"Gwen is with you. I have a task for her."

"All right. Shall I call her over?"

"No need. Just pass it on. I need her to pick someone up at a location. Alexei, send a squad of soldiers to escort her. Everyone should travel by vehicle."

"Is it a combat mission?"

"No. Just go directly there. I'll send you the exact coordinates shortly."

Worker Theus was in high spirits. Little Gwen's return was a good thing for Castel. The Northern Territory would be completely stabilized, and they had gained another Transcendence-level combatant.

He had a good relationship with Little Gwen and had asked about her combat ability before. According to her, she was especially good at fighting.

Little Gwen was no inexperienced rookie. Setting aside the battles during the Mother Goddess's rebellion, she had been present when Ignati used the Storm Generator to alter the weather not long ago. Since she was so confident, Theus found himself looking forward to it.

After all, she was a [Named One].

The other [Named One], Big Gwen, had undergone testing at the proving grounds. Ordinary Transcendents were practically killed in seconds against her; only a fully armed squad of [Buriers] had barely managed to withstand her.

That squad had fifteen people. One had to know that [Buriers] excelled at frontal combat. Previously, it had taken more than fifty of them to force their way through the musketeers' line and hammer back the Empire's advance.

In other words, Big Gwen possessed the ability to alter the course of a battlefield all by herself.

And that was only in a frontal fight.

Fifteen [Buriers] gathered together could only fight head-on, but Gwen alone was far more flexible.

No wonder she had managed to lead the Resistance Army out of the nobles' and lords' encirclement.
