They were dumbfounded, as if time had been frozen.

Gerard's decision caught them off guard.

They had all been prepared for the congregation to be treated very excessively, but when this verdict was announced...... Totally beyond imagination.

They feel that Xiu is in a catastrophe, and they feel that it is very unfair to Xiu.

They feel a little powerless because they feel that they can't help with anything; And I feel guilty because I feel that someone who has helped me has not even the ability to help him share a little punishment.

They are all descendants of the three clans of the Mandate of Heaven, and although they do not live in their own families, they have all received education from their own families.

The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, which is the most basic morality of a knight, and it is also the code in the hearts of all the young girls present who have a knight's dream in their hearts. All of them had been helped by Xiu and now they could only watch him suffer from the sidelines, and these children naturally felt uncomfortable, and they felt that their morals had been challenged.

When these young and vigorous young men and girls whose knightly blood was still boiling in their hearts were ready to defy Gerald's decision, this appointment made them dumbfounded.

But they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

At least... It's much, much better than watching him get punished.

Xiu looked at Gerald quietly, his eyes like an ancient well, calm and waveless.

After a while, he lowered his head.

"Yes."

Xiu's calmness was somewhat unexpected by Gerald.

"You don't seem surprised?" Gerald was a little curious.

"You don't let anyone die senselessly. At least you won't let your soldiers die in the whip of the barracks. A pair of purple crystals clearly reflected a smile on the corner of Gerald's mouth.

"Is there any of you who disagree?" Gerald looked lightly at the twenty or so knights behind him.

"Nope." Their answers were very neat and consistent. There were no objections.

They are all happy for Xiu, how can they have objections?

"Then it's decided. But—" Gerald looked at Xiu with a playful expression, "Do you think this is going to happen?" ”

"One thousand nine hundred and twenty Honkai beasts." Xiu said suddenly.

Gerald's smile retracted.

"Oh?" Gerald looked at Xiu with interest.

"I owe you 1,920 lashes, so I'll pay you back with 1,920 Honkai Beasts." Xiu didn't seem to realize what this number meant, so he made a promise in doing so, "A Honkai beast whip, it shouldn't be a loss." ”

Gerald almost burst out laughing.

He no longer knows whether he should laugh carefully because of his innocence or at the point where he wants to laugh at himself and make a lot of money.

Maybe this idea is the one who should laugh at it the most.

He was just about to say something to Xiu, but Xiu continued, "I don't have anything but to fight the Honkai Beast, and I can't do anything to pay this debt, and even I can't beat the Honkai Beast now, but I can always do it in the future." Maybe in a few years I'll be able to defeat Honkaimon. ”

Gerald looked at the little child earnestly.

Beneath his snow-white hair were clear amethyst-like eyes. In his eyes, there was an extremely serious look.

He really planned to use more than 1,920 Honkai Beasts to repay the 1,900 whips.

It suddenly dawned on him that things were getting interesting.

"Okay, I'll give it. One thousand nine hundred and twenty Collapse Beasts, not one less. Until you pay your debts, you'll always be a lowly soldier in my hands, you know. Gerard said this meaningfully.

"Okay." Xiu nodded, "It's just, I can't pay it off in a short time..."

At this time, a hand was gently pressed on Xiu's shoulder.

"Xiu, it's not your business alone."

Xiu looked back and saw Anthony's resolute face.

He has always restrained himself with the requirements of knights, and for knights who value their companions, how can they let their companions bear the punishment that does not belong to him alone.

"But Anthony..."

"Don't say anything more, Xiu." Anthony raised his hand to block what Xiu wanted to continue, "It's not my decision alone, it's our idea. ”

Anthony turned sideways, letting go of the twenty-two knights behind him.

They are unwilling to let Xiu take on this responsibility alone, and they have to share the responsibility with Xiu no matter what.

"Half of us are half of the 1,000 Honkai Beasts, so I don't have to talk about it. If you don't give it, then you're insulting us. Anthony said firmly: "Knights do not huddle under the protection of others, for we are the protection of others!" Xiu, do you want to shelter us? ”

Xiu lowered his head and said no more.

"Thank you..."At this point, he couldn't say anything, only a thank you.

"It doesn't have to be said." Anthony grabbed Xiu's shoulders, "Xiu, don't forget, you're our captain." ”

Captain... Is it...

Xiu's heart kept thinking about this word.

He looked at Anthony, at Carlos, at Andrew, Luna, Sasha, and so on, and so on, and then he realized something.

yes, I'm not alone now.

He... Laughed.

"I'm done gossiping. When that's all said and done, you all go back to training, it's not time for culture class this week! "Gerard began to chase people" Susanna, take them back to the training ground, and the training items must not be missing! ”

"Yes, sir!" Suzanne saluted and turned to lead the people.

"Xiu, you stay next, I still have something to tell you."

The companions cast worried glances at Xiu.

"Instructor, is there anything you can't say to our faces......" said one of the knights.

"Let you get out, where are so many opinions!" Gerald glanced at him, and the knight's legs instantly weakened, and the whole person fell backwards, but fortunately several companions quickly helped her.

"Do you think I'm going to clean him up behind your back? Collect you, who am I hiding? Do you dare to have an opinion on cleaning up in front of you? Get lost! The angry lion seemed to be showing signs of a seizure.

Xiu cast a reassuring look at them, "It's okay, Chief Gerald won't do anything to me." Like he said, he doesn't need to shy away from anyone. Wait for me at the training ground first! Instructor Susanna, please take them away first! ”

Suzanne nodded, "Okay, okay, all go out, Xiu will be fine, Chief Gerald will not do unsightly things behind his back, you can rest assured!" ”

The phrase seemed to mean something, but Gerard didn't care.

"Rodriard, Lilum, go out too...... And Lilum, you consciously go to the documentation room to be a copywriter for a month, don't let me say too much. ”

"Why! Why punish me again! Lilum was like a cat whose tail had been guessed, "I honestly didn't do anything wrong, why punish me again!" ”

Gerald tossed a map into her hand

"Do you think Xiu jumped off a cliff? Would he really dare to choose this path when he knew that there was a cliff ahead! How dare you omit such an important thing, if it really happens to someone, you are half responsible! Asking you to change the map is not asking you to kill! Get lost! ”

Lilum seemed aggrieved, she wanted to say something but stopped. Rodria picked up the map and pushed Lilum, who was still in tears, out of the office.

After all the others had gone, Gerald looked at Xiu's immature face.

"Now, let's get down to business."
