Chapter 30: Opponents and Rewards
The plaza was packed with people by the time Hex made it back to the platform. Their group was complete.
Hex looked around and immediately noticed four other groups close to the platform.
"Let me give you a quick intro to each team you see." Vitor stood beside Hex and noticed his gaze.
He pointed at a group clad in dark green leather armor with an emblem of a bird. The bird was depicted with sharp talons and its wings spread wide open.
The men had short hair and seemed all lean and muscular. The girls had shoulder length hair and looked lean. Especially the girl standing just behind the Knights. Her long legs and curvy figure was accentuated in the armor she was wearing.
"Those are the Northern Hawks. They are under the banner of the northern commander. They will be tough. They have a few Squires with two Blessings. And do you see that girl with those long legs at the front? She is Althea Thunderhawk. Rumors have it that she has already acquired her third Blessing."
This information stunned Hex. He was confident in dealing with Squires who had one or two blessings. But an army girl with three Blessings would not be easy to deal with.
'And that's just one group of opponents,' he thought wryly.
He turned towards the other group. They were easily recognizable. Their blue robes with silver linings were seen everywhere on the plaza.
"The Merchant Union's Silver Serpents," Vitor continued to explain. "They are a bit weaker in terms of raw power but their strength lies in the endless potions and high quality equipment they have. Fighting them is hard and depressing."
"There is even a tale that the silver haired boy at the front once sold his opponents weapons and potions whilst fighting them. Not only did he still win, his opponents owed him large amounts of coins."
