Chapter 220: A suicide note that changed fate ( words updated, please subscribe)

The fleet moved forward in the waves, the blood color was diluted under the sea, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

The Battle of Mirage Dragon caused many ships of the Holy Empire Fleet to suffer serious damage and dents in their hulls.

The deck of the large sailing ship was littered with debris and blood, making it look particularly desolate.

Dorothy's magic only restored the Blue Whale, but the fleet consisted of hundreds of ships.

These ships still need crews to repair them.

The sea breeze howled, making the ship's flag with the emblem of the Holy Empire flutter.

Most of the crew members were exhausted. Some were repairing the ship, some were treating their wounds, and some were staring silently into the distance with sadness in their eyes.

Even though they won the battle, they also deeply experienced the horror of the sea monster.

Many young people whose enthusiasm was ignited by Augustus' passionate preaching have now become sober and started to miss home.

A young boy named Freddy began to miss his nagging grandmother. Although Freddy survived this time, his companions were bitten to death by the shark monster, and Freddy also lost an arm. If he continued to go to the battlefield with such an injury, he would die.

Very few people can become famous in the war, and there are more ordinary people like Freddy and his hometown friends, whose bodies may even be left at sea.

"Grandma, I'm sorry."

The boy dragged his broken body, his eyes slightly red, looking at the vast ocean, feeling extremely lonely.

The sky in the distance gradually darkened, and the afterglow of dusk sprinkled on the sea, making it golden.

Seagulls circled in the sky, wailing mournfully, and the waves crashed against the boat, making a heavy sound.

After the mirage dragon was defeated, the illusion in front also disappeared.

Although the Holy Empire Fleet was only facing the vanguard of the Azure Dragon Court this time, it still lost a lot of soldiers.

If Li En hadn't joined, they might have lost even more people.

As for those high-ranking knights, they did not think that Li En's behavior was heroic, but thought that he should spend his energy on the real war that was to come.

If they were to expend their energy at this time just to save some guards, it would undoubtedly be a meaningless waste for them.

So when Li En was supported by the majority of the navy, the high-ranking knights also showed disdainful expressions.

Even so, the navy who made contributions and sacrifices in the battle will still be rewarded.

The battle report was written by a civilian clerk in the navy. After review by the commander-in-chief of the battle, Tina, Li En's position was promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant, making him the only noble second lieutenant to be promoted in this battle.

Originally, such a promotion appointment would take at least a month to get the result, but Earl Hall was on the Blue Whale. He skipped the cumbersome process and created an opportunity for rapid promotion for the young people who fought bravely in the war. This was also to encourage others so that they could fight with confidence.

In the main captain's room, in addition to the three earls, there were two lieutenant generals and three major generals.

The major general has counted all the battle losses. A total of 5 ships sank, 34 people died, 297 people were seriously injured, and 1654 people were slightly injured. This number is not serious for the 10 expeditionary force, but how to deal with these 297 people became a problem.

"Just like slaves, use them as bait."

Count Yar Frank said lightly that he did not think it was a difficult choice and did not understand why Count Hall was hesitating.

Lieutenant General Tina and Major General Cheryl House both frowned. They did not agree with this approach.

This undoubtedly sent a signal to the ordinary guards that if they were injured on the battlefield, they might be abandoned by their companions and even suffer the same fate as slaves.

"I don't agree."

Lord Sam Isaacson said as he stroked the jeweled ring on his finger.

Count Yar Frank looked at Count Sam Isaacson and said coldly, "The supply on Golden Island failed. The current fleet's food supply is not enough to support so many people. Reducing the burden as much as possible is also responsible for the army."

"Yes, you are right. I do not agree with you treating them as slaves, but I agree that we should save food for the army and maximize its interests."

Lord Sam Isaacson said slowly.

"Then do you have any good suggestions?"

Count Yair Frank asked.

"Promise them that their names will be recorded, and they will receive the title of honorary non-commissioned officers after their death. Their families will receive a generous pension, so they will voluntarily become glorious bait. This will at least distinguish them from slaves and make them feel grateful to the Holy Empire, so they won't feel abandoned."

Lord Sam Isaacson said.

Except for Lieutenant General Matthis, all the lieutenant generals and major generals present had unhappy expressions when they heard these words.

