"My friends have reduced the risks of warlock class change to an acceptable level. From now on, the Sage's Tower is officially open to the public!"

Ed smiled and said, "All warlocks can go to the Sage's Tower at any time to change their class."

"..."

After a deathly silence, the masters’ anger erupted completely.

"Ed, are you challenging all the masters present?!"

"No, I wouldn't dare. Ed just shared some good news."

"Ha, change jobs anytime...no conditions required?"

"There is only one condition."

Under the masters' expectant gazes, Ed spoke up: "After changing to a Rune Knight, the newly formed knight must make a knightly declaration before the symbol of the Heavenly Lord."

"A Knight's Declaration?"

"Well, let me explain the details to you seniors..."

As the masters listened to Ed's explanation of the Knight's Declaration, they all sneered.

What about upholding knightly honor, what about forever cherishing one's beast companion? This is clearly a complete declaration of a change of allegiance!

“Ed, we won’t allow you to do that.”

"The Sage Clan has no right to force anyone to take an oath!"

"Senior, we follow the principle of voluntariness."

"The principle of voluntariness? Then whether or not to swear an oath should also be voluntary!"

"...Your Excellency, what do you think?" Ed suddenly looked at Eva.

"I?"

Eva smiled and said, "I neither object nor approve."

"This is a major event that requires a vote by all the city lords."

"Whatever the final outcome, I will support it."

"..."

'As expected, the Führer is on the side of the sorcerers... no, the masters.'

Fortunately, because of her special status, she can't directly suppress me.

"That's right, we need to vote. Only voting is fair!"

“Ed, you are the city lord, so you also have the right to vote.”

"Haha, voting is the best, it's democracy."

Ed was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Seniors, I would like to add something."

"Due to technological breakthroughs, the upper limit of the warlock class that can be changed has been raised, and now all masters can also change classes!"

"what?!"

This left all the masters stunned.

"All of you seniors are top-tier warlocks. After changing classes, you can also become top-tier rune knights."

"The path of the Rune Knight is far from over, and it cannot be compared to that of a Warlock whose maximum skill level is 'Master'."

"Ed looks forward to the joining of all of you seniors. Why not work together to broaden our path?"

"..."

The city lords looked grave as they pondered Ed's words.

"A warlock has the principles of a warlock."

After a long silence, a lizardman city lord said in a deep voice, "I will not change my class. I will die with honor as a master."

“Ed, doesn’t your knighthood include the oath to ‘defend the honor of knights’? Although I didn’t swear an oath when I became a warlock, I will still defend the honor of warlocks.”

"Warlocks should not be used as stepping stones for rune knights!"

After the three city lords stated their positions, no other city lords spoke for a long while.

Upon seeing this, their hearts sank.

A smile appeared on Ed's face; the rise of rune knights was an inevitable trend. Even if there were die-hards, they would eventually be eliminated by history.

'It's almost here! My dream, our dream, is almost realized!'

......................................................................

A great transformation began within the warlock community, and in just sixty years, most of the 'warlock cities' became 'knight cities'.

First Knight Ed, the strongest rune knight, mentor to all knights, was successfully elected as the new leader with the support of knights and warriors.

The great demigodess Eva retained her status as a lifelong honorary head of state, but relinquished most of her power.

On his first day in office, Ed announced the start of the Great Unification War.

"Let us fight for world peace!"

Having rejected a city lord's offer to use the obelisk, Ed personally led 100,000 knights on a grand march towards the Grand Canyon.

"Chirp chirp?"

(Do we still need war?)

"Yes, my friend."

Ed sighed: "Sometimes, war is the only option."

"Chirp chirp..."

"Haha, it's normal for persuasion to fail. How could the Beast King surrender without a fight?"

Ed's expression turned serious: "Although I have started a war, I will never let it end in brutality."

"Chirp chirp?"

Round and plump, oh no, now I should call him the Great Sage.

The great sage looked at Ed strangely, not understanding what it meant.

"I have never forgotten my dream—to eliminate hatred and build a better future together!"

"Without the Beastmaster's involvement, how can we talk about 'co-construction'?"

"..."

"Haha, don't look at me like that, I know I'm naive."

"Now, the naive Knight Ed is going to realize his dream!"

Section 678, Chapter 677: Making Friends Through Fists

"Ow!!!!"

The lion-headed, snake-tailed monster roared in shock and rage. When it awoke, the enemy had completely surrounded the Grand Canyon.

Why is this happening? Why didn't any tribe warn the Grand Canyon?

Were they wiped out by the enemy in an instant, without even a warning signal being sent back, or...?

The Beast King suddenly felt a pang of sadness. How could the beast, which once kept warlocks crammed into a main city and dared not step out, have fallen to this state?

After thinking it over, I realized it's probably because I'm not good enough.

He has inherited the title of Beast King from his father for more than a decade and commands ten tribes, yet he has accomplished nothing of note.

They launched a disastrous war and were easily routed by the enemy.

In fact, if that knight hadn't secretly released it, it might have become the first beast king in history to be captured.

"Ow..."

No wonder the tribal leaders had no confidence in themselves and hoped that the knights would treat them well.

The Beast King lay dejectedly on the ground, utterly despondent.

"Roar!"

"Awoo!"

"Awoo?"

More and more members of the Beast King tribe, who lived in the Grand Canyon, came to the Beast King's side, hoping that their king could think of a solution.

"..."

However, the Beast King lay motionless on the ground, looking like a complete loser.

An elder, unable to bear it any longer, disregarded its rank and roared directly into the beast king's ear: "Roar!!!"

"Ow..."

(It's no use. The enemy probably outnumbers us by more than ten times. There's no way we can break through...)

"Awoo..."

(Hand me over; perhaps that will save your life...)

The elder was furious and slapped the beast king on the forehead with its paw.

"Roar!"

(asshole!)

"The Beast King's tribe is already at its wit's end, why not heed my advice?"

Eddard rode his Pegasus toward the Beast King, and all the beasts that tried to attack it were repelled by an invisible force.
