"Cough cough, listen up, all of you!"
Facing the confused eyes of a group of veteran warriors in gray armor, Moli put her hands on her hips and raised her voice: "Standing before you is the emperor of emperors, who quelled the disputes among the Human Clan, bringing peace to the lands of humanity, the master of the Human Clan, creator of legends, Emperor Leo Ray!"
Having spent so ti trailing eagerly behind Leo Ray, Moli evidently learned quite a bit about him.
"This girl is putting on a show again."
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray helplessly smiled.
Though what the girl said was true, hearing a Forest Spirit recount his tales was still sothing he was not quite accustod to.
"Master of the Human Clan? Your Imperial Majesty?"
The robust lead knight quickly reacted and blurted out: "Given your Excellency's noble status, why have you co here?"
"Lest you be unaware!"
Moli took over the conversation again, puffed out her chest, and said: "His Majesty is not only the master of the Human Clan but has also led them to the Outer Region, causing third-class forces there to bow down. Now, they continue advancing deeper into the Outer Region! Know this, wherever His Majesty goes, the era is called one of splendid prosperity..."
"Alright, alright, now's not the ti for praises."
Leo Ray patted Moli's shoulder, smiled helplessly, and thought the old knights would likely not know the current situation.
"So finally, the disputes among the Human Clan have completely ended?"
The robust old knight's resolute face showed a hint of sigh, and the other knights around had similar expressions.
"Your Excellency, could it be you know of the matters outside?"
Leo Ray's face showed a touch of surprise as he curiously asked.
"I'm afraid I must start from when we awakened, Your Imperial Majesty."
Having learned of Leo Ray's identity, the robust old knight's voice clearly carried more respect.
With eyes full of wrinkles and a dreamy look, he began to describe the past that had been hidden for three thousand years.
"When we opened our eyes, we discovered ourselves and the Fortress mysteriously placed in this underground space, completely oblivious to what had occurred."
"In utter bewildernt, we stumbled up from the Fortress wall, took off our battle helts, and saw confusion and perplexity in each other's eyes."
"In our last mories, we were in battle with so enemy, but when we tried to recall specific details, sudden headaches struck as if that mory had been forcibly stripped away, leaving only scattered emotional fragnts like tension, fear, and despair."
"Not only that, but we also forgot many things, forgot who our adversary was, forgot the scenes of the battlefield, and forgot why we fought the enemy."
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expressions grew extrely solemn. Clearly, what was being described is imdiately following the end of the Era of Blankness.
Back then, the orphans of the Ten Thousand Clans collectively awoke from the ruins and wastelands, their previous hos and glorious civilizations nearly extinguished.
Among them, especially Fei'er and Elder Bing who also awoke, shared a deep empathy, although the two did not awaken imdiately after the Era of Blankness, yet the helplessness and bewildernt from forcibly stripped mories were remarkably similar.
"Though we have forgotten many things, one thing remains ingrained in our hearts: we are warriors of the Gray Thorn Kingdom, entrusted with the kingdom's honor and duty. Our final command was to defend this Fortress at all costs."
The robust old knight's face bore a noble expression as he continued: "Back then, after inventorying, we discovered a little over one thousand survived, while the rest of our comrades were nowhere to be found, not a single corpse."
Hearing this, Leo Ray pondered, nodding in realization. Clearly this was the "Lost Relic Effect", no ancient corpses existed within ancient relics or ruins left by the Ten Thousand Clans.
This applies not only to ancient relics but also to those few ancient cities and Lands of Divine Favor that survived the Era of Blankness, such as the Ice Stone City, Crystal Blue City, and City of Light, as well as this ancient human city.
The Ten Thousand Clans who did not survive the Era of Blankness vanished entirely in the river of ti like the blank history.
Considering this, Leo Ray once again showed a hint of confusion.
The cavalry that just ca to aid counted two legions, and with the soldiers guarding here, it's indisputably more than a thousand people.
Compounded with confusion, Leo Ray did not imdiately voice his inquiry but listened attentively to the tale.
"At that ti, after roughly understanding our circumstances, although filled with questions, we imdiately decided to deploy elite warriors back to the surface, seeking out the kingdom and other people of the Human Clan."
The robust old knight's eyes grew even more dreamy as he continued: "It was then we roughly learned the current situation: deities had inexplicably departed, no longer favoring this land, on the land that once held a glorious civilization of the Ten Thousand Clans remained only ruins and Demon Beasts roaming those ruins, with only a few, like us, rising again from bewildernt."
