Mercenary Wars

Chapter 62 Son of an Angel
The sky was overcast.

In the military tent, Viscount Yuris's mood was just like the weather, gloomy and depressed.

In order to prepare for the next round of attack, he had not had a good rest for many days. His chin was covered with messy stubble that was not taken care of, and he looked completely devoid of aristocratic demeanor.

Even so, he was not confident about the outcome of the next round of attack.

The shadow of possible failure of the war hovered in his mind, making him feel more suffocated than the dark clouds in the sky.

Until Baron Tyrosus hurried into the military tent: "Lord Yuris, we have found a loophole in the magic rejection circle!"

Upon hearing the news, Yuris was stunned for a second, then he remembered that he had not had much hope for this attempt.

He jumped up from his seat, an expression of incredible surprise on his face. He hugged Baron Tyrosus's arm and said in a trembling voice, "Did you really... find it?"

"Yes, sir, Keith has already brought people in!" Baron Tyrosus said excitedly.

"Hahahaha—" Viscount Yuris laughed heartily, shaking his fist uncontrollably. "I knew Moza was on our side. Those unclean people who blasphemed the doctrine will eventually be punished!"

Then he patted Baron Tyrosus's shoulder heavily and said, "My brother, don't worry. I will consult with Bishop Glemen and His Majesty Louis. You will receive the reward you deserve, including everything I promised you before!"

Baron Tyrosus: "It's my pleasure."

Viscount Juris nodded, his face still radiating excitement. He then walked out of the tent and said with great enthusiasm, "Soldiers, Tyrosus and Kes have found a loophole in the magic-rejecting circle. Now follow me to Prestor Castle. You will witness the new Earl Prestor!"

"For the glory of Moza!" he shouted, raising his sword.

"For the glory of Moza!" The soldiers shouted slogans excitedly. At this moment they had no doubt about their justice and victory.

Viscount Yuris was of course also very excited.

But in his heart, besides excitement, some doubts flashed through his mind.

Arriving at the castle, you will look down upon the Son of Angels... This prophecy, which Juris regarded as Mosa's will, once gave him tremendous motivation and anxiety, prompting him to launch an attack on Prestor Castle.

But to this day, Yuris still doesn't know what the so-called "Son of Angel" is, nor how he will look down on the Son of Angel.

"Anyway, the answer will be revealed soon, and God will bless me!" With this thought in mind, Viscount Yuris led his soldiers and set off.

……

On the other side, underground.

"Corpse Explosion" is a second-level spell, and its power is already quite strong. In addition, Orange Merchant is fat and his corpse is very heavy, which immediately caused the hole that Keith and others had just dug to collapse.

After all, humans are not shark lizards. It will take at least half a minute to dig the hole open again.

Half a minute is enough for the black market team to escape.

Orange Merchant was unwelcome, but there was no doubt that he did receive sincere thanks from his teammates at this time. As to whether he knew it or not, that was another matter.

The black market team rushed all the way, passing through caves and dungeons.

"Who are they? Why did they come out from underground and why did they attack us?" Bist asked his questions while running.

The Forbidden Books Merchant's face was solemn. "It's obviously Yuris's people. They found a loophole in the magic circle that prevents magic."

"A loophole in the magic circle that denies this?"

The Forbidden Bookseller said, "Any magic circle has loopholes like this, but they're usually extremely hidden, like somewhere underground. Yuris must have been lucky; he actually found it!"

Grocer: "So Yuris will win this war?"

Strong medicine expert: "I'm afraid so."

The banned bookseller said, "This is really bad news. Uris is a supporter of the Dato's Law. If the 'Purists' take over Prestor Castle, I'm afraid I'll have to leave! To them, a banned book is more sinful than 500 pounds of poisonous lampwort leaves!"

"Taff?" Bister suddenly exclaimed in surprise. At this moment, everyone noticed that Gao Jianuo had been running faster and faster since some point, even surpassing the thief Bister, leaving behind a gust of wind.

Then he jumped at the exit, jumped to the gap in the rock wall, and got out in a blink of an eye.

The four of them looked at each other.

"Let's find a place to hide," the drastic medicine expert suggested. "Prestor Castle is about to go into chaos."

"That's right!" Several people nodded.

After all, they are just black market traders doing business, and they just need to hide and protect themselves.

But Gao Jianuo has a lot to consider.

As a member of the Grey Eagle Mercenary Group, he must go and alert the defenders as soon as possible.

So, with the help of the swift breeze, Gao Jianuo quickly ran back to the ground and headed straight for the castle.

at the same time.

A woman's screams echoed in a room in Prestor Castle.

"Moza, forgive me—"

"Lena, hold on!" The sweaty blond man held Lena's hand. "I've sent someone to the wounded camp to find Delan. She'll be here soon!"

"Ah!" Lena's face turned pale and she screamed miserably.

Meanwhile, several midwives were working hard to deliver her baby, while two nuns used magic to ease her pain.

But this didn't seem to have any effect. Lena was still screaming, and her voice inexplicably revealed fear. The air was filled with a strong smell of sweat and blood.

Cassandra and several female soldiers were on guard nearby.

Cassandra remained silent, leaning on her greatsword.

Several female guards were talking in low voices.

"Is this how all births are?"

"My aunt's situation is similar, but she lives in the countryside after all, without a nun who knows magic around her. How could Ms. Lena..."

"what--"

At this moment, Lena's scream suddenly dropped after passing an extremely sharp high pitch, and then became intermittent and quickly weakened.

She held her husband's hand tightly, tears of despair overflowing from her eyes: "I'm sorry..."

"What?" The blond man didn't hear clearly, let alone understand, so he quickly listened.

"I..." Lena wanted to say something, but her eyes quickly dimmed, and then her body relaxed and she became motionless.

At this moment, a midwife exclaimed in surprise: "It's born, a son! It's Earl Prestor!"

As she spoke, she picked up a baby covered in blood.

Unlike most newborn babies, this baby has smooth and white skin, big eyes, and even the blood all over his body cannot hide the cuteness of his face.

What’s even more strange is that he doesn’t cry at all.

He just looked at the strange world curiously.
