Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knocking on the door.

"Please come in," Huangfu Weilai said.

In his perception, the other party was powerful enough to hear their conversation and know that they were all in the hall, but even so, they still politely knocked on the door first to let him know.

This indicates that the other party is very particular about etiquette, or rather, that such etiquette is ingrained in their very being and has become part of their chivalry.

Therefore, observing etiquette is also observing his moral principles.

"Excuse me." A gentle, middle-aged voice came from outside the door, and then the door opened, and a tall and mighty knight beast walked in.

It was a size larger than a regular Knight Beast.

This is the person that King Chess Beast has gone to great lengths to save. He is the Captain-Commander who commands all the Knight Beasts in the Empire, also known as: Knight Commander!

Although Knight Commander looks much the same as the other Knightmon, he has actually undergone a power boost from his Knightmon form, thus gaining power comparable to Ultimate level in his Perfect form.

Therefore, the Knight Commander's true name is—Knightmon: Wisdom Sword Mode!

Compared to the image of ordinary knight beasts wielding greatswords and carrying large shields, the knight commander not only has a different sword blade and hilt, but also wears a cloak that represents strength in addition to carrying a large shield.

Such an extraordinary Knightmon naturally possesses strength surpassing that of its kind.

"Why has the Knight Commander had time to come over? Does His Majesty the King have a chance to fulfill his promise?" Huangfu Weilai asked.

"terribly sorry."

Upon hearing this, the Knight Commander bowed to Huangfu Weilai first and said, "This is one of the reasons I came here. Due to some matters in the Empire, His Majesty the King's meeting with you needs to be postponed. On behalf of His Majesty the King, I express my deepest apologies."

After speaking, the Knight Commander bowed to Huangfu Weilai and his entourage once again.

"It's alright, we're not in a hurry," Taichi Yagami said casually.

"Thank you for your understanding." The knight commander nodded slightly.

Then, looking at Hikari Yagami, the Knight Commander's eyes lit up, and he said, "Besides representing His Majesty the King to convey his decree, I am also here representing myself."

As he spoke, the Knight Commander suddenly bowed deeply to Yagami Hikaru: "Lord Yagami Hikaru, thank you very much for saving my life. I have already done my duty to His Majesty the King and can no longer serve you with my life, so... within the scope of my power, if you need any help, please feel free to ask me for assistance."

Chapter Fifty: Training Grounds (Happy New Year everyone!)

"No, no... please don't do this!" Hikaru Yagami quickly waved his hand, trying to get the Knight Commander to get up.

At this moment, before she became the cunning and scheming Yagami Hikari, she was a genuinely innocent and good girl. Faced with the Knight Commander's solemn gratitude, she was somewhat at a loss.

Taichi Yagami also spoke up to support his sister, urging the Knight Commander not to go to such lengths.

Upon hearing the news, the Knight Commander did not express his gratitude again. However, his resolute demeanor made Huangfu Weilai realize that if they ever needed the Knight Commander's help in the future, this Knight Commander, who was like the embodiment of chivalry, would definitely lend a hand.

Even if the relationship between Hikari Yagami and the Knight Commander is like that of a doctor and a patient, since the King Chess Beast, as the representative of the family, has already paid, the Knight Commander, as the patient, does not actually need to pay any additional price.

But this upright and honorable knight commander did not think so.

He was filled with gratitude for Hikari Yagami, who had saved his life.

Because he knew he was facing a desperate counterattack from an Ultimate-level being, his only thought was to be thankful that he had managed to get his companions to retreat, so that he would be the only one dragged down with them.

As the Knight Commander who killed that Ultimate-level being, he was fortunate enough to die after the Ultimate-level being in his Complete form. Although it was a result of mutual destruction, it was still incredibly lucky.

but……

Unexpectedly, he, who had resigned himself to certain death, was still able to be saved.

Even though he was prepared to die, he naturally wouldn't give up the chance to live since he had the option.

