The gazes of all the High Knights toward Long Haochen had changed. Besides curiosity, there was now more respect, the respect for a strong individual. Although they didn’t know how Long Haochen had achieved it, how could being able to do this be anything ordinary?

The old man surnamed He, who had spoken earlier, slowly stood up and saluted Long Haochen with a fist over his chest. “I, He Jun, Vice殿主 of the Knight’s Sacred殿, Divine Knight, apologize for the earlier questioning. You have spread the glory of the Knights across the land. The position of Holy Knight Commander is well deserved.”

Long Haochen hurriedly returned the salute and said in a deep voice, “For the glory of the Knights.”

Almost all the knights present repeated the sentence with him, “For the glory of the Knights.”

This was the first time that someone from the Knight’s Sacred殿 had destroyed a Demon God Pillar. This achievement was unparalleled within the圣殿联盟. As knights, how could they not feel that glory?

He Jun nodded to Long Haochen and then turned to Long Tianyin, “殿主, since Adamantine No. 12 has made such a great contribution, I think, should we remove the word ‘Acting’ and also add the title of Vice殿主?”

What is a Divine Knight? It’s a ninth-tier knight who hasn’t been recognized by the God Sealing Throne. This Divine Knight, He Jun, is also the Vice殿主 of the Knight’s Sacred殿.

Long Tianyin shook his head and said, “No need. The alliance will not forget his merits, and neither will our Knight’s Sacred殿. As for his future position, we’ll talk about it after he’s recognized by the God Sealing Throne. He’s still too young now. It’s not appropriate to hold too high a position.”

Long Tianyin’s words once again brought a strong shock to the senior generals.

What does it mean to wait until he is recognized by the God Sealing Throne? That is to say, the owner of the Throne of Order and Law, the Knight of Order and Constraint, Long Tianyin, has already determined that this Adamantine No. 12 will definitely gain the favor of the God Sealing Throne and become the fourth Divine Knight in the current Knight’s Sacred殿.

This isn’t just a simple statement. Even with Long Tianyin’s status, such words would never be spoken lightly. He would never say that without absolute certainty. What’s more, there’s the added sentence, “He’s still too young”? What is too young? To what extent is he young?

Long Haochen himself didn’t expect that his grandfather would introduce him like this, without revealing his identity, but immediately pushing him to the forefront within the Knight’s Sacred殿.

After a brief period of discomfort, Long Haochen understood his grandfather’s meaning. Long Tianyin’s purpose in doing this was simple: to build momentum for him, to build momentum for his future.

Both Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan had expressed that he was destined to take over the position of 殿主 of the Knight’s Sacred殿 in the future. And the current Long Haochen hasn’t held any position with real significance in the Knight’s Sacred殿. In that case, even if he becomes a Divine Knight in the future, the degree of recognition within the Knight’s Sacred殿 will be very limited. The two Divine Knights are trying to cultivate his greater understanding of the Knight’s Sacred殿 and gain more recognition from these high-level members. The purpose of having him temporarily act as Holy Knight Commander is the same, to build momentum for his future succession.

He Jun frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, “殿主, may I ask, how old is Adamantine No. 12? Is he younger than殿主 Xingyu was when he took the position?”

Long Tianyin was silent for a moment, then said, “Everyone will know the day he becomes a Divine Knight. It must be kept secret for now. What I just said must also be kept secret. Alright, let’s begin today’s meeting.”

After a series of momentum-building exercises, Long Haochen officially became the Acting Holy Knight Commander from this moment on. It also meant that he had a place of his own among the high-level members of the Knight’s Sacred殿.

Long Tianyin pointed to an empty seat at his lower left and gestured to Long Haochen.

At this time, Long Haochen naturally couldn’t decline and had to take a seat. Han Yu naturally followed and stood behind Long Haochen, instead of staying behind Long Tianyin. Don’t forget, he is Long Haochen’s esquire knight. And this made everyone present even more curious about Long Haochen’s identity. Some even thought, could this really be Holy Knight Commander Han Qian? Otherwise, why would Han Qian’s grandson, a seventh-tier temple knight, follow him instead of standing behind 殿主 Long Tianyin, who had just announced that he was qualified to participate in the military conference?

The highest-level military conference of the 御龙关 began. The generals had a clear division of labor, and detailed battlefield statistics had been compiled. These included the number of casualties on our side, estimates of casualties on the enemy’s side, the enemy’s current troop deployments, and a series of detailed data.

At this time, Long Haochen was just an observer, but he understood why his grandfather wanted to bring him here, so he listened very carefully. With his amazing memory, he only needed to pay a little attention to memorize all the data in his heart.

