"Shinbela, what are these people here for?" Anfey asked in a low pitch, as he looked at the swordswomen in the arena.
"Master, didn't you hear about it? I thought I had told you about it," Shinbela answered in surprise.
"Did you tell me about it? When?" Anfey asked.
"Few days ago. Lord Christian…" Shinbela tried to explain.
"Oh, Christian." Anfey immediately remembered when Shinbela mentioned Christian. Christian told Anfey that he felt it was not convenient for Alice to have male mercenaries as her safeguards. Suzanna and Shinbela could not be with her all the time, so Christian was thinking of forming a personal safeguard team with all women. Anfey thought Christian would pick some women from the League of Mercenaries, which was why he did not put those unfamiliar swordswomen together with Alice's safeguards. He paused for a second and asked, "Where are those swordswomen from?"
"Master, there have been a lot of mercenaries who came to us for help over the past few days. These women were the best of them all," Shinbela said.
"A lot of mercenaries? It is just the beginning," Anthony said with a smile. "No one knows better about how those mercenaries think than I. The Country of Mercenaries used to be under the control of four super mercenary groups. They collaborated, but also fought with each other, which left some room for medium or small sized mercenary groups to survive in gaps.
However, it is different than during old times. Smart people could tell that joining the League of Mercenaries was actually their only option. They knew that, the earlier they could join, the more benefits they could get. They knew they either could join the League of Mercenaries or leave the Country of Mercenaries."
Anfey nodded. He got what Anthony meant. Anfey asked, "Shinbela, are you thinking of forming a safeguard squad with those swordswomen for Alice? You must be kidding me."
"I have talked about this with Master Alice. We know neither about those swordswomen's backgrounds, nor the reasons they wanted to join the League of Mercenaries. If we ask them to be Alice's safeguards, there might be trouble down the road," Shibela said.
"I am glad you see that," Anfey said slowly. "What did Alice say about it?"
"Master Alice said she had an idea about what to do," Shinbela said.
"What does she mean?" Anfey asked with a frown.
"Master, I do not know," Shibela said.
"Ok, I will go and ask her later." Anfey went silent for a while and asked, "Shinbela, do you know the woman who always gives you trouble?"
"Master, do you suspect her?" Shinbela asked.
"No, usually, spies know they need to keep a low profile, to not attract others' attentions. Women like her, who make trouble everywhere, could not be spies," Anfey said.
"Master, you are right," Shinbela said in a low pitch, "I know her. Her name is Midof. She used to be the mander of the Mars mercenary group. We had some conflicts when we were on assignments. We even had a physical fight. She is a senior swordswoman, pretty powerful, but she was at a disadvantage in a few fights with me. It was because…" Shinbela suddenly stopped before she could finish her sentence. Her face turned a little pale.
Anfey patted Shinbela's shoulder. He knew what Shinbela was going to say. Back then, Manlyn was still alive. When Shinbela and Manlyn fought together, Midof was not a match for them. It looked like Shinbela had healed yet. "Isn't Mars a powerful name for a woman's mercenary group?" Anfey changed the topic.
"Hahaha… it is nothing unusual," Anthony said with a smile. "The weaker the mercenary group was, the more superior the name they gave themselves. Names like, "Dominator
