The Unknown God

Chapter 27 - 26 New Clothes

'This game is worst than Skyrim! It keeps dragging you on in an endless abyss of stuff to do. Alright time to exit the game and get some rest. Some food also.'

"And finally, as a knight of the Order, you should dress the part. At all time you should be respectably dressed. I had a set of medium armour made for you. The best tailer in town crafted this fine set."

'Please be what I think it is! Please!'

Fortune smiled upon him once again, as Lord Storr revealed very similar-looking leather outfit.

Four men sat at a table. At the head, sat a beautiful petite woman. Legate Scorpio, seated at her right, continued his report.

"... the first stage of the construction of New Rome will be completed within the fortnight. All five of legions have established their camps in there designated spots. Reports of lizardmen activity have been received in the surrounding swamps. A scout managed to stalk these primitive lifeforms back to their habitat. Having the exact location of thier home, I propose that we strike swiftly."

Legate Marcus replied while stroking his chin, "I agree with you, a military operation will give us an idea of the fighting capability of the natives."

"Agreed," the burly Legate Augustus answered.

"Legate Octavian?"

"I agree with the point Legate Marcus put forth, but. I think we should not display all of our fighting capabilities ourselves."

"Marcus is correct," declared autumn-haired woman. "The Frumentarii have discovered on multiple occasions the trances of magic on our camps. These trances have been confirmed not to have originated from any of the Four Great Empires. Most likely, their source is the from an unknown faction from this continent. Augustus and Marcus will lead a detachment of two cohorts to the identified lizard territory. Enlist the help of this so-called adventurers. This can serve as a test. Kill what you must, bring back the rest. New Rome will need plenty of slaves."

"We shall complete your orders to the best of our capabilities, Praetor Rhea."

"My Lady, we have received new from our spies within the Eternal Expeditionary Force. They claimed to have seen Duke Astrus of the Horizon Guard. He is currently staying at the City Lord's Mansion if the reports are to be believed. "

"Oh. How interesting! The Knight of Three is here in person. It seems like the Eternal Empire is taking this conquest extremely seriously. Or..."

"...a member of the Imperial Family is here," completed Marcus. He tilted his head toward his fellow Legate. "Does the report say anything else? Is he with someone else?"

"It says that he is there with his daughter and another knight of the Horizon Guard. And. This is interesting. It says that a young man has been visiting him recently."

"Ah, that old man got a weird taste! But damn his daughter is beauti... I mean not as gorgeous as our Praetor! Ha."

"Sometimes I really do wonder what is going on in that nut of yours, Augustus. Forget it, I do not want to know. Anyway, the reports state that a young silver-haired man has visited multiple times. After asking around, our operatives discovered that he single-handedly slew a Stell Predator. And he is now a Knight of the Order of Zakir, following his contribution in the retake of a fallen outpost."

"Either, the outpost was guarded by a wyvern or the Order's standard dropped big time."

"Interesting. Well, at least this is shaping out to be more fun than I had imagined! Maybe I'll get to cross swords with that kid!"

A smile danced on Praetor Rhea lips, while the faces of her generals glistened with sweat.
