When the horn of march sounded in the sky above the city of Dusk, all the citizens stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes in the direction of the city gate.

The knight was hidden in black armor, the keels and limbs twisted and danced in the steel, and the iron hooves of the xenomorph warhorses trampled on the earth, making a heavy, deep sound.

The Valkyrie, wearing a feathered crown, a bow and arrow, and a spear, soared over the city on a snow-white griffin, pointing the way forward for the army on the ground with the banner engraved with a dragon in her hand.

Orcs as strong as mountains, werewolves with sharp teeth and claws, minotaurs with great axes on their backs, and elves with fire and frost at their fingertips......

With 13,000 Knights of the Twilight West and 3,000 members of the Holy Cult Army, the first large-scale use of troops since the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom officially kicked off.

Standing on the terrace of the palace, Todd with his hands propped up on the railing, watched the army march eastward, farther and farther, and asked softly, "Do you understand your duties regarding this operation in Taylor?"

Randall clenched his right hand into a fist, placed it on his chest, and bowed to the king with a military salute: "Your Majesty, understood. ”

Todd nodded, turned around, and pulled a palm-sized round pendant carved with a dragon about to fly from his sleeve.

Slowly holding up the dragon-shaped badge, Todd said, "Unlike the decorative pendants of most members of the Holy Cult Army, this is the dragon god badge, which is infused with some of my power, as long as you hold it tightly, you can guide your soul into the heavens." As long as your soul enters the kingdom of heaven, there is no power in this world that can threaten you. ”

"The number of dragon god badges is very small, and they are basically only issued to shamans and Valkyries of the Holy Cult. Todd hung the badge around Randall's neck and said slowly, "I give it to you now, and I hope you will be able to use its power properly." ”

Randall stroked the badge pattern around his neck with a reverent expression: "Your Majesty, thank you for your favor." ”

Todd nodded slightly, "You deserve it." ”

Randall looked at the badge on his chest, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Todd looked at the expression on his face and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, no need to hesitate." ”

"Your Majesty, then please forgive me...... I didn't understand it a long time ago, you seem to have been ...... to me Take care of ......" Randall said suspiciously: "I don't think I have anything extraordinary, I don't have any extraordinary powers, I'm just an ordinary human being, why are you ......?"

"The confessional room of the church, the defense of Twilight City, the final battle of Lone Rock City......" Todd looked at the man in front of him, smiled and said, "Randall, maybe you don't realize it, but the truth is...... We are somewhat similar. ”

"Similar?"

"We all put the well-being of others ahead of our own interests. Willing to use his life to protect everything he loves. ”

Todd patted Randall on the shoulder: "Strength, power, wisdom, and ambition are just tools for living beings to change the world, but the original intention of purity and sincerity is the source of making this world better." ”

"If there are a hundred more gods in this world, it is just the icing on the cake, but if there is one more saint who is dedicated to goodness, it will be a blessing to cross the boat. ”

Randall hung his head, quietly chewing on Todd's words.

After a moment, he raised his head and said reverently and firmly, "I understand what you mean, and I will not disappoint your expectations. ”

Todd smiled with relief.

Exiting the door of the King's Audience Room, Randall let out a long breath as he looked at his companions in the hallway.

Barbara, dressed in a red dress, walked up to Randall's side and asked curiously, "What did Your Majesty tell you?" Did he mention our marriage?"

Hearing Barbara's question, the werewolf Aldenan looked at the orc Carol beside him with a playful look.

The word "marriage" in Barbara's mouth made Carol's rock-like face tremble slightly.

Soon, however, the orc returned to normal, pretending as if he hadn't heard anything.

Randall subconsciously stroked his chest with his hand and said calmly: "Your Majesty has great expectations for our actions this time. ”

Aldenan spread his hands: "Now, you can tell us what this operation is about, right?"

Randall replied, "We're going to the Heavenly Father's Diocese in the East to rescue some scholars." ”

Aldnan muttered, "Rescue the scholars, I'm afraid it's not that simple......

Carol straightened up and said in a deep voice, "Since His Majesty the Holy King has given the order, then we just need to do it, discussion and speculation are just some superfluous actions. ”

Barbara agreed, "That's right, the Holy Army has two volunteers who volunteered for this operation, they are downstairs, Randall should go and meet them first." ”

Randall nodded, and walked down the stairs at the end of the hallway towards the first floor.

In the lobby on the first floor, a minotaur and a lizardman stood together looking at the second floor.

Aldnan rolled over from the stairs, jumped to the floor of the hall, ran to the side of the minotaur, patted the other man's chest vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Bourville, thank you for your help!

The dark-skinned Bourville, blocking the werewolf's furry paws, said to Randall, who was walking slowly: "Let me introduce you, this is Kellogg, a scout of the lizardman species, and my best friend." ”

Aldenan grabbed the back of his head and said, "Your best friend, isn't it me and Carol......?"

Ignoring Aldenan's complaints, Bourwer continued: "When I heard the news that you needed support, I wanted to ask a few more people to help. However, orcs, werewolves, elves, dwarves, ...... When they heard Randall's name, they turned me down. ”

Kellogg, the lizardman, blinked his eyes and shook his head, "Hiss, Randall, your name has become taboo among many species. ”

Randall smiled wryly and said, "Because I'm a human ......."

Kellogg looked at Barbara: "Shh......h The combination of humans and elves will make the species of the Holy Cult Army feel ...... Unpleasant ......"

The grumpy Barbara raised her head and said in a loud voice, "Let those gossip continue to slander! In my opinion, some human beings are more credible and sincere than those who pretend to be high-minded!"

Kellogg spat out the letter with a headache and said to Bourville, "I regret that I agreed to your invitation in the first place...... Hiss ......"

Bourville looked at Aldenam: "This guy told me that they were going on a great and noble mission by order of the dragon god. Once the mission is completed, not only will all members be rewarded by the dragon god, but everyone's exploits will go down in history forever...... So, Aldenan, tell me, what exactly is this mission?"

The werewolf scratched his cheek: "Honestly, I don't know. ”

"You don't know?!" the minotaur widened, rolled up his sleeves, and made a gesture.

Aldenan hurriedly pointed at Randall and said, "This mission was indeed ordered by the Supreme Dragon God himself, but only he knows the details of the mission. ”

Randall looked at Bulville and Kellogg, nodded and said, "This is not the place to talk, maybe we can find a quieter place to sit down and talk slowly." ”
