Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Of course, the absence of talking does not mean that there is no movement in Ye He's room.

The Phantom Knight and Fire Knight, whose strength has been improved, live near Yehe.

Therefore, even if the Ice Knight finally became aware of their presence and froze the entire room with ice, they had already heard things they shouldn't have heard.

"ice……"

The Phantom Knight glanced in the direction of Ye He's room somewhat awkwardly.

First it was fire... then it was ice... what was the charm of this seemingly innocent brat?
He wouldn't... want to take all five of the knights...

Why did I have such a thought?! Nothing happened the night before last! Yes, nothing happened!

The self-deceiving Phantom Knight closed his room and curled himself up in bed.

She knew that she and Ye He had no "friendship" at all, no emotional foundation at all, and many things were not something she should consider.

But the Ice Knight and Ye He are different, they are a couple recognized by the king!
Unlike the Phantom Knight, the Fire Knight was not only surprised by the Ice Knight's initiative towards Ye He, but was also so excited that he was at a loss as to what to do.

Because she inexplicably felt that as long as Ye He could... ahem... "improve the strength" of the five great knights, she would not be conspicuous and could serve... ahem... stay by Ye He's side!

This strange excitement made the Fire Knight stay quietly in the room, waiting for the Ice Knight to "finish".

As for the Ice Knight...

It's actually... true?!
After recovering from his confusion, the Ice Knight looked at the palm of his hand in surprise.

Her strength actually increased, and Ye He was not making excuses!

"Very surprised?"

Ye He, who was lying on the Ice Knight's chest, raised his head and met the Ice Knight's gaze with a smile.

His ardent gaze and body temperature made the Ice Knight feel very comfortable, but they also made the shy girl, who had regained her sanity, gradually panic.

"You... That's right! Are you as strong as Huan and Huo?"

When the Ice Knight realized the truth, Ye He smiled calmly at him and said:

"They are different from you. Each of you has a different way of increasing your strength. For example, the Phantom Knight's strength increases after he sobers up."

Ye He cleverly diverted the Ice Knight's attention, making her mistakenly believe that the Phantom Knight's strength improvement was only due to drunkenness.

By analogy, Ye He also cited "injury" as the reason for the Fire Knight's improvement in strength.

All I can say is that people in this ancient era were too naive, especially a young lady like the Ice Knight who had never read any romance novels.

She actually believed Ye He's lies. Under Ye He's guidance, she happily attributed the improvement of her strength to the effect of love.

But she was still a little thin-skinned. When Ye He looked at her with eager eyes, she quietly melted away and ran away from Ye He's room.

After returning to her own room, the Ice Knight froze her room. It seemed that she would not come out again until the departure time tomorrow.

Ye He, who was enjoying his leisure time, was just about to lie down to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered something and opened his eyes again.

He thought about it for a moment, then simply got up, put on some clothes, and left his room.

The reason that drove Ye He to act was nothing else but because Ye He remembered that the Ice Knight's soundproof ice layer was released too slowly, and the Phantom Knight and the Fire Knight should have known that she was in her room.

The Phantom Knight is fine. Ye He doesn't need to worry about this self-deceiving knight.

But the Ice Knight's increased strength made her more rational. The drug called love alone was not enough to make her Ye He's eyes and ears to inquire about the news from the emperor.

In order to have sufficient intelligence when he arrived at the Western Front, Ye He left the room and away from other knights, and used Caesar to call out the Fire Knight who was in his room.

Ye He found a kitchen that should be used by the servants of the city lord's mansion. It was remote enough and seemed to have good sound insulation.

He lit the stove, and the flames immediately burst into flames, transforming into a fire knight who followed him obediently.

This knight, who had a serious masochistic tendency in her bones, was most suitable for Ye He's adjustment and education. Ye He asked her not to bring clothes when she came, so she showed up naked.

"H... Master."

The Fire Knight shyly came in front of Ye He, and what Ye He wanted to do was to consolidate his position as her master in her mind and make her his eyes and ears for the rest of his journey.

