Chapter 12: A Teacher who comes from Hell? IV

Listening to Xing Yu's question, Long Hao Chen couldn't help become somewhat shocked and after thinking deeply for a short while, he shook his head with an ignorant face.

Xing Yu's face revealed a rare smile, You are quite honest; you don't try to give a casual answer just to satisfy me. Not to mention you, even the Knight Temple cannot easily answer to this question. Precisely because of this question, regarding genuine knights, there are two branches of knights differentiated by the Knight Temple: the Retribution Knights, and the Guardian Knights.

Retribution Knights focus on attack. They wield dual weapons and fight with the combination of their mounts and their offensive holy arts. Their fighting capabilities are very high and their strength in the battlefield surpasses the strength of soldiers and assassins of the same rank.

Guardian Knights give priority to defense. They wield a weapon in a hand, a shield in the other one, and are the core of teams. They are proficient with assisting and recovery holy arts. Their fighting capabilities are perhaps weaker than Retribution Knights, but in collaborations, the Guardian Knights utility is way higher than Retribution Knights.

At this point, Xing Yu stopped for a little. Still looking at Long Hao Chen, he asked: Do you believe that there are more Retribution Knights or that there are more Guardian Knights?

Long Hao Chen thought, then said: There should be more Retribution Knights. You just said that the Retribution Knights offensive power are better.

Xing Yu shook his head: It is the opposite, we Knight Temple have a Guardian Knights ratio of 10: 1, compared to Retribution Knights.

Oh? Such a difference? But why? Long Hao Chen asked puzzled.

Xing Yu answered: Because we belong to the Temple Alliance. As the head of the six great Temples of the Temple Alliance, we Knight Temple mustnt consider only our own individual combat capabilities: we have to consider our partners as well. The reason why it is called Temple Alliance is that it is only once people belonging to these six vocation fight together can they have the greatest fighting efficiency. But as the teams core, the knight does not only have to consider his own attack and defense, but the protection of his allies as well. Thus, there are way more Guardian Knights than Retribution Knights.

Long Hao Chen understood some of his words, Teacher, then should I, in the future, become a Guardian Knight or a Retribution Knight?

Xing Yu lightly answered: You are the only one who can make the suitable choice. In this aspect, I cannot help you. Seeing your disposition, it would probably be more suitable for you to choose to become a Guardian Knight, but I am, personally, a Retribution Knight. What I can pass on to you in vast majority are abilities and skills used by Retribution Knights.

Teacher, I

Dont be impatient to answer. Xing Yu instantly interrupted Long Hao Chen, You have a year to think deeply over this. A year later, you will tell me your answer.

Yes.

One year later, in Hao Yue city.

Walking on a wide street in Hao Yue city, Long Hao Chens eyes looked curious and surprised.

What a big city! The street was at least 16.6 meters (5 Zhang) wide, and shops stood on both sides of the street. There was an incessant stream of horses and it was extremely noisy, this citys burst of people couldnt possibly be compared with Odins: it was as vastly different as between heaven and earth.

In the southern part of the Temple Alliance, Hao Yue was a middle sized city. But it was the first time Long Hao Chen, who lived from childhood in Odin, got to see a city of this scale.
