Hate Me, Miss Witch!

[The important figure "King of Knights"'s favorability towards you increases by 5 points]

[The current favorability level is: 50 (trust)]

It can be regarded as a brush.

Looking at the information that appeared in his mind, Xia Ya couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Over the past six months, he has become a master of time management.

While serving as a Templar Knight in the Holy See of Dawn, he went out on duty from time to time. By the way, he also raised the favorability of the legendary cardinal to 50+.

On the one hand, as the founder of the Akatsuki organization, he traveled around Esgania and spread the will of the Dawn.

On the other hand, he transforms into a black knight and fights in the north and south.

Even Gin and the others were forced to move around as members of the Akatsuki organization.

Fortunately, the results were pretty good.

Xia Ya's eyes stayed on the few lines of text that appeared on the light screen in his mind.

[Historical Legend——The Light of Dawn]

[Rarity: Purple (can be upgraded)]

[Owned by: Char Egut]

[Place of Belonging: Esgania]

[The "dawn" you created has become the dawn that illuminates this chaotic world, and the fate of countless victims has been changed because of you.

And the will of dawn is sung by all the people in this land because of your existence. 】

…

【Black Knight Cain】

[Rarity: Purple (can be upgraded)]

[Title owner: Char Egut]

[Place of Belonging: Esgania]

[You are the incarnation of darkness, the strongest knight soaked in blood, and in the eyes of outsiders, you are like a madman, a ghost and god who is not afraid of death. 】

[You have experienced hundreds of battles without being defeated, and you have endured through countless calamities without being destroyed..."No one can hurt that black knight." These words have turned into a curse and become a nightmare in the hearts of countless enemy generals, which makes people see When I saw that figure with black hair and black eyes, I felt fearful. 】

[Title attribute: When you appear as the Black Knight Cain, all enemies who have heard the name of the Black Knight will be afraid of you]

…

The two legends and titles of "Light of Dawn" and "Black Knight" are the greatest recognition of Char's efforts over the past year.

"However, it's not enough..."

Xia Ya looked at the two purple legends and titles in his mind and shook his head slightly.

In his previous life, there was a saying that the higher you stand, the harder you fall.

Onlookers are often like this, unscrupulously flattering and creating gods, and putting a good and flawed person on the altar.

On the other hand, when the opponent has a flaw, he does not hesitate to use the most vicious and harsh words to abuse and attack, hoping to watch the lofty saint fall into the mortal world, so as to satisfy his habit of pointing.

From heaven to hell, just in an instant...

In the eyes of others, this is a huge disaster and blow, and many people with poor psychological endurance may even commit suicide because of this huge gap.

But for Xia, who was in the reverberations of history, he wished for this.

It's good to fall into the mortal world, it's good to point out.

Please everyone step on me when the time comes.

If you don't ruthlessly create gods and then destroy them, how can I get that negative legend?

As for eternal infamy and eternal infamy...

I have confirmed it over and over again. If this King of Knights has not lived for a thousand years, can he still come to seek revenge on me?

And even if we do find him...

You are scolding Cain, what does it have to do with me, Char Egut?

For this eternal infamy and the final mission reward, Xia Ya has good intentions.

During this period, the first thing he did when he got up every morning was to use "Tsukuyomi" to hypnotize himself in front of the mirror, so that he really acted like a perfect saint.

Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirit, honesty, justice.

It directly combines the eight virtues of knights into one body.

Just to wait until the reversal occurs, my reputation can fall a little harder, and then a little harder.

"It turns out that in those days before, he was just pretending!"

"In order to make us be careless, they actually pretended to be so good. It's really hateful!"

"It's a shame that I still regarded the Black Knight as my idol. Now it seems that I really misjudged him."

"I didn't expect Cain to be that kind of person!"

Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

"However, the time is not yet ripe."

"The entire territory of Esgania has not yet been unified, and my reputation has not yet reached its highest peak."

"The harvest will be harvested only when the empire is truly established and the prestige of the Akatsuki organization and the Black Knights as ministers of the dragon is truly at its peak."

