"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 hurriedly 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 to play music and welcome them lowered their
heads slightly to mourn.
"How... How did this happen..." Lisha's voice trembled as she sobbed.
Flynn walked over and said, "I'm sorry for your loss, Miss."
Just then, a ceremonial team member suddenly shouted, "Look! Someone's
coming!"
Hearing this, everyone looked up quickly.
Then they saw a dozen soldiers in military uniform riding over on horses. It was
none other than Sean and Zander leading them!
Sean was alive!
Not only was Sean alive, but Zander was also all right. None of the ten city
defense soldiers and five personal guards were dead either!
What was going on?
Hundreds of stray mercenaries ambushed them.
How did they survive?
Uriah watched in shock as Sean and others approached. His face was full of
disbelief.
Shania's face reddened with excitement as her face was covered with tears.
Lisha covered her chest with both hands as if to soothe her frightened heart.
Flynn's face was full of disbelief.
Finally, Sean and the others arrived and dismounted.
"Ms. Lewis and Uriah, did you get pursued by mercenaries along the way?" Sean
asked.
Shania shook her head vigorously before rubbing her eyes and saying, "No,
thanks to you for distracting the attackers. Otherwise, we'd be screwed... Mr.
Lennon, how did you survive? What about the stray mercenary regiment?"
Looking around, Sean smiled and replied, "We've killed the stray mercenary
regiment.”
As soon as he said this, there was a deathly silence.
A stray mercenary regiment of more than 100 men was destroyed by Sean with a
dozen men.
Was that a joke?
Even if a dozen men were to kill more than a hundred pigs, they could not finish
killing them before their arms tired.
Not to mention 100 armed mercenaries!
How did Sean do it with such a difference in numbers and strength?
Flynn immediately stepped forward and asked, "Commander Lennon, how did
you kill that stray mercenary regiment with your men? Please don't
misunderstand. I don't mean to belittle you in any way, but the stray mercenary
regiment far outnumbers you. I can't imagine how you could turn the tables
around and still keep all your soldiers alive."
Flynn's question was one that everyone in this room wanted to ask.
Shania, Uriah, and Lisha looked to Sean for answers.
