Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

Tsk, he still lacks the strength! If he had unlocked an awesome mod or become the king, he would definitely have readily agreed to the kind and understanding Sword Saintess!

But that won't work now, since he hasn't unlocked any overpowered mods and isn't the king of the kingdom.

But in any case, a promise must be made to the Sword Saintess. After all, she is a young lady, so if a man makes any promises in return, does that mean he wants to be a heartless scumbag?

"I will marry you, Sword Saintess. This is a promise I, as a nobleman, must make!"

Liu Tianyu gazed "affectionately" into the Sword Saintess's grey eyes with his obsidian eyes, then reached out and grasped her jade-like hands, speaking with utmost solemnity.

"Can……"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's offer to marry her, the Sword Saintess was about to ask what obstacles she might face when Liu Tianyu interrupted her.

"But unfortunately, that's not possible now! Because the gap between us is just too big! So big that I can only look up to you! I hope that in the future, when I have achieved something and narrowed the gap between us, I will formally propose to you!"

After saying that, Liu Tianyu put on an extremely sad expression, just like a knight or prince in a fairy tale who had encountered misfortune.

Just as he finished speaking, his body was pulled away by an uncontrollable force, and then his head was placed inside a pair of fragrant, soft breasts. The intense warmth almost suffocated him!

"To receive your promise makes me the happiest woman in the world! Please rest assured, whether it's ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime, I will wait for you to fulfill this promise!"

The Sword Saintess gently embraced Liu Tianyu in her flawless body, stroking his head with both hands, her perfect face filled with a happy smile.

Looking at the Sword Saintess's unpretentious demeanor and sensing her rapidly beating heart, Liu Tianyu sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to reach out and embrace the Sword Saintess,

The Sword Saintess suddenly spoke:

"Lord Liu Tianyu, may you call me by my name, Marian Walnet, from now on?"

“…Marianne!”

Liu Tianyu was silent for a moment before speaking.

Hearing Liu Tianyu call her name, Marian hugged Liu Tianyu even tighter, almost making him breathless.

It wasn't until Marian noticed that she blushed slightly and gently released Liu Tianyu.

And so, the two, who had already established a relationship, spent some more time cuddling in the room.

Chapter Sixty: Goblin Slayer Joins the Team

"Hehehe, my merciful sir, it seems you're quite the ladies' man!"

When Liu Tianyu reunited with his troops, Elaine whispered with a meaningful smile on her face.

"Why are you so gossipy!"

With a dark expression, Liu Tianyu reached out and pulled Alain's face away from his.

"So, while I was unconscious, you brought me up here and then went to continue clearing out goblins?"

After Liu Tianyu finished speaking, he looked at Elaine with a curious expression.

"Of course! My merciful lord, it was I, Lord Elean, who personally carried you out of the sewers."

After confirming your safety, I went back to the sewers and slaughtered all those ugly goblins.

However, that big white crocodile is quite well-behaved. It's not far from the entrance to the sewer. If you want to do anything, just go over there!

And also, the hot springs in this Supreme Temple are absolutely amazing! Soaking in them feels like a complete uplift!

Liu Tianyu only asked one question, but Eleanor started talking non-stop.

"Alright, alright, I know everything, just shut up! Ah! You're all better now?"

Liu Tianyu quickly waved his hand at Eleanor; if he didn't stop him, this guy would probably talk for ages.

Immediately afterward, Liu Tianyu turned his head and saw the Goblin Slayer group, who were now fully armed. The leader of the Goblin Slayers was wearing that tattered suit of armor again.

Besides, the witch also came along. She had returned to her usual languid self. A trip to Water City to relax seemed to have lifted her spirits somewhat, though whether it was genuine or just an act was anyone's guess.

"Ah! Thanks to your help, I was able to continue killing goblins!"

Goblin Slayer nodded and responded indifferently.

"The first thing you did after coming back to life was to kill goblins. I'm actually quite curious, do you hate goblins or love goblins?"

There's a saying that goes, "The deeper the love, the deeper the hate," and I think that perfectly describes your relationship with the goblins!

