Chapter 310 - The Army Grows (2/2)

”He was a bit of a feisty one, wasn't he!” Roy said, laughing.

”Say's the person who charged in without confirming who the enemy was?” Lenny added.

The students were starting to head off with the guards back to the city and just before Springett went off to go with them. Lenny pulled on Springett's hand and whispered in her ear.

”You said you wanted to know why I was here, right? Well, meet me at this inn tonight and make sure you come alone and aren't followed.”

Springett nodded before heading off with the other students and the tower master. As they walked off, he could see most of the students were still frightened, thinking that maybe at any second more beasts would come out and attack them.

”Don't worry kids, if anything comes out, I'll protect you guys.” Roy said hoping to cheer them up but seemed to have no effect.

They had been through a lot, and it wouldn't be a surprise if a lot of the students who remained, decided to no longer pursue being a mage. Or at least not one that would be put on the front line in a war.

Back at the battlefield, the Underdog members had just finished extracting all of the crystals from the beasts. Luckily Martha was able to obtain a storage bag from the underdog's leader Osbourne.

These were quite expensive to come by, and Martha could never ask Slyvia for funds to get something like this.

When Jack had attacked him earlier, he had only been knocked out, but soon after, when the beasts had come and eaten him alive. It was a cruel way to go, but there was nothing they could have done at the time.

Martha then turned back and looked at the Underdog guild members. She could hear many of them discussing what to do now. Without their leader, they felt lost and would have to start adventuring on their own again or join other guilds.

”Ray did say he needed more men, right?” Martha thought.

She then gathered all of the men and stood Infront of them.

”I am sorry about the loss of your leader tonight, it was neither our intention to take the life of a great man. But remember you were the ones who started this attack on us.” Martha said. ”With just the two of us, we had no choice but to fight back today, but I want all of you to remember you did a great thing today. Because of your efforts, those children are able to go back to their families, and I thank you all.”

With a speech like that, the Underdog guild members felt it hard to hate the two people in front of them. A lot of the members didn't even know why the guild war had started in the first place. But after witnessing their power, they never wanted to go up against a Redwing member again.

”So I call you all today. To ask you, if you have nowhere to go then we Redwings will take you in. Your things will be paid for, and accommodation will be given to you and your family. You saw what happened today, the shadow is able to attack anywhere, anytime and anyplace. No city is longer safe. But if you join the Redwings, we can protect you. All we ask for is complete loyalty.”

With those words spoken, a queue started to form in front of Martha. As each member appeared in front of them, Martha offered them the contract of the system one by one. Some chose to accept while others didn't. Those that accepted were told to head off to Avrion to join the Redwings.

Slowly their army was starting to grow.
