What else could there be that hasn’t been announced?

Even the Prince and the Grand Duke themselves probably had no idea about the current situation in the southeast region. Looking at so many mercenaries discussing the matter, Sean realized that he, a nobleman, was probably the only one present who knew the situation best.

The people who ran back at that time said that they encountered a goat man, and it was this goat man who continued to cause chaos in the city, but the news did not mention that the goat man would turn the town into ruins.

"Based on my years of experience, I have concluded that this mission is definitely not as easy as we imagined. I advise you to go back directly and wait until the Black Feather Knights have news before deciding whether to continue. Or you can go to the nearest cities and wait. After all, it will be safer than here!" Lucard didn't say much and directly persuaded all the mercenaries present to go back.

When I saw Rugal a few days ago, I thought he, as the best of the mercenaries, would lead us all in a fight. Who would have thought he'd be heading home so soon? Too cowardly.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this method is more like a real mercenary... The Orderer is level 9, which is high, but not high either. In a big city like Lietis, Sean has only been there for half a month and has already seen many people above level 10.

To survive in a city like that, and as a mercenary, being able to survive is a skill in itself.

Even if the level is high, just go and send it if you don’t know the situation.

Although the world looked like a game from my perspective, reality was not a game. If I died, I wouldn't be able to respawn in the temple or revive my corpse.

If you don't do it, you will die...The one who survives to the end is the real boss.

"So we just give up like that?"

"It's better than losing your life in the end." Lucard said.

There was no sign of lying in the status above his head, which meant that the other party really wanted to leave.

Sean subconsciously glanced at the female thief. She didn't show any other signs of distress, only a hint of "sleepy!" and "what a shame!"

"But we've already spent so much money. Our team even bought a lot of scrolls from the alchemists in the city in order to survive the fog. It cost us so much money."

The leader on the other side said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes!"

"We gave up a lot of good missions for this mission."

In reality, everyone present had a certain degree of respect for a high-ranking mercenary like Rugal. He couldn't tell how popular they were with him, but at least those with high prestige among mercenaries were respected. So, many people would subconsciously listen to what he said...

It’s easy to give up, it’s just a matter of words.

But I don’t know if I can really give up the balance in my heart. It’s similar to the mentality of a gambler.

Having already spent so much to get here, and now the Tacoma area is so close, people are giving up. Even curiosity would drive them to take a look. Sean didn't deny that he had the same mentality. Besides, Frelia and her troops should have arrived long ago.

"That's up to you to decide. My team is going back anyway. If you're willing to stay with them, that's fine, but your safety has nothing to do with me. The promise I made won't count after you leave the team." Lucard said to the team members behind him.

"I know Lord Rugal is thinking of us, but we have our own concerns. Returning like this would be too much of a loss for us. We've already prepared so many items, and the Black Feather Knights are still ahead. We just need to be careful and we won't be in too much danger. And I heard that the Red Dragon Witch from the Sky-Covering Wings has also come to Tacoma City this time."

The captain of another mercenary team continued to speak, and he had to say so.

Otherwise, the negative emotions will infect others and everyone will start to back down. Someone must stand up and say "OK," "Let's go together," and then someone of a higher rank than Lucard must be put on the sidelines.

"It's up to you guys. Anyway, I'm going to a nearby city to wait for news." Lucard shook his head indifferently.

But it was late tonight, and it would be uncomfortable to wade through the wetlands at this time. He could only follow everyone and rest here temporarily until dawn before leaving... Sean paid a little attention to the female thief who had been silent. He remembered that she was not so quiet when they met last time.

The other party didn't recognize him and just stayed with his teammates...

The issue of whether the mercenary team should stay or go was discussed until late at night. Even his own team was somewhat influenced by Rucard and began to discuss whether to continue or disband on the spot. Ordinary mercenaries like Jonathan did not have the capital that Rucard had. If they gave up, they could only find a nearby city to continue the mission, so he advocated continuing. As for the alchemist, he came here with a purpose, so of course he would continue.

The only two who wanted to leave were Luster and Lawrence, and Feng of course insisted on continuing.

Mercenary teams are all cooperative, so if everyone agrees to terminate the relationship, there will be no further action, especially in this special situation...

If the two want to leave, they can go back with Lucard tomorrow. As for tonight, this is all we can discuss.

Until very late, the mercenary group's bonfire was still burning.

Sean looked at the time, seeing only five hours left before daylight, and decided to rest up. If not many people continued tomorrow, perhaps he should consider going to a nearby city and wait for news...
