Alien Knights

Randall left the camp in a hurry, Cumberland's words still echoing in his mind.

"Humanity is the most important and chaotic racial branch and needs a suitable leader to lead them..."

The Holy King wants him to lead a branch of the human race?

What is the meaning of Cumberland's words?

Randall thought over and over, but couldn't come up with any clues.

Judging from past encounters, Randall knew that the Holy King had always valued him, but he never expected what power the other party would give him.

Returning to his team members, the werewolf Aldenan was the first to see his worries: "Did the leader say something to you?"

Kellogg rolled his eyes and asked, "Is it related to this mission?"

Randall took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said slowly: "Lord Cumberland just asked us to complete His Majesty's mission immediately."

Although everyone was suspicious of this statement, no one was willing to ask further questions at this time.

Seeing the other team members preparing their bags, Randall looked at Barbara who looked concerned and asked gently: "Do you still remember what His Majesty said to us before leaving?"

"Which sentence?"

"Your Majesty said that this rescue mission in Taylor City is to create an opportunity for your marriage to be recognized by people. If anything can be successfully completed, then with the merits of this operation, the relationship between humans and the Crusaders will be The union will no longer be hindered."

"Ah, I remember these words, what's wrong?"

Randall sighed: "I'm afraid His Majesty's intention is not limited to our marriage, there are also some things that he did not mention..."

"whats the matter?"

Randall was about to speak when Alfonso's voice came from the distance, forcing him to turn his head.

"When do you plan to leave?"

Randall looked at Alfonso: "Has the road ahead been cleared?"

Alfonso nodded: "After the Far Ember Hills were captured, the enemy's rear formation began to collapse. The entire eastern part of the forest was full of fleeing enemies. Even the fortress defenders around Taylor City began to retreat. Evacuate.”

Randall's eyes lit up: "This means that the passage into the city has been opened?"

"Most of the enemy's watch towers on the western front are unmanned. After this failure, I guess it won't be long before the church will withdraw all its troops to Taylor City and make a last-ditch effort with city defense."

Randall breathed a sigh of relief: "This is great. The other team members and I will set off now and rush to Taylor City immediately."

Alfonso shook his head: "Don't be so impatient. Let me ask you, how long will it take you to walk from here to Taylor City?"

"Well...if we hurry up, it will take about four days."

"Four days later, by the time you arrive at Taylor City, the enemy will have already received news of the defeat and completed the layout of the city's defenses. At that time, it will be very difficult for you to sneak into the city."

"So...what do you mean?"

"There is a way for you to get to Taylor City in half a day, but you need help from others."

"Help from others?"

"Once your teammates are ready, come with me."

Confused, Randall asked the team members to prepare their equipment as soon as possible, and then followed Alfonso towards the high ground of the military camp.

When he arrived at the expeditionary force's Valkyrie camp, Alfonso took off his weapon and explained his purpose to the two Valkyries at the camp gate.

Soon, Ashley, the temporary commander of the Valkyrie Expeditionary Force, a tall and beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, walked up to the crowd, looked at Randall, and asked Alfonso: "The Supreme Dragon God gave the task to this human being?"

Alfonso nodded and said: "They need to get to Taylor City as soon as possible, so they need your help."

Ashley raised her eyebrows and said, "We are not boatmen helping people cross the river."

Alfonso turned his head and said to Randall: "Take out your Majesty's letter of appointment."

Randall took out the appointment letter from his arms and showed it to Valkyrie.

Ashley shrugged helplessly after reading the appointment letter: "I don't understand, if the Dragon God needs a loyal and reliable servant to serve him, why didn't he order us and found this human instead?"

After saying this, Ashley raised her right arm and signaled the sisters to let them go, allowing these people to enter the camp.

Randall followed Ashley and entered the residence where only Valkyrie lived.

This Valkyrie camp built on the highlands clearly has the rough style of North Island architecture.

