This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 39 This Name is Safe

Chapter 39: Chapter 39 This Name is Safe

The vast Holy City, with so many power struggles. Faced with the aggressive enemy, Lette wasn’t arrogant enough to fight alone.

After all, doing so would be too exhausting, which was contrary to his easygoing lifestyle and enjoyment of life.

Therefore, capable allies were indispensable.

Taylor was one such ally; regarding trust, execution ability, or personal capability, Lette felt at ease with him.

But talent must be applied to the right scenarios, and for the upcoming mission, the newly awakened Adros was much more suitable than Taylor.

"From now on, you are the new king of the Dark Clan. In the Holy City, you will gather the scattered clansmen and lead them to make the Dark Clan great again!

It is your unshirkable duty to restore the glory of the Dark Clan."

Adros suddenly understood: "Is this an undercover mission?"

"Not exactly. Undercover is when you go be a subordinate, but I’m sending you to be the boss! So it’s called ’overcover’."

Lette observed Adros: "But I can’t let you walk the dark alleys alone; I need to give you a team to make your identity more convincing."

The crowd was puzzled because they couldn’t imagine anything more convincing than the Black Gold Tears Sword among the Dark Clan.

Lette didn’t explain much. Instead, he gathered a ball of Holy Light in one hand and suddenly crushed it.

The bursting light transformed into Holy Crows, swirling and flying around him.

"Number 007, Number 95287, Number 89757, Number 12138, Number 100086! Step out!"

As Lette called each name, a Holy Crow flew and landed on the Seal of the corresponding prisoner’s cage.

The iron doors were pushed open, and those named prisoners lined up behind Lette, bowing and saluting.

"Not to me, to him."

Lette pointed to the somewhat dazed Adros: "Swear allegiance to your new king and assist him well.

Within the Dark Clan, there is a woman overestimating herself, daring to covet the throne, desecrate the darkness, and lead the entire clan down a path of no return.

Fortunately, with the new king’s enthronement, with your help, things will be set straight. Under the new king’s leadership, the Dark Clan will turn a new page.

Alright, I’ll leave the rest of the time for you to bond as sovereign and subjects.

I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you."

Lette waved his hand, leaving with the others, while the Dark prisoners he called knelt slowly on one knee toward Adros, performing a sovereign-subject salute.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The Knight Captain hurried to Lette’s side: "Is it really okay to release these guys just like that? What if they have rebellious intentions? What if they betray us?

The ones you just released are Catastrophe Level Dark Clan members!

What if..."

Lette glanced at him: "If these situations arise, Adros will handle them. If he can’t, then he’s not fit to be the Dark King.

Besides, I sent him on a mission, I’ve got to give him a beginner’s package, right?"

The Knight Captain gasped, thinking that this beginner’s package was a bit too explosive.

"Kels, you underestimate your Black robed Crowd’s Flawless Sword."

Lette climbed the steps, his tone filled with certainty: "This person, despite having some ideological issues, his abilities are unquestionable.

Don’t forget, even the pure Joanna must tread carefully when handling Church Court affairs.

Even so, she wouldn’t dare claim never to have erred or perfectly completed every task over the years.

But Adros can.

Do you think your Cardwen Archbishop keeps treating him as a treasure despite knowing he has issues?

It’s because he possesses first-rate courage, skills, strategy, and strength, just misapplied.

Once the day comes when he has a realization and gets it right,

the Black robed Holy Hall will welcome the strongest Black robed Archbishop historically.

However, I don’t have the patience to wait for his slow awakening."

Upon hearing Lette’s words, the Knight Captain’s concerns vanished, even feeling a bit excited.

A Black robed Archbishop who ruled the entire Dark Clan! The Black robed Holy Hall would undoubtedly usher in its most glorious era!

No! It signifies an unprecedented golden age for the entire Holy Light Church!

Kertes just realized that he might have witnessed history just moments ago!

As they spoke, everyone left the Black Iron Dungeon and returned to the courtyard of the Judgement Court.

"In the coming time, the entire Holy City will enter a special state of alert."

Lette displayed the Holy Light Medal in his hand again: "Therefore, the Holy Knight Order will dispatch some people into the Holy City to take over urban defense and routine patrols."

Kertes’ recently calmed heart began to race uncontrollably again.

"This, this, this! How can this be allowed? The Holy Knight Order is forbidden to enter the Holy City, established as an iron rule since the Holy Knight Army’s founding!"

"You don’t need to worry about the Holy Knights; I’ll find someone to mediate."

"No! It’s just that the city’s defense and security have always been our Black robed Holy Hall’s duty."

Lette smiled: "Your Black robed Holy Hall has other tasks.

Adros’ mission is dangerous and requires your Black robed Holy Hall’s full cooperation.

I’m relieving your burden to ensure you have enough manpower and energy to assist him.

It’s fine if you don’t want to, but I can’t guarantee Adros’ safety then.

You don’t want a future star of the Black robed Holy Hall to perish due to insufficient support, do you?"

Kertes felt a chill all over, realizing that the opponent’s scheme wasn’t just against the Dark Clan; it included the Black robed Holy Hall.

"What you’re doing, Cardwen Archbishop won’t..."

"He will, his precious heir is in my hands."

Lette turned to look at the busy Judgement Court: "Moreover... you barely have enough people in your Black robed Holy Hall.

The Holy Presence Ceremony drastically increased the floating population in the Holy City; the city’s defense and security have long exceeded your capacity.

Out of pride, you continued to push yourselves; if something went wrong, the Black robed Holy Hall would be the culprit.

You’ve also heard Adros’ words; the Black robed Crowd already has a bad reputation.

If you carry that burden at the time then...

I can’t allow my brothers to shed blood and sweat, only to end up in tears."

Kertes gave a wry smile, resignedly lowering his head: "I will convey your orders to my colleagues at the Judgement Court, Your Highness."

Lette patted the other’s shoulder, turned with his people, and left the Judgement Court.

Upon exiting the gates, Taylor approached with a hearty chuckle.

"Boss, it’s all you! That bunch of old guys from the Military and Political Department argued with Cardwen for so long, yet couldn’t get the Black robed Holy Hall to agree.

Once you stepped in, you settled it effortlessly!

Ha-ha! I can’t wait to see those old folks’ dumbstruck faces when we return!"

"Hmph, the Holy Light Church has long needed reforming! Dividing the Church and Church Order so distinctly results in inefficiency; it’s exasperating to watch...

Taylor, the people handling city defense and security should form a new army, but it should be affiliated with both the Church Order and the Church Court.

This task, I can’t trust anyone else to lead; it’s yours to command."

Taylor happily grabbed Lette’s shoulders, shaking them back and forth: "Really, boss! I knew there’d be meat to eat following you!

So, so, what’s the new army’s name?"

"Since the new army will handle Holy City’s defense and security management, let’s call it the Holy New Army."

"...Boss, it seems the name doesn’t match its function at all!"

"That’s how it should be; the name is safe."

Lette glanced at the Judgement Court behind him: "By the way, when you go back to form the new army, issue a statement.

Say that the new army’s formation is to expand the ranks, and preparations to release three positions for the Exiled Sect to regularize are underway.

Please refer to the announcement to be disclosed by the Red Robed Holy Hall soon for details."
