Chapter 954 - 478 The Battle that Started Strong but Ended Weakly_2
Long Dangdang took Ling Menglu’s hand, and with a flash of silver light, they disappeared from the air in the next instant. Flying was not as fast as instant transfer; with just one flash, they had already silently appeared among the Luminous Knights Order. At the same time, under the cover of the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace, they concealed their presence.
Ling Menglu glanced at Long Dangdang beside her and felt the soft undulations of the Slow Delay Domain surrounding them. She couldn’t help but lean towards him. On the battlefield, Long Dangdang had not acted recklessly and also didn’t show off excessively. After putting in effort and killing two powerful wraiths, he promptly made a swift retreat. And don’t forget, from beginning to end, he hadn’t let Ling Menglu unleash the true might of the godly vessel, the Archangel’s Scepter, to summon the six-winged seraph. She couldn’t help but recall Long Dangdang’s nickname, "Never Reveal All." He really did hold back. But this indeed gave her a sense of security. On such a level of battlefield, facing those truly powerful opponents, they, with actual 8th Rank strength, could very likely turn into cannon fodder with just one encounter.
Long Dangdang was not so conceited as to become blindly inflated just because he was the champion of the Great Impartation Contest, or even after triggering the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex within the Knights Temple. On the battlefield, enemies did not care about how many honors one had. In reality, he was just an 8th Rank Adamantine Cathedra knight, only a little more resourceful than the average Adamantine Cathedra knight. Without reaching 9th Rank, one simply did not qualify to appear on the high-level main battlefield. This was the position Long Dangdang had set for himself. Only when Little Evil advanced to 9th Rank first would his sense of security somewhat increase.
Indeed, as the number of human powerhouses in the air began to increase, the offensive from the Wraith Kingdom started to ease down, and the mage brigade and priest corps from the rear had already arrived one after another. When the priest corps began to fully purify the undead aura on the battlefield, the Wraith Kingdom finally began to retreat.
What looked like a full assault, in the end, did not fully erupt, and the two sides on the battlefield quickly separated, with the wraith legion retreating even faster than their approach.
Supreme Commander Xi Che did not order a pursuit but instead stabilized the troops, commanding the various armies to disperse and continue with the planned arrangements, as the construction of the light source array began again.
As the leader of the Luminous Knights Order, Long Dangdang received an order to attend a discussion at the temporary commander’s tent.
When he arrived at the commander’s tent, there were already hundreds of officers from the 6 Great Sacred Temples gathered inside. On both sides of the tent, rows of seats were arranged.
Just as Long Dangdang was about to find a place to stand at the back, he was led by Xi Che’s personal guard to the side of the commander’s seat. The commander’s seat was a wide chair, and next to it was a relatively ordinary stool, where the personal guard signalled for him to sit.
