Chapter 540: Chapter 395: Bert’s Loyalty_2
“Brother, it’s been a long time…a really long time.”
Right across, the old face of Baron was also too excited to be himself, nodding continuously and responding with a trembling voice.
The next second, Burt and Baron didn’t hesitate, both stepped forward and tightly embraced each other’s arms.
At this point, with their efforts, the two seemingly close Moon-Wolf-brothers with mountains and rivers in their hearts were reunited after thirty years.
At the same time, the barrier buried in their hearts also vanished instantly, leaving only the rejoicing of seeing each other again and the long-accumulated longing spread quietly in the room.
After a while, when the excitement of Burt and Baron was slightly calmer, they separated and began to laugh heartily together.
However, in this hearty laughter, apart from the uncontrollable excitement, there was also an indescribable joy mixed with tears.
At this moment, there was no Kingdom General who commanded the armies, nor Crystal Archduke who ruled a country, but only two long-lost Moon Wolf brothers, and that’s it.
After that, there is no need to tell how the two brothers shared their joys and sorrows over the years.
With excitement, Burt, his face flushed, couldn’t help but wonder, “Baron, tell me, how did you find Cyan Town?”
“Brother, it all happened like this. It was all because of that Lord that I made up my mind to visit you…”
Baron then described to Burt how he and his party in Crystal Kingdom thwarted Necromancer Brandon’s schemes and saved the entire kingdom.
And how through Joshua, they came to know the whole story and truth behind the events of that year.
“So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect it to be that Lord…”
After hearing Baron’s story, gratitude filled the aged cheeks of Burt, and he muttered, “Now, I am nothing more than a dejected man who has lost the power of the army and may be besieged by other princes at any time.”
“Yet, that Lord still did so much for us brothers and the Crystal Kingdom, to the extent of being too much to repay.”
Afterwards, Burt took a deep breath and asked, “Baron, where is that Lord now?”
After a moment,
Accompanied by his subordinates, Leo Ray appeared before the two brothers.
On the other hand, Burt did not hesitate, bowed to Leo Ray and said, “Thank you, Lord, for all you’ve done for us brothers and the Crystal Kingdom!”
General Burt, no need for more formalities,”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray’s expression changed, and he continued, “General Burt, do you remember my encounter with Hero King Caesar in Dragon’s Lair’s ancestral sleeping place?”
In fact, in the near future, this world will face a catastrophe.
And that unknown catastrophe is only the prelude to the entire crisis.”
After that, Leo Ray described in detail the conjecture about the Blank Era 3000 years ago, the absence of the gods’ favor, the disappearance of the Chosen Son of God,
And their own experiences in various relics, the Ancient Ship, and the imminent great catastrophe.
Furthermore, Leo Ray successively demonstrated mysterious organization masks, Eternal Night Magic Box, Wind and Cloud Wings, and petrified Winged people’s equipment, etc.
He also briefly explained the origin of each item, the story behind it, and his own speculations.
At this point, with increasingly solemn and astonished expressions, Leo Ray’s determined face said to Burt and Baron, “Before that day comes,
There’s only one thing we can do, which is to accumulate as much strength as possible while,
Trying every means to investigate the truth behind everything so that we can better cope with the terrifying crisis that is coming.”
Taking a deep breath, Leo Ray paced slowly and continued, “As I just said,
No matter whether it was the past Blank Era, the absence of gods’ favor, the disappearance of the Chosen Son of God, or the sudden advent of us otherworldly lords,
Or the future catastrophe, there is a clear connection between all these events.
This is certain.
And my primary goal is the land under our feet right now.
Only by gathering all the resources will we have a greater chance of leading more people to resist the unknown catastrophe.”
Then, Leo Ray described his intentions to win over and support Ariel, and in one fell swoop, ascend to the Coldflame Throne to the two brothers.After speaking, a helpless expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face as he continued, “Of course.
As I am now, my strength is still limited when facing Coldflame or that inscrutable mysterious organization.
But, I believe, as long as I keep moving forward, there will be no unbeatable opponent and no insurmountable unknown catastrophe.”
At this point, Leo Ray walked up to the white-haired Kingdom General with a solemn expression and said, “General Burt.
In order to achieve all of this, are you willing to help me?”
On the other side, Burt’s robust body trembled slightly, and there was no hesitation on his aged face.
Then, kneeling down on one knee, he resolutely declared, “I, Burt Eveningstar, swear to serve my Lord loyally!
I’m willing to contribute my own strength for my Lord’s supreme ideal!”
“Very good, then let’s start signing the contract.”
Satisfied, Leo Ray moved his heart slightly, and the blessed Recruitment Order appeared in his palm.
In just a moment, the Recruitment Order in Leo Ray’s hand completed its mission and turned into twinkling light particles, dissipating in the air.
The familiar prompt sound soon rang in Leo Ray’s ears.
[Congratulations, Tier 4 Six-Star Axe Saint Burt Eveningstar has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and become your new subordinate!]
Hearing this, by habit, Leo Ray opened Burt’s attribute column while helping the other party up.
[Name: Burt]
[Occupation: Axe Saint]
[Rank: Tier 4 Six-Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill One: Bloodthirsty Heavy Chop ‘Active’ (Physical Single-target Attack, Additional Armor Break Effect)]
[Skill Two: Double Guillotine ‘Active’ (Physical Single-target Attack, Additional Knockback Effect)]
[Skill Three: Battle Axe Mastery ‘Passive’ (Medium Increase in Damage when Using Battle Axe)]
[Skill Four: Mountain Crystal Bloodline ‘Passive’ (Completely Resist Moon Wolf Tribe Passive Transformation)]
After closing the other party’s attribute column, a delighted expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face.
At this point, after Gideon Black, Joshua, Scarlett, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark,
the number of Tier 4 powerhouses under his command had reached six!
“According to my plan, after successively recruiting Deputy Captain of the Guards Gregg, Maid Celeste, and Kingdom Generals Joshua and Burt,
my next target will naturally be Ariel Watson, the Coldflame Fifth Princess.”
With that in mind, Leo Ray pondered for a moment before asking the robust old man, “General Burt, given your understanding of the Coldflame Princess,
what should we do if we want to recruit Ariel?”
“My Lord, I have watched the princess grow up since she was a child.”
Bending slightly towards Leo Ray, Burt immediately replied, “Therefore, I clearly understand.
As the beloved youngest daughter of the old king, coupled with the unique elite education of the Coldflame Royal Family,
the princess has developed a very arrogant and willful personality since childhood.
However, as her age increased and the cruel struggle for the throne unfolded in the Royal Capital,
her willfulness has greatly subsided under the influence of various events.
But I can still feel that the princess’s pride remains.
So, I think,
if my Lord wants to bring the princess under his control smoothly,
there is still a crucial opportunity missing.”
“It’s more or less what I thought.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray mused, “However, I believe that this so-called opportunity will come soon.”
