The Broken Sword Mercenary Group was one of the earliest outside mercenary groups to settle in Snakehead Town, traveling back and forth between Emerald Sea Valley and Snakehead Town every day.
However, once the Pioneer War began, large numbers of mercenary groups came flooding in.
The Broken Sword Mercenary Group's news was soon drowned out in the sea of mercenaries. The last time Duke had heard anything about them was when he overheard someone chatting aboard a Black Beetle Car: the Broken Sword Group's leader, the 1-Ring Great Knight Draimon, had died amid a beast tide's siege.
At the time, some mercenaries had even mocked them, saying that the Broken Sword Mercenary Group was an ill-omened name.
"Hmm, looks like this mercenary group wasn't disbanded after all, but merely changed leaders... Qina, I wonder if she'll follow in Draimon's footsteps."
Mercenaries were people who licked blood from the edge of a blade. Death could happen at any moment.
Duke shook his head.
He stopped thinking about these pointless matters, picked up his coffee cup, and savored it slowly. With Xiao Yi helping him cultivate on autopilot, he had gained plenty of leisurely time to enjoy life.
After finishing his coffee,
he mounted his bicycle and took another lap around the town. The sheet-metal fence on Third Vertical Street had already been removed, the ground and roads had been leveled, and the foundations of the buildings had been laid.
Countless iron pillars had been erected.
Puppets with structures resembling rings crawled up and down the iron pillars, transporting construction materials like tower cranes and making the entire construction site advance at breakneck speed.
Some of the construction sites even had signs erected in front of them.
Duke glanced over them and found that they contained news of many merchants and organizations
