Villain With The Strongest System

For a moment he wondered if Rocky was running away from undead, trying to find a new party to stay with, however, when he saw him carving open a path and killing dozens of undead on his way towards him, Neatwit understood that Rocky was not running away from anyone but rather approaching him deliberately.

"What happened? Why are you shouting? Where is your party?" Neatwit asked, sounding pissed as he felt like he had many more important duties to fulfill right now rather than pandering to a kid.

Neatwit was about to dismiss Rocky, but before he could, he noticed an out of breath and panting Paladin Patrik following Rocky from behind, covering his rear.

"Paladin Patrik? Why is Rocky here? He should be with your unit! Don't you know it's dangerous for him to roam around alone?" Neatwit reprimanded Patrik, as once again Paladin Patrik made a long face, feeling ashamed of himself.

"I'm no longer the unit leader, myself and Pope Cole have swore allegiance to the Champion. The entire church and its forces serve him now-" Paladin Patrik said as Neatwit felt surprised at this revelation.

"What do you mean you changed your allegiance? this is an ongoing war….. not a comedy club! What are you guys even doing?" Neatwit asked in an angry voice as he could not believe what his ears were listening to.

Swearing allegiance to a kid who had never been in a proper war before? What was the Church of Gemini thinking?

Neatwit knew they were all religious zealots, however, this was definitely pushing the line.

"Vice guildmaster…. Shame on you" Rocky said in a rather arrogant voice, as Neatwit frowned when he heard him say that.

"What?" Neatwit asked in fury, wondering if he accidentally heard it wrong.

"I said… SHAME… ON …. YOU-" Rocky said again, even more loudly so that the troops around Neatwit heard it as well.

"You have some pair of balls to say this to me in the middle of an on-going conflict…. I'll give you one chance to explain yourself boy, else I'm knocking you out cold here myself" Neatwit said, as his aura surged, causing both Rocky and Paladin Patrik to inadvertently shiver.

"One for all, all for one, go elites go! That's the guild's slogan right?" Rocky said, swallowing a mouthful of saliva as he gathered the courage to say what he was about to say next.

"You say the guild is one family and that you will never leave a single member of your guild behind, yet I see your guild's master, Karna, fighting for his life alone, surrounded by hordes of undead.

Don't you feel ashamed of yourself for not trying to go save him?" Rocky asked, as his question hurt Neatwit exactly where it hurt.

Yes, Neatwit did feel embarrassed. In fact before Rocky came, it was exactly what was going on in his mind.

"Of course I'm ashamed! If the front lines would not fall with the elites pushing ahead, I would have charged forward already" Neatwit said, gritting his teeth in frustration.

"Very well then Vice Guildmaster, you can stay here ashamed, but I'm going to take the Church and save Guild Master Karna with or without your help.

The rest is up to you". Rocky said as he turned and began jogging backwards without waiting for Neatwit's response.

*************

"That was a good speech. I rate it as a solid 6.5/10" Ravan said, clapping politely for Rocky.

"I'm trusting you with this Lord Ravan. Is pushing forward really our only option?" Rocky asked, as Ravan grinned but did not reply.

"Signal Pope Cole to follow you, we are going to carve open a path towards Karna-" Ravan said, as Rocky turned towards Pope Cole and signaled him to prepare the troops to follow him.

( Meanwhile Neatwit )

When Neatwit finally saw the Church Of Gemini soldiers to his right breaking rank and charging forward in the arrowhead formation by the thousands, he felt his heart sink to the bottom of his guts as he felt the immediate urge to join them.

"What are you waiting for vice guildmaster? The champion of Gemini is not wrong! Fuck the Earth, our Guild Master is in danger.

What good is our one for all, all for one slogan if we don't put it to practice when it matters the most?" Said Rex as he reprimanded Neatwit for hesitating.

"Give us the order to charge the vice-guildmaster! We won't fail you, let us save the guild master!"

"We will send the undead and the Lich, straight back to hell they came from!

Please have faith in us"

The true elites guild members begged Neatwit to reconsider, as at that moment Neatwit decided that he had reached his breaking point and was going to break ranks and join Rocky in his charge from now onwards.

"ALRIGHT FUCK IT. WE ARE GOING TO GO SAVE THE GUILD MASTER, JOIN BEHIND THE CHURCH OF GEMINI! PUSH!!! PUSH! PUSH!" Neatwit screamed, as he felt the cold blood in his body coming back to a steamy hot boil once more.

Gripping his black blade, Neatwit started to run wild as he led the guild's charge forwards.

Although saving Karna was a task much more difficult to achieve in practice than when talking, Neatwit felt happier with himself in trying to save him when compared to just holding the undead line.

Even though him breaking ranks and charging forward could lead to many problems for other people fighting on the front lines/ back lines. Neatwit decided to worry about the consequences of his actions later and first do what his heart told him to.
