Chapter 108 The visitor is not friendly?
"The First Knights of Lord's Mountain pay homage to the hero!"
Their uniform demeanor and powerful shouts made them the elite force of the Wolf Knights. Their serious expressions and wolf ear headdresses left a deep impression on Yaohui.
"We have come under the Lord's orders to meet the legendary hero and to thank you for your heroic contribution in protecting the public during the previous attack by the Golden Eagle Demon. Please accept the Knights' Medal of Honor!"
As soon as the Knight Captain finished speaking, all the members knelt down to show their respect. The captain stepped forward and presented the golden medal of honor to Yaohui, attracting a large crowd to watch.
“Look at the attire of those wolf riders. They’re from Lord’s Mountain. Are they here to support us?” “Idiot, they’re obviously after the hero. Who cares about you?”
"Didn't the Wolf Knights take the Hero's Light Stone? How dare they come looking for the Hero on their own initiative? Aren't they afraid of the Hero's wrath?"
"What do you know? Didn't you see they came to give a gift?"
"Oh I got it."
The crowd watching from a distance couldn't help but speculate and discuss. After experiencing the threat of otherworldly monsters, the attack of the Golden Eagle Demon, and the revelation by the woman in white, their views on the Wolf Knights were very different from before.
"Hmm? That's unnecessary... I didn't come here for achievements."
"No, hero, this is the Knights' respect for the brave. Your selflessness and fearlessness are an example for the entire Knights. Please accept this honor. This is our knights' praise and honor for the hero!"
Haruki's helpless expression did not affect the captain's high spirits. On the contrary, the more Haruki declined, the more the captain felt that the hero was being humble, which was an even more commendable quality.
Haruki never cared much about honors in the other world. The medals and merits in this world were just souvenirs to him, like those cheap but overpriced "specialties" at tourist attractions—just for fun.
"I don't want this medal, you can keep it."
"No, those who have rendered meritorious service must be rewarded. This is one of the ironclad rules of the Knights. We cannot allow the hero to receive no reward for his merits; that would be a disrespect to the Knights!"
"This is so troublesome. I'm not a member of the Knights. Could you please change the rules so I can have a few good meals?"
“Brave warrior, we are serious! The lord has ordered that those who have performed meritorious deeds must be rewarded. It is our duty to commend you, brave warrior.”
The more Yaohui listened, the more troublesome it became. He began to feel that the captain in front of him was a bit stubborn and always acted in absolutes, which could easily cause trouble. He really didn't understand how he became the captain.
"Alright, alright, let's put the medal matter aside for now. We can discuss it again later, Hero. Besides, Captain, you brought a whole contingent of knights here; you couldn't have come just to deliver a medal, right? Is there anything else important you need to tell us?"
Seeing the situation gradually escalating, Zhao Yu stepped forward to divert the attention of both sides, so that the captain and Yao Hui could focus their energy on more important matters.
“That makes sense. The medal can be awarded along with future merits. Right now, we should focus on the important matters.”
"My God, do I really have to go through all this trouble with those 'souvenirs'?"
After calming down, the captain put away his medal. Seeing the captain's state, Haruki realized that he had no intention of giving up. Haruki decided that he must leave this place as soon as possible after the matter of the otherworldly monster was over.
"The lord has ordered our knights to assist the hero in eliminating the otherworldly monster. All members of our team and the wolf beasts will obey the hero's commands. We are all elite warriors trained by the lord's mountain, and we are determined to become the hero's sharp blade and strong shield!"
The captain gave the order again, and all the wolf riders behind him, along with the knight wolves, lined up in formation. The formation was solemn and imposing, and their extraordinary tenacity could be seen just by exchanging glances. Haruki, who had trained in the Earth forces, was well aware of this.
The warriors are all good warriors, Yaohui has no doubt about that, but Yaohui also knows that he is not a good leader. He often relies on others to help him get through difficult times. As for leading this team of knights, Yaohui is self-aware that he does not have the ability.
"What should I do, Zhaoyu? These knights seem determined to follow me. How can I refuse them? These warriors have come all the way from Lord's Mountain. I can't just let them go back for nothing, can I?"
"It's certainly a good thing to have a whole squad of knights joining us now, but how to use this power is indeed a problem. Since you, Haruki, are unwilling to deal with these knights, how about letting Sean give it a try?"
Yaohui and Zhaoyu stayed to the side to discuss countermeasures. This group of knights was not to be underestimated in terms of both status and combat strength, and could not be treated casually. If their relationship with them deteriorated, their operations in Langye Prefecture would be in big trouble.
"Wow, these knight wolves are so cool! Can I pet them?"
"Yes, as long as you don't touch its head or the collar."
In the distance, Yaohui and Zhaoyu were extremely anxious, while nearby, Ajiu, accompanied by the captain, had already snuggled up to the Knight Wolf. Ajiu buried herself completely in the Knight Wolf's body, feeling its incredibly soft and warm fur.
All the wolf knights remained relaxed, as advised by their wolf knight partners. Even in their leisurely sitting positions, the wolf knights present were nearly three meters tall, making them among the best of the humans.
With its mind clear and magical runes gleaming from its collar, the knight wolf, through the collar's magic and the wolf knight's contract, can unleash its beastly power at any time. This powerful war beast, already formidable under its power, now has a young girl carried on its back.
"Wow, the view from up here is so refreshing!" Ajiu exclaimed excitedly. This rare and wonderful scene attracted the surrounding crowd to come closer and watch.
Building friendly relations with the masses is one of the responsibilities of the Wolf Knights. It is necessary to show the Wolf Knights' leisurely side in non-crisis times. This is the wisdom that the captain heard from his previous captain. The captain has great faith in the experience of the older generation.
Ajiu and the Knight Wolf circled around in the back for a while, but Yaohui and Zhaoyu still couldn't figure out how to deal with the team of knights. Seeing Yaohui's troubled expression, Belial Twilight floated over, wanting to talk to Yaohui, but now he was more interested in knowing what this silly Yaohui was worried about.
"Huh? With such a good thing happening, what are you worrying about! You don't have even a hint of the heroic ambition of leading knights to conquer a region! Haruki, have you been infected by Zeta's idiocy? You don't even have the guts to do anything. Can't you be a little more ambitious!"
Belial seized the opportunity to berate Haruki, while also taking the opportunity to belittle Zeta, as he still harbored deep resentment towards Ultraman.
"Forget it, you're not one of those people, Haruki. Leave these knights to me. I can't explain why, but I have a feeling I'm destined to lead a force, hehehehe..."
The Belial gene secretly took effect at this moment, and the establishment of the Belial Galactic Empire in the past ignited in Belial Twilight a desire to control the army.
"If you're going to help, then help. Why do you have to belittle me all the while..."
Zeta felt wronged, but if he said it out loud, Belial Twilight would probably not let him off the hook for the next few days.
"By the way, Belial-san, what did you say you wanted to see me about?"
"Oh, someone's looking for you. I thought he was interesting, so I brought him along."
Following Belial Twilight's instructions, Haruki looked up into the distance. Upon seeing who it was, he immediately tensed up. As Luo Yi approached, he found Haruki's reaction amusing. However, Luo Yi hadn't come to cause trouble this time, so he still had to give a basic greeting.
"Hello, hero! I'm here specifically to help you fight monsters."
