《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 366: A Godly Arrival (1)
Advertisement
By the time Arnold and Yu Zhung returned to the makeshift command centre in Wuhan after killing all of the Minotaurs, they had a pleasant surprise waiting for them. Thanks to Xiaofan and Kang You, the tales of Arnold's strength had spread all over China like wildfire. Apparently, the Emperors whose territories shared their boundary with Wuhan had been keeping a close eye on the situation in Wuhan. Since Yu Zhung was also participating in the same event, it also attracted the attention of the other emperor's as well.
They were afraid that in the event that, Yu Zhung and Kang You were to fail in subjugating the minotaurs, they would be placed in danger and hence would have to get involved in order to get rid of the minotaurs. If all of them united, it would've been possible for them to get rid of the minotaur, without incurring heavy losses.
But none of them could help Kang You out unless he requested for their help. That was the rule and knowing Kang You, the emperors knew he would rather die than ask for their assistance. Thus they could not help him, even if they wanted to. The only thing they could do, however, was to start preparing for the potential minotaur invasion of their lands.
They were certain that Kang You and Yu Zhung would fail the task. Subduing over a thousand minotaur with only a couple thousand warriors was suicidal, to say the least. They were expecting to hear the news of their failure and demise. But they couldn't believe what happened next. Especially because they had no idea that Yu Zhung was not trying to help Kang You alone.
Arnold's unknown presence on the battlefield changed the entire narrative. The task that would've taken a few months to complete, even if all of the emperors came together to assist Kang You, was completed in mere hours. However, since the other emperors were unaware of Arnold and his summons, they didn't know what happened exactly and thought Yu Zhung and Kang You were the ones who managed to take out the entire minonian army by themselves. They weren't alone in thinking this either. Even the media and the government were thinking the same.

It wasn't much later when the calls from media houses, government officials and other Emperors started flowing in that everyone got to know the truth. Even though the story where Kang You managed to defeat the minotaurs would inevitably lead to the glorification of him and his people, Kang You wanted no false glory under his name. Thus, when he was asked about the battle, he was brutally honest with the answers and told them about the person who was actually responsible for getting rid of the minotaurs, without his help.
"It wasn't me or Master Zhung who got rid of the rampaging minotaurs. There was no way in hell, we would've been able to do something like that by ourselves. Even thinking about it makes me laugh." Kang You informed one of the reporters over video conference, "But it was a saviour, a messiah who helped us when all hope was lost."
"Who is this great man you're speaking about, master You? The nation is eager to know the person who saved millions of people as if it was not even a big issue for him? At least that's what I can infer from the way you're talking about this so-called messiah." The young female reporter urged the man to divulge the name of the warrior whom even the prideful Emperor, Kang You, had grown to respect and idealise, "He must be a man of greatness to have helped the citizens get out of such a calamity. That too without suffering any casualty as you said."
"Huhuhu, I'm positive most of us already know his name. After all, he is a globally distinguished personality. Someone who is well known for his feats in America- Oh, there he is!" Kang You smiled before pointing his arms towards Arnold and company who were returning after killing the Minotaur enchanter, "Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you, Wuhan's messiah, Lord Deathless!"

There was complete silence as the camera panned out to show a manly figure walking towards them, along with Yu Zhung. Behind them was a ginormous dust cloud. Even though the crowd watching television could only see their silhouettes, Yu Zhung was immediately recognised by the crowd because... well he was the most famous personality in China.
It took a while for the camera to focus on them but when it did everyone was shocked. The people watching the news at home began praying on impulse while the reporter was speechless. They saw the reason behind the dust clouds. Thousands of monsters were walking closely behind the two men.
The crowd was unaware of Arnold's summoning abilities and after seeing the horde of monsters walking behind him, everyone immediately assumed the worst. Especially since Asterios was a minotaur and immediately attracted unnecessary attention. The crowd thought the news was false and the minotaurs were not subjugated.
Kang You on the other hand was confused with the reporter's reaction. While the others saw monsters, he saw beings who saved everyone. Even the small crowd of civilians that had gathered there was cheering loudly for Arnold's safe return, which further added to the confusion.
"I know they look intimidating. When I saw them, I was scared to death myself." Xiaofan, unlike Kang You, was quick to assess the situation and went in to clarify everything before things could get out of hand, "It would sound unbelievable when I say this, but they aren't mindless monsters like those minotaurs who invaded us. Rather, they are Lord Deathless' loyal summons who won't even lift their fingers against someone unless the Lord wishes for it."
"That does sound... unbelievable." the reporter finally gathered herself and mumbled a response as Arnold's army came to a halt before disappearing into nothingness, proving that the monsters were in fact his summons and nothing else, "What a godly arrival."
