A chilling aura enveloped Holson, rendering him completely immobile. His lips trembled as he looked at the saintess, only to see a stern look in Heather's eyes.
"Holsen, tell me your thoughts. How do you plan to hunt down the orcs?" The saintess's voice was more piercing than the winter wind.
"I...I will follow Your Highness until my sword breaks, until my life ends." Holson's mind went blank, but he quickly knelt on one knee, gripped his sword with both hands and planted it in front of him, and began to recite the knight's oath.
“Very well, then you will follow behind me until I fall.” Saint Heatherne rose and mounted her horse, galloping away.
Holson hurriedly mounted his horse and followed, shouting at the top of his lungs, "For the Temple, onward!"
As they watched Holson's figure disappear, Kelly and Ellie both spat, their eyes filled with contempt.
In a single day, Saintess Heatherine led Qin Mo and the others to conquer four small towns and kill four orc generals, finally stopping less than twenty miles from Tallinn City.
Holson and his men were very excited. They had not encountered any worthy opponents in the four small towns. After killing all the elite orc warriors stationed there, they set fire to all the houses. Any Rakshasa who dared to howl at them, whether male or female, were all killed by them.
A campfire was lit, and Holson and the other two knights happily ate roasted meat and drank wine. The leaping firelight was so dazzling in the wilderness at night.
Holson took a sip of his drink and looked at Qin Mo smugly. Qin Mo hadn't killed a single person today, following the rear of the group alone with her three horses, as if she weren't part of the Temple's group at all.
Kelly and Ellie came closer and asked softly, "Qin Mo, don't be discouraged. Holson is just being complacent for a moment. Your strength is far beyond his reach, and you will definitely surpass his achievements in the future."
Qin Mo shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't like to bully the weak, especially commoners like us who aren't even considered strongholds." (To chat with more like-minded people about "Sailing and Conquest," follow "or" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books.)
