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
"Are you coming back tonight?"Shania asked first."Keep a distance from Ms. Lisha and don't create any diplomatic issues."Uriah said after some hesitation.Only Zander knew what Sean was like, so he said nothing.Sean frowned as he looked at Shania and Uriah. He did not expect these guys to say such things.He only accompanied Ms. Lisha to go shopping. Why did they think something was going to happen?When Sean's face darkened, Shania mischievously stuck out her tongue while Uriah looked away slightly awkwardly, pretending he had not said anything."I'll be back by eight."Sean said and headed outside.As soon as he stepped out of the door, Sean quickly stopped because Lisha had followed him to the door and waited for him at some point."Have you informed them?"Lisha asked, blushing slightly."Yeah, I did."Sean nodded."Then let's hurry out. It's getting late. It's already past noon."Lisha said somewhat eagerly.Without further ado, Sean followed Lisha toward the
"You speak English very well."Sean's praise excited Lisha."Of course, I love Dragon Kingdom. I often travel to Dragon Kingdom. The last time I visited Dragon Kingdom, I met you on the plane back."Lisha explained with a smile.Sean's first meeting with Lisha was indeed on the plane from Dragon Kingdom to Crosac.Zander was also there at the time, and it left an impression on Sean because of the accident."Yeah, indeed..."Sean nodded.Lisha said, "I gotta thank you for what happened on the plane last time. Mr. Lennon, you're such a nice guy!"Sean froze, never expecting Lisha to call him a nice guy.However, he then started laughing."I'm just a regular guy, not a nice guy."Sean chuckled and shook his head.Lisha's blue eyes blinked at Sean as she sized him up curiously. It was as if she wanted to find out what he was really like.They soon reached Central Square downtown.Lisha pulled into a parking lot beside Central Square, and she and Sean got out of the car and r
