Chapter 102 – Lure (1)
The difficulty of attaining a perfect rating for the quest was harder than Brendel imagined. He initially thought that he simply needed to protect what was left of the Grey Wolves Mercenaries, but it seemed like he needed to wipe out every single enemy that was in his path.
[The reports from the Grey Wolves Mercenaries stated there are over a hundred Lizardmen Bandits, but the walkthrough states otherwise.
Lizardmen mob – Over a thousand.
Disciples of the Black Flames – Over two hundred with the average strength of Iron-ranked fighters.
Paper Cards – Over seventy with the same average strength as the disciples.
Hewjil – The peak strength of a Silver-ranked fighter.
Conrad – Gold-ranked fighter.
“At this point of time in this battlefield, I am certain that no one here has the capabilities to steal victory away from my hands. You can jot down my words, commander. I will lead them to victory.”
The Elven commander took a long time to respond: “To be honest, I do not understand what you mean by ‘the future might welcome that era again’, do you mean to say that the Dragon of Darkness is going to return to this continent again?”
“No, that is entirely another matter, I meant that there will be capable people emerging in the future.”
“How do you know of this, human? Can you see the future?”
Brendel’s voice was stuck in his throat. He hesitated for a while before replying: “It’s not foresight but intuition. When the future comes I’ll return to this place and tell you what had happened in the world if you don’t believe me—”
Brendel did not know why he said all these words. Perhaps there were too many secrets in his heart which he kept away for too long. After all, the Elven commander was a spirit that could not leave this place.
The Elven commander looked at him for a while and gave an emotionless smile: “My name is Nalaethar.”
“I’m Brendel.”
“I shall wait to see that victory you claim will happen.”
[This bastard doesn’t believe me at all.]
“As you wish.” Brendel said through grinding teeth.
