In Terra, a Hunter, and a Bad Woman Chapter 632

Chapter 419: The Woman Said Nothing, Only Drew Her Blade.

The Pontiff's Knights were currently stationed outside the city.

Although the Pontiff had ordered Vlad to lead the Pontiff's Knights in guarding the border against any unusual developments, Vlad had not actually gone to the border.

He had sent the other Pontiff's Knights ahead to make preparations at the border, while he himself remained near the city with the rest of them.

The Pontiff's Knights themselves had no stance. The only orders they obeyed were the Pontiff's.

So when Vlad made such arrangements, they raised no great objections.

They simply followed Vlad to the outskirts of the city and set up camp.

They also patrolled and stood guard at all times.

Of course, they still engaged in the occasional casual discussion.

"To be honest, I still can't quite understand His Holiness's orders."

Walking the patrol route with his companions, one Pontiff's Knight shook his head, confusion written across his face.

"He seemed to approve of Renia's ideas more, but... why did he still have us obey Vlad's orders?"

"If he was worried that those Sarkaz had arrived with some sort of scheme, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to place us directly under Renia's command? Then we could react immediately if danger arose..."

"...I don't know."

Two other Pontiff's Knights walked beside him.

All three carried the same equipment—a melee weapon and a gunlance—but their different positions meant their specialties differed somewhat.

One of them held an especially massive, intimidating gunlance.

"Perhaps it's because of our identities?"

Though the Pontiff's Knights did not take part in foreign wars, they had played an extremely important role in the few wars Laterano had fought against the Sarkaz.

Perhaps His Holiness had considered that their presence might provoke unnecessary associations among the Sarkaz,
