Lord Protector Novel

Rowan knew the Great Marshal would not go back on his word once he made a promise.

Moreover, he did not have the right to negotiate terms with Zeke at this point.

So he sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll speak.”

He started explaining, “Five years ago, when I was still the commander of Legends Mercenary, the group wasn’t very big. Nevertheless, our reputation was solid, second only to Seal Mercenary. Because we were losing out to Seal Mercenary, we wanted to get rid of them. During that time, a mysterious man approached me and said that he wanted to join forces with me to annihilate Seal Mercenary. He put forward a safe and feasible plan, so I agreed to collaborate with him. His plan was to loot Seal Mercenary’s weapons and lure them into the imperial mausoleum while we lay there in ambush. Once they got into the mausoleum, we would be able to ambush and kill them easily since they would not have any weapons. In less than ten minutes, almost ten thousand Seal Mercenary members were slaughtered by us. After we wiped out Seal Mercenary, Legends Mercenary became the top group in Eurasia.”

He continued, “Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after that, Eurasia banned the existence of mercenary groups, and our group was forced to disband. With nowhere to go, I contacted the mysterious man out of desperation, hoping that he would lead me to a bright path, and it was then that he introduced me to Connor. Under Connor’s care, I successfully enlisted in the army and climbed to the position that I am in today. I don’t know the identity of that mysterious man, but he must have good relations with Connor.”

Zeke pondered for a moment then said, “Could it be that the mysterious man who hired you was Connor himself?”
