"Team commander, why are you so polite towards her? If you want, we can kidnap her and throw her into your room. As long as you two sleep together for a night, she would be yours, haha!"
The few members of the militia behind Knite suggest as they tried to threaten Jessica even more; as they said that, they grinned at Jessica viciously.
For a moment, the casual and relaxed atmosphere instantly got covered by dark clouds. Although the neighbors hated Knite, they couldn't express their anger as this man was now a commander in the military.
Husky was furious after he was shouted at, but he didn't know how to respond to that. His head was a little slow, and perhaps he was thinking about who was going to protect his sister after he dies on the defense wall.
Fei's sharp sense told him that the simple-minded man was looking at him.
At the moment, Jessica got her weakness pointed out by Knite; this girl was afraid that her big brother would die because of her.
After seeing the expression on everyone's face, Knite laughed and walked forward; he was reaching for Jessica's hand.
Suddenly –
"Hey, you have laughed for too long. Catch your breath; otherwise, you might choke."
After Fei finished the last piece of the honey bread, he wiped his lips, stood up, and slapped away Knite's hand.
Then, he looked at Knite and said earnestly, "Ok, let me interrupt a little. I might be wrong, but Mr. Knite, aren't you a team commander in the militia? I believe Emile is a formal soldier of Zenit, so your status is technically lower than him. How can you command him and move him onto the defense wall?"
The smile froze on Knite's face; he didn't know how to respond.
Jessica was the person who reacted the fastest.
Her beautiful big eyes lit up, and she asked as she grabbed onto Fei's arm, "Is it true?" her voice was shaking.
"Of course. The militia is only temporary, and some of the members of the militia are given titles to make it easier to organize. Although they could also accumulate military merits, they couldn't get promoted to nobles. Besides, the militia might get disbanded after the war; it is all up to the Military Headquarter of Zenit."
Fei pointed at Knite and continued, "These guys are just trying to make themselves look more powerful! They are like dragons that are made from paper; nothing to be scared of!"
"Ah! Great!" Jessica was so relieved that she jumped into the air.
To this girl, the last few minutes was the darkest moment in her life, and Fei's words brought energy and hope back into her life.
30 seconds ago, she was thinking about accepting Knite's proposal, so her brother didn't have to be in great danger; she was planning to use herself to save her brother. Although her big brother was a little simple-minded, he was her only family. She couldn't even imagine how desperate it would feel if she sees her brother's broke corpse on the defense wall.
What Fei said pretty much saved her life.
However, Fei's appearance destroyed Knite's plan.
Knite walked up and grabbed onto Fei's finger that was pointing at him.
He shouted angrily, "Hey, you weak man! How dare you point at me and disrespect me? Do you want to die? I will break this finger of yours to teach you a lesson!"
"No!" all the people in the yard screamed in fear.
However, Knite wasn't going to listen to them.
As he sneered, he used all of his strength and tried to break that finger; he was going to make this handsome man pay for destroying his plan.
Soon, the vicious grin froze on his face.
He felt like he wasn't trying to break a finger but an iron spear.
It didn't matter how hard he tried; he couldn't even move this man's hand a little, let alone breaking his finger.
After a while, Knite suddenly felt a tremendous amount of force coming at him from this finger; as if a mountain was thrown onto his shoulders, his knees instantly bend, and he couldn't help but kneel onto the ground.
"Huh? Why are you kneeling down? Are you trying to apologize?"
Fei laughed and moved aside. In the eyes of others, Knite suddenly kneeled down towards Fei as if he was apologizing.
"You..."
Knite used all of his strength and tried to stand up; his face turned red, and his veins bulged. However, didn't matter how hard he worked, he couldn't even move for one millimeter; that force was just too dominating.
Soon, his knees sunk into the ground. It was fortunate that there weren't tiles on the ground; otherwise, his knees would have been destroyed.
The four people behind Knite realized that something was wrong; they rushed over and tried to help.
Fei just looked at them and released the power of his Barbarian Character a little. Without pause, all those four men also kneeled down and couldn't move anymore.
Knite suddenly realized what was happening after he looked at Fei who was still smiling calmly.
He knew that he ran into a master warrior.
"This man's power is just unimaginable! He must be a Star-level Warrior!"
Knite sighed in his mind and thought, "Damn! This beautiful Jessica got to know a Star-level Warrior and got engaged to him? It looks like I can't have this beautiful girl to myself."
Although he felt regretful, he had been living on the street for a long time and knew what he should do and what he shouldn't do. Therefore, he immediately apologized to Jessica and begged for forgiveness.
Jessica didn't know what was happening, and she didn't know how to respond.
"Alright, Jessica forgives you. Stand up."
Fei smiled and waved his hand, and the huge pressure on these five men disappeared. Knite and his four subordinates could finally breathe freely, and they quickly got up; there were ten deep circular kneeling marks on the ground.
"Thank... thank you! Thank you for your mercy!" Knite quickly thanked Fei.
He understood the situation now.
"Since this man is in the military, he must be a high-level commander with this level of strength. If this is the case, I should try to get to know him. In many stories told by the traveling poets, from an exchange of blows friendship grows! This is the perfect opportunity!" he thought.
"Let me give you some recommendations. If you really like Jessica, you should pursue her like a real man and protect her like a real man. Threatening others like bandits won't work..." Fei was planning to teach Knite some proper concepts around love, but he felt like he was talking to a cow.
After he said a few words, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Overall, don't come and bother Jessica again! Also, I will let you guys in on a secret; Emile is going to become King Alexander His Majesty's guard! Don't bully him anymore! Otherwise, the consequences will be severe!"
"Ah? Emile this idiot is going to become the guard of the No.1 Commander of the Battle Zone?"
Knite couldn't believe his ears.
"It is obvious that this powerful man won't lie to me. So... if this idiot wants to, he could go anywhere in Dual-Flags City without being troubled? Also, it looks like this mysterious man likes Jessica... This family is going to take off!"
After thinking about that, Knite looked at Husky differently.
He knew that he probably couldn't get close to this mysterious man, but he was able to flatter Husky and befriend him.
"If I get the chance to meet the legendary King Alexander of Chambord through Husky, I would be able to die happy on the defense wall!" he thought.
"Ok, that's all for today. You guys can leave now."
Fei waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Knite wanted to stay a little longer, but he had to leave quietly since Fei said so.
"Huh? Wait up!" Fei thought of something and shouted.
Whoosh! A dash of gold light shot into Knite's hand.
As Knite was wondering about what happened, he saw that mysterious man pointing at the boar leg on the ground and heard him say, "You can leave the meat here; I will treat it as if I bought it from you. Since you actively joined the militia, your courage should be praised. Half a month of salary shouldn't be thrown away like this. The situation in Dual-Flags City isn't that great, so the militia might have to help with the defense of the city soon. Make sure that you guys eat full meals and accumulate enough stamina; try your best to survive this war!"
Knite and his subordinates were stunned a little.
They looked at Fei and saluted. Perhaps they just learned it, their salute wasn't that proper. Even though that was the case, their spirits were there.
After that, they turned around and left with the gold coin.
Fei looked at the five of them and sighed in his mind, "I hope you guys are still alive after the war."
