After a pause, the leader of the mercenary regiment continued saying, "Going the long way is the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army, Sean Lennon, his subordinate, Zander, and several city defense soldiers.""So we..."The person nearby asked, but they already knew the answer.Their leader had said they might not be able to catch up with Shania, who took the shortcut, if they went after her.They had a good chance of catching up with Sean and Zander, who took the long way.Even if they caught up with Shania, so what?Shania was only the mayor's daughter, not the mayor of Dorodo. Even if they captured or killed her, it would not be of much use.Sean was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. He was accompanied by the chiliarch, Zander.In this case, Sean and Zander were worth much more than Shania, who was likely out of reach now."Let's go after Sean and Zander! We must catch or kill them. That way, Dorodo will be in chaos!"The leader of the merce
However, almost at the same time, the second arrow came flying accurately and went deep into the neck of the leader of the mercenary regiment with a whoosh.The arrow hit the flesh, and the crimson blood instantly gushed along the shaft, staining the clothes of the leader of the mercenary regiment red."Sir!""Our leader is wounded!"A cacophony of voices rang all around as the mercenary regiment screamed in horror.However, who would have thought that the third and fourth arrows came flying together and accurately struck the leader of the mercenary regiment in his left chest when he was still mounted on a horse? An arrow to the heart!The fourth arrow hit the leader of the mercenary regiment right between the eyes with a bang!With a thump, the leader of the mercenary regiment fell from his horse, as dead as could be.50 meters away, Sean slowly lowered the bow and arrow in his hand, a cold smile on his lips.However, Zander did not put down his bow and arrow. He continued wo
She knew Uriah was right.Sean, Zander, 10 city defense soldiers, and 5 personal guards only made up 17 men.However, they were pursued by hundreds of men!The difference in numbers was simply too great to make up for."Maybe... Maybe they're okay... Mr. Lennon is strong. He, Mr. Young, and the others will catch up with us..."Shania said in tears.Influenced by her, the expressions of the remaining members of the personal guards became sorrowful.Uriah let out a long sigh and said, "Miss, I'll admit Mr. Lennon is tough, but what could a tough guy do with a group of enemies a dozen times more than himself?"Hearing Uriah's words, Shania became upset.Uriah looked over his shoulder at where he had come from before saying in resignation, "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Lennon, and Mr. Young sacrificed protecting us. They'll live on in our hearts. We will never forget them!""Yeah, we'll never forget them!"Shania nodded heavily as she cried.In the woods, several stray mercenaries knelt on t
Sean looked at the third survivor. Before he could ask, the mercenary said quickly in tears, "I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything... We're mercenaries from Crosac. We're from Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment. Our leader...""You're lying."Sean cut him off.Crosac's three major mercenary regiments were named after flowers. They're Black Gold Flower, Hibiscus, and Edelweiss.Poetic as it might sound, these three major mercenary regiments had made a reputation for themselves in the City-State Union.Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment had been disbanded.The remaining Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment and Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment had their characteristics—each mercenary of Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment had a hibiscus tattoo on the back of their left hand, and each mercenary of Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment carried a mercenary dagger with an Edelweiss carving.However, the mercenary in front of him had neither of those things. He was only lying.He and his companions were not mercenari
If Sean and Zander had not gone to the Townsend family and stopped them, Raphael City might have succeeded.However, due to Sean and Zander stopping Raphael City's plan, the relationship between Dorodo and Raphael City immediately fell to the breaking point.Raphael City suddenly ambushed them, and it did not seem to be for nothing."Say nothing. Let's get on the road and try to reach Crosac before dark."Sean ordered."Yes!"Zander, the city defense soldiers, and the mayor’s personal guards said yes solemnly. This time, Sean did not lower his voice.It was because the stray mercenaries were either dead or had run away. They had scattered.Thus, there was no need to worry about alerting them.It was getting dark.In front of Crosac's city gates, a blond woman with blue eyes and dressed to the nines stood in front of a car, waiting.Behind her was a ceremonial team of hundreds of people.These ceremonial team members were selected from Crosac's city defense army and were rea
"Our diplomatic convoy was attacked on our way here. A mercenary regiment of at least 100 men ambushed us. To protect the mayor's daughter—Ms. Shania, the city defense army's commander-in-chief—Sean, and the chiliarch—Commander Zander, led their men to use themselves as bait to distract the mercenary regiment. It's how we got here."Uriah said grimly and slowly."What... What about Mr. Lennon?"Lisha panicked as she hurridly grabbed Uriah's arm and asked.Uriah was mildly surprised that the woman in front of him would care so much about Sean's whereabouts.'Does she know Sean?'Shania rubbed her eyes as she stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lennon... Mr. Lennon... Mr. Lennon's probably..."Shania could not continue speaking halfway through her sentence.Uriah let out a long sigh and said, "100 mercenaries armed with weapons attacked us. Commander Lennon and Commander Zander are probably..."As if struck by lightning, Lisha was dumbstruck for a while.The team that was supposed t
Sean smiled and replied, "To put it bluntly, it's simple. Two words—guerrilla tactics.""Guerrilla tactics?"Flynn frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning of these words.Sean continued explaining. "Yeah, guerrilla tactics. If it's a head-on battle, my men and I are no match for more than 100 mercenaries. They could crush us in numbers alone. But inside the woods, the effectiveness of numbers will be limited. Instead, the flexibility of small units will be greatly enhanced and thus be more advantageous."Flynn had mostly figured it out at this point.That was it.Sean and his crew of a dozen men were no match for a mercenary regiment of more than 100 men when it was a head-on confrontation.However, Sean's small combat unit was able to fight flexibly because of the complex terrain and trees that hid them after they entered the woods.The mercenary regiment of 100 men could not take advantage of their numbers. Having too many men made it impossible to attack in unison. Thei
She wore a fitting pale purple long dress, a pale gray sun hat, and pale purple heels. The outfit made her seem mysterious and elegant."I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the mayor of Crosac."Sean said with a smile, greeting her.Sean and Zander had met earlier with Ms. Lisha on the plane to Crosac.Lisha wanted to switch seats with Sean, but he refused, so they got into a minor conflict.When the plane was in danger of crashing due to a cold current, Lisha's parachute pack had a problem, so Sean gave her his.Thankfully, the plane escaped the cold current and landed at Crosac Airport.Even so, Lisha excitedly thanked Sean and gave him her business card.Sean did not realize Lisha Crosac was the eldest daughter of the mayor of Crosac. It was only when he met her in Crosac again that he finally knew her true identity."I didn't expect you to be Dorodo's city defense commander-in-chief, Mr. Lennon."Lisha said with a smile before walking up to Sean."Are you going out
