Entering the central hall, Orr and Bray stopped roughly in the middle and gave a standard knightly salute to the current pope.

"His Majesty the Pope."

"Um."

King Laev XXIII looked at the two of them and expressed his condolences: "Al Torfin and Bray Gedef, thank you for your hard work this time to support the Kingdom of Dawn against the undead monsters."

"It's your duty, it's not hard work." The two responded in unison.

"Very good." Layev XXIII nodded lightly, "Is there anything unusual about the undead monsters in this mission?"

This is a question that is asked every year. The church must pay attention to the movements of undead monsters at all times and be prepared to deal with the large-scale southward invasion of the undead army led by the Khaztu.

"Your Majesty."

As the leader of the group, Orr has always been the first to stand up and report. After all, Red Sand Fortress is the main battlefield against undead monsters.

"The scale and type of undead monsters encountered by Red Sand Fortress this time are basically the same as the last time. With the joint cooperation of both parties, we once again blocked the southward invasion of undead monsters."

Regarding such a result, the Cardinal had nothing to ask.

The next step is to prepare for the task.

"The number of undead monsters encountered in Border Guard Town this time was larger than before, and there were even carrion sandworms."

"Oh? Even the Carrion Sandworm has appeared?"

The middle-aged cardinal's face was solemn. He knew that the Carrion Sandworm had only appeared in Red Sand Fortress before.

"Fortunately, the breach of the northern city wall last time made us vigilant, so we specially sent more men there. You shouldn't have suffered too many casualties, right?"

"No," Bray replied.

"That's good."

"Terlenbe, the number of undead monsters encountered by Border Guard Town in winter is increasing year by year."

The old cardinal stroked his beard while guessing: "Do you think it is possible that the undead army of the Kazitus used Red Sand Fortress as a cover to suddenly launch a main attack on Border Guard Town and invade the south in one fell swoop?"

Hearing this, Telembe nodded cautiously.

"Lemy, the situation you mentioned is indeed worth paying attention to."

"If Border Guard Town is lost, wouldn't there be Dongsheng Fortress in the south that can continue to resist?" Freya Lutis asked for the first time.

In this regard, Tailenbei explained: "Dongsheng Fortress has not fought undead monsters for a long time. With so many enemies suddenly appearing, they may not be able to defend it."

Finally, Lemy looked up at Laev XXIII and expressed his opinion.

"His Majesty the Pope, it would be best to remind the Dawn Kingdom to pay more attention to the situation in Border Guard Town and not to allow undead monsters to take advantage of it."

King Laev XXIII nodded in agreement: "It is indeed necessary to take precautions. I will write a letter to remind the King of Dawn Kingdom."

The discussion about undead monsters ended here. Layev XXIII looked at the two people he had summoned.

"Have you brought the latest information about the Kingdom of Morning Light?"

Orr immediately stepped forward to salute and said: "His Majesty the Pope, I have something important to report to you."

"Say it."

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Orhui reported: "The old king of the Dawn Kingdom died of illness last winter, and he made a will to appoint the third prince White Wells to inherit the throne. However, the eldest prince Legovis Wells doubted the other party.

If you cheat and recruit troops in Fengsuicheng, I'm afraid a battle will break out between the two sides."

"Has the old King of Wells passed away..."

King Laev XXIII thought for a while and said: "This is an internal matter of the royal family of the Kingdom of Dawn, and we are not in a position to interfere too much. However, we still have to pay attention to who the new king is."

"Also, when I returned to the royal capital, the third prince handed me a volume of letters and asked me to deliver them to His Majesty the Pope."

After speaking, Orr took out a roll of parchment from his arms, stood there, lowered his head, and offered it with both hands.

Raev XXIII nodded to Freya, who immediately understood and walked over to take the letter, opened it and checked it before handing it over to the Pope.

After reading the letter, Layev XXIII pondered for a moment.

"Well...I know."

Then he looked at Lemi and ordered: "Lemi, please prepare a congratulatory gift and send someone to deliver it to Patriarch William in Junhui City, so that he can bless the new king for me at the coronation ceremony. I hope that the two countries will

Continue to have a good relationship.”

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope." Lemy bowed respectfully, stroking his chest.

After handling this matter, Raev XXIII looked at Orr and Bray again and asked: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Bray finally found the opportunity to step forward and said, "His Majesty the Pope, something happened when he went to Border Guard Town to perform his mission."

"Say it."

With permission, Bray gave a general description of the mission experience.

When he learned that Bray had been deceived by Duke Eddie, Telembe couldn't help but accuse him: "Bray Gurdjieff, you were deceived. You really lose the face of the Templars."

"I'm very ashamed." Bray lowered his head deeply.

"Hey, Terenbei, as the lord of Dongsheng Fortress, Duke Eddie should be very familiar with the situation in Border Guard Town. It is understandable that Bray Gedef chose to believe his words."

Lemy was tolerant, and then said to Bray: "According to what you said, Border Guard Town successfully defused the early attack of the undead monsters. What is going on? Please explain it."

"yes."

Bray went on to talk about what he saw and heard in Border Guard Town.

The lord of Border Guard Town, the Marquis Aisen, formed a militia composed entirely of civilians and intensively trained to deal with threats from the north.

"Militia team?!" Terenbei looked in disbelief. "Civilians will be scared to shit when they see undead monsters. How can such a team have combat effectiveness?"

"have."

Bray's tone was very firm, and he said firmly: "This militia has great trust in their lord. Their morale is high, and their discipline and organization are as good as ours. The Knights Templar. They dare to rush forward to fight in the face of undead monsters. This is

I saw it with my own eyes."

After a pause, he added: "Not only that, Marquis Aisen also invited a team of lizardmen to assist them."

"Demihuman race?!"

This time it was Lemy's turn to be surprised. He asked eagerly: "The Lizardmen really did not conflict with the Border Guard Town, but fought with them?"

"It's absolutely true." Bray nodded, "After the winter is over, the lizardmen and humans still hold celebrations in the square, singing, dancing, and sharing food together. The atmosphere is quite harmonious. The members of the second team and I can all testify."

"Isn't this the concept we have always advocated? It's really gratifying to be the first to realize it in a remote and remote border town! Hahaha——"

After confirming this, Lemi couldn't help but laugh heartily, but soon realized that he had lost his dignity and pretended to cough a few times in shame.

"Ahem."

Immediately afterwards, he bowed apologetically to Laev XXIII: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Pope, I just lost my temper."

"It doesn't matter."

Laev XXIII understood Lemy, and he also wanted to see with his own eyes what Bray said.
