Kuniel looked at the Dragon Eagle female knight, a serene smile on his face as he spoke slowly.

"Dear Denise, we are still over 1600 kilometers from Odu Village."

"Even at full speed with our Dragon Scale warhorses, it will take at least 20 hours to get there.

"So I want you to go ahead and see the situation in Odu Village first."

"Those damned Church heretics will not remain idle."

"I have reason to suspect they've set a trap."

"The vicinity of Odu Village is very secluded, aside from the Burial Ground there's Azshara's ruins; it's likely they're plotting something left over from the great battle years ago."

"Hence they fearlessly wiped out Boss Bang's army, which clearly means they're prepared to face us directly."

"This implies two points: first, those heretics have enough reliance to deal with us; second, what they're plotting is of great importance."

"Lead the Dragon Eagle Squad to check the situation, then camp 100 kilometers outside of Odu Village and wait for our arrival."

Kuniel squinted slightly, a gleam of wisdom flashing in his eyes. Due to geographic separation, he knew little about Odu Village's situation, only learning about the Calamity Raven Church heretics' approximate forces from Boss Bang's call for help.

He knew the adversary deployed a whole Apostle Corps, including Elder-level figures, but details beyond that remained unknown.

Based solely on familiarity with the region around Odu Village, Kuniel had largely guessed Calamity Raven Church's motives; that area lacks resources, with Azshara's ruins and the Burial Ground being the only noteworthy places.

These locales were explored by the kingdom's expedition, but the abundance of undead and remnant magic arrays made excavation difficult, leading to the kingdom's eventual abandonment of exploratory excavations.

For the kingdom itself, material resources were plentiful; interest lay in ancient artifacts, yet while the kingdom ceased exploration, adventurers and expeditions continually pursued it.

For instance, Baron Bezos who now rules Boss Bang, loved exploring this region in his youth. Despite numerous encounters with undead monsters, burrow monsters, and large beast attacks near living relics, Baron Bezos never abandoned exploration, with many relics bearing traces of his past efforts.

Kuniel holds the noble title of Viscount in the kingdom, and is also a Knight Captain in the Dragon Descendant Knight Order at the Lentates Giant City Branch. Unlike lords who sought enjoyment in their territories, he devoted his entire life to the Knight Order as a courageous Knight Captain.

He is also this expedition's commander, tasked with leading troops to annihilate the heretic influence of the Calamity Raven Church attacking Odu Village.

No matter how remote or insignificant Odu Village is, it remains part of the kingdom's territory, and the Calamity Raven Church's acts are stark invasions, trampling the kingdom's dignity, making expeditionary action necessary.

The nature of this battle places honor above profit; major human kingdoms are in peak form, with Boss Bang and the Giant City amassing vast wealth, and long without large-scale conflicts, save occasional minor skirmishes at border areas.

These are generally swiftly resolved with peace, affecting just a few border villages, while the continent's alien races remain remarkably subdued.

These alien races, once protagonists of the previous era, adopted reclusive respite since the dimensional war, with kingdoms attempting to conquer them paying dearly in blood and fire, losing two Giant Cities in counter-attacks.

This is why every kingdom on the continent reveres them in awe, united in understanding; any alien race that retains blood lineage on the continent is formidable.

Behind their seclusion lies immense combat strength.

They seem to rest and refine, accumulating power, awaiting some great event.

These alien races exhibit minimal aggressiveness, occupying only their own holdings.

The continent is vast with abundant land, making alien territories within kingdoms commonplace, with both sides keeping to themselves.

This balance between the Human Race and alien races is why harmony prevails continent-wide.

The Dragon Eagle female knight named Denise nodded and saluted upon hearing Kuniel's words.

"Yes, Sir Kuniel, I will lead the Dragon Eagle Squad to Odu Village first."

"With the Dragon Eagle Beast's speed, it will only take three to four hours to arrive."

"If we encounter urgent matters in Odu Village, I'll send someone back with the message."

Denise replied to Kuniel, gently pulling the reins of the Dragon Eagle Beast.

Twelve Dragon Eagle Beasts flapped their wings again, slowly lifting into the sky.

"Go, put personal safety first, don't engage them."

"Wait for the army to arrive, then act together!"

Kuniel gave this final reminder as the Dragon Eagle female knight Denise waved her hand at her forehead and elegantly led her squad away.