Looking at the still indifferent Goblin Slayer, Liu Tianyu asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"I don't know. All I know is that my purpose in life is to kill goblins!"

Despite Liu Tianyu's joke, Goblin Slayer remained indifferent.

"How indifferent! By the way, do you want to join my unit? Don't you like killing goblins? But with just one person and a small squad, the number of goblins you can eliminate is ultimately limited!"

How many goblins can you kill in a year? Hundreds? Or thousands?

However, if you could organize an army, the efficiency of eliminating goblins would increase exponentially! You could kill thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands in a year!

In the battle against the Orc Blademaster, you have proven yourself to be an outstanding hero; without you holding off the Orc Blademaster...

Both my troops and the adventurers would have suffered heavy casualties, but it was because of you that everyone was able to escape with their lives!

Therefore, I sincerely invite you to join my army. Once you join, I have only one requirement: your loyalty to me. From then on, whenever there is news of goblins appearing, I will allow you to lead my troops into battle!

Faced with Goblin Slayer's indifference, Liu Tianyu suddenly changed his tone, speaking sincerely, and then extended his right hand towards Goblin Slayer.

In fact, after the Sword Saintess joined the army, Liu Tianyu's interest in Goblin Slayer declined sharply.

However, although the Sword Saintess is now in the military ranks, she cannot be allowed to take action unless necessary to prevent others from discovering their secrets.

We can't let the Goblin Slayer we finally managed to rescue go to waste, otherwise we'll feel like we've been cheated!

As for Eleanor? He's a lord now, not a hero. We'll have to quickly allocate him a fiefdom once we get back.

After all, his army's salary, food, drink, and shelter all depend on him now!

"..."

After listening to Liu Tianyu's long speech and seeing his outstretched right hand, Goblin Slayer fell into a long silence.

Little did he know, his teammates behind him were already incredibly surprised.

"Viscount Storm personally invited Goblin Slayer to join him?"

"This is part of the necessary training!"

"Hahaha, Godslayer, it seems I'll have to call you Noble Godslayer from now on!"

"Hey! Ockborgh, don't forget, you'll be traveling with us later! Don't let this human nobleman fool you!"

Seeing Liu Tianyu invite Goblin Slayer, his teammates had different expressions. The most intense reaction came from the Fairy Archer, who looked like she was ready to fight him to the death if he dared to accept!

"hehe--"

Compared to Goblin Slayer's teammates, the witch looked at Liu Tianyu and Goblin Slayer with a hint of amusement.

"After joining you, can I still be an adventurer?"

After a long silence, Goblin Slayer asked whether he could still maintain his identity as an adventurer, rather than about killing goblins.

"Clam?"

Liu Tianyu was also a little confused. He originally thought that Goblin Slayer would ask about goblins or freedom, but instead he was asked about the adventurer's identity, which made Liu Tianyu's expression twitch slightly.

"Ahem, you don't need to worry about this at all. You should know that it's not uncommon for nobles to become adventurers, although it's rare!"

Not to mention, once you are promoted to a gold-level adventurer, you will automatically become a powerful noble.

Also, you don't actually think I'd just lord you over, do you? That's impossible!

However, I will knight you. Once you agree, I can immediately perform the investiture ceremony for you in this sacred and supreme temple!

So, Goblin Slayer Ark, what's your answer?

Liu Tianyu took a deep breath and then explained everything clearly before returning the choice to Goblin Slayer.

After listening to Liu Tianyu's words, Goblin Slayer stood up straight, even more so than when he was standing at attention before his transmigration.

"I promise you."

Not long after, Goblin Slayer finally provided the answer.

"Very good. Kneel down on one knee before me, right fist clenched and placed on your heart, head bowed looking at the floor. Very good, quite standard. Perhaps you've done a knightly salute before?"

Seeing that Goblin Slayer agreed, Liu Tianyu's lips curled up slightly, and then he said.

Following Liu Tianyu's instructions, Goblin Slayer swiftly and respectfully performed the actions Liu Tianyu had instructed.

Seeing Goblin Slayer's movements and postures, which were exactly the same as those of the militia captain, Liu Tianyu was slightly surprised, but he quickly realized what was going on. Just as he was about to try to draw the sword from his waist, he found that it was empty.

