An Extra’s POV

The rest of the discourse with Rebal went smoothly; as he essentially gave details regarding the strategy he wanted to employ.

It was well thought out, and Rey ended up agreeing to all of it.

He was still skeptical about trusting the Mercenary Gang, and he found a lot of the information on them to be dubious, but he trusted the words of the more experienced man in the room.

At the final parts of the meeting, Rebal Blanc made one final request of him.

"Since we desperately need cash for our plans—especially with the Mercenary Gang—we'll need to engage in a few trades. We would like you to guard our caravans as they pass through our trade route."

According to Rebal, a lot had been happening to interfere with the transportation of their merchandise.

It was becoming a bother at this point—and the company was securing heavy losses as a result.

"With you protecting our Items, we are guaranteed that they'll arrive at their destination."

It was a sensible plan, and Rey agreed readily to it.

He was curious about one thing, though.

"What about the goods you wanted to sell to the Elves? Didn't you have it in some kind of warehouse in the East?"

"Ahhh…" Rebal's troubled face said enough to show that all was no well.

"Still no contact?"

"None." Rebal shook his head and sighed. "But we have confirmation that those goods have practically fallen into the hands of the enemy."

Unless they could turn the fight around and gain more ground, they couldn't hope to access them anytime soon.

"Isn't there a likelihood that they'll try to contact the Elves and sell the goods for themselves?"

Rebal nodded, more wrinkles appearing on his face.
