Chapter 577 - War Started (5) (1/2)

The massacre lasted for 10 minutes before the last Regalia's soldiers died on the top of the wall. However, that was not the last Regalia soldiers in this outpost.

A group of 10 Regalia's soldiers was surrounded inside the outpost. This was the outpost's commander's group. These 10 people were cornered to one side of the outpost. They formed a half circle and faced Gaia's soldiers.

In front of these Regalia's soldiers, there were Gaia soldiers triple their size with Smite among these people.

Smite looked at these leftover soldiers from Regalia. He walked to the front and said, ”Surrender, now! And, I will leave your corpse intact!”

”Fat Chance! There is no way I will surrender!” The outpost's commander answered.

”If you want to chop my corpse and feed it to the dog, I will not care! I have died anyway! But, there is no way I will surrender! I will fight you to the end!”

After the outpost's commander said that, the other soldiers roared because of their commander's sentence.

Seeing this, Smite shook his head. He already knew that he would not be able to persuade the commander to surrender. So, Smite ordered, ”Killed them!”

With that order, the Gaia's soldiers showered the Regalia's soldiers with their attacks. The Regalia's soldiers shouted and also fought to their last breath. The two sides clashed.

Of course, Gaia's soldiers, who had more numbers, had the advantages. Moreover, they had clerics on their side. Meanwhile, the Regalia's side didn't have clerics on their side. In no time, all of the Regalia's soldiers died. The outpost's commander was the last Regalia's soldiers to die. He saw all of his subordinates died before his eyes. With the last bit of his strength left, he brought over one of Gaia's soldiers to the other side.

Smite was seeing all of these scenes in front of him. In the end, he shook his head and felt pity for the outpost's commander. It was such a pity for Regalia to have this kind of commander at their disposal. If only Smite could recruit this man to his side, then he would gladly accept him. However, he knew that a loyal man like this outpost's commander couldn't betray others.

After killing everyone, Smite ordered, ”Clean up the place! And, send a message back to the city.”

With the last bit of the Regalia's soldiers died, the battle in the outpost had ended. It was time to clean up the place and tally up the casualties. Not only that, they had to prepare when the Regalia's reinforcements came to this place.

When Smite was overseeing the cleaning process and tallying up the casualties number, a soldier reported to him, ”Commander, we have found these people inside the prison!”

The soldier brought a bunch of people. These people were the representatives of the Sparrow Family that had been imprisoned by the outpost's commander.

Smite wanted to say something but was interrupted by one of the representatives, ”Release us, and we will reward you heavily!”

The representative arrogantly said that sentence because of the previous incident when Smite asked for ransom for the noble's son. They thought that Smite was a man that could be bought over with money.

Smite smiled and said, ”Oh really? How could I trust you? And, what are you going to pay me with?”
