“… Do you want to stay mercenaries endlessly?

Do you want to dwell an eternally harmful life, strolling on a razor’s edge, lingering between life and loss of life?

Do you want to struggle just for cash, not for honor?

Now, there is a chance earlier than you!

A possibility to alter your future!

A possibility to make a reputation for yourselves!

A possibility to half with the standing of commoners, grow to be the Aristocracy, and even receive a fiefdom!

So, arm yourselves together with your swords, observe me, observe the Marquis Charles, observe the Hilde household, and kill the trolls!”

…

Watching the mercenaries who had been passionately stirred by Sael’s speech, Colin out of the blue laughed and stated to Oliver beside him:

“You recognize, this dutiful son actually is aware of how one can ship a speech, nearly had me swayed.”

“He’s nothing however a despicable fellow.” Oliver seemed extraordinarily disagreeable, considerably at a lack of what to do within the scenario, “What are we to do? Are we actually going to Mirror Lake?”

“Do we’ve a alternative now? That child dares to even kill his personal father.”

“However…” Oliver was reluctant.

Nonetheless, he knew he had no different alternative.

With out the escort of the Firefox Mercenary group, there was no manner he would safely ship these items to the Fallen Eagle Metropolis.

But when they actually adopted Sael to Mirror Lake, these items had been very prone to be confiscated as navy provides–one mustn’t overestimate the conscience of a military.

Particularly throughout wartime.

Furthermore, in accordance with his guess, the Marquis’s military gathered at Mirror Lake may very seemingly be a defeated military.

If that was true, then going to Mirror Lake could be much more harmful.

In contrast to Oliver, who was undecided, Colin had modified his thoughts and wished to go to Mirror Lake.

That was as a result of Baron Angler had initially set out on the expedition with Marquis Charles, and if the Marquis’s military actually retreated to Mirror Lake, then Colin may discover his father there.

If his dad was close by, he doesn’t have to go to Fallen Eagle Metropolis searching for assist from his sister.

As for the hazards of the battlefield…

Regardless of, Colin may play lifeless. He prided himself on being a really plausible corpse.

In the meantime, Sael had absolutely taken management of the scenario and commenced appointing underlings, instructing everybody to organize to depart.

The cavalry of the Hilde household had left way back, presumably in quest of different unlucky souls within the neighborhood, sparing solely the solitary corpse of Saru and a few horse dung.

Corpse?

Colin out of the blue stepped ahead.

“The place are you going?” Oliver shouted from behind him, feeling extremely insecure, as Colin gave the impression to be the one one who may reassure him within the encampment.

“To bury Mr. Saru,” Colin responded with out trying again.

“You…” Oliver opened his eyes extensive, unable to grasp why Colin out of the blue wished to handle Saru’s stays.

Had been you that near Saru?

Aren’t you afraid of upsetting Sael?

After hesitating for some time, Oliver didn’t observe him.

Colin, alone, walked over to Saru’s stays and commenced to dig a gap.

Since advancing in rank, Colin had discovered that his energy had tremendously elevated, and he may now start controlling the holy gentle power inside his physique to speed up his bodily restoration and acquire a small stature enhance.

Taking the chance of digging a gap, Colin was prepared to experiment and regulate to his new energy.

Quickly, a gap a couple of meter deep was prepared.

When Colin climbed out of the opening, he confronted expressionless Sael.

“Shall we stock it collectively?” Colin, laughing, pointed at Saru’s corpse and proposed.

Sael stood nonetheless, coldly saying, “Accumulating the stays of such a traitor may hurt your honor, Knight Cain.”

“Haha, it’s alright. As a wandering knight who has misplaced his fiefdom, I don’t have a lot honor to start out with.” Seeing Sael unwilling to assist, Colin dragged Saru’s corpse alone in direction of the opening.

All of the whereas, he thought to himself–what does the honour of Cain Sudor should do with me, Colin Angler?

“Thump!”

The corpse fell into the pit, kicking up a cloud of mud.

“Knight Cain, you’ll be heading to the Mirror Lake camp as properly, gained’t you?” requested Sael, his voice ringing out from exterior the pit.

“Certainly, it’s my responsibility as a knight. Moreover, it’s the perfect alternative to revive the Sudor household’s honor,” replied Colin, sounding lifeless critical.

