There was nothing much to be said after that.
The Players who had come to support the newbie cast a series of skills at the city watch soldiers who dared to spout nonsense.
In the end, the city watch soldiers were sent to Xi Wei by a sky full of ultimate skills before they could even hold on for half the battle. Most of the Players who didn't get the chance to show off in front of the newbies felt it was a pity, and were even tempted to revive their dead enemies for another round of beatings.
It was a pity that resurrection spells only worked on Players …
Meanwhile, the noblewoman was left dumbstruck. She was born into a noble family and was more knowledgeable than most people, but when had she ever seen such a scene where people were directly wiped out with all sorts of special effects?
When it came to special effects, not even the cruel and violent battlefields of this world would be as cool as the Players' fight.
"I'm sorry, uncle. We couldn't send them safely back to Codo Bosra …"
Simba and the others had found Mufasa by then, and said dejectedly, "Their family seems to have been wiped out by the mayor of Codo Bosra."
"It's not your fault. It's good enough that you could do this." Mufasa naturally didn't blame the children, having learned the gist of the matter from Simba's SOS. He patted their heads one by one, and said, "It's better to say that you weren't blindly arrogant. You were able to recognize your own weakness and ask for our help. Moreover, you didn't give up even after suffering some setbacks. It proves that I have a good eye and didn't misjudge you. "
While Simba still couldn't get over it, Zazu and Nana smiled happily at being acknowledged.
The noblewoman hesitated for a moment when she saw Mufasa, the murderer of Baron Nigelania.
But that was when Marni arrived before her.
"Greetings, my lady." Marni bowed graciously in a noble's greeting.
"You know me?" The noblewoman panicked at once. She had been hiding her true identity from start to finish to protect her daughter, Gwendolyn, the heir to Lancaster City.
If someone could really recognize him, then the situation would obviously become bad.
Although her personal maids had grasped a certain level of swordsmanship, their so-called swordsmanship was nothing compared to the all-encompassing magic and divine arts that not even a mouse could escape from!
With just a few women, there was no way for them to take the initiative in front of so many experts.
"I'm Marni Wilf. We've met once at a banquet for the nobility in Lancaster." Marni smiled and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Of course, my lady might not recognize a nobody like me."
"I don't think someone who can command the Sacred Army is a 'nobody'." The noblewoman tried her best to calm herself down and pretended to talk to the other party calmly. At the very least, she could not show her cowardice.
Indeed, from her point of view, the Players who had gathered so many powerful magic and divine arts clearly weren't an ordinary organization.
There weren't any particularly powerful mercenary groups in the Valla Empire, and the assortment of equipment the Players were wearing clearly didn't resemble a noble's private army or the royal army of another city. If that was the case, the only explanation was the Sacred Army.
Most of the Sacred Army had a unified uniform just like the royal army, but there were some churches that promoted the individuality of their believers (such as Grimund, the God of Travel and Arts whom the bards believed in), which kept their Sacred Army from having a uniform uniform.
Although she couldn't tell who ranked among the Players right away, it was clear that Marni was someone important even if he wasn't a commander since he could speak on behalf of the others.
"The Sacred Army, huh …"
Marni had wanted to deny the Sacred Army by reflex, but when he thought about it, she wasn't wrong from a certain point of view.
The Players who fought everywhere for the God of Games could definitely count as the Sacred Army of the God of Games, although they didn't have a specific designation or a fixed organization.
"Leaving that aside for now, why did you choose Codo Bosra instead of Lancaster?"
Hence, Marni simply changed the topic and brushed off the question.
The noblewoman thought to herself, 'Of course I'm afraid that you'll raise the price once you know who Gwendolyn and I really are.'
Still, she definitely couldn't say that now.
"I just miss my hometown a little and want to go back for a look. Can't I?"
"Of course." Marni nodded. There was no telling if he believed her excuse, and he simply said nonchalantly, "If that's the case, we'll escort you back to Lancaster if you don't mind."
Of course I mind!
The noblewoman almost blurted out.
But in the end, she suppressed her impulse.
It was true that it was dangerous outside, and there was no guarantee that they could return to Lancaster safely without the Players' help.
What's more, even if he said that, the other party might not let them go back.
Hence, the Players led the noblewoman and the others back to Lancaster in a grandiose manner.
It was the first time the Players showed themselves to the nobles of a city.
Still, it was a choice made after much discussion among the veterans. After all, Lancaster was becoming more chaotic by the day, and the Players couldn't keep hiding in the sewers. Since they would show themselves sooner or later, they might as well seize the moment. At the very least, they had a psychological advantage as the 'good Samaritans' who escorted the noblewoman and Gwendolyn back to Lancaster.
Moreover, as long as they didn't reveal their identity as believers of the God of Games, they could definitely show some of their martial prowess and support Marni who was making a living as a merchant in Lancaster.
After seeing a hundred or so strong men, anyone who wanted to bully Marni would have to consider if they could survive their vengeance.
At first, the noblewoman had assumed that her rather eccentric guild would have a standoff with the weird Sacred Army for days, but that was not the case. Mayor Corinne of Lancaster, who had always lived in seclusion, had even left his residence to greet them outside the city gates when he received the letter from the scouts, leaving the noblewoman a little overwhelmed by the favor.
However, she soon realized that her eunuch was more interested in the weird Sacred Corps than her and Gwendolyn's safety.
Especially after a blonde girl with a ponytail holding a flagpole appeared in the Sacred Army, the mayor's father-in-law's behavior became even stranger. Looking at his expressionless old face, there was even a rare complex expression of guilt, agitation, and a little apprehension mixed together.
After that, the merchant who called himself Marni Wilf, the unidentified blonde girl holding the flagpole, and Mayor Corinne had a long private discussion in the study of the mayor's residence. It was only then that Mayor Corinne personally saw them off and stood by the door, watching them leave for a long time before returning to his house.
And the outcome of the discussion was the message that the Players saw.