This took Ye He a lot of time. When Ye He, who had a great time, returned to his residence, it was already late at night.

Fortunately, the city lord's mansion was empty, and the other two knights stayed in their respective rooms, and took the initiative to use their power to isolate the inside and outside of the room.

So when Ye He let the Fire Knight at his feet crawl back to his room, nothing else happened, and he finally got some time to rest.

The next morning, the three knights put on their armor as if nothing had happened, and walked out of the room at the same time as Ye He.

In order to avoid his two companions being surprised by his increased strength, the Ice Knight suppressed his shame and quickly approached Ye He and took him with him, turning into light and flying away.

The other two knights followed without hesitation. It seemed that Ye He’s journey would not cause any problems.

However, the western front of the empire was too far away, and the three knights had to stay for two more nights no matter how hard they tried.

On the second night, Ye He still chose the order of "ice first, then fire" to "nurture feelings".

The Phantom Knight seemed to have noticed something strange about the Fire Knight, but because she felt guilty, she didn't ask any further questions.

On the third night, the Ice Knight, feeling that the male beauty was too tempting, sealed the room with ice in advance and locked Ye He out.

So Ye He had no choice but to carry the bottle of wine to the Phantom Knight's room.

In fact, Phantom Knight refused to drink with Ye He at first, but Ye He did not invite her and deliberately drank in front of her, which aroused her alcohol addiction.

In the end, the few bottles of wine that Ye He took out went into Phantom Knight's stomach. This woman who couldn't resist alcohol soon climbed onto Ye He's body under the influence of alcohol...

Because the Phantom Knight was "viciously" retaliated against by Ye He in the early morning after she sobered up, she could no longer deceive herself and pretend that nothing had happened.

Fortunately, during the day, everyone finally rushed to the Western Front.

As the blue, red and purple lights fell on the front-line city, civilians and soldiers all over the city cheered excitedly.

The five knights of the king gathered together, and in their opinion, the dawn of victory was about to fall from the dark sky.

"How's the battle going?"

As soon as the Phantom Knight, who was leading the way, stepped into the temporary command room, he went straight to the point with his two fellow knights who were wearing white armor and blue armor.

"Not good."

The Wind Knight in green armor responded to the Phantom Knight, and then together with the Light Knight in white armor, they noticed Ye He who was among the companions who came to support them.

"You are the Knight of Destruction? He?" The Knight of Light came to Ye He arrogantly. Even with the helmet covering her face, everyone could feel her contemptuous gaze towards Ye He, who had no sense of aura and looked like an ordinary person.

"You don't seem to have any special abilities. I don't understand why the king would recognize a commoner like you who suddenly showed up."

"Light!"

Before Ye He could say anything, the Ice Knight and the Fire Knight couldn't help but take a step forward and protected Ye He behind them.

"Knight of Light!"

The Phantom Knight also subconsciously stood up for Ye He and asked the Light Knight very impolitely:

"Are you questioning the king's approval and the military achievements that He has made on the southeastern front?"

The action of the three companions simultaneously speaking up for an "outsider" caught the Light Knight off guard.

Her arrogant demeanor immediately faded, and she and the Wind Knight looked at their companions in shock.

"He has effectively eliminated tens of thousands of anomalies, at least double-digit anomaly sources, without sacrificing a single ounce of the Empire's military strength."

The Ice Knight spoke up.

"The source of the super-high-level anomaly hidden in the Sixteenth City is not something we can deal with, but He Hehuo solved it completely."

The Phantom Knight added.

"Lord... Knight He also helped us improve our strength. Can't you feel that we have become stronger?"

The Fire Knight, who was a step slower, could not find any more praiseworthy advantages of Ye He, and blurted out the matter without thinking.

As soon as she finished speaking, the bodies of the Ice Knight and the Phantom Knight stiffened first, and the Light Knight and the Wind Knight looked at Ye He in surprise.

Improve strength?

Only then did they realize that the strength of these three companions, whom they had not seen for many days, had indeed made visible progress.

