Ecklaus laughed:

"This is the first time I've ever seen you cry like this, Hannah."

The woman in black, fighting back tears, grabbed Ecklaus's arm hard.

"You didn't cry! If you didn't cry, why are your eyes red?!"

Ecklaus smiled:

"The sand got in. A true tactical mastermind doesn't cry over a short-lived victory."

But his hand, gripping the blade, trembled uncontrollably, betraying his intense excitement.

He recalled his original motivation for joining the Knights: to protect the kingdom where he was born.

But repeated failures and compromises made him doubt himself on countless nights.

Only after witnessing such a victory today did he remember how he had repeatedly shouted that the kingdom would win and how he had longed for victory.

They've been holding back for far too long.

"That was fucking awesome!"

He couldn't help but shout.

"We won!!! We won!!!"

"We not only survived, we won!!!"

"We can win!!!"

"The kingdom will prevail!!!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

"The kingdom will prevail!!!"

"Invasive races will perish!!!"

"The kingdom will prevail!!!"

"Invasive races will perish!!!"

"Vulture!"

Then someone else shouted.

“Vulture!!!”

The entire knight order roared in unison.

Miler brought a wounded and dying fourth-tier slime to Luo Xiu.

"...Master, this is as you instructed, he has only one breath left."

Milair spoke in a low voice.

Hearing the cheers of the knights behind her, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She was deeply moved by the joy that burst forth from the deepest part of people's hearts, but she didn't want to show it.

Especially in front of Luo Xiu.

“Well done, Milair.”

Luo Xiu caught the fourth-tier slime and crushed it to death, saying:

"I didn't expect you to be able to defeat a fourth-tier slime on your own."

"That summoned spirit was a great help before it disappeared."

Milair lowered his head, his face stiff.

But Luo Xiu's next words made her raise her head:

"Smile."

She looked at Luo Xiu in astonishment.

Luo Xiu smiled and said:

"Did you hear the cheers behind you? A part of them belongs to you."

"No, to be precise, after this is over, all the cheers, including the cheers of the entire Bandanda, will belong to you."

“I heard from Ecklaus that you really enjoy people’s compliments and flowers.”

"It should be possible to get what I want soon."

Milair listened to Luo Xiu's words and turned around.

I heard someone in the Knights calling out their name.

Finally, a smile appeared on her face.

She respectfully addressed Luo Xiu:

"Thank you, Master."

Luo Xiu nodded and walked towards old White.

After his soul surge overwhelmed the slime, he remained in a daze, staring blankly at the ground, seemingly lost in thought.

Only when Luo Xiu approached did he snap out of his daze and speak:

"Little Luo Xiu, that fourth-tier slime should still be alive in the turmoil. My skill just now couldn't kill it instantly."

"Wait a moment, the soul turmoil will end soon."

Luo Xiu nodded:

"It's alright, old White."

"Thank you so much this time."

Old White raised his head, his voice slightly choked with emotion:

"Thank you."

Luo Xiu smiled and made a gesture commonly used throughout the kingdom:

"Don't try to be sentimental with me, you old geezer."

Hearing Luo Xiu say that, old White finally returned to normal.

He immediately responded with a universal kingdom gesture:

"I haven't even bothered with the bad things you've done using my Vulture's name! Damn it, you'd better pay me back at 1000 copper coins per time."

"There are gains and losses."

Luo Xiu smiled:

“Listen to your surroundings, so many people are calling you Vulture's name. You're going to be famous now.”

Old White turned around when he heard this.

He had been so preoccupied with the past that he hadn't noticed the Knights chanting the Vulture's name.

He looked at the vultures, each of them slumped on the ground, exhausted, but each with a smile on their face.

Seeing old White looking at them, they all waved happily:

"Boss!"

"The boss is mighty!"

"Boss was so cool just now!!!"

Old White quickly turned his back, blinked his small eyes, took off his monocle, and wiped it vigorously a few times.

Luo Xiu watched this scene, smiled, and walked towards the fading tide of souls.

Amidst the raging tide, a dark, round sphere lying on the ground could be faintly seen.

But just as he got closer,

The pitch-black sphere suddenly jumped up.

Its body was surging with primordial matter.

It turned out to be the primal power that it had deliberately not used when it first fought Old White. Now it was attached to its body and dragged it away into the distance at an astonishing speed.

Luo Xiu was stunned, but then smiled slightly. He had anticipated from the beginning that Old White and this fourth-tier slime would only be evenly matched.

He has already exceeded his expectations.

This is also normal.

Beside her, Milair rushed over. Looking at the slime, which had flown far away and was almost a black dot, Milair said:

"Master, I'll go after it. It won't stay in this state for long."

Luo Xiu nodded.

Milair immediately got up and went after him.

But after Miler had chased after her for a while, she suddenly stopped.

Then, she ran wildly toward Luo Xiu with a look of terror on her face.

Luo Xiu asked in confusion:

"What's wrong, Milair?"

"A terrifying pressure—"

Before Milair could finish speaking...

A green arm, as large as a giant, stretched out from the forest at the far end of the field of vision.

The arm held an enormous stone hammer covered in moss, and to everyone's astonishment, it slammed it down hard on the fourth-tier slime in the distance, which had been reduced to a black dot.

Boom! ! !

The entire earth trembled because of this.

At the edge of the field of vision, a terrifying pit appeared. Although the fourth-tier slime could not see clearly what was going on, it could guess that there was not even ashes left.
