Saint Moon stared wide-eyed at Long Haochen, “Little brat, when did you become so cunning? No way, I’m a little worried about entrusting my granddaughter to you. — –“

With this trump card played, Long Haochen immediately became obedient, smiling wryly, “Grand Ancestor, you can’t do this!”

Saint Moon said smugly, “What? Is it so difficult for you to stay in Devil Descending Pass and accompany Cai’er?” Saying this, he glanced at his great-granddaughter in front of him, and his gaze softened as well.

For more than a year, Saint Moon had been teaching Cai’er, and he had grown increasingly fond of his great-granddaughter. With less of the previous distance, Cai’er was becoming more and more attached to him, and a genuine bond of grandfather and granddaughter had developed. This was something Saint Moon had never imagined before. He seemed to be making things difficult for Long Haochen at this moment, but in reality, he was truly reluctant to let his great-granddaughter leave! Although he knew that daughters should eventually marry, even one more day would be good.

Long Haochen clearly saw Saint Moon’s gaze. He had originally planned to argue, but immediately changed his words, “Grand Ancestor, how about this then? Our time is indeed very pressing. Moreover, after today’s battle, the situation on Devil Descending Pass should be relatively stable. Let’s stay here for a month. I don’t want any merit points for this month, I’ll definitely do my best to help Devil Descending Pass deal with the demons, how about that?”

Long Haochen spoke very sincerely, and Saint Moon’s previous emotions also subsided, gently nodding his head, saying, “I knew I couldn’t keep you. In fact, everything you did for Devil Descending Pass today is worth a million merit points.”

In fact, it was exactly like that. Divine Blessing had almost increased the fighting power of the entire Devil Descending Pass by more than one-third, and that was a conservative estimate. Moreover, it greatly weakened the demons.

Saint Moon said, “Let’s go, both of you come out with me, it’s too unsafe to stay here, let’s go to a public place, at least I can guarantee my great-granddaughter’s safety.”

Cai’er immediately stomped her foot, complaining嬌嗔, “Grand Ancestor, why are you doing this again? I hate it, I hate it…”

However, the two still followed Saint Moon out of the quiet room. Saint Moon ordered someone to arrange accommodation for Long Haochen, to stay with Han Yu. Obviously, he was really a little wary of Long Haochen and Cai’er developing too close a relationship.

In the following days, the demons outside Devil Descending Pass were surprisingly quiet, with the demons showing signs of ceasing hostilities. Among the eight Demon God Pillars, except for the Flame Lion Demon God Pillar that had already lost its master, the other seven were constantly flashing with light, as if they were wary of human attacks.

In reality, the demons were very justified in being so wary of Devil Descending Pass. Long Haochen’s super-scale forbidden spell had scared them enough. What they feared most was Long Haochen doing something like that during their attack. At that time, the seven Demon Gods would have no ability to protect the entire army. Of course, they didn’t know that, for Long Haochen, Divine Blessing was only a one-time deal. To ask him to repeat it, he would probably have to wait until his spiritual power exceeded 200,000.

“Grandfather, the situation inside the pass is currently good, I’ve already organized manpower to start repairing the city walls. It’s rare for the demons to be so quiet. With this period of buffer, the defensive power of our Devil Descending Pass can at least be restored by more than 30%.”

After Saint Moon, Saint Spiritual Heart and his wife, as well as Long Haochen, Han Yu, and Cai’er, had dinner together, Saint Spiritual Heart reported the situation of Devil Descending Pass to Saint Moon.

Now they both knew that the Mythic Armored Knight was Long Haochen. In order to conceal his true identity, Long Haochen wore the Mythic Armored Knight armor every day, without revealing his true face.

While Saint Spiritual Heart was talking to Saint Moon, his gaze would often drift towards his prospective son-in-law. When he learned that the Mythic Armored Knight was Long Haochen, that incredulity lasted for several hours without disappearing.

How long had it been? When Long Haochen led his Demon Hunt Squad to Devil Descending Pass for a trial mission, he was still so weak, and needed his protection to fight. But now, his cultivation had clearly surpassed his own. Although Saint Spiritual Heart had finally broken through to the eighth rank, the age gap was a whole generation! Saint Spiritual Heart was also a proud person. He admired Long Xingyu wholeheartedly, but he didn’t expect that even Long Haochen’s cultivation had already surpassed him.

Saint Moon nodded slightly and asked, “How is the army reorganization going?”

Saint Spiritual Heart replied, “The situation is very good, all the originally lightly wounded have returned to the team, and the seriously wounded have basically become lightly wounded. Except for the disabled, the vast majority of soldiers have returned to their original formations. They continue to recover from their injuries while preparing for battle.”

Saint Moon nodded and said, “Those whose injuries haven’t fully healed shouldn’t participate in fortifying the city defenses.”

