495 The choosen one (1/2)

Commander Reid Knew about Naethan and what he would do; however, he hoped that he would not do something reckless in an attempt to help him.

'Damn this...somebody's watching me from the shadows. Only one power can do that. I need to hurry up,' Commander Reid didn't want to alert the person that was watching him. So, he casually went to do his routine work in order not to raise any suspicions; however, in his mind, various thoughts and plans were continuously made to save his and his family members' lives before the royal family made their move.

....

The Guild Master, Rulf and other mercenaries, who were expecting a back up from the top three sects and the five great families didn't know that they were not getting any reinforcements from them except for a loyal team under Commander Reid.

”My essence of nature is completely used up. I need a small break,”

”I can still hold onto another 10 more minutes until then you can recover,”

”I have around 30 percent of the essence of nature in my spirit consciousness. So, those who want to take rest can take it now,”

All the mercenaries killed the demons with their fellow squad members. So, they have better coordination with one another.

Moreover, they backed up each other's backs and allowed their weakened squad member to take some rest to recover their essence of nature.

Similar things happened in each and every squad in which their strongest squad members helped their weakest squad members.

”Why are they taking so long?”

The old guild master, who was looking at the battle between mercenaries and the demons felt something was not right when they still didn't get the reinforcements from the other powers of the Zrochester province.

”Guild master, if this goes on, my spirit consciousness will be completely depleted by the time the third batch of the demon army arrives,” Rulf came out of the demon army and said to the guild master while grasping for some air.

”I know. Just save at least 40 percent of your essence of nature; otherwise, I need to enter the fight. And you want what will happen if I enter the fight, right?” The guild master looked at nearly 1000 demons in the demon army as he asked Rulf.

”Yes, Guild master. I know,” All of a sudden, Rulf became serious and nodded his head as he knew the consequences of the guild master entering the fight.

'Although, we might win this small scare demon invasion; however, the guild master needs even more time to heal his injuries and that would make the mercenary guild invulnerable,' Rulf silently thought about the consequences in his head.

”I will do as you say, guild master,” Rulf nodded his head before asking, ”Why are the reinforcements taking too much time?”

It had been hours since Edmond had sent the information to the Guild master and who in turn sent it to the mercenary guild building to inform all the top sects, great families and royal families.

So, just like the guild master, Rulf also sensed something was wrong with reinforcements, which were supposed to join them already.

”Haha...what happened to you, guild master? You are still waiting for the reinforcements?” Before the guild master could give a reply to Rulf, Edmond came out of the demon army to take a short break from the killing while asking the guild master about the reinforcement with a loud laugh.
