You are all my wings...

Karl pounded his chest: "No matter what kind of monster it is, it can't defeat the sword in my hand!"

He thought to himself: It is undeniable that Leon's speed, which was on par with mine, was indeed not to be underestimated. However, the time for me to prove my terrifying strength is yet to come!

His colleagues exchanged glances again. This guy had been so resistant in front of the Holy Maiden before, but now he was so obedient to her orders.

Could it really be true...?

Before the group could finish exchanging glances, Leon pointed to the other two burly knights and said:

"Mark, Milo, your mission is to attack from the flanks, one on the left and one on the right! Remember the principles of dungeon raiding: a frontal assault is the most foolish choice. Weakening and breaking through the enemy's flanks is the least risky and most sustainable method. Therefore, your attack mission is extremely important, understand?"

Mark and Milo both nodded.

Finally, the slightly thinner Bovary asked, "Your Excellency, what about me?"

"You are free to move around as much as possible and make the most of your mobility. I will give you instructions when it is critical."

"Ok."

Bovary nodded; he was the most honest-looking and the most honest-looking.

Carl thought to himself: This command is mediocre, nothing special. Let's see how it goes. If it stays this level throughout, don't blame me for taking over command.

Brelitta's eyes flickered. She felt that although Leon's arrangement was reasonable, it was nothing special. However, she knew that Leon was not ordinary, and she patiently thought about Leon's intentions.

Iris whispered in his ear, "Leon, is this enough? I think they're all a bit skeptical."

Chapter Fifty-Eight: You Should Revise the Knight's Code

Lyon smiled slightly: "There's a saying in our countryside: a good warrior doesn't achieve great feats or win by surprise. It's better to explore steadily. What do you think, Iris?"

Iris paused, pondering the phrase "A skilled warrior achieves no great feats" and found it quite philosophical.

"Thinking back on it carefully, Leon, the various instructions you gave me last time were actually in the same style. I had completely forgotten! Leon, you are not only a tactician, but you will also be a great philosopher."

When it came to this, Elizabeth made no attempt to hide her praise.

Compared to romantic relationships, she is clearly more straightforward when it comes to matters of combat.

However, the philosopher Leon could not accept this, as it had extraordinary implications in his previous life.

Then Elizabeth continued:

"Compared to you, I still have a lot to learn."

“Iris, you were just bound by Burelita’s demands and made decisions based on your own will. You instinctively felt that you needed to make them do some special training so that they would become stronger in the upcoming activities and meet Burelita’s goals. But in fact, this is a very arrogant idea, because conquering dungeons is not child’s play, it is very dangerous, and only those who survive safely are the strongest.”

"But if that's the case, why bother exploring the various side roads? I understand now! Safe exploration and testing danger are not contradictory."

As soon as Elizabeth asked the question, she understood it herself and looked enlightened.

"As expected of the incredibly intelligent Iris, her comprehension is truly remarkable."

Lyon gave a timely thumbs up.

"Although I am very smart, my knowledge is indeed not as extensive as yours."

Elizabeth puffed out her chest, acknowledging her own intelligence while also feigning humility.

"By the way, what did you talk about with Brierita just now? Did you test her? Is Brierita trustworthy or not?"

After holding back for a long time, Elizabeth finally asked the question that had been on her mind for so long.

"There are no results yet, don't rush, take it one step at a time."

The two whispered to each other for a while, then Britta coughed lightly, her face expressionless:

"Gentlemen, have you finalized your tactics?"

She even gave Lyon a way out of the stage, without specifying that the two had resumed their intimate relationship.

……

In the blink of an eye, most of the peaceful day of exploration had passed.

The seventeenth-level branch road area.

Boom!

Iris unleashed a long spear of light, piercing through the three-tiered demon in front of her and spraying out a large amount of hot blood.

Her amazing elemental magic often has the effect of delivering the decisive blow.

Lyon stepped forward to dismantle and harvest the loot.

Although it was just an ordinary Tier 3 Viper Bear, the Dietary Guide from his previous life said that the paws of a Viper Bear were quite delicious, and Leon was ready to try them.

I've heard that bear bile is good for eyesight, so I might as well give it a try.

Moreover, even if it's just an ordinary monster, it's still a Tier 3 monster, so it's worth trying out different parts to see the effects and whether it can increase attributes.

However, the knights who were determined to train hard were somewhat dissatisfied with Lyon's leisurely pace.

First of all, there's the matter of food. Even if fresh monster meat is highly effective, you can't rest until you're fully restored after each fight when your stamina and mana have only been partially depleted.

How much time will be wasted just to eat?

As warriors, they don't dislike eating; on the contrary, they love to eat, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to grow to the third rank.

However, eating certain monsters is actually quite challenging for their long-established food beliefs.

In this world, most intelligent species are reluctant to eat monster flesh, having an instinctive aversion to it.

They will only accept the meat of monsters that have undergone long evolution and have been incorporated into the culinary repertoire.

Therefore, not all monster meat can fetch a high price.

Just like in Lyon's previous life, his country allowed people to eat all kinds of animal offal, while some countries dared not eat any at all.

It depends on the species and part of the body.