Therefore, the Knight Commander was sincerely grateful to Yagami Hikari, who was like a second life to him.

The same is true in reverse.

Taichi Yagami and the others felt sincere respect for this knight commander, whose character was so upright and honest, and whose actions and words were consistent.

Furthermore, after personally witnessing the Knight Commander's actions, their already favorable impression of him grew even stronger.

To encounter a Digimon like the Knight Commander in a godforsaken place like the Dark Area is even rarer than one in ten thousand.

For a time, both parties were interested in each other and had a very pleasant conversation.

Until one day, Hikari Yagami casually mentioned wanting to know what the royal palace was like.

In an instant, the knight commander took action.

The knight commander patted his chest boldly and assured him, "No problem, I'll take care of it. I'll pass on the message to His Majesty the King, and I'll show you around the palace."

Then, the knight commander used a telephone-like communication method to remotely report the matter to his king, and even guaranteed it.

Therefore, the king's chess beast's order of consent was quickly conveyed.

The whole process was completed in one go, taking less than two minutes.

“Let’s go. I have obtained His Majesty’s permission to guide you through the layout of the palace,” the knight commander said.

Although it was just something Hikaru Yagami said unintentionally, since he had already gone to such lengths, they couldn't refuse, so they all followed the Knight Commander out of the guest room.

After all, they were indeed very curious about what the royal palace looked like.

They can't see what the palace looks like in the real world, and they can see it in the digital world just as easily.

Furthermore, because Digimon are beings embodying immense power, the palaces they see are even more fantastical than those they see in the real world.

Soon, following the knight commander's steps and introductions, they passed through the main hall of the palace, the medical ward for treatment, the library for recording information, and finally arrived at the training ground most familiar to the knight commander.

Previously, Yagami Taichi and others passed through this place and entered the room where the Knight Commander was lying.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Just then, a group led by Knightmon approached and saluted the Knight Commander.

This team looks much stronger than the ones patrolling the Chess Beast Empire.

The Knightmon leading the team couldn't reveal its exact strength, but judging from its members, this team was stronger than the patrol team.

Because the Knightmon patrolling the Chessmon Empire is led by Chessmons (black/white), while the Knightmon in the Royal Palace is led by a group of Champion-level Digimon.

They are the Ridemon (Black/White) and the Fightermon.

The obvious difference makes it easy to see the difference in strength at a glance.

"Thank you for your hard work." The knight commander returned the greeting with a standard knightly salute.

Then, he continued to introduce the training ground to Taichi Yagami and the others.

"This is the training ground for Knight-type Digimon within the Royal Palace, and even the entire Empire. We Knights grow here, mature, become complete, and finally reach the Ultimate..."

"Is this the place?" Yagami Taichi murmured, then asked the Knight Commander, "Could the Ultimate form that emerged from here be one of the five Ultimate forms of the Chess Beast Empire?"

“Uh…” Upon hearing this, the Knight Commander was taken aback, then awkwardly waved his hand, “No, none of the Empire’s five ultimate forms came from here.”

"To be honest, this is just a slogan to motivate the Digimon in the training grounds. Among the Knight-type Digimon, the one closest to the Ultimate level... although it sounds a bit boastful, in fact, I'm probably the only one."

The knight commander said somewhat awkwardly.

"That's amazing," Yagami Hikaru exclaimed.

"Not at all, it's just a minor achievement," the knight commander waved his hands repeatedly.

“No, your achievements and strength deserve these praises,” Huangfu Weilai suddenly said.

Then, seeing that the Knight Commander was about to speak modestly again, Huangfu Weilai, who had anticipated his behavior, said again: "Excessive modesty makes one seem very insincere."

"..." These words immediately silenced the Knight Commander.

After a moment, the knight commander spoke again, his tone full of apology, "It was my rudeness."

“No.” Huangfu Weilai shook his head and looked at the Knight Commander seriously, saying, “You, who possess the virtues of a knight and practice them, are indeed very strong, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of spirit.”

