Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 180: I Will Hang Your Head on the City Wall

"Leader, this is a good opportunity to gain reputation and spread the name of our organization to other cities. We must not let this opportunity slip away." Kairos was aware of the high risk, but from his point of view, it was worth it.

"I agree with brother Kairos’ idea, leader."

"Me too!"

"Leader, please make city mistress agree to allow us to guard the mine."

"Leader, you are city mistress’ boyfriend. Please, use your relationship with her to make her agree. We won’t ask for payment or reward because we only want reputation."

The other members approached him as they voiced their agreement to Kairos’ idea.

"I will guard the mine and fight the soldiers from both cities starting tomorrow. Won’t we also gain a reputation if I do well in protecting it?" They didn’t need to personally guard the mine just to build a reputation because he could simply introduce his organization and spare a few of them instead.

"It’s different, Leader," Dan responded. "We want everyone to know that our organization is full of powerful people, not just you."

"That’s right, Leader," Elian added. "If we don’t fight as well, they will think only you are powerful."

"Leader..."

"Leader..."

They put on pleading expressions, making sure Ren couldn’t refuse their request.

"Sigh." Ren could not refuse their request when he saw their expressions. "Alright. But I can’t guarantee that she will agree later."

"You are the best, leader!" Kairos and the others were thrilled when he granted their request. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Three of you come with me. We will go to the city guard headquarters now." Ren didn’t bring all of his subordinates because three people were already enough.

Kairos, Dan, and Elian immediately followed him.

Coincidentally, they met Scarlett in the courtyard of the city guard headquarters. She was with Major General Georgia, and they were heading to the weapon depot.

Scarlett stopped her footsteps when she noticed Ren and his subordinates, followed by Major General Georgia.

"Why are you here, Ren?" Scarlett asked curiously.

"Scarlett, my subordinates want to guard the mine. Can you grant their request?" Ren went straight to the point.

"City mistress, we don’t want the Mana Crystal, nor will we ask for payment. We only seek reputation," Dan clarified their reason for wanting to guard the mine, ensuring she didn’t suspect them of having hidden intentions.

"City mistress, our organization is still new and this is a golden opportunity to spread the name of our organization to other cities, so we hope you can grant our request." Kairos added.

"There, you heard it." Ren uttered.

Major General Georgia covered her mouth and giggled softly.

’So, they want to take advantage of the situation to spread the name of their organization, huh? They are like their leader.’

She also thought it was a smart move, but she didn’t say anything because Scarlett was the city mistress.

"Sure! But you have to follow our rules." There were two reasons why Scarlett agreed immediately.

First, they were Ren’s subordinates, and lastly, she didn’t see any disadvantage in letting them join her subordinates.

Instead, they would increase the overall strength of her subordinates because most of them were Master rank warriors and 3-star mages.

"Thank you! You are the kindest, most beautiful, most caring and most amazing city mistress in the world!" Elian said happily.

"City mistress, we promise not to tarnish the reputation of Nightshire City and will take down many soldiers from the other two cities. We will make a name for ourselves and let everyone know how amazing the Moon Organization is." Kairos could not control the happiness within him, so his words slipped out uncontrollably.

"Yes! We will let everyone know how great Nightshire City and the Moon Organization are." Dan corrected Kairos’ words.

Black lines formed on Ren’s forehead after hearing their words.

’I should not have agreed to their request earlier.’

He suddenly regretted his decision because their behavior made him feel embarrassed.

"Then, we will take our leave now." Ren didn’t want his underlings to say anything more embarrassing, so he dragged them out of the city guard headquarters immediately.

"City Mistress, we are leaving!" His underlings shouted as he waved their hands happily.

"Hehe. It seems Ren is embarrassed by his subordinates’ behavior." Major General Georgia uttered.

"It seems so." Scarlett smiled as she responded.

Then, the duo continued their walk to the weapon depot.

The next day, In front of the Cave.

"Why haven’t they come yet? Are they afraid after their subordinates were slaughtered by leader?" Raul wanted to fight the soldiers of Nafield City and Icria City immediately, so he grew impatient when they had yet to arrive.

