The Elders' Court Guard.
Unlike the Ten Thousand Martial Guards, this unit was exclusively responsible for the security of the Elders' Court. Only the three elders of the Elders' Court had the authority to command them.
With the issuance of a secret order, a hundred-man troop instantly gathered in the square before the Elders' Court. Dressed uniformly in martial attire, with a large, eye-catching red "Forbidden" character on their armbands, they were a formidable sight. Each one was in his prime, brimming with vigor and armed with the finest equipment. The killing intent rolling off them was palpable.
The middle-aged man, Jin Zheng's assistant, beckoned to the leader. "Qiu Yu, come here."
"Vice-Officer Chang, what is the mission this time?" the young man named Qiu Yu asked, jogging up to the middle-aged man. There was curiosity in his voice, but also a hint of excitement. "My Forbidden Guards haven't performed a mission outside the Elders' Court in years."
