Chapter 156 The Gears begin to turn (2/2)

”Have you five heard of this verse before?

Run, run, run, cause here he comes.

Run, run, run, for the monster comes.

A Swish of his blade and your head begone

With the shot of his gun, you're all but done.

So have any of you heard of this verse before? It's alright you can answer me informally.” When they heard their general say so, one of the men stepped forward and answered.

”Sir that verse is was made to describe the monster of Berdonia... Lyner. All soldiers and mercenaries back in the battlefield tell this verse to the newbies. They used this verse to frighten the newcomers so that they'll keep their awareness up.”

”Very good soldier that is indeed correct, but what do you five know about the man who the verse was talking about? What do you five know about Lyner?”

When the five heard the new question of their general, another one of them stepped forward to answer.

”Lyner last name unknown, even his age is unknown. The time he first started out as a mercenary is unknown. All data about him seem to be nonexistent. The people that supposedly know more about him are either dead, or are now insane. The only thing we do know about him at this point, is that he is Berdonian and that he is one of the three living SS rank mercenary. His nickname was 'the monster of the battlefield.' That's all we the information we have on him.” After giving out his answer the soldier went back in line with the other five.

”Everything you say is correct, there is nothing much we know about him. Still there is one piece of information you must know, before I tell you what the mission is. Lyner killed my son...” When Tang Jing said those last words their was extreme hatred that you could feel surrounding him.

”So now that you know that, I will brief you on your mission. I want the five of you to go to Berdonia specifically the city were Lyner lives and-”

The five soldier continued listening to their general's orders, mentally preparing themselves for what's to come.

...

In a manmade underground cave, Michel and Carlo were sitting in front of a campfire. While Dan and Ryu were out scouting the area.

It has been two days since they got into enemy territory and what they saw was unexpected. The enemy base was located near the border limit of Berdonia. The base was a huge fortress with an army defending it. Making Infiltrating the place harder than expected.

So now Carlo, Michel, Dan, and Ryu needed to reformulate the plan. They needed to scout the area first, learn how many enemy forces there were, and other important information, and so for the past two days, all they've been doing was recon.

Which led them to make a hidden base within enemy territory. Using Dan's brute strength and Ryu's abilities the four of them made this manmade underground cave.

So now in the present time, Carlo was deeply thinking about something and out of nowhere spoke to Michel.

”Hey Mich, how about we get married?” Michel who heard Carlo's sudden proposal had her eyes widened in shock.

”Huh? What?... What are you talking about? Are you kidding me? Why ask that now?” Michel in a state of confusion asked question after question.

”I'm not kidding. I really do want to marry you.” Seeing how serious Carlo was, Michel calmed down.

”Okay... I believe you, but why tell me that now?”

”Well I was thinking back to the time when we first met. I thought I would never get into a serious relationship. I also didn't believe I would ever have kids, but look at me now. I have two kids and I don't have a wife. I kinda did the order in reverse got kids first before getting a wife. Seeing as you are kinda my first love and all that, and I do still, kinda, you know, love you. I think it would be appropriate to ask you to be my wife.”

Hearing Carlo's answer made Michel laugh. Carlo smiled awkwardly seeing Michel laugh so hard. When she was done laughing, Michel looked at Carlo stood up approached him and out of nowhere kissed him.

”Sure, Carlo Samarita. I will marry you, and be your wife.”

There in the most unromantic of places, using the most unromantic proposal, Carlo Samarita had gained a wife. Also unknown to Alex and Lilitth they had gained a mother.
