Although the relationship between the two countries is not good, the old diplomat still shows a professional smile when the two sides meet.

"Welcome to the land of the free——— Van Riel! Ladies and gentlemen! ”

He strode forward, opened his arms, and said loudly to Bishop Karl and his party who had disembarked from the flying boat, and when he saw the old diplomat, Bishop Karl also walked over with a smile.

"May the Goddess protect you, children of order."

They both looked at each other, smiled, and shook hands.

"Then, come with me, everyone, we have prepared a place for you to live........."

"No need."

Bishop Karl shook his head and interrupted the old diplomat.

"We in the temple take the report submitted by Council Van Riel very seriously, and if we can, we would like to go to the front and see it first........."

Hearing Bishop Karl's words, the old diplomat's brow furrowed slightly, and then the smile on his face became eager again.

"Of course, of course, you've always taken pride in protecting the order, and I can understand that, but it might be a waste of time to go to the front now......... All in all, please follow me. ”

As he spoke, the old diplomat turned his head and led the group outside.

The group quickly left the airport, but it didn't take long for Bishop Karl and the others to find that the road in front of them was flooded——— for the simple reason that the streets and squares were densely packed with people, holding candles and flowers in their hands, and it seemed that something was going on. At this moment, I saw the old diplomat whispering something to his attendant next to him, and then showed an apologetic smile to the people in front of him.

"I'm sorry, guys, I'm afraid we'll only be able to walk before we leave the square, it's been closed here, and we'll send someone to prepare transportation on the other side."

"What is this doing?"

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Bishop Karl asked.

"Looks like they're praying?"

"Oh, it's not a prayer, sir."

The smile of the old diplomat did not change in the slightest, it was completely professional.

"This is mourning......... In the previous battle against those evil beasts, the families of those soldiers who died in battle are mourning for them, hoping that their souls can rest in eternal peace........."

Saying this, the old diplomat sighed softly.

"This is really a blow to us Van Riel, and that's why we want to be supported by the Temple."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but at this moment, the old diplomat's voice became a little louder, which attracted the attention of many people around.

"We all live in this world, so we should support each other, shouldn't we? Your Excellency? These evil monsters are the enemies of all living beings, and we must destroy them! Only in this way can we be worthy of our heroes who died in battle! ”

At this moment, more and more people walked towards this side, looking curiously at Bishop Karl and his party, the bishop's robes they wore were too conspicuous, after all, in Van Riel, no one would wear it like this.

"Old Grandpa........."

At this moment, a child with a candle came out of the crowd and looked at the old diplomat with red eyes.

"Are they the people who people say they are from the land of holy religions? Will they help us destroy those monsters? ”

"Oh, I'm afraid I can't answer that, kid."

Looking at the child in front of him, the old diplomat smiled wryly, and then he looked at Bishop Karl embarrassedly. And the child, too, looked at Bishop Karl.

"This grandfather, will you help us destroy those monsters? Will you help my dad get revenge? ”

Hearing the child's inquiry, Carl reached out and gently touched the other's little head.

"Children, we are all people of order, as long as it is to protect the order, we will not hesitate."

After hearing Bishop Karl's answer, the child blinked his red and swollen eyes from crying, as if he didn't know what to say, while Bishop Karl smiled and nodded, and continued to walk forward.

Seeing Bishop Karl's reaction, the expression on the old diplomat's face did not change in the slightest, he just walked in front with a few retinues, while Bishop Karl and his party followed behind, and neither side spoke after that, so silently walked out of the square where the mourning ceremony was being held, and on the side of the street, the carriage for greeting was ready.

"Please get in the car."

Glancing at Bishop Karl and the others, the old diplomat spoke in a low voice.

"Next, we'll go to the front, where you'll get everything you want to know."

"Well, I'll bother you."

Nodding at the old diplomat, everyone got into the carriage, and then Bishop Karl closed his eyes, and soon the voice of the dwarven bishop was disgruntled in his head.

(Did you see that?) These guys are really good at acting! ）

(They desperately want to tie us up to the chariot......... This is obviously not normal)

The elven bishop's voice was still calm, but there was also a hint of it in his tone. In this regard, the others also nodded, they are not blind, of course they understand what the hell is going on in the Flame Country, maybe the mourning ceremony is indeed real, and the people gathered in the square are indeed the families of the fallen soldiers, but it is not by chance that Van Riel put the ceremony here......... As for what they were thinking, everyone present also knew it.

However.........

(What the hell are they trying to do in such a hurry?) ）

The orc protagonist touched his sleek bald head, his brow furrowed.

(With the relationship between the Temple and the Flame Nation, what is wrong with how eager they are?) ）

(In any case, we are the eyes of order)

Bishop Karl did not answer the question, he opened his eyes and glanced at the wilderness from the car window.

