Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 794 - 382: Grand Dedication, Vesinu_1

The martial artist, confused by the summoning token he had received, entered the Disciple’s Sanctuary.

Soon, all members gathered in Council Hall No. 12, but no one knew why they had been summoned.

It wasn’t until the newly promoted proxy, known as ’Sword-Wielding Guard’, and Lord Cain’s second-in-command, ’Arsonist’, announced their presence that they understood a Ceremony of Dedication was being held by the Lord Disciple.

The council hall was instantly in an uproar.

[Sailor:...Did Lord Cain make a mistake? I remember it’s only been a month since the last Ceremony of Dedication?]

[Weaver: I too feel like it hasn’t been that long since the last Ceremony.]

[Cannon User: Did something happen within the organization?]

[Singer: What should I do? My subordinates haven’t accumulated enough spirituality yet...]

[Clown: Never mind about subordinates, I haven’t managed to save up enough myself.]

[Heritage Holder: Why is there another premature Ceremony of Dedication?]

The martial artist was surprised at first but then overjoyed by the messages in front of him!

Wasn’t he eagerly anticipating the Ceremony of Dedication?

During the last ceremony, because he was the first to dedicate, he only managed to contribute 20,000 spirit points. As a result, he was made an example of and nailed to the Pillar of Shame.

The martial artist had been tirelessly working non-stop, with the intention to redeem his dignity and let Lord Cain see his devotion!

Well, the Martial Artist won’t deny that a significant part of his motive was to take over the Proxy’s position. However, it did not conflict with his devout heart.

"The chance to show up has come!"

[Martial Artist: Quit arguing! This is the time to show your devotion to Lord Cain!]

[Martial Artist: I believe Lord Cain’s decision to hold the Ceremony of Dedication in advance was not simply due to a lack of spirituality. It must be a well-considered decision.]

[Martial Artist: Therefore, as his devoted subordinates, the first thing we should do is not to question the reason, but to firmly support him!]

[Wall Breaker: ...]

[Cannon User: ...]

[XXX: ...]

[Wall Breaker: Makes sense!]

[Sailor: Martial Artist, I’ll offer you 5,000 spirituality points if you’ll take back those words and let me say them!]

[Heritage Holder: The Martial Artist is right. That’s exactly what I wanted to say. It was just that my internet connection was poor and lagged, which gave him the chance to speak first.]

Everyone wanted to continue their expressions, but the ’Sword-Wielding Guard,’ the newly promoted proxy, imposed a chat restriction.

And suddenly, Lord Cain’s second-in-command ’Arsonist’ began to address them.

[Arsonist: Martial Artist, you have a high level of awareness! I’ll report your firm statement to Lord Cain.]

The martial artist felt a rush of joy. This time, he not only wanted to reverse Lord Cain’s impression of him being ’incompetent’ but also wanted to offer the most spirituality, to compete for the Proxy’s position!

During the last Ceremony of Dedication, Lord Cain appointed temporary proxies for each city based on dedication rankings.

Seeing this, he was certain it was because one of the temporary proxies was incompetent, and he wanted to appoint a new proxy.

This was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity!

[Arsonist: The Martial Artist is right. This premature Ceremony of Dedication indeed occurs due to certain reasons. Lord Cain didn’t want to have another Ceremony of Dedication, knowing that you all hadn’t recovered from the previous one...]

[Arsonist: However, as his subordinates, how can we not help our lord in times of difficulty?]

[Arsonist: To tell you the truth, Lord Cain isn’t aware of this Ceremony of Dedication. It was I who suggested it, with the support of a few proxies, and we’re holding it behind his back.]

This caused the martial artist to frown and completely overthrew his previous guess.

"Replacing temporary proxies must be approved by the lord. It’s impossible to secretly select without the lord’s knowledge, right?"

Why would such an outbreak of activity be initiated by the second-in-command, Arsonist, winning the support of a few proxies?

Everyone was puzzled but since the the free chat function was temporarily disabled, they couldn’t ask questions.

[Arsonist: I won’t hold anything back anymore. The real reason we’re doing this isn’t to betray the lord but entirely for your consideration and for the lord!]

[Because the territory, Lord Cain controls, is about to expand again!]

[Yes, you didn’t hear it wrong. In addition to the entire Jiangnan Province, Lord Cain will get even more territories!]

[But currently, our lord is short on suitable proxies, and adding more territories to his control would be a bit too much...]

[So this is the perfect opportunity for us to relieve the lord of his worries!]

[If you don’t display your devotion now, then when the lord controls more territories and more people, whether the proxy will be chosen from amongst you remains uncertain...]

The martial artist felt his spirits lifted, his stirring passion propelled him to action.

"Good heavens! This opportunity is once-in-a-lifetime. If I miss it now, there probably won’t be a next time!".

The temporary proxies in Jiangnan Province were virtually decided already. These proxies could obtain more resources during their tenure.

For everyone else, the possibility of superseding these temporary proxies through the Ceremony of Dedication was quite slim.

Unless a proxy was unqualified or made a serious blunder that led Lord Cain to kick them out, it was entirely unrealistic for anyone present to compete with the temporary proxies.

He very well understood what Arsonist meant. They wanted to take care of their colleagues in Jiangnan Province and ensure that the resources stayed within their group!
