Chapter 61 - Bluewind City (part 2)

*Thud*

"What?!" A man wearing a brown hood woke up when he heard something banging on the table in front of him.

"Who is your leader?" A man wearing black clothes asked the man in the brown hood, who was the only one at a table full of fresh beer mugs.

"Who wants to know?" The man was clearly drunk. He looked at the man in black clothes and asked, upset.

The black-clothed man, one of the King's spies, wanted to hire some mercenaries to travel to Portgreen. He pointed to the bag of coins he threw on the table. "Fifty silver coins. Let me talk to your leader."

The brown-hooded man checked the bag and really had a lot of silver coins... It wasn't a high payment, but his group was almost leaving the city... He took the spy to the back of the tavern where there was a brothel.

The leader of the small mercenary group agreed to take some spies for more silver coins. They would travel to the nearest neighboring kingdom, so it would only be beneficial to them.

The spy returned to report the spymaster near the castle, and an hour later, he and the other three spies meet the mercenaries near one of the city exits.

Some mercenaries were clearly drunk, but the group had twenty men, and most were fine. With the four spies, they left the city through the northern exit.

The group passed through the gates without any problems and followed the north road. They, as well as the guards and anyone nearby, did not notice the three figures, which followed them from the shadows.

Lucien had listened to the spy talk about him and his partners traveling with a mercenary group. He reported everything to Rose, and the trio recognized the mercenary group quickly with Maggie's abilities.

On the wall, a hundred meters from the gate, Maggie went down using a rope. Astrid has a feline agility and high endurance so that she could jump off the wall without any problems.

Rose could literally levitate to the ground. The group went down the wall and continued to follow the group of mercenaries, who started to ride horses shortly after leaving the city.

The Bluewind Kingdom area was open fields and not forests as close to Portgreen city, so using horses there was very popular even though attack by mystic beasts was common too.

Of course, that horses were not so incredible as to be a problem for the girls to follow. After all, they were already amazing women before drinking Lucien's special milk, now Maggie and Rose have agility equivalent to the best A-rank adventurers. At the same time, Astrid could easily surpass some S-rank.

Under Astrid's orders, the girls followed the mercenary group five miles away from the city. They started the attack only after passing a small hill to eliminate the targets with maximum discretion.

The mercenary group was traveling smoothly. They had already gone through this route several times, and apart from having to deal with some beast attacks, they never had any significant problems on that road.

*Tremble*

"What the f.u.c.k is that?!" The group's leader was a Gold-rank mercenary and was startled when the earth began to shake. The horses were frightened by knocking over most of the men while stone thorns grew from the ground creating a kind of strange wall around the group.

The King's spies were men trained in stealth and investigation techniques. Even so, they didn't notice anything until the attack started... Then they heard a strange conversation, which left them very confused.

(Rose) "Let's do this fast. My husband must be waiting for me."

(Maggie) "Stop calling him husband! You haven't married yet."

(Rose) "What do you have to do with it? I don't need anyone to say that we
