A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007: Chapter 694 Blade of Judgment_3 Chapter 1007: Chapter 694 Blade of Judgment_3 Klay remained silent.

“Remember, Klay,” Ben continued, “building a career is a good thing, but first, you have to be clear about your duties. We are the Blade of Judgment. On the day we joined, we were told that we are the mortal force of the Tribunal, that we fight for the Tribunal, for the protection of Humans, or else do you think your current body isn't cool enough, and planning to turn into one of those 'iron shells'?”

As Ben said this, he patted Klay's shoulder. The situation of the Night Guard was something almost everyone in Arkham City knew about. In life, they were the most loyal warriors of the Tribunal, and after death, their souls bound to the Steel Battle Armor to continue serving the Tribunal as Undead warriors.

Of course, in any other place, even speaking such would hardly be acceptable to most people, not to mention that the armor of Night Guard looked utterly evil, no matter how you looked at them. It would be easier for people to accept if a Necromancer had used a Spell to extract a living person's soul and seal it within Steel Armor as an enslaved servant.

The reason why people accepted the Night Guard was that, even during the day, these Steel Guardians would tirelessly patrol the streets, completely indifferent to sunlight. Moreover, it was common to see them interacting with the Priests of the Church or the Sacred Knights, and that was why everyone accepted the Tribunal's explanation.

After all, the churches of so many deities were here, including Rosanda, the Dawn Lord, who abhors Undead Creatures the most. If it were just one Church, one might say they were deceived or bought by the Tribunal, but surely not all the deities were blind.

“That's not too bad either.”

Upon hearing Ben's jest, Klay reached out and touched the Tribunal insignia on his collar.

“If I were to die, and my soul were to be taken by the Tribunal, then return to watch my daughter grow up, get married, have children, I think that would be quite nice.”

“So you're saying that even in death, you wouldn't leave your daughter alone? That's pretty rough on her…”

However, before Ben could finish speaking, suddenly, a dark shadow streaked across the sky. A howling wind arose in just an instant, and a deep, indescribable fear and shudder erupted from deep within their hearts, making them feel as if they had lost all their strength, only capable of slumping on the ground like a puddle of mud, eyes wide with terror, watching the shadow that swept across the sky and descended within the fortress.

It was a Giant Dragon.

“Gods above, what on Earth did we just see?”

Ben exclaimed with wide eyes, almost screaming, fortunate that the Goblins and Giants within the fortress were not faring any better; trembling, they knelt, utterly unaware of the two men watching not far away.

“Quick, we need to get out of here!”

Ben bit his tongue hard, the severe pain distracting him from the fear. He grabbed Klay, trying to take him away.

However, Klay shook his head.

“No, I can't leave.”

“Are you insane? That's a Giant Dragon!”

“I know that's a Giant Dragon,” Klay said, turning to face Ben.

“But this is an opportunity. What is this place? Why is there a Giant Dragon here? What are they planning to do? I don't believe that these people have gone through so much trouble just to fill a Giant Dragon's stomach.”

With that, Klay stood up again.

“I'm going to investigate, maybe I can get some valuable intelligence.”

“You…”

Ben reached out his hand towards Klay.

“Have you gone mad? That's a Giant Dragon!”

But Klay didn't say another word, just stared at Ben, who shook his head.

“I'm not going to get myself killed, and there are others I need to look after. If you want to die, go ahead… anyway, the Tribunal's compensation should be enough to take care of an orphan and widow.”

After saying this, Ben huffed and disappeared into the bushes. Meanwhile, Klay turned his gaze back to the fortress, then took a deep breath.

He then bent down and started moving toward the fortress.
