Commander Ozzic did not fool around . His order was short but made sense . The mages on the mage tower had already seen the signal, but they did not do anything about it . Ye stood at the exit of Moramatch with over a dozen of mercenaries . They did not stop anyone coming in, but no one was allowed to get out . The new mercenaries were under Ozzic’s control as well . Motley crews were asked to go back to their tents under Ozzic’s order . Only those loyal to Ozzic were in charge of everything .

When everything was set up, Ozzic walked next to Anfey and said quietly, "Lady Alice is in a meeting now, Master . Manlyn should be there too . Do you want to go over there now?"

Anfey shook his head . "No, I need go to see someone first . "

"Who are you going to see?" Ozzic asked .

"A woman named Shinbella . How is the security at the jail? Can you get us inside?" Anfey said slowly .

"Well…" Ozzic looked like he did not know how to answer the question . "Master, it is pretty hard to take you to the jail . Except for those loyal to Manlyn, no one else can even get close to the jail . Master, can you think of a different plan, or at least we need have a detailed plan . "

Anfey shook his head . "I do not need to think anything up . As long as you can show us where the jail is, I can handle the rest . " He was not worried at all, since he was a lot stronger than his opponent . He went quiet for a while . He did not think about how to handle Manlyn, but with the bow in his hand . He had grown attached to it, like it was part of him . It seemed like the bow had feelings as well . He suddenly remembered the day when he applied extra force to pull the bow and his finger was cut by the bowstring . His blood had soaked into the bowstring . At that time, when Anfey saw Suzanna was caught by Slanbrea, he was too angry and worried that he did not pay attention to the bow . He had not practiced archery since then, so he only noticed the changes now .

"Let’s give it a try," Ozzic said, scratching his head, "but, Master, you should be ready for the fight, since you might come into conflict with them at any time . "

"Sure," Anfey said . "Suzanna, can you wear your senior swordswoman badge?" Anfey put on his earl badge as well . Suddenly he looked quite different . He walked with pride . He looked arrogant and frivolous, a total makeover of a wealthy playboy . Anfey’s act should get great reviews . The way he looked and behaved without saying anything totally showed a wealthy playboy .

After passing a street corner ahead of them, they were officially in Moramatch . They saw more mercenaries as they walked further into the city . Those mercenaries stopped when they saw Anfey and his group . Only a few of them looked excited, since they recognized Anfey . Most mercenaries whispered to each other, trying to guess who Anfey was, or they just stopped walking to take a look at Anfey and his group .

"Is the jail behind that fence?" Anfey asked quietly .

"Yes," Ozzic answered, looking around nervously . They were getting close to the foot of the mountain, which had the highest security under Manlyn’s order . There were a few mercenaries from Jagged Rose mercenary group, but the badges Anfey and Suzanna wore tricked many people . In the Country of Mercenaries, there were not many earls . Mercenaries could have money, powers and fighting ability, but would not be accepted as royalty . There were not many senior swordsmen either . Few senior swordsmen enjoyed fame in the Country of Mercenaries . No one wanted to have conflict with a mysterious and powerful fighter, so they all stepped back into the shadows, even though they had just been walking around like they owned the place .

"Not many guards here . " His unusual vision was very convenient for Anfey . Ozzic was only able to see as far as the fence, while Anfey already knew how many people were patrolling inside the fence .

"I do not know . I have never been here before," Ozzic said .

As they talked, they had approached the fence . There was a crack in the wooden door in the front . Three mercenaries walked out . They acted like they did not see Ozzic . They all laid their eyes on Anfey . They sensed something different about Anfey . Mercenaries travelled a lot and were pretty knowledgeable . They saw many people like Anfey in big cities . They could only stay away from them, trying not to have any conflict with them, otherwise they would find themselves in trouble .

"Master, this is a restricted place . You…" a guard said .

Anfey looked beyond those mercenaries, and looked absentmindedly up at the sky . He hooked his finger to signal Suzanna to come over . Suzanna acted like the most obedient maid, walking one step forward and tossing a handful of gold coins at the guards . Anfey said sluggishly, "This is your reward . You are welcome . Open the door and let us in . "

The guards stared, wide-eyed, not at gold coins, but at Suzanna . They had seen senior swordsmen . Their two commanders were influential top powers, but they had never seen them ordering a senor swordswomen like a maid . They had seen nothing like this .

