Jagoan looked at the third survivor.
Before he could ask, the mercenary said quickly in tears, “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything… We’re mercenaries from Crosac. We’re from Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment. Our leader…”
“You’re lying…” Jagoan cut him off.
Crosac’s three major mercenary regiments were named after flowers.
They’re Black Gold Flower, Hibiscus, and Edelweiss.
Poetic as it might sound, these three major mercenary regiments had made a reputation for themselves in the City-State Union.
Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment had been disbanded.
The remaining Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment and Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment had their characteristics, each mercenary of Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment had a hibiscus tattoo on the back of their left hand, and each mercenary of Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment carried a mercenary dagger with an Edelweiss carving.
However, the mercenary in front of him had neither of those things. He was only lying.
He and his companions were not mercenaries of Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment!
Jagoan walked over, his saber dripping with red blood.
“I’m not lying… I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. We’re not from Crosac’s Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment. We’re…”
With the knife’s glimmer, another bloody head flew far away.
“You’re the last one. I think you know what to do…” Jagoan said, looking at the last survivor.
With three of his companions’ terrible deaths, the mercenary’s heart almost stopped.
Hearing Jagoan’s question, he immediately answered, “We’re from Black Tooth Mercenary Regiment, a stray mercenary regiment of about 100 men. I don’t know why we ambushed you because our leader only ordered us to do so. Our leader says we’ll get a generous reward if we kill you…”
Jagoan nodded and asked, “Has your leader been meeting with anyone not from your mercenary regiment lately?”
Before the mercenary could finish speaking, Jagoan walked over with his saber.
A businessman from Raphael City?
“What businessman?” Jagoan asked.