Tall and sturdy wooden arrow towers, rows of semicircular longhouses, and bustling training grounds.

Seeing the Valkyrie standing in front of the target, easily dodging the six arrows fired by her companions, Aldenan approached Carol and whispered: "I bet you can't beat her."

The orc glanced at the werewolf and said angrily: "I don't know if I can beat her, but I can beat you now."

Lizardman Kellogg stared at Ashley's back and suddenly asked: "Hiss... I heard that the Valkyrie doesn't have a good attitude towards knights or crusaders?"

Seeing Ashley turning her head to look over, the tauren Bulwer said quickly: "My companion has always spoken straightforwardly, please forgive me..."

"Yes, we do not like the knights of the kingdom, nor do we like you Crusaders."

Ashley spoke without hesitation, surprising everyone.

"In our view, human beings who are knights are a group of beings with wavering beliefs. Some of them may begin to doubt the existence of faith because of the enemy's temptation..."

Alfonso interrupted Ashley: "A knight is always loyal to his monarch."

Ashley sneered and said: "During the civil strife in Muxi City a few years ago, it seemed that many knights were bewitched or bribed by the rebels, and ended up stabbing their former comrades with their weapons."

Alfonso shook his head and said, "That's just a very small number of people."

Ashley seemed too lazy to argue with Alfonso, and she continued: "As for the Crusaders, your lives, your strength, and your existence were all created and given by gods, but you put your species Their interests override their beliefs, and they use deception and concealment to achieve their own goals."

Valkyrie's accusation made Kellogg's eyes widen angrily.

"That is the sin of the orc shaman! Other species have always been the most loyal servants of the Dragon God!"

Ashley spat and retorted: "Over the years, the elves have studied so-called science with scholars, constantly questioning the origin of the world, and challenging the authority of gods; the dwarves are obsessed with making money, thinking about how to gain wealth all day long. , even forgetting the rituals of worshiping gods; the werewolf species is insidious and cunning, and even tries to interfere with the transformation ritual in order to expand the members of the race..."

Seeing the others speechless, Ashley pushed back her long golden hair like waves on her shoulders, and said proudly: "Just because the Dragon God is silent about some things, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know. Even We, the maids who serve him, all know clearly how many people in this kingdom are divided. In the end, only we Valkyrie are the most loyal and selfless servants of the Dragon God! "

At this point, Ashley looked back at Randall and said in a deep voice: "But what annoys me the most is that our God always places his hope on you people with unfaithful beliefs, but treats us These Valkyries turn a blind eye!”

Kellogg's anger finally broke out when his faith was questioned in public. He shook his tail violently and wanted to rush forward to argue with Valkyrie.

The tauren Bulwer grabbed him and shook his head at him.

Walking to the griffin's stable, Ashley whistled at the sisters who were wiping their mounts.

"Sifulai! Bring your team and escort a few people to Taylor City with me!"

The delicate Valkyrie with short reddish hair and tiny freckles on her nose nodded towards Ashley, turned around and set off to greet her companions.

Ashley took the bag thrown by her companion, put on the feather crown, carried the long bow on her back, and said to Randall and his party: "Let me make it clear first, I can only mobilize nine Valkyries now, plus one of me, for a total of ten Someone is here to escort you to the east.”

"The carrying capacity of each griffon is two hundred kilograms. After excluding the weight of the Valkyrie, you can allocate the remaining load yourself. I saw that there are orcs and tauren in your team. I estimate that you must Give up some weapons and armor.”

Watching the ready-to-go griffins landing one after another in the middle of the camp, Alfonso patted Randall on the shoulder: "Although Ashley seems difficult to get along with, she is actually a very responsible commander. , she will send you safely to the vicinity of Taylor City."

Randall nodded vigorously.

At Ashley's urging, the six members of the team each climbed onto the back of the gryphon.

With the strong wind blowing from their wings, a group of griffins carried the group of people up to the sky above the camp and flew towards the east.
