CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 245: A COMPLETE FAREWELL TO THE MUTE BRIDE

Audrey, after asking, Lin Rui glanced at her; this woman has been acting strange ever since she got here.

"Why did you bring so many Holy Grail Knights? Don’t you have Blood Dragon Knights yourself?"

Indeed, Blood Dragons might not be the match for Holy Grail Knights in one-on-one battles.

But being a combination of vampire + dragon bloodline + knight, they’re naturally bred for large-scale warfare, perfect for these blood-soaked battlefields.

Moreover, harmony can’t be described between the two.

The actual situation is that if they sat in a tavern, soon enough one Holy Grail Knight or Blood Dragon Knight would arrogantly provoke, and the provoked would scoff right back, daring them to a fight.

And then trying leads to demise.

So far, it’s usually the Holy Grail Knights playing the provocateur role.

Because in the territorial command sequence, excluding heroes, they’re practically at the top. Even Goddess Priestess Yuyu can’t command them. After all, they’re all Tier Five Epic-level, if the Holy Grail Knights show no respect, Yuyu has no way. She’s a small weakling who would just get beaten up.

But there are only a few heroes in the territory; when Wutong is present, naturally the heavens calm, everyone stands solemnly and respectfully bows.

Other than that, Terion and Hanna are not as strong but a glare from them is enough to make them sit down obediently.

But the issue is, Hanna stirring up fun is a blessing, while Terion is frequently out cleaning monster tribes or barbarian nests near the territory.

So most of the time, no one can manage these Holy Grail Knights.

Though Audrey can still restrain her Blood Dragon Knights.

The Holy Grail Knights, bold as they are, dare not provoke this black-hearted girl of the realm.

Who knows what bizarre ideas could sprout from her harebrained head. Fighting inside the tavern is normalcy for knights, no issue at all.

But take it outside the tavern, and everyone involved would end up hung up and beaten by Great Lord Lin.

That harebrained girl might not mind it; she might even enjoy it. But the Holy Grail Knights certainly politely refuse.

However, all this hinges on both sides being peaceful, yet Audrey drags them all under her command, relocates so many Holy Grail Knights to aid in battles against the Undead, seems she’s about to stir some fun?

Morale -8 is very likely.

So these unruly knights would be better off under someone from their own leading them.

Audrey also argued back: "I’m just worried about fighting with the Holy Grail Knights, so I plan to pick a few with good tempers. I’ll just take Falken and Violet with me."

Falken, Wutong’s number one sycophant, the chief Knight Commander of Golden Pansy Knight Order, the only Tier Six Epic Holy Grail Knight.

Bringing him, very normal, since apart from Su Xi and Death’s Wings, he’s the strongest combat asset in the territory.

But Lin Rui regarded Audrey and asked, "Why bring Violet? She’s only Tier Four."

Audrey, feeling somewhat guilty, replied: "It doesn’t matter; she can casually advance to Tier Five. The main thing is we have a good relationship, she won’t clash with me."

"You have a good relationship with her?"

"Well... not especially good. After all, she’s the Knight King, has a good relationship with everyone in the territory."

"That’s totally because of her good character, right? You do have some self-awareness."

Audrey cautiously said: "Whether I have self-awareness is uncertain. But Father, you shouldn’t take advantage of her just because she’s good to everyone. Especially not exploiting her vulnerability, she’s only 17!"

"I’m sensing some double meaning in your words? What do you mean by exploiting vulnerability?"

"Taking advantage? Making use of the situation? Going along with it? Guiding by occasion?"

"...Enough with your half-baked idioms. You’re saying I shouldn’t use her compliance to get her body, right?"

Audrey dodged the subject, "I... I didn’t say that. I merely mentioned she’s seventeen."

"The appearance halted at 17," Lin Rui corrected, "In fact, she’s experienced prolonged warfare, was once an outstanding war machine."

"That... she’s still a loli, although fierce, yet you dislike lolis!"

But her demeanor is very regal. And those long legs.

Lin Rui glanced at Audrey, asking, "What exactly are you trying to say? Did you come here to discuss Violet?"

Audrey quickly said: "I... I just want to take Violet out tonight, not keep her inside the territory."

"There ought to be a reason, right?"

"To have her help me lead the Holy Grail Knights, and assist in strategizing warfare with me. Didn’t she lead knights before too?"

Indeed, though appearing young, she’s also a seasoned knight veteran in the territory.

Even in terms of reward for merit, it’s about time she receives recognition.

So Lin Rui said: "You can have her lead knights tonight with you. Since there will be troop leadership, elevate her to a knight as well. The territory dearly needs a Knight Hero."

Due to the presence of [Great Skill Dominator’s Waste Reinforcement Workshop], territorial knights can infinitely stack Defense Value.

At this point, adding a knight-type hero to provide defense buffs would render knights’ defenses sturdier than nails. Rock solid, firmly rooted on the battlefield.

Lin Rui just hadn’t decided who among the knights to promote to hero.

Promotions must happen; considering the time is already sunset, the territory’s celebration feast has begun taking shape.
