“I heard that the two female beastkins in the castle are very beautiful,” The knight who had finished peeing said. “What do you say we…” He soon felt that something was wrong and immediately stopped speaking.
“You two, don't hide and come out. Today is not a day for pranks.” The knight said in a low voice.
Silence. No one responded, making the knight instantly think about wolf beastkins, which his friends had mentioned earlier. Wolf beastkins were extremely strong and they were known for killing human male ruthlessly.
“Hmph. How could there be wolf beastkins? The king’s royal knight squad had already exterminated them. How can they rise from the dead?” The knight mumbled, trying to comfort himself. “Those two bastards must be trying to pull a prank on me, just like last time.”
The knight felt someone tap his shoulder, which made his body tremble. He then breathed a sigh of relief. “You guys are so bored pulling pranks during a mission. If the leader learns about this, then…” He turned his head while speaking and was greeted with a pair of cold eyes. His eyes widened, and before he could say anything, the person blocked his mouth and stabbed his heart. The knight's pupils shrink and after struggling for a while, he becomes weak and the darkness swallows his vision.
“You’re not someone worthy enough to think about Lady Mina and Lady Annie.” No. 6 said as he disposed of the body and disappeared in the darkness.
"Whoosh Whoosh."
Two arrows were shot, with one piercing a person’s throat and the other piercing his open mouth and opening a hole in his head.
Just five meters away from the dead knight, his companion reacted and opened his mouth to shout, but before he could…
"Whoosh Whoosh."
Two more arrows flew out from the shadows, and this knight followed his companion’s footsteps.
“Tch. This is so easy. Are they really knights? How come they feel even worse than the soldiers in training?” No. 8 said as he put the recurve bow on his back. He scanned the surroundings and slowly walked out of the shadows.
No. 7 walked out from behind him and said, “They’re too arrogant. They think that they can do whatever they want to City Lord. One of them was even spying on City Lord in the morning.” He had seen someone sneakily staring at Lucas during the daytime and hadn’t expected them to come so fast.
“How could they possibly know what City Lord is capable of?” No. 8 said indifferently, if he said that he was a hunter and it only took him more than ten days to become like this then no one would believe him. All he did was train according to what Lucas had said and with his experience as a hunter. He now felt that he could easily solo four or five knights. He could easily solo ten if he included the powerful equipment and solo more than a dozen if he was in a favorable environment.
…
As time passed, more and more figures fell down without making a single sound. The War Wolves met up and talked in low voices.
“I Killed three.” Chris said, raising three fingers.
“One.” No. 3 said.
“Two.” No. 6 said.
…
They added the numbers up and found that they had killed 12 knights, meaning that four knights were left.
“There are still four people left. They should be by the castle wall already and will soon enter the castle.” No. 2 said.
“We don’t need to go there. That’s the area that Lady Mina takes care of. We’ll just waste time if we go there.” Chris said, shaking his head. He shook the blood off his military knife and sheathed it on his thigh.
They had been abused by Mina a few times and knew how strong she was compared to them. After Mina had learned special tactics of assassination, it got even worse as they got knocked unconscious without even seeing her.
“That was boring. They’re so weak that they didn’t even react before they were killed. It’s like they were chickens.” No. 3 said with a little dissatisfaction.
“Shut up. The enemies weren’t weak. We just became stronger. Arrogant soldiers will definitely lose. Did you forget the lesson from last time?” Chris reprimanded.
The soldiers lowered their heads. The previous lesson was a disgrace for the War Wolves.
“Clean up the ground. These people still have some good things on them. We’ll use them to exchange for some military credits. I just need a few more credits to exchange for a military knife.” No. 5 said, with a smile on his face.
Lucas had made a reward system with military credits. He put up some military supplies that were extra and anyone could buy them using military credits. As long as you have enough military credits, you can exchange them.
Whenever soldiers needed to go on a mission, they went to the logistics to get the equipment, and after the mission they returned the equipment to the logistics. But the item they get by military credits. They would get to keep it forever. Even after their retirement from the military.
Of course, important and confidential equipment like crossbows weren’t exchangeable.
“Military knife? Which one are you interested in?” No. 4 asked. “The ones available to be exchanged are all first generation Wolf Teeth, which we all used before. They’re much worse than the ones we’re currently using.” They were currently using the second generation of Wolf Teeth, which were produced by the Department of Scientific Research in the best way they could. The War Wolves were the only people that were using these weapons. They were named Wolf Teeth because they were cool and resembled wolf teeth. The military gave priority to the War Wolves for the equipment. Many other soldiers hadn’t even touched a military knife.
They craved Mina’s military knife the most since they heard that she had the best military knife. Unfortunately for them though, they could only get it in their dreams. Men, especially the soldiers, are obsessed with cold weapons like swords and knives after all.
“Well, I want to get the military knife that I first used as a souvenir and use it to tell my children my story in the future.” No. 5 said with a warm smile on his face.
"Then I’ll get mine as well. My knife seems to have a cut in the blade.” No. 6 said.
“What do you guys think of the retirement plans that City Lord talked about?” No. 8 asked.
Lucas had told them that anyone that was seriously injured and disabled or had at least served ten years in the military would be discharged from the army and the City Lord’s Mansion would cover their employment.
“You guys are already thinking about retirement?” No. 7 asked. He felt that he could serve in the army for at least 20 more years.
“Who the hell’s thinking of retirement?” No. 5 said. “Anyone that retires is an idiot. I want to be a soldier for the City Lord for the rest of my life.”
“Exactly. I don’t care about what others say. I’m not retiring from the army. I don’t care about the ten year retirement rule. Whoever retires is a coward.” Chris said angrily, he thought that it was necessary to remember the goodness and kindness of the city lord. It was the city lord who gave them a well-fed life.
