Section 18 Preparation

The expression on Perrin's face made his answer clear.

"There are two things you have to pay attention to, though. Karl added. "First, you have to pay attention to whether this is a trap or not. Although it seems that the Shem people are trying to repair relations with us, it can also be understood as a test. What if they stumble us and make your actions fail...... This dealt a severe blow to the prestige of the Church. And this kind of thing can't be prevented. ”

"Indeed, Your Majesty the Archbishop, I will be very attentive to this matter. I will be most cautious and think of everything in the worst way. ”

Carl nodded. "Second, even if everything is going well, don't rush into action. ”

"Oh?"

"If you take the men and horses over, you will kill the Greenskins and disintegrate the Greenskins before they can cause harm...... Do you think anyone would pay special attention to this achievement? Conversely, if the Greenskins had already invaded on a large scale, wiped out a few small units on the front line, and even captured a few castles and fortresses on the front line. At this time, the Holy Knights killed the Greenskin Boss and turned the tide...... In this way, the influence of the church can be maximized. Moreover, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, and the Holy Knights are unfamiliar with the place, so it is not a simple matter to search for the boss in the greenskin army. The greenskins are savage, but they are not unintelligent. This sniping can only be used once...... If you go through one or two small battles, you can better confirm the approximate location of the boss. See what I mean?"

Perrin owes a debt to indicate that he fully understands what the archbishop means.

"Besides, you'd better take the time to interact with the Shem as much as you can and make a little connection. You know, since that incident, the relationship between the Shem and us has been very cold, and we have almost cut off news from within their court, especially at the highest level. What does the Queen Mother of the Regent like and hate now...... We know almost nothing about things like that. However, this matter can be used as a minimum, and it is enough to pay a little attention to it when you have time. The most important thing now is to further expand the influence of the church. ”

"You can go. Be prepared and set off in three days. ”

Perrin was gone, and Carl was now sitting alone in the room, gently tapping his hand on the handle of his chair, contemplating the future situation. The sound of the side door opening and closing interrupted his train of thought, and Carl saw someone walk in through the side door without permission.

Originally, in this case, this guy who didn't know etiquette should be scolded well, but this time, there was no anger on Carl's face. In fact, after seeing who the other party was, his mind moved on to something else.

What appeared to him was a young woman. Although she is said to be a woman, she wears a beautiful leather armor and a sword around her waist, and she looks like a guard.

"His Majesty the Archbishop...... What are you thinking?" the female guard didn't care about Carl's fiery gaze in the slightest, and walked up to Carl. As he spoke, he lowered his head so that Karl could look through her chest - clearly seeing that there was nothing in the armor.

"Miss you...... ...... on his body," Karl smiled with an ambiguous smile on his face. Suddenly, he reached out with lightning and hugged the other person. “...... taste. With an intoxicated expression, he put his face between the other party's neck, gently sniffing the other party's body fragrance, and at the same time reached in from the other party's neckline with one hand, and kneaded the two soft flesh inside.

"Hmm...... Oh...... Yes...... No, no...... Here it is...... Hall...... No...... There are a lot of people's ......."

"Put a hundred hearts!" said Carl. "Hey...... Let's be here, right on this throne...... There will be no problem, no one will dare to come in without my orders. ”

"Ah...... Well...... No way...... People on the outside...... ...... will hear"

"Just let them listen...... That's what makes it interesting......"

As she walked out of the doorway, Perrin heard the happy moans of the woman coming from inside the interview room. He frowned slightly in disgust, but didn't stop.

Are these bad malignancies of the archbishop really ...... Although as a subordinate, you should not say this about your superiors, but if the Church of the True God can change an archbishop and expand its influence or something, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, he tried to speed up his pace. You should gather a team of Holy Knights with the power of God's Grace...... But to be honest, he already had a choice in his heart. In the case of a raid and a sniper, that one is the most suitable.

But speaking of which, those guys are in a sense...... It's a bit like the archbishop. Sometimes I really don't understand what the gods of the star field are for...... Hey, but on the other hand, they're good for the dirty stuff.

Perrin soon rode to the military camp outside the city of Oren.

"Where's Rohr?" he asked the sentry standing guard at the door as soon as he got off his horse.

"Lord Rohr is here...... Where's the little training ground inside!" The sentry recognized Perrin and quickly replied.

"What about Roger? and Sade...... Where are the few of them?"