They have seen through the true colors of those in power. It is natural for soldiers to die in battle and return home to receive honors. However, they use this to lure the seriously injured to give up their lives and sacrifice themselves for the country.

But they also knew that this was real war.

Tina looked at Earl Hall, who had remained silent.

On the Blue Whale, Earl Hall is the final say.

Of course Tina also knew that Earl Hall was not a kind man.

A kind-hearted person could not have reached his current position through great military achievements.

"With all due respect, my lords, there are only about two hundred seriously wounded. Our clergy can fully heal their wounds and allow them to continue fighting. If two hundred were sacrificed in a single battle, we would undoubtedly face countless battles, both large and small, against the Azure Dragon Court. Their constant abandonment of our companions would ultimately leave us isolated and helpless."

Cheryl House said in a hoarse voice.

Although she was only a major general, she was the oldest among the participants and was qualified to speak.

"Cheryl, you're wrong. His Majesty the Emperor is prepared for a protracted war. Supporting troops will continue to arrive along the new route. We'll have supplies in less than three months at the latest. But if we want to survive these three months, we must understand the importance of sacrifice. We haven't abandoned our companions; we're simply doing our best to protect those who are healthy."

Lieutenant General Mattis agreed with Sam Isaacson's opinion. He believed in the law of the jungle and that the weak did not deserve the same treatment as the strong. It was only natural for the weak to give up resources and serve the strong. Only in this way could the balance of war tilt towards humanity.

"Call Li En."

Earl Hall said lightly.

"Yes!"

An officer left the captain's room to look for Li En.

"Although Li En is a talented person, his current position is only a lieutenant and he is not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting."

Maj. Gen. Cheryl House said.

Earl Al Frank and Earl Sam Isaacson agreed with Cheryl, but neither of them was willing to step forward and deny Earl Hall.

Because they also wanted to recruit this new upstart of the empire.

Even though they knew that Li En was from Auguras, couldn't they recruit the Emperor's people? As long as they paid enough benefits, they believed that Li En would be moved and favor them.

By making friends with such a promising person, the two earls were also thinking about their descendants.

"His performance in this battle is evident to all. His military achievements alone surpass those of the three great knightly orders. I simply feel that his reward is too stingy and will demotivate young men."

Earl Hall said lightly.

"Do you want to promote him further?"

Tina asked curiously.

Earl Hall shook his head and said, "I want to give him a chance."

Soon, Li En arrived at this "highest decision-making meeting room".

Li En pretended that he still couldn't see, skipping a lot of formalities and simply greeting Earl Hall.

"Good evening, my Lord."

Earl Hall nodded slightly. "Li En, you performed very well in this battle, demonstrating the strength of a five-star Glory Knight. Do you have any complaints about being promoted to lieutenant?"

"No."

Li En said honestly that he was not here to achieve great things. Even if he gained nothing on the battlefield, he could go back and continue to be the lord of Green Shade Territory.

"It's my duty to help the empire, even if I don't get promoted."

Li En's indifference drew the attention of everyone present. In Earl Hall's opinion, this guy was just being fearless and wanted to return to inherit Grand Duke Moria's family business.

Earl Hall would not allow this to happen, because once Li En became the heir of the Moria family, he would be destined to be unable to inherit the Hall family business.

It would be best for Li En to have his own military achievements, as this would give him one more option and stop him from always thinking about relying on his parents.

He also wanted Li En to repeat his old path, and finally willingly marry into Dorothy's family and live a happy life.

"Even if you don't want anything, the Empire cannot mistreat its young people. I now give you two choices. First, join the Order of the Rose. Second, I will give you 297 people and you can form your own order."

When Earl Al Frank and Earl Sam Isaacson heard what Earl Hall said, they immediately became unwilling.

This old fellow has no moral principles. Why would he suddenly want to recruit Li En into his own Knights?

"Given the relationship between Li En and His Majesty the Emperor, Li En should join my Knights of Flame."

Count Yair Frank coughed and said.

"The Pioneer Knights are more suitable for young people."

Although the Pioneer Knights were a ragtag group of knights gathered together in response to calls from multiple counties, and were not considered Earl Sam Isaacson's direct line, they were now under the name of Earl Sam Isaacson and were the only military force he could muster.