Yeah, he just came out of the Sword Maiden's room not long ago, he was wearing casual clothes, what sword did he have!

"Clang!" Just as Liu Tianyu was feeling a bit awkward, the fully armed Eleanor next to him quietly drew a half-sword from his waist and handed it to Liu Tianyu.

Liu Tianyu silently accepted the half-sword from Elaine, placed it on Goblin Slayer's left shoulder, and then said:

"Now repeat after me!"

Goblin Slayer nodded to indicate that he understood.

"I swear my loyalty to you, the rightful ruler of Stormwind. As long as I breathe my last, I will be your faithful subordinate. When you need me, I will fight your enemies to the bitter end... In the end, I will uphold your rightful rule and your rightful heir! x2"

Each time Liu Tianyu recited a line, Goblin Slayer would repeat it. After the oath was completed, Liu Tianyu chuckled and said:

"Very good! Under the witness of the God-Emperor, you have completed the solemn oath, Ark. May you keep this oath forever and demonstrate your courage and loyalty."

After speaking, Liu Tianyu moved the half-sword that was on Goblin Slayer's left shoulder to his right shoulder, and then sheathed the sword.

"From this day forward, you are my knight. This sword, though not an enchanted weapon, nor a precious weapon forged from adamantite or mithril, is still quite good. Consider it a gift for your oath!"

Liu Tianyu grasped the half-sword with both hands and handed it to Goblin Slayer. Goblin Slayer stood up, lowered his head slightly, and took the half-sword with his gloved hands.

"clap clap"

The moment Goblin Slayer received the half-sword, Eleanor, standing next to Liu Tianyu, clapped first, his hands clapping with extra force as he did so with the fish-scale armor he wore.

"clap clap"

Once someone took the lead, the rest of the people naturally started clapping as well. However, with so few people, the sound wasn't very loud, but the atmosphere was there.

When Liu Tianyu saw Goblin Slayer Ark's name appear in the troop list, a delighted smile spread across his face.

"Oh dear, have I missed something important? Why is everyone so excited?"

Just then, a gentle and kind voice came from over; it was the Sword Saintess.

However, the Sword Saintess now is quite different from when we first met.

Her walking was somewhat hesitant, yet it possessed a kind of imperfect beauty.

In addition, she changed out of her original harlot attire and into a more normal nun style, I suppose.

Her long, beautiful blonde hair, reaching to her hips, was draped in a white nun's veil, and a golden cross pendant symbolizing the supreme god adorned her slender, snow-white neck.

Her upper body was covered by a white sleeveless bodysuit, the undulating Alps making her chest appear exceptionally full.

Her lower body was clad in a white tulle skirt that reached the ground and trailed to her knees, making her appear graceful and elegant. Her waist and hips were quite shapely, and the long skirt clung tightly to her body, making the curves connecting her waist and hips particularly alluring.

Those long, voluptuous legs were encased in glossy white stockings, while her slender, white-stockinged feet were hidden inside a pair of black high heels.

If the Sword Maiden initially gave the impression of a holy prostitute, yet possessed a purity that aroused a desire to defile her.

Now, she gives the impression of a mature and elegant noblewoman, still pure and holy, yet full of captivating charm.

Chapter Sixty-One: The Girl and the Knight

The Sword Saintess's appearance has now undergone a complete transformation, except that her eyes are still covered by a black cloth.

Of course, this is all thanks to Liu Tianyu.

"I don't want you to go out in public dressed like a prostitute anymore. Change into a nun's habit that looks like something out of the High Temple!"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's words, the Sword Saintess wanted to object, but faced with his firm stance, she chose to obey.

"The Sword, the Saintess of the Sword!"

Looking at the Sword Saintess, who exuded a noble and holy aura and resembled a noblewoman, the priestess's lips trembled.

"Well, Lady Sword Saintess, you've come at the right time. Verna's magic can't teleport so many of us at once."

I need your help to cast a teleportation spell to send us back to Stormwind Territory, and the Scourge in Stormwind Territory also needs your assistance!
