Ch.78 Put her through the Wringer

Rudolf Black, the founder of the Black Roses, made a name for himself many years ago when he came out of nowhere to lead the last great war of the Five Kingdoms. Many nobles and kings were killed in the great war of the five kingdoms, which made Rudolf very famous.

Most thought Rudolf was nothing more but a simple soldier in the Kingdom of Druwd. He hated being used by nobles and kings of the past. And one day he somehow came in contact with an enemy nobles and killed them without hesitation. That was when he realized that kings and nobles were no different from commoners.

And ever since that day, Rudolf vowed to kill all those who would try to control him. To this day he has never lost a fight against anyone who challenged him. Though many people think Rudolf is insane and like to call him mad.

There is no doubt that Rudolf is one of the greatest fighters of all time during the war.

When he freed himself from the army, he built his own army of mercenaries called Black Roses and went on a rampage on the four other kingdoms until the Kingdom of Marn became rulers of the northwestern part of the continent.

Ever since the founding of the Black Roses Rudolf has led his men to become known as some of the deadliest mercenaries in all of the Agon continent for the last three decades.

However, it wasn't long before Rudolf started making enemies with his main employer, the Kingdom of Marn. As the king started fearing for his life and started a war with the Black Roses.

After much bloodshed and battles, Rudolf started killing off the members of the royal family for their treachery. However, he and his mercenaries couldn't stay in one place for too long due to the constant attacks from other kingdoms and found a safe haven in the Kingdom of Fiafyr, via Count Marcus Revelia who wished to use them to get the throne from his cousin and got his father on board with the plan to become king. Rudolf wanted land of his own to rule over in his older age and decided to help Marcus out with his plans.

That was until Marcus's death and Rudolf is now back to trying to find a new lord that would let him get land of his own. He wished to appease Duke Alaric Revelia, Marcus's father, to take the throne in hopes to get his own lands. But his gut was telling him that it was a long shot. If he feels the duke will betray him, he'll have no choice but to kill him and try again elsewhere.

It wouldn’t be his first time.

"Rudolf. Jeremiah is back and he has the dark elf with him." The voice came from behind him.

"Took him long enough to return. So what is the news?" Rudolf asked.

"It seems one man died putting the slave collar on it. Luckily it looks like the collar is working." the Merc said.

Rudolf gave a sigh of relief knowing it worked. "Good. After spending all that money on it, it better work."

"Yes, commander. What's our next move?"

"Uh... J-Just pretend that I said nothing"

"Spineless coward... Well, I know how you were the only one to survive the Tomb of the Horde." Jeremiah smirks at Dietrich who was gritting his teeth in anger.

At that moment the older man came out of his tent. He had full plate mail on and has a huge shield in one hand and a mace in the other. His face has the look of a warrior from long ago. He also had an axe strapped to his back.

He looks around and suddenly notices Rya.

"Jeremiah, you've done well. Do we know what she can do?" Rudolf asked.

"I haven't put her through the wringer to see how strong she is but she's an earth mage, commander," Jeremiah answered.

"We'll test her. Who in this room wishes to fight this Dark Elf? If anyone beats her they can get to do what they wish to her." Rudolf asked.

Everyone in the room cheered for their chance to challenge Rya.

"Rudolf! Let me challenge her!" yelled Sims.

Rya's skin felt cold. She hated the sound of his voice, lusting after her.

Jeremiah had a smile on his face.

"Everyone clear the space in front of her," Rudolf ordered.

Everyone backed up and cleared the area.

Yelling and laughing could be heard.

Sims came in close to Rya.

"Don't worry. I'll take good care of you after the fight." Sims smirked.

Rya looked up, 'I gotta take this guy down, if I can.'
