Summon of The Sword novel Chapter 1698

After a pause, the leader of the mercenary regiment continued saying, "Going the long way is the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army, Sean Lennon, his subordinate, Zander, and several city defense soldiers."

"So we..."

The person nearby asked, but they already knew the answer.

Their leader had said they might not be able to catch up with Shania, who took the shortcut, if they went after her.

They had a good chance of catching up with Sean and Zander, who took the long way.

Even if they caught up with Shania, so what?

Shania was only the mayor's daughter, not the mayor of Dorodo. Even if they captured or killed her, it would not be of much use.

Sean was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. He was accompanied by the chiliarch, Zander.

In this case, Sean and Zander were worth much more than Shania, who was likely out of reach now.

"Let's go after Sean and Zander! We must catch or kill them. That way, Dorodo will be in chaos!"

The leader of the mercenary regiment snapped before whipping the horse and chasing after Sean and the rest in the distance.

100 members of the mercenary regiment followed. Thick clouds of smoke instantly rose on the narrow road.

Sean was behind Zander and all the city defense soldiers.

The reason he was in the back rather than in the front was he could detect where the mercenary regiment was and how far they were from him and others. If the enemy attacked with arrows, he could also help the city defense soldiers to fend off the enemy. That would prevent the loss of city defense soldiers.

After all, the ten city defense soldiers and five personal guards had their role to play. They could not die.

"Commander, what's next?"

Zander asked.

It was because Zander had noticed the stray mercenary regiment chasing up from behind.

Watching hundreds of people chasing up, Zander was unafraid, but the city defense soldiers and personal guards in front of him showed fear.