Faced with the olive branches extended by the three earls, Li En naturally chose Earl Hall.

"I would like to form a knight order of my own."

Li En's answer surprised everyone present.

You should know that the treatment of these three knightly orders is higher than that of all other officers.

Whether it's food, equipment, or treatment, members of the Knights Templar will generally be given priority.

Tina, Cheryl, and Matisse also belong to the Order of the Rose, which is Earl Hall's direct armed force. They cannot understand why Li En rejected Earl Hall's proposal and wanted to form a knight order on his own.

The new Knights do not have these benefits.

Moreover, those more than 200 people were all seriously injured.

"I must tell you, those 297 are soldiers who were seriously injured in this battle. Although they possess courage, they are unlucky. Even if you use healing magic, you can't regenerate their severed limbs. They will become a burden to you."

Lord Hall said.

"That's okay, let me take care of them. I understand the pain of people with disabilities."

Li En smiled and pointed to his eyes.

Earl Hall narrowed his eyes, not knowing what Li En was thinking. There were at least three good choices on the scene, but he chose the worst one.

If these disabled people became members of his Knights Templar, not only would they not be able to help him, but would also become a burden.

This guy doesn't want to achieve anything at all, right?
Li En was thinking about how to avoid being sent to the front battlefield. His purpose of going to the Blue Dragon Court was to find Catherine and retrieve his lost memories. Originally, he wanted to apply for Major General Cheryl's current nanny job, responsible for taking care of Parker and other noble lieutenants, but now it seems that it is not necessary. With more than 200 wounded waiting for his care, he has enough reason not to go to the front battlefield.

In addition, given his bravery in the previous Mirage Dragon Battle, no one would think that he was not going because he was afraid of fighting, and his reputation would not be damaged.

With his own group of disabled knights, he gained great flexibility in maneuvering.

"Leen Moriah, you have a bright future. You are different from those disabled people. Although you are blind, you are still a child of destiny, while they are just ordinary soldiers. Think carefully."

Count Yar Frank advised, "Join the Order of the Flame Knights, and you will be able to unleash your abilities."

"Yes, actually, for these two hundred people, our idea is to give up. You can't ruin your future because of them."

Earl Sam Isaacson walked up to Li En and patted him on the shoulder. "Come and explore the Knights. If you want to lead a team, I can give you a 200-man elite knight."

Tina, Mattis and other naval officers were all a little envious of Li En at this moment.

These three earls are so optimistic about him, and he is only 18 years old and has a bright future.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to establish the Knights on my own. I don't want to abandon anyone."

Li En found a high-sounding excuse to reject the earls' kindness.

“I don’t want to give up on anyone.”

Tina and Cheryl looked at each other and suddenly felt that Li En was indeed a true hero as the rumors said.

"Kindness is good, but this is war."

The Yar Frank family has never been kind, and he only thinks this is a manifestation of weakness, but he likes to get along with kind people, so he changed his words and said to Li En in a more euphemistic way.

"Yes, Lieutenant Li En, if you had realized this earlier, you might not have been sent to the Supreme Court at all."

Lord Sam Isaacson said.

Li En just smiled and said nothing, but left a good impression on Cheryl and others.

It is precisely because they have experienced countless wars and the kindness in their hearts has long been erased that the character displayed by Li En is so precious.

"Well, you can go out."

Lord Hall waved his hand.

Li En said goodbye to many senior executives and left the captain's room.

The next day, Li En obtained three large sailing ships. There were a total of 300 people on board, including sailors and crew members. There were originally 297 disabled people, but only 250 people came. 47 people did not survive the night and died in the hospital beds. In order to prevent the outbreak of plague on the ship, their bodies were directly thrown into the sea.

Among these 250 people is Freddy, the boy with the one-armed boy.

Li En also officially left the Blue Whale and came to the sailboat to meet his new members of the Knights.

Everyone on the Gar was lifeless. They had not expected that they would be assigned to a new order of knights after becoming disabled.

Perhaps this order of knights was meant to charge or serve as bait.

Many people no longer have any hope for their own fate, as they have seen the tragic deaths of their companions at night.

They were a little surprised when Li En appeared in front of them.

