.

Westhead lowered his eyelids slightly, thinking for a moment, as he watched Alexia and the Imperial Legion leave.

Mavis said at the right time behind him:

"My Lord, that Imperial man was able to fight you for hundreds of rounds?"

"Well, probably about the same as you. You are both considered the best among the legends, and you have a lot of room for improvement in the future. In the future, only a few people like you can be considered strong."

There is no shortage of talented people in the world, especially in times of conflict, geniuses are worthless and emerge in droves like mushrooms after rain.

However, there are very few strong ones who can surpass the regular legends, and those who have the possibility of ascending can be counted on one's fingers.

Generally speaking, such people are called T0, and those second only to T0 are people like Mephis and Alexia.

"My Lord, I can actually be called a strong person in your eyes? Thank you very much!"

The blue-haired girl was moved and took the initiative to step forward and hug Westhead's arm, but this action made Myvana unhappy, and she immediately came over and pulled her away.

"Hey! Stop hugging Weiss like that!"

It's strange to say, the wolf-eared girl obviously has no exclusive feeling towards Westhead, and in accordance with the customs of the orcs, she is also very happy to share her lover with others, but she has a lot of complaints about Mavis.

Perhaps it was because Mavis was totally unlike her sister, and even hated and despised Viona, and would drag her down from time to time. The animal-eared girl, who was very sensitive to other people's emotions, could naturally tell that Mavis was not kind.

Mavis immediately left with a smile, apologized, and said provocatively:

"Hehe, I'm so sorry. You are my lord's lover, and this position should belong to you. But please don't forget that as the king's attendant and his majesty's loyal dog, I will always be by my lord's side, and you may not be able to stop me all the time."

Mivana hugged Westhead's arm tightly, stared at the smiling Mavis, and said through gritted teeth:

"I miss Yurta now."

"Hmm? She is."

"Weiss's sister is with you around the clock just like you. You should behave yourself when Yulda comes back."

It must be said that after Mivana mentioned this, Westhead realized that Mavis, who followed him every day, was indeed the same as Yurda. They were both good loyal dogs. The difference was that Yurda was more of a loyal minister and would never kneel down and lick him blindly.

I don't know how she is doing as the head of Qinghui Territory now, but the fact that she didn't send me any news right away means that there is nothing going on.

"Oh, a close confidant of my Lord's family?"

Mavis nodded when he heard this, and said with a slender white finger on his chin:
"If you are also a colleague who is loyal to my Lord, then I think you will get along well with me."

The pretty Knight Qinxin gently stroked her chest with her other hand and said devoutly:

"Because there is no two suns in the sky, in my heart there is only one sun, Lord Westhead!"

Miwana curled her lips and said, "That's better." Westhead interrupted their conversation and said:
"It's been a long time since I went back. Let's get the expedition on track as soon as possible. Then we can establish a communication channel between Qinghui Territory and Mudeng Territory."

"Let's start by opening up this occupied area in front of us."

The two of them struggled along the way for a while, until the expeditionary forces gradually moved into the forward base.

After all the journey, the Yonglan Knights were already gearing up for a big fight. They completed all the preparations for the battle at an incredible speed. In fact, they just maintained their weapons and armor and brought supplies. As for other preparations? They were not necessary at all.

The old knight Ankhesius came to Westhead and knelt on one knee:

"Your Majesty, the Knights are ready and awaiting your orders."

"Ah."

Westhead nodded slightly, then ordered the griffin to fly to the high ground. Looking around, he could clearly see the expeditionary forces around him.

The Yonglan Knights who came all the way from the Heart of Storm, each of them was dressed in luxurious, exquisite, yet heroic and chic armor and cloak. Behind the hundreds of knights lined up inside and outside were various autonomous puppets and knight structures.

Under the gazes of everyone, the moment the Knight King raised one hand and clenched his fist tightly, all the noisy sounds around him seemed to be taken in.

