Chapter 1602: Chapter 924: The True Identity of the White Knight_2 Chapter 1602: Chapter 924: The True Identity of the White Knight_2 After all, this would be a shocking battle involving more than a million soldiers, unlike the previous limited number of legions.
As a result, the role of commander-in-chief, who leads multiple legions, became extremely crucial.
Only a commander-in-chief with extensive combat experience could lead the various legions under his command to better execute his orders when the general direction has been determined.
âI plan to divide the 60 legions this time into four parts.â
âThe current 10 legions are under Asherâs command, the upcoming 20 Northern legions are to be led by the White Knight, the various surrendered legions are commanded by Burt, and the new recruit legions are under Joshuaâs command.â
âIn other words, even though there are as many as 60 legions under my command, I only need to give orders to Asher, White Knight, Joshua, and Burt. This will undoubtedly make things much easier.â
Thinking of this in his heart, Leo Ray brought his thoughts back to reality and nodded to the White Knight, âBy the way, take all these things as a small reward from me.â
After saying that, Leo Ray waved lightly, and the prepared pure white Tier 5 knight equipment, as well as the Tier 5 penetration ring, appeared in front of the White Knight along with a metal equipment display table.
âThis, this isâŠ?!â
Looking at the fascinating Tier 5 equipment in front of him, the White Knightâs ever-calm voice began to tremble.
For a thousand years, since losing everything in that national annihilation war, he had never seen Tier 5 equipment that matched his title and had to use this set of backup equipment until now.
Today, with Lordâs casual move, the Apocalyptic Knight of the Loren Kingdom has finally regained his true power!
âI am deeply grateful to you, My Lord!â
With trembling in his heart, the White Knight quickly knelt on the ground and lowered his head to Leo Ray.
âYou donât have to be so polite. This set of knight armor was personally selected by me, and the fully enclosed helmet can cover everything, just like the one youâre wearing.â
Leo Ray helped the White Knight up and smiled, âHurry up and put these on. I want to have a good drink with you at the celebration feast.â
âPlease wait a moment, My Lord.â
The White Knight carefully put away the equipment and stepped forward solemnly, âMy Lord, I have one more thing to report.â
âOh?â
Hearing the seriousness in the White Knightâs words, curiosity appeared on Leo Rayâs face as he continued to listen.
âMy Lord, I am ashamed to say that as your subordinate, I have not shown you my true face. This is my rudeness and my fault.â
As the White Knight spoke, he placed his gauntlets on his helmet and continued, âAnd now, I am going to reveal everything to you. Please be prepared.â
After speaking, the White Knight unbuckled the metal clasps on his helmet and neck armor, raised both hands, and slowly removed his helmet.
Seeing this scene, not only did Leo Ray hold his breath, but Ariel, Sarah, and other main subordinates, as well as the commanders like Hodgson and Benson, also showed a mixture of curiosity and solemnity on their faces.
It is known that the White Knightâs mystery went hand in hand with his fame.
It was said that only His Majesty King Ironarm had seen the White Knightâs true face in this world.
As the white battle helmet slowly left the White Knightâs head, an unexpectedly bizarre face appeared before Leo Ray and the others.
For a moment, there was dead silence in the room.
All eyes filled with astonishment were focused on the White Knightâs undoubtedly revealed face.
âWhite Knight, is this why you donât want to show your true face to people?â
Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath, his eyes growing more serious.
It was a chillingly pale face with almost no blood color and emitted a deep blue mysterious glow.
The source of the light came from the thick layer of deep blue crystals on the cheeks.
These smooth, crystal-like deep blue crystals occupied at least half of the White Knightâs cheeks and had already merged with the skin.On the pale skin not covered by the crystal, the crisscrossing deep blue veins were clearly visible, like a web of tangled roots.
The most striking feature was the eyes of the White Knight.
These eyes have completely crystallized, with the whites being deep blue and the pupils pure white, looking soulless and extremely bizarre.
In short, the visage of the White Knight had become almost inhuman, contrasting sharply with that of normal people, causing quite a shock.
âFortunately, the White Knight is not our enemy, otherwise, our subordinates would have drawn their weapons by now, right?â
Leo Ray keenly sensed the presence of Taylor and Jiang Li beside him, unconsciously mobilizing the energy within his body to be on guard, as he thought in his heart.
But soon, the strange face of the White Knight attracted Leoâs attention again.
Under the reflection of the crystal tassel chandelier, the mysterious crystal that emanated a faint blue light on the pale face of the White Knight seemed to have become even more profound.
âWait, this strange appearance seems somewhat familiar.â
Leo apparently realized something and began to search for the answer in his mind.
At this moment, Scarlett, who was hiding behind Leo, stuttered with wide eyes, âThisâŠis this a Parasitic Blood Crystal?â
Hearing Scarlettâs words, Leo Ray suddenly realized the truth.
No wonder it seemed familiar. Although the appearance of the Lord of Magnet City at his secluded residence in Magnet Town was a bit more ferocious and fierce, it was quite similar.
âThe Parasitic Blood Crystal is a red crystal, so the color does not match.â
Sarah Shawnâs pale face was full of surprise, obviously not expecting that the true face of the White Knight would look like this.
âMost importantly, the target infested with the Parasitic Blood Crystal will have their lifespans greatly reduced, which is completely different from the situation of the White Knight.â
Gideon Black pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose and nodded thoughtfully.
âIndeed, but whatâs going on here?â
Scarlett hid behind Leo Rayâs shoulder, only showing half of her head, and cautiously said, âCould this thing actually split and spread to other people?â
âDonât worry, after a thousand years of verification, this blue crystal can only grow on me, like an irresistible curse.â
The White Knight tried to make a smile, but his face was too rigid, so he just grinned slightly.
Leo, on the other hand, listened to the White Knightâs words with a gentle expression.
âI apologize, my Lord, for showing you such an unpleasant sight.â
The White Knight put his helmet back on and bowed to Leo Ray, âThis is my true face and the reason I do not want to reveal it, because it brings discomfort to others.â
âIt doesnât matter, appearances canât represent oneâs true heart. Even if your appearance is unusual, it cannot hide that righteous and dignified heart of a knight.â
Leo waved his hand gently, and then asked curiously, âWhat exactly happened here?â
âTo answer you, my Lord, we must go back to the war that destroyed the kingdom a thousand years ago.â
The voice of the White Knight gradually steadied, apparently lost in memories.
âA thousand years ago, when the Allianceâs strong invaded Loren Royal City, the city was already a boiling sea of fire.â
âIn the streets and alleys ravaged by flames and thick smoke, despite my hard-fought resistance along with His Majesty and others, we repelled the enemy countless times. However, due to the vast difference in numbers, our exhausted forces soon retreated, falling back to the heavily guarded palace.â
âHowever, under the guidance of the traitor Black Knight, the strong men of the Alliance broke into the palace through the secret escape tunnel, and the final battle ensued.â
When the White Knight said this, his voice began to tremble.
âIn that doomed fight, flames melted the gold, corpses were strewn across the ground, and the smoke still rose, attracting countless crows to circle in the sky and scream their song of death.â
âI donât know how much time passed before I blocked a fatal sword for His Majesty. Just when I thought everything was over, I turned into what I am today.â