In the previous great battle, the losses of the Knight’s Sacred殿 weren’t that great. There were many injured, but the number of seriously injured and dead was small. This was also due to the Knight’s Sacred殿’s own tactics. Because this was a protracted war, after a large number of combat casualties at the beginning of the Holy War, the Knight’s Sacred殿 attached great importance to treatment. Injured soldiers would immediately be replaced and receive treatment instead of fighting to the death. After all, although the total strength of the Knight’s Sacred殿 can’t be compared with the 魔族, the number of guarding soldiers needed for the 御龙关 is not too high, no more than 20,000. Cyclical combat, minimizing casualties as much as possible, was the most fundamental strategy formulated by Long Tianyin. From the current point of view, the Knight’s Sacred殿 has been able to persist for so long, and it is inseparable from this strategy.

Of course, such a strategy has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the morale of the soldiers is not high, and it is difficult to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. They can only be in a passive position.

After listening to the summary statistics, Long Tianyin said in a deep voice, “According to our reconnaissance, the 魔族’s food has reached a critical point. Today’s battle was both to continue to weaken our strength and to ‘manufacture’ food for themselves. But they didn’t expect the situation to change. As a result, they retreated without getting food supplies. Therefore, I estimate that after the 魔族 makes adjustments, they will soon launch another attack. So everyone must be vigilant and continue to do a good job in defense.”

“There are still about twenty-three legions that the 魔族 have reorganized outside the pass. But they are all quite powerful. Especially to this day, the three 神皇 legions have not moved and have always been a huge threat to us. Because of the pressure they bring, we can only adopt a passive defense strategy. And now, as one rises and the other falls, the 魔族’s strength is constantly weakening due to environmental constraints, and our tactics should also be changed. From the original passive defense to a combination of offense and defense.”

Hearing Long Tianyin say this, surprisingly, the expressions of all the generals of the Knight’s Sacred殿 became excited. Not one of them objected, and they looked as if they were eager to give it a try.

It’s no wonder they would be like this. They’ve been suppressed in the 御龙关 for a whole year and a half! They’ve always been on the defensive. The 魔族 can attack whenever they want, but the Knight’s Sacred殿 hasn’t even launched a counterattack under Long Tianyin’s command.

Today’s battle was not only a victory for the Knight’s Sacred殿 but also ignited the fighting spirit in the knights’ hearts. They were already a little restless. When Long Tianyin said that he wanted to change the strategy, they naturally felt a strong sense of excitement.

Vice殿主 He Jun said, “殿主, I agree with a combination of offense and defense, but we still need to consider it carefully and be careful. After all, guarding the 御龙关 is the most important thing for us.”

Although Long Tianyin’s passive defense plan made the pro-war Knight’s Sacred殿 generals disagree, who would dare to oppose him given his position in the Knight’s Sacred殿? And He Jun himself was his strongest supporter.

After a year and a half, facts have proved that Long Tianyin’s strategy is correct. Although the generals and soldiers of the 御龙关 were suppressed and very aggrieved, the number of casualties of the Knight’s Sacred殿 has always been kept within a safe range. And the number of casualties of the 魔族 is constantly increasing. Especially after they cut off food supplies and had to rely on eating corpses as food, the losses were even greater. The harsh environment is also playing an increasingly large role in weakening them.

Long Tianyin nodded and said, “I have an idea, let’s discuss it. With our current situation, as long as Samikina doesn’t mobilize the three 神皇 legions, our defense will not have any problems. Even if he mobilizes them, if we fight to the death, the two sides are more likely to end up in mutual destruction. Just as Brother He said, even if we want to attack the enemy, we must ensure that we can hold the 御龙关. At the same time, we must avoid casualties as much as possible. Therefore, I suggest that the attack should be a blitzkrieg, with the most elite knights ambushing the enemy, striking and retreating, effectively killing the enemy, and also better ensuring their own safety, thereby containing the 魔族 and further weakening their strength.”

He Jun nodded, “I agree with 殿主’s suggestion. It is impossible to mobilize a large number of troops to fight the 魔族 head-on. That is equivalent to giving up our own advantages. But it is very advisable to use elite small troops to ambush the 魔族.”

Long Tianyin said, “Everyone can express their opinions freely. Any good ideas can be put forward and discussed.”

The following process was not a discussion of ideas, but a climax of requests to fight.

Almost all the generals expressed their willingness to lead elite troops to ambush the 魔族 and inflict heavy damage on the enemy. The atmosphere of the entire meeting also became unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

Strategies and tactics were gradually perfected and formulated. But the real executors can only be a small number of people. And among these executors are Long Haochen and Han Yu.
