"In our view, humans who are knights are a group of people whose faith wavers. Some of them may be swayed by the enemy and begin to doubt the existence of faith..."
Alfonso interrupted Ashley: "A knight is always loyal to his monarch."
Ashley said with a sneer, "During the civil war in Twilight City a few years ago, it seems that quite a few knights were misled or bribed by the rebels, and in the end, they turned their weapons against their former comrades."
Alfonso shook his head and said, "That's only a very small number of people."
Ashley seemed too lazy to argue with Alfonso. She continued, "As for the Crusaders, your lives, your power, your very existence were created and bestowed by the gods, yet you place the interests of your species above faith, using deception and concealment to achieve your own ends."
The Valkyrie's accusation made Kellogg's eyes widen in anger.
"That's the sin of the orc shamans! The other races have always been the dragon god's most loyal servants!"
Ashley spat and retorted, "Over the years, the elven race has been studying so-called science with scholars, constantly questioning the origin of the world and challenging the authority of the gods; the dwarven race is obsessed with amassing wealth, thinking all day about how to seize riches, even abandoning their religious rituals; the werewolf race is treacherous and cunning, and in order to expand its population, it has even tried to interfere with the transformation rituals..."
Seeing the others speechless, Ashley swept her long, wavy golden hair behind her ear and said proudly, "There are some things the Dragon God doesn't speak of, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know. Even we, his maids, know perfectly well how hypocritical many of the kingdom's people are. In the end, only we, the Valkyries, are the Dragon God's most loyal and selfless servants!"
At this point, Ashley turned to look at Randall and said in a deep voice, "But what infuriates me most is that our God always places his hopes on you unfaithful subjects, while turning a blind eye to us Valkyries!"
Kellogg, whose faith had been questioned in public, finally snapped. He shook his tail violently, wanting to rush forward and argue with the Valkyrie.
The minotaur Bulville grabbed him and shook his head at him.
As Ashley reached the griffin's nest, she whistled to her sisters who were wiping down their mounts.
"Sifley! Take your squad and come with me to escort a few people to Tero City!"
The delicate Valkyrie, with short, reddish hair and tiny freckles on her nose, nodded to Ashley and turned to go call her companions.
Ashley took the baggage tossed to her by her companion, put on the feathered crown, slung the longbow over her shoulder, and said to Randall and his group, "Let me make this clear first, I can only summon nine Valkyries right now, plus myself, making a total of ten to escort you to the East."
“Each griffin has a carrying capacity of 200 kilograms. After deducting the Valkyrie’s own weight, you can decide how to allocate the remaining weight. I see that there are orcs and tauren in your group, so I estimate that you will have to give up some weapons and armor.”
As one griffin after another landed in the middle of the camp, Alfonso patted Randall on the shoulder: "Ashley may seem difficult to get along with, but she is actually a very responsible commander. She will get you safely to the vicinity of Tero City."
Randall nodded vigorously.
Urged on by Ashley, the six members of the team climbed onto the griffin's back.
With a strong wind whipped up by their wings, a flock of griffins carried the group up into the sky above the camp and flew eastward.
