Chapter 366: Adding One More Energy
Arthur looked into Aldrian’s eyes—eyes that did not seem to care whether his actions would endanger the people around him. However, Arthur knew it was not that Aldrian was indifferent to those around him, but rather that he was confident in himself. He was certain that the creature emerging from the formation can’t harm anyone nearby. That was the confidence of a cultivator whose strength could overwhelm everything in his path.
"Let’s go evacuate Buran Village," Arthur said.
"Captain."
A fellow knight, whose cultivation was equal to Arthur’s, wanted to voice his opinion, but Arthur signaled him to stop. He was the vice-captain of the Paladins, someone who had never been assigned the same mission as Arthur due to protocol.
Leaders and their deputies were not permitted to undertake the same mission. This was the only exception, because Aldrian had specifically chosen him.
"Young Master is not someone who would recklessly endanger others. He must have a plan in mind, and we can show our devotion by trusting him and obeying his orders."
The others, who had also wanted to persuade Aldrian, swallowed their words. They did not know the full extent of his strength, and their worries remained. However, their captain’s words stirred something within them.
They wanted to devote themselves to Aldrian in this mission as their true leader and the prophesied one chosen by the heavens.
Gritting their teeth, they remained silent before slightly bowing toward Aldrian.
"We obey, Your Eminence."
Aldrian smiled at them.
