The Mercenary Queen Strikes Back (Lily Hastings) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150

Nova’s voice, cool and full agger, rang in the air as she made a hold move that no one saw coming

The mercenaries stationed by the entrance all stiffened up, their hearts skipping a bea

The mercenary who got kicked flying by Nova was left with his mind reeling, totally dazed.

“Return? The word echoed in the minds of the mercenajes, uncertainty flashing across their faces.

Block” For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

Why does this girl’s way of speaking remind me so much of someone?’ one mercenary wondered, a chill creeping down his back.

Could it be…? The thought struck, sending his heart racing.

Am I just imagining things?’ he questioned himself, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling.

Within the Bloodblade Mercenary Corps, the members are split into several ranks-third, fourth, and even fifth tier squads.

At the very top, no question about it, stood the King of Mercenaries himself: Bloodforge.

Following him were his four trusted deputies-Ghost-Hammer, Snowfang, Yellowcat, and Parromerri

Parromerri had left the Bloodblade Mercenary Corps a year ago, setting off to roam the world and toughen herself up, and she still hadn’t returned.

Besides them, there were also a few old-timers in the Bloodblade Mercenary Corps.

These veterans had joined the corps later on, bringing with them years of battlefield experience and some of the most crucial combat techniques.

While their rank in Bloodblade wasn’t as high as Ghost-Hammer, Snowfang, Yellowcat, and Parromerri,

each led their own squad, and when it came to influence and power among their followers, they were on par with those foar.

Below them were the subordinates of Ghost-Hammer and the others.

Dorken, for instance, used to serve under Yellowcat.

This group was the very core of the Bloodblade Mercenary Corps.

After the core members, the rest of Bloodblade was sorted into three main ranks, from highest to lowest-

Elite Mercenaries, Regular Mercenaries, and Rookie Mercenaries.

The guys guarding this spot? They were just rookies from the Bloodblade Corps.

But compared to Madan and his gang from the guild, these Bloodblade rookies were honestly in a league of their own.

Even if you put all five of Madan’s crew together, they wouldn’t even last ten moves against a single Bloodblade rookie That’s because Bloodblade’s standards for recruiting rookies are ridiculously high

Every single second slipping away was costing Ghost-Hammer precious life.

So, while the Bloodblade rookies were completely knocked off their game by Novas overwhelming presence and they frantically dug through their memories–was there ever anyone called Nova Blake in the corps?

Nova had already darted past the guard line and disappeared into the depths of the canyon.

In a flash, not even a shadow of her was left.

“What now? Should we intercept her?” The mercenary Nova had sent flying struggled to his feet, clutching his chest where he’d been kicked, heart still thumping, face set dead serious.

His gaze locked onto Nova’s fading silhouette, eyes sharp and wary.

Cokie

“Don’t chase her. If she’s someone big, we’ll be the ones in trouble,” another rookie said quickly.

Rookies like them were basically nobodies in the corps-nobody cared what happened to them.

Tick off the wrong person and they could wind up dead before they even knew what hit them.

Just from that one kick, they could tell she wasn’t some random nobody-she had to be a big deal internationally,

“What if she really is one of the top brass in our corps?’ one rookie worried, cold sweat running down his back.

‘If we fail to recognize her and mess around, that’s pretty much asking to die!’ another thought, his heart racing.

“So what now?” The mercenary Nova sent flying rubbed his chest, brows drawn tight with worry.

“But, if she’s just a random nobody and we still let her stroll into the canyon, wouldn’t we be in deep trouble anyway?”

One of the other rookies quickly piped up, thinking on his feet..

“Let’s just radio the higher-ups and say we tried, but this girl slipped past us before we could stop her.”

“On it!”

The rookies kept their voices low, barely above a whisper.

Madan, the Shepherd, Maria, Jake, and the rest couldn’t hear a thing.

All they caught was Nova’s one-liner and a glimpse of her disappearing into the canyon like it was not a big deal.

And, shockingly, the Bloodblade rookies just started whispering among themselves-none of them even tried to give chase. “They really let her in?!” Maria exclaimed, rolling her eyes in shock.

She’d been dead sure Nova would never get past the guards, but now all she could do was gawk, absolutely gobsmacked “Seriously? Just saying some random stuff and she actually managed to slip through?” Jake stammered, blown away. He’d honestly thought Nova was just bluffing with a bunch of clever talk, somehow sneaking her way inside.

“Listen up, you little brats–don’t get cocky just yet. And seriously, don’t even think about pulling a stunt like that,” warned one of the veteran union mercs, idly stroking his yellow beard and narrowing those cumming old eyes.

The old mercenary gave a dismissive snort. “She walks be there, huh? Good nick with that?

Madan’s brow furrowed as he replayed every move Nova had made. Without meaning to, he blunted one in front o everyone, “Why does she move and talk exactly like Bloodforge-the one I idolize?
