Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Krell's light armor was covered with mud, and his luggage was torn to pieces by the thorns along the road.

Looking back,

There were a series of bloodstains on the faces of the soldiers. When they, exhausted both physically and mentally, finally saw the long-lost city of Idar, the tight string in their hearts finally relaxed at this moment. Come down.

The city in front of them and the land beneath their feet was the only home where the soldiers could feel safe.

Before heading to the Armis Mountains, this fully armed team consisted of fifty people, but now...there were only about thirty people following Krell.

The lives of more than a dozen soldiers rested forever deep in the Almis Mountains, but...

Krell looked at the soldiers behind him with torn clothes but firm eyes. Although they experienced hardships and hardships along the way, they finally completed the mission assigned by Bruno's people.

"Enter the city!"

Claire's eyes narrowed slightly and his voice was a little hoarse.

finally arrived at home……

…

Lord's Castle.

Bruno sat behind the desk, quietly listening to Krel's various experiences in the depths of the Almis Mountains, and thinking about the first-hand news that Krel had brought to him.

"You mean..." Bruno frowned and tapped the table with his fingers: "In the Almis Mountains, there is a vast basin that no one has ever set foot on?"

"Although it is off the beaten track, it can't be said that no one has ever set foot on it..." Creel looked solemn, raised his hand, took out something from his pocket, and handed it to Bruno.

"This is……"

What Claire handed over was a pale gold brooch, which shimmered with light gold under the candlelight.

but……

The moment Bruno saw the pattern engraved on the brooch, he felt his originally calm heart suddenly beating violently.

boom……

Bang bang...

The night was quiet, and the bright moonlight poured down, reflecting on the side of the study through the half-closed window.

Bruno used his fingers to squeeze the brooch that Krel handed over tightly, and then...he couldn't help but lock his eyes on the brooch.

This is indeed just an ordinary gold-plated brooch, but...

Although it has been a long time, after so many years of mottled years and wind and rain, the patterns and lines on the brooch have gradually become somewhat blurred.

But Bruno could still clearly identify that the pattern carved in the center of the brooch was a pale golden cross...

The light green paint depicting vines around the cross has faded, and the colorful decorations around it have long become dilapidated, but the cross is like a nail, hammering into Bruno's heart.

This is the cross that represents the church!

As the owner of the Order of St. George, Bruno is very clear about the meaning behind this brooch, it is the Holy Army of the Church!

Those skeletons scattered deep in the Armis Mountains belong to the Crusaders!

When this answer suddenly appeared in Bruno's mind, Bruno couldn't help but let out a long breath and leaned on the back of the seat.

It’s the church again!

Although the war that broke out in the north was anxious and fierce, the changes in the war situation could be clearly presented before Bruno's eyes, but... the Church of Light creeping in the south of the empire brought him an even greater threat at this moment. pressure.

Why are there traces of the church deep in the Armis Mountains?

As an armed force directly under the command of the church, why would the Crusaders appear here, on the territory of Idar? ! ! !

Bruno never believed this could be a coincidence!

Because according to Krell's description, the number of remaining skeletons they discovered alone exceeded thirty!

Let me ask, who would be idle and send his elite soldiers to remote barren mountains and forests without any purpose?

If it weren't for the purpose of finding the undiscovered natural wonders mentioned by the system and exploring the resources hidden in the Almis Mountains, Bruno would not have sent these most precious elites there!

But……

The Armis Mountains are more than a month away from the holy city of Bethlehem!

So this also means that there must be something in the Armis Mountains that attracts the attention of the church. It may be resources or treasures, but what is the purpose? With just these dozens of Crusader skeletons, Bruno can still unknown.

Moreover, what puzzles Bruno the most is that if the Armis Mountains are really so important...

In all these years, why did the church remain indifferent to the eastern part of the empire, never establishing a diocese or a cardinal, and then, with a wave of a hand, awarded itself the honor of having the power of religious interpretation such as the Order of St. George?

Confusion, doubt, confusion.

Compared to the natural wonders sitting there quietly waiting to be discovered, the existence of the church undoubtedly attracted more attention from Bruno.

It seems...

The remaining religious issues in the Idar Territory must be resolved as soon as possible...

"How are the members of the expedition team? Have they encountered any danger?" Bruno rubbed his slightly swollen head and then asked.

He suddenly realized that since the Crusaders would throw their bodies into the wilderness, there might be some unpredictable danger in the Armis Mountains.

"This..." Claire hesitated: "There are indeed some losses..."

"What exactly is going on? The Idar Territory does not need these imaginary numbers. Everyone in the expedition team is an elite in the standing army and the intelligence bureau. How many people were injured and what kind of losses they suffered will be compiled into reports in the future. Report to me in detail!" Bruno said seriously. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

After all... everything in the Idar Territory is now in the initial stage, and the family's financial resources are not strong. Any slightest loss will make Bruno heartbroken!

"Reporting to your lord, Earl...During this exploration, twelve soldiers were killed!" Creel gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"What?!!"

"In fact, in the first ten days or so, although the soldiers of the expedition encountered many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and some soldiers were slightly injured, due to the close cooperation of the soldiers and the brand-new weapons equipment, but there were no casualties.

"All the casualties occurred in that basin deep in the mountains...

"And those bones of the Crusaders were actually found by us in the canyon leading to the basin. After entering the basin... we encountered a kind of magical beast that we had only seen in classics..."

"What kind of monster?" Bruno said seriously.

"Gryphon!"
