Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Back to the knights’ rest area, it was actually the former city lord’s mansion in the center of the entire second city.

Ye He saw two figures, one red and one blue, standing in the main hall. A messenger mentioned by the Phantom Knight was hurriedly reporting the urgent battle situation to the knights.

The Phantom Knight raised her legs and stepped forward, a purple light bursting out from her body that obscured the evening dress she was wearing, and then the Fire Knight and the Ice Knight put on the armor of the King's Knight.

But what made everyone look at her in surprise was that her aura suddenly rose after she put on the armor, and suddenly reached a level that was even stronger than the two knights of ice and fire.

This is very abnormal because the strength of the knights should be roughly the same.

The Phantom Knight, who had suddenly become stronger, paused in her tracks. She twisted her neck slightly, as if she wanted to look back at Ye He.

But she finally gave up the action and walked into the main hall as if nothing had happened.

"magical?"

The Fire Knight asked her in confusion, while the Ice Knight walked past the Phantom Knight and looked at Ye He who followed the Phantom Knight into the main hall.

"How's the battle going? Any news?"

The Phantom Knight skipped the question about his own strength improvement and asked the messenger about business.

“Reporting to Sir Knight, there are also abnormal tidal waves along the coastline of the western front of the empire!
The abnormal tide that hit was extremely fierce, and the entire west coast was close to being completely conquered!
The king's order is to order all knights to complete the clearance of anomalies in the southeast region within one day, and then ask all knights to move to the west coast to fight the enemy together with the Wind Knight and Light Knight who are already on the front line!
Even if you fail to completely eliminate the abnormalities in the southeast region within one day, if the battle situation permits, the Fire Knights and Phantom Knights must immediately set off for the west coast!"

There are also abnormalities on the west side of the empire? It sounds like the war situation is not good?
The knights looked at each other, and the Phantom Knight replied to the messenger:
"We understand. Take your orders! Ice, Fire, He, prepare in fifteen minutes, and then we'll set off immediately!"

"Yes!"*2
"it is good."

The messenger retreated, and the Phantom Knight and the Fire Knight walked to the left side of the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion together, while Ye He walked to the right side with the Ice Knight.

"what happened?"

Ye He had long noticed the Ice Knight's frequent gazes on her, but she had not yet switched back from her silent state in front of outsiders.

Or maybe... she hasn't figured out how to start the conversation yet.

When asked by Ye He, the Ice Knight could no longer hold back and asked Ye He:

"Why did you and Huan... spend the whole night together? How did Huan suddenly become so strong?"

Ye He didn't know how to answer her for these two questions. He couldn't tell her the truth: Oh, we were drunk and had sex all night. Maybe I was the one who made her stronger.

"We were drunk, Huan... I'm not sure, and I don't know you, the King's Knights."

Ye He shrugged at the Ice Knight pretending to be relaxed. This was the most information he could reveal to the Ice Knight without lying.

Facing the Ice Knight's skeptical gaze, Ye He smelled himself.

Apart from the wine that was splashed on him by the Phantom Knight, there was actually no strange smell on him.

He still said to the Ice Knight: "I smell of alcohol. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes. You should also get ready. The battle is about to begin!"

Speaking of business, the Ice Knight finally pushed his doubts deep into his heart and decided to concentrate on dealing with the anomaly first.

Anyway, Ye He is still by her side, so even if the war is not going well, the two of them have to stay on the front line here.

She still had many opportunities to find Ye He to get things clear, especially to figure out what that vague feeling of emptiness in her heart was.

Ye He stopped there, but it was not so easy for Phantom Knight and Fire Knight to calm down.

The Fire Knight followed the Phantom Knight silently into the Phantom Knight's room. The Phantom Knight needed to take a shower and change clothes more than Ye He, but being followed by the Fire Knight...

"What's wrong? I need to shower and change. Can you wait for me outside the door?"

Like Ye He, Phantom Knight and Fire Knight spoke without blushing or getting nervous.

