Chapter 135: The Subjugation of Beltus (9)
“Most of the monsters in the west have already been eliminated. The mercenaries dispersed and nearly all the key points have been recovered. It’s a relief that Lady Denise doesn’t seem to be seriously injured.”
“Oh, Orel…!”
“Please be careful, Lady Denise. The members who went to scout around the mansion have already returned with their report. It was this man who subdued young master Robenalt, who was guarding the magic tower in the east. There is a high possibility that he’s related in some way to the chaos spreading through Beltus territory.”
Captain Orel was a man with good instincts.
Even in this chaos-covered situation, he instinctively knew that Dereck was not an ally.
He shook his sword once and then straightened, fixing a cold gaze on Dereck.
Orel was an older man, but he could not be treated as a washed-up veteran. His right arm stood out with muscle, and his belt, strapped to his thigh, was adorned with all kinds of adventuring gear.
Although he had been assigned as an escort in the noble house for a long time, it was clear that he continued training so as not to lose his combat edge.
As the leader of the largest mercenary group in the southwest of the continent, Orel’s maturity could not be ignored, regardless of his age.
