“Captain!”

Han Yu’s shout was very emotional. After a year and a half, he was finally able to fight alongside his Captain like before.

He was now filled with the memories of his previous battles alongside Long Haochen. Ever since coming back from seclusion, he had been fighting in this Holy War, making use of his battle technique and strength to establish himself rapidly. Although he was not yet a Mythril Foundation Knight, he was nonetheless a mid-ranked officer in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, responsible for defending a very large area.

In the eyes of the other knights, the Temple Knight Han Yu was extremely outstanding. It seemed that he stood firm after every battle he fought. However, only Han Yu knew how lonely he had felt for too long.

Since he had become a Demon Hunter, Han Yu was like a second knight on the team. He had no need to stand in the front, and only served as an important support for Long Haochen. With Long Haochen there, he was full of confidence, battling under his lead to attack the enemy together. He didn’t need to put much thought into other matters, as simply following Long Haochen’s command was sufficient.

But after joining this Holy War, thanks to his cultivation and outstanding performance, he gradually turned into a leader. He came to understand that many things needed to be taken into consideration as a leader, and that being a leader came with a lot of pressure. Having gotten used to following Long Haochen’s command, he didn’t really like these feelings. Many times, he was totally unable to display his full strength, and had to adapt to his other teammates. In times of desperate struggles, he would have an intense feeling of helplessness, thinking, _What if I had Captain to fight by my side?_

At the time Long Haochen’s seclusion finished, no one was more excited than Han Yu. It was a sincere feeling of carefree excitement. Reminiscing on the adventures they had in the Desolate Hissing Caverns, the Illusory Paradise, and the Swamps of Gloom, he thought, _Captain is finally back. He’s finally about to fight by my side again!_

Han Yu had been waiting far too long for this day. Although Long Haochen was fully concealed behind his dark gold-colored Gold Essence Foundation Armor, the sword Rippling Light in his hand could not be faked! Captain was back!

Indeed, Long Haochen was back. Having witnessed the battle’s start from afar, he came rushing as fast as he could. Besides, he had on his shoulders the huge pressure of the ten million contribution points mission, and such battles were the best way to gather them. That was why he came in such a rush.

Originally, Long Haochen was prepared to join the aerial battle on Star King’s back, as the Fiends and Hell Demons were already launching full power assaults against the Airborne Knight Regiment. However, he came to notice the brightly shining Scarlet Wildness on his way to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

Just like Han Yu had no difficulty recognizing him, how would he not recognize his own good brother? Therefore, Long Haochen renounced joining the aerial battle, recalled Star King, and landed on the ground in a flash, not only resolving Han Yu’s great struggle but also launching some powerful attacks, greatly lightening the pressure on the knights.

That myriad of golden glints came from a powerful offensive ability used by Retribution Knights, called Meteor Shower Strike, a Retribution Knight ability of the seventh step.

The single-target offensive power of this ability is not very significant, but its area of effects is very large.

Having gone through continuous trials, Long Haochen understood very clearly his own defects. Mostly, he lacked powerful large-scale offensive abilities, which was known as the universal shortcoming of knights. historical

Large-scale offenses and boosts formed up the majority of the techniques Long Haochen chose to train. The Holy War had already begun, and in the future, he couldn’t possibly keep fighting only small groups of enemies. There would certainly be much more powerful enemies, with many more battles alongside other fellow soldiers. So these two kinds of abilities were a must-have.

With regard to single-target abilities, Long Haochen had enough confidence: single-target strength was generally measured with the strongest attack a powerhouse can use as a basis. Since the sword intent in Long Haochen’s possession already exceeded the vast majority of his single-target offensive abilities in strength, he therefore preferred to focus on strengthening his comprehension of sword intent. By relying on the divine sword, Aria of the Goddess of Light, as long as his understanding towards sword intent kept rising, his single-target offensive power would keep growing. This was something no single-target ability could compare to.

With Rippling Light in hand to add Ripples of Light to a Meteor Shower Strike, the synergy of these three powerful additions to his arsenal enabled Long Haochen to clear a large amount of enemies instantly. A Demonic Bear had great defense, and so what? With Rippling Light’s doubly reinforced attack, Long Haochen’s eighth-step cultivation and the addition of the great piercing power of Ripples of Light, their defense was already insufficient.

“Han Yu.” Long Haochen opened his left hand which grabbed the knight that barely escaped calamity. Spreading both arms, he directly gave Han Yu a big hug.