But after the Fire Knight took off his armor, he touched his chin thoughtfully and suddenly asked the Phantom Knight:

"Did you...do something to offend Bing?"

The Phantom Knight's body immediately tensed up and stiffened. Fortunately, she hadn't taken off her armor yet, so she didn't look nervous.

She secretly adjusted her breathing and voice, and asked the Fire Knight:
"I'm sorry Bing? Me? Why do you have such an outrageous question?"

"Then what's the matter with your strength? You went out with Knight Hercules for a night, and when you came back you smelled like each other... You didn't cheat on me, did you?"

The Fire Knight's thoughtless question made the Phantom Knight speechless.

Only then did she remember that the Fire Knight had a famously sensitive nose.

But the Phantom Knight soon relaxed again, because she also knew that although the Fire Knight particularly worshipped love, she had actually never been in love before.

Therefore, she was unable to distinguish any smell other than the basic body odor of the two people.

"Oh, I guess it was accidentally rubbed against him when I was blocking the wine for him. Well, time is running out, you should go back and get ready."

Although this was just an extremely lame excuse, the Fire Knight unexpectedly accepted it.

She even forgot to figure out why Phantom Knight's strength had increased, and just left Phantom Knight's room.

The Phantom Knight had time to close the door and quickly went to the bathroom to wash up.

However, while taking a shower, Phantom Knight also took a curious look at his palms.

My strength has increased. Could it be related to that stupid younger brother?
Otherwise, why are they all gone?
Forget it, let’s get down to business!
Fifteen minutes later, three rays of light flew out from the center of the second city at the same time and shot towards the southeast at an extremely fast speed.

Ye He was being carried by the Ice Knight. Although he could fly by himself, Camelot's flying speed was hard to describe. He was carrying out the king's orders with the knights, so it was impossible for the knights to accommodate him and fly slowly.

Thanks to the support of the Ice Knight, Ye He followed the three knights across the battlefield in the southeast, over the mountains and rivers, and soon saw a quiet city.

Everyone gathered their light and stayed in mid-air. Ye He also stood alone on Camelot, and the Phantom Knight introduced him:

“This is one of the two cities that have fallen. There is another most terrifying city further southeast. The source of the strongest anomaly is over there.

But our goal is to eliminate all anomalies here, so this city cannot be spared."

After saying that, the Phantom Knight and the other two knights looked at Ye He, as if expecting Ye He to take action.

"We agreed in advance that there should be no survivors in this city, right?"

Ye He doesn't mind doing it himself, he is interested in blowing up anything.

The only difference between him and Jinx is that he personally prefers to attack targets at the city level.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he would have fought for without the Knights asking him to do so.

But when he asked this, the knights looked at each other in confusion.

"Are there any survivors?"

Ye He was stunned. Is it true?

"Yes, there is no particularly strong source of abnormality in the city here. People who run to higher places may survive, but..."

Phantom Knight explained to Ye He.

"But they are likely to have been infected to varying degrees. The king's order is... no need to rescue them."

It was the Ice Knight who spoke cruel words indifferently, destroying the last glimmer of hope for those survivors who were still lingering on.

"Ok."

Ye He nodded and was about to take action, but suddenly found that he was following his nature and being cold and ruthless... It seemed inconsistent with his current humanity.

Through Caesar's inspection, Ye He discovered that the Ice Knight's lips hidden under the helmet were just pursed together, and the Fire Knight's lips were even more obvious, he simply turned his head away, which made Ye He feel very sorry.

Only the Phantom Knight was still looking at her calmly. She was obviously more curious about whether her improved strength after a night of love had anything to do with Ye He.

"I think... we should try to save them. If there are survivors who are not severely infected, maybe it would be a good thing?"

When saying these righteous words, Ye He seemed to hear the wailing of many innocent souls who had died unjustly at his hands.

But in order to please these knights, I have to be a nice guy.

Anyway, I won't have any psychological burden. If there is a problem with the survivors I rescued, I can just kill them.

