Chapter 315: Serving the King
Sardinia, County of Oristano.

In a luxurious hotel in Oristano County, in a large room like a presidential suite, Erica was talking to someone on the phone.

"That's the situation, uncle." Erica held the phone and whispered, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Erica's words were met with a heavy voice.

"No need to apologize, Erica."

The person Erica was talking to was the only relative she had left in this world, her uncle, Paul Brantly.

Hearing her uncle's familiar voice, Erica's image automatically appeared in her mind.

He was a man whose figure could be likened to that of the statue of David.

The man was almost forty, but still as energetic as a young man. His sculptured face was full of intelligence and temperament, and his perfect body, like steel, had been rigorously trained. No matter from which aspect, he was a man worthy of the position of the highest knight.

As strong and proud as Erica was, she only maintained superficial respect for the apparent king of Italy, Salvatore Donni. In fact, she never regarded him as someone worthy of respect. Instead, she regarded him as a monster and a barbarian. She thought that his head looked like it had been chewed by a bear and there was no need to respect him at all.

But Erica respected Paul, her uncle, from the bottom of her heart.

Because the other party had never let her down. Whether as a knight, as a relative, or even as the commander-in-chief of the Copper and Black Cross, her uncle was perfect and impeccable, and he met all the perfect images in Erica's mind.

This is definitely not a filter, as people all over Italy can attest.

In terms of strength, he is a paladin, a being standing at the pinnacle of humanity, able to slay mythical beasts with a single sword and fight against demigods. In terms of brains, he once worked with the former Speaker of the Council of Sages to set up a plan to force back a godslayer. Such feats are still being spread like wildfire until now, making him the object of admiration for countless knights.

It can be said that Erica is working hard with Paul as her goal, and her greatest pursuit is to become like her uncle.

As for the God Slayer?
They are a group of self-centered, lawless demon kings. They may be very powerful, but they are not worthy of pursuit and admiration.

In Italy, there has always been a saying.

The world believed that the strongest knight in Italy was Salbatore Doni, but the highest-ranking knight was Paolo Brantelli.

Although Paul himself humbly denied it, Salvatore Doni, another party involved, once admitted this fact with a smile, believing that as a knight, he was far inferior to Paul.

This is Erica's uncle, the current commander-in-chief of the Copper and Black Cross.

At this moment, this figure who stood at the pinnacle of Milan's magic world spoke to Erica in a kind voice.

"You are my most proud treasure, a genius child who will one day stand at the top of the society. This is my personal hope and the future I have always believed in."

"Sooner or later, you will surpass me and all the ancestors of the Blantry family, and become second only to the ancestor of the family who is a god-killer."

"So, don't feel bad about your behavior, kid. You just lack some experience in facing God."

Erica felt much better after hearing her uncle's comforting words.

"But compared to the gods and the godslayers, I am still far behind."

Erica couldn't help but say this.

"You can't think like that, Erica." Paul advised, "It's meaningless to compare yourself with gods and the kings who killed them."

"You are a human being, so the person you need to compare yourself to must also be a human being."

"Gods and the godslayers are not human beings. They are beings beyond human cognition."

"As a knight, you can kill savage monsters and vicious beasts, but you can't think about killing the earth or the sea. Do you understand?"

The implication of Paul's words is obvious, that is, there is no need to regard gods and godslayers as human beings.

How can humans fight against natural disasters?
How can humans be compared with nature?

Gods and godslayers are natural disasters, bugs created in nature.

Compared with them, it is totally unnecessary.

"I understand, uncle."

Erica accepted this.

In the past, even if she accepted it on the surface, she would not accept it in her heart.

However, after facing the real gods and seeing the power of the godslayer, she was no longer as proud and complacent as before.

Only by recognizing the reality can we move forward.

Erica warned herself silently, which made Paul, who had heard something, feel very relieved.

"You have grown, my child."

In fact, at the beginning, Paul did not agree with Erica coming to Sardinia.

In his opinion, Erica still had a lot to learn and she was too young now. If she wanted to learn God's word, it wouldn't be too late in a few years.

