The Guardian's Sword

The night was dark.

Dorodo was 100 miles west, and the army of thirteen hundred was now on
standby.

These were all Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment's men.

Black Gold Flower mercenary regiment was a fixed mercenary regiment in
Crosac. They were supposed to be in Crosac, but it was strange that they were
only 100 miles away from Dorodo.

The mercenaries of Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment rested in groups of
ten, eating preserved food.

In the most central tent, a middle-aged man with a black beard was discussing
something with several people around him.

The man with a black beard was Blackbeard-the leader of Black Gold Flower
Mercenary Regiment!

Blackbeard suddenly slammed one hand on the table, cracking the map on the
table.

"Tonight is the night we win! Let's wait another hour. The mole I sent to Dorodo
will send word back. At the very least, we could get the map of Dorodo's city
defense army and find out where the city defense army's defenses are the
weakest. When we do, our troops will crush Dorodo in a heartbeat!" Blackbeard
said and burst into laughter.

"1 will become the mayor of Dorodo, and all of you will be my marshals!"

The people in front of Blackbeard were excited.

"Sir, we will do our best in this battle!"

"That's right!"

"Defeat Dorodo! Take over Dorodo!"

Only one young man seemed hesitant as he said, "But Dorodo is guarded by the
city defense army of 3,000 men. We only have 1,300 men..."

Before the man had finished speaking, Blackbeard cast an unhappy gaze.

But, before Blackbeard could speak, the others yelled. "Dorodo’s city defense
army has 3,000 men, but they're nothing! How many battles have they been
through? What fighting power can they have? All I have to do is strike with my
brothers a few times, and they will break!"

"You're right!"

"Dorodo's city defense army has many men, but there's nothing to fear!"

The young man hesitated again before saying, "I heard Dorodo's city defense
army has a new commander-in- chief who's young but capable. He runs the city
defense army in good order and with strict discipline..."

Several of Blackbeard's generals could not help but glare at the young man.
"Whose side are you on?"

"Do you think we'll lose tonight?"

The young man sighed helplessly before saying, "I'm just asking you to be
careful..."

"Careful my a*s!"

"Is that stupid commander-in-chief comparable to our leader? When our leader
was leading troops in battle, he was probably a kid still growing his teeth out!"
"I've heard of this commander-in-chief. His name is Sean Lennon. He's capable,
but that's about it! He's nothing before Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment!"
With that said, the generals burst into laughter as if they had already taken over
Dorodo.

The leader of Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment nodded and said, "A mere
kid is nothing to fear. Won't he be scared out of his wits if I lead an army against
Dorodo?"

The leader of Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment, Blackbeard had just
finished speaking when a deafening sound rang suddenly.

"Attack!

"The enemy's here!"

"It's Dorodo's city defense army..."
