Ol’ Amos shook his head.
“What should we do, then?”
“What should we do? Leave, of course!”
Ol’ Amos snorted and said, “It goes back to the same thing—a gentleman does not put himself in harm’s way. Whether or not the empire’s half-deity comes, you have to ensure your safety first and foremost!
“I’m reminding you—your little princess housemate may be beautiful and gorgeous, but she’s not worth you putting yourself in danger yet!”
“Ol’ President, you must’ve been a cold and heartless scumbag when you were young, right?”
Meng Lei couldn’t stop himself from rolling his eyes.
“A scumbag? Please, I’m a lifelong bachelor!”

“W-what’s that?”
“It’s... It’s so huge!”
“To think there’s such a lofty and majestic tree in this world... How inconceivable!”
“That tree is so massive! It’s probably no ordinary tree?”
A gigantic tree towering straight into the sky appeared on the Dragon God Cathedral’s huge magic screen.
It stood erect in the continent’s center, towering tall and straight into the sky above the sea of forests. The mountains were reduced to mere props while the ancient trees became its background.
It was simply too huge and too majestic—one could neither see to the top nor the ends of it.
The moment it entered their sights, it astounded everyone, ranging all the way from Emperor Frederick the 32nd to every single civil and martial official. All of them were dumbstruck and flabbergasted.
Frederick the 32nd was terribly alarmed. “Why didn’t the surveillance team discover a lifeform like that in the Lost Continent?”
Nobody knew whether or not they had discovered it, but Frederick the 32nd had already realized that the Lost Continent was far more unsafe than what he’d thought. The contestants... They were in danger!
“Reporting!”
It was at this moment that a golden-armored knight walked out of the teleportation magic circle. “Your Majesty, a half-deity lifeform has appeared in the Lost Continent. 100 contestants, including Prince Barbarossa and the others, have been captured, and their lives are in peril!”
“What?”
Everyone got up at once, an indescribable astoundment brimming in their eyes. All of them were shocked.
The emperor barked fiercely, “Are you sure?”
The golden-armored knight replied loudly, “Your Majesty, it is the absolute truth!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
All the Saint Domain experts turned to the emperor at once. The princes, princesses, nobles, and officials also turned to him.
Everyone knew that things had gotten serious.
A half-deity lifeform had appeared in the Lost Continent, and it had captured 100 contestants, including Prince Barbarossa.
This was no longer an accident on a small scale but a serious matter that threatened to undermine the empire’s core.
Once mishandled, not only would the empire make an enemy out of a half-deity, but it would also cause irreversible losses for the empire.
This was an extremely serious matter.
Frederick the 32nd, who was facing everyone’s anxious, anticipative eyes, slowly closed his eyes. He said, “By sending all the contestants to the Lost Continent without careful consideration when we aren’t yet clear on the situation in the Lost Continent, I have sinned!”
“Your Majesty!”
Everyone exclaimed in low voices.
“However, it is nigh the time to pursue the matter of accountability now. What’s most imperative right now is to dispatch men to the Lost Continent and rescue the contestants!” Frederick the 32nd stepped forward. “Summon the senior statesmen’s assembly at once and order the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder to follow me to Dragon Island to request aid from the grandmasters!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
An official bowed in acknowledgment and hastily went to deliver the imperial order.
“My beloved subjects, you’re dismissed!” said Frederick the 32nd as he looked at everyone.
President Luke hurriedly stepped forward and requested, “Your Majesty, the contestants are in critical peril. I am willing to head to the Lost Continent in advance to investigate the situation. If it is permissible, perhaps that may help a little with the situation!”
“Me too, Your Majesty!”
“We cannot stand by and wait idly while our students are trapped. I request to head to the Lost Continent in advance to investigate the situation!”
“Your Majesty...”
For a moment there, all the academy presidents and teachers-in-charge requested to be deployed to the Lost Continent to rescue their students.
“I am greatly moved by your sincerity, my beloved subjects. Unfortunately, a half-deity occupies the Lost Continent. All of you heading there is no different from moths flying into the fire—seeking death!” Frederick the 32nd shook his head lightly. “Everyone had better just wait for my good news. As long as the grandmasters are willing to help, a mere native half-deity can be wiped out with just a flick of the fingers.”
“Your Majesty!”
“My mind is set. Say no more!”
Frederick the 32nd threw back his long sleeves, and then, he rose into the air and flitted toward the palace. A group of palace attendants, princes, and princesses hastily followed after him.
“This...”
All the Saint Domains looked at one another, sighing one by one.
In the Lost Continent...
“Protecting the safety of all the contestants and ensuring that the exchange competition doesn’t suffer interference from external forces—these are missions, as well as our duty, that His Majesty the Emperor has given us, the Holy Knight Order!”
With a brandish of the broadsword in his hand, the Golden Colossal Dragon Person shouted, “Where doth our duty lie?”
“With glory it lies!”
“With glory it lies!”
“With glory it lies!”
The knights of the Holy Knight Order roared.
“For the Holy Knight Order’s duty and for the Holy Knight Order’s glory, I order all of you to continue to attack!”
“With glory it lies!”
“With glory it lies!”
Boom, boom, boom!