"Master, without the permission from Master Manlyn, no outsider is allowed in," a mercenary said politely .

"Oh?" Anfey finally laid his eyes on those mercenaries . He looked glassy-eyed . "Which outsider are you talking about? Manlyn’s order? Do you think I have to follow that Manlyn’s order here?"

"That Manlyn" definitely did not sound nice . The mercenaries became angry, but dared not show it on their faces . If a person could treat his own senior swordswoman as a maid, he might be able to look down upon their commanders . They looked at each other and then at Ozzic, hoping to find some answer from him . Unfortunately, Ozzic had already moved to the side and bowed respectfully . They could not even see his face .

"Master, we cannot go against Master Manlyn’s orders . " The mercenaries felt terrified, but they had to follow orders . They still blocked the entrance with their bodies .

"Let’s put it this way . I am the brother of Alice . Right now Alice has agreed to marry that Manlyn . I would not interfere with Alice in her decision, but I have to make sure Alice is going to have a good life . Do you understand?"

The mercenaries looked at each other . They looked excited and happy . "You are the brother of Alice, but…" Their commander definitely had good eyes . They did not know Lady Alice had such a powerful family background, which also meant they could rely on them and not worry about that Anfey come back and cause trouble .

"What don’t you understand?" Anfey asked impatiently . "I have to make sure that my sister is going to have a good life so I have to take care of any potential threats . I heard Manlyn used to have a good relationship with Shinbella . If Alice agreed to this marriage, then how could I allow Shinbella to continue living?"

There were about eight mercenaries on the other side of the fence . Anfey played them hard . At first, they were shocked when they saw Anfey, a powerful person, suddenly came here . Later they felt excited when they realized Anfey was one of them . They were startled when Anfey said he wanted to kill Shinbella . Their commander was cruel . He only put Shinbella in jail, but Anfey wanted to kill her . They wondered if all powers were like this—never thinking others’ lives were important, not even their beautiful and powerful vice commander, Shinbella .

The mercenaries were so disturbed and confused that they lost their ability to think . They muttered, but could not come up with a word .

"Master, we…" One mercenary finally said something, but he looked like he was about to cry .

"Ok, ok . I do not want to give you a hard time . I am going in . " Anfey waved his hand . The mercenaries felt so relieved, but before they could thank Anfey, he said, "You guys go in now . Cut off Shinbella’s head for me . I will leave after that . "

They were again startled by what Anfey said . The grateful look they had displayed suddenly froze on their faces . This was too much to take! They wondered what kind of person Anfey was and why he changed his mind so fast and in such a unpredictable way . They could not cut off Shinbella’s head . Commander Manlyn would tear them into pieces .

"You cannot do this either?" Anfey’s face changed . He looked cold and ready to kill people . He said, threateningly, "Is it because Manlyn wants to protect Shinbella? It has to be like that . I did not want to interfere with Alice’s decision, but I am changing my mind now . To be frank, I did not want Alice to marry a mercenary anyway . Manlyn does not deserve my sister . "

"Master, it is not like that," a mercenary yelled bitterly . If this bigshot really wanted to change his mind and stop the marriage of Alice and their commander, the commander would tear them to pieces as well . No matter what, it did not look like they would survive their punishment .

"Let’s go . " Anfey coldly glanced at that mercenary . He did not want to negotiate any more . "Ozzic, take me to Alice and that stupid Manlyn . How could he say sweet things to Alice but protect his ex at the same time . He is not allowed to stay here anymore . Hmm… Do you think you can handle Manlyn?" Anfey looked at Ernest .

Ernest was shocked for a second before he said with a smile, "Master, I am a top power . Manlyn is nothing more than an ant . I will take care of him . "

Ernest grabbed his sword shaft, a gust of combat power flashing like a string of liquid .

Seeing a top power among Anfey’s subordinates, the mercenaries froze . As they saw Anfey turning around to walk away, one of the mercenaries who had some sense left made a decision fast . If it was not okay to interfere with the commander’s wedding, or kill Shinbella . They only had one option left: to allow the earl to kill Shinbella himself . They would only be punished for a misdemeanor if they allowed Anfey in . After their commander married Alice, it would be unknown whether they would get punished for that . It would be better than going against Anfey .

The mercenary pushed the wood door open firmly and yelled, "Master, hold on, hold on…"