(There is only one thing we have to do, to determine whether those monsters are enemies of order, and if they are really enemies of order, then we can't let the Flame Nation do whatever it wants......... Well? ）

At this, Bishop Karl was stunned for a moment, and then he sat up suddenly.

"Do you feel it?"

“……………”

There was no need for Bishop Karl to say anything more, and the others were also staring at each other in surprise at this moment. The Elven Bishop closed his eyes, sensed them carefully for a moment, and then nodded.

"The forces of order are very stable......... There is not the slightest sign of weakness! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

At this moment, everyone is becoming more and more confused, they are now heading to the front border of the Fire Nation, which should logically be a place where the power of order is quite unstable. But to everyone's surprise, the power of order here is extremely stable, and there is no decline or fluctuation of any order boundary at all!

What's really going on here?

Confused, Bishop Karl and his party arrived at the border fortress of the Flame Nation, and here, through the crystal ball, they finally saw the swarm of insects on the unexplored land on the other side!

"Hiss—————!!"

When the five bishops saw the image projected on the screen in front of them, they almost couldn't help but gasp. I saw that in the image, countless jumping insects were wandering around the entire wilderness, and the periphery was densely packed with terrifying-looking spinal needle crawlers and spore reptiles, coupled with the anti-hidden eye demons and various nest spires dangling in the air, with a fungus blanket like crimson flesh and blood, no matter how you look at it, it is a scene of demons dancing wildly.

If you don't know, they will believe that this is hell!!

"After the Expeditionary Force was wiped out, these terrible monsters appeared in the border area."

At this moment, the commander of the fortress also said to the five bishops with a sad face.

"There are hundreds of thousands of them......... There could be even more! And the important thing is that now we have almost no way to fight these monsters, they will lurk underground to attack, they also have long-range firepower, and more importantly, these monsters are not afraid of death, they will definitely not retreat until they are all killed........."

Speaking of this, the commander also sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

“…………………”

Bishop Karl was silent for a moment, then he looked at the other four bishops and nodded.

"Please get us in touch with the survivors and the first ......... Creature people to meet, we need more detailed information. ”

"Of course, there is no problem."

In response to Bishop Karl's request, the Fire Nation side was also extremely cooperative, and soon, the survivors who had been attacked by the swarm appeared in front of everyone and began to tell their story with palpitations.

“……… Those bugs came out of the ground all of a sudden!! They had never exhibited this before! Those damn monsters are just as cunning as the devil! They just deliberately paralyze us, damn it! Damn it! ”

“……… Are you sure you didn't just stumble into their habitat or something? ”

Looking at the mad mage in front of him, the dwarven bishop asked, and the mage glared at him viciously.

"How is this possible? We weren't attacked as soon as we entered! When those monsters attacked us, our army had already penetrated into the hinterland, and I was at the end of the line, and they outflanked us and completely cut off our connection with the Chinese army! Then the onslaught was launched! We didn't have any support, and if I didn't run at that time, we would have to die! Those cunning monsters! Damn it! Damn it! ”

As he spoke, the mage tore at his hair with a pained expression.

"They're all dead, they're all dead.........!"

“…………… I was the first to lead a team to an unexplored land. ”

The sheriff sat listlessly in his chair, staring at his hands.

"I can't forget my contact with those monsters now......... Those terrible monsters, they killed my men, my retinue........."

"You're lying."

And at this moment, the orc bishop slapped the desk suddenly, his eyes widened, staring at the sheriff, and the holy light in his hand emitted a dazzling light.

"In front of the goddess of order, you must remain in awe, and do not deceive us with lies!"

“…………………”

Perhaps frightened by the roar of the orc bishop, the sheriff was also startled, and he hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, I'm sorry, maybe I misremembered......... Let me think......... By the way, I was in a race with the Iron Shield family to see who could enter the unexplored land first, and then my horse suddenly stopped and threw me off my horse as if frightened......... Yes, yes, I wanted to see what was going on, and at that moment, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder........."

At this, the sheriff seemed to recall that scene again, and his face became bloodless.

"I initially thought it was the Iron Shield bastards, but when I turned my head......... God, I really don't want to remember that horrible monster anymore! I thought I was going to be eaten by it! ”

"But you're sitting here, and you're not being eaten."

The Human Bishop whispered.

"So, what's going on?"

"This ......... To be honest, I don't know much either, but I guess they seem like warnings. ”

"Warning?"

"Yes."

The sheriff nodded.

"I immediately withdrew with my men, after we had withdrawn from the unexplored lands......... The monsters were gone. ”

"None of you were hurt?"

“…………… No. ”

Hearing this, Bishop Karl frowned, and then he looked at the other colleagues again, and sure enough, their expressions became more and more serious at this moment.

It seems that things are not as simple as the Fire Nation says.
