Chapter 1332: Chapter 1332: Order Knight (Large Chapter, Seeking Monthly Votes)
“The Order Knights of K from the Western Lands have been deployed,”
In the dim shadows, a figure pushed open the office door. He turned on the tablet he was holding and projected the video onto the large screen in the office, “This is the video sent by our people.”
A blurry image appeared on the large screen, with a red hang-up button displayed, seemingly a ‘screen recording’ of a video call.
The screen showed a sowhat dim scene that seed to be a basent.
The person holding the cara was clearly not a professional, nor did they have any professional equipnt, with the entire fra supported by violent shaking.
However, it was barely discernible that the crowd in the picture was filling up the hall.
These people huddled together, forming a huge circle, and within this circle, there was a partially exposed, crimson, and complex pattern.
The people surrounding the pattern hung their heads low, seemingly reciting so kind of raving-like words.
The person with the phone seed to have a rather low status, being squeezed at the back of the crowd, unable to clearly see the pattern’s form.
He glanced left and right, noticing those around him all bowing their heads in recitation, then raised his phone, pointing the cara toward the pattern surrounded at the center.
As the cara passed over a man’s half-bald head ahead, a crimson array, as if tracing countless stars, appeared in everyone’s field of view.
The array’s colors were so bizarre, it was as if it were drawn with fresh blood.
The person holding the phone seed to want to let those on the other end of the video connection see the specific form of the array, quickly panning the cara left and right.
“Ah!!!”
Just then, in the fra, a slightly short and plump long-haired man wearing a tal necklace suddenly raised his hands and shouted.
This shout startled the person with the phone, almost making him lose his grip on the device.
The entire video fra quickly fell, landing in the shooter’s arms, turning pitch black.
“Praise you, great Savior.”
“You co from the endless heavens…”
The noisy chanting voice ca through within the dark shaking fra.
Among them, the shooter’s voice seed to be mixed in.
At this mont, the shooter seed to realize he hadn’t been noticed, and that earlier scare was self-inflicted.
In the repeated ‘chants,’ the pitch-black fra began to shake slightly again, as if the cara was being pulled out.
A large, dark ‘plastic zipper tooth’ appeared in the fra, occupying the entire bottom left corner of the picture.
Seemingly frightened by the recent occurrence, this ti the shooter didn’t directly expose the cara, instead hiding it in his clothes.
This significantly limited the cara angle.
Most of the fra was obscured by the figures in front, only through the gaps between them could the red pattern on the ground ahead be seen.
“Praise you, great Savior.”
And through these gaps, part of the figure opposing them, seemingly the Ritual Holder, the long-haired, short, and plump man, was faintly visible.
At that mont, he once again raised his hands high and shouted with excitent in his trembling voice, “You are the savior of the world, the angel of the apocalypse, we are willing to prostrate at Your feet, begging for Your forgiveness.”
As he spoke, so commotion seed to arise from the left side of the crowd.
The shooter imdiately turned the cara towards the left.
Through the gaps in the crowd, it was faintly visible that a few teenagers, tied up and appearing to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, were brought up.
An impressively strong man with tattoos led these teenagers to the center of the red pattern.
“We piously pray to You,” at this ti, the Ritual Holder was still raising his hands, “offering You a delightful sacrifice, may You enjoy our praises, may Your grace be carried out upon the earth…”
As he spoke, a few n in black robes ca forward, each pulling a sharp knife with a bloodletting groove from their sleeves, approaching the teenagers bound in the center of the pattern.
“We piously pray to You…”
The surrounding people bowed their heads, whether because they didn’t want to witness the scene below or to demonstrate their piety, they lowered their heads and began to chant.
The shooter took this opportunity to squeeze a bit forward, allowing the cara to more clearly capture the scene at the center of the crowd.
The teenagers were visibly terrified by the scene in front of them, with so sobbing mixed into the noisy chants.
“Pah—”
However, not everyone was completely frightened. A thin, tall teenager spat directly at a black-robed man coming with a sharp knife, “You lunatics.”
He struggled vigorously, attempting to escape, but was grabbed by the strong tattooed man from behind.
And the spit seed to land right on the cheek of a knife-wielding man at the front.
The cara didn’t capture the expression of the knife-wielding man, only showing him wiping his face, then speeding up as he approached the teenager.
“…offering You a delightful sacrifice…”
The surrounding noisy chants continued, and the knife-wielding people got closer and closer to the teenagers.