"We went to the mine without rest because we wanted to fight them immediately, but...sigh." Dan took a deep breath because there was no sign of their enemies appearing in the mine.

The corner of Colonel Aidan’s lips twitched after hearing their words.

’Why are you sad? Isn’t this a good thing? We can mine the Mana Crystals at ease if they don’t show up.’

He still didn’t know the reason they were guarding the mine, as they had only mentioned that the City Mistress sent them to help them.

Shortly after that, one thousand soldiers from Icria City approached the mine. The ground shook with their footsteps, and dust rose into the air with each march.

They had previously lost the fight again, so Xander sent one thousand soldiers this time, ensuring they could claim the mine.

At the same time, a red-haired soldier rushed toward Colonel Aidan. "Report! One thousand soldiers from Icria City are approaching."

"So, they finally arrive, huh?" Colonel Aidan was not surprised because he believed Nafield City and Icria City would send soldiers to claim the mine again. "Go to the mine and inform General Viviana about this."

"Understood." The red-haired soldier dashed to the mine instantly.

As Colonel Aidan was telling his subordinates to get ready for war, Ren’s underlings wore happy faces.

They had been waiting for this moment, so they were thrilled because the opportunity to make a name for themselves and spread the name of their organization had finally arrived.

’They are coming... the opportunity we have been waiting for has finally come.’

They retrieved their weapons from their space rings and were ready for a war.

Moments later, the two groups stood face to face, and the tension in the air thickened as they stared at one another.

"Who is the masked man?" a red-haired man on horseback asked loudly.

Instead of answering his question immediately, Colonel Aidan asked, "Who are you? Why are you looking for the masked man?"

"I’m Alex Wilson, a commander of this regiment," Lieutenant Colonel Alex introduced himself. "I’m looking for him because he has killed many of my subordinates."

"A commander? Then, you are my target!" without waiting for another second, Raul rushed toward Colonel Alex.

’Hehe, I’ve found the perfect target! If I kill him, my reputation will soar!’

A grin spread across his face as he swiftly closed the distance between himself and Alex.

General Viviana and her subordinates were shocked by his actions, but they didn’t stop him and only looked at him.

At the same time, Ren’s subordinates shouted in frustration.

"Shit! I was too slow!"

"Damn it! I should’ve gone for that commander first!"

"Ugh! He got the best target on his first war! So unfair!"

Unwilling to be outdone, they quickly set their sights on the Deputy Commander and other high-ranking officers standing behind Colonel Alex.

Lieutenant Colonel Alex was unhappy when an unknown soldier tried to attack him because he deemed him unworthy of being his opponent.

"Know your place, lowly soldier!" Alex swung his golden spear, sending a huge wave of energy toward Raul.

As Raul blocked the attack, he planted his boots firmly into the ground, but the sheer force of the attack sent him skidding backward, carving deep furrows in the earth.

"Did you really think a weak attack like this could stop me?" even though his opponent was a powerful Master rank warrior, Raul was not afraid and wanted to attack Alex again.

But before he could attack Alex, a streak of blue lightning zipped past, and in an instant, a young man materialized before him, his white robes billowing in the wind.

"Sorry, Raul, but his target is me, so let me fight him. You can take on the man in red armor behind him. He is the deputy commander." Ren was wearing a mask again because he got a quest from his system.

The mission was to kill the commander while wearing a mask and gain fame in the process.

"Then, I will kill the deputy commander." Even though Raul could only see his back, he knew he was Ren because he was familiar with Ren’s voice.

"You’ve finally appeared, masked man." Alex jumped off his horse and approached Ren leisurely.

"It seems like you hate me to the bone." Ren retrieved his Aether Weapon from his space ring and turned it into a sword.

"The city lord ordered me to kill you and display your head on the city wall as a warning to those who dare oppose our city." Alex didn’t attack Ren immediately.

Instead, he stood right before Ren bravely as if he believed Ren could not injure or kill him.

"Hang my head on the wall, huh? Your city lord just gave me a great idea for what to do with your corpse later." A sinister smile crept onto Ren’s face as a wicked idea took shape in his mind.

"My corpse? Haha." Alex laughed loudly. "You are the one who is going to die, not me."
