It was normal for the mixed armies to have wavering morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just hadn't expected those profit-blinded human mercenaries and merchant groups to leave the main force at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they not afraid of death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or, in their eyes, are we the bait attracting the dark creatures?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah was analyzing human nature; her guess was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the human mercenary corps, a small faction believed that leaving the main force at this time would give them a higher chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invading armies were too numerous and would surely become a common target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying here, even if not used as cannon fodder, they would sooner or later be overwhelmed by dark creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the thinking of some clever individuals and was agreed upon by most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those human mercenaries slipped into the woods during the afternoon march and separated from us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They left in the direction to our left. It seems Sir Godfrey doesn't know their plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Godfrey is still in the camp; he thought those people had merely fallen behind and appears quite anxious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah waved her hand, dismissing the Sentinel Corps intelligence officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because not far away, Knight Godfrey, Grum Ironfist the dwarf, and Saelen the Blood Elf were walking towards the temporary tent with grim expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, we...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blunt Grum Ironfist began to speak. He had intended to state their purpose directly, but halfway through, he couldn't bring himself to say it, feeling it was too shameful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, they had already learned the truth about what happened with the mixed armies during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under their management, such an incident of abandoning teammates had occurred within the mixed armies; it was truly somewhat difficult to speak about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me say it. Your Majesty, those human mercenaries under our command...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah waved her hand, cutting Godfrey off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They left in the afternoon, moving in the direction to the left of the main force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were safe when they left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah didn't blame Godfrey; instead, she gave the three an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the three of them collectively sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't, and didn't want to, control the life or death of those people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was another world; they couldn't even guarantee their own lives, let alone others'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, regardless, Godfrey, Grum Ironfist, and Saelen had to give a reasonable explanation to the people under them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, there's a proverb in the south: fear not the number of beasts, but the disunity of warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their departure is actually a good thing, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah said with a smile, turning a bad thing into a good one. For Godfrey, Grum Ironfist, and Saelen, this was a way to save face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, the blood elf race is willing to follow your steps in this otherworld.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We dwarves are too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grum Ironfist and Saelen successively expressed their stance, indicating they would not break away from the Stoneheart Horde's main force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to those human mercenaries, the Stoneheart Horde clearly seemed more reliable; this was their wariness towards humans, developed from long periods of interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, I am very sorry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godfrey performed a knight's salute. He felt this was his dereliction of duty and that he needed to take responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, in front of these foreign clans, he felt those human mercenaries were a disgrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people had displayed the greedy, cowardly, and sinister side of humanity to the foreign clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a human, Godfrey felt ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Knight Godfrey unable to hold his head high, and he didn't know how to face the remaining humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, your bravery, your courage, you already proved it during the last dark beast tides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We know what kind of person you are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for those mercenaries who left, they don't care about you, and you can't control them, so why trouble yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dark Bat Hawks could attack at any moment. Wouldn't it be more reasonable for us to focus our energy on the enemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah's mental strength fluctuated slightly; she was encouraging Knight Godfrey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a critical combat moment, an Alpha-level powerhouse couldn't afford to have such low morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. I will fight bravely to prove to everyone that humans can also be valiant, and we do not fear any battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godfrey's gaze became much firmer, and he performed another knight's salute to Delilah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the matter of the human mercenaries deserting was closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four discussed the night's watch rotation for a while longer before leaving the temporary camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>West of the camp was the area where the mixed contingent was stationed and also the area they were responsible for guarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Godfrey, if you'll pardon my bluntness, among the humans I know, only you and King Harold are worthy of respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other humans are all spineless cowards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outspoken one was Grum Ironfist the dwarf. He was acknowledging Knight Godfrey and also consoling this newly made friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days, the three of them had led the mixed armies together, spending most of their time in each other's company, and had gained a clear understanding of each other's dispositions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godfrey's character was worthy of their friendship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The human kingdom is powerful and also exceedingly wise. Over countless years, it has nurtured innumerable mighty knights and mages; they are worthy of respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the human kingdom also has its sordid side. Over several thousand years, we have witnessed too much of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Godfrey, as an oath-keeper, upholding justice, leading everyone to survive, and completing the holy war against outsiders is far more worthy of remembrance than worrying about those despicable individuals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saelen seemed to know something of the knight's background and deeds; she persuaded Godfrey from a different perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keywords like oath-keeper, survival, holy war, and remembrance invigorated Knight Godfrey like glory itself, making his eyes shine ever brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, the timid are not worthy to bathe in a knight's glory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knight Godfrey stood straight and saluted. At this moment, he was like a sharp lance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his enemies were the dark creatures endangering everyone's lives.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.616Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","60805e82a1a502dfd1787bc00d88e933de61da163d97f338f757a9d2a2efb1d5","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-636","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-634",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