"Knights! This is the beginning of the great expedition I promised you. Ahead of you is the endless expanse of the Empire's territory, mired in Chaos corruption and erosion. Countless enemies are waiting for you to eradicate them with your sharp blades!"

"So, don't worry, don't be confused, just use the sword in your hand to open up a path!"

"What we are practicing is absolute righteousness! What we are demonstrating is absolute dominance!"

"Warriors who believe in the [Eternal Storm Knight]! As a king who has carried out the will of the Knight, let me tell you the spirit of chivalry for this expedition!"

"Follow the path of the sun, step on the waves, go against the light, and conquer the storm!"

"This is the right path for a knight!"

"Not only the Empire, I also promise you that from now on, the chaos and corruption of other countries will also be purified by us, and the glory will be inexhaustible!"

"And I only ask of you one thing, and that is to praise my name."

As Westhead's speech came to an end, even the Storm Heart elites, who were considered to be calm and composed, could not help but become red-faced with excitement. Those holding long-handled weapons began to pound the ground, while more people drew their swords and pointed them toward the sky.

"My king! My king! My king!"

Westhead's violet eyes shone with majesty, and he roared: "Didn't you hear me? I told you to praise my name!"

"When you purify corruption, praise my name! When you slaughter powerful enemies, praise my name! When you save mortals, praise my name!"

"Then I will lead you to fight again and again, and win again and again."

After a moment of silence, thunderous cheers were heard, hitting Westhead's face in waves.

"Westhead! Westhead! Westhead!"

"Long live our king! Long live His Majesty!"

Amid the deafening sound, the Knight King calmly called upon his direct subordinates, those Steel Guardians who had opposed him before, who were now his vassals at his command.

"I won't be in command of the army all the time, so the expeditionary force needs to be divided into several fronts. Ankhsius, Levu, you lead a part of the expeditionary force forward to clear the road, while the others will be responsible for contacting the next few expeditionary forces that will arrive later."

"I have no right to interfere with the internal management of the Knight Lords, but the general strategic arrangements and marching plans must be arranged by me and then passed on by you."

"Start the expedition now. There is no need to ask for too many instructions. As long as you feel you can fight, don't stop. First, open a road to Qinghui Territory to test our strength."

The great knights of Storm Heart all agreed. Although they were not as loyal as Mephis, they were definitely firm fanatics and had a bottom line of being loyal to the orthodox Knight King.

"Yes, your majesty, I will obey your command. May the wind of steel be upon you."

After standing up, the Steel Guardians immediately divided themselves into teams according to Westhead's instructions, selected their men and horses, and set out in a mighty force.

Westhead was not worried about their battle results. After all, this was a battle between a legendary knight and a group of Yonglan elites. Unless they encountered force majeure like Myvana, they would be defeated by the corrupted holy tree of Fella.

Leixia came to the side of the Knight King and said calmly: "Weiss, are you not going to take action?"

Normally, Westhead would lead the charge in battle, but this time he had no intention of going to the front line.

"The only result of my attack is to reduce casualties and end the battle early. There is no point. The knights want an honorable battle. They are not the Bright People, so there is no need to consider reducing casualties."

"From now on, unless the opponent is strong enough, I won't be interested in taking action."

Westhead shook his head and said that if he took action now, his knights would only yell at his Majesty that he was stealing heads, which was inhumane.

And most importantly, he no longer needs this experience.

After being promoted to Legend, ordinary achievements could no longer help him gain promotion.

To advance to the realm above Legend, it is not just a simple stacking of numbers.

After breaking through the original legendary limitation, if you want to reach the realm of demigod, you need the bonus of the ritual.

What ceremony?
【Foundry Greatness】

[Great achievements] are more important than personal merits. They must be achievements that can cover a large scale and have a lasting impact on all living beings in the world.

This is also the reason why Westhead requires the Knights' Army to act under his name, the territories they have recovered, the achievements they have accomplished, and the mortals they have saved.

I have a part to play in all of this!
