Chapter 229: Meteor Strike 4

After taking over the city of Eisenberg, the army was staying there for a while.

In order to attack Alvera, it was necessary for them to have a safe place, to repair their Gigants at once and to refill their military supplies and stuff.

On the other hand, it was important for them to establish safe boundaries and secure the place.

If they weren’t able to organize it safely, they could get stabbed from behind.

The Red Wolf Mercenaries too had participated in the sweep.

The number they had was very small, so Count Marcus tried to exclude them from the sweep, but Luke wanted his knights to get all kinds of various experiences they could in the field.

“This neighborhood seems all cleared now.”

“Soon we will march towards Alvera. Duke Ferrierd has refused to surrender.”

Luke and the other members of Red Wolf had returned to Eisenberg after talking about things.

Returning to the safe house, they witnessed the fight started by a knight in front of a restaurant.

“This guy is trying to kill me! The dog food that you made me eat! And now you want to get paid for that?!”

“I, I. my children need to eat too…”

“Crazy bastard! What good would it do to feed dog food! Think of this as me saving them!” Yelled the knight

“Ah, father!”

When the elderly man was pushed to the ground.

Seeing that, his young daughter rushed over to his side.

Seeing her, the knight grabbed the hand of the young girl.

“Ho, you have one cute puppy here.”

“Let, let me go, please let me…”

“You don’t have to be afraid, I won’t eat you.”

When the army knight tried to harass the girl, Luke who couldn’t watch it anymore interfered.

“Do your work right. Weren’t you informed to not harm the unarmed civilians?” Asked Luke.

“What is it with you again?” Asked the frustrated knight.

“From where did you even…”

Annoyed knights turned their heads in the direction of the voice.

They were almost ready to take down the man who opposed them, but they were shocked to see Luke’s face.

“Hick!, sorry, excuse us, Red Wolf Captain!”

“I am not the one you need to be apologizing for, it is him.” Stated Luke.

Hearing those words, the knights turned in the direction of the restaurant owner and bowed to him, quickly disappearing after that.

Luke and his party looking at those knights couldn’t help but feel irritated.

“Look at their clothes, they aren’t even the normal knights, they are paladins.”

“That too was part of the Central Army!”

“How are they even being allowed to use the divine power? Does the God have no concept?”

“Sir Philip, you shouldn’t be saying those words in front of others.”

In retrospect, Schmidt, a serial killer, also was able to use divine power.

Thinking about that, Luke thought that the divine power could be a different form of power than the one God might allow.

“Anyway, the captain’s position is different. They just look at your face and run away…”

Just as Philip was saying, there was no one in the army who didn’t know the faces of Luke or the Red Wolf Mercenaries.

It was due to the fact that the captain of such named mercenary had smashed down the Meteor Strike.

The scenes before their death were so shocking that every single detail of it got clearly embedded into their brain.

“It is hard to be a famous person. It will turn into a huge deal if Emperor Rudolf notices.” Luke stated the known fact.

“What to do if he notices? Let’s just succeed in here and eat the entire Holy Empire. Wouldn’t that be easy for us when we fight the Baroque Empire?” Asked Philip.

Luke couldn’t help but smile at Philip’s words.

There was nothing bad about becoming famous.

It meant that the time to meet Reina was getting closer.
