Jagoan looked at the third survivor.
Before he could ask, the mercenary said quickly in tears, “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything… We’re mercenaries from Crosac. We’re from Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment. Our leader…”
“You’re lying…” Jagoan cut him off.
Crosac’s three major mercenary regiments were named after flowers.
They’re Black Gold Flower, Hibiscus, and Edelweiss.
Poetic as it might sound, these three major mercenary regiments had made a reputation for themselves in the City-State Union.
Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment had been disbanded.
The remaining Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment and Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment had their characteristics, each mercenary of Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment had a hibiscus tattoo on the back of their left hand, and each mercenary of Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment carried a mercenary dagger with an Edelweiss carving.
However, the mercenary in front of him had neither of those things. He was only lying.
He and his companions were not mercenaries of Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment!
Jagoan walked over, his saber dripping with red blood.
“I’m not lying… I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. We’re not from Crosac’s Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment. We’re…”
With the knife’s glimmer, another bloody head flew far away.
“You’re the last one. I think you know what to do…” Jagoan said, looking at the last survivor.
With three of his companions’ terrible deaths, the mercenary’s heart almost stopped.
He was ghastly pale as he trembled, unable to stop.
Hearing Jagoan’s question, he immediately answered, “We’re from Black Tooth Mercenary Regiment, a stray mercenary regiment of about 100 men. I don’t know why we ambushed you because our leader only ordered us to do so. Our leader says we’ll get a generous reward if we kill you…”
Jagoan nodded and asked, “Has your leader been meeting with anyone not from your mercenary regiment lately?”
“Well… Well, I don’t think so…”
Before the mercenary could finish speaking, Jagoan walked over with his saber.
The mercenary was instantly spooked.
He quickly said, “I don’t know. I’m just a humble mercenary. How would I know who our leader meets… Oh… Oh yes! I think our leader met with a businessman from Raphael City yesterday morning. Not long after they met, he ordered us to come here and ambush you…”
A businessman from Raphael City?
“What businessman?” Jagoan asked.
“I have no idea. I was peeing when I saw the businessman sneak into our mercenary regiment camp and talk with our leader in the tent for a while before sneaking away again. I know nothing else… After all that I’ve said, please let me go. I’ll never be a mercenary again. I swear…”
Jagoan pondered for a moment before saying with a nod, “Okay, I believe you.”
The mercenary was instantly overjoyed when he heard that. He felt he had a chance to live.
However, his head was separated from his body the next moment. The still-smiling head rolled off into the distance after hitting the ground.
“Commander, did someone from Raphael City order them to ambush us?” Jagoan asked with a frown after putting away the saber.
He had no idea that Raphael City was involved.
Jagoan thought about it for a moment before saying, “You can’t believe everything he says, but maybe it’s not out of nowhere. Indeed, Raphael City isn’t on good terms with Dorodo. Besides, Raphael City tried to make a small profit through weapons dealers, but we ruined it.”
