"Our diplomatic convoy was attacked on our way here. A mercenary regiment of at least 100 men ambushed us. To protect the mayor's daughter—Ms. Shania, the city defense army's commander-in-chief—Sean, and the chiliarch—Commander Zander, led their men to use themselves as bait to distract the mercenary regiment. It's how we got here."
Uriah said grimly and slowly.
"What... What about Mr. Lennon?"
Lisha panicked as she hurridly grabbed Uriah's arm and asked.
Uriah was mildly surprised that the woman in front of him would care so much about Sean's whereabouts.
'Does she know Sean?'
Shania rubbed her eyes as she stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lennon... Mr. Lennon... Mr. Lennon's probably..."
Shania could not continue speaking halfway through her sentence.
Uriah let out a long sigh and said, "100 mercenaries armed with weapons attacked us. Commander Lennon and Commander Zander are probably..."
As if struck by lightning, Lisha was dumbstruck for a while.
The team that was supposed to play music and welcome them lowered their heads slightly to mourn.
"How... How did this happen..."
Lisha's voice trembled as she sobbed.
Flynn walked over and said, "I'm sorry for your loss, Miss."
Just then, a ceremonial team member suddenly shouted, "Look! Someone's coming!"
Hearing this, everyone looked up quickly.
Then they saw a dozen soldiers in military uniform riding over on horses. It was none other than Sean and Zander leading them!
Sean was alive!
Not only was Sean alive, but Zander was also all right. None of the ten city defense soldiers and five personal guards were dead either!
