Seal of God: Crossing the Snake Demon God, Devouring Evolution

Chapter 55: For the Glory of the Knights
The barrack door opened and Gao Yingjie walked in.

"Leader."

Gao Yingjie glanced at the already agitated crowd, frowned slightly, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Leader, the military is going too far. The regiment commander just came back and we are asked to report to the military again." Chen Ying'er said in a soft voice.

Gao Yingjie said: "Leave this matter to me, An Lan, come with me."

"Okay, leader."

An Lan looked at his companions and said, "I'll tell you when I come back. With the leader here, nothing will happen to me."

"Yes, Captain."

An Lan followed Gao Yingjie to the small meeting room of the Assassin's Temple.

At this moment, a group of high-ranking officials of the Assassin's Temple gathered here, as well as the leaders of the other nine new demon hunting groups, and Lan Yanyu with tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at An Lan.

Gao Yingjie brought An Lan to a tall and thin old man and said, "An Lan, this is the master of the Assassin Temple, the Holy Moon Knight."

An Lan took a step forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Sir Xiazhe."

Sheng Yue's face showed grief and a bit of anger. He nodded and said, "Tell me the truth about what happened before."

An Lan said, "This morning, I received an order to report to the military headquarters. Commander Sheng Lingxin ordered me to follow the Glorious Angel Knights to charge out of the city, saying that the leader had been notified, and I could not refuse. After the Glorious Angel Knights fought their way out of the city for several miles, they were ambushed by the invisible men of the Demonic Di Ke Clan. I resolved the crisis with the special ability of my mount, which was similar to the Eye of Truth. Commander Sheng Lingxin also noticed something was wrong, so he ordered them to return to the city, but on the way back to the city, they were blocked by the three great demon gods."

"Captain Sheng Lingxin knew that my mount was the king of the eighth-level Starry Unicorn, so he ordered me to stay with him to cover the retreat of the Knights of the Glorious Angels. Captain Sheng Lingxin seemed to have used a special ability to forcefully burst out, and eventually died at the hands of the demon. I could only desperately try to get his body back, and then I met the leader."

At this point, An Lan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, as if he was feeling grief for Sheng Lingxin's death.

The leader of the Radiant Angel Knights was a sixth-rank Radiant Knight. He also spoke up at this moment: "Master Xiazhe, what this young man said is true. If it weren't for the special ability of your mount that was similar to the Eye of Truth, even if they hadn't encountered the obstruction of the three great demon gods, the Radiant Angel Knights and the Dark Night Thorns would have suffered heavy casualties."

"Friend Anlan helped us resolve the entanglement of the Invisibles of the Earthly Tribe as quickly as possible, disrupting their original plan and forcing the three great demons to show their true colors and reveal the Demon Pillars in advance to launch an attack. In such a hurry, we were given the opportunity to come back alive. This time, we were able to come back alive, in addition to the sacrifice of the commander-in-chief, but also because of the great contribution of friend Anlan. And friend Anlan sacrificed himself to cover our retreat, which made me see the sacrificial spirit of the knights."

As he spoke, the leader of the Knights of the Glorious Angels struck his chest with his right fist and solemnly performed a knight's salute to An Lan.

An Lan returned the salute and shouted, "For the glory of the knight!"

Leader of the Knights of the Shining Angels: "For the glory of the knights."

"An Lan, as the lord of Exorcist City, I want to thank you for your contribution to Exorcist Pass. At the same time, as Lingxin's grandfather, I want to thank you for letting bygones be bygones and preserving Lingxin's body. I will always remember this kindness." Sheng Yue looked at An Lan and said solemnly.

"Master Knight, your words are too kind." An Lan was terrified.

Sheng Yue waved his hands, the grief on his face became more intense. He was silent for a long time, and finally sighed. "I will give you an explanation for this matter, and I will also compensate An Lan. Don't worry, although Ling Xin is my grandson, he made a mistake, even if he died on the battlefield, it will still be pursued."

After saying this, Sheng Yue seemed to have aged by dozens of years in an instant, and his originally tall and straight figure now looked a little hunched.

"You all can leave." Shengyue waved his hand.

An Lan followed everyone and left.

Only Sheng Yue and Lan Yanyu were left in the conference room.

"Tell me the truth, why did Ling Xin target that child named An Lan." Although Sheng Yue was very sad, she still wanted to know what happened.

Lan Yanyu's eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face. She said in a sobbing voice: "We got the news this morning that Cai'er and An Lan entered a hotel last night and only came out this morning. Ling Xin was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson..."

Sheng Yue's face suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily: "Asshole, do you want to teach him a lesson? I think you want to keep him on the battlefield."

Sheng Yuebei had always had a bad temper, and now that he knew the truth, he was even more furious. "Are your brains filled with mush? Don't you know that I personally accompanied Cai'er to the Demon Hunter Trials this time? Without my consent, how could An Lan be with Cai'er?"

"I tell you, An Lan's importance to the Knights Templar is comparable to Cai'er's importance to our Assassin's Templar."

"Hmph, now it's over. Lingxin died in vain, and we have a rift with the Knights Templar because of this. Fortunately, it was my grandson who died. If Anlan had also died on the battlefield, the Knights Templar would have turned the entire alliance upside down."

After hearing what Sheng Yue said, Lan Yanyu, who was already very regretful, could not help but be stunned. "But he bullied Cai'er, and they were so young."

Sheng Yue said coldly, "How do you know that Cai'er was bullied? Let me tell you, in the entire alliance, only An Lan is worthy of my Cai'er. What's more rare is that Cai'er actually accepted him. I don't know how An Lan did it, but don't you know what kind of personality Cai'er has? In the past ten years, neither you nor I have ever let Cai'er open her heart. She looks at us as if we were enemies. I just didn't pay attention to Cai'er for two days, and you made such a big fuss."

"If Cai'er knew that you were plotting against An Lan, what would she think?"

Lan Yanyu said sadly: "Grandpa, Lingxin has left me. Cai'er is my only daughter now, but she is a stranger to me. What should I do?"

Sheng Yue felt both sad and upset. His son and daughter-in-law died in the battle, and now his grandson had also left him.

And in this way, he caused great disaster.

……

An Lan returned to the barracks. He was very tired at this moment. Everyone knew that An Lan was very weak, so they did not ask about what happened, but waited for An Lan to recover.

It seemed that because of An Lan, the No. 1 Demon Hunting Group did not receive any city defense missions throughout the day.

Night falls quickly.

There was another knock on the barrack door.
