The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Chapter 473

The remaining 10,000 troops of the Fenris Mobile Corps arrived at the battlefield. They replaced their exhausted comrades, organizing the scene and securing the prisoners.

Among the reinforcements were a few priests who began tending to the wounded, their bodies weary but their resolve unbroken.

Ghislain summoned the knights who had led the charge in the battle, personally commending their efforts. Of the Fenris Knight Order, roughly 200 had participated in this operation.

“Well done, all of you,” Ghislain praised. “Rest well today. Tomorrow, we march again.”

One of the knights, Gordon, raised his hand enthusiastically.

“Where are we heading next? Another battle?”

“It’s too late to move directly to another battlefield,” Ghislain replied. “First, we’ll meet with the kingdom’s commander-in-chief and reorganize our forces. Then, we’ll rendezvous with the Northern Army.”

“Dark,” Ghislain called out. “The lords have likely regrouped their forces to form defensive lines. They won’t expect us to be here yet. Find where their troops are gathering.”

― Got it.

Dark sped ahead to scout the area. The mobile corps, slowed by the prisoners they escorted, moved at a measured pace.

Meanwhile, Maurice had successfully escaped and was rallying allied forces with nearby lords to establish a defensive position.

The assembled force numbered only around 8,000 but had entrenched themselves in a fortress, preparing to hold their ground.

Maurice, addressing his troops, raised his fist high and shouted, “Our numbers may be fewer than the advancing Delphine forces, but with the blessings of the goddess, we have Saintess Parniel of the Moriana Church on our side!”

“Waaaargh!”