The one leading the way has already raised his slaughter knife.
BOOM—
At that instant, a blast like an explosion suddenly erupted from the left side of the crowd, followed by the subtle sound of a smoke bomb exploding, filling the entire basent with dense smoke.
The shooter imdiately turned the cara to the left.
Beams of infrared light shot out from the smoke, accompanied by a fierce roar, “World Tree Inspection, everyone, hands on your heads, squat down, do you hear? Everyone! Put your hands on your heads and squat down imdiately.”
Along with this voice, those erging from the smoke were figures clad in camouflaged combat suits, wearing bulletproof helts and night-vision goggles, grenade and magazine vests on their chests, tactical belts on their waists, carrying submachine guns.
The cold muzzles were so persuasive that upon seeing those warriors erging from the smoke, the initially dazed crowd imdiately crouched down with their hands on their heads.
The video shooter also crouched down at this mont.
However, several individuals in the center of the array seed oblivious to the words, standing in the smoke without fear, holding their sharp knives as they charged towards the ard figures.
The strong tattooed man was at the forefront.
Bang, bang, bang—
At that mont, crisp sounds echoed in the air.
The figures at the front unhesitatingly opened fire, turning the oncoming individuals into sieves.
BOOM—
With a loud bang, the strong tattooed man fell backward, and the remaining figures were also shot through.
But behind those figures, the tied-up, still sowhat bewildered teenagers were not hard.
Evidently, the leader’s marksmanship was exceptional.
By now, other ‘warriors’ had stepped forward, beginning to untie the ropes around the teenagers.
“You henchn of the Evil God!”
At that mont, the long-haired Ritual Holder suddenly sprang from the crowd, erupting with speed far beyond his physique, rushing towards the ard leader.
The array on the ground glowed, and at this mont, everyone squatting on the ground seed to shiver erratically, and the video’s fra also appeared slightly distorted.
As if so invisible force was invading, affecting the charging Ritual Holder.
The caraman clearly felt that chill too, his hand trembling, but he still tried to focus the cara on the center of the crowd.
“Hahaha, foolish believers of the Evil God! This is the Savior’s Grace! The great Savior will soon descend upon this world and wipe you ignorant ones out completely!!”
The Ritual Holder seed to gain so powerful blessing, and an expression of devotion and madness appeared on his face. Beneath his short, chubby body, so sort of twisted flesh seed to writhe.
He sped up, moving so fast that the cara couldn’t capture his shadow.
Yet, the ‘leader’ standing in the middle of the crowd was not flustered. He simply stood there, slightly opening his mouth, and his clear and calm voice reverberated in the eerie dark space,
“In the na of K.”
At this mont, the caraman paused slightly, as if he had seen sothing unbelievable.
And in the blurry footage, brilliant and holy light suddenly tore through the void above everyone’s heads, descending upon the leader.
And before anyone could react, the illusion in the sky paused slightly.
The short, chubby body of the Ritual Holder revealed itself from the blurred footage, with his head already separated from his body, falling to the left and right.
His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen sothing inconceivable, and thick blood gushed from his body.
The video shooter imdiately moved backward, trying to evade.
However, he dodged in vain; the twisted flesh and blood did not follow the rules of physics and fall to the ground but quickly decayed and vanished as if they had never existed.
At this point, the leader in the center raised his hand, slipping the blood-stained dagger back into the tactical belt at his waist.
No one saw when he drew the blade, and the blurry footage didn’t capture any scene.
And the surrounding team mbers seed accustod to it; they moved quickly among the crowd, recording information of each ‘participant.’
At this ti, one of the team mbers had already approached the leader, picked up a docunt, and quickly said to the leader,
“Core mbers verified, a total of eleven people, all here. The leader is a Transcendent criminal wanted by the World Tree; we don’t know when he hid in the nearby area.
“Among the remaining ten people, there are two professional killers; one was dealt with during our assault, another was shot dead during the recent resistance.
“The other eight are nearby gang mbers, with blood debts on their hands; six were killed, and two survived.”
After completing the report, the team mber gestured a salute to the leader before turning back to continue counting.
At that mont, the leader seed to sense sothing, suddenly turning his head towards the cara.
A hand in a tactical glove reached out from the side, covered the lens, and took away the phone.
The entire image went black, and the video ended.
Outside the fra, the room under the shadow was briefly silent.
