In the small town at the foot of the mountain, an unbelievable piece of news, coming from a member of the Bronze Shield Mercenary Corps, frightened everyone.
The Black Crow Castle located within the forests has been cleared by the Bronze Shield!
Not only that, the new leader of the Bronze Shield, Violet, has declared that anyone capable is welcome to join the Bronze Shield Mercenary Corps!
A mercenary corps now owning their own castle had seemingly limitless potential, perhaps even evolving into a higher-level, larger mercenary group!
It was time to make a choice, whether to stick with the pauperish corps leader and live a menial life, or follow the castle-owning Bronze Shield towards a lush lifestyle.
In the eyes of most people, the latter was an obvious choice.
Upon hearing the news, the mercenary leaders turned pale and began to closely watch their own men, as though they were their possessions, fearing they would slip away the moment they blinked.
