At this, Creadan suddenly frowned and reacted at the actions of the thirteenth captain. "Are you… sent by Tetroka to keep an eye on Artie Shen? You couldn't be placing your men in danger to fight the great demon if these were not your orders, am I correct?"
Since someone had thrown the question, Nerud suddenly calmed down and looked over his shoulder to take a look at the prince. "Yes, my thirteenth company was indeed sent here to oversee the results and means of this undertaking. We are indeed tasked to bring you to Tutura and then to Novaska.
"However, I'll let you know. There's not much choice when the order came from His Eminence himself. No lowly captain would ever have the chance to arrive in his castle and gain the right to stand as his audience. Moreover, I heard that this very mission from his mouth through his own voice." Nerud only sighed. "If I messed this up, who knew how much longer am I allowed to live?"
