Chapter 187: Gryphon Legion

"I miss you too also dear, but can you let me go? I have a few things to do beforehand." The knight asked making Asuna pout but complied as she helped him up and hand in hand made her way with him towards Issei and his group.

As the duo approach Issei, he could tell that the one who was holding Asuna's hand was the captain of the regiment.

His black armor and dual swords on his back were enough to tell him that, while the unit looking from the other soldiers were more spear orientated, this warrior was sword specialist and a good one at that as it was not easy to wield one let alone two.

"Hello and welcome to the western parts of the Slavic Lands.

I'm Kazuto the captain of the 33rd Winged Hussar Regiment also known as "Quick Stab" and the one that will escort you to the capital."

Kazuto said with a small bow as Issei stepped forward in front of his group with a small grin on his face.

"My name is Issei Hyoudou. Red Dragon Emperor and this is my group." Issei said with a small bow as he introduced the girls one by one to the young captain, who politely introduced himself again.

"Well now that the pleasantries are over let's get down to the business. I heard that you guys are here to talk to Lord Veles. While I would like to escort you there now, we need to do some tests on you so we can know that you are legimetly here for that. Though don't worry it's nothing sever it's a simple process really." Kazuto said making the group nod as he started his tests that were very simple and easy to accomplish and after a few minutes, they were off towards the capital of the West.

Arriving at the capital was not like what they expected, it was more like when you get into Kuoh, a beautiful city that was well developed and brimming with life and nature, it was a stunning sight to behold as they made their way still on Pegasus's backs.

As they got closer and closer towards the city, they could feel that they passed a barrier of sorts and like someone flipped the switch everything changed.

The beautiful city was replaced by an magnificent castle, with its walls towering at least 100 meters, and on every 30-40 meters were guard towers covering 360 all around the massive wall, while the first line of defense was an almost electrical barrier that, from what the group gathered, was more like an eye of the storm with over the top high voltage.

It was clear that the defenders of the city had a lot of knowledge about what was the easiest way to defend it and if some spears and armor here and there in front of the wall was any indication it was a very gruesome but effective way.

"Release the Barrier! Sector 15! Quick Stab is entering the area!"

The shout was easily heard from the Walls as the hole appeared in the barrier letting the group to enter the city without a problem.

Entering the royal city of the West was easy, as it was already known that the group was going to come and being brought with the Winged Hussars was a signal to the inhabitants and the guards that their ruler was awaiting them, and it was extremely poor for the ruler to wait.

As they closed in towards the royal citadel, they were greeted by, from what Kazuya told them, were the elite of the elite Winged Hussar troops, the Gryphon Legion, a personal guard that has over 1000 victories and are only sent to the front line if the situation on the front is so gruesome that it's almost catastrophic.

Though while those warriors are extremely rich in experience, they still train for over 10 hours daily, just to stay and improve their already extremely immense powers and skills, and are some of the battle-ready at any time troops for Lord Veles to call upon should the situation request.

And even from the distance everyone from Issei's group even Asuna and Arnett could easily tell that even if they all combine it would be a hard press battle to even defeat a single solder from Gryphon Legion let alone more and they could see there were almost 2000 of them.

"Don't worry, they are all good men. Some of them are heroes, kings, warlords and even regular solders that impressed the Lord Veles with their deeds and/or behavior, even to the defeated or wounded that made them picked champions of Gryphon Legion.

Some of them even trained me in swordsmanship and while some trained to train me in magic, I can tell that that's not for me. But if you ever need advice, they are the best source of it."

Kazuto told them with a smile as they were at the foot of the citadel were some members of the legion started to approach them making Kazuto fall to his knee which was followed by others.

"Master Vladislav, it's an honor to see you again." Kazuto said as the elderly man in his 40's approach the group.

The man was wearing golden armor similar to that of Elsha's, but was clearly oriented towards the west faction of the Slavic was a bit shorter then Issei, he had white hair with a long white beard with a few scars on his face, while his eyes were a harden brown color showing that the old man saw a lot of the world and had a lot of knowledge of how things run.

He, in his hands, held a short cavalry sword that was an obsidian colored with a few feathers from what the group could say was Griffin, on the handle that was made from pure gold.

All in all, the man before them was an impressive and the power that they could feel was even more so, as they felt if the man in front of them wanted he could easily squash them like bugs even if they all combined together.
