Long Yi was stunned. The antics of these five blockheads were rather over-the-top and ostentatious. They failed to offer gifts, and are now wanting to become followers? In reality, each Guardian Dragon Knight was always surrounded by a series of followers, all from prestigious noble families. Being a follower of a Guardian Dragon Knight was not only far from disgraceful, but also brought honor to their families. After all, the Guardian Dragon Knights stood at the pinnacle of this world's power hierarchy, with a status that could even rival that of the emperor! Doesn't it feel glorious to serve under a general who serves under the emperor? Or to serve under a Guardian Dragon Knight whose status matches that of the emperor?
No need for deep thought, just using a bit of spinal cord to think can lead to a conclusion.
Neither is glorious, of course.
