Conquering A Land Of Magic

Chapter 8 - Enemy at the Gates

-hmmm...???

Now that I realize, I did not get experience for killing Magnus, it does not matter, maybe I do not notice.

While I see the other mercenaries escape, I decide to leave them alive, if I kill them all nobody will know that I was the one who killed them.

-Brother Alexander, is it okay to let them go? are not they going to tell the guards?

-No problem I already talked with Angela, Maybe you do not know, but while the mercenary groups do not cause problems within the cities, the nobles do not care if we kill each other, it makes sense, after all, no one with power would like to have within their territories a paramilitary and independent group that only cares about money, if any enemy paid enough could create enormous problems and take a city from within, the only reason why the nobles allow mercenary groups to exist is for them to clean up the surroundings of the cities of monsters and to use them like cannon fodder in times of war.

-I see

-That's why the nobles do not care if we kill each other, that only means less worry for them

After our little talk, I and Kevin decided to return to the city this time in the tank, I want everyone to know that it was me who destroyed the Mercenary Group Cerberus, if someone asks I can say that it is a magic carriage or something similar. While we were leaving, I began to think about "visiting" the base of the Mercenary Group Cerberus, after all the mission has not yet been fulfilled and maybe I should destroy them completely to finish it. While the tank moves away leaving behind a trail of dust when it moves between the trees, I did not notice the bloody person who was rising from the ground and looking in my direction with hatred and some fear

.........

After returning to the base and telling the rest what happened, nobody believed me, it was not until the mercenaries who had fled the battle and that the rumors began to spread that Angela and the others began to believe me.

-*sigh* a deal is a deal so from now on we will work for you

- *nod* -*nod*

while the twins only nodded in response.

...... a week later ......

It's been a week since I ambushed the Mercenary Group Cerberus, and many things happened, first my group was known, but not as I wanted, everyone thinks I won because of the ambush and my "magic carriage" (although it is true) and they think that we are weak because of this nobody was interested in joining me, except for 4 young guys, the strongest of them is an Apprentice fighter and the other 3 are normal people, while in other groups they would be cannon fodder I decided to recruit them and I gave them the rifles that I had in reserve. I gave the Lewis machine gun to Simon, I had thought to buy weapons for Angela, Sara and Daniel, but they say they are fine with their weapons. They also started to hunt outside the city to get money, while I sent the 4 rookies along with Kevin as their leader to hunt, at first they were skeptical that someone much younger than them would lead them but in the end they accepted (actually I hit them until they accepted it) with this I discovered that although I won war points with the enemies that my soldiers kill, I do not gain experience, even so even after discounting the cost of the ammunition the 2 hunting groups won a total of 550 war points.

I also started my plan to transform the base into a fortress, using the money I already had plus the "kind donations" from my colleagues, pay a group of workers and masons to close the windows that face the outside, using stone and leaving only a few small slits to shoot with the rifles, also change the wooden door in the front by an iron door, they removed the back doors and closed them with stone, finally reinforce the walls using thick wooden beams and bricks, we spent everything we had but now the walls are twice as thick and could withstand any attack, at first the others said it was unnecessary, but I had my reasons for doing so, Apart from preparing myself for the future, I had also heard that the remnants of the Mercenary Group Cerberus had suddenly left the city, this added to the fact that I did not complete the mission and that I never received the warning of having killed Magnus, this alerted me and the time gave me the reason why the eighth day, at least 400 mercenaries were waiting outside the base about 200 meters.

-Holy shit!.. we are f.u.c.k.e.d...

[the host is f.u.c.k.e.d~]

I want to make clear how and where the base of the group of the mc is located, the inn that Aedus gives him is outside the city, outside the walls but close,There is an empty area in front of the base of about 300-400 meters where there is a market, on the sides of the inn there are inns, blacksmith shops, bars, etc, the back side faces an alley where the back door used to be, although now it is closed, as I said before. base has three floors with an courtyard of 200 square meters, with a water well in the center and a bas.e.m.e.nt that is used as a food storage, the building is completely made of stone, in the 2 upper floors there are 20 rooms per floor each with space for 2 people (can accommodate 80 people) while on the first floor is the kitchen, the bathrooms, the dining room and at the main entrance the reception with a counter, several armchairs and tables.

the building is about 35-36 meters wide and about 12 meters high, the double wooden door was changed to an iron one, the front windows (the only ones that were) were closed and now it looks like a bunker, the reinforced walls are also those of the front, putting a layer of bricks inside together with wooden beams
