"He is Lund's daughter, Jena."
Before she could answer, a mercenary who had surrendered spoke up.
"Oh, Jena, what a nice name."
The swordsman slowly looked at the girl, a smile on his face.
"I never thought that a man as sharp as a sword like Lund would have such a lovely daughter."
"Would you like to come to our side too? Considering your age and the fact that you are Longde's daughter, I can make the decision on behalf of Lord Xuete and give you 200 extraordinary gold coins directly."
“And it’s given on the spot.”
He offered generous terms, drawing envy from those around him. This was exactly what the swordsman wanted to see; he was using this envy to lower the girl's resistance. As long as the daughter of Lund came, wouldn't her father betray her? Of course, they would come together.
Using 200 gold coins to get Longd to join willingly is a great deal. Even if I go back to explain to Lord Xuete, he will praise me instead of scolding me.
At this time, there were not many people still standing in the courtyard and had not left, only about 100 people. These people were all loyal followers of Longde, and were also brothers who had traveled all over the country for many years.
They were unwilling to betray Lund and join the enemy camp, but it was also not easy for them to kill those teammates who were greedy for money. After all, they were all fellow villagers and familiar people.
At this moment, they also turned their attention to the chief's daughter. If she also joined the enemy camp, Lord Longde would inevitably accept Xuet's recruitment.
Being stared at by everyone, Jenna felt a little nervous, then she spoke slowly.
"But I refuse."
The girl's youthful voice echoed in the quiet courtyard.
Jenna is not an ordinary mercenary. After seeing this vast world and learning a lot of history, her knowledge and insights make her clearly aware of the consequences of her promise.
Once she joined, her father would inevitably be involved and would become an accomplice of Lord Xuete in the future, just like the thugs she had seen on her journey, torturing others and slowly becoming a pest in the fields.
Once the true nature of many things is seen, it is difficult for outsiders to deceive with sweet words.
These mercenaries thought they were just changing their masters and getting more money.
But at this moment, Jenna knew that they had embarked on a path of aiding and abetting evil and had become vicious dogs with bared fangs.
After all, mercenaries are in a profession that is driven by money. They don't have any beliefs, so asking them to pursue so-called morality is really a luxury.
Seeing the girl's firm refusal, the people in the courtyard finally calmed down a bit, no longer wavering as they had been a while ago. The swordsman sitting in front of the gate slowly put away his smile.
"It seems that the young lady is still too young and hasn't thought carefully about the benefits of this."
Seeing that the number of people in the courtyard was no longer decreasing, the swordsman slowly stood up from his chair and rubbed his fingers, making a clicking sound.
"Since Miss Jenna is so determined, we have no choice but to use some tough measures." He raised his hand, and mercenaries holding halberds came forward one by one.
These men wore armor that covered their faces, and heavy mail beneath their red and yellow robes.
"Don't hurt this young lady, go ahead."
He waved his hand, and the group rushed directly into the courtyard. The dense friction of armor sounded in the yard, followed by the sound of metal clashing.
Although there were only a few of these warriors wielding halberds, only about 60 of them, each of them was an elite warrior of around Sequence 2. Under their attack, everyone in the yard quickly suffered casualties.
The heavy halberd hit the opponent's shoulder, splitting the opponent's shoulder armor directly, breaking the bone, splashing blood, and staining the cloth on the body red. Then there was a slap, hitting the opponent's helmet, killing or knocking him unconscious.
Under the order of the swordsman in the rear, these elite halberd soldiers showed some mercy, and would not finish off the enemy if they lost their fighting ability. After all, they still wanted to recruit Longde, so they didn't want to kill him too hard.
Of course, it is not possible to let everyone in the courtyard go, otherwise Longde will definitely run away. Only by capturing them all can we use them as a bargaining chip to recruit Longde.
When the battle in the courtyard started, Jenna also drew her knife.
The long sword with delicate snow patterns reflected a dazzling white light in the sunlight, and then the blade flew, forming silver lines in the air along with the girl's figure, directly cutting off many halberds and stabbing and injuring many opponents.
Seeing his men starting to suffer casualties, the swordsman stopped standing and drew his sword to meet the enemy.
The long, narrow and heavy sword swept through the air, slashing directly towards the opposite side with an arc. Jenna wanted to turn around to avoid it, but she didn't expect that the long sword in her hand suddenly started to move non-stop, causing her to slow down her posture, and finally she had to take the blow head-on.
The force transmitted from the blade made Jenna's hand numb, and then the action of retracting the sword almost made the long sword in Jenna's hand slip out of her hand.
If there is someone here who is familiar with this swordsman, they might be able to explain the reason, because the extraordinary job he practiced is War Sequence 5: Magnetic Swordsman, and his extraordinary job has the ability to manipulate magnetism.
This type of combat class is very useful in low-sequence environments, as most opponents' weapons are made of metal, which are more or less magnetic. With this manipulation, either attraction or repulsion, it is very easy to expose the opponent's flaws and then kill them with a single strike.
"Hey, girl, the long sword in your hand is not simple." The swordsman took a closer look at the tiny gap on his sword and looked at the snow-silver long sword in Jenna's hand.
"Can you tell me the name of this knife?"
"Mountain dove." Jenna uttered these words slowly, looking at the enemy in front of her with serious eyes.
This long sword and the 'Gray Dove' in Bumansa's hand were made by the same master. Both were kept in Emenas and later distributed as rewards for the competition.
Although her current Transcendent class was superior to everyone else at Sequence 3, and she could easily deal with ordinary Sequence 4s with the help of her long sword, victory against this Sequence 5 was very difficult. After all, geniuses like Roland Hill and Bumansha were extremely rare.
Looks like we need to prepare to escape.
Jenna began to look around with her peripheral vision, but her movements became more aggressive. She brandished an extremely sharp straight-blade sword and rushed directly towards the opposite side.
Facing the daughter of Lund, the swordsman could not just attack and kill her casually. He slightly deflected the oncoming long sword, then used magnetism to guide the long sword, constantly maneuvering around, consuming the opponent's physical strength, and prepared to capture her when she was exhausted.
The two men turned back and forth in the courtyard, their swords clashing and sparks flashing.
