Alien Knights

When Huggins completed the census of ocean refugees and returned to Muxi King City, a full month had passed.

Holding a thick stack of reports, Huggins walked to the door of the king's audience room, and unexpectedly found that the guards stopped him.

"The Dragon God has an order that no one is allowed to enter."

Huggins took a closer look and found that the person speaking actually had the face of a male orc under his helmet.

Looking to the side, the other soldier guarding the door of the audience room was still a human member of the Knights.

The human knight nodded slightly towards Huggins, confirming that His Majesty had indeed given such an order.

Huggins took a step back and agreed, but in his heart he was wondering when the Crusaders would begin to appear among the guards in the inner palace.

He found a sofa in the side hall outside the audience room and sat down, placing the report on the tea table. Huggins folded his arms in front of his chest and closed his eyes to rest.

A few minutes later, a female elf wearing a sky-blue clerk's official uniform gently placed a silver dinner plate in front of Huggins.

On the dinner plate were a pot of hot snake fruit tea, a glass and a snack platter.

There was a little surprise on Huggins' face. Before he spoke, the beautiful and elegant female elf bowed and left the side hall.

Smelling the aroma of tea, Huggins touched his chin and looked at the door of the audience room, lost in thought.

Half an hour later, the door to the audience room opened.

Nine Crusader great shamans from different races walked out of the room one after another.

The leader was an elf shaman. He said to the others: "I believe you all have no objections to this arrangement, right?"

The tauren shaman behind him said in a deep voice: "After the rebellion that year, humans have been increasingly proven to be an unreliable race. The soldiers and guards around the Supreme Dragon God should have been replaced by the Crusaders long ago. ”

The elf shaman nodded: "In the past, whenever we mentioned this matter, the Supreme Being only added some Crusaders to the royal city guards for the reason of personnel transfer, but never incorporated his children into the personal guards. . Now, the Supreme has finally relented. This is a great victory for the Crusaders, and it is also a sign that the human race is no longer valued by the gods."

The human knight standing outside the door of the audience room listened to the conversation of the shamans, clenched his hands tightly, and slowly lowered his head.

The werewolf shaman carefully glanced at the closed door behind him and whispered to the others: "Don't talk about right and wrong here. The Supreme doesn't like to hear this."

The orc shaman glanced at the elf shaman and said as he walked: "It is indeed a great joy for the Guards to join the Crusaders, but maybe we should discuss the racial ratio again."

The sensitive Elf Shaman turned his head, stared at the Orc Shaman and asked, "What do you mean?"

The orc shaman snorted coldly: "The proportion of elves in the Crusaders' guards this time has reached a full 40%. Is this a fair thing to other races?"

The elf shaman shouted in a low voice: "The royal library, supernatural archives, and teaching court in the royal city need people who are knowledgeable, careful, and thoughtful. Elves are the most suitable choices for these positions!"

The orc shaman sneered: "You elves can't even take care of a crazy female, and you even let her do things that would shame all the Crusaders. In the end, the Supreme Lord deigned to personally help you deal with the aftermath, and you actually have Are you saying that you are careful?"

The elf shaman said angrily: "You rude green-skinned fool! Have you forgotten the sins committed by your last great shaman? He blasphemed the Supreme Being and falsely passed down the holy order. That guy's soul is still in hell. Suffering eternal burning!”

"Don't mention that!"

"You mentioned it first!"

Seeing the red-faced two people rolling up their sleeves and about to get into a fight, the werewolf shaman rushed over to start a fight: "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down! The Supreme is next door! If you are exposing each other's shortcomings like this, what if the Dragon God changes his mind? what to do?"

The tauren shaman sighed, walked away from this place of right and wrong.

Soon, the noisy shamans left the side hall one after another.

The knight guard came to the sofa and said to Huggins: "Your Majesty, please come in."

Huggins nodded, took the report, and walked into the audience room. The first thing he saw was Todd, who looked depressed and kept rubbing his temples.

"Did you hear everything?"

Facing Todd's question, Huggins nodded awkwardly.

Picking up a roster on the table, Todd threw it to Huggins: "This is the list of the Crusaders' guards. Go back and take a look."

Huggins said hesitantly: "The Crusaders joining the Guards..."

"This matter has been mentioned many times before you returned to the city. The earliest time... was when the rebellion in Muxi City subsided."

"Originally, the Crusaders were responsible for the security work outside the royal city, while the Knights and the city government were responsible for the military guards and government affairs of the inner palace."

Huggins nodded: "Yes, that was originally the case."

Todd said with a headache: "At the beginning of this month, the Shaman Assembly once again launched a joint request to racially equalize the security work inside and outside the royal city. The reason is that the Crusaders and Knights are both subjects of the Dragon Kingdom. It shouldn’t be treated differently.”

Huggins wondered: "This reason... is not wrong."

Todd continued: "My plan is to mix the Crusaders and Knights so that both parties can work together to deepen their relationship and understand each other."

Huggins asked, "Does it work?"

"The effect is not obvious at the moment. The Knights and the Crusaders are clearly separated. Apart from necessary official exchanges, there is not much communication at other times." Todd pondered: "But in the long run, it should be useful."

Huggins calmed down, picked up the census report, and said softly: "About those ocean refugees..."

"Oh, by the way, I have been waiting for your report." Todd temporarily put aside the dispute between the Crusaders and the Knights: "Compared to these trivial matters, I am more concerned about the refugees."

"The group of ocean refugees is larger than we thought. There are currently more than 15,000 registered refugees, and this number is increasing every day." Huggins opened the report and said while reading: "These ocean refugees Ethnic groups have cultural traditions and social structures that are very different from ours, and some of them are even barbaric or even backward in my opinion.”

"The marine ethnic groups that have been identified so far are mainly divided into seven major tribes with more than 80 tribes. These seven major tribes are mermaids, plaices, sharks and whales, sea swans, deep eagles, giant mouths and others."

Todd nodded while listening: "It sounds like the racial composition is very complicated."

Huggins replied: "When it comes to the citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, the differences between races are at best reflected in appearance and ability. The differences between ocean races can be said to be very different. Some races have no bones in their bodies, and some have no bones in their bodies. Races can even change into inorganic forms."

Todd was a little confused: "How do they get along with each other in such a complicated racial category?"

"The actual situation is that before arriving at Waiheke Island, some races have never met other races. The reason why they came here is entirely because of the oracle of the ancient ocean god." Huggins said: "According to those oceans According to the refugees, during the journey, there were frequent fights between various ethnic groups over food and shelter, and some smaller ethnic groups even became exterminated."
