“Enemy!! Enemies have appeared!!!!”

A desperate scream was heard from outside the main tent of the White Wolf Mercenary Group.

And following that, a shout that enemies had appeared penetrated to the inside of the main tent.

“What the hell is this again!!! What bastards are raiding the mercenary group’s tent without any fear!!!”

Kyle reacted to that.

Kyle judged that it was them who had invaded because there were many gangs and bandits in the intermediate zone.

The main targets of the intermediate zone’s gangs and bandits would be ordinary people or adventurers who mainly worked alone.

So, Kyle was already in a bad mood from being robbed by the Red Fox Mercenary Group,

and he thought that even bandits were getting involved, so he flared up with a blood-red face.

“!!!!!!!!”

As Kyle, breathing heavily, went outside with his subordinates to take care of the bandits, his eyes soon widened.

“I thought they would have gone further, but they didn’t run as far as I thought?”

The corpses of the White Wolf Mercenary Group members were lying slaughtered,

and the identity of the being standing in the middle of them was none other than Eugene Schneider.

The Red Fox Mercenary Group mobilized the power of the Management Knights, but their ultimate purpose was not to punish them through public authority.

If it was a matter of someone aiming for their lives, not just a quarrel, it would be difficult to deal with it like that with a mercenary title.

Because humans who have aimed for their lives once can aim for their lives twice or three times.

So, it was only natural to slaughter all the core members of the White Wolf Mercenary Group,

and of course, it had to be done directly by the Red Fox Mercenary Group to be clean and certain.

But they can’t do that within Pangea.

Since the Management Knights have settled down, acts of murder between mercenaries in large cities are strictly controlled.

So, the Red Fox Mercenary Group coaxed a member of the Management Knights who was in cahoots with the White Wolf and made the White Wolf Mercenary Group flee secretly at the designated time.

After that, they predicted that they would settle in the intermediate zone and chased after them.

“This fucking… fucking… fucking…”

The moment Kyle saw Eugene holding a greatsword stained with blood,

the plan that the Red Fox Mercenary Group had set up was drawn in Kyle’s head as it was.

He was fucked.

It’s not just being fucked, it’s being fucked to the point of losing his life.

So, he froze with a very frightened look.

—Phewuuuuuuuuuut!!!

At that moment, something flew sharply, cutting through the wind.

—Kaaaaaaaang!!

And the target was Eugene Schneider.

Eugene perfectly defended it with his greatsword.

“Pull yourself together, you bastard. Do you want to die like this?”

Cheocheocheok!

It was a dagger thrown by Kyle’s brother, Kasim, the leader of the White Wolf Mercenary Group.

Kasim took a battle stance next to the frozen Kyle and shouted.

‘That bastard’s eyes.’

Seeing Kasim who appeared like that, Eugene’s eyes widened slightly.

‘Red eyes, could it be Sophist’s potion?’

Because Kasim’s eyes were dyed red.

“Kill that bastard!!!!”

—Urrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

With the appearance of the leader, the White Wolf mercenaries, who had been frozen, reorganized their ranks and rushed at Eugene again.

—Puheok! —Peoeok! —Puheoeok!!

“—Keueok!” “—Keoeok!” “—Kkeoeoeok!!”

However, it was not a situation that could be solved with momentum and numbers.

Eugene intended to kill all of the White Wolf Mercenary Group here today, so he had no reason to hide his Sword Expert stats.

Eugene’s greatsword was swung mercilessly,

and it was Eugene Schneider who started a human slaughter show on a dark night through truly overwhelming stats.

“Ssibaaaaaaal!!!”

—Buaaaaaaaak!!

Kyle, who pushed his subordinates’ backs to create an angle to swing his fist somehow, swung his fist with a very frightened face.

“No way.”

—Sseugeoeoeoeoeok!!

“—Kkuaaaaaaaak!!!”

That was only a punch angle that could graze him if the stats difference was considerable.

But Eugene is a Sword Expert,

he immediately reacted and used Mana Step to create distance, then cut off Kyle’s right hand.

“So it’s true.”

—Seuaaaaaaaaak!!!

Kyle’s blood embroidered the space. And from the opposite direction of the angle where the blood was splattered, Sword User Kasim stepped in, stepping on Mana Footwork.

“Sophist said that there seems to be a Sword Expert in the Red Fox Mercenary Group!!”

—Buaaaaaaaak!!

Then he struck down with his sword towards the top of Eugene Schneider’s head.

“Hoo…”

—Papapat!

Eugene’s dodging motion, avoiding Kasim’s attack by rotating half a turn,

“So you were related to Sophist after all?”

—Buuuuuuuung!!

Then he swung a diagonal greatsword swing that was difficult to avoid in Kasim’s action situation.

—Kaaaaaaaang!!!

As a result, Kasim received Eugene’s greatsword with his sword, and

Geugeugeugeuk—Kaaaaaaaang!!!

Kasim’s sword broke without being able to withstand Eugene’s greatsword, which had Sword Expert’s sword energy imbued in it.

“Damn it…!”

Ssik…!

The corners of Kasim’s mouth were raised with a feeling that it was over.

—Puaaaaaaaak!!

After that, Eugene’s follow-up action continued, and his greatsword cut off Kasim’s torso.

“Keueoeoeok!”

—Kudangtangtangtang!!!

However, Eugene did not cut his torso in half, but only cut him enough to incapacitate him.

As a result, Kasim collapsed to the floor with a desperate scream.