Unfortunately, Erica was very persistent and Paul had no choice but to agree.

Now it seems that things are moving in the right direction, and he can feel a little more at ease.

While feeling relieved, Paul gradually became serious.

"According to what you said, there are two gods that appeared in Sardinia. One is the god of victory in ancient Persian mythology, and the other is the king of the ancient Phoenician gods." "Both gods are now injured because of a great battle. The former's body was broken and transformed into several beasts, while the latter was stabbed by a golden sword that cut off his godhood, and is still trying to wear it off."

"And the king who was born not long ago has already appeared in Sardinia..."

Paul recounted the situation and calmly concluded.

"In that case, the situation is not too bad."

At least, Mekal has no time to cause trouble now, and Veleslana is still trying to retrieve his incarnation. What is wreaking havoc all over Sardinia are just divine beasts, not the gods themselves. In addition, there is already a godslayer in the area, and there is someone who can fight against the two gods. This situation is definitely a good one.

“But uncle, the two gods are still alive and may recover to their prime at any time.” Erica said, “They have already fought a battle before. If they recover, they will definitely start another battle.”

"By then, Sardinia may not have the good fortune of both sides perishing together like last time."

As long as they don't die together, the god who stays behind may cause trouble in Sardinia.

The fierce battle between gods may affect Sardinia and destroy it if it goes wrong.

The current situation is still good, but the future situation is not optimistic.

"Uncle, is there still no news from Lord Salvatore?"

Erica asked.

"The leader we are waiting for is already on his way to Sardinia." Paul knew what Erica meant, shook his head and said, "But it will take some time for you to reach Sardinia, and you may not make it in time."

Not everyone can fly here by themselves like Aize.

Most of the godslayers still use the same means of transportation as humans when traveling, because they do not necessarily have the power to travel faster than an airplane, and even if they did, it would be impossible for them to use it all the way to Sardinia regardless of consumption.

If Aize didn't have the White Dragon King's wings of light, he would probably have to take a plane. Otherwise, he would have to swim from the sea, or use exhausting methods such as instant step and ringing to travel all the way.

Therefore, it would not be so fast for the King of Italy to successfully reach Sardinia.

"This is how to do?"

Erica felt awkward.

"What did your king say?" Paul asked, and then said cautiously, "Is he willing to help?"

"It's not that he doesn't want to." Erica said in a somewhat tangled tone, "It's just that he doesn't seem to want to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he seems to be planning to wait for the two gods to recover before catching them all in one fell swoop."

Paul was not surprised at all by what Erica said.

"Since he is a king who can kill gods, it is only natural that he would not want to take advantage of the situation."

As a Cavalier, Paul can understand this approach of respecting opponents and respecting himself.

If it were him, he would not want to take advantage of someone's weakness to deal with him, but would wait for the other person to recover before fighting him openly.

Erica felt the same way, so she was not dissatisfied with Aize's actions.

But the opponent is, after all, a god who is like a natural disaster, not an ordinary human being.

If such a being were allowed to recover, the threat to humanity would be too great.

"Uncle, do I need to persuade the king again?"

Erica asked Paul for his opinion.

"No, forget it." Paul sighed and said, "The king is not someone we can influence. If we fail to persuade him and anger him instead, that would be real trouble."

Don't forget, the God Slayer is also a demon king, a humanoid disaster that can move.

There is no difference between angering them and angering the gods.

Humans cannot resist God, nor can they resist the godslayer.

One must be cautious in one's attitude towards God, and one must also be cautious in one's attitude towards godslayers.

"Erica, you will serve the king as a follower for the time being."

Paul knows more about the God Killer than Erica, and he knows much more about how to deal with the God Killer than the official history compilation committee.

Therefore, he gave the order without any hesitation.

"Don't try to do anything to influence the king's thoughts. You must always remember that you are just a subject of the king."

"As for the king's decision and his approach, you must accept it. Even if you have any objections, you must not resist it head-on."

"Use your wisdom skillfully, Erica. I believe that you can complete this task."

Paul showed Erica the utmost respect and trust.

"Yes, uncle."

Erica took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