"It should be in the barracks. Yesterday...... Yesterday...... One of the servants was beaten half to death by Master Thad because he disturbed the ...... His interest in playing cards. ”

The so-called military camp is actually a castle not very far from Oron, where the Holy Knights, the core armed force of the Church of God, are usually stationed. This force had a full three thousand knights.

Many ordinary people believe that the Holy Knights are all super soldiers with the power of the gods, and only the Holy Grail Knights in the Stygia region can compete with them. But in reality, the Holy Knights with the power of the gods are only a part of the Order. Moreover, many knights were killed by vampires in the previous Battle of Callean.

Today, although the Holy Order has recovered on the surface and its personnel have been replenished, in fact, the strength of the Order is far from being restored in a short period of time. There are not many knights with the power of the gods now, so each of them has received the title of officer. They are not really used as junior officers, but rather form more independent detachments to carry out various tasks. The reason for this measure is mainly to give the outside world the impression that "the Holy Knights are still strong".

But even without considering the power of the gods, the Holy Knights are indeed an extremely powerful military team. Three thousand well-armed, well-trained, and high-spirited knights were a formidable military force that could not be ignored anywhere, and an important guarantee of the safety of the city of Oren.

However, due to the small number of knights with the power of the gods, they have now received a lot of extra care and have a lot of privileges. For example, they had a particularly high salary, they lived in the best part of the barracks, and they had a training ground for their use only.

Perrin was soon on the periphery of the training ground. At a glance, he saw a man standing in front of a training humanoid stake with a sword. The man was tall and thin, but his whole body exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, like a thin and sharp knife.

In the short time since Perrin took a step, he saw the man strike. The sharp thud of the long sword piercing through the air rang out, so fast that it was impossible to see the trajectory of the sword, and by the time the sword could be seen again, the training target had been cut into eight pieces.

After doing all this, the man did not seem to be happy at all, and casually threw the sword in his hand into the distance, and threw it right on a stone. The clash of steel and rock produced a screeching sound, and anyone familiar with weapons knew that the sword had at least made a gap. At the very least, it has to be re-polished.

"Hey, do you know how much this sword is worth?" shouted a man dressed as a logistics officer not far away.

"What a fool I am, idiot!

"This is to test your strength!"

"Uncle Ben is here every day to cut these stakes! I don't stay here to be a woodcutter!

"Rohr!" Perrin shouted. The tall, thin man turned his head.

"Oh, Captain Perran, what are you doing?" Rohr's face showed no respect for his superiors.

"The order to dispatch is coming. Perrin pondered in his heart, why did so many excellent knights die in the Battle of Callean, but a guy like Rohr is still alive? Of course, Perrin knew that it was actually not anyone's fault, and Rohr rushed to the battlefield immediately after getting the power of the gods, but unfortunately the war ended just halfway through. It's just a matter of luck. Sometimes Perrin really wishes that Rohr could meet a vampire. No matter which one of the two sides hangs up, it is a good thing.

And the power of Rohr's divine favor is also very strange. Everyone knows that the divine power of the Holy Knight comes from the blessings of the gods of the Star Field. The most common form is to acquire a god-given magic weapon that can only be used by individuals. This is the case, for example, with Perran. However, Rohr's strength is not a weapon, but an extremely enhanced physical strength, reflexes, and speed. For example, Rohr can easily jump up to two floors without the help of a run-up.

"Dispatch orders? What kind of thief has run away, do you need me to chase it? Wouldn't that kind of thing just be left to the guards?"

"No, we're going to the battlefield. Once again, the Greenskins of the Ironclaw Mountains are about to invade, and our mission is to deal with the Greenskins' boss. ”

"Hah, that quest sounds interesting. There was a rare hint of a smile on Rohr's thin lips. "I like it. When are you leaving?" he asked.

"Within three days. However, it's best to pack it up today and leave tomorrow. ”

"I'm always available. ”

Perrin continued along the wooden wall. There was no one anywhere else in the training ground, which made him suddenly realize that there were really too few knights with divine powers. If this operation is a trap set to take out a team of Holy Knights with the power of the gods...... It may be that the last fig leaf of the Church of the True God will not be able to hold on.

Since the Battle of Kalean, the number of knights who have received the favor of the gods has simply plummeted. But the problem is that it is the will of the gods to destroy the vampires of Callean.

Perrin shook his head, shoring the things out of his mind. These are not questions that he should consider.
