"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere are some gifts for you here, so please take a look. ”

Sirius the Strategist stepped forward and glanced at Myer with a keen eye, then took what he had in his hand. In fact, in addition to the treasures he had received from Bellanini, Salian had brought with him a number of other treasures which the Vice-Chancellor's mistress and daughter would surely enjoy.

But the Lieutenant Justice didn't even bother to look at it, and said to Meyer in a softer voice.

"Now that the Holy See's health is getting worse day by day, I, as a deputy justice, have to share his worries, and recently there is a confidential and important event in the Holy See that needs some brave people. ”

Meier quickly lowered his head, indicating that he was listening.

"The city of Severus, the capital of the Flat Empire at the easternmost tip of our western continent, has been besieged by the infidels for a long time, so their emperor Justin XI recently sent an envoy to the holy capital, hoping that our western countries can re-form a cathar jihadist army to help them. ”

"This is a great thing, Your Excellency. Meyer said reverently.

"Yes, but in order to prevent the envoy from coming, the Turde Empire has also sent many assassins, and most of the people I arranged to greet the envoy have already been killed. Now the remaining guards and emissaries themselves are trapped somewhere in the southern orcs and bloodline territories. ”

The strategist Sirius also added at this time: "If we lose the messenger, we will lose the religious moral high ground, so that the Turde Empire will easily capture the 'Severus City', and then they will invade our western kingdoms in a big way, and the first of them is your Divine Grace Empire." At the same time, the identity of the envoy this time is not ordinary, it is Her Royal Highness Princess Eudora, the niece of Justin XI. ”

"Is it so serious?!, Your Excellency, what do you need to do next?" asked Meyer, feigning surprise.

"Hehe, I've heard that you're very good at protecting key players, and you have a good track record in the Divine Grace Empire and Mullarsen. I want you to meet the emissaries of the Whira Empire, fight off the Assassins, and escort her safely to the Holy Capital. ”

Sure enough, the Lieutenant Justice wanted to test Meyer's loyalty and ability.

"Your Excellency, it is really scary to entrust such a significant event to you, and you will do everything you can to protect Princess Udora, the Eastern Envoy. ”

"Well, there's one more thing to reward you. ”

Borhafa threw a badge on his desk tied to a gold chain to Meyer, and he deftly caught it, but didn't know what it was for.

On the side, Resache smiled and said to Meyer: "This is the badge of the deputy justice guard, and you will be a captain who controls a hundred elite guards from now on." If done well, the position of commander is not out of reach. In the future, if my uncle becomes the Pope, I think there will be no shortage of appointments to the Pope's direct bodyguard. ”

Meier said with a look of great joy at the moment.

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency. And my good friend Resache, thank you. ”

After Meyer left, Resache said to his father.

"Hehe, dear uncle, I like Meier very much, Mauricio also thinks highly of him, I want to use him well in the future. And he revealed a lot of things at his mother's hotel, and these vulgar mercenaries were most fond of bragging about the so-called 'great deeds' they had done before women. ”

"Well, I will cultivate your own power, it is difficult for a famous person like Mauricio to manipulate, Meier is indeed very suitable, if I can do it well this time, I will spend money to recruit him again, oh no, it is for you to recruit him, haha. ”

"Hehe, thank you, my uncle. ”

The second son, the eldest of whom was uneducated and drunk, and the third was weak and useless, and only Resache inherited his ruthlessness and resourcefulness.

"Your Excellency, I think this mercenary has a tough face and is unruly, and he doesn't look like a person who is easy to trap. ”

As everyone left the room, leaving only Yereel Doresi and the Lieutenant Chancellor, Itkanglia spoke to her mistress.

"This is also my chance to train Resache and see if he can transport the means to control his subordinates. ”

"Is it okay for my brother to befriend this guy too?"

"No problem. If you wish, the Duke of New Mark asked him to send a gemstone bracelet for you. ”

That night, in Cezella's secret stronghold, Meyer told the three girls about the task given to him by the Vice-Chancellor.

"Going to the territory of the Orcs and Bloods to fight the heretics seems like a difficult trial. ”

"Yes. However, according to the plan, as long as Princess Eudora is protected to reach Itkanlia, there is a commercial magic array that leads directly to the holy capital in the water city of Veneto in the northeast. In this way, it is about a hundred kilometers of arduous journey, which is actually not far. ”

"Then let's all go with you, it should help you. ”

"Hehe, thank you, I know that you are not weak little girls, but there must be many bystanders present in this operation, and there are many spies from all sides, and I don't want to expose your strength. ”

"Well, why don't we quietly follow you, and we can help in times of crisis. ”

"Yes, that's fine. Sizela, please stay in the Holy Capital and keep an eye on the Holy See's every move, Hilda and Chieko, you should leave a day later than me, and pay attention to concealment. ”

"Good. "No problem. ”

So Maier set out on a handsome horse given to him by Resache, and two hundred of the Vice-Chancellor's guards accompanied him as guides and helpers. Hilda and Chieko also quietly went on their way the next day, and Salian and Hilda privately agreed that if the matter was urgent, she would turn into her own body and leave with the princess.

