"Saint Leon!" Mirage widened his eyes, shocked at the identity of the man behind them.
This man was the current Red Saint of the Blazing Church, a prestigious title and status for a man given the blessing of the Vermillion Bird. And not only that, he was also one of the King's children.
The Acting Headmaster then realised that... Someone of his status wouldn't be alone.
Through the eyes of his clones, he found that portals began to open up around the realm. And coming out of them were knights in metal armour, carrying the emblem of the Vermillion Bird.
Some carried banners of the God, while some carried weapons. These were the Crimson Crusaders, an army of specialised soldiers that guarded the Red Saint.
And...
Hundreds of them came through the countless portals that appeared in the realm, easily taking care of the cultists as they rummaged through the rubble for trapped guardsmen.
Each member of the Crimson Crusaders resided in the Tier of Disciple or even higher.
