Chapter 200: Chapter 207: Legend of the Holy Knight


    In the course of people’s fight against the demons, many heroes had been born, both in the past and now.


    Holy Knight Wilton was such a hero!


    Wilton, who was not yet fifty years old, looked quite ordinary; his appearance was nothing special, and his build was average. Without his Void Magic Armor, he looked just like a normal person. Yet, this seemingly ordinary man was a legendary figure!


    Stories of Wilton’s deeds had been circulating in the skies for many years. It was said that he was born a commoner but was a natural Void Magic Warrior, receiving his first set of armor at the age of fifteen. From then on, he began to make a name for himself and gained fame in the Second Counterattack War.


    In the Second Counterattack War, the number of normal demons Wilton killed was countless. He single-handedly slew thirteen high-level demons during the war, becoming the Void Magic Warrior who killed the most high-level demons in the entire war, thus becoming the undisputed hero of the Second Counterattack War.


    Becoming a war hero did not stop Wilton from writing his own legend. His deeds were numerous, and the most talked-about one was when he led his Void Magic Squad to help an entire village’s people relocate.


    ...


    This relocation took half a month, all on land, with a distance of over a hundred kilometers. There was no cover from Sky City, no support from warships, only Wilton and his Void Magic Squad. During the entire half month, they protected the villagers while killing the demons that attacked along the way. They killed over a thousand demons, eventually escorting the villagers safely to Gesya City, without a single casualty.


    This event earned Wilton the name of Holy Knight, celebrated worldwide.


    Such a renowned figure was naturally known to Rocky and Karina for a simple reason: Wilton’s exploits had been written into books. Even those who had never met him would certainly have read about his deeds.


    So, when everyone learned that the severely injured Void Magic Warrior before them was Holy Knight Wilton, they were all stunned!


    For a moment, everyone found themselves at a loss, unsure of how to handle encountering Wilton.


    “Everyone, I hope you can take me to the Sky Alliance immediately.”


    Just as Rocky and the others were unsure of what to do, Wilton opened his mouth directly.


    “Tulip City has been overrun, this news must be reported to the Sky Alliance as soon as possible, so I hope you can quickly take me to the area where the Alliance is located. I will reward you heavily then!”


    “This…”


    Hearing Wilton’s words, Rocky and Karina exchanged glances. Could it be that the Tulip City, standing firm for a hundred years, really had been overrun?


    If these words had come from someone else, Rocky and the others would certainly be skeptical, perhaps even disbelieving. But if they came from the mouth of Holy Knight Wilton, it was something entirely different.


    So afterward, they all simultaneously looked in the same direction — Orton.


    Wilton and Orton were both significant figures, and the two were obviously acquainted, so it was easier for Orton to speak.


    Orton stepped forward, coming before Wilton: “Wilton, no need to worry. We’re currently returning to Sky City. Even if we want to send you to the Sky Alliance, we must first get back to Sky City.”


    “I see. Then I must trouble everyone,” Wilton said, calming down after hearing Orton’s explanation.


    But then Orton continued to ask, “Wilton, the Sky City destroyed by the Magic Dragon just now, is that the city you were in?”


    “Yes…”


    Talking about the recently destroyed Sky City, Wilton’s demeanor instantly turned desolate, clearly touching upon a painful matter.


    “You have time now; tell us what happened in detail.”


    Taking a seat, Aodu both spoke and sat across from him, evidently interested in what had just happened and what he had mentioned.


    Upon hearing this, Wilton looked at Orton, then glanced at Rocky and the others, and went on to recount the events.


    The three cities on land and The Three Great Alliances in the sky were closely linked, each of The Three Great Alliances directly associated with one city. It was the Sky Alliance that supported Tulip City.


    Three days ago, the continuous connection between Tulip City and the Sky Alliance suddenly broke off, which gave the Sky Alliance a sense of foreboding. They immediately dispatched Wilton’s Sky City, the one that was just destroyed, to investigate Tulip City’s situation and conduct an inquiry.


    When Wilton arrived at Cliff Canyon, he discovered that Tulip City, which had only lost contact for three days, had already been overrun by demons!


    This result was far beyond his expectations, but before he could figure out what was going on, a massive number of Magic Dragons suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on Sky City.


    To avoid the onslaught, the Sky City where Wilton was located immediately withdrew from the vicinity of Tulip City, hoping to shake off the attack, but it was in vain. Dozens of Magic Dragons relentlessly pursued Sky City, chasing it for a full day and night, eventually forcing Sky City to engage in battle.


    During the clash, Wilton displayed unparalleled strength, killing three Magic Dragons on his own! Unfortunately, there were too many Magic Dragons. He might still rely on his own strength to contend with the Magic Dragons, but the other Void Magic Warriors and the fleet were completely unable to fight against the Magic Dragons.


    There was no need to recount the rest, as Rocky and the others had witnessed it firsthand. Sky City was destroyed, the fleet and Void Magic Warriors were all lost, and only Wilton managed to barely escape to the Thunderhawk.


    In just a few words, Wilton explained the whole incident to everyone. The story was simple, without any ups and downs, yet it left every listener profoundly shocked!


    The iron-strong Tulip City, occupying a strategic position, was senselessly overrun just like that?


    How could this be!


    Everyone present understood what the fall of Tulip City implied. It not only meant one less city on land but, more severely, that Tulip City, having stood unbroken on land for a hundred years, was inexplicably overrun in just a few short days. This undoubtedly signaled an unthinkable movement by the demons!


    Such a movement could possibly affect everyone!


    No wonder Wilton was so eager to pass this news back to the Sky Alliance; the matter was indeed enormous!


    “Wilton, you should rest well first. Once we return to Sky City, we’ll promptly help you contact the Sky Alliance.”


    After Wilton finished explaining everything, Orton said these words to him, then signaled to Rocky with a look, leading everyone to leave the cabin along with him.


    “Teacher…”


    Leaving the cabin and returning to the deck, both Rocky and Karina looked towards Orton. They knew Orton had something to say to them.


    “What do you two think should be done about this matter?” Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Although Orton appeared quirky at ordinary times, he was decisive in critical moments, not taking over for Rocky and Karina’s decisions. Instead, he sought their opinions.


    “Of course, we must escort Wilton to the Sky Alliance. The fall of Tulip City is too serious; we cannot ignore it or delay it!”


    To this question, Rocky immediately gave his answer, naturally choosing to help Wilton.


    But what he did not expect was that after he spoke, Karina chimed in from the side: “Sorry, I won’t be participating in this matter.”
