…

In the northeastern part of Seryan.

Within the city nestled in the mountain pass west of the Griffin Mountains, countless refugees filled the streets and alleys.

Holy Sun Priests and clerics rushed among the panicked people who had fled here, consoling the crowd.

The Defender Army and City Guard patrolled the streets, fearing the outbreak of riots.

The guards saw several Foreign-dressed Samurai leading horses on the main road and quickly stopped them, only letting them pass after hearing their identities.

After escaping the questioning, several long-traveled Ranger Knights asked many passers-by and finally found an inn with a tavern to stay in some twists and turns.

Although it was broad daylight, the hall was still packed with drunkards drowning their sorrows.

The recent civil war, Kantadar’s recent invasion from the western border, plus the terrifying rumors brought by the refugees, had the people both inside and outside the city nervous about this year full of disasters.

A few Ranger Knights sent a companion to the counter to gather information, but before he could ask anything from the anxious-faced tavern owner, a nearby conversation between patrons drew his attention.

“…Really!

A Divine Envoy of the Holy Sun!…

A Feathered Messenger from the skies, truly…

Eagle Bay Town was saved, although it seems only about a hundred people survived and escaped back, one of them my cousin, she saw it with her own eyes…”

After hearing about the sensational news, the Ranger Knight returned to his table.

He suggested to his companions: “We might as well stay in the Seryan Kingdom, as the calamity seems to have spread here, and these people seem to need help.”

But another Ranger Knight shook his head: “If there was no call to arms, then so be it, but since we have responded to the call of Lord Larian, how can we break our promise halfway through?

Moreover, from what we’ve seen on the road, the Holy Court has already sent a large army to support Seryan, and whether we are here or not doesn’t make much difference.

But the place that requested aid still needs our help.”

“Right, we’d better hurry on our way, but going through the northwest of the Griffin Mountains is no longer an option, I think we can only take a detour through Garsom from the north to enter the Orland Kingdom and then continue westward,” agreed the Ranger Knight.

The Ranger Knights planned their next move, discussed no further, had a quick meal, and retired early to rest.

The next day, after stocking up on food and drink at the market, they left the mountain pass city and continued on their journey.

Getting on their horses outside the city, before they reached the crossroads indicated by their map to change their route northward, they suddenly felt the ground shake and saw a large contingent of marching horses in the distance.

One Ranger Knight squinted at the flags and curiously said: “…Isn’t that the Holy Lake Knights?

How come we see them in Seryan territory?”

All of them being Rangers from Dinexion, they were naturally aware of the “famous” Holy Lake Knights.

“The Holy City where the Prophet rests has fallen apart, Seryan suffers misfortune, and the knights of Illaril are likely here to participate in a holy war to take back the Prophet’s birthplace,” speculated another Ranger Knight.

In the midst of their conversation, the Illaril Knights’ scouts also noticed them.

A few knights galloped over to them, removed their helmets and saluted.

“By Illaril, may she protect you all,” greeted a Holy Lake Knight.

“By the Holy Prophet,” the Ranger Knights responded.

“Excuse me, gentlemen, is the road to the west leading to ‘Griffin Gate’?

We are knights from Dinexion wishing to support the front lines but are strangers to the roads of your nation,” a Holy Lake Knight inquired.

The Knight Order was unfamiliar with the roads north of the Griffin Mountains in the Seryan Kingdom.

Although they had failed to find clues about the Holy Land from Great Priest Alek days ago, since they were here, the Grand Master decided it would be irresponsible to ignore the plight of the great Illaril’s resting nation, so they led the knights northward to assist in areas where the Seryan Church’s forces were thin.

“We are long-traveled Ranger Knights, not Seryans, and just like you, we are also from Dinexion, but you’re headed in the right direction; it’s not far to the west to the mountain pass city of the Griffin Mountains,” the Ranger Knight answered his countrymen.

“No wonder the accent is so familiar,” the Holy Lake Knight smiled, “Thanks for the direction.

However, it’s quite rare to see traveling Ranger Knights in a group, have you completed a journey of chivalry?”

“No, we are still on a journey fulfilling an oath, heading to the distant ‘Avalon’ to complete a Chivalry Oath,” explained the Ranger Knight.

“Then I wish you all…” the Holy Lake Knight began to say, then paused, eyes widening: “Wait a minute, did you say, you are going where??”
