There are many mountains in the Kingdom of Babarin, known as the country of mountains. The average altitude of the entire kingdom is more than 2,000 meters. There are many peaks, high mountains and dense forests. It is not so easy to search for a person.
Among the winding mountains, a team of about 10,000 people walked through the mountains. They wore thick armor and rode all white horses. The most striking thing was their bodies and shoulders. , A red cross is embroidered on the shield without exception.
These people marched expressionlessly, and even the falling rocks from the mountain peak couldn't make their eyes blink.
The Holy Crusaders of the Holy See can tell that they are the elite of the elite just by looking at their uniforms and horses.
The leader is also riding a white horse, and is wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier. Except for a statue of a holy angel tattooed on his body, there is nothing special about the other soldiers, but every soldier who walks around him will respect him and stand at attention. , salute, the action is meticulous.
"Report... the fifth team did not find any traces..."
"Report... Seventh Squad did not find any trace..."
"Report... The Ninth Team did not find any traces..."
Groups of Griffin Knights descended from the sky, walked to the seat of the leader, knelt respectfully, and reported the latest news to him.
Riding on the white horse is Wharton, the Lord of the Holy See's Hall of Devotion and the Light Commander of the Holy Crusade. One of the Big Nine didn't go through any flukes.
Even though he is a strong man in the sanctuary, Wharton has no habit of pride and arrogance. He has always maintained the character of a soldier. With his strength and status, he doesn't need to do everything himself. Report the situation to the chief, and then the chief will report to him.
But Wharton is not. He personally interviews every Griffin team, listens to their reports carefully, and even asks some detailed questions. His memory is very good, and he remembers clearly all the reconnaissance situations of the Griffon team. Clearly, he can even say the name of the Griffin Rider.
"Explore again!"
After listening to the report of the Griffon team, Wharton frowned even tighter. For several days, no trace of Ron was found. As time went by, the difficulty of searching gradually increased.
The Royal Griffin Knights belong to the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire and are not affiliated with the Holy See. However, none of these Griffin Knights disobeyed his orders in front of Wharton. Wharton borrowed the Royal Griffin Knights and Like your own soldiers.
prestige!
Yes, the key to Wharton commanding the Royal Griffon Knights is prestige. Even in the Holy Roman Empire, Wharton, who was born in the Holy See, has a strong influence. You can see the sincere admiration in the eyes of those soldiers. Another reason is that Wharton Dayton is a strong man in the sanctuary.
The strong in the sanctuary represent the pinnacle of human beings. On the Noah Continent, every strong in the sanctuary will be respected, and this respect even exists among the strong in the sanctuary.
These Griffin Knights carried out Wharton's orders to the letter, and it was not difficult to understand the fanatical look in their eyes. In Noah's Continent, strength is the most important thing.
"Yes!"
The Griffin Knight performed a standard military salute respectfully, and replied loudly. He quickly mounted the Griffon, and the Griffin flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
"Ugh!"
Looking at the griffin going away, Wharton took off his helmet, stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed his eyes, showing his irritability.
At this time, a chestnut-haired middle-aged man saw this scene and said to Wharton, "Why worry too much, my lord! With the help of a lord himself, and with the help of the Griffin Squad, Ron will definitely be able to catch it. Is it possible to fly into the sky? Besides, even if a necromancer is allowed to escape, he will not be able to make any big waves!"
The person who spoke was Diallo. Although he looked similar to Wharton in appearance, he was a student of Wharton, and his relationship was both a boss and a subordinate.
Diallo is also a genius. His strength has reached the master level, and he is even expected to become a sanctuary before the age of sixty. Wharton loves him and regards him as his confidant.
Wharton shook his head, "You don't understand! The original strength of the necromancer is not as simple as you think!"
Thinking of the messy scene in Asinaris, Wharton's face was serious. He was not sure about Ron's strength, and it was because he was not sure that he was worried.
Is his strength at the soldier level? division level? Or Master? Wharton fell into deep thought. Looking at the extent of Asinaris' damage, he would not be surprised if it was done by a strong man in the sanctuary. He could also do such damage.
"Could it be the Sanctuary? No way? No one would believe the fifteen-year-old Sanctuary. Could it be that it surpassed the Sanctuary..." Thinking of this, Wharton couldn't help laughing. With the strength of Ji, then he doesn't have to run, he can go wherever he wants, why go to such trouble
The two fell into silence immediately. Wharton didn't explain much about the matter, and Diallo couldn't ask any more.
At this time, Diallo suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "My lord, we have already penetrated dozens of miles into the territory of the Barbarin Kingdom. If we continue this way, we will reach the key city of the Barbarin Kingdom. I'm afraid..."