Li En's fame has spread in the fleet, and even the lowest-level crew members know him, Li En Moria, a rising star of the empire.

"It's Master Li En, Master Li En Moriah."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Freddy's dark eyes. He remembered when his grandmother was seeing him off at the dock, almost everyone despised her because of her remarks, but only Li En stepped forward and helped his grandmother up when she fell.

He didn't expect Li En to save him, but if Li En was there, he might be able to give Li En the suicide note he wrote to his grandmother and ask Li En to help take it back.

Freddy has no friends anymore, all his friends are dead, and he doesn't know if anyone else can survive.

But after witnessing the shocking scene of Li En killing the giant octopus sea monster, Freddy felt that Lord Li En Moriah would definitely survive.

"Lord Li En, why are you here on this ship?"

"Does Lord Li En want us to die with him?"

The wounded were talking about it.

They had already heard from the veterans that this war was extraordinary. If it was a war on the southern continent, they, the wounded on the front line, might be sent back to their hometowns and retire with honor. However, this was the Forbidden Sea, the fish in the sea were inedible, and the supplies brought by the army were precious, and no waste was allowed. If they wanted to send them back, they had to use the Knights, and they were not the High Priest of Fia, so they had no right to be sent back.

Either return triumphantly with the army or die at sea; this was their fate.

Therefore, even after being reorganized into a new order of knights, after seeing the wounded all around them, they naturally felt that this was an order of knights destined to be abandoned, or that it would be more appropriate to describe it as a suicide squad.

Nina Owen covered her mouth and nose because the smell on these disabled people was really bad. They were already injured, and no one would take the initiative to give them a bath. Plus, they were all men, so the smell was naturally unpleasant.

Although the maid was very beautiful, her behavior undoubtedly hurt the already fragile hearts of these soldiers.

So much so that the gazes that were originally directed at her quickly dodged away.

They were like beggars meeting a noble lady, subconsciously not daring to look any further.

Li En's sense of smell is several times sharper than Nina Owen's, but he did not show any disgust.

When he saw them, he truly realized the cruelty of war to ordinary people, especially extraordinary war.

"Daffodil, put your hands down."

Li En said coldly.

Although Nina Owen was reluctant, she still took down her hands that were covering her mouth and nose, which made Freddy and others feel respected.

"Good morning everyone, I'm Lee En Moriah, the leader of this knight order. I just decided on a name for the order, Dawn."

Li En stood in front of everyone and said softly, "Welcome to the Knights of Dawn."

The aristocratic young man with short golden hair seemed to be radiating light under the caress of the sun.

Freddy looked on in a trance, as did the other soldiers.

But they knew that even if they were called the Knights of the Dawn, it would not change their cruel situation.

There was not enough food and medicine on the Gal, and they might starve to death or die of disease before they could even charge.

Just like now, they are still hungry and didn't get the breakfast they should have.

Unlike the soldiers' mess on the Blue Whale, daily supplies on other ships are limited.

First, the important nobles, knights, and captains enjoyed it, then the healthy soldiers and crew members, and finally the wounded.

Lee En knew this in advance, so even though he didn't need food himself, he asked Nina Owen to bring enough bread.

Nina Owen distributed two soft breads and a bottle of milk to each person. Although she didn't like doing this, it was the master's order.

She found herself becoming more and more like a disgusting good person.

When will the Evil God finally realize his true nature as an evil god? When will he do something truly earth-shattering and evil to make himself feel more involved?

While Nina Owen was performing her "charity," she silently prayed. The soldiers who received the bread and milk all showed expressions of surprise. Aside from the first few days of their journey, when their diet was relatively good, as the voyage progressed, even when they were healthy, they could only get a dry piece of bread and a glass of water for breakfast.

Especially when they saw that there was a luxurious piece of ham in the bread, the soldiers were so moved that they almost cried.

Many people have already started to eat voraciously.

"Delicious, so delicious."

"Thank you, Lord Li En Moriah."

But some people still chose to put the bread and milk aside, endured their hunger, and continued to listen to Li En.

They felt that it was impolite to dine in front of their leader, especially since the other party was a noble from the Moria family.

The nobles are most particular about etiquette.

"Don't worry about me. You can eat and listen to me. I'm blind and can't see what you're doing."

