In the following days, Nathan monitored the situation while instructing Colin to recruit mercenaries secretly. Shadow Widow and her team did not disappoint Nathan, as they quickly recruited a group of new bounty hunters. These guys had all carried out missions in vampire-occupied territories and had a wealth of combat experience. Nathan instructed Colin to organize the thirty thousand mercenaries into three legions of ten thousand each, named the Hydra Brigade, the Tiger Brigade, and the Rose Brigade. The Hydra Brigade was led by Colin, the Tiger Brigade by Myron, and the Rose Brigade by Shadow Widow. Nathan already had two strong subordinates, who were Colin and Sevan. Nathan also had the Elite Eight and the Seven Champions of the North as the backbone.
Now, with the addition of thirty thousand capable soldiers, he instantly had a formidable army at his disposal. One day, Nathan held a meeting with the war gods from the alliance as usual. The meeting had just begun when Wolfric, with an impatient expression, stood up and shouted, “Nathan, today is already the last day of the deadline! Where are the thirty thousand soldiers you promised to deploy? Up until just now, on my way to the meeting, I haven't heard about the Eurasia army arriving. Are you playing tricks?”
Nathan smiled and said, “Patience, Mr. Welz. When I said I would commit thirty thousand capable soldiers, I naturally meant it.”
Wolfric scoffed. “I do respect you a lot, but if you can't fulfill your promise today with thirty thousand soldiers showing up before everyone, I'm afraid you might have to give up your position as the commander.”
Nathan chuckled. “Actually, the soldiers had arrived in Salinsburgh last night. Now, they are all geared up and ready to go.”
What?
Upon hearing this, Wolfric and the others were greatly surprised.
Even Leopold and Eugene IV, who had good relationships with Nathan, began feeling suspicious.
Why didn't we know Eurasia's army had already arrived?
A look of astonishment flashed across Wolfric's face, followed by his loud voice saying, “No way. Absolutely no way! I've always had people keeping an eye on it. If the Eurasia army arrives, I'll definitely receive the news. You must be lying!”
Nathan could not help but laugh. “Why do I need to deceive everyone?”
