Chapter 109 Fight Until The End! (2/2)

And this time, both of their positions were rather special.

Rhode and Frank were nobles, except one of them was from the Eastern Plains, Munn Kingdom, and the other one was a noble from Barce Dominion, Country of Light. It can be said that this fight wasn't only a collision between two mercenary groups, it may even rise to fight between noble and noble, or even turn into an 'international issue' between the Munn Kingdom and the Country of Light!

Everyone waited for the Mercenary Association's decision.

No matter what decision they made, it definitely would benefit only one side. The Mercenary Association wouldn't be able to punish them too severely, so wouldn't they cause trouble again soon?

Rhode had killed someone in public, so Klautz, the Duke of Deep Stone City, already sent people to investigate the matter. If they continued to make trouble…

Anyway, Old President and Sereck were puzzled. In their opinion, Rhode was a very stubborn individual. But this was the first time that he mercilessly attempted to kill someone. Although they suspected Jade Tears was up to something, it was only a conjecture, after all. But it seems like Rhode would kill 99 people than to let one escape.

Old President could never tell what Rhode was thinking. However, he was sure that he was standing on the Munn Kingdom's side. Still, his actions were sometimes inexplicable. When he met Frank for the first time, he easily exposed his identity and then actually killed someone in broad daylight without hesitation. If it wasn't for that mysterious old man who suddenly appeared, Frank would've definitely have died that day.

It wasn't as though Jade Tears was innocent. After the incident, Old President sent out people to investigate the mysterious old man who saved Frank but couldn't find any traces of him as if he didn't exist at all.

Since both Jade Tears and Starlight were acting very strangely, there must be something happening behind it!

The Old President sighed and said.

”According to the Mercenary Association regulations, Jade Tears mercenary group started the provocation first. Their punishment will be two points deduction and a fine of one thousand gold coins. Starlight mercenary group— though have their reasons, — leader Rhode still killed someone in public and gave a bad public image. Their punishment will be two points deduction and a fine of one thousand five hundred gold coins. From this moment on, both sides are strictly prohibited from resuming the conflict or similar reoccurring incidents. Otherwise, the Mercenary Association will dissolve the mercenary group!”

Everyone was surprised.

It seemed like the Mercenary Association gave them quite a heavy punishment.

But, will Jade Tears and Starlight let this matter go?

Looking at Jade Tear's vice-leader gloomy expression and Rhode's impassive face, even the Old President didn't believe that this matter would end just like that.

Both sides were silent and that made the everyone worried. The punishment handed to them wasn't light. If a similar incident happened, they would be forced to disband and to a mercenary group, that was the worst outcome.

They wouldn't continue to fight… right?

So, the mercenary joint meeting finally ended. Everyone left with different opinions about the situation. Although many things happened during the meeting, most mercenaries were satisfied with the outcome. At least they were given enough time to recover and bolster their strength before taking on missions again. And as for those mercenary groups that didn't receive heavy casualties, this was the best chance for them to take a rest.

Rhode also had a similar plan.

The 30-day prohibition didn't only benefit other mercenary groups, but was also an excellent opportunity for Rhode to develop his ability.

He wanted to take advantage of the time to train all the newcomers until they reached his requirements. If they were better than expected, then that would be the best outcome.

So, after returning to the stronghold, he immediately gathered everyone and told them to prepare for training. In three days, they were going to the Twilight Forest!