Xia Ya, be patient!

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with being an upright knight and expanding the territory... But being a villain means I can broaden my horizons even more."

…

"Your Majesty Artorius, Your Majesty Cain."

There was a sound coming from afar.

An armored knight walked not far from the two of them and knelt on one knee.

"Information came from the Holy See of Dawn."

"The wandering abyss monsters that have been lingering around our defense line and constantly harassing the border villages have, for some unknown reason, disappeared in recent days and have stopped coming."

"Moreover, even the army of the humble King Vortigern stationed on the other side of the wilderness has shown signs of retreating on its own initiative."

The knight's words were respectful.

He looked through the knight's helmet at the two people standing side by side on the city wall.

Of course, it goes without saying that he is the King of Knights, and Cain's reputation is actually built on countless military exploits.

Moreover, it is precisely because of Cain's relationship that even the Holy See of Dawn has a friendly attitude towards this emerging coalition, and they often exchange materials and information, and exchange information.

After all, they are all members of the order camp, and they are all at a disadvantage in Esgania, so they will naturally help each other.

Unfortunately, Cain's crown seems to be male.

Thinking of this, the knight who sent the message couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.

If not...

Then His Majesty Cain is simply the best candidate for the princess.

…

"Cain."

"What do you think of the information just now?"

When the knight who came to send the message retreated, Isadella spoke softly.

She had to admit that in this time and space, her dependence on the Akatsuki organization and Cain was already quite high.

Many decisions cannot avoid the opinions of the other party.

"It's not normal."

Xia Ya looked at the desolate wilderness and narrowed his eyes.

"Those abyssal creatures are all bloodthirsty ferocious beasts. There is no way they will flee before they are actually touched."

"Some information has also come from Xiao's side... King Vortigern's army in the capital has also shown signs of being mobilized."

"I think……"

Xia Ya's words paused slightly.

"It should be our coalition that finally attracted the attention of that humble king."

"I'm afraid something big is coming - an encirclement and suppression against us."

"Just as I guessed."

Isadella closed her eyes, nodded, and agreed with Char's judgment.

In the past six months, a large part of the reason why the coalition of knights and princes has been able to develop so smoothly is because of the obstruction of intelligence.

In such a chaotic situation, the flow of information is extremely slow.

Before the humble king in the capital could react...their army spread like sparks.

But today, along with the King of Knights, Akatsuki's name is getting bigger and bigger.

Even ordinary civilians have heard about the Akatsuki organization and even become its followers.

Then it is naturally unrealistic to think about growing in silence.

Different from the Holy See of Dawn who is stuck in one place... As a new force, the coalition has won the support of countless people and princes and knights, and it is truly possible to shake the dominance of King Vortigern.

Just think about it from another perspective. If such a rapidly growing rebel army appears in your own territory... then it is almost inevitable to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against it at all costs.

In fact, Isadella knew it very well.

The alliance between himself and the princes seems to be strong now, but in fact there are also great hidden dangers.

The biggest flaw is that they have been too smooth along the way.

This is a double-edged sword, with consecutive battles and victories, morale and cohesion are pulled to the highest peak, and every knight and soldier can exert combat power beyond the normal level.

But after all, this group of people is just a group of nobles. The coalition formed by the knights spontaneously. To put it bluntly, in the past, they were just a group of stragglers. In just one year, they were far from being able to be integrated and trained into a well-disciplined elite. force……

Nowadays, it is certainly possible to fight with a favorable wind, but once the wind goes against them, morale will probably collapse and the army will be defeated.

Another hidden danger is the lack of top players.

After all, this is a world where extraordinary power belongs to oneself. As the saying goes, soldiers fight against soldiers, generals against generals, and kings against kings.

But her body was still too young after all, and the power sealed by the holy sword had only just reached the peak of the sixth ring.

Although I have now regained the Holy Sword, it should be comparable to ordinary legends...

However, above the title level, our side is at a huge disadvantage.