At first they thought that these three companions were the ones who had honed and improved themselves on the battlefield, but they never expected that they were brought to them by this mortal boy.

The atmosphere in the temporary command room suddenly fell silent. In order to prevent the two knights from becoming suspicious, Ye He had to be the first to speak and break the silence.

He first gave the Light Knight a provocative smile:

"I don't like people questioning my strength. I should have dueled with you, but considering that this is a battlefield, why don't we make a bet!"

"bet?"

The Light Knight was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time someone had asked her to make a bet. She felt an inexplicable urge that excited her, and she immediately asked Ye He:

"What are you gambling?"

"This is a battlefield. How about we bet on who can kill more anomalies before night falls?
As for the bet... the winner can unconditionally ask the loser to do one thing, as long as it does not betray the empire or publicly humiliate the honor. "

Ye He knew in advance that the Light Knight's spiritual weakness was gambling, or the gambler's mentality.

The betting method he proposed would definitely be very appropriate on the battlefield. No one could say it was wrong. Moreover, the bet he set in advance also sounded quite acceptable.

The other knights did not think there was anything unusual. The Wind Knight was happy to see Ye He's strength, and the other three knights also thought that this way of betting was very good.

Especially the Ice Knight. When she heard Ye He say the word "duel" just now, she felt inexplicably unhappy.

She subconsciously didn't want Ye He to "duel" with other people, so that the duel between her and Ye He could become a precious memory unique to the two of them.

The duel turned into this kind of well-timed bet, which was perfect for the Ice Knight.

She and the Fire Knight, who had already blindly trusted Ye He, held their heads high and looked at the Light Knight with provocation, following Ye He's lead.

"Okay! Let's make a bet! Just wait to be this knight's servant! Hahahaha..."

Stimulated by the gazes of his companions and his inner urge to try, the Light Knight brazenly accepted the bet.

She had never seen Ye He's explosives, so she didn't care at all about Ye He's apparent "fragile" appearance.

Even if this is a young man with extraordinary fighting skills, how many anomalies can he kill by himself?

The Light Knight looked at the Ice Knight, then looked at his companion who was standing almost next to Ye He.

Humph, I'm afraid this kid's status is just as the rumors say, he only obtained it through the identity of the Ice Knight's "fiancé".

Bing, Bing... Just protect him! I will keep an eye on you later to prevent you from helping him cheat!

After the agreement was reached, the knights and Ye He left the temporary command room and came to the western suburbs of the city.

Looking to the west from here, you can see the rugged sea about one kilometer away and the ports built on the coast.

However, these ports have now become ruins, exposed to the merciless beating of the dark sea water. Under the gloomy sky, a cold sea breeze blew, and a broken lighthouse with its fireworks extinguished collapsed.

The anomalies that invaded the shore from the sea have dragged this coastline into the quagmire of war.

What's worse is that because the empire's response was about a day slow, the coastal cities to the southwest and northwest had already been breached.

Not only were the cities destroyed and people killed, but the massive number of residents in the prosperous coastal cities also added a huge amount of "living force" to the abnormal army.

The city that Ye He and others arrived at was the 28th capital of the empire, and it was the only remaining coastal city in the empire.

"You go over there, I'll go over here. Fire, you come and help me with the statistics. Wind, you go over there and help him with the statistics. Huan and Bing will stay here."

The Light Knight waved his hand and defined the battle zones for her and Ye He, as well as the people who would assist in counting the battle achievements.

At the same time, she secretly played some tricks and kept the Ice Knight and Phantom Knight, who seemed to have a good relationship with Ye He, in place.

She knew that the Wind Knight would not betray her, so she brought the Fire Knight along, both to convince Ye He and so that she could secretly ask Huo about it later.

What is “strengthening your strength”?

"it is good."

Ye He nodded to the Light Knight, agreed to her plan, and then flew towards his own battle zone alone on the silver disc.

At the signal from the Light Knight, the Wind Knight reluctantly followed Ye He, and the Fire Knight also responded to Ye He's eye signal and came to the side of the Light Knight.
