Chapter 128 - Brogen the Barbarian (2/2)

A huge number of the hobgoblin army was being pushed back by less than a thousand vagabonds and adventurers. Anyone who would see this scene would surely be stunned senseless.

Brogen unequipped his shield and stomped his feet on the ground to jumped in midair. He held his massive mace with two hands and used his full strength to strike the central part of the hobgoblin formation.

He planned to divide the formation of the hobgoblin army. It was a crazy plan but he was fairly confident that he could hold his own against thousands of hobgoblins.

The strongest among these hobgoblins was merely at the Divine-Class level. Most of them were at the Emperor-Class level and the King-Class level, so Brogen who was a Saint will have no problem with slaying them effortlessly.

He was also an Earth Elemental, so he can control the element of Earth. His strike landed on the head of a hobgoblin before it struck the ground. His attack created a huge crater on the ground, cobweb-like fissures can be seen after his vicious strike. Many hobgoblins stumbled and lost their footing. Their bodies dropped down the huge crater were Brogen was waiting for them like a predator.

Brogen swung his mace around like a meat grinder. Limbs and body parts scattered beneath the crater. The smell of blood permeated, causing him to feel nostalgic.

During his younger years in Gallantos, he had experienced countless battles before everyone called him Barbarian Emperor. His style of fighting was savage and wild, disregarding the orthodox way. His brute force alone would overpower the top sword masters of Gallantos, making them feel helpless.

But after becoming Cale's subordinate, he was transported in a world were cold weapons were but a matter of the past. He wasn't able to show his true abilities, but now... He was like a starved camel who had seen an oasis in the hot desert.

All the hobgoblins that he had killed didn't have an intact body. Countless unrecognizable parts of their bodies were scattered on the ground.

He jumped out of the crater after seeing that all the hobgoblins that fell inside the crater were already dead. Or to be exact, they were grounded into pieces.

They then finished off the remaining hobgoblins.

The vagabonds and adventurers glanced fearfully at the towering Brogen as if he was a demon. They had seen how this person had killed his way into the hobgoblin army. It looks like he had even killed more than a thousand hobgoblins all by himself. Such a scary man would make anyone tremble in fright with his presence alone.

They then glanced at the other Saints who were finishing off the Goblin Shamans.

The vagabonds and adventurers sat on the ground while breathing heavily. They consumed a lot of origin essence in fighting against that army. They would have become goblin meals if not for the Saints. Their fighting prowess could truly change the tides of war.

From the nine hundred and fifty-four hired vagabonds and mercenaries, only a little more than three hundred managed to come out alive. The rest were now lifeless and cold corpses.

Alucard took the three heads of the Goblin Generals that Wolf King killed. He would show this to the Mercenary Guild to report the completion of the mission. At the thought of the mission's reward, he was very excited. But he forced himself to look calm on the surface.

With the help of Wolf King and his subordinates, they finished the mission without any problem. Of course, aside from the heavy casualties among the people they hired.

He then distributed the promised reward for the hired adventurers and vagabonds. He even added another fifty gold coins to each and everyone. This was merely a small compensation compared to the pill that he will receive.

Aside from that, he still hasn't thought of how he could thank Wolf King and his subordinates. Now that's quite troublesome. As he was thinking of ways on how to thank them, a robed figure wearing a silver wolf mask approached him.

Alucard nodded his head while giving the man a fist-palm salute.

”Thank you for your help, Wolf King. Is there any way I can help you with in order to repay this favor?”

Wolf King smiled and thought for a moment before he spoke.

”There is indeed something that I need your help with, sir Alucard.”

Alucard smiled and nodded his head.

”As long as it is something that I can do, then I don't mind helping you, Wolf King.”

”Actually, I and my subordinates really wanted to become mercenaries. Is there any way for you to introduce us to the Mercenary Guild?” Wolf King smiled abashedly.

Alucard was stunned for a moment and he could not help but laugh heartily.

”Wolf King, I won't boast... but my words have some power in the Mercenary Guild. Don't worry, I will help you with this matter.

I will recommend you and your subordinates become Platinum-Rank mercenaries. But as for becoming Adamantine-Rank mercenaries... You guys have to work on that.”

Alucard patted Wolf King's shoulder. He thought that the latter would ask for something troublesome. He was relieved that Wolf King only asked for himself and his subordinates to become mercenaries. With his authority, he should be able to help them get the Platinum-Rank without problems.
