The warriors of the Knights gathered together, like a surging torrent of steel, and lined up in front of Xia Xiu, standing solemnly.

They raised the double-headed warhammers and bolters in their hands, put their right fists on their hearts in a breathtakingly solemn gesture, with the hoods on their heads slightly lowered, and then declared the iconic war cry of the Tenth Heroic Chapter:

"The will of the kingdom of heaven must be followed and never be violated!!!"

The knights shouted in unison, and the sound was like the war drums of thousands of troops, reverberating in every corner of the square with shocking power, impacting everyone's eardrums.

Saint George had already arrived in front of Xia Xiu. He stood still and slowly took off his helmet.

Under the helmet, there is a handsome but weathered face, with golden hair shining in the sun, and blue pupils like the deep sea.

He looked directly into the golden eyes of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, as if looking directly into his soul.

This direct gaze did not last long.

"Following the instructions of Heavenly Eden, the 10th Heroic Regiment has been assembled to support you, Lord Abraham."

He faced the fourth sword holder, his voice was deep and powerful, and his words were like iron.

When Xia Xiu heard this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes swept over this unrivaledly loyal hero from heaven and the hundreds of knights standing solemnly behind him.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

He first simply welcomed the arrival of the members of the Knights, then changed the topic and said to the Tenth Hero with a hint of meaning in his tone:

"I have seen part of your secular resume... You were once a student of [Veteran (0-10)], and you have long served as a resistance force in the inland areas of the Kingdom of Heaven, ensuring the stability of the armed defenses of major shelter sites.

Now, your responsibility has shifted to the secret jurisdiction project service of [Gardener (0-02)]. The reason why I was able to dispatch you is also thanks to the gardener in the Edici Federation who nodded and released you."

Xia Xiu's voice was smooth and calm, but it made people feel a penetrating insight.

He paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued:

"However, I am more curious about one thing - as a supporter of the Utopia faction, what does your teacher think of me?"

Faced with Xia Xiu's blunt question, the Tenth Hero St. George did not hesitate at all and responded with a steady and powerful voice:

"The teacher criticized you quite a bit. He even said bluntly - 'Hugh Abraham, you have delayed the construction of the three hospitals for long enough. It's time to prioritize the work!'"

He repeated it word for word, his tone revealing the teacher's usual harshness and straightforwardness:

"Your goal is to fight against the Golden Court. As the forerunner of the Kingdom of Heaven in the Ivy War, all your deployments should be centered around the Kingdom of Heaven's five-year plan.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the third house cannot be completed as scheduled this month and cannot be entered into the Ivy War list, he will submit an application to Eden to remove you from the reserve decision-making member quota and let you go back

Focus on your duties as a sword bearer."

After St. George's words fell, the air in the hall seemed to be frozen for a moment, and then fell into silence.

Xia Xiu sat there, gently tapping the silver cane in his hand, and a faint light reflected in his golden pupils.

He smiled and did not show any dissatisfaction with [Veteran]'s accusation.

"You can tell your strict teacher that this month... no, to be more precise, within this week, the names of the three academies will appear on the war directories of all realms."

He paused, with an unshakable certainty in his voice.

"——Heaven will officially join the Ivy War."

The Tenth Hero, St. George, stood there, his tall figure like a towering statue.

He looked calm, nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

For him, silence is a majestic response.

Xia Xiu smiled, his eyes stayed on St. George, and then he changed the topic and said with a bit of ease:

"So, where is your Excellency the Gardener?

I am ashamed to say that, as a colleague who is also in the Federation, I have never visited... her."

There was a hint of meaning in his words, and his tone was gentle but one could hear the temptation in it.

St. George raised his head and replied calmly:

"Your Excellency, the Gardener, has shown great interest in the ruins and the Exile Library that you discovered in the Hundred-Storey World.

She has learned of your whereabouts and appreciates the results you have achieved."

He paused slightly, his eyes scanned Xia Xiu's figure imperceptibly, and continued:

"Your Majesty the Gardener is very much looking forward to meeting you."