“Yes,” Saint Spiritual Heart hurriedly replied. Although he was the military chief of Devil Descending Pass, the real master inside Devil Descending Pass was Saint Moon. Saint Spiritual Heart’s prestige was far from enough to mobilize those ninth-rank heroes, even the Heroic Assassin Hall composed of eighth-rank assassins was beyond his command. He needed Shadow Follows the Wind to lead them personally.

Saint Moon turned his gaze to Long Haochen, a smile appearing on his face, “Our Holy Knight Commander, do you have any good suggestions?”

Long Haochen smiled wryly, “Grand Ancestor, you’re teasing me again. In front of you and Uncle Saint, how could I have any say?”

Saint Moon’s face straightened, and he said, “Haochen, you’re wrong about that. In private, you are our junior. However, no matter what, you must not forget your identity as the Holy Knight Commander. You represent the Knight Temple. In many cases, toughness is a must, otherwise, you will be losing not your own face, but the face of the Knight Temple, do you understand?”

Long Haochen’s heart was awe-struck, and he respectfully replied, “Yes.”

Saint Moon said in a deep voice, “Although you are still young, the contributions you have made to the Alliance are not small at all. Forget your own age, you must quickly bring yourself into the identity of the Holy Knight Commander. Otherwise, your grandfather’s purpose in having you go to the various temples for liaison will be of no use. Your strength is already sufficient, what you need now is the majesty and strength that a Holy Knight Commander should have. Understand?”

Long Haochen nodded again.

Saint Moon sighed softly, “If possible, I wouldn’t want you to shoulder such a heavy burden so early. However, since you have already taken it up, you can no longer put it down. It can be said that you are the fuse of this Holy War. Although the Holy War was going to happen sooner or later, the Alliance can protect you, but it’s not because you are my Saint Moon’s great-grandson-in-law, nor is it because you are the grandson of Long Tianyin. It’s because of your own strength, because you have the ability to destroy the Demon God Pillars.”

“My words are very direct, even unkind, and even unpleasant to hear. But this is the most fundamental fact. If it weren’t for your own abilities, even if the final result was the same, I don’t know how many twists and turns we would have to go through in the middle, it would never have been such a smooth one-time pass. Therefore, you must strive to be worthy, you are already an eighth-rank Holy Knight. A Holy Knight of your age is unprecedented in the history of the Alliance. We all believe that the future you will surely become a leader of the generation, a true leader of the Alliance. Therefore, no matter when, you must use the strictest way to demand yourself. I don’t want to hear those words just now again. Okay, tell me your thoughts.”

Saint Moon spoke sternly, but his words undoubtedly awakened Long Haochen. He was doing this to help Long Haochen change his own judgment of himself. He was no longer a lone ranger, but the Holy Knight Commander representing the Knight Temple. He was already a top figure in the entire Temple Alliance.

Long Haochen was silent for a moment, then said, “Grand Ancestor, Uncle Saint. I do have an idea, but it’s just because it’s a bit radical that I didn’t say it.”

Saint Spiritual Heart’s eyes lit up and he said, “Tell me about it.” In terms of governance, he was originally a representative of the radical faction of the Assassin Temple. If it hadn’t been for Saint Moon suppressing him all the time, his direction of command would have changed long ago. As soon as Long Haochen said the word radical, he immediately aroused the interest of his father-in-law.

Long Haochen nodded and said, “I think that Devil Descending Pass suffered such great losses, in addition to the difference in strength, the most important point is that the advantages of the Assassin Temple were not brought into play.”

After saying this, he paused and looked at the reactions of Saint Moon and Saint Spiritual Heart, grandfather and grandson.

Saint Moon was slightly stunned, while Saint Spiritual Heart’s eyes lit up even more, and he nodded slightly, “Continue.”

Long Haochen said, “The advantage of the Assassin Temple lies in attack, not defense. Assassins defending on the city walls are a complete waste of talent. It’s like letting a group of mages go to the battlefield to charge. Devil Descending Pass certainly needs to be defended, but I think it can be changed from passive defense to active defense. And offense is the best defense.”

“I also saw that day that there are more than a dozen heroic-level senior assassins in our Devil Descending Pass. With such power, even directly fighting the eight Demon Gods wouldn’t suffer too much, let alone the fact that there is now one less Demon God. If we can disrupt the demon camp with harassment and assassination, then when they attack our Devil Descending Pass again, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced. At the same time, assassination, sneak attacks, lurking, these are what assassins are good at! Why don’t we bring all these advantages into play? Simply passively defending can only become more and more passive. Different professions should use different methods to deal with enemies.”

“Well said,” Saint Spiritual Heart clapped his thigh and said excitedly, “Haochen, you and I thought of the same thing.”

“Hmph,” Saint Moon snorted angrily from the side, interrupting the excited Saint Spiritual Heart.

Saint Spiritual Heart turned back to look at his grandfather somewhat awkwardly, smiling wryly, “Grandfather, I’m not saying that your decision was wrong.”
