Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 17 Gurongi

Shortly after Lin Mu dropped Lin Yue off back in Z City, his phone rang. Looking at the number, he saw it was a call from the Knights Association headquarters. This call likely meant something important, so he answered without hesitation.

An urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, demanding that Lin Mu return to City A as soon as possible. Without hesitation, Lin Mu immediately set off for City A.

At the very moment Ye Chen joined Lin Yue's class, a tense atmosphere filled the small conference room on the top floor of the Knights Association headquarters in City A. A rectangular conference table was surrounded by people, each with a nameplate bearing their name and corresponding knight's name in front of them.

There are eleven riders present, all powerful beings who have successfully unlocked their transitional forms. They are only one step away from unlocking their final forms. However, two labels stand out particularly—Kamen Rider Blade and Kamen Rider Kiva!

The names of these two knights are renowned throughout the knightly world, and their presence here undoubtedly adds a significant weight to the entire meeting.

There are two adjacent positions with only one label in between, which belong to Kamen Rider W. Lin Mu and Yun Xiling have also arrived.

The meeting room was silent, and everyone's faces were solemn.

Lin Mu looked around, secretly wondering why everyone had been urgently summoned.

They waited for a long time, and finally, a group of serious-looking people entered through the door. One of them stood in the chairman's seat. This person was none other than the president of the Knights Association! He broke the silence by speaking: "Fellow knights, those who are in this conference room are the strongest knights. First of all, I would like to thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to bring you some important news."

Next, the president turned on the large screen in the conference room, which displayed a piece of paper covered with writing. Everyone looked at it.

The note read: "Fellow Kamen Riders, I am Daguba, the leader of the Grongi! Although we are the most powerful race on this land, I have never sent my men to invade you. There are two tribes within the Grongi, the other led by the Wolf King! Our two tribes frequently clash over territory. The Wolf King is weaker than me, but he commands more men. He is the one who frequently sends his men to invade you humans. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I sincerely wish to seek your cooperation, Kamen Riders! In five days, our two races will engage in a decisive battle in the wasteland not far from your barrier! I hope that humans will send Kamen Riders to support us in destroying the Wolf King and his tribe! After this is accomplished, I swear on my honor that our two races will not invade each other! Furthermore, I will inform you of the news of Zi-O!"

Everyone was shocked after reading it.

They hadn't expected that there would be internal strife among the Grongi, and that they would even have to cooperate with them. The news of Zi-O was also a huge temptation for everyone. If Zi-O appeared, it might be able to solve the current situation where humans could only live within the barrier.

At this moment, the Grand Master spoke up: "Everyone, this is a rare opportunity. If we can help Daguba eliminate the Wolf King, we can not only resolve the threat of the Grongi, but also obtain information about Zi-O. I suggest that we send an elite team, led by either Sword or Kiva, to the Wasteland to assist Daguba. I wonder which of the two of you is willing to go?"

The Kamen Rider Blade user, Wu Pingtian, was the first to stand up. "I am willing to accept this mission."

"Very good, then you will lead the other knights to the wasteland." The guild master smiled with satisfaction. With Wu Pingtian there, he felt somewhat at ease.

"Wait." At this moment, two abrupt voices rang out. Everyone looked over and saw Lin Mu and Yun Xiling, with Yun Xiling raising her hand.

"What insights do you two have?" the chairman asked with a smile. Kamen Rider W! Currently, their strongest form, Fang Ace, is already no weaker than the two strongest forms, and according to them, this doesn't seem to be their strongest form yet!

“Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts!” Yun Xiling suddenly stood up, her eyes blazing as she analyzed the current situation: “We know nothing about Daguba’s true intentions. Although we can often monitor the fierce battles between their two tribes, to be on the safe side, I suggest that we let them continue to fight each other. When both sides are severely weakened, we can then seize the opportunity to strike and reap the benefits! In this way, we can effectively weaken Daguba’s strength and also hope to obtain important intelligence about the Time King.”

"Haha, this is what they call 'when the clam and the crane fight, the fisherman benefits,' isn't it? This plan is brilliant!" The Grand Master showed his appreciation and nodded repeatedly in agreement. Then he turned to Wu Pingtian and said, "Then let Mr. Wu decide which knights to send out! When that time comes, I will redeploy the patrolmen in various places according to Mr. Wu's plan."

After careful consideration, Wu Pingtian said, "In that case, all the Kamen Riders present, except for Kiva, shall come with me. Of course, besides those present, I will also carefully select a number of stronger Kamen Riders to join us. Miss Yun's suggestion is excellent, but my idea might be a bit more extreme. We'll wait until both sides are exhausted and weakened, then suddenly strike and annihilate them! As for the news about Zi-O..." Wu Pingtian took a deep breath and continued, "I'll hold a knife to its neck, and even if it doesn't want to talk, it will have no choice but to!"

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped, secretly admiring him. He truly lived up to his reputation as the most ruthless and decisive knight in the association. "Then it's decided. We'll guard the edge of the barrier on Friday night!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison. The Grand Master smiled with satisfaction, thinking that if they could truly succeed in eliminating this powerful race, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to the survival of humanity. After all, as time went by, the human population continued to increase, yet the territory covered by the barrier remained unchanged. If they could expand their territory outwards, it would certainly be of great benefit to the future development of humanity.

...

That evening, Lin Yue, feeling relaxed after returning home, learned the news from Yun Xiling during a phone conversation.

"You're going to leave the barrier? Isn't that too dangerous!" Lin Yue felt something was off. On the surface, the knights' idea seemed reasonable. They believed in a fight between two powerful enemies, with the Emperor's Sword being powerful enough to handle a weakened Daguba without much trouble.

"It's alright, Mr. Wu is here, and we have so many knights. Even if we can't defeat them, we can still escape unscathed! Besides, although the Grongi are brutal, they are a race that keeps their word. We'll be fine! By the way, little sister, let's go now, your brother's finished showering! Bye-bye!"

"Okay, goodnight, sister!" Lin Yue hung up the phone, feeling speechless. Her brother and sister-in-law were about to get down to business.

She already had a general understanding of the Grongi of this world. These Grongi were indeed a race that kept their word; they promised that after defeating the Wolf King, they would not interfere with humanity and would provide the information humanity needed. From this perspective, this was indeed beneficial to humanity. After all, Daguba himself was stronger than the Wolf King, and with the assistance of the Kamen Rider, defeating the Wolf King would be a piece of cake.

However, despite everything seemingly going smoothly, a sense of unease lingered in Lin Yue's mind. What exactly had gone wrong? She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Perhaps the Gurongi's purpose wasn't as simple as they claimed? Lin Yue pondered this carefully. She thought of a movie she had seen in her previous life, in which Kamen Rider and Super Sentai pretended to be enemies but actually joined forces to defeat the enemy in the end. But this didn't make sense either. If Daguba and the Wolf King pretended to be enemies, wouldn't that be breaking their promise?

Lin Yue felt increasingly overwhelmed by the thought, and decided that she would transform into Kamen Rider Decade and go there herself, since no one would know who Kamen Rider Decade was anyway.
