Chapter 272: D95. And then

"But if the situation becomes irretrievable..."

"Ah, I know what to do." Determination flashed in the Sergeant’s eyes.

Lord Count took a deep breath, nodding.

"Then, I’ll leave it up to you."

"Yes! I will not let you down!" The Sergeant stood erect and saluted.

Lord Count looked at the elite squad already prepared below; though not completely confident, his expression relaxed slightly.

Despite the squad having fewer than a hundred people, which seemed insignificant compared to a vast army, each of these seventy-seven members was a Profession above the Second Transformation, including some who had achieved Third Ascension, Legendary status.

Each person had experienced the refinement of blood and fire, having countless skirmishes with Magic Creatures and even humankind, truly elites forged from the battlefield.

The Sergeant was indeed a battle-hardened warrior, able to take on thousands single-handedly.

Moreover, the equipment of this elite squad was armed to the teeth; each piece, meticulously crafted by the Count’s proud Arcane Logistics Division, had reached the pinnacle of fine quality, nearing Treasure Level standards.

Though small in number, with the combat power of these seventy-seven, even conquering a regular inland city wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Thinking this, Lord Count shook his head with a wry smile.

Border City, as the foremost frontier of the Kingdom and one of the most dangerous zones, harbored a certain pride among its residents towards their long-peaceful inland compatriots, Lord Count being no exception.

Although Black Gate could stir troubles and summon winds in the dark side of the Kingdom, they were merely rats in the darkness. If Black Gate truly had the power to overthrow the Kingdom and crush the regular army, they wouldn’t just be barely surviving in the shadows.

The saying that good always triumphs over evil is not a truth but a conclusion drawn from accumulated experiences; it’s because people who yearn for peace and stability always manage to unite and expel those who thrive in chaos, allowing for a stable life.

This isn’t only Lord Count’s realization but a belief that the Church has long promoted and put into practice.

Lord Count turned to look at the Military Chaplain standing at his side.

"Bishop, I will also need your assistance."

"It is our duty, Lord Count." The Cruising Bishop, now dressed in combat-ready Priest gear, responded solemnly.

As a High-level Bishop who had achieved Third Ascension, he felt no pressure joining this elite squad.

But when his gaze fell on the nearby Sergeant, despite the latter not being his direct superior, the Cruising Bishop couldn’t help but feel respect.

Regaining his composure, the Cruising Bishop spoke:

"Whether it’s the Hero who sent the intelligence, or the Snow Woman venturing into the Highland, they are both Church Professionals.

"Although they serve in the Outer Court and hold no Inner Court office, participating in the rescue is our inherent responsibility."

The Cruising Bishop paused, calming his worries, then continued in a colder voice:

"Moreover, the True Saint Disciples are undisputedly a Cult, and we have the duty to combat evil.

"The leader of Black Gate’s operation, that individual known as Bomber, has been on the wanted list of the Heresy Court for a long time. It’s opportune for us to wield Lord Count’s power to administer sanctions upon her."

As the ruler of the frontier, Lord Count, without much further courtesy with the Cruising Bishop, nodded in response and continued his conversation with the imposing Sergeant, giving the final instructions before departure.

After saluting, the Cruising Bishop also turned and walked towards the military formation,

His face reflected solemnity, but what followed was a complex mix of emotions.

To think that Hero... deserves to be called the prophesied Saintess.

Yet despite how accurate the prophecy is, she hasn’t even reached Second Transformation yet.

Incredulous surprise, deep concern, and a hint of pride mixed into a strange blend, prompting a complex sigh from the Cruising Bishop.

Regardless, to disrupt the enemy’s plans, Lord Count had already dispatched the fastest Advanced Guard. As long as the Hero and the army stayed together, there shouldn’t be too much danger.

Thinking this, the Cruising Bishop felt somewhat relieved.

Unaware that the Hero had already relentlessly pushed forward to the Snowfield, the Cruising Bishop silently prayed.

He only hoped that she wouldn’t encounter Bomber, that infamous madwoman...

Clearly, the Kingdom’s intelligence department wasn’t incompetent; although they previously failed to detect Black Gate’s movements in time, upon receiving key intelligence, they quickly identified the operation’s leader and their nefarious objectives.

Detonating volcanoes, splintering the Highland, open the path to the Reverse Flow Sea... what exactly are these cultists thinking, is something seriously wrong with their minds...

The Cruising Bishop massaged his temples with a headache.
