Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !

Chapter 59 Verdict

Organ glanced quickly at Rodrigo, who was holding an axe, and who was entangled by an apprentice knight at the entrance stage.

"Vie bien..." murmured Organ with emotion-filled eyes.

Then he went mad and rushed towards his two opponents.

A man of such strength who no longer cared about his defense was far more threatening than an apprentice knight at the peak stage.

So it wasn't long before the two men in black changed expression and began to defend themselves as best they could.

Taking advantage of an opportunity when his comrade was attacked, the man at the stage of small success took the opportunity to cut Organ's left arm.

The man smiled, pleased that the old man had finally been seriously wounded, with which he and his comrade should easily be able to finish him off.

Afterwards, they could help their leader and then, like a domino effect, win the battle.

With that, they'd win great military merit and then be heavily rewarded by the Baron!

The two men were already excited just thinking about it.

It's a pity that reality is often quite different from what one might imagine.

Organ bore the pain like a superhuman being and immediately took advantage of the fact that his opponent had poured out his old strength and the new one hadn't yet been generated.

"No! Alexander, help me!"

The apprentice knight was horrified as he saw the sword coming towards him.

Noticing the noise, Rodrigo glanced at Organ.

He saw Organ rush towards his opponent and decapitate him.

But he also saw that the apprentice knight at the entrance stage took the opportunity to plunge his sword into Organ's heart.

"No, no, no...Organ shit! Don't die here!"

Rodrigo had begun to develop a deep relationship with Organ since he'd met her, and they spent an enormous amount of time together.

Rodrigo was even beginning to think of Organ as his paternal grandfather.

He had finally begun to feel what it was like to have a loving family.

Organ also liked Rodrigo a lot, and wondered if he'd built a family, what his life would have been like.

But before Rodrigo's sad eyes, everything came to an end that evening.

The apprentice knight withdrew his sword, and this time Organ couldn't bear it.

He fell weakly to his knees, spitting blood into his throat.

As if sensing something, he used the last of his strength and turned his head towards Rodrigo, less than ten meters away.

He smiled weakly for the last time.

At that moment, the scene was frozen for a moment.

The moonlight faintly illuminated Organ's smiling face.

Then a sword fell swiftly on his neck, and his head flew off.

The apprentice knight had just decapitated Organ.

"NOOOOOONNNNN!"

Rodrigo's distressed cry echoed across the battlefield.

The cry was so loud that Maxime and Laura, who were still some distance from the battlefield, could hear it.

A certain power began to emerge from Rodrigo's body at that moment.

He couldn't guess where it came from, but instinctively he knew how to use it.

His opponent was an apprentice knight at the entry stage.

Indeed, although Rodrigo's physique was below 2 points, he had already proved by facing Organ that he could stand up to an apprentice knight.

Rodrigo dived towards his opponent, wanting to settle the situation quickly and then avenge Organ.

"What an idiot. On other people it might work, but my sword is known to be the fastest under the stage of small success."

His opponent was calm and full of confidence.

He saw Rodrigo's heavy axe coming at him, dodged it easily and counter-attacked.

His sword arrived at the right side of Rodrigo's abdomen.

With Rodrigo's current momentum, it was impossible for him to defend or dodge.

His opponent smiled confidently.

However, a hard sound resounded.

A thick mass of earth had appeared where the sword was to land.

"What kind of magical power is this?"

The apprentice knight was shocked; he'd never seen anything like it in his life.

"Die."

Before he could realize it, Rodrigo's axe was already back and sliced his body in two.

The scene fell before the eyes of many black-clad assailants, mercenaries and soldiers alike.

"Now it's your turn."

Rodrigo rushed towards Organ's murderer with a savage dash, like a bull charging towards its prey.

The apprentice barely had time to counterattack, but just like the previous assailant, his sword was blocked by a mass of earth that appeared at the last moment and out of nowhere.

"Shit, that's cheating."

"Real cheating is putting two on an old person."

Surprisingly, Rodrigo had heard the last murmurs of Organ's murderer and answered him while slicing his body in two.

Blood splashed onto Rodrigo's face, but his expression didn't change at all.

However, a wave of weakness passed through him.

