Chapter 211: Red Wolf Mercenaries 4
The next day after their fierce battle with the Garlic Mercenaries.
Luke was called by Count Marcus and went over to his barracks to visit him.
After the battle was over, Luke was told that the commander was watching the battle, and he expected him to call over Luke for details soon.
He didn’t think of the possibility of being punished. If so, then all the Red Wolf Mercenaries would have already been taken into custody by the military police.
‘This is amazing.’
Luke bowed upon reaching the commander’s barracks.
The floor was covered with expensive rugs and silk insignia’s imported from the southern continent and the barracks were decorated.
In addition, the equipment in the barracks was lavish.
All of the nobility, including the pottery from the Song Empire and lacquer wares of art, were luxuries that covered the barracks.
‘He is one of the richest people in the Holy Empire, and he had a strong influence on the battlefield.’
While Luke was deep in his thoughts, Count Marcus emerged.
“Come on in.”
“You called for me, Lord?” Luke asked.
“Yes, I did. Sit down let’s talk.”
Luke sat in the place where Marcus pointed to.
Right then, a female knight who seemed to be the escort knight brought in refreshments.
Marcus poured in hot tea and added sugar using a silver spoon.
“Your name is Lev?”
“That is right.”
Luke nodded as he heard the commander refer to him with the name he registered with.
“You’re from the Castia Kingdom? I heard that you were a fallen noble, is that true?”
‘Aldof blew it.’
Some kind of information had been given over, so Luke tried to respond calmly.
“That is true.”
“The thing about Castia Kingdom; that’s a lie, right?”
There was a reason why Count Marcus asked that.
Over the past night, he understood that the Mercenary Captain Lev was Luke in disguise.
He was told of the basics by Aldof.
In the meantime, he had contacted a business headquarters with magic communication and ordered further investigations.
Small mercenary groups with Gigants, even those who lead the expert organizations, felt unusual.
“My men surveyed the Castia Mercenary Guild, and it was less than a month since your mercenary group was founded, and they weren’t aware that your mercenary had Gigants.”
“…”
“Let’s talk honestly, or we will have to regard you as a gang which has invaded our lands as rebels,” Marcus stated.
Count Marcus stated an ultimatum.
Luke took a glance at it.
“If I really was a rebel, you’re head would have already been cut off.”
“What did you say?”
When Count Marcus turned unpleasant, Luke pointed at the tent behind them.
“Don’t tell me that you believe in the escort knights who stand behind you,” Luke stated.
Was Luke aware of the escort knights that Count Marcus has hidden behind the tent? As Luke spilled the truth, he ran straight over to attack Luke.
Moreover, anticipating Luke’s ability, the ambush escorts were placed.
They weren’t weak knights who could get caught at a glance.
Nevertheless, Luke managed to notice the ambush at once.
Marcus once again felt that the skills Luke possessed weren’t normal.
Luke smiled to himself as Marcus averted his eyes to stop the energy which was overflowing from Luke’s body.
But after a while, with a sober look, he said,
“In the past, the Volga Kingdom had a knight called Belik. He turned into a full-time knight at the age of 18 and achieved numerous titles by always being in the frontlines of battle, and at the age of 27, he became the vice-captain of a knights’ division.”
“Well, I think I have heard of him. Was his nickname the Fire Storm?”
Fire Storm Belik.
It was hoped that the knight would be the sword that would protect the future of the Volga Kingdom, but he was one of the unfortunate knights who had suffered the tragedy during the upheaval of times.
“At the time of the republic rebellion in the Volga Kingdom, he struggled against the rebels who were being led by Dimitry and began to act strange. Some say he was caught and executed; some say that he fled away to the southern continent.”