Jeobeok, jeobeok, jeobeok,

“Kkeueue… Kulleok! Kuhulleok!”

Eugene slowly approached Kasim, who was lying on the floor spitting blood.

“How did you contact the Sophist guys? And how did you hear about me, Kasim.”

—Cheoeoeok!!

Eugene tried to extract information by holding the tip of his greatsword to Kasim’s neck.

It was a sign that he would kill him more comfortably if he spoke, but if he didn’t, he would cut off his arms and legs first.

“Keukeut…! Sophist. Now it’s connected here and there without me knowing. Moreover, I was a person who tried to devote myself to Sophist.”

Then Kasim muttered, acting important.

It seemed like his life was already over,

and it was just a way to maintain his pretense as a mercenary who was doing well until the end.

“That red eye, as far as I know, it’s made by Sophist’s internal potion? Is it possible to get such a potion just because you have a little connection?”

Then Eugene asked about Sophist’s potion, which was his greatest interest.

“He was definitely a suspicious guy, you. Damn it… I should have listened to those guys a little more.”

Kasim, who had a pipeline inside Sophist, was able to hear about the situation of the last goblin expedition belatedly from them.

However, he realized that Eugene’s size was far beyond the level he was aware of, as Eugene not only knew about Sophist but also mentioned the potion and came in.

“The potion is incomplete. So, there is a need for a test group instead. If it’s me, a Sword User, they would welcome it and give it to me.”

Kasim, who thought that acting important was meaningless, willingly told what he knew.

Sophist is constantly developing potions,

and they are constantly trying to understand how the potion affects the awakened.

Kasim, who knew the inside story, said that it was not difficult to obtain a potion in an incomplete state, as long as he had a deep connection with them.

“Okay. Then I’ll keep my promise.”

Cheoeoeoeok…!

Eugene, who thought he had obtained enough information, raised his greatsword.

—Pueoeoeoeok!!!

Then he cut off Kasim’s neck and took his life.

**********

“The way the mercenary people in the Pangea mercenary residential area look at us has completely changed?”

A few days later, another meeting was held at the warehouse headquarters of the Red Fox Mercenary Group.

The meeting was being held while Jeanne had not yet arrived.

Peter, the medic, was telling stories about the treatment he was receiving directly in the mercenary residential area.

“That’s understandable. We got the plus. The fact that we carried out the Alexandria quest has already spread. Besides, it’s probably being talked about that we are the ones who secretly cleaned up the White Wolf Mercenary Group.”

Ivan, the advisor of the Red Fox Mercenary Group, nodded slowly with his arms crossed, agreeing with Peter’s words.

The Red Fox Mercenary Group, which had a scale of one hundred soldiers, was at the center of the mercenary public opinion in Pangea.

However, it was not just because of topicality, but because of a feeling of caution,

a feeling of having positive vigilance.

In other words, it meant that they could no longer be taken lightly.

Although there is a system and rules, the mercenary world is still a logic of power.

The information that the White Wolf Mercenary Group was annihilated in the intermediate zone quickly spread to the Pangea mercenary residential area, and

experienced mercenaries noticed that it was the work of the Red Fox Mercenary Group.

The Red Fox Mercenary Groups’ skill in clearing out a much larger number of mercenaries,

and even their determination and execution ability had been proven, so the Pangea mercenary groups came to look at the Red Fox Mercenary Group with respect and fear.

“Honestly, I thought we should fill up the numbers and go, but the leader’s calculations are really different, brother.”

Thomas said, sticking his tongue out at Eugene next to him.

The number of people invested in attacking the White Wolf Mercenary Group was exactly three.

It was Eugene, Jeanne, and the elf Priscilla.

If the entire Red Fox Mercenary Group moved, the possibility of noise would increase that much.

“I don’t think they ever thought we would chase them, so they were in a defenseless state. So it ended easier than I thought.”

Eugene skirted around the issue.

In fact, Eugene alone smashed the White Wolf Mercenary Group’s actual forces.

Priscilla guarded the rear in case anyone ran away, and

Jeanne only managed and weeded out additional unit members of the White Wolf Mercenary Group.

‘But, I didn’t think the magic power would be activated?’

After glossing over it like that, Eugene had a slightly puzzled expression.

The reason why only three of them went was to hide Eugene’s Sword Expert stats, and to prepare for the situation when the magic power was activated, in addition to the superficial reason of removing noise.

If the magic power was activated severely, Jeanne and Eugene were planning to have sex quickly.

But even though Eugene had slaughtered about 30 people, he didn’t think the magic power soared as much as he thought.

‘Does another factor other than murder need to be involved more?’

So, for several days, he tried to make his own guesses about it, but he couldn’t come up with an answer with Eugene and Jeanne’s knowledge.

“Oooooh! Already??”

About 30 minutes later, Jeanne arrived at the Red Fox Mercenary Group’s warehouse conference room.

As Jeanne sat at the head seat and explained the reason for being late and why she was presiding over today’s meeting,

Ivan, the advisor of the Red Fox Mercenary Group, couldn’t help but admire her.

“Yes. Another quest request has come in, Advisor.”

Another collaboration quest had come in.

“Where is it, Leader? What kind of place requested a collaboration this time? Is it a mercenary group? Or a noble knight order?”

Sophia, the secular priest, reacted with her eyes sparkling at Jeanne’s words that another money-making plus collaboration quest had come in.

“It’s neither. The people who requested a collaboration with us this time are imperial knight orders.”

Jeanne’s answer to that was very explosive.