After two days of rapid marching, the hussar team appeared on a side of the road in the Hawkeye orc territory, where they successfully found the men guarding the princess's convoy, and then Meier went to their temporary campsite to meet Princess Eudora.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you have been frightened, and you have been ordered by His Excellency Alex Borhafa, Vice-Chancellor of the Holy See, to protect Your Highness. ”

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Excellency. There is only one lonely city left in our country now, and if we don't get the help of the Western countries, we will definitely forget the country, so I must not die before I reach the holy capital. It's not for myself, it's for our continent. Without it, the power will reach the western part of the continent. ”

In a modest marching tent, Meyer met the royal nobleman, a descendant of the thousand-year-old empire, Princess Eudora's appearance could not be said to be particularly beautiful, and it was completely incomparable to the many stunning beauties Salian had met. But she has an extraordinary bearing and is quite knowledgeable, which makes Meier admire. Sure enough, it's very different from them, the barbaric hillbillies of the West.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured that you will be sent to the Holy Capital. ”

Leaving the princess's tent, Myr consulted with several of the leaders of the guards about the journey. The former captain of the guard first explained the current situation.

"We set out with five hundred men, and after all the poisoning, sneak attacks, and assassinations along the way, there were only a hundred guards left, and they were all exhausted. ”

"With the 200 people we brought, there are still 150 kilometers to go, and there is no way to survive without changing. This place is surrounded by orcs and bloods, and they have nothing to do with us in the first place, and some of them are vassals of the Turde Empire, so it is a blessing not to be discovered by them. "One of the leaders who came with Meier was an experienced and veteran mercenary with a keen understanding of the current form.

Listening to their words, Meyer continued, "Who are the assassins, I want to think of what can be done. ”

"When we walked through the forest, we were sniped by a long-range magic gun, and many people were probably masters of the Sultan of the Turde Empire. There are all kinds of weapons used against our opponents, and they are mostly mercenaries. As for poisoning, it must be the good deeds of those Sun-Chasing God Sect wizards.

"Well, how about that, let's find someone to sit in one of the two carriages she brought in place of the princess, and let the two hundred new men escort part of the convoy first, and the original hundred people will rest here for a day, and then escort the rest of the carriages to set off, and the next one will take the princess and important documents alone on the path. ”

"Oh, that's a good idea, but it's not too risky, is it!?"

Indeed, this strategy is very risky. If it is seen through, it will put the princess in an extremely dangerous situation.

"It doesn't matter, all the responsibility is borne by the subordinates, and even if we gather together and go together, according to the current situation, the three hundred people will only end up in the annihilation of the whole army. ”

"Well, since that's the case, then as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess herself agrees, we will not object. ”

In the end, they received an answer from the princess, who agreed to Meier's suggestion without hesitation, she said.

"Your Excellency Meier, please rest assured, I am not a pampered caged bird, the country was already in danger when I was born, and since I was sensible, I have been practicing martial arts with the instructors of the Guards, although I cannot compare with professional soldiers like you, but I am safe. ”

"Haha, you are really for the different princesses. So let's quietly leave camp tonight. ”

"No. ”

In the uncertain moonlight, Meyer and Princess Eudora rode out of the camp, not even using torches to keep their whereabouts secret. And so they walked day and night for two days, and no one stopped them.

But on the third day, while walking through a rough mountain road, Meier suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, look at the terrain, this is an excellent place for ambushes, please slow down for the time being, and go down to see the situation. ”

After getting his approval, Salian used "simulated levitation" to go to a nearby hillside and found that there was indeed a problem. Dozens of corpses that had been killed by heavy techniques were dead here. He approached the corpse and examined it, and found that they were all half-orcs wrapped in baskets of white turbans, mainly the Foxtail and Hawkeye clans, all armed with bows and arrows or magic guns, and they looked like they had just died, and their blood had not yet coagulated.

All of these characteristics suggest that they were members of the most elite Sultan's personal army of the 300,000 Turks. Known as the strongest in the world, the Turdian Sultan's personal army is a slave army directly under the Sultan, all members of which are selected from the authentic half-orc boys in the Western continent occupied by the Turde Empire, and are not allowed to marry in their lives, but can only live in collective dormitories in the military camp, and inculcate in them for a long time the teachings of the Sun-Seeking God and various advanced military techniques, and when they reach adulthood, they will all become fanatical Sun-Chase cultists who have mastered the skills of war. At the same time, they are all brothers, and supplemented by the fairest system of rewards for meritorious deeds as the driving force, this orc slave army is extremely effective and has always been the trump card in the hands of the Sultan.
