Chapter 565
Most of these people were kind-hearted. What Chris saw as a small favor was perhaps a tremendous
act of kindness in their eyes. Seeing this, the royal guards standing by were filled with pride. They
looked at Chris with admiration. This was the man who served his country and his people. This was the
Primus who cared for the people. He was indeed worthy of their loyalty, even unto death. They had
chosen to follow the right person because Chris was the sky of Amerosia!
Witnessing this, Morton and Grace Field were taken aback. They hadn't expected Chris to hold such
high regard in the hearts of the people. This realization shook their hearts profoundly. A strange, never-
before-felt emotion surged through them. They exchanged a glance, each seeing a flicker of
determination in the other's eyes.
Hearing Chris's words, the villagers helped each other up. Chris looked around but didn't spot Peter
Jefferson. Curious, he asked, "Where is Peter?"
"The chief is at the shrine!" the villagers responded in unison.
Chris smiled and said, "In that case, I'll head to the shrine first. You all can go about your business...
With me here, you're absolutely safe."
With that, Chris led his men towards the shrine. The ancestral shrine was the most sacred place in
Jefferson Village. However, at that moment, due to the arrival of tens of thousands of fighters, thenovelbin
entire area around the shrine was empty and eerily quiet.
Just as Chris was about to enter, Morton and Grace Field suddenly knelt before him, saying in unison,
"Master! We've made up our minds. From today onwards, we're willing to be your vanguards, facing
any danger at your command, and we'll never back down. Please, Master, allow us to follow you!"
Having said that, they bowed their heads deeply. Both Chris's strength and the sense of pride from
eliminating threats to the people had deeply moved them. This time, their loyalty was not the same as
before - it was complete submission. Like ancient slaves, they were willing to give everything, even
their lives, to Chris. However, at that moment, both Morton and Grace Field were anxious, unsure
whether Chris would accept them. They were now mere strays, no longer the prestigious sect leaders
of the past. To be honest, they had little to offer Chris now.
Seeing this, a warm smile tugged at Chris's lips. He knew that both of them had been overwhelmed by
the formidable power he had recently displayed. Neither Tiger nor the royal guards were forces they
could contend with. More importantly, the scene of the villagers of Jefferson Village kneeling had a
tremendous impact on them. They never imagined that Chris had such high prestige in the East Coast.
They also understood that if they could follow Chris, their future would undoubtedly be promising.
Chris chuckled and said, "Get up! We're all on the same side here, no need to be so formal! From now
on, follow me, and I guarantee that I'll help you rebuild your sect, and even let the two of you take
control of the Southern Alliance!"
In an instant, Morton and Grace Field were overjoyed, their emotions swinging wildly like a roller
coaster ride. They had initially been apprehensive, unsure if Chris would accept them. But not only did
Chris accept them, he also promised to help them rebuild their sect. Most importantly, Chris even
suggested they would control the Southern Alliance in the future. This was a delightful surprise for both
of them.
"Thank you, Master!" they exclaimed.