"Therefore, excessive humility not only humiliates yourself, but also the knight beasts below you. For your own sake and for theirs, you should appropriately show your pride, rather than being overly humble."

Huangfu Weilai offered advice to the Knight Commander from a personal perspective.

“…I have learned a lot.” Upon hearing this, the Knight Commander nodded thoughtfully, then bowed to Huangfu Weilai and said earnestly.

Huangfu Weilai smiled, looked at the Knight Commander, and suddenly asked, "Knight Beast, how is your injury recovery going?"

"I'm fine now." Although the knight commander was puzzled, he still told Huangfu Weilai about his physical condition.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Weilai's smile gradually widened.

"So, how about we have a friendly spar?"

Chapter 51 Savior Hakumon VS Knight Commander

"A sparring match?" The knight commander pondered for a moment, his gaze towards Huangfu Weilai carrying a deeper meaning.

Generally speaking, upon hearing of the Knight Commander's experience of fighting to the death as an Ultimate-level Digimon, many Digimon would subconsciously exclude him from the Ultimate-level category.

After all, this level of fully evolved form is beyond the capabilities of a normal fully evolved form.

However, Huangfu Weilai's behavior of "knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den" was clearly not arrogance, but rather a sign of confidence.

and so……

The Knight Commander looked at the Hakumon standing next to Huangfu Weilai, whose eyes were fixed intently on him.

Is this what His Majesty the King meant by "the Perfect Being, comparable to himself"?

'interesting……'

Thinking this, the Knight Commander's gaze towards Hackmon couldn't help but become fiery.

As mentioned before, complete beings with their level of strength are extremely rare.

Those Digimon whose combat power reaches the Ultimate level have basically met the conditions for evolving into the Ultimate level. Generally speaking, these Digimon will not stay at the Perfect level for too long.

After all, instead of reigning supreme at the level of Perfect Form, it's better to evolve directly into Ultimate Form and completely transform one's own class.

Therefore, those who can reach the ultimate level of combat power either have accumulated resources and are planning to evolve into a stronger race, or they have not yet met the conditions for evolving into the ultimate level.

Regardless of the type, it demonstrates that this fully evolved form is not to be trifled with.

At the same time, it is also rare.

Upon seeing a creature similar to himself, the Knight Commander understood Hakumon's thoughts.

Because he's the same way!

“Alright.” The Knight Commander nodded decisively, then had Hakumon follow him to the training grounds.

During this process, the Knight Commander also ordered Knightmon to clear the area, moving all the Pawnmon and Fightermon away from the training ground.

This arena, large enough to accommodate hundreds of Rookie and Champion Digimon for training and battles, could barely serve as a battleground for the Knight Commander and Hackmon.

Because they are both outside the norm.

Read as the complete form and written as the ultimate form, once they unleash their full power in battle, even the Chess Beast Empire on the battlefield could be destroyed by them.

Therefore, only by clearing the area can the safety of others be guaranteed.

Moreover, this is something they can only do when they suppress their own feelings.

"Future?" Yagami Taichi was puzzled as to why Huangfu Future would suddenly challenge the Knight Commander.

Seeing this, Huangfu Weilai smiled and explained, "It's nothing, just a bit excited to hunt."

"Hakumon has always longed for a battle where it can truly fight freely, rather than one where it is always restrained."

"And the best opponent is someone who can be his equal."

"I see..." Taichi Yagami pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is Hackmon about to evolve into its Ultimate form?"

“Not bad.” Huangfu Weilai nodded slightly, directly acknowledging it.

"But it's only 'almost' at that level. Hakumon is only one step away from becoming the Ultimate form, but that one step is blocking Hakumon's path."

"To break through this bottleneck, only Hakumon can do it on its own. We can't interfere with it; at most, we can only provide assistance in other aspects."

"For example, in combat..."
