Chapter 4699
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi was right.
The lingering smell of blood in the air filled King Arthur with an overwhelming sense of unease.
His eyes were cold as he said indifferently, "They say it's on the Pope's orders, but in reality, the Vatican has never truly cared about us humans."
"Yes."
Saladin nodded, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
"They keep saying it's for the Holy Light and Order, but true order is often just an empty shell in their mouths. What they pursue is power, control, and authority that transcends this world."
King Arthur sighed helplessly.
Even at this point, the Vatican is still causing trouble. Do they really want to see the heavens collapse, moon fragments fall to Earth, and cause a mass extinction of life on the entire surface world?
What on earth are they up to?
Black mist swirled among them, obscuring the blood-red ground. He remembered that name.
"Zhang Yi."
Zhang Yi's real name is no secret, but King Arthur rarely called Zhang Yi by his name.
"How much does that guy actually know? Damn it, he's holding back when he asks us to do his bidding."
Saladin smiled and said, "At least we can be sure that he has no ill intentions towards us."
"after all--"
He looked at King Arthur, and the two exchanged a helpless smile.
"He is already a member of our Pupil Organization."
Yes.
After returning from the Eye of the Devil, Zhang Yi chose to join the Pupil Organization.
It's less about joining and more about joining forces.
The Pupil Organization is a loose alliance with a shared desire to survive in the apocalypse.
Zhang Yi agreed to join the Pupil Organization and officially became one of their Four Knights of Dawn, the [Knight of Deception].
However, Zhang Yi's attitude was also very clear: he would only act for his own benefit.
He would quit at any time if the things the Pupil Organization offered him were less than his worth.
Of course, given Zhang Yi's current strength, the Pupil Organization readily agreed to his conditions.
The two men's voices weren't loud, but all the surviving soldiers heard them clearly.
Their gazes turned in unison to the depths of the dark forest, a place of endless gloom and unknowns, but also a name that stirred a faint hope within them.
Zhang Yi.
King Arthur spoke slowly: "He understands the situation better than any of us, and sees it more clearly than anyone else. He sees the Papacy, and even the secrets of this forest, more deeply than we do."
"So, what should we do?"
Saladin's voice was deep, yet carried a rare solemnity.
The air quieted down, with only the black fog churning.
King Arthur looked up, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and shrugged. "Is there any need to ask? Didn't he already leave us a signal? We'll go deep into the Dark Sun Forest and find him! This time, we must make that guy tell us the truth!"
Saladin glanced at him and then nodded slightly.
“He is now our greatest hope for breaking the deadlock.” Saladin said, his eyes filled with respect as he mentioned Zhang Yi: “Although he doesn’t seem very serious on a regular basis, he is very reliable when it comes to getting things done.”
"good."
King Arthur's voice was firm and resolute: "The current situation is beyond our ability to handle alone. Only he may be able to provide some direction."
They won't discuss Zhang Yi's character, but they have to admit that he's prudent and cautious.
In this dangerous Dark Sun Forest, following Zhang Yi is still the most promising option.
The soldiers' eyes gradually converged, all landing on the two of them.
Although they were somewhat exhausted after the great battle, they seemed to have gained a new strength in their hearts at this moment, a kind of unwavering belief stemming from trust.
Deep in the distant forest, black mist billowed, as if waiting for them to step inside.
The two exchanged a glance, a resolute look flashing in each other's eyes.
