    “Howe the warriors in our guild are still offline today?” Sitting before herputer, Helen controlled her character and looked bored. “We agreed to raid...”


    “They must be dyed by something,” another member of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion said.


    Helen frowned since she felt like these warriors were straightforward people who would never go back on their words.


    “Commander...”


    “I can’t get through to them either.” Commander Elven seemed to be thinking about something.


    “Ms. Helen, do you want to y this Warcraft? The shop owner made a new map named Wind and Cloud. They say it’s super fun!” S called on the other side of the shop, “We just need one more yer!”


    “Coming! Coming!” Helen exited the game and said to others, “Since we don’t have enough people and are waiting, I’ll go and y a round of Warcraft.”


    “Uh-huh...” Commander Elven nodded, looking not as casual as usual as if he had something on his mind.


    “Huh? Why do you look so absent-minded?” S had begun the game with other elves for a while now. Sitting at theputer desk in her Qzone, Helen clicked on her mouse abstractedly.


    “I don’t know...” Helen moved the mouse aimlessly. “I feel a bit uneasy... Do you think that something happened to them?”


    “...” S also felt uneasy, but she tried to soothe Helen, “Don’t worry. Didn’t you say that those warriors in your group are mercenaries in the Orc Kingdom’s Mercenary Union? Perhaps they received an urgent mission.”


    “Right!” Helen nodded with force. “The business in the real world is more important.”


    Since they came early each day, they liked to sit atputers close to the counter and thus were close to the entrance. Suddenly, they seemed to have felt some disturbance behind them.


    They turned their heads and saw that people on the prosperous street outside the shop were swarming toward the direction of the White Pigeon Square.


    “What’s happening?!” Helen suddenly froze.


    She had never seen people look so anxious and panicky before. Although Mr. Fang’s shop was not in the core area where the high-level aristocrats lived, it was in one of the most prosperous zones in Cann City.


    Even a small aristocrat would be disciplined from youth to beposed and well-mannered, and these people would never scramble to run to a ce with crowds in public.


    “What the heck is happening?” Helen grew even more anxious.


    “Should we follow them and check it out?” S suggested.


    Before she could finish, some mercenaries had run out of the shop toward the crowds.


    “Hurry! Let’s go and see what’s happening!” These people ran out of the shop, followed by the whole Golden Griffin Knight Legion, mages of Royal Magic Union, and other yers.


    On the White Pigeon Square, many humans in Cann City gathered here. There were also some dwarves and elves.


    “We will be ying an urgent announcement.” On the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection, there was a female mage who was wearing a white robe with a badge of Magic Communication Union pinned on her chest. “ording to thetest news from the frontline that the Military Intelligence Department gathered, the Orc Kingdom and neighboring human nations are conquered. The enemies are still unknown for the time being.”


    In the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection, the Long-Range Visual Projection Spell turned the visual to the sky above a city in the Orc Kingdom and showed that the previously prosperous city had been turned into a pitch-ck scorchednd. The crackednd and the ruins on it were a frightening sight.


    “Our nation has entered the emergency war preparation status. All residents please get ready for the war that mighte at any moment! The war mighte at any moment!”


    “This is Mountain Rock City!” someone in the crowd eximed, “One guy in our guild told us about it...”


    The voice got fainter and fainter as if this person suddenly realized something.


    Watching the scene on the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection, the knights of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion and many other yers here suddenly felt their mind turning nk.


    “How can it be...”


    Loud discussions erupted in the crowds.


    “May luck be with the people who are alive, and may peace be with the dead...”


    A nobledy murmured.


    However, they were outsiders and wouldn’t understand what this meant to some people here today.


    Standing on the square in a daze, Helen felt like her whole body had turned numb while her mind was filled with the images of the warriors in her guild. She remembered that they even generously invited all the members of the guild to drink wheat wine after finishing their first raid.


    She had never met some of them in the real world, but after many nights of yelling together and countless wipe-outs, these previous strangers had berades who had each other’s back on battlegrounds.


    They promised that when they got offlinest time...


    “Didn’t you guys promise that we will raid together...?”


    Helen’s tears gushed out without control.


    Carrying a two-handed huge sword on his back, Commander Elven, a sedate middle-aged man, had never looked so bitter before.


    His face paled a little as if he couldn’t bear the departure of his friends.


    Together, they had conquered terrifying enemies one after another, but he had never imagined that these trusted teammates would fall in such a way.


    “Commander...”


    Seeing the helpless nces from the other knight in the legion and the lost gazes from other yers, for some reason, he heard the oath resonating in his head.


    “From now on, I’ll embrace Holy Light with my heart, protect the weak with my sword and shield, and vanquish evil with Holy Light. Humility, honesty,passion, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, and spirituality are the eight virtues that I’ll never forget. We’ll not fall as long as people need our protection!”


    Perhaps it was only an oath that these pdin yers had casually made in the virtual world, and they hadn’t taken it seriously.


    But now, Elven suddenly understood that since he had chosen this ss and took those words to heart, it meant that he agreed with the code in his mind.


    Slowly, Elven drew out the two-handed big sword from his back and pierced this heavy sword that was close to the height of a person into the stone ground before him, making the ground seem like it was as soft as tofu.


    “I, Commander Elven of Golden Griffin Knight Legion, here swear!


    “If you’re still alive... I swear with the honor of pdin that I will defend you to thest moment...


    “If...” Elven paused as if he was bracing himself for the worst possibility.


    “Regardless who your enemies are, your enemies are my enemies!


    “I’ll battle to thest moment in your ce!


    “I’m born for honor and die for glory. Like my sword, I’d rather break than bend!”


    At this moment, all the pdins yelled hoarsely with red eyes, “I’m born for honor and die for glory. Like my sword, I’d rather break than bend!”
