Chapter 212

“Lord, what did Count Marcus say?”

The moment Luke returned back to his mercenary’s camp, Philip came out of his tent and asked .

“To move under him . ”

“Well, just as the Lord has expected . ”

After the battle with the Garlic Mercenary, Philip asked Luke why he was obligated to file for a duel .

He wanted to hear Luke’s reason .

“So you accepted his request?”

“Crazy? Emperor Rudolf himself can’t subdue me, and you think I will bow down in front of a merchant?”

“Ha ha ha, I guess so . But, it makes no sense for you to fight with the Garlic Mercenary if you are going to refuse the request of the count, right?” Asked Philip .

“Which is why I have asked him to give me some time until this march ends . ”

“You did well . Now you can take a deep breath and show your skills freely . I feel very sorry for those rebels who go against you, but they are going to get smashed…”

It was when Philip was speaking .

They could hear a noise outside, and Victor who was leading the knights, entered the barracks .

“What is happening outside?”

At the question from Philip, who was annoyed with the interruption .

“The Garlic mercenary have entered our camp once again . ”

“I beg your pardon? I don’t get it, are those kids really that stupid?”

“I think we need to give them an example as to what happens if they do the same stuff over again . ” Spoke Luke, with anger in his eyes .

Burning with anger, Luke went straight out of the barracks .

The knights, who saw the Garlic mercenaries confronted them .

“What is it? You want to fight once again?”

When Luke narrowed his eyes and asked, Gavel looking embarrassed knelt down in front of him .

Followed by the other men of his mercenary .

“Please accept us!”

“What?”

“I am willing to dismantle the Garlic Mercenary and join the Red Wolf Mercenary . So please accept us!”

Gavel along with countless other men of his group pleaded and begged Luke .

However, Luke’s eyes didn’t change at all . It was because he was able to read yet another greedy and sneaky deceit in them by approaching him while looking all ashamed for their actions .

‘Gavel’s men, all because they all lost to me, they think they can blame me . They lost in front of so many people, so they are no longer a huge mercenary group and they won’t be funded that well . ’

When Luke was feeling all cynical, Victor approached him .

“Lord, take them in . ”

“Why? Is there any strong reason for us to do that?”

“Anyway, having more troops will cause a better merit on our war record . ”

“Then, what if they decide to betray us?”

“Huhu, I don’t think we are so lacking in our skills to fall for their betrayal . ”

At those words of Victor, Luke nodded . As a result of the direct fight, one would realize that the reputation of the Garlic mercenary was plainly exaggerated .

Gavel, who was known to be a Higher Expert, was actually an intermediate Expert, and the other mercenaries who were told to be lower Experts, were barely on the Expert level .

In addition, there were many swordsmen in the mercenary, but in the 500 of them, there was rarely a person who could go against one Rakan knight .

“And if you are worried about betrayal, you won’t even have to think about it . Don’t we have a very outstanding talent in that area?”

Saying that, Victor looked over at Philip .

Philip smiled meaningfully while listening to it .

If the one who said that was Alex or Kaper, the instructor would have felt surely fed up!

‘Well, it is true that we need men to fight . ’

Luke will accept the Garlic mercenary under one condition .

“Condition…?”

When Gavel asked for it, Luke stomped on the ground .

“You guys will get to take fencing training under us . ”

“Fencing?” Asked Gavel .

“Yes, I think that you should try to fill in the places where you lack . ”

Luke’s words lighted the faces of Gavel and his men . But they didn’t have the desire to learn swords .

“Why? Don’t like it? Then leave the thought of joining . ”

“Ah, no, it isn’t like that . Rather it was something we wanted to ask too . ”

In fact, they decided to join the Red Wolf Mercenary after watching Luke enter the Commander Barracks .

When he noticed that the commander was interested in him, he wanted to get under him .

‘This guy seems to have the eyes of the commander on him, so if we get under him, we will have a lot of opportunities . ’

To fall under a young man and raise his money and swordsmanship .

Gavel wanted to remove the humiliation he felt that day before and be reborn .

‘Just as my father said, a man’s revenge isn’t too late even after 10 years . ’

Gavel smiled not realizing it .

But unfortunately for him, the fact that Philip and the Rakan knights were as sneaky and bloodthirsty as everyone else .
