The Broken Fang is the na of their rcenary Group.
Although there are Hunter and Arcanist Associations in the Dukedom, the most popular organization is still the rcenary Guild
The Guild doesn't mind whether you are a mber of the two Associations as long as you have a clean record in the dukedom.
Unfortunately, this is unlike the other Associations as there would be no benefits in ranking up in the organization.
There wouldn't be any free access to top-secret information, top-grade materials, Arcana, or Magic Items There is only fa as a benefit when completing tasks from the Guild and a chance to attract so individuals within the Dukedom.
However, this is the best platform for many strong talents since most of them can easily earn money through hunting beasts in the vast forests.
What they need is fa to be recognized by the peak experts After all, these peak experts were said to be the creator of this Guild
Now, the latest mission provided to all rcenary companies is to participate in the war and eliminate the people who have betrayed their forefathers
Stella's rcenary group arrived at the guild's branch within the fortress to confirm their participation
Their group has a total of 15 mbers and is not that small considering that the large companies would only have 40 to 50 mbers with them
After all, they sought quality rather than quantity
Holt is the one who handled their entry to the kingdom and also asked about the details.
"Do we have to wait for the soldiers to bring us there? We have horses with us, can we just go directly to our allied camps in Selsmire?"
Selsmire is the na of the captured fortress that was supposedly being guarded by the Greiner Family
However, since the family has already turned to their side, it was easily captured through their help.
They even managed to kill several powerful knights that are still loyal to the current King.
"Yes You can do what you want as long as you get there. You just have to prove your identity as part of the guild to Vice General Carsley"
The man working as a receptionist answered There has been a lot of squads or companies passing here to participate in the war. Although there would be carriages going back and forth to the captured territory, it would be best if these people would have their own transportation to avoid delay so they already start cleaning up the armies of the kingdom.
"This place is not heavily fortified There are barely any soldiers Did they send all available soldiers there already?"
"Yes The vice general seems to be quite active."
"Hmph Are they not afraid that this place would be attacked?"
"Don't worry about that, there wouldn't be anyone capable of bypassing the vice general's net"
The receptionist said proudly as if he knows the man himself. Nevertheless, Captain Holt just wanted to confirm why this place looks fragile He could even imagine that five mbers of their group could easily capture this fortress if they want to.
Nevertheless, their group decided to use their horses to tread the path of the kingdom.
"Make sure that you have all the supplies We'll leave the place after an hour You can buy so things here in the anti and we'll et at the eastern gate."
"Yes, Captain!"
The mber of their group scattered as they have also seen various interesting items being sold by the rchants They want to see whether there's sothing that could aim them in the upcoming war.
"Stella Are you going to visit the weapon shop? I can go with you We can also have a al before we depart Our food in the camp wouldn't be as tasty once we went to war We should enjoy it now."
Ilphas quickly stepped forward and invited Stella. She's already 17 years old with a charming figure It was easy for her to attract the males in this Dukedom
Aside from that, she also has black hair compared to the people here that were mostly blond hair. It is so easy to notice her with her current image
"I'm sorry, I have plans with Lyrei"
Stella coldly replied as she went away together with the elf.
This female elf was the one who invited her to join the rcenary group. She had only gone through a couple of missions with them and this war is her third mission.
Throughout the years that she's been here, she just established her identity as a sword practitioner and worked as a Hunter for a living.
Although she has plenty of money, she didn't imdiately attempt to pay for the summoning ritual to be recognized as an Arcanist.
Instead, she first made an arrangent in which no one would know whether she was able to summon an arcana or not until she registered to the association.
It wasn't easy and was also a lot more expensive but it was worth it
His master doesn't want the others to know that he could help soone summon an Arcana. After all, it would be a huge concern to all the countries of the world if that was leaked.
So her actions weren't in vain as her Vambrace Arcana can now be considered as summoned through the Duchy's Paid Ceremony.
"Lyrei We are talking about the Sentient Arcana before but we're interrupted by that guy Can we continue it now?"
"Of course, Stella Should we have a drink first?"
"Great I saw a good place before"
They left the Guild's Branch as many eyes followed their back. However, they just ignored it and proceeded outside.
The female elf wasn't soone that anyone would like to ss with. They know that they could only stare from afar
"By the way, why are you so interested in Sentient Arcana? Have you t one?"
Lyrei asked. The woman was a head taller than Stella and wearing leather armor fitted to her body. It is definitely an Enhanced Equipnt based on the aura it exudes.
"Yes You can say that" Stella answered. It is within her expectations to be asked about that. However, she wouldn't say anything more other than that.
Luckily, Lyrei understood this and wasn't offended.
"I see Since you are still alive, then it must be on the good side You are lucky."
"Huh?"
"It's just like what I said. You are lucky If you t a Cursed Arcana, you wouldn't be here."
"I-Is that so? I heard that Cursed Arcana are dangerous. But are they also sentient?"
"Yes A genuine Cursed Arcana has sentience Although there are other non-sentient Arcana that were given such title, it was because of how the others had mistaken them due to their ignorance They thought that all destructive Arcana are cursed or sothing"
Lyrei explained as they arrived at the small restaurant being run by a lady in her thirties They took a glance at the nu and ordered sothing that looks delicious before continuing with their conversation.
Stella understood what Lyrei was trying to say, it is similar to how the superstitious people treated the weapons of the Cult as an Evil Weapon even though it was only used by bad people They should still be considered as Arcana and not sothing evil.
"I guess you're right I'm really lucky to have t that Sentient Arcana However, why are they not harassing people, unlike the Cursed Arcana? Right, is it normal for them to take the blood of other living beings?"
"Huh? I'm not sure I've only t a single sentient Arcana It is an Arcana of our Chief in the village"
Stella perked up after hearing that she also t one. She imdiately felt so close with her after hearing this After all, in the past couple of years that she's been here, she had never t anyone with any knowledge about Sentient Arcana.
"Whoa~ What was it like?"
"Mhmm It is a crown and always worn by our village chief. It could even speak to by using only our minds It's quite magical now that I'm recalling this" Lyrei said as she had a lancholic expression on her face. She must've missed her village already.
"Do you think those sentient Arcana are previous people of this world? After all, they have a very independent behavior, right?"
Lyrei pondered for a mont before answering.
"I didn't really think of it that much but I heard that they have Arcane World where other Arcana like them have co from They also talked about the Deities However, only the chief knows more than that? I only heard it on passing. If you want, I can take you to our village if we have so ti"
"What? That's amazing! I'll look forward to it!"
Stella was visibly happy after getting such an invitation. It is not easy to visit the village of any Elven tribe.
Ti quickly passed as they traveled to the kingdom's territory
It has been a while since she left the kingdom and she's hoping that her village is still safe and sound She also wanted to see her uncle for a bit and show off her current strength
Unfortunately, their journey to the Selsmire Fortress wasn't as peaceful as they thought it was.