“Wonderful! We’ll depart in half an hour. We look ahead to having you accompany us.”

“Alright, I’ll be proper there.”

Colin crouched within the pit and wiped off some sweat. As soon as the footsteps above progressively receded, he quietly drew out his dagger and water bag.

“Shh!”

“Glug… glug…”

——————————

By the point the Firefox Mercenary Group caught sight of the navy camp by Mirror Lake, it was fully darkish.

The outer patrol sentries had already noticed them. After glancing on the emergency conscription order in Sael’s hand, they identified the gathering level for them.

Oliver, following the group, appeared forlorn.

Colin walked alongside, sipping the “water” from his bag, his temper seemingly removed from good.

He’d found that the blood of second-tier warrior Saru didn’t assist enhance his energy in spite of everything.

The consequences of consuming it had been similar to consuming deer blood or that of the no-good criminal—it solely replenished his energy.

Colin thought of two prospects for the usage of contemporary blood.

One chance was that his earlier development was purely coincidental and never due to Knight Carter’s blood.

This was clearly the worst-case state of affairs, suggesting that contemporary blood had no impact on boosting his energy.

There’s one other chance.

Not all high-ranking professionals’ blood has a helpful impact. Maybe, solely the blood of high-ranking knights may enhance Colin’s energy.

Subsequently, additional testing is required.

The considered this gave Colin a headache.

In any case, in comparison with the dime-a-dozen warriors, knights had been few, and their identities had been often exalted. Their blood wasn’t simple to get…

As soon as he entered the camp, Colin realized the realm it encompassed was extremely huge, sprawling so far as the attention may see.

The camp was bustling with innumerable folks whose numbers had been tough to gauge.

Nonetheless, Colin may inform that the forces gathered on this part of the camp weren’t the common military however appeared extra like blended troops just like the Firefox Mercenary Group.

Their weapons and tools had been inconsistent, and a few even carried farming instruments, making one marvel in the event that they had been peasants urgently conscripted instantly from their fields.

It appeared that this gathering may be simply cannon fodder…

After settling down within the camp, Oliver squeezed his manner over, “Knight Cain, have you ever seen the scenario within the jap camp?”

“That ought to be the common military camp of the St. Hilde household.”

The navy camp by Mirror Lake was divided into two sections. In contrast to the disorderly western camp the place Colin and the others had been positioned, the jap camp was orderly and closely guarded.

“Sure! I attempted strolling over there however was turned away by patrolling troopers earlier than I may get shut.”

That was not stunning.

Actually, the common military wouldn’t permit informal entry to their camp.

Seeing Oliver’s keen look, Colin instantly understood his intentions: “You need to go to the jap camp?”

“Sure,” Oliver nodded repeatedly, “You’ve seen the scenario on our facet. We’ll positively be cannon fodder if there’s a struggle!

So, it’s finest if we determine a option to mingle into the jap common military camp. It’s safer there. However I can’t get in. Nonetheless, it will likely be totally different for you. When you announce the title of the Sudor household, you’ll certainly get in.”

However Colin hesitated a bit.

He knew that whereas he may idiot the Firefox Mercenary Group and Oliver together with his pretend Cain Sudor identification, he stood a excessive likelihood of being uncovered if he had been to fulfill genuine nobles of this world.

In fact, he may use his actual identification to get in, which might make it simpler to search out his father, Baron Angler—if he had been within the camp.

But when Baron Angler wasn’t right here…

“Knight Cain, when you get there, please inform the Marquis that I’m prepared to donate all the products I’ve introduced this time to the St. Hilde household without spending a dime!”

Colin, greatly surprised, seemed on the plump service provider earlier than him. Admiring his decision, he stated, “You’re actually prepared to half with these.”

“What alternative do I’ve…” Oliver compelled a bitter smile, then inspired him additional, “In fact, I gained’t neglect the make it easier to’ve given me. If we survive this time, each I, and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, will certainly specific our gratitude!”

Colin, Oliver’s earnest and enthusiastic eyes, may solely nod, “Alright, I’ll give it a shot.”

Crossing out of the tent, Colin made his manner eastward.

Simply when he nonetheless had doubts about revealing his actual identification, a voice rang out:

“Younger Grasp Colin, is that basically you?”
