Feeling the masculine scent coming from Ryan next to her ears, Jeanne quickly turned her face away.

A strange feeling arose in her heart, a feeling she had never experienced in her church.

Looking at Joan of Arc, who was as pure as paper, Ryan chuckled twice and said.

"Your Highness, will you please bring your people with us from now on? Our empire's base is large enough so you won't feel crowded when you enter."

"Furthermore, our combined strength will be significantly increased. At least... the dwarves won't attack so easily anymore."

Joan of Arc lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded.

"Well, Master Ryan has invited me so kindly that I dare not refuse."

"Then I'll trouble Her Highness the Saint for the next period of time. With Her Highness the Saint's holy light blessing, I believe both of us will be safer hunting monsters."

"Master Ryan, you're joking. It's Joan of Arc who's troubling you." Joan of Arc said with a smile.

Then Joan of Arc asked the question that was on her mind.

"Master Ryan, what's wrong with your right arm? I see a complex energy on your right arm."

"...It's a long story. I'll explain it to Her Highness the Saint once we're stationed...if Her Highness is truly interested."

"Okay." Joan of Arc nodded obediently.

While Ryan and Joan of Arc were talking, Arnold rode his horse behind Ryan, frowning as he watched Ryan and the Saint acting like a couple.

Although he wanted Ryan to get off the unicorn, he didn't know what to say.

What's more, Ryan had just saved them once.

While Arnold was still hesitating, Ryan quickly led everyone from the Church of Light to the Empire Valley Station.

Joan of Arc, Arnold and other members of the Church of Light looked at the entrance to the valley with slight surprise.

They didn't expect that there was such a good place in the secret realm. It was simply a natural residence.

Arriving at the entrance of the valley, Ryan jumped off the unicorn and raised his left hand towards Jeanne d'Arc on the unicorn.

Joan of Arc smiled upon seeing this, took Ryan's hand and got off the unicorn.

Watching Ryan get off the unicorn, Arnold also got off the horse with the knights behind him and prepared to walk.

Then Ryan led everyone slowly into the valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, they heard a questioning voice.

"Yes... Master Ryan?"

Ryan nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. Behind me are people from the Church of Light. You don't have to be nervous."

The person who just spoke was actually the Imperial patrol hidden in the valley on guard.

Ryan had just finished speaking when three people walked out from behind a group of rocks, trotted over to Ryan and bowed slightly.

"Master Ryan, Her Royal Highness the Saint."

"Yeah, you're very alert, that's good." Ryan nodded and smiled.

The man in the middle of the three rubbed his head and said, "Master Ryan, you're too kind. This is all for the empire."

"Since it is Master Ryan who brought this person here, I naturally trust him. I will not disturb you any more, Master Ryan, and I will continue my patrol."

Ryan said 'hmm' and then led the people from the Church of Light into the valley.

Walking into the valley, everyone saw a well-organized camp.

When the people of the Empire in the base saw a large group of people coming in from the entrance of the valley, they immediately became alert.

But seeing Ryan in the lead, he felt relieved again. After carefully observing the appearance and clothing of the people behind Ryan, he knew that the people behind Ryan were from the Church of Light.

Suddenly, I felt a little relieved, but gradually I felt relieved.

After all, they also knew that the Empire and the Church of Light were allied.