Li En said lightly.

The soldiers then put their worries aside, took out the bread in their arms and started to eat it.

Freddy was thinking that after Lee En finished his speech, he would ask him to help keep the suicide note. A noble aristocrat like Lee En Moriah would definitely help him send the suicide note back.

Nina Owen finally finished distributing the bread and stood beside Li En with dissatisfaction. As the Duke of Giles, she had never served so many ants.

That's right, Nina Owen felt that delivering bread to them was already serving them.

Knowing that Li En had already recovered his sight, Nina Owen forced a smile.

"Great Master, the mission you assigned me is completed."

Li En said a faint "yes" and continued with today's group leader's speech.

"I know many of you may think you've been abandoned, and that's actually true. Veterans know that when war supplies are scarce, most of the disabled are the first group to be abandoned."

After hearing what Li En said, many people couldn't eat. Although they knew that this was the truth, it was still hard to accept when it was revealed so nakedly.

"So, you're here to give us our last meal?"

Young Freddy mustered up his courage and asked with red eyes.

"Has the Empire truly abandoned us?"

Li En looked at Freddy and remembered the boy hiding on the dock.

He was bewitched by Augustus' words and deceived his family to join the army alone. Like Parker, he came to the sea full of enthusiasm.

However, he was not as lucky as Parker. Parker was not only a three-star Glory Knight, but also had his brother by his side.

The young man lost an arm and his face no longer had the youthful vigor it once had.

Instead of answering Freddy's question, he asked, "What do you have in your hand?"

"Yes, it's a suicide note."

Freddy bit his lip, took out the suicide note, and handed it to Li En. "I originally wanted to give it to you after your speech, but since you asked, I'll give it to you in advance. I hope you can take this suicide note back to my grandmother. She lives at No. 32, Did Block."

Seeing Freddy's bold behavior, many soldiers silently reached into their arms and took out the suicide note.

"If Lord Li En is willing to help, could you please deliver it to me as well? My wife lives at No. 65, Montella Street."

"Master Li En, and mine, my mother lives at number 90, Little Daisy Street."

"Lord Li En, there's also mine."...

Li En received 97 suicide notes in a row. When everyone was looking at him expectantly, Li En tore up the notes without hesitation.

"Lord Li En!"

The guards couldn't believe that Li En actually tore up the suicide note. This was their last wish.

Even if you don't want to help them, there's no need to tear them apart in front of them, right?

The young boy Freddy was so aggrieved that he almost cried, but what Li En said next shocked everyone.

Li En originally didn't want to treat this group of people, because their continued injuries would be the best reason for him not to go to the main battlefield on the front line.

Until I saw these suicide notes.

For some reason, this brought back memories of his past life and made him inexplicably miss home.

If I were my former self, I would be so helpless on the battlefield, right? Because I am just an ordinary person, and the life of an ordinary person is so fragile.

"I just want to ask you now, do you want to live or die here?"

Li En asked with a serious expression.

"Live...live."

As one soldier spoke, more disabled people expressed their desire to survive.

"So, how much are you willing to pay to survive?"

Li En continued to ask.

"The price? What else can we pay?"

They asked in confusion.

At this moment, Nina Owen finally didn't feel bored anymore. Her eyes were shining and she looked at this group of tiny humans who could be manipulated by Li En with great enthusiasm.

She realized that they would become the new believers of the Evil God.

Almost without hesitation, Nina Owen pulled all the injured people into the dream world.

Unsurprisingly, since they were severely injured and had been kicked out of the realm of psychic protection, they could be dragged into the dream world by themselves.

Li En voluntarily entered the dream world.

In the dream, what Li En said would not be heard by other people with ulterior motives.

The soldiers did not realize they were dreaming because the surrounding environment had not changed at all.

"Give up your human identity and become my blood servant."

Vampires can transform humans into their offspring, as well as blood servants.

Li En didn't want to have so many offspring, so he gave them the option of becoming blood servants.

Although he has mastered more advanced healing techniques that can completely regenerate their broken limbs and restore their health and physical integrity, this cannot change the fact that they are still ordinary people. Once on the battlefield, they will still face death.

