It began the very next day.0

“Team 8, head to the Kurdish Kingdom by land. Their border guard hasn’t been fully deployed yet, so it’ll be easier. I assigned fewer people to your team compared to the others—think that’ll cause any problems?”0

“Not at all. It shouldn’t be too difficult to pluck out a few talents from a country that’s already on its last legs.”1

“Good. Teams 5 through 7, each of you take two Mass Teleport scrolls per person. Use one for one-way travel and use the other carefully so you can return to the estate after completing the mission.”0

The team leaders of the Order of the Light Dragon, who rarely gathered in one place, accepted the scrolls Corbin handed over. They quickly checked the number and condition before tucking them away.0

Their helmets and masks left not even a single strand of hair exposed, and the ominous gleam of their eyes beneath them made it clear they were no ordinary knights. Despite their tall, imposing builds, they exuded no presence. They would still seem like mirages or ghosts while standing in the center of a busy street at noon.0

“Team 4, the Atlantis Maritime Alliance is already allied with the Empire, so there shouldn’t be any major issues. Accept active support from the local factions: Bermuda and the Council of Atlantis. You’re free to hire them in a formal commission as well. Recruit every adventurer team ranked A or higher.”0

“Understood.”0
