Capítulo 95: The Crimson Guard

I pulled my cowl low as we stepped from the carriage, concealing my demonic features. We were within a spacious courtyard within the sprawling city of Viriden, before the City Lord's keep.

He removed his helmet, placing it under the crook of his arm, and dropped to one knee.

"It's a pleasure to welcome, great heroes. I only wish it were under more tranquil times. I am Andres, vice commander of the Crimson Guard, leading the Second Guard."

Soltair's brow creased as he peered at the ranks of trained soldiers. "Did Alric send you?"

"Indeed. We were deployed the moment he heard the first Demon Gate appeared in Radia. I humbly request you allow us to accompany you in your mission."
