Chapter 270: Waking 4

“Huak, Huk!”

Scarlet, who barely survived from the hands of the southern warrior, was out of breath .

She was exhausted and had to go against a Fist Master all alone as she had to help her colleagues get away .

‘If It’s just any normal archer, then I might have…’

Shaking the thoughts out of her head, she walked toward the north of the forest .

“Oh, Oh, Lady! You safely came back!”

When Scarlet returned, Vante, who had arrived a little earlier, opened his mouth with a little color in his face .

One of the retainers was crying, but she refused to think anything unless she confirmed it .

“That… Around 50 people were left behind, and they haven’t returned yet . ”

Thud!

Some could’ve gotten away, but most of them were either going to end up dead or captured .

“It was all my fault . There are such strong men under the new lord…”

“No, no My Lady . We don’t think of it like that . ”

The knights, who were riding the Gigants, were strong, but those who seemed to have come from the southern continent were known to be scary .

The reason why their surprise attack failed was because of the southerner .

At first, they were surprised .

In the middle of the night, infiltrating the secret passage of the lords’ manor in order to delay the enemy, they managed to burn the warehouses and stalls in the gap .

Suddenly, the man from the southern continent appeared and the situation changed .

Using his fist, he literally hit everyone, knocking down the retainers like leaves .

Most of the experts fought against him, but they had taken powerful blows .

When such a strong man appeared, it confused the enemy, and everything backfired . Scarlet immediately ordered for a retreat .

However, the southern continent man decided to chase after them all by himself .

If Scarlet hadn’t stepped in, he might have really killed a few of her men .

“What am I supposed to do now?”

Scarlet briefly thought at the question from Vante .

“It is just a matter of time before the location is revealed . We need to move the camp to another place right away . ”

Even when captured, the retainers weren’t going to open their mouths, and the enemy would definitely sweep the mountain to check for the location .

With trees and fences all around, the men couldn’t hold more than an hour .

“Everybody is tired, and it is hard on them but ask them to pack their belongings . We will move deeper into the mountains . ”

“Yes, Lady!”

The retainers scattered to carry out her orders .

But Luke’s movements became faster .

Leading the mercenaries in pursuit, he managed to find their location . He had Gigants and 3,000 soldiers surround them .

And just like that, they began to sweep through the region .

“Tch! If this continues, we will all die here . ”

As one member of the lady’s retainers climbed the forest tree, they saw the soldiers approaching .

Scarlet bent her head, staring at the retainers who were willing to stay with her till the end .

“I will never forget the loyalty that you have shown me . If there is an afterlife, I hope we meet again . ”

“Hahaha, even there, I promise to stay by your side . ”

“I am just a soldier with no special skills now, but in that life, I will be a Sword Master and take down the bad guys by staying beside you Lady . ”

“Thank you, Tom . ”

Tom was originally a servant who did house chores in the lord’s manor .

But one day, Scarlet’s step-mother’s jewelry had disappeared .

The manor had been overturned in search of it, and Tom was accused as the thief .

Tom explained that it wasn’t him, but Scarlet’s angry stepmother continued to torture him, asking where he had sold off her jewels .

Scarlet checked her step mother’s room and found the jewel that fell behind the dressing table .

Tom managed to barely escape death .

Surviving that, Tom entered Scarlet’s army and remained alongside her even when the lord had died in the rebellion .

In fact, apart from Tom, most of Scarlet’s retainers and soldiers were all men whom she took special care of .

She helped some of them when their family members were ill and injured . She also helped a few of them, who were on the verge of selling off their daughters and wives, by taking them into her group .

If an army was built in that way, their bonds would burn bright with determination and love .

Suddenly, the enemy approached right at their bow’s range .

Among them, a white knight came forward and shouted, “Surrender! You are surrounded!”
