Novel Full Chapter 207 Legend of the Holy Knight
In the struggle against demons, both past and present, many heroes have been born.
Holy Knight Wilton is such a hero!
Wilton is not yet fifty years old today, he has an ordinary appearance, and an ordinary physique. If not for wearing the Void Magic Armor, he would seem no different from an ordinary person. Yet, this ordinary man is like a legendary figure!
Tales of Wilton’s deeds have been circulating in the sky for many years. It is said that he was but a commoner by birth, yet a born Void Magic Warrior. He obtained his very first set of Armor at the age of fifteen, soon started to stand out, and made a name for himself in the Second Counterattack War.
In that war, Wilton killed countless Normal Demons, and even was able to slay thirteen high-level demons all by himself! This feat made him the Void Magic Warrior with the most high-level demons killed in the entire war, thus making him a true hero of the Second Counterattack.
Becoming a war hero did not stop Wilton from continuing to craft his illustrious legacy. His deeds are too numerous to count, but one of the most celebrated was when he led his Void Magic Squad to help relocate an entire village’s population—a tremendous feat.
This relocation process took half a month to complete, was entirely over land, covered more than a hundred kilometers, lacked any protection from Sky City, without warship support, with only Wilton and his Void Magic Squad.
During this half-month, they protected the villagers while killing every demon that attacked along the way, totaling over a thousand demons slain, and ultimately successfully escorted the villagers to Gesya City. Upon their arrival in Gesya City, not a single villager they escorted had been harmed!
This act granted Wilton the name Holy Knight and his fame spread throughout the lands.
As such a renowned figure, Rocky and Karina naturally heard of him. The reason was simple, for the deeds of Holy Knight Wilton had been inscribed in books. Even those who had never seen him would surely have read of his deeds.
So when everyone learned that the grievously injured Void Magic Warrior before them was none other than Holy Knight Wilton, they were all dumbfounded!
For a moment, everyone in front of Wilton became helpless and unsure of what to do.
“Everyone, I hope you can send me to the Sky Alliance immediately.”
And just when Rocky and the others did not know what to do, Wilton directly spoke up.
“Tulip City has been breached, and this information must be conveyed to the Sky Alliance as quickly as possible. That’s why I hope you can hurry and take me to the Alliance’s airspace. When we arrive, I will surely reward you greatly!”
“This…”

Hearing Wilton’s words, Rocky and Karina looked at each other. Could it be true that Tulip City, which had stood unbreached for a hundred years, had actually fallen?
If this news came from somebody else, Rocky and the others would likely be dubious, just as they were before, not believing it at all. But if these words came from Holy Knight Wilton himself, that changed everything.
So afterward, everyone unanimously turned their gaze to the same direction—Orton.
Wilton and Orton both were great personages, and it was clear that they knew each other. Some matters were simply more convenient for Orton to address.
At this time, Orton had already stepped forward and came before Wilton: “Wilton, there’s no need to worry for now. We are in the process of returning to Sky City. Even if we wish to send you to the Sky Alliance, we must get back to Sky City first.”
“So it is. Then I’ll have to trouble you all.”
Hearing Orton’s words, Wilton finally calmed down.
However, Orton continued to ask, “Wilton, the Sky City that was just destroyed by the Magic Dragon, that was your city, wasn’t it?”
“Yes…”
Mentioning the Sky City that had just been torn apart by the Magic Dragon immediately brought a downtrodden look to Wilton’s face, obviously touching upon his distress.
“We still have time, tell us in detail what’s going on.”
Taking a chair, Aodu sat down opposite him while speaking, obviously very interested in everything that had just happened, as well as the matters he was talking about.
Upon hearing these words, Wilton glanced at Orton, then looked at Rocky and the others, and immediately began to recount the events.
The three cities on the land had close associations with The Three Great Alliances in the sky. Each of The Three Great Alliances was directly in contact with one city; in particular, the Sky Alliance was responsible for supporting Tulip City.
Three days ago, all communication between Tulip City and the Sky Alliance suddenly broke off, which gave the Sky Alliance a bad feeling. They immediately dispatched Sky City, where Wilton was, which was the very one that had just been destroyed, to check on the situation in Tulip City and to investigate.
However, when Wilton arrived at Cliff Canyon, he found that Tulip City, which had lost contact for only three days, had already been overrun by demons!
This turn of events took him completely by surprise. But before he could figure out what was going on, a large number of Magic Dragons suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on Sky City.
To avoid the brunt of their attack, Sky City where Wilton was promptly withdrew from the vicinity of Tulip City, hoping to shake off the attackers, but it turned out to be impossible. Dozens of Magic Dragons relentlessly pursued and attacked Sky City, chasing it for a full day and night until Sky City had no choice but to engage them in battle.
During the battle, Wilton displayed extraordinary strength unparalleled by others, single-handedly slaying three Magic Dragons! Unfortunately, there were too many Magic Dragons. He might have been able to contend with the Magic Dragons by relying on his strength, but the other Void Magic Warriors, as well as the fleet, simply couldn’t withstand the Dragons…
What happened next need not be mentioned, as Rocky and the others had witnessed it with their own eyes: Sky City was destroyed, the fleet and all the Void Magic Warriors fell in battle, leaving only Wilton who barely escaped to the Thunderhawk.
In just a few words, Wilton summarized the entire incident for everyone present, and while the matter was straightforward without any twists and turns, it shocked every person who heard it!
Tulip City, as solid as iron and occupying a strategically impregnable position, had been taken in such a confusing manner?
How could this be possible!
Everyone present knew what the fall of Tulip City implied. Not only did it mean one less city on the land, but what was even more serious was that Tulip City had stood unbreached for a hundred years on land, yet now had inexplicably fallen in just a few days. This certainly indicated that the demons were showing an activity beyond everyone’s imagination!
This change could potentially affect everyone!
No wonder Welsh was so eager to relay this message back to the Sky Alliance; the matter was indeed too significant!
“Welsh, you should rest well now. After we return to Sky City, we will help you contact the Sky Alliance as soon as possible,” said Orton to him after Wilton had finished speaking. He then gave Rocky a look, and everyone followed him out of the cabin.
“Teacher…”
Having left the cabin and returned to the deck, Rocky and Karina both looked at Orton, understanding that he had something to say to them.
“What do you two think should be done about this matter?”
Despite Orton’s usually quirky demeanor, he was decisive in critical moments. He didn’t make decisions for Rocky and Karina. Instead, he asked for their opinions.
“Of course, we have to deliver Wilton to the Sky Alliance. The fall of Tulip City is too grave a matter; we can’t ignore it, nor can we delay!”
To this question, Rocky immediately gave his answer, which was naturally to help Wilton.
But to his surprise, after he finished speaking, Karina spoke up from beside him, “Sorry, I won’t be involved in this matter.”