Abyss creatures are certainly bloodthirsty, ferocious, and prone to losing control.

But when it comes to combat power, it should not be underestimated... Every lord-level creature in the abyss is equivalent to a title-level existence on the Western Continent.

Relying on the few title-level knights in the coalition forces, they simply cannot compete with them in terms of numbers.

And once an abyss lord cannot be restrained and breaks into ordinary soldiers or even civilians, it will be equivalent to a huge disaster.

"Abandon the existing territory and let our soldiers and people divide into multiple directions to break out."

Isadella gently closed her red eyes.

When she opened it again, she had already made a decision.

Isadella knew exactly what she meant by the order.

Breaking through into multiple forces means that the loss rate will be frighteningly high.

In the end, it may be less than 60% that we can break through the encirclement and suppression net and truly escape.

However, this is indeed her only choice now.

Now their military strength is at a huge disadvantage. If they don't spread out, it will be equivalent to sitting back and waiting for death.

The only outcome that greets the coalition forces is total annihilation.

What they need most right now is time.

As long as she successfully breaks through and gives her another three years, both Isadella's own strength and the strength of the coalition forces will undergo earth-shaking changes.

However--

next moment.

"Such a breakout at any cost will inevitably cause heavy damage..."

"Even if it succeeds in the end, you are the one who made such a decision."

"You will also be burdened with rumors of cruelty and cruelty. In order to save your own life, you will not hesitate to let subordinates and civilians die..."

Still vague words came out from Cain's swirling mask.

This made Isadella stunned.

In this nearly year of getting along, Cain and the Akatsuki organization behind him rarely questioned her judgment, but only silently supported her.

This was the first time that he opposed her order so bluntly.

But Isadella's will will naturally not be shaken so easily.

"As a king, you must naturally have the awareness to bear the infamy."

"No one in this world is perfect, no matter whether he is criticized or praised... Now that I have chosen to embark on this path of becoming a king, I will keep going no matter what my reputation is."

The cold voice echoed on the city wall.

"Is it--"

"But for the knights under your command who choose to follow you, and for your people."

"What they expected was a perfect king, a sun that would always shine without any flaws."

"If the sun had a shadow, everyone would be sad."

"Artolis, do you remember what I just said to you?"

Cain's hazy words rang in Isadella's ears again.

"You are the leaf bathing in the sun, and I am the root buried deep."

"And the mission of the roots is to pave the way for the prosperity of the leaves..."

"so."

His robe with a black background and red clouds rustled in the howling wind on the city wall.

"Leave the rest of the work to me."

…

"Cain."

The moment the other party's words came out, Isadella noticed the determination in Cain's words.

That was not a casual remark, but a concrete plan.

"What you have to face...is hell."

"He's going to die."

She stared at the black-haired masked man in front of her with her beautiful red eyes and couldn't help but speak.

As a king, Isadella should have stripped away her personal emotions when making decisions, leaving only reason to make decisions.

She also knew Cain's abilities very well, and maybe she could really attract attention and allow the rest of the army to withdraw unscathed.

To trade a knight who is less than the title level in exchange for the preservation of the rest of the living forces... From a rational point of view, this is clearly the best choice.

However, looking at the thin black-robed figure in front of her, Isadella clearly felt some inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Although Black Knight Cain does have the reputation of being undefeated.

However, the situation this time was completely different from all previous battles.

Vortigern sits in the royal capital and may not take action easily, but among the army of abyss monsters he commands, there are many title-level abyss commanders.

even……

According to the information vaguely collected by the Akatsuki organization.

Not long ago, it seemed that an Abyss Lord descended from the abyss and headed to Esgania.

The Lord of the Abyss is equal to a legend.

With less than title-level strength, he faced a legend.

It was a desperate situation of no life or death.

However.

What responded to Isadella was only the figure that was gradually moving away.

Also, the indifferent laughter floating on the city wall.

"So, Wang, if you are reluctant to let go..."

"Then give me the reward of gold, silver and jewels that you promised me."