It's rare to find someone like Iris who can readily accept Lyon's culinary views.

In fact, she wasn't able to swallow the red spider eggs immediately at first.

What the four knights discovered during their half-day exploration was that Leon was not averse to most monsters, and after each battle, he would carefully dismantle them and cook them using various micro-magic techniques.

The beautiful blue-haired elf even happily joined in the eating.

They can't accept it.

If it's the flesh of a powerful monster, I'll definitely take a bite.

But what are these ordinary monsters that grow in all sorts of damp and dark environments?

Not only did they harvest the spoils from the monsters' bodies, but they also ate them?

This made them very uncomfortable.

However, Leon knew from the Red-skinned Spider Egg incident that eating the flesh and eggs of ordinary monsters, as well as certain peculiar parts, could increase one's attributes.

Moreover, the fresher the food, the better its effects.

Unfortunately, these knights, who grew up in orphanages, didn't understand the value of food and were only thinking about fighting, which greatly disappointed Leon.

Surprisingly, the person most dissatisfied with him wasn't even Carl, who was suspected of being gay.

Instead, Lyon assigned Mark to play on the right side.

There is a reason for this.

During their last encounter with a powerful monster, the two had a conflict.

The side roads cover a very wide area, and Leon specifically chose areas that he remembered from his previous life or that were marked on maps as having powerful monsters.

So they soon encountered a powerful monster in the side path area on the 16th floor.

However, that encounter was a disaster, and the enemy was defeated.

Not all Moon Wolf are powerful monsters; generally, only the Wolf King is a powerful monster.

The Wolf King has two core skills.

One is a group blood surge, which can greatly enhance the combat power of the wolf pack in a short period of time.

The second is the Frozen Roar Cannon, which unleashes freezing sonic waves with a single roar. It has a fast attack speed and a strong freezing effect. If hit by it, opponents below level four can usually lose more than 20 points of health, making it an extremely powerful offensive spell.

Although wolves are generally only weak Tier 2, they can win in narrow environments like side lanes by relying on the wolf king's group blood rush and the Ice Roar Cannon skill.

Without even fighting, Lyon ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Karl, who wielded the greatsword, to cover the rear.

Surprisingly, this guy wasn't dissatisfied at all. Instead, he excitedly stood guard at the side road exit, buying time for everyone to escape.

Of course, no one knew that he was just trying to show off his bravery to Lyon, rather than actually wanting to obey Lyon's orders.

Afterwards, when Mark subtly questioned why he didn't try to tame the Howling Silver Wolves, Leon replied as follows:

"Next time you want to die, I can switch your mission with Karl's, so you can experience the terror of facing powerful monsters head-on."

Mark angrily slammed the hilt of his sword against the wall.

"Your Excellency, I respect your status and the strength you have demonstrated, but please do not insult my lofty knightly code. Why run away when you can defeat a monster?"

"So, your knightly code allows you to underestimate your opponents?"

Lyon gave him a disdainful look.

"My knightly code is to be brave in battle and never be afraid to fight!"

Mark's forehead veins bulged.

"Then it seems you could consider adding two more knightly principles: calmness and prudence, rather than blindness and arrogance."

Lyon criticized him mercilessly.

It's not about establishing any authority, but rather a genuine disdain for those who don't know how to cherish themselves.

Since they're willing to risk their lives, it means they'll die sooner or later anyway.

Why should we give him face?

"True courage is being fearless in the face of great events and willing to go even when facing thousands of enemies, not thinking that you can waste your one and only life for a trivial matter. Since you have been told to retreat, retreat properly and think carefully about why you should retreat!"

After saying that, Leon ignored Mark.

Birelita witnessed all these disputes, but never said a word.

Back to the present.

Just as Leon finished dismantling the Tier 3 Bear and was preparing to grill it,

Macla and several other knights were talking, their expressions and gestures suggesting they were preparing to incite something.

Lyon glanced at it and then went back to grilling his meat.

Iris walked over and said:

"Leon, when I ate the second-tier Jade Needle Bee pupae before, I felt like my strength increased a bit. How about you?"

"What a coincidence, me too."

Lyon looked at his own attributes.

【主要屬性：生命力46/魔力量43/體力39/力量36/敏捷47】

During this half-day of exploration, besides directing the four knights, he didn't spare any time for himself, and he kept waving his sword without stopping, just to be safe.

During breaks, I would eat while simultaneously practicing multitasking and meditating on a few intermediate-level magical images that I had just mastered. This exploration was quite carefree and peaceful.

Perhaps it was the frequent use of the sword, coupled with the second-tier Jade Needle Bee larvae I had eaten before, that caused my strength to increase by 1 point.

If it weren't for the fact that the knights' brains were clearly damaged by the Papacy's singular training methods, this exploration would have been incredibly enjoyable.

Just as the two began eating the roasted bear paw, Berylita suddenly walked over.

Leon glanced at Berylita: "Ready to mediate?"

"No, I believe you, Lyon, have your reasons for the friction between you."

Brillita smiled slightly:

"I just think this roasted bear paw looks pretty delicious, and I want to try your cooking."

Not far away, Mark's expression changed slightly.
