Miss Rabbit pondered for a full five days, but the result was still unfruitful.
At most, she thought of mixing the mercenaries with her own guards into a squad, which could reduce some casualties, but there would be problems with command and deployment.
Those mercenaries were no fools; they would surely run away if the situation turned unfavorable, and to save their own lives, they wouldn't mind betraying their comrades.
Hence, Pablo preferred to venture into the swamp alone rather than join those mercenaries.
Ireya had a hard time calming the hot-tempered knight and hadn't let him go off on a suicidal mission on his own.
But Ireya couldn't muster the manpower that Pablo requested.
With the precedent set by the previous squad, very few guards were willing to join the team this time, and most of them were older. Some even had difficulty moving, making Miss Rabbit wonder if they were simply after the pension.
