章節 265: Arrogant Emissary

The humans hesitated for only a moment before their ranks parted, and from the mass of steel and banners stepped a single figure on horseback.

The emissary wore polished plate armor that glinted in the faint light, adorned with the sigil of a golden griffon perched atop a crimson shield.

He carried himself with the haughty air of someone who had never known fear or doubt in his life.

His horse, a magnificent white steed with golden barding, trotted forward with a confidence that mirrored its rider's demeanor.

Volk, standing tall at the forefront of his formation, watched the emissary's approach with faint amusement.

His crimson eyes flickered, a sardonic grin playing on his lips as he noted the man's utter lack of hesitation.
