PNB Chapter 1706 Kratos? The God of War?
Chapter 1706 Kratos? The God of War?
This guy actually knows Lu Li?!
Almost instantly, Lin Qinfeng and Xing Anlin instinctively assumed a defensive posture!
It should be noted that the origins of these two individuals are a secret that cannot be revealed to the Demon Realm or even the outside world.
Those who know their true relationship with Lu Li, besides their own people and the helpers Lu Li invited, are only Yong Ye and His pursuers!
Given Lu Li's meticulous and cautious nature, even to the point of needing to take extra precautions when a dog comes along,
They will certainly inform them of any reinforcements or other information they need to know.
The sudden appearance of a metal can without warning might actually be a pursuer from Eternal Night!
The fact that Liu Wenjian cooperated with that guy so much, calling both of them over, suggests that he had likely fallen for that guy's tricks and was now out of his mind!
We need to find a way to get Liu Wenjian back to his senses as soon as possible!
Seeing Lin Qinfeng and Xing Anlin's tense expressions and wary postures, the unidentified armored soldiers immediately guessed that the two were suspicious of his identity.
After letting out two soft, hoarse laughs, he looked at Xing Anlin and tentatively asked:
"This must be Lord Xing Anlin, right?"
Xing Anlin: "?!"
"Holy crap? I didn't expect you to have done your homework so thoroughly!"
"They even found out that I'm Brother Li's top warrior?"
"As expected, my low-key and unassuming style still can't hide the domineering aura I exude."
"You are indeed a formidable opponent!"
Liu Wenjian: "..."
Lin Qinfeng: "..."
Unidentified armored soldier: "..."
"Ahem, identity confirmed..."
A slightly awkward cough came from beneath the heavy helmet.
As the soldier spoke, he got up from the ground.
The body, which was already as tall as the small mountain of corpses next to it when it was sitting on the ground, looked like a mobile fortress when it stood up.
He was almost half a head taller than Liu Wenjian, who was the tallest of the three!
But despite this extremely imposing demeanor, he bowed deeply to the three of them and spoke in an extremely respectful tone:
"Kratos, commander of the Second Company of the Loyalty Chapter, salutes you!"
"Please forgive my presumptuous act of not being able to remove the helmet, because my physical body depends on the life support system of this armor to survive."
Kratos?
Even Xing Anlin, who was used to seeing big scenes, was somewhat stunned at this moment.
He subconsciously retorted:
"The God of War?"
"Heh, I certainly had a good time in that battle before the White Jade Year, but I'm far from deserving the title of 'God of War'." The armored warrior who called himself Kratos stretched out his large hand and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
Xing Anlin: "..."
Liu Wenjian added at the opportune moment:
"This guy's combat strength is indeed quite astonishing."
“All those demon princes combined were no match for him.”
Xing Anlin and Lin Qinfeng: "???"
"You bastard, didn't you brag to me and Sister Lin before, saying you weren't even putting in any effort?"
Xing Anlin's eyes widened, his face showing a hurt expression of being deceived.
“That’s right, he was the one chasing and killing the enemy the whole time, I didn’t even have to lift a finger.” Liu Wenjian pointed at Kratos:
"How can you say you exerted your strength if you didn't even participate in the battle?"
Xing Anlin: "...What you said makes so much sense that I can't refute it..."
"Demon King, teach me! I want to learn your skills at showing off!"
Lin Qinfeng put one hand to her forehead, looked at Kratos who had straightened up, and asked in confusion:
"Where did you come from? And why did you help Liu Wenjian kill those demon princes?"
"Did Lu Li send you to help us?"
"I come from the Endless Forest." Kratos answered Lin Qinfeng's questions one by one, calmly and deliberately.
"Helping Liu Wenjian kill the Demon Prince was simply to increase efficiency and ensure that my mission could be completed smoothly."
"I was not sent by Lord Lu Li, but by order of His Majesty the Emperor to come and provide support."
"However, His Majesty the Emperor is only doing this to repay Lord Lu Li's kindness... so it's perfectly acceptable to interpret it as Lord Lu Li sending me to help you."
"Oh my, it really is the reinforcements Brother Li brought..." Xing Anlin said with a relaxed tone, temporarily relieved.
Lin Qinfeng was amazed by Kratos's incredible feat of single-handedly defeating a group of demon princes, and asked with a hint of doubt:
"While the situation in the Demon Realm isn't entirely under control lately, there doesn't seem to be a need for external assistance..."
"Wait, is there some trouble we haven't noticed happening?"
"Where exactly did it come from?"
“Not this world.” Kratos shook his head.
"Could it be outside the Demon Realm?" Xing Anlin interjected.
"Don't tell me we're jungling here and our base crystal gets destroyed...!"
"Uh..." Kratos sounded confused, clearly not understanding what 'jungling' and 'the crystal exploded' meant.
However, after two seconds, he firmly shook his head:
"Not at all."
"The specific details will require His Majesty the Emperor to discuss them with you in person."
"I have come here only to serve as a trailblazer."
"Your Majesty the Emperor...?" Lin Qinfeng and the other two looked thoughtful, and for a moment no one spoke.
After a long silence, Liu Wenjian finally spoke and asked:
"From the moment we met until now, you haven't said what race you belong to."
"And the Emperor you speak of, can his will represent your entire race?"
"Of course!" Kratos answered decisively.
"His Majesty the Emperor's instructions are the only ones, besides Lord Lu Li, that can represent the will of our race!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenjian and the others' brows twitched, and a look of apprehension appeared in their eyes.
But Kratos's subsequent additions left them puzzled once again.
"As for our race... hehe, esteemed Demon King Liu Wenjian, we are Gobelins."
"Gobelin?" Xing Anlin craned his neck, his face full of disbelief.
"Bushgomen? You mean your race, those little green dwarves who could probably jump up and not even reach my second brother?"
"Do not make jokes!"
"If you really are Gobelins, then why are you so big?"
"Could it be that when you were born, your mom mixed protein powder with formula and gave it to you instead of feeding you milk powder?"
Kratos was not angry despite Xing Anlin's rather offensive words.
He patiently explained:
“My original body wasn’t this huge… This metal shell is just a necessary device to maintain my vital signs.”
“But I’ve never heard of any emperor in Gobelins,” Liu Wenjian questioned.
"You guys are really not some kind of mutant?"
"We are the real Gobelins," Kratos nodded again in affirmation.
"Just like what you all saw in the Demon Realm."