The surrounding knights cheered loudly altogether. They didn’t know Long Haochen, but recognized the Gold Essence Foundation Armor on him! Having a Gold Essence Foundation Knight join the battle was not only a great help in terms of fighting strength, but also gave them a large boost in confidence and vigor.

“Captain, I can finally fight alongside you.” Han Yu’s excited body was shivering, and the two of them slapped each other’s armor, letting out a powerful tinkling sound.

Long Haochen let go of his hug, a smile on his face, “We should go and attack the enemy now. We’ll talk some more after the battle is over.”

Saying that, Long Haochen stepped forward with large strides, advancing towards the city walls. Han Yu followed closely behind, looking at his taller figure compared to before. Tears fell uncontrollably on his face. _What a familiar figure! I wish to follow him for a lifetime._

It could be seen that the demon side discovered the changes here. As the Demonic Bears kept climbing, Long Haochen stood straight above the city walls, his Gold Essence Foundation Armor giving off orange brilliant rays that were enough to dazzle one’s eye. Not turning into the focus of the battlefield would be hard in this situation.

From the sky, Long Tianying had noticed Long Haochen’s return long ago. At the time he noticed Long Haochen’s return on Star King’s back, a faint smile appeared on his face, thinking to himself, _A Starlight Unicorn King…There could surely be no better mount for him! This kid really knows how to choose._

Rapidly, Long Haochen’s battle started. The black figures of two enemies rapidly rushed to him, belonging to two Fiend Kings of the eighth step.

Demons are well aware of how strong a Foundation Armor Knight could be, particularly one that is clad in Pure Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Such a powerhouse being in town was nothing else but a mortal danger for ordinary demons. And Long Haochen’s last Meteor Shower Strike got rid of over a hundred Wolfkin Demons and Demonic Bears. The other Wolfkin Demons and Demonic Bears started to deliberately avoid his direction. Demons were certainly brave in a fight, but none of them would be willing to send himself to death for nothing.

Looking into the distance, a trace of coldness could be seen in Long Haochen’s eyes as he murmured the words, “That’s another 16,000 contribution points!”

Staying motionless, a soft golden fog started to rise around him. Without need for Long Haochen to mention anything, Han Yu joined him with an extreme coordination. The pair of golden spiritual wings he spread out looked different from before as well: they looked a third bigger than before, which was a sign their strength had risen. Meanwhile, a spheroid one meter in diameter silently appeared behind Han Yu. It had a plump figure, looking a bit ridiculous on the outside, but seeing it, the two Fiend Kings had a chill.

It was a Demonic Eye Commander. An eighth rank Demonic Eye Commander. Comparable to a human powerhouse of the seventh step, this was more importantly a rarely seen magical beast specialized in launching mental attacks. With such a magical beast to assist a Gold Essence Foundation Armor, could they have an easy fight?

But since they started to make the trip, they naturally could not come back without accomplishing anything. The goal they gave themselves wasn’t excessive, only to occupy the attention of this Gold Essence Foundation Knight.

In the air, a gaudy, dark-red area appeared where one could clearly distinguish two Fiend Commanders. Their backs were sparkling with dark-red light. Lifting up the heavy swords in their hands, they started a hacking motion at over a hundred meters distance from Long Haochen.

A concentrated dark-red glint of light instantly shot into the air. The two chops matched up completely, and didn’t grow in volume. Instead, it instantly decreased in volume, and aimed straight at Long Haochen.

_Wow? A joint attack?_ Long Haochen’s eyes wavered. He didn’t know that these Fiend Commanders were brothers and therefore had a very great compatibility. They were experts in combined attacks, which made them very famous among Fiends. The strength of the two brothers’ joint attacks were second only to the power of a Fiend King’s attack.

Facing that dark red blade, Long Haochen didn’t seem perturbed. It was obvious that this attack wasn’t aimed at killing him, but at interrupting his accumulation of power.

Demons and humans have been facing each other for so many years that they understood very well the kind of techniques used by knights.

Han Yu didn’t move, his body letting out a similar kind of golden fog, coming from the same Power Storing. Having absolute confidence in his captain, he believed that this kind of attack would absolutely not harm him.

The Demonic Eye revealed six tentacles, and they became much longer, moving around him. Be it Demonic Wolves or Demonic Bears, those encountering the tentacles would only shiver violently in response, before dropping dead.