Diallo is indeed a little worried. If there are few people, it is called smuggling. If there are many people, it is called aggression. You must know that there are more than 10,000 people behind him. The Holy Crusaders, as well as the Griffin Knights, are large enough to wipe out a small country. If they are discovered, it is tantamount to declaring war. Even if they do not declare war, it is easy to cause diplomatic friction.
Wharton frowned, "I remember, the Kingdom of Barbarin doesn't seem to have a guardian?"
The guardian actually refers to the strong in the sanctuary, because only the strength of the strong in the sanctuary can give a kingdom the necessary protection, so that it will not be bullied by others, even if a big country faces a small country with a guardian In terms of the sanctuary powerhouse's face, it will not be too much. If there is no sanctuary powerhouse to protect the small country, it will be miserable, just like Ebia, the original sanctuary powerhouse is dead, and there are no other sanctuary powerhouses. Only when he protected him did the Holy Roman Empire dare to aggressively invade and eventually annex it.
"It seems that there is one." Diallo thought for a while and said, "But I heard that he has been missing for more than ten years!"
"Only one? Has been missing for more than ten years?" Wharton smiled, "Then what are you worried about?"
It would be a bit troublesome if there were a few sanctuary powerhouses. What deterrent power would a missing sanctuary powerhouse have against the powerful Holy See? Of course Wharton would not pay attention.
"Yes, my lord is wise!" Diallo also smiled.
"By the way, what's the name of that strong man in the sanctuary?" Wharton asked after thinking about it.
"..."
Diallo couldn't remember, and replied honestly, "Uh, sorry, my lord, it's been too long, I don't have any impression!"
Wharton said "Oh", "It's nothing, since I can't remember it, forget it!"
Every sanctuary powerhouse has its own sphere of influence. This sphere of influence generally refers to countries, organizations, families, etc. The sanctuary powerhouse’s sphere of influence cannot be violated by others. Be prepared to fight to the death with another strong man in the sanctuary, not to mention those below the sanctuary, if you offend a strong man in the sanctuary, you don't know how you will die.
It is precisely because of the existence of the strong in the sanctuary that the country can develop stably. Therefore, some small countries ask the strong in the sanctuary to be the guardians of their country at all costs. Money, rights, and beauty, as long as the strong in the sanctuary speak, They will send it up, with only one condition - to get his asylum.
Of course, this money is not given in vain. After receiving the money, you will naturally have to help others. As the guardian, the strong man in the sanctuary will solve their troubles. Naturally, the strong man in the sanctuary needs to deal with small troubles. It is the challenge of the sanctuary powerhouses from other countries.
A small country with a sanctuary powerhouse sitting in the town is like a reassurance, and it can sleep peacefully.
In a country like Babarin, Wharton will not pay attention to the disappearance of the strong sanctuary as the guardian for a long time. If one is not happy, he will be wiped out by directly mobilizing his army tomorrow, and no one will say anything No word, under the power of the Holy See, who would dare to mess around
At this time, there was a roar of a lion in the sky, and Wharton looked up at the sky. It turned out that another team of griffins had returned, but the griffin was flying crookedly, without the majesty of the king of the sky at all.
Wharton immediately became displeased, thinking that such a guy who disregarded military regulations and disciplines would need to be criticized.
When the griffin fell to the ground, Wharton was shocked. He saw that the griffin was covered with wounds, and in some places, bones could be seen. The beautiful and mighty fur was burnt. The armor of the knight on the griffin's back was also damaged. It was broken, revealing the muscles covered with scars, which was as embarrassing as it could be.
The one who came back was the captain of the Griffon team who was fighting Ron. He rolled down weakly and knelt down in front of Wharton.
"Huh? Don't you have three people in a team? There are two more?" Wharton frowned, "What's the matter with you? It looks like you have been attacked by a lot of magic, isn't it? Did you encounter Barbarin's magician army?"
"No... my lord..." Captain Griffin supported himself all the way back here due to injury, and he couldn't speak at this moment, "I met... met... Ron..."
"Ron!"
When Wharton and the surrounding Holy Crusaders heard this, their hearts moved, and their brows gradually relaxed, as if a ray of dawn suddenly appeared in the dark night.
After searching for days and nights, they finally found news about Ron. How could this not make them ecstatic.
"Where did you meet? Where is he now?" Diallo was surprised and delighted, at this time he glanced at the wound of the Griffon squad leader, and asked hesitantly, "It...wasn't him..., right? "Diallo didn't believe it himself when he asked this sentence.
The captain of the Griffin squad nodded for the first time, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he still answered honestly, "Yes... my lord... this guy is very powerful, he summoned a team of skeletons that can release magic from nowhere, we Flying in the sky, I was also bombarded by them, two of my subordinates died in battle, and even I... "
He said and pointed to his appearance, meaning that you have seen it too.
