Chapter 326: Calgar’s Invitation

In fact, there are many knight families in the empire. In addition to families like the ‘Charon’ family, which have great autonomy and independence, there are also a few knight families that have no independence at all. They only obey the Titan Legion to which they belong and are responsible for tasks similar to those of miscellaneous soldiers.

The ‘Free Blade’ mentioned by Helberg is an outlier among the knights. When, for some reason, he can no longer live in the family, he will become a wandering knight without a ‘family’, that is – the Free Blade!
The Free Blade carries a large number of followers and travels freely through the starry sea. Depending on his mood, he will help the imperial battlefields he encounters along the way!

But… no matter how you look at it, Helberg shouldn’t be considered a ‘knight’ ostracized by his family, right?

Besides, Helberg didn’t do anything wrong, so why was he suddenly removed from the list and became “Free Blade”?

There must be something wrong here!

Alvin frowned and looked at Herberg in confusion: “You were expelled? Why? There must be a reason, right?”

He was expelled from the family right after the war… What kind of outrageous thing did this guy do to make the Supreme King of the Caron family order him to be expelled?

“Uh…” Helberg’s lips twitched, and he seemed speechless. He looked at him seriously: “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

“How do you tell the truth? How do you tell lies?”

Alvin raised an eyebrow.

“The lie is that I, Helberg Kallon, insulted the Supreme King of the Kallon family, so I was expelled from the family and was never allowed to come back.” Helberg sighed, his face full of resentment: “I can swear to the Emperor that I just called him an old man, and then this old man fired me!”

It’s a bit difficult to judge, but at least the accusation is correct.

“Where’s the truth?” Alvin looked at him in surprise. This sentence just now should be the reason announced by the Supreme King of the Caron family to the outside world, but it is definitely not the real reason!

“The truth is, I don’t know either.”

Helberg felt very aggrieved, his eyelashes drooped, and he looked quite pitiful: “I am his son, but he fired me with just one sentence. I even doubt if he has lost his mind!”

“…You are the son of High King Charon?!” Alvin’s eyes widened immediately.

Wow, this is a young man!
“To be precise, he is the seventeenth son.” Helberg shrugged, looking nonchalant. “To be honest, I should be a collateral bloodline. No wonder he fired me without hesitation.”

“You, don’t seem sad at all?” Alvin looked at Helberg and felt that this guy had been trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of his lips since just now.

Your acting is terrible, Mr. Helberg!
“Why should I be sad?” Helberg looked at him in confusion, with a look of shock. “I wish he would fire me, so that I don’t have to get up at four in the morning every day to read those damn family honor histories!”

Well, another child who was driven crazy… Alvin pinched his brows and fell into deep thought. He always felt that the Supreme King had other reasons.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too outrageous to expel your own bloodline and descendants from the family just because of the word “old man”?
“Hey, have you agreed?” Helberg asked impatiently with wide eyes.

“Can I ask why you want to join ‘Valxius’?” Alvin temporarily suppressed his doubts and stared at Helberg seriously: “If what you want is freedom, I think… becoming an independent Free Blade should be better than joining us, right?”

“Do you even need to ask?”

There seemed to be a hint of “hunger” in Helberg’s green eyes. Like a greedy beast, he licked his lips and said with a sick smile: “Because following you… I feel like I can encounter a lot of interesting things!”

“For example?”

Alvin raised an eyebrow and stared at him.

“Carlos Fateweaver, the legendary Lord of Change… Isn’t that interesting enough?” Helberg licked his lips, his eyes sparkling: “My intuition tells me that only by following you… can I realize my wish!” “Your wish?”

Alvin was quite curious.

“I want to build an independent, autonomous knight family that is greater than ‘Karon’!” Helberg clenched his fists, his eyes full of ambition. “I know very well that I have no chance to become the Supreme King in the Karon family. Only by following you… can I have the opportunity to establish great merits and let the empire crown me the Supreme King!”

“Welcome… to you, Helberg.”

After hearing his reasons, Alvin smiled gently and extended his hand: “I will help you become the Supreme King, but at the same time… you also need to give me your trust and life!”

Helberg bowed his head and said respectfully and seriously: “I swear on my knight’s honor that I will become the sharpest blade of Valshus and never retreat a single step. I am willing to entrust my life and trust to you!”

……

After swearing, Alvin’s lips curled up.

Now, his ‘Valxius’ family finally has a ‘knight’, and everything is developing in a good direction, making him feel as if he is in a state of vigor and vitality.

After chatting for a while, Helberg left. He said that even if he wanted to leave, he should go find the “old man” and ask for some things!
However, just as Alvin was about to take a rest, he saw Tucker running over and handing him an invitation letter.

The signature above made his pupils shrink suddenly.

Chapter Master of the Ultramarines and Star Lord of Macragge… Marius Calgar!

“Wait a minute, why didn’t anyone tell me when Karga came?!”

Looking at the invitation letter, Alvin was suddenly confused and turned to look at Tucker.

“Uh, I thought you already knew.” Tucker scratched his head, looking like a rogue: “Besides, if Captain Calgar hadn’t come, do you think the Knight Family of ‘Karon’ would have come to support us so quickly?”

“So, it was Calgar who ordered them to support Celerus?” Alvin pinched his brows and suddenly felt a little panicked.

This is truly the case, Lord Macragge, the perfect Ultramarines, one of the Primarch’s most trusted lieutenants, possessing extremely strong leadership skills. It can be said that he has perfectly inherited Papa Smurf’s operational template!

The only drawback is that as an ‘operation’ type warrior, he always wants to fight one-on-one with others.

As a result, he was awarded the title of “ICU” God of War, and the honor guard around him was also nicknamed the “Stretcher Emergency Team”.

But the question is, why did the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines go to the trouble of coming all the way to Celerus?
Could it be that it was just to see him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
With the political acumen of the Ultramarines, it is impossible to do such a meaningless thing, not to mention that the opponent is Calgar? !

Could it be that there needs to be accountability?

Alvin held the invitation letter in his hand, frowning. Although he had already thought of an excuse, Calgar’s sudden arrival still made him a little panicked.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the spire of the hive city. If nothing unexpected happened, Captain Calgar should be living there.

“If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided…”
