Chapter 1275 - 574: Less Talk, More Action

Chapter 1275: Chapter 574: Less Talk, More Action

It’s fine if you usually pull on my collar, but there are a lot of people watching now!

"Herbert!"×2

"Let go of me!"×2

Herbert listened to the perfectly synchronized shouting, raising his brow in amusement, feeling it was quite comical.

Being so in sync in such useless matters?

If you keep making noise, I’ll send you two to the Pacific Rim to pilot mechas!

"If you both are so energized to want to settle this, I have a suggestion: why not just have a match?"

He let go and folded his arms, sneering, "Talking means nothing; let the facts speak."

Indeed, this was Herbert’s method of resolving disputes.

No more fighting, please! (×)

If you can take action, don’t yap too much! (√)

He came to end the argument—a physical resolution.

"Anyway, that bunch is about to arrive, you should take the lead."

Herbert looked at the two who seemed deep in thought, and with a smile, fueled the fire:

"No need to make the rules too complicated; just see who can fend off more Heroic Spirits, decide the winner by the final record."

The "perfectly synchronized" pair frowned upon hearing this, thinking it seemed fine yet somewhat unreliable.

Isn’t this a bit too simple?

If they win, it’s fine, but if they lose... won’t this guy rub it in their faces?

Herbert guessed what they were worried about and proposed again:

"If you think this victory is too trivial, don’t take it as the final outcome, just treat it as the victory for the next month."

"After a month passes, you can have another duel and determine the new winner, how about that?"

A month’s limited victor?

Eliza and Kreti’s expressions slightly changed, feeling this result might actually be acceptable.

They looked at each other, seeing the eagerness in each other’s eyes.

"Hmph!"×2

The air grew more charged with competitiveness!

"Hehe~"

Herbert enjoyed the scene, trying hard to keep his mouth in check.

Everyone, keep your mouths turned down!

I know it’s difficult, but still, we must try!

Just as Herbert struggled to hold back laughter, Eliza squinted her eyes and suddenly spoke:

"Stop pretending, laugh if you want."

!!!

Herbert was startled, coughing twice unintentionally, "Hmm? Cough cough... what did you say?"

Darn, how did she figure me out?

Weird, how did Eliza suddenly become smart?

"Oh, you know exactly what I’m talking about."

Miss Vampire rolled her eyes at him, standing on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, in a voice only the two could hear:

"Why pretend to be innocent? You really enjoy the competition between us, don’t you?"

"Besides, I think you genuinely want us to compete in something not quite serious."

Oh?

Seriously, did she get smarter?

Herbert turned his head and looked at the confident Miss Vampire, raising his brow playfully, asking:

"Oh~ What do I want you to compete in? Want to give it a guess?"

"Heh."

Eliza rolled her eyes at him, with a look that seemed to say "I know you so well," glaring at him.

You think I can’t guess?

Haven’t you let me and others compete before?

Heh, men.

She chuckled and walked off with her head held high, deliberately circling twice in front of Kreti before gracefully returning to her seat.

Eliza’s mood suddenly improved.

Because she suddenly realized, if it really was about competing in those special skills, she had a significant advantage in terms of experience.

She could also consult her best friend, get the exams polished with the Dark Elf!

Exactly, the advantage is mine!

Kreti: ?

Miss Devil frowned, looking at Miss Vampire who was laughing smugly while lightly rubbing her thighs, utterly confused.

What’s going on?

How did she have a mental victory out of the blue?

What did I miss?

Kreti couldn’t contain her curiosity for a moment, using telepathy to ask Herbert:

("What did she just say to you? Why’d she gave me that smug look?")

Herbert turned his head and glanced at her, blinking.

Do you really want to know?

Yet, he felt discussing this topic with Kreti was a bit premature.

Saying it now would make it inconvenient to take "advantage" of the moment.

Can’t spook the snake right now!

Thus, he simply smiled and shook his head lightly, not giving her a chance to continue asking, standing up and clapping his hands.

"Alright, it’s just about time."

Herbert nodded to the Monster Girls present, smiling:

"The adversary has drawn near, and since everyone is well-fed and well-drained ... Valentina, sit down, I know you haven’t eaten enough."

"Ahem, in any case, everyone’s a bit anxious waiting, so we can get started now."

He specifically brought the Monster Girls out from the Disciplinary Hall, not just to let them out for a breath of fresh air and have afternoon tea.

When there’s work to be done, it must be done.

Moreover... when there’s something that needs to be done, it also needs to be done.

Herbert understood that when it was time for him to exert himself, he couldn’t escape at all.

So now, let them do their part and work hard first.

Thus, Herbert waved his big hand with no mental burden and smiled:

"Go, my warriors!"

"It’s time for you to show the world your true power."

The white-haired Paladin, with smiling eyes, said:

"Let them realize just how vast the gap between us is."

"Let them understand how foolish they truly are."

"And let them become aware... of who they are truly up against."

...

...

The Heroic Spirit Legion marched with grandeur but in utter silence.

They advanced towards Elda, yet unexpectedly encountered no obstruction along the way.

Not a single one.

There wasn’t even a forward scout, let alone an obstacle blocking the road.

"Why is it so quiet?"

Julia frowned tightly, unsure of what these betrayers were thinking.

The opponent seemed to have no intention of intercepting them halfway, just letting them advance unimpeded.

"Could Elda have not been prepared yet?"

"Or are they ready to engage in a fierce battle at their home base?"

She didn’t believe the opponent was the former; a presence so esteemed by the Legion Commander couldn’t be a fool like that.

Moreover, an arrogant and foolish existence couldn’t possibly become an enemy that we’d prepare to fight to the death against.

The latter seemed more likely; perhaps Elda had already fortified their territory, just waiting for them to arrive.

But still, Julia felt something was off.

An instinctive unease crazily tingled her nerves.

What exactly had she overlooked?

Where did something go wrong?

Soon, Julia saw the answer.

On the road, still some distance away from Elda, the Heroic Spirit Legion’s steps were finally forced to a halt.

"So slow, and you dare to keep me waiting for so long... Tsk!" ×2

The intertwining voices instantly tightened Julia’s nerves as she cautiously eyed the dangerous beings blocking the Legion.

Legendary aura.

And definitely not ordinary legends!

Two beautiful figures stood on either side of the road, gazing at them with similar haughty eyes.

To be precise, they glanced at them first, then quickly turned their heads, glaring fiercely at each other.

Still imitating me!!?

Kreti and Eliza glared at each other, both gritting their teeth.

"Hmph!" ×2

Yet, with outsiders present, they didn’t tear at each other’s hair but instead gave way a little, each saying one sentence.

"The weak cannot advance to Elda."

"You must prove your worth."

"This trial tests your will."

"Those with a weak will cannot pass."

After speaking, they didn’t give Julia a chance to respond, simultaneously saying:

"Now..." ×2

The Demon’s eyes shone with a purple brilliance, and with language laced with special magic power, she smiled:

"Kneel before me!"

The Vampire’s eyes flashed with dazzling crimson, commanding the Heroic Spirit Legion.

"Submit to me!"

!!?

Realizing what the opponent intended, Julia was irritated to laughter.

Do you not know who we are?

We are faithful servants of the Divine, how could we possibly be influenced by you!

She was just about to mock their arrogance...

When suddenly, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind her.

Thud.

It was—the sound of knees meeting the Earth.

!!?

"This can’t be possible!!!"
