The mercenaries of the Continental Mercenary Corps were in a mess.
Mainly because this time, in addition to the three major mercenary clans, there were also those second-tier mercenary corps that came out to stir up the muddy waters. Because the other mercenaries wouldn't let them rule as they wished, they knew that once the three major mercenaries' clans defeated the Continental Mercenaries, a new round of reshuffling would occur in the Land of Mercenaries.
So, while the three major mercenary clans fought the Continental Mercenaries head-on, they were attacked by those second-tier mercenaries from behind.
There were many second-tier mercenaries trying to sneak up behind them in the battle.
The entire capital city was in a smoky mess, the civilians were plunged into the deep water and many of them packed their valuables early and left the city.
It was much like hell, at least until the next ruler took over.