The eyes of the two knights of Ice and Fire suddenly lit up. They were just pure and kind girls. Although they could do anything for the king's orders, they still wanted to do their best if the king allowed it.

Still, only Phantom Knight frowned immediately, but she couldn't ask too much of these three companions who agreed with her.

The minority obeyed the majority, and the four of them dispersed and flew towards the city below from different directions.

"Roar!!!"

"Ugh..."

The abnormal frenzy that Ye He tore apart yesterday seemed to have run out of this city, and there are not many abnormalities left in this city.

But this city, which was ravaged by abnormalities, was in a state of deathly silence, and the few abnormal roars could be heard far away.

"Is there anyone alive? This is the King's Knight!"

The Fire Knight shouted loudly as she landed. She was impatient, so she didn't want to search step by step.

Naturally, her voice attracted the abnormality hiding in the dark first.

But the number of these anomalies was already small, and the Fire Knight raised his hand towards them, summoning a ball of explosive fire to blow them away.

The Ice Knight and the Phantom Knight landed in two other urban areas to search. They did not land on the ground, but only shuttled between the buildings.

After a while, they actually found a few survivors who were pale and thin from hunger, and the Fire Knight also received a small group of people who ran out after hearing her voice.

The knights gathered these survivors together, and while eliminating the anomalies that crawled out of the ruins, they also covered the survivors' evacuation to the northwest.

The process took them nearly two hours, with three trips back and forth, before they were sure that there were no more survivors in the urban areas they were searching.

"What about He?"

Just as the knights were curious about Ye He's whereabouts, a huge silver disc suddenly flew over from the southeast of the city.

Ye He stood at the front of the disc, and dozens of survivors huddled behind him.

He brought out all the survivors he could find in one breath.

"I will continue to check the city," Ye He said to the three knights after putting the survivors down.
"One of you can go to the second city to call for the supporting soldiers... Never mind, it's too far. Bing, condense a large enough platform with guardrails, and you can send the people back together and come back."

This place is nearly a hundred kilometers away from the second capital. The soldiers have to travel through mountains and rivers to get here, and it will take at least a day and a night.

These weak survivors who had been hungry for so long could not hold on until that time, so Ye He gave the knights some advice.

With no better solution, the knights agreed to Ye He's proposal, and the Ice Knight immediately began to condense ice on the open space on the side.

The Fire Knight was moving among the survivors, trying to comfort their emotions after escaping death, but the Phantom Knight unexpectedly frowned and looked at the several figures among the survivors without saying a word.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, several bullets flew into the crowd, killing the people that the Phantom Knight noticed one by one!

"ah!"

"?"

Both the Ice and Fire Knights were startled by Ye He's sudden killing, but Ye He smiled back at them:
“They seem to be quite full…”

This sentence left the two knights speechless, and the Phantom Knight even cast an admiring look at Ye He.

The disaster came suddenly and lasted for nearly three months. It was impossible for these men to live comfortably in such an environment.

So, the reason why they can have enough to eat...is not worth thinking about.

Just look at the survivors who threw themselves on the bodies of these people to vent their anger.

But even so, there was a lady among the survivors who suddenly stood up and glared at Ye He.

She didn't know the inside story, nor did she know Ye He's identity, let alone the reason why Ye He suddenly killed people.

Even though she was one of the survivors rescued by Ye He himself, she only knew that Ye He had killed someone and was a murderer!
Fortunately, before Ye He raised his gun, the Phantom Knight waved at her in advance, causing her to sit down with a confused look.

"She is the daughter of the Lord of the Twelve Cities. As I remember her, she was just an ignorant young lady."

The Phantom Knight took the initiative to introduce the woman's identity to Ye He, thus eliminating an unnecessary misunderstanding in advance.

Ye He shrugged at her, then stepped onto the silver disc and flew back into the second capital.

After shuttling back and forth in the city several times, Caesar's wide-area scan found several dying survivors for Yehe.

Ye He gave them some water to keep them alive, then sent them onto the ice platform built by the Ice Knights, and asked the knights to lift the platform to send the survivors to the second city.
