While Baron Nodehill kept the envoy locked away, Ghislain quickly sent word to Leo.

The moment Leo received the message, he wasted no time in mobilizing his troops and heading for Nodehill.

Leo wasn’t foolish. Upon hearing the details, he could immediately anticipate what was coming.

Once Count Crest defeated Count Swipel, his next move would be to consolidate his power.

And his first target? It would undoubtedly be Leo himself, thanks to the gold mines on Raks territory.

Likewise, Nodehill, as Raks’ ally, would also be swept up in Crest’s ambitions.

Rather than waiting to be attacked, Leo saw it as better to join forces and fight now.@@novelbin@@

“Hurry! Let’s go faster!”

Though Leo personally led his troops, he had no intention of commanding them. He knew full well that he lacked any military talent.

His plan was to hand full control over to Ghislain as soon as he arrived.

“Please, brother, you have to win this.”

All he could do was place his trust in Ghislain and pray for victory.

When Leo arrived with his troops, Andrew greeted him warmly.

“Thank you so much! Having you here gives me great courage!”

“Ah, no, well… I’m just here to help however I can.”

“Hahaha! I’ve decided to leave it all to them as well.”

Andrew’s boisterous demeanor stood in stark contrast to Leo’s cautious one. Yet both men shared the same deep trust in the Julien Mercenary Corps.