He felt he'd used up all the power that had appeared.

But the fighting didn't stop, as all around him various soldiers and mercenaries continued their relentless battle.

It wasn't long before a new assailant broke free and attacked Rodrigo.

Fortunately, Rodrigo was able to quickly estimate the strength of his new adversary, and it was only at the level of the elite soldier.

By this stage, of the dozen or so opposing apprentice knights initially detected, there were 13, and of the 13, only 8 remained.

Andrew had killed 2 of them and was now facing the last one, but with great difficulty. His face was sweaty and his sword was shaking from the wound in his abdomen.

Organ had killed one and was dead.

Rodrigo managed to kill 2 with his elite soldier's physique.

Ernest and Romuald were each entangled with two apprentice knights.

Henry and Ultia fought a complicated duel with one apprentice knight each.

The last enemy apprentice knight was attacked by Terry, who was lean but had formidable reaction speed, and one of Baron Irut's elite soldiers, who possessed similar physical qualities.

Between them, they managed to rival an apprentice knight.

Time passed quickly, with everyone's wounds getting worse as mercenaries, soldiers and attackers continued to fall to the ground, never to rise again.

Killian was becoming particularly weak in the face of Orac's onslaught.

He had already been wounded at the start by the sudden ambush, and as the fight went on, his wounds were getting worse.

His sword seemed heavier and heavier, and his reactions slower and slower.

If it hadn't been for his iron armor, he'd have been a cold corpse long ago.

Noticing an opportunity, Orac managed to fend off Killian's sword with his right hand, then continued his attack with his left.

Killian noticed Orac's victorious smile and panicked slightly, but there was nothing he could do to stop the sword!

Just then, a thud was heard.

Looking ahead, Orac could see a beautiful young woman with black hair who had just blocked his sword.

Orac stepped back quickly.

He had already lost much of his physical strength over time, so the arrival of a powerful person at this moment made him think about retreating!

Simultaneously, cries were heard on the battlefield.

He looked quickly in the direction of Andrew, Ernest and the other powerful individuals previously blocking his men.

He quickly noticed that the red-haired young man was lying on the ground, but his body was whole, unlike his opponent who had his head separated from his body.

It wasn't just Andrew's opponent, 3 other of his men had fallen in a very short space of time, and now only he and 4 others remained among the apprentice knights.

Terry's and the elite soldier's opponents, Henry and Ultia, now lay in their own blood.

He could see a young man with blond hair coming to the rescue of a blue-haired mercenary who was initially surrounded by 2 apprentice knights at the entry stage and a man at the small success stage.

Surprisingly, these two young men easily repelled his soldiers, so much so that he estimated that in less than a minute, they would all be defeated.

"Chief!"

"Chief, we're all going to die at this rate!"

"Chief, save us!"

"Chief, give the order to retreat!"

The three apprentice knights called out in distress.

They themselves knew that the turn the battlefield was taking was very bad for them.

"The chief and the cheffette have arrived!"

"Great, let's hold the bastards back!"

"Not one of them should leave here alive!"

"Let's teach those bastards who killed our comrades a lesson!"

"Kill Baron Barthon's men! Avenge our dead comrades!"

"Kill Baron Barthon's men! Avenge our fallen comrades!"

"Kill Baron Barthon's men! Avenge our fallen comrades!"

...

Various cries rang out from Maxime and Baron Irut's men.

Orac looked hatefully at Killian.

"You're lucky, you can still keep your head on your shoulders tonight."

"Everyone, retreat!"

The men in black fled immediately after Orac's order.

"You think you're in your own backyard and can come and go as you please?"

"Everyone, don't let them escape!"

Maxime issued his orders with a furious face.

"Yes, sir!"

Since he'd arrived in this world, he'd never lost a single man.

And that night, he lost more than a dozen of them in one fell swoop, including a mercenary with 3-star potential.

When Maxime saw Organ's body, he was particularly furious.

When he had improved his talent, Organ could have had the strength of a knight in the near future!

But now, the man was dead!

And it wasn't just him, Andrew was also badly wounded!

Had he arrived later, the losses might have outweighed the gains of the mission.

But now that he had arrived, these men in black could always dream if they wanted to escape!
