Book 5: Chapter 34
This castle truly is built with only defence in mind. The hall interior wasn’t as magnificent as the royal palace. They used fire-torches for lighting.
I watched the mercenaries in front of me laughing happily as they pulled their swords out from the troop’s bodies. I kept Freya close by to ensure our safety and thereby didn’t charge in first.
The first group of people to charge over screaming were shot down.
Only then did I go over, bringing with me the remaining mercenaries as we killed our way through.
All of the troops were eliminated, and we had lost half of the mercenaries, too.
The mercenaries charged towards the interior of the castle like madmen. They tied up the crying maids and servants before tossing them into the hall.
I ignored them. They can do as they please. I did tell them not to hurt the innocent.
It looks like the maids can’t compare to gold and items worth money.
I climbed the stairs as fast as I could. I don’t know where Nier is, but I should be right about the Pope’s location.
