Chapter 284
A word that slipped out without him realizing it.
“Impressive.”
“Hmm? What is?”
“Ah, I’ve also traveled around and fought that monster once.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, it was stronger than a Troll King.”
Duke Amur’s eyes widened slightly.
“Stronger than a Troll King? Really?”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
Duke Amur looked at the Knight Commander.
“Oh, that’s quite surprising. I didn’t know they were that strong. You’ve accomplished a great feat, so you deserve a reward. However, there’s a more urgent matter at hand, so finish your current mission first. Then, I will reward you handsomely. This applies to everyone gathered here, so please put your best effort into this.”
Everyone responded with voices that were not loud but filled with strength.
“Understood, Your Grace.”
Their appearance was rather trustworthy.
“Now, from now on, listen to the instructions of Baron Muhyuk next to me. Consider his words as my own and follow them.”
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
Muhyuk stepped forward.
“Before we discuss what to do, I want to say one thing. While you are with me, you are absolutely not knights, soldiers, mages, priests, or Holy Knights of this place. You are merely mercenaries hired by me. You must remember that fact to avoid any disruptions in our plan.”
Some wore displeased expressions, but they had no choice but to agree, given Duke Amur’s earlier words.
“When heading to Callum Village, you must also remove the equipment you are currently wearing. We must erase the fact that you belong to the Hamil Empire itself. I will give you two days to equip yourselves with mercenary-like gear and come to Callum Village.”
