Chapter 220 - The Start Of The Fourth Era

Roland was the chief commander of the southern region for the Temple of Light. He had command over all the Temple Knights in the southern region.

That was to say, all the Temples of Light, messengers, Temple Knights, and clerics in the southern region were under his control He was also in command of the Temple Knights who were stationed in the middle of the large continent.

When the Darkness invasion of the nine continents happened,

Many people were very concerned.

The southeastern region was a desolate place, and it could not be compared to other small areas in the Legendary continent. Hence, there was little attention placed on it.

But disregarding the warning message in the magic transmission scroll, Lancelot had led a legion to participate in the war.

The situation was immediately picked up by the leaders of the Temple of Light in charge of the southern region.

But the most interesting fact was that the southeastern region was not like the rest of the regions.

Black Lava Dukedom had constructed five military fortresses to defend against the City of Dawn. But everyone knew that a neutral Lord would never send troops to attack a Human nation.

The structure of the five fortresses was not built to defend against intelligent creatures.

The City of Dawn was even more intriguing.

There were many different defensive tactics.

And many surprises.

Many warriors had upgraded to the Advanced in a short time, and they exhibited extraordinary endowments and strong combat power.

Many powerful forces started closely watching the situation.

Then, with the start of the counterattack,

The silver-backed monkeys had appeared together with the Orcs and warriors of the Black Lava Dukedom. All tribes in the southeastern region commenced their counterattacks on the dark army.

The Temple Knights had also participated in the counterattack, and immediately, a Temple Observer reported the situation to the leaders.

The report was sent over to the highest level of the temple administration. Lancelot had broken the rules by sending the Temple Knights to attack the dark creatures.

This attracted the attention of the bored chief commander of the southern region, Roland Fecker.

Besides the Temple of Light, other powerful forces were also aware of the successful counterattack in the southeastern region.

The spies of the powerful forces were well hidden in the southeastern region, so they had not been discovered.

Their conduct was unlike Roland, who arrived in such a way that made everyone aware of his presence.

Lancelot deployed the Temple Knights in the battle against the dark creatures. Hence, Roland had to prominently announce his arrival.

Roland felt that the dark creatures had to be defeated. But Lancelot’s action reneged on the orders of the Temple of Light after all. He had to be punished.

Roland demoted Lancelot to become the commander of the southeastern region.

Lancelot had left the center of power, and he was sent far away from his subordinates.

He had also left the place of power struggle.

Besides…

The Temple Knights who were once Lancelot’s subordinates would gradually return to him.

William gazed deeply at Roland. He was curious about the background of Lancelot.

Lancelot told William that he was from the northeast.

How could the BOSS of the southern region take care of Lancelot, who was from the northeast?

A group of second-generation Temple Knights followed Lancelot’s lead. This situation could not be possible, not unless their parents had allowed Lancelot to be their leader.

What was Lancelot’s background?

In his previous life, William had not managed to figure out Lancelot’s background even until the day he perished.

But he knew.

Somebody had been taking care of Lancelot. Even the main characters of the current version paled in comparison to Lancelot.

The Darkness invasion would happen again.

The Legendary continent was very huge. Wherever there was Darkness, Lancelot would be there to give hope. There were many legends about Lancelot on the continent.

But, Lancelot suffered a horrendous death in the final version.

A terrible death.

The Devil Lord had cut Lancelot into eight pieces and chained his soul to River Styx. Lancelot had to endure days and nights of being chewed on and the rotting of his flesh in the Dark World.

It was a pity.

It was not known if Lancelot survived, but William definitely did not.

He perished in the gaming capsule…

So, William could not know if Lancelot revived later or not.

William did not know if Lancelot became an evil BOSS or a good BOSS.

Roland gave a few orders and stopped talking. He looked deeply at William before he flew off into the deep interior of the continent.

After all, Roland knew that it was William who organized the counterattack. Even though Roland was unhappy, he had a feeling he could not lay a finger on William.

It was because William’s face was stained with blood. His body armor was shredded. And the look of reverence from William made Roland weak. He was not able to lay a finger on William…

“MD, I’m such a failure.” Roland cursed. Then he transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished into the sky in a loud boom.

Lancelot was still in a daze.

Yeee!

Was the punishment over?

Had Lancelot become the commander of the southeastern region?

Was this a demotion or a promotion?

No matter what it was, Lancelot had survived a crisis.

When the leaders of the Temple of Light had gotten over their anger, Lancelot would be able to lead the Temple Knights once again.

Why did Roland and William talk so much? All while neglecting Lancelot.

Lancelot was supposed to be the culprit.

William sat on the ground and heavily panted after Roland was out of sight.

“It’s a close shave. But it’s not that close.” William knew that he was the one who led the southeastern region to victory.

And that after a month, he would be the only victor in the nine continents.

The leaders of the Legendary continent would definitely send someone to check on him.

But he was not afraid.

It was because William had a certain background.

He considered that the person who would come would be, at most, an Epic professional.

A true Legendary warrior did not have time or would not be bothered with William.

But William had not expected Roland Fecker to check on him.

If it was only an ordinary Epic professional, William would not be bothered with him. When the person would arrive, William would give him surprises.

William also had Epic professionals to help him so that he would not be at the losing end.

But everything that happened was out of William’s expectation.

The person came too early.

The war had not really ended yet.

Especially when it was Roland…

A guy who was as shameless as William…

But he was quite powerful.

At the minimum, Roland did not betray the Light faction.

At the minimum, he did not condemn life.

At the minimum, he used his life to protect the southern region…

Hence, it was appropriate to call him a Guardian.

William was right.

But the title was given prematurely.

“What? You’re collapsing the moment Lord Roland left?” Lancelot glanced at William.

William wanted to rebuke, but he could not be bothered.

He just lay down on the barren ground and slowly closed his eyes. He only wanted to sleep.

A very good sleep.

Using the Life Potion to recover his energy was a waste.

At this moment, many of the Advanced professionals who fought right at the start of the war lay down on the ground and observed the blue sky.

They went into a deep slumber in the warm sunlight.

The war had not ended.

The war of the fourth era had just started.
