Dragon Order of Flame

Volume 2

Chapter 6 Part 4

Just as Luke had thought, a mercenary affiliate was mixed in within the group of thieves. His name was Zaire Negurson, and he had received their trust. As a mercenary, he had roamed many battlefields, until around 4 years ago, where he got captured by the Batlan bandits during a subjugation quest. In order to live, he used scheming words in order to become part of their organization.

After he had joined their group, the Batlan bandits had become much better in every aspect. He had put up a series of configurations in order to enhance their strength, and also utilized a standard army's tactics in order to mitigate the amount of damage they received during battle.

Not only that, but Zaire also helped them become wealthier, and the amount of personnel dying in battle had decreased. That's why no one rejected the idea of Zaire becoming the co-leader of the organization.

With a s.h.a.ggy beard and a body filled with bulging muscles, the leader of the Batlan bandits, Batlan mumbled.

"Hmm. Viscount Nadal seems to be on something. To think that he would hire 50 mercenaries."

"That's what I'm saying."

Zaire nodded his head. He looked to be as if he was in his mid-20's, and he had fiery red hair with blue eyes. However, the shape of his eyes was thin, so it was difficult to tell what color his eyes were unless it was seen from up close.

"If Crosson was there, we would have been able to give them more damage. What a pity. It would have been nice if we were able to kill Viscount Nadal's mage, but it's become quite problematic now."

Zaire clicked his tongue and mumbled to himself as he stood at the entrance to the mountain. Crosson was a mage for the Baltlan bandits, until about 2 months ago. He was a mercenary affiliate himself, so he wasn't able to use high leveled magic. However, there was a big difference to a group if they had a mage or not. About 2 months ago, he had ended up dying in battle, and the Batlan bandits were now without a mage.

Batlan spoke.

"There are way too many knights around so there's nothing we can do. Quite a high number of them at that. I don't think me, you, and Kutan will be an opponent for them."

The Batlan bandits were just a gang of thieves, so they only had 3 pract.i.tioners of gangchesul. Batlan had come from a fallen warrior family, and he had taught 2 people how to use gangchesul. The first being his favored co-leader Zaire, and the second being his general, Orc Kutan.

Zaire sighed.

"That's why we need to get rid of as many of their squads as we can, while they are on their way over here. Our expenses may be a bit high this time."

"Nothing we can do about it. We've made a lot 'til now, so we can't be too stingy and end up suffering a huge loss. And, just from killing the knights and selling off their armor, we should be able to make that money back."

If a knight was to where a full set of heavy armor, it could be sold at around 30-40,000 reb. That's why, if they were to kill the knights and sell their armor, it would be a sufficient amount of income for the bandits.

Zaire smiled.

"If we can, we should kill them without damaging the armors, but that might be a bit difficult."

The subjugation party coming for them was much bigger than their organization, yet the two people did not show any signs of fear. It was because they had fought with plenty of other subjugation parties, so they were confident that they could win this battle as well.

Once Zaire understood the topography, he pointed at a poorly drawn portion of the map and let out an evil laugh.

"Those guys will have slowly made it to the second point now. I'm really looking forward to seeing their face expressions as they get scared out of their own wits."