However, blood servants can give them strength, and their physical speed, strength and agility will be improved. They also have a certain self-healing ability. Even if their self-healing ability is not as strong as that of vampires, it is enough to survive when facing low-level sea monsters.

"What? Lord Li En, what are you talking about?"

The soldiers thought Li En was joking.

Li En took out Enzo and handed it to Nina Owen, asking her to cooperate with him in demonstrating it once.

Nina Owen picked up Enzo excitedly, her face flushed. "Is it really okay, Master?"

Li En's mouth twitched. "Don't think of anything weird. Cut it."

"I understand, Master."

Nina Owen quickly and neatly used Enzo to cut off one of Li En's arms.

Amidst everyone's screams of terror, the arm grew out again.

Li En twisted his new arm and said to the dumbfounded guards, "This is how I will heal you. Of course, I won't force you to become my blood servants. I'm just giving you a chance."

"I am willing!"

A soldier with his lower body amputated raised his hand without hesitation.

As he took the initiative to sign up, more and more people raised their hands, "I do too!!!"

As long as I can survive, what does it matter if I give up my human identity?

And the one they will follow in the future is Li En Moria, the new upstart of the empire.

Only by gaining the ability to regenerate and extraordinary strength can one truly survive on the battlefield, and almost no one can resist this temptation.

Li En took out a dagger and cut his palm.

Nina Owen immediately stepped forward and collected the precious blood in a special container.

Each wounded soldier was given a drop of blood, including young Freddy.

A blood servant is equivalent to a vampire that has not been fully transformed. The disadvantage is that it can never be promoted like a vampire, and can only be beaten if it encounters a real vampire.

But there is also an advantage, that is, they still retain their fertility and can reproduce offspring, but their offspring will also be marked and become blood slaves.

In other words, once you become a blood slave, your descendants will always be blood slaves.

And Li En, the converter, is their only master.

If Li En dies, these blood servants will die with him.

Therefore, their fate is basically tied to Li En, and they have no choice but to be absolutely loyal.

Of course, Li En didn't think so much about it. He just wanted to give them a chance to be reborn on a whim.

Nina Owen caused everyone who received blood to exit the dream.

They swallowed the blood and completed the transformation.

Even if Li En didn't say it, they knew that they had to keep this matter absolutely confidential.

Otherwise, Li En would most likely be sent to the Inquisition again.

As Li En's blood was absorbed into their bodies, a new force took control of their bodies and gradually repaired the missing parts. The soldiers experienced the joy of regenerating their broken limbs and also gained control of new power.

"I...I...I, my arm has grown back."

Freddy looked at his new arm in disbelief. It was even stronger than before.

“My legs are growing back too!”

"Look, my hand! My hand is back!"

The crowd cheered excitedly.

They hugged each other, cried tears of joy, and then all knelt before Li En and swore allegiance.

Li En's blood servants quickly grew from more than 90 to , including crew members and sailors on the ship.

I couldn't have any unnecessary people on board, could I? After all, everyone had listened to my speech and voluntarily chosen to join.

Afterwards, Li En decided to stay on the Gal. Although the environment here was completely incomparable to the Blue Whale, he did not want to be monitored by Earl Hall and felt more comfortable staying in his own territory.

Dorothy originally wanted to follow Li En, but was stopped by her father, Earl Hall.

This is also the reason why Dorothy sneaked onto the Blue Whale at the beginning and didn't want to be discovered by Earl Hall.

After being discovered by her father, she lost most of her freedom.

"Dorothy, I know you can heal the wounded and help Lee En get a completely healthy knight team, but I hope you won't do that. This is his own choice, and you need to use your magic on more important things. Can you build a portal that only humans can travel through?"

Lord Hall looked at Dorothy.

Although he really didn't want his daughter to get involved in the war, since she was here, he had to let her do some things that she could do.

Because in addition to being a father, he is also a military leader.

He needs to be responsible for this huge army and for the war.

Dorothy nodded slightly, "Dad, I can do it, but I have to stay with Li En."

Earl Hall frowned. Although he didn't know why his daughter insisted on staying with Li En, he believed that Dorothy had her own reasons and it was impossible that she was just in love.

This may be related to the fact that Dorothy had clearly lost control on the Golden Island, but was able to come back alive with Li En.

Could it be that Li En possesses a gift that can solve the problem of the witch's loss of control?