“The power of the Order Knight is stronger than we estimated. The ‘leader’s’ brief burst of strength just now probably reached D-level, and they attained ‘Grace’ without holding a ritual.”
A voice in the shadow said.
“Play the video backward.” Another voice suddenly spoke.
The person operating the screen imdiately lifted the tablet and reversed the video.
“Stop! Right there, go a bit further forward.” The voice called out once the playback started.
Eventually, the fra halted at the mont when the ‘leader’ turned his head.
“Zoom in, look at his neck.” The voice continued.
The image was enlarged, focusing on the ‘leader’s’ cheek.
Through the blurry footage, traces of patterns could be vaguely seen on the ‘leader’s’ neck.
“Did they draw the Ritual Array directly on their bodies?” a voice exclaid from the shadow.
“This ‘K’s’ Grace certainly looks slick, makes one think he’s the Savior and Righteous God,” soone said indignantly.
“Just a fraud; many of our Savior’s servant rituals have been thwarted by these Order Knights,” another voice from the crowd said, “They gain Grace more easily than us, the World Tree is truly decayed, allowing believers of the Evil God to hinder our efforts to save the world.”
“Don’t forget, the actual power of the World Tree is in that Central Earth kid nad He Ao’s hands, and that kid is likely K’s lackey.” Another voice chid in.
“The World Tree’s B-level is also extrely foolish, handing over power to a kid from Central Earth and allowing him to act recklessly,” soone in the shadow couldn’t help but say.
The entire scene quieted for a mont.
“If they deploy Order Knights worldwide against the Savior’s servants, it will greatly impede our efforts to save the world.” a voice said.
“They won’t; Moonlight’s Jie An is smart, he doesn’t trust us, nor does he trust that ‘K,'” a shadowy figure responded, “The presence of Order Knights will only be in the Western Lands and Central Earth.”
“How are things in Central Earth? The Research Institute’s ‘Wu Ganglie’ deputy director seems to be one of our Saviors too?” soone asked.
“That ‘He Ao’ launched a raid, the specifics are unclear, but Wu Ganglie and his subordinates seem to be imprisoned, and now the Research Institute is also under He Ao’s control,” soone in the shadow said coldly, “The Central Earth B-level are all fools.”
“That He Ao is too difficult,” another shadowy figure responded, “Our plans are suppressed to such an extent, largely because of him, he reacted almost instantly, controlling the entire situation.”
“This cunning and terrifying monster of the Evil God,” a sigh ca from the crowd, “Will the whole world be dood at his hands?”
“Where is he now? Can we go directly to take him out?” soone whispered.
“He’s said to still be in Beidu, orders keep coming from there.” soone replied.
“Take him out? He’s received many benefits from that Evil God, he appears only eighteen or nineteen, an eighteen-year-old B-level,” soone in the crowd sneered, “Among those present, who reached B-level at eighteen? Let alone having real achievents in hand.”
“Perhaps he’s just an old monster wearing a young skin.” soone quietly said.
“Whether an old monster or a young genius, his strength is indeed suffocating; doesn’t he have any weaknesses?”
“If worst cos to worst, we’ll risk it, seek enough Grace from the Savior; if the power is strong enough, coordinated well, even B-levels can be killed, not to ntion there are…
“It’s not impossible.”
“Alright, who’s taking the lead?”
The bustling crowd fell silent for a mont.
“No rush,”
A hoarse, deep voice suddenly sounded from the shadow, along with this voice, everyone’s gaze turned to the center of the room.
“The Savior is more than just us; what’s erging now is only the earliest batch,” the hoarse voice continued, “The power of the three organizations will soon be stretched to the limit.”
“That ‘He Ao’ will likely make other moves…” soone whispered.
“No rush,” the hoarse voice sounded again, “He won’t stay long, he’ll soon be leaving.”
“Leaving?” soone in the crowd exclaid, “Leaving under these circumstances?”
“He will leave, this is the Savior’s revelation,” the hoarse voice slowly said, “What we need to do is rely wait, wait for him to ‘leave,’ then the situation will be entirely in our hands.”
The crowd under the shadow fell silent.
Soone attempted to rewind the video again, searching for more details.
The footage returned to the mont the light of Grace descended.
The dim light illuminated the people within the fra, suppressing the shadows outside the fra.
——
Inside the Velora
He Ao opened the carriage door, his gaze swept through the carriage, looking at Ye Ying, who sat upright behind the dining table.
