Darian, the leader of the Salgarez mercenary company, felt like he was having a nightmare.
'A punitive force carrying the Emperor's flag? Tumaria has gathered troops at the border. Are they really planning to start a war?'
He knew that since these were troops dispatched directly by the Emperor, they would definitely not be incompetent men.
They might have sent imperial knights, or a commander from a prominent family could have brought troops from a powerful family to further his career.
No matter how skilled the Salgarez mercenary group was, they could not contend with such a force.
And if these imperial troops were sent to the gray area of the border, there was no way Tumaria would let it pass unnoticed.
They would bring more troops and cause trouble. From then on, no one would care about the Salgarez mercenaries.
But how come it's so quiet?
"Captain! The Tumaris are attacking from the north!"
