Chapter 692

Chapter 692

Eldmia didn’t know, but the Broken Rose Mercenary Corps was a group with considerable fame in the inland.

Because the majority of their members are mixed race, they are subject to all kinds of contempt and scorn, and have a notorious reputation that began with rumors. They also have a reputation as a group of powerful people due to their excellent abilities that come from mixed race, but what they are most famous for is their unique recklessness.

“It’s time to get smart, you losers!!”

A slogan created with the meaning that if you survive, you gain experience on the battlefield and are smart, and if you die, you get out of this shitty world quickly. At its core lies the joys and sorrows of life that come from unwanted bloodlines.

Those who were shunned and treated as criminals just because they were born dreamed of having their abilities recognized, and the mercenary group that was formed by gathering all of those desires together became the current mercenary group, so there are many cases where they even sacrifice their lives for this purpose.

It was not only the members of the Silk Unit but also the leader, Lizzy, who was like that.

“Everyone who blocks your path is an enemy! Don’t let them run away! Push until they reach the warrior!”

The cursed half-blood of a monster that can fight against Auror users with just pure brute force, despite being mixed with other races, displays its abilities without being weakened. With just one swing of the shield, people are bounced away, and with the right technique and distribution of strength, an axe is swung to slaughter enemies without mercy.

After the vanguard made a bold move to create a hole in the enemy lines, the rest of the unit followed and pushed back the battle line. After repeating this a few times, the mercenary unit was already right in the middle of the enemy lines.

“Captain! There’s no escape route!”

“You don’t need that! Just stick to it! If you can’t stick to the hero, just think of it as dying here!”

I don’t think the warrior would need the help of the mercenary group. It was too crazy to break through the enemy lines alone, and above all, Levien, right in front of him, was still silent.

Itisel would not have made the crazy decision to just sit back and watch the warriors of the Demon Gods die out of fear of conflict between nations. Even if Lizzy were in Itisel’s position, she would have joined hands with the Demon Gods rather than the Allied Forces.

Rather, it would be more correct to think that this is something that can be handled alone or that it is beneficial to both parties.

Nevertheless, the reason why the mercenary group was moved was because they judged that leaving a good impression was a hundred times better than just relying on the deal between the warrior and Pimel.

If the cost is similar, anyone would want to throw away the useless dog and use a skilled guard dog. If done well, this battlefield can be a good opportunity for not only the warriors but also the Itisel to prove their skills.

“The hero has been found!”

“As soon as we break through, cover the warrior’s rear and flank! Run!”

And Lizzie never missed an opportunity like that.

That was also the reason why Pimel handed over the position of captain to her.

◈

The commotion behind me is quickly closing the distance between us. It seems that the Broken Roses are a group of people with much more power than I expected.

At the same time, familiar flags start to wave in the distance in Levien, and dragons start to soar into the sky. It seems that the situation has ripened enough for it to become ripe, so it is time to step in to mediate.

“The commander is dead. If you want to live...”

-Koosh!

At that moment, a heavy crash was heard from behind, along with the sound of people falling down.

Without even turning my body completely to check, I just turned my head slightly and looked behind me. The Broken Rose mercenary group was rushing out like a wave, breaking through the encirclement that Rudra’s soldiers had laid out.

“Hero found! Escort him!”

“Guard your rear and flanks! Don’t stand up and fight! Hold your ground!”

There was something heart-pounding about the sight of the members moving as cleanly as machines in a chaotic battlefield.

“I came to collect my prize money.”

There is no need to mention Captain Lizzy, who appeared in the middle of it all while casually saying a word. The group of Laughter Bells who appeared with them naturally stood behind me and fixed their weapons, which was a perfect scene to make the enemies cringe.

“···Put down your weapons and kneel. If you don’t, I will consider you an enemy.”

As the Levien’s dragon knights flew over our heads and began to blow their horns to show off their presence, the soldiers around us threw their weapons on the ground without hesitation.

The sound of the falling weapon soon spread to a voice announcing the death of the commander, and the voice further changed to a form that persuaded the allies that they must continue fighting unless they put down their weapons. Thanks to this, it did not take long for Rudra’s troops to kneel without any hesitation.

“If you had told me in advance, I would have done my best to help you.”

As I was looking at that sight and finally feeling that the work was over, Lizzie quietly approached me and spoke to me naturally using honorifics. She must have been pushing for quite some time, but she didn’t lose her breath even once. She truly possessed the stamina of a half-orc.

“Well, there were many reasons why I couldn’t help it.”

“I don’t know if you have the skills to help me?”

“That’s not wrong, but I wouldn’t say it’s the reason. It’s just that it was more effective to handle it alone.”

If it had escalated into a fight between armies, these fools would have continued their foolish actions without realizing the reality until the end.

Those who think they can be beaten by just one person need to go through an experience that completely destroys their common sense, and then they’ll come to their senses. I plan on chasing them all away anyway, but if I give them that much enlightenment, won’t they do less bad things behind the scenes when fighting the Demon King’s army?

It wasn’t planned for the Broken Rose to participate in the war, but it was still not a bad thing since it proved that the mercenary group had enough skills to fill the gap left by the Allied Forces.

“Let me formally introduce myself. I am Eldmia Ega, active as a warrior of the machine.”

When I offered a handshake to her who did such a nice thing without me asking her to, Lizzy just stared at me for a while without any reaction, then shook her shoulders and grabbed my hand.

“I’m Lizzy, the second leader of the Broken Rose. You’re a much more cheerful person than I thought.”

Are you saying that because you created this mess?

I tilted my head at the words I couldn’t understand, but Lizzy just laughed heartily.
