Goblin Knight Mu's forehead was covered with sweat.
He could clearly feel the little king Ye Yan's sharp gaze falling on him, as if to penetrate his armor and look directly into his soul.
Subconsciously, he swallowed, trying to calm his inner tension.
But the fear that surged from the bottom of my heart was like a surging tide, uncontrollable.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and every second seemed to be stretched into eternity.
Goblin Knight's heartbeat accelerated until it almost stopped.
He half-knelt in front of Ye Yan, with his head lowered, not daring to look Ye Yan in the eye.
"you've changed."
Ye Yan's voice was cold and calm, without a trace of emotion.
He stared at the Goblin Knight screen and slowly uttered these three words.
Goblin Knight opened his mouth, was silent for a moment, and then continued:
"I don't know. Maybe, the moment I woke up and saw the nest I had been living in was razed to the ground, the general I had always followed died on the battlefield, and my subordinates were wiped out by adventurers, I changed."
His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep helplessness and sorrow.
"Then why don't you kill the adventurers? They're the ones who destroyed your lair and killed your general."
Ye Yan's tone remained calm.
"kill?"
Goblin Knight Mu smiled bitterly and looked up at Ye Yan:
"Of course I did. From the moment I walked out of the lair, the sword in my hand never stopped."
When he said this, a hint 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 slowly raised his head.
"My Lord, do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
Ye Yan didn't say anything, and Goblin Knight continued.
“By then, I had killed enough.”
"So I thought, wouldn't it be fun to raise them and let them kill each other?"
He looked at Ye Yan, as if he wanted Ye Yan to see his madness, but his little king remained expressionless as always.
“But you didn’t do it”
Ye Yan didn't listen any further and made a conclusion.
“You can’t do it”
He saw the hesitation 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 knew that kind of person's expressions, eyes, and behaviors very well.
"Haha, you are worthy of being a little monarch."
Goblin Knight laughed bitterly and sighed:
“Yeah, I can’t do that.”
"I didn't expect that I would become so vulnerable."
"Hey, my Lord, am I betraying the Goblin clan by doing this?"
Goblin Knight Mu looked at Ye Yan, his eyes full of confusion and his clenched hands trembling constantly.
"So, you've been scared?"
Ye Yan saw the hesitation in Goblin Knight Mu's eyes and continued:
"If this is betrayal, then I am a traitor long ago"
"No, little, little monarch, it's not."
Goblin Knights seemed to want to excuse Ye Yan, but Ye Yan spoke first:
"I have been protecting my mother. She is the only relative I have in this world."
“It was so in the past, it is so in the present, and it will be so in the future”
"Even if I was asked to kill a fellow goblin for this, I would not 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 to do."
"Really? Is it true?" Tears couldn't stop dripping from Goblin Knight Mu's eyes. In fact, this matter had been weighing on Goblin Knight Mu's mind.
As a goblin, and even a knight, he has a natural sense of honor and belonging to the goblin clan.
But now he took the initiative to protect the human cubs, which made him feel ashamed and angry.
Although, the little king clearly told himself that he was a traitor, a goblin traitor.
But with the little king setting an example, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept?
Moreover, since the little prince is the future king of the goblins, then after rounding off, he is the Goblin King.
So, can what the Goblin King did be defined as treason?
That is the direction of the tribe!
And it was the first time that Goblin Knight took the initiative to run towards the group of goblins!
So, can we say that he is not a traitor?
Are those goblins who stray from the group the traitors?
In an instant, Goblin Knight's story became clear!
"I, the Goblin Knights, hereby swear an oath"
With almost no hesitation, Goblin Knight drew his sword, half-knelt in front of Ye Yan, and his expression instantly became serious.
"From now on, I wish to be Ye Yan's sword forever and defend the glory of my Lord until my death."
At this moment, Wujiao and Nan, who had just arrived, were stunned.
They didn't expect to see a mature goblin at the knight captain level with unlimited potential in the future swearing the knight's oath to a goblin who was only in the growth stage!
The so-called knight's oath is an oath that can only be initiated unilaterally by a knight.
It represents the utmost loyalty to followers.
You know, even among the Goblin Generals' subordinates, only a very small number of Goblin Knights will swear the Knight's Oath.
Even knights of other races are the same.
For knights, glory is life, and this oath is equivalent to their second life.
I won't swear easily.
After all, once the oath is taken, it means that you will serve that person as your king for life.
Ye Yan didn't know what this meant, but he could suddenly feel the connection with the Goblin Knights.
The relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
The names given to the three brothers Dongnian, Mang and Kena are similar in nature.
It's not worth Ye Yan's concern, but——
His eyes swept over the wounded body of Goblin Knight, hesitant, and his lips slightly parted.
Under Wujiao's incredulous gaze, he used the elf's spell - photosynthetic self-healing.
In an instant, all the wounds on Goblin Knight Mu's body disappeared quickly, as if they had never appeared.
"This is?"
Goblin Knight Mu was shocked and looked at Ye Yan with awe.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Where do you want to go next?"
Goblin Knight hesitated and was about to speak when Wujiao spoke first.
"How about we go to our lair?"
At this moment, Goblin Knight Mu noticed Wujiao and Nan standing nearby, and instantly became alert.
After Wujiao's unilateral explanation, the Knights also understood the general idea.
He shook his head and refused:
"I want to walk around."
"There are many powerful adventurers recently."
Wujiao wanted to use this to scare him, but Goblin Knight Mu was not afraid at all.
"If I can fight someone, I will fight. If I can't beat them, I will run away."
Before Wujiao could say anything, Goblin Knight Mu had already said goodbye to Ye Yan and left.
"Humph"
Looking at the Goblin Knight's departing back, Wujiao snorted coldly.
"You said you wanted to go around, that sounds so nice."
"In the end, I'm still in a hurry to find those little brats" (End of this chapter)