If that were the case, then Dorothy would have to marry Lee En.

"Okay, if you can build the portal within three days, you can go find Li En."

Lord Hall compromised.

After the Mirage Dragon Battle, the human army occupied this floating island.

These floating islands are not large in area, but if integrated together, they are large enough for humans to build a temporary base for ships to dock and rest.

There are many talented people gathered on the Blue Whale, including 20 magic architects. Their main task is to build magic towers after the army captures strategic locations. But now, Earl Hall decided to activate them in advance and let them integrate this floating island into a small island first, and let Dorothy set up a portal here, turning it into a sea base for attacking the Azure Dragon Court.

"Okay, Dad."

Dorothy nodded and agreed that she would develop a portal that only allowed humans to travel through it as quickly as possible.

During this period, she could no longer go to see Li En.

The fire demon Cruz can help her deliver blood to Li En on time.

After Fia left, Dorothy took on the responsibility of feeding Li En alone.

She didn't mind Li En drinking other people's blood, but she felt that her blood containing magic power would be better for Li En's body.

The news that Li En rejected the invitation of the three earls soon spread throughout the Holy Empire Fleet.

When the people from the three major knightly orders learned that Li En had rejected the earls' invitation, established the Knights of Dawn on his own, and absorbed all the seriously injured patients into it, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

This has also become a hot topic on the Blue Whale recently. Since the army was resting, they did not immediately march towards the Blue Dragon Court, so they had free time to discuss this matter.

"Is there something wrong with Lee En Moriah's brain?"

"Who knows? It's fine if he doesn't stay with the Knights. He was reportedly marked for killing a mermaid. Dying with that bunch of rubbish would be considered a contribution to the Empire."

"Haha, I thought he was a smart guy, but he turned out to be a fool."

The knights were discussing in the officers' mess. They felt sorry for the beautiful maid beside Li En, who had to follow him to die.

During this period, because Li En and Dorothy were too close, many knights were dissatisfied.

Dorothy is the dream lover of most men in the empire. Even in Earl Hall's direct troops, the Rose Knights, there are many people who have a crush on Dorothy.

Dorothy's attitude towards Li En made them so envious that their eyes turned red.

In addition, Li En's popularity in the Mirage Dragon Battle even overshadowed Tina who defeated the Mirage Dragon, which made them even more unhappy.

After hearing that he refused to join the three major knightly orders, this dissatisfaction reached its peak.

The three major knightly orders were the ones that others were vying for to join, and his attitude was simply arrogant.

When they heard that he had formed a new order of knights and that the members were basically old, weak, sick and disabled, the knights could no longer sit still and had to gather together to laugh at this guy who was full of talent but not very smart.

"Let's make a bet. I bet he and that group of people won't make it to the carnival."

The Holy Empire's Carnival is held on January 1st of each year, which is also the Imperial New Year.

"You're too conservative. You might not even make it through November, let alone Carnival."

"Haha, drink, drink."

"We're about to go to war, aren't we told not to drink?"

"Don't be silly, that's for ordinary people. We knights can drink as much as we want."

Just as everyone was happily preparing to open champagne to celebrate Lee En Moriah's self-destructive future in advance, a four-star knight hurried into the officers' restaurant.

"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

Everyone looked at the four-star knight in surprise.

"Those more than 200 soldiers were all cured."

The four-star knight found a random place to sit down, picked up a glass of water, and drank it with a gulp.

"Healed? Are you saying that Li En Moriah asked a certain priest to heal the injuries of those ordinary people?"

The knights asked curiously. They really wanted to know which priest had the guts to help Lee En Moria despite the Archbishop's objection.

"No, there was no priest helping Li En. He did it himself."

"Himself? How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. Have you forgotten that he is a Silver Follower? He has mastered advanced healing techniques." An officer reminded.

"No, it's not that level of healing. Advanced healing techniques can only restore a person's physical condition, but cannot regenerate severed limbs."

The four-star knight explained that he did not believe the rumor when he first heard it, until he went to the Gall and saw that the soldiers with broken arms and legs were still training intact.

And their physical condition has obviously become much better than before.

"Regeneration of severed limbs? How is this possible? Could it be that the Bishop himself is helping?"
