Chapter 26

“The Holy Knights are finished. Even the Inquisitor has been mobilized.”

“You are a member of the Holy See, but you are also the Prince of Lordaeron. At a time like this, I won’t allow you to go to the front line.”

The old king held Walter’s arm tightly, afraid that he would act like a child again.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be impulsive.”

“Are these nobles still not willing to send their troops?”

Walter smiled and patted the king’s arm.

However, after not seeing him for a night, the old king had clearly aged more than ten years.

His sideburns were obviously much grayer, and there were a few wrinkles on his forehead.

Everyone wanted to be a king, but how could it be so easy to be a king.

Not only did he have to guard against the invasion of the foreign races, but he also had to fight against the nobles.

In Walter’s memory, the old king had never had a day of peace of mind.

That was why Walter seemed a little absent-minded about inheriting the position of king.

However, it was different now.

The Abyss Invasion was a major matter that concerned all humans, and even the lives of the entire Material Plane.

Usually, Walter could ignore the nobles who were arguing with each other and retreating.

If Walter still dared to be petty at this time, he could not be blamed for being ruthless.

“Child, just leave this matter to me. I will persuade them.”

The old king was very happy to see Walter showing concern for him, which was rare.

“No, my method will be more effective.”

Walter took out his dragon flute and blew it. Then, he jumped up and rushed into the sky amidst the exclamations.

“Your Highness the Prince!”

The girls were not prepared at all. They could only catch a glimpse of his back and jump up and down excitedly under the city wall.

Countless girls waved their handkerchiefs at Walter’s back.

There were also people who tried to give Walter some buffs.

Unfortunately, the Golden Holy Dragon flew too fast, so they did not have time to do it.

In a luxurious noble’s manor.

The old noble was reading the battle report with a magnifying glass between his eyes.

As a noble in the kingdom, second only to the Kane family, this manor was even more prosperous than Houston city.

In this battle against the Abyss, the Kane family had used up at least half of their resources.

The old noble had only sent a team of Light-Armored Knights to help transport the provisions.

Although they had paid a lot of money, the armed forces in their hands were very tight.

After this battle was over and they worked well, it was not impossible for the Lordaeron Kingdom to change its master.

The old noble had even written a letter to the pope.

The relationship between the old king and the pope had always been bad. If he could get the pope’s support, the chances of success would be at least more than half.

Just as the old noble was tapping the beat in his hand and reviewing his plan, again and again, a dragon’s roar sounded.

Then, with a grunt, the old noble’s head fell to the ground.

Walter did not even get off his mount. He pulled the reins, and the Golden Holy Dragon soared into the sky.

Only a piece of paper was left in the pool of blood.

This was an order from the old king to mobilize the army. The old noble already had three letters in his arms.

In less than an hour, Walter had flown back to Houston.

There were bloody incidents in seven noble manors. Eleven of them had submitted.

Walter put the badges of eighteen nobles on the old king’s desk. These were already the largest noble families in the human territory.

The rest of the minor nobles did not have the strength even if they had some ideas.

After cleaning up these pests, Walter did not stop.

Ignoring the old king’s repeated dissuasion, he once again soared into the sky amidst a burst of exclamations.

This time, Walter headed north and did not turn back.

The North was the Forest of Elves.

There were Demonized Spiders everywhere on the human border.

“It’s His Highness, Walter. He’s gone to the front line!”

Some of the girls could see Walter’s movements and could not help but exclaim loudly.

Although they had been shouting that Walter was the savior, now that Walter had really gone to fight the abyss demons, the girls could not help but worry.

According to the information on the forum, the entire Holy Knight Corps had been completely annihilated.

Even the legendary knight, Silver Hand, had been sacrificed.

The Heavy-Armored Knight Corps had tens of thousands of people, but more than half of them were dead or injured.

It was said that the Light-Armored Knights and Attendant Knights were even more miserable.

So many people were unable to block those Demonized Spiders. No matter how strong Walter was, what could one person and one dragon do?

“It’s all our fault.”

“If we hadn’t kept shouting outside, His Highness might not have gone.”

“What if His Highness is really in danger?”

The girls could not help but worry. Some of them had already begun to wipe away their tears.

“It won’t happen. His Highness is very strong. Nothing will happen to him.”

“The Nine-Headed Dragon, Hydra, was so strong, but in the end, he still died at His Highness’ hands.”

“These spiders are no exception.”

“Tell me, did His Highness get injured after killing that thing?”

“If, if it’s true…”

The girl could not continue, her eyes were full of tears.

“It’s okay. If It’s true, we’ll go heal His Highness.”

“Weren’t we waiting for this day since we changed our Classes to Priests?”

“Sisters, is there anyone who wants to go to the front line with me to fight against the monsters?”

“Me!”

“And me!”

“Count me in!”

These girls had already gotten used to the game’s controls after leveling up during this period of time.

Moreover, the girls would form teams with each other for a while, and they were also used to each other’s cooperation.

Perhaps there were not as many flashy controls as when the male players played the game, so the damage and of each skill and their Health were calculated to the limit.

However, the female players also had something that the female players were good at.

That was the atmosphere.

The female players playing the game might be the original intention of the game.

That was happiness.

The male players might be able to win the game, and their skills and equipment would be far better than the female players.

However, they would lose their happiness.

They could level day and night and farm bosses, but they rarely stopped to enjoy the scenery in the game.

Girls did not care so much about equipment, but they also understood that they had to be united and help each other.

Especially when everyone stood together because of the same person.

This kind of common ground allowed them to recognize each other and support each other.

Although they could compare with each other, they would also have small conflicts.

Nonetheless, when it came to Walter, the heart of their hearts, the little girls were unprecedentedly united.

“Sisters, let us set off together to teach these Abyssal Demons a lesson.”

“Let them know that our world is not so easy to invade.”

“Let them know that as long as His Highness, Walter, is around, we will be invincible.”

“Invincible!”

The girls cheered, put on their heavy armor, raised their hammers high, and left the city with clanging sounds.

After walking for a long time without reaching the city gate, people realized their stupidity.

Thus, they took off their heavy armor, put on their casual clothes, and went out in light clothes.
