Chapter 1: The Knights of the Falcon
When Frante heard the news, his expression was the most surprised. A deep-seated disgust ensued, for he really didn't want to hear the word Order anymore.
Heesed told us that this time we were going to work with the Order's Falcon Knights in order to investigate the root cause of the previous mutation in the Orc Lands.
And this mission is an invitation from the Order, which has nothing to do with us, to go to the Delman Empire to assist in the investigation. Heatother handed us the Pope's letter of commission, and we were all amazed.
Everyone present had actually heard some rumors about the Order to some extent, and they didn't have a good impression of it.
Frante, in particular, was once a knight in the Order's Order. Because of this, he also knows the Order best.
It is known that the Order was the only legal religious organization in the Delman Empire. The Order believes in the Seven Gods, the seven gods who are in charge of mankind. They are Raus, the god of love, Hunter, the god of hunting, Raquel, the god of luck, Pamela, the god of truth, Wizdem, the god of wisdom, Sarn, the god of the sun, and Arenac, the god of war.
This time, the Order offered to cooperate with us, and this involved the interests of the Kingdom of Norsland and the Delman Empire, and we had to report to the lord of Golgaron, Horf.
With the approval of Lord Holf, Captain Heatside agreed that we would work with the Order to investigate the root cause of the mutation.
There was only one person, and he didn't look that good, and that person was Frank.
A few days later, the president asked me, Avina, Nataya, Frante, Kelvin, Mayfair, and Lofes, the seven of us, to complete the mission. Because this mission is not trivial, Heatside has a lot to tell us.
We packed our gear and bags and prepared to head to the predetermined location, and the captain of this mission was still Nataya, and we had no dispute about that.
"Well, you don't look good, what's on your mind?" I said when I saw Frante, who was in a trance
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of an indescribable feeling. Frante smiled at me reluctantly
"When I come back this time, I invite you to drink at the Giant Bear Hotel for three days and three nights. I patted him on the shoulder
The location we agreed with the Knights of the Falcon was the Death Mountains, located in the northern part of the Delman Empire. The name still sounds quite oozing, but I don't know what will happen then.
After nearly half a month of trekking, we finally arrived at the foot of the Death Mountain Range at the urging of Nataya.
The Falcon Knights had already set up a makeshift camp at the foot of the mountain, and a group of seven of us arrived at the gate of the camp.
When the knight guarding the gate saw us and asked us what we were doing, Nataya took out the letter of commission from the bishop and showed it to the knight who inquired.
When the knight saw the bishop's letter, he immediately became much more respectful and let us in.
All seven of us dismounted, with the knight leading the way. The knight motioned to a few of the boys nearby to find a place to tie our horses, and we followed the knight to the command tent in the camp.
When we arrived at the command tent, the knight told us to wait a moment before he went in to make an announcement.
Immediately after, three knights came out of the tent.
The knight in the middle was dressed in heraldic armor and had a beard, looking very calm.
The knight to his left had to mention that at first glance it was anything but a thing in the pool. The knight looked young and handsome. Wearing a coat of heraldic armor with a coat, the most striking thing is the golden eagle badge on his chest.
From the moment Frant entered the camp, the look on his face betrayed his disgust. Until he saw this handsome knight in front of him, his eyes showed disbelief.
Because only he knows what this badge represents, knowing that it was issued by the Pope himself. Used to recognize knights who have made outstanding contributions to the Order and are ranked in the top ten in strength, this badge is the legendary Ten Paladin Badges of the Order.
So the young knight in front of him is the Eagle Paladin, one of the ten major paladins of the Order, what a glory.
In contrast, the female knight on the right is not so conspicuous.
You know, a woman can't be a knight, but the female knight in front of her is obviously not to be underestimated. The female knight was covered in plate armor and had red hair. The appearance is not stunning, but it is definitely attractive.
"Hello, I'm Daun, the head of the Knights of the Falcon, and I'm honored to have you here. The knight in the middle said
"Hello, I'm Nataya, from the Demon Hunter Blade Mercenary Regiment, these are my companions. ”
In this way, we greeted each other and got to know each other. The handsome knight was named Gregory Gerald, and he was the deputy head of the Knights of the Falcon. The female knight's name was Catherine Jones, the only female knight in the Order.
Just as we were about to enter the command tent, a loud bang was heard.
All eyes were on the direction of the gate, followed by a few screams.
In an instant, all of us subconsciously drew our swords and entered the battle state.
I saw that the camp was full of green light, and everyone was fighting the enemy.
"It's a ghost invasion!" someone shouted, and the camp's alarm bells rang.
"I'm sorry guys, but I hope you can protect yourselves. Daun, the head of the Knights, drew the iron staff from his waist and rushed towards the invading wraiths.
Gerald also picked up a two-handed sword and slashed off a green wraith.
"Take care of yourself, kids. The red-haired knight named Catherine shouted and rushed towards the hordes of wraiths, only to see that she had a steel shield in her left hand and an iron battle axe in her right hand, and she was very brave.
The seven of us also drew our weapons and prepared to fight, but those resentful spirits were extremely terrifying, and they would not be harmed by the attack, and they would always recover as before. But their attacks were so terrifying that many of the knights fell.
Frant looked at the scene in front of him, how imaginary it was to be at that time.
It was the same day, with heavy snow in the sky. With him, Frante was ordered to clear the village of a group of pagan barbarians, but unfortunately more than twenty of them were besieged, and more than five hundred armed barbarians surrounded them.
Frante fought bloodily with his comrades, and for a time the corpses were strewn all over the field.
One by one, the knights fell, and at last only Frante and him remained, and by this time they had slain two hundred armed barbarians, and their strength was gradually exhausted.
The barbarians were also shocked by the amazing combat power of these knights, and they did not dare to step forward for a while.
At this moment, he saw a war horse that had not yet been hacked to death.
He asked Frant to mount his horse and retreat, but Frant refused. The horse could not carry two knights in full armor, so he knocked Frant unconscious and mounted him on the horse.
"I'm sorry brother, we can't all die here. He slapped the horse's stock hard
