A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 28 Spreading Wings
"New orders, your unit will be transferred to post number three in Kashani Village."

"New orders, your troops are to assemble at Fort Laney."

"New orders..."

A large number of lightly armed messengers delivered one order after another to different troops.

In order to encircle and suppress the young dragon that kept causing trouble in the northwest, all the troops around the city of Saget were mobilized.

A mobilization of this scale is bound to cause some minor confusion.

All these little chaos were noticed by a mercenary.

The mercenary seemed to blend into the surrounding environment. Not far ahead were the soldiers preparing to break camp, but no one noticed the lurker so close.

The mercenary recorded the deployment of the remaining soldiers in the camp before him, and then quietly retreated.

From beginning to end, no one discovered this hidden mercenary.

Following the silver-haired girl's order, the soldier at the checkpoint fell heavily to the ground, with a crossbow arrow stuck in his forehead.

A few hours later, the mercenary appeared beside the silver-haired girl and handed over the information he had recorded.

But rather than saying that he is standing on the ground, it would be more accurate to say that he is now fixed to the ground.

But he was horrified to find that his hands were gradually turning into ice, and then shattered inch by inch starting from his fingertips.

Before the other soldiers could react, more attacks came from the woods not far away: fireballs, light arrows, crossbow arrows... Each attack was precisely distributed to different soldiers.

"My Lord, as you expected, their large-scale mobilization has begun."

Not far away, the priests of the Sun God Cult were already comforting the refugees. Under the influence of the zero-level divine art of "Calm Humanity", the refugees were now emotionally stable and were dismantling checkpoints under the leadership of a priest and using the materials to build a simple refugee camp.

"Then let's begin."

The Shadow Crow mercenaries around her are all Raven Guards. There may be slight differences in the professional strengths among the Raven Guards, but they all have one thing in common, which is that they are proficient in interrogation.

The officer reached into his arms, as if trying to take something out.

A clergyman and mercenaries will stay to protect the refugees and build this into a semi-permanent camp.

The priest took out a crystal that emitted soft sunlight from his arms and crushed it with force.

These refugees are important and they must remain within the territory of Sagat City.

The silver-haired girl took it, glanced at it calmly, and then turned to look at the Sun God priest beside her.

Only if they stay in the city of Sagat can the Sun God Cult have the excuse of protecting its believers and intervene in this area for a longer period of time.

His feet had turned into ice, becoming one with the thin ice on the ground. A silver-haired elf girl stood beside him.

When the refugees let out their first cry of surprise, there was only one officer left standing at the post.

The few Sun God believers among the refugees had been selected by the clergy to assist the mercenary in organizing the refugees and at the same time spread the beliefs of the Sun God in their work.

"I don't really want to do things like interrogation, so I'll leave it to you."

"Notify them that it's about to begin."

The silver-haired girl reached out, took out a transmitter from the officer's arms, and threw it to the mercenary behind her.

"You all know what your goals are, right?"

Except for the two people who stayed behind, the others were divided into two teams of three, gathering around the silver-haired girl, ready to set off.

The mercenaries who had returned from reconnaissance had drawn the locations of the barracks and outposts in Saget City along the way on the map, and attached a simple defense sketch.

Both teams had been assigned their targets without raising any objections.

"Let's get moving. Meet outside the town of Ilek before dusk. If an accident occurs along the way, don't hesitate, fire a flare and then retreat." The two teams nodded in agreement and each ran towards their own mission objectives.

The silver-haired girl watched them disappear below the horizon, then she slowly took a step and walked towards her goal.

The ones she has in her hands are the toughest ones to deal with.

Just as Savrina and the others began to act, beneath the calm surface of the royal capital, undercurrents surged.

"The First Company of Shadow Crows is gathering!"

"The Shadow Crow Mercenaries seem to be preparing for a major operation!"

"Vice-Captain Brian of Shadow Crow appeared in the capital."

The spies from various forces in the royal capital welcomed a busy day, as pieces of intelligence were delivered to their masters' desks one after another.

One after another, inquiries from these forces were sent to the Shadow Crow Mercenaries.

"Haha, look at what he's talking about. Please explain your behavior. With all that stuff they have, don't you think you deserve it?"

Brian tore up a letter of inquiry in his hand and looked at a man beside him who was wearing the uniform of the Shadow Crow Mercenaries.

"You said so, Master Acolyte."

The man next to him, wearing the uniform of the Shadow Crow Mercenaries, is actually an acolyte of the Cult of the Sun.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Head, we really didn't expect that you would make such a big fuss."

The deacon looked down and couldn't help but speak.

Below, Shadow Crow's mercenaries were gathering. Nearly two hundred people formed two square formations and were waiting for orders.

"The entire 'Dalian' was mobilized. In the capital alone, personnel from two 'wings' were deployed."

The official force of the Shadow Crow Mercenary Group consists of three 'companies', each of which has about a thousand people and is divided into ten 'wings'.

"With such a high-profile intervention, are you really going to abandon Shadow Crow's tradition?"

Shadow Crow is a neutral force. Since the founding of the kingdom, they have carefully maintained their position and have never participated in any struggle between royal families.

The church was well aware of this, so all they asked was to disguise two hundred church clergymen as Shadow Crows and enter the city of Sagat.

But what no one expected was that Shadow Crow's Grand Commander wanted a comprehensive joint operation.

"Tradition. If the rest of the kingdom still followed tradition at all, things wouldn't be like this now."

Brian seemed very dissatisfied with some people in the kingdom, and it was obvious that most members of the Shadow Crow Mercenaries had similar ideas.

During today's negotiations with the Shadow Crow Mercenaries, the deacon noticed that several Shadow Crows attending the meeting expressed similar sentiments to a greater or lesser extent.

"How can we make the kingdom strong with those insects?"

This is what they meant implicitly in their words.

"Everyone should know what we are going to do, right?"

Brian took a step forward and asked the Shadow Crows below.

What responded to him was silence from below. This was the Shadow Crows, and silence was their main theme. But in this silence, the deacon could feel a power brewing.

A smile appeared on Brian's face.

"That's it. As the deputy commander of Shadow Crow and the captain of the first company, I order you to spread your wings."
