Chapter 396 The Knight's Oath

Goblin Knight Mu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

He could clearly feel the sharp gaze of the little king Ye Yan falling on him, as if he wanted to penetrate his armor and look directly into his soul.

Subconsciously, he swallowed, trying to calm the tension inside.

But the fear welling up from the bottom of my heart surged like a tide and could not be suppressed.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and every second seemed to be stretched into eternity.

Goblin Knight Mu's heartbeat accelerated, almost to the point of stopping.

He half-knelt in front of Ye Yan, his head lowered, not daring to look at Ye Yan.

"You have changed."

Ye Yan's voice was cold and calm, without any emotion.

He stared at the Goblin Knight curtain and slowly uttered these three words.

Goblin Knight opened his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and then continued:

"I don't know. Maybe, I changed the moment I woke up and saw that the lair I had been living in was razed to the ground, the general I had been following died in battle, and his subordinates were killed by the adventurers."

His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep sense of helplessness and grief.

"Then you didn't kill the adventurers? They destroyed your lair and killed your general."

Ye Yan's tone remained calm.

"kill?"

Goblin Knight Mu smiled bitterly, raised his head and looked at Ye Yan:

"Of course I killed. From the moment I walked out of the lair, the sword in my hand never stopped."

Speaking of this, a trace of madness, pain and struggle flashed in his eyes.

"But when I came to my senses, I was surrounded by broken limbs and innocent children who had been kidnapped."

As he spoke, Goblin Knight Mu slowly raised his head.

"Your Majesty, do you know what I was thinking at that time?"

Ye Yan didn't speak, and Goblin Knight Mu continued.

"At that time, I had killed enough."

"So I thought, wouldn't it be fun to raise them and then have them kill each other?"

He looked at Ye Yan, as if he wanted to show Ye Yan's madness, but his little king remained expressionless as always.

"But you didn't do it"

Ye Yan didn't listen anymore and made a conclusion.

"You can't do it"

He saw the wavering in Goblin Knight Mu's eyes.

Goblin Knight is not that kind of person.

The kind of person who treats people as mere tools.

He knows that kind of person's expression, eyes, and behavior very well.

"Haha, you are truly worthy of being a little monarch."

Goblin Knight smiled bitterly and sighed:

"Yeah, I can't do it"

"I didn't expect that I would become so vulnerable."

"Hey, little monarch, am I betraying the Goblin clan by doing this?"

Goblin Knight looked at Ye Yan, his eyes full of confusion, his hands clenched and trembling.

"So, have you always been afraid?"

Ye Yan saw the wavering in Goblin Knight Mu's eyes and continued:

"If this was betrayal, then I would have been a traitor."

"No, little, little monarch, no"

Goblin Knight Mu seemed to want to excuse Ye Yan, but Ye Yan spoke first:

"I have always protected my mother, who is my only relative in this world."

"It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future."

"Even if I were asked to kill goblins of the same kind for this purpose, I wouldn't hesitate at all."

Ye Yan looked at the tearful face of Goblin Knight Mu, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Just do what you want."

"Really, really?"

Tears couldn't stop falling from Goblin Knight Mu's eyes. In fact, this matter had been pressing in Goblin Knight Mu's heart.

As a goblin, or even a knight, he has a natural sense of honor and belonging to the goblin clan.

But now he takes the initiative to protect human cubs, which makes him always ashamed and angry.

Although, the little king clearly told himself that he was a traitor, a goblin traitor.

But the little king, setting an example in front of him, doesn’t seem so hard to accept?

Moreover, since the little king is the king of the Goblins in the future, then after rounding it off, he will be the Goblin King.

So, what the Goblin King did can be defined as a traitor?

That is the direction of the ethnic group!

And this is the first time that Goblin Knight has taken the initiative to run towards the direction of the group!

So, can we say that he is not a traitor!

Are those goblins who deviate from the group's direction the traitors?

In an instant, the Goblin Knight curtain suddenly opened up!

"I, Goblin Knight, hereby swear an oath"

With almost no hesitation, Goblin Knight Mu drew his sword and half-knelt in front of Ye Yan, his expression instantly becoming serious.

"From now on, I wish to be Ye Yanyan's sword forever and defend my Lord's glory to the death."

At this moment, Wujiao and Nan, who had just arrived, were stunned.

They did not expect that they would see a knight captain-level mature Goblin with unlimited potential in the future swearing a knighthood oath to a Goblin who was only in the growth stage!

The so-called knight's oath is an oath that only a knight can initiate unilaterally.

It represents the greatest loyalty to followers.

You know, even among the Goblin Generals, only a handful of Goblin Knights will take the oath of knighthood.

Even knights of other races are like this.

For knights, glory is life, and this oath is equivalent to their second life.

I won't take the oath easily.

After all, once the oath is taken, it means that the person will be king for life.

Ye Yan didn't know what this meant, but he suddenly felt the connection with Goblin Knight Mu.

The connection between the monarch and the minister.

It was similar to naming the three goblins Dongnian, Mang, and Ke.

It was not worth Ye Yan's attention, but-

His eyes swept over the wounded body of Goblin Knight Mu, hesitated, and opened his lips slightly.

Under Wujiao's incredible gaze, he used the elf spell-photosynthesis self-healing.

In an instant, all the wounds on Goblin Knight Mu disappeared quickly, as if they had never appeared.

"What is this?"

Goblin Knight Mu was surprised, looking at Ye Yan with awe.

"Thank you, Lord Monarch"

"Where do you want to go next?"

Goblin Knight Mu hesitated, and just as he was about to speak, he was preempted by Wujiao.

"How about we go to our lair?"

At this time, Goblin Knight Mu was alerted when he found Wujiao and Nan beside him.

After Wujiao's unilateral explanation, Knight Mu also understood roughly.

He shook his head and refused:

"I want to walk around."

"There are many powerful adventurers recently."

Wujiao wanted to scare him, but Goblin Knight Mu was not afraid at all.

"I can fight if I meet someone, but I will run away if I can't beat them."

Before Wujiao could say anything else, Goblin Knight Mu had already said goodbye to Ye Yan and left.

"Hmph"

Looking at the back of Goblin Knight Mu leaving, Wujiao snorted coldly.

"It sounds so nice to say that you want to walk around"

"In the end, you are still in a hurry to find those little kids" (End of this chapter)
