If the Bronze Black Cross could survive the struggle between the two God Slayers.
If the New King could gain a firm foothold under the threat of the Marquis.
Then it would be easy.
Those who should pledge allegiance would pledge allegiance, and those who should show respect would show respect.
In short, when immortals fight, mortals suffer; this is always the law of this world.
However, compared to the Magic Societies, each with their own ulterior motives, Bai Chen didn't have so many hidden agendas.
As a modern person, even after transmigrating and instantly rising to a high position with the help of luck, he truly couldn't exude the domineering aura of a true king or emperor.
Perhaps because he was used to being a slacker, Bai Chen didn't abruptly change himself due to the change in environment.
After finishing his morning meal, Bai Chen leisurely made his way to the courtyard.
He held a long, straight rapier in his hand.
This was a sword Bai Chen had asked a member of a Magic Society he encountered on the road to give him.
A very ordinary knight's sword.
It had no excessive ornate decorations, only subtle patterns carved into the hilt.
Perhaps it was a tradition from ancient times, but European knight's swords usually didn't come with a scabbard, meant to be drawn and used immediately.
He swung it a few times casually.
A rapier weighing over ten catties would have been impossible for Bai Chen's past physique to wield for long.
But his enhanced physical prowess was enough for him to disregard this "light as a feather" weight.
However, after Bai Chen mimicked a few swings based on movie scenes in his mind, he found it a bit boring.
This wasn't a game, after all.
Creak~!
At this moment, a sound came from behind him.
Bai Chen subconsciously turned his head and saw a blue and white figure flash past behind the railing.
"Is anyone there?"
No one answered.
Liliana, hiding behind the railing, covered her mouth, daring not to make a sound.
After more than ten seconds, seeing that no sound came, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since the young man who rescued her yesterday revealed his identity, Liliana had developed some resistance and fear towards Bai Chen due to her experiences in the Balkan Peninsula.
If she could avoid seeing him, that would be for the best.
But things didn't go as planned.
"What are you doing hiding here?"
The voice from above startled Liliana.
When she looked up and saw that it was him, she instinctively covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.
"Are you that afraid of me?"
Bai Chen chuckled.
However, he also understood the reason.
As the young lady of the Bronze Black Cross, even as a young girl, she had come to understand the terror of a God Slayer through osmosis.
Not to mention, she had experienced it firsthand once.
Liliana immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"Then let's not talk about that. How is little Yuuri?"
Bai Chen asked.
As if calming herself, Liliana paused, then spoke in a tender voice.
"Mari Gu is still a bit weak, so she's still recuperating."
"That's right, she's not like you knights; she's just a little girl with high spiritual power talent."
Bai Chen nodded.
"What are you doing out so early?"
"...Morning practice. It's Master's request."
Liliana said.
"Diana?"
While muttering, Bai Chen seemed to think of something, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"Just take me with you."
He was worried about not having anyone to spar with, and now that such a good opportunity presented itself, he naturally didn't want to miss it.
"Ah?"
Liliana, who was already a bit confused, could only lead Bai Chen, step by step, to her training ground.
And her master, Diana, had already been waiting there for a long time.
"Liliana, from today onwards, training resumes, I... we..."
In the training ground, Diana had already changed into her training clothes and was standing in the center of the field with a knight's sword, waiting.
Hearing the sound, she looked up, preparing to explain today's training curriculum, when she suddenly showed a look as if she had seen a ghost.
..."King, no, I apologize for not greeting you in time, I didn't know when Your Majesty would grace us with your presence."
It was a completely subconscious single-knee kneel.
Bai Chen looked at the adult like that, feeling both sorrow and amusement.
It seemed that the people of this world already had very severe God Slayer PTSD symptoms.
However, he didn't waste words and went straight to the point.
And after hearing his request, Diana and Liliana were instantly stunned.
"Eh?"
They both uttered a surprised syllable in unison, and Diana couldn't even hold her knight's sword, letting it drop directly to the ground.
..."How could I, a mere person, dare to overstep and instruct the King?"
Liliana, standing nearby, also found it unbelievable.
God Slayers are all peerless in power, capable of easily defeating all the skills and sorcery of all mortals with just their Authority.
With Authority, why would one still need to learn swordsmanship from a teacher?
"This is where you're wrong."
Bai Chen shook his head, a faint smile on his face.
"While Authority is strong, it doesn't represent everything. Moreover, just consider it an unreasonable request from me; just agree to it."
Authority is the strongest.
Although there is some truth to that, it has also led people to form fixed Concept.
Not all God Slayers succeeded in slaying gods as cunningly as he did.
In other words.
His first god-slaying indeed relied on luck.
But if placed in a completely fair situation.
An ordinary person with no power to tie a chicken, and a well-trained knight with exquisite martial arts.
The latter clearly has a higher success rate in slaying a god.
