Randall hurried out of the camp, Cumberland's words still echoing in his head.

"Humanity is one of the most important and chaotic branches of the race, and needs a suitable leader to lead them......"

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

What is the meaning of Cumberland's words?

Randall thought about it, but couldn't come up with any clues.

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

Back in his team, the werewolf Aldenan was the first to see his concern: "Did the head of the regiment 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 is just asking us to complete His Majesty's mission immediately. ”

Although the crowd was skeptical of this statement, no one wanted to ask any more questions at such a time.

Seeing that the other team members were all going to get ready for their own packing, Randall looked at Barbara with a concerned look on her face and asked softly, "Do you remember what His Majesty said to us when he was leaving?"

"Which one?"

"Your Majesty said that this rescue mission in Taylor City is to create an opportunity for your marriage and mine to be recognized. If any of them can be successfully accomplished, then with the merits of this operation, the union of humanity and the Holy Cult Army will no longer be hindered. ”

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

Randall sighed: "I'm afraid His Majesty's intentions are not only limited to our marriage, there are some things that he didn't mention......"

"What's the matter?"

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

"When are you going to go?"

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

Alfonso nodded: "After the Ember Hills were captured, the enemy's rear forces had begun to break up, and the entire eastern part of the forest was full of fleeing enemies, and even the defenders of the fort around Tyro City had begun to retreat. ”

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

"Most of the enemy's surveillance towers on the western front are already unmanned, and after this defeat, I suspect that it won't be long before the Church will withdraw all its forces to the city of Taylor and make a last-ditch effort with the city's defenses. ”

Randall breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I and the rest of the team will set off now and rush to Taylor City immediately." ”

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

"Hmm...... If you hurry, it will take about four days. ”

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

"That'...... What do you mean?"

"There's a way to get you to Taylor in half a day, but you need help from others. ”

"Someone else's help?"

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

Confused, Randall asked the members of the team to get ready as soon as possible, and then followed Alfonso towards the high ground of the barracks.

As he reached the Valkyrie camp of the expeditionary force, Alfonso unsheathed his weapons and explained his intention to the two Valkyries at the camp gate.

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

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

Ashley raised an eyebrow and said, "We're not boatmen who help people cross the river. ”

Alfonso turned his head and said to Randall, "Take out your majesty's letter of appointment." ”

Randall took the letter of appointment from his bosom and showed it to the Valkyrie.

After reading the letter of appointment, Ashley shrugged helplessly: "I don't understand, if the dragon god needs a faithful and reliable servant to serve him, why didn't he order us, but found this human?"

With that, Ashley raised her right arm and motioned for the sisters to let them go, allowing them into the camp.

Randall followed Ashley into the Valkyrie-only residence.

This Valkyrie camp built in the highlands has a distinctly rugged North Island style of architecture.

Tall and sturdy wooden arrow towers, rows of semi-circular longhouses, and a bustling training ground.

Looking at the Valkyrie standing in front of the target, easily dodging the six arrows fired by her companion, Aldenan leaned in close to Carol and whispered, "I bet you won't be able to 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 right now." ”

Kellogg, the lizardman, stared at Ashley's back and suddenly asked, "Hiss...... I've heard that the Valkyries don't have a good face for either the knights or the Holy Cult Army?"

Seeing Ashley turn her head to look over, the Minotaur Bourville hurriedly said, "My companion has always spoken straightforwardly, please forgive ......"

"Yes, we don't like the knights of the kingdom, and we don't like you holy cults. ”

Ashley surprised everyone by speaking without hesitation.

"In our opinion, the knightly human beings are a group of beings who waver in faith, and some of them may begin to doubt the existence of faith because of the bewitchment of the enemy......"

Alfonso interrupted Ashley: "Knights are always loyal to the monarch. ”

Ashley sneered and said, "In the civil strife in Twilight City a few years ago, it seems that many knights were seduced by the rebels, or were bought, and finally stabbed their blades at their former comrades. ”

Alfonso shook his head and said, "That's just a handful of people. ”

Ashley seemed too lazy to argue with Alfonso, and she continued: "As for the Holy Cult, your life, your strength, and your existence were created and endowed by the gods, but you put the interests of your species above the faith, and used deception and concealment to achieve your own ends. ”

Valkyrie's accusations made Kellogg's eyes widen in anger.

"That's the sin of the orc shaman! The other species have always been the most faithful servants of the dragon god!"

Ashley took a sip and shot back: "Over the years, the elven species has studied the so-called science with scholars, constantly questioning the origin of the world and challenging the authority of the gods, the dwarven species is obsessed with accumulating wealth, thinking about how to grab it all day long, and even forgetting about the ritual of worship, and the werewolf species is insidious and cunning, and even tries to interfere with the transformation ritual in order to expand the membership of the race......"

Seeing the speechless appearance of the others, Ashley pulled the long golden hair on her shoulders like waves to the back of her head, and said proudly: "There are some things that the dragon god is silent, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know. Even those of us who serve at his side know how different the hearts and mouths of many of the people of this kingdom are. After all, only we, the Valkyries, are the most loyal and selfless servants of the Dragon God!"

Speaking of this, Ashley glanced back at Randall and said in a deep voice, "But what annoys me the most is that my god always pins his hopes on you unchaste people, but turns a blind eye to us Valkyries!"

Kellogg, whose faith was questioned in public, finally exploded in anger, and he shook his tail violently, wanting to rush forward and reason with the Valkyrie.

Bulville the Minotaur grabbed him and shook his head at him.

Walking to the griffon's nest, Ashley whistled at the sisters as they wiped their mounts.

"Shifrew, take your squad and escort a few people with me to Taylor City!"

The delicate Valkyrie, with short red hair and tiny freckles on her nose, nodded to Ashley and turned to greet her partner.

Ashley took the bag thrown by her companion, put on the feather crown, put on the longbow, and said to Randall and his party: "Let's be clear first, I can only transfer nine Valkyries now, add one to me, a total of ten people to escort you to the East." ”

"The carrying capacity of each griffin is two hundred kilograms, and after removing the Valkyrie's own weight, you can distribute the rest of the load yourself. I see that you have orcs and minotaurs in your ranks, and I reckon you will have to give up some of your weapons and armor. ”

Watching one after another griffins in full gear land in the middle of the camp, Alfonso patted Randall on the shoulder: "Ashley may seem difficult to get along with, but she is actually a very conscientious commander, and she will send you to the vicinity of Taylor City safely. ”

Randall nodded vigorously.

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

With a strong wind blowing their wings, a group of griffons carried the group up above the camp and flew eastward.
