Afterward, Sol and his group directly saved the bound mercenaries.
The rescued mercenaries showed expressions of relief after surviving the ordeal, and then one after another, they began giving their accounts.
"Captain, you finally came back."
"Some beastmen came and kidnapped us, taking all the beastmen away."
"They also looted all our belongings, and those who resisted got beaten up."
"..."
As they spoke, they were also hoping that the captain would blame the beastmen, not holding them accountable.
They couldn't afford the responsibility!
More than two hundred beastmen, and even a five-digit number of gold coins, they couldn't cover the loss even if they sold themselves!
They never expected that what was supposed to be a good job of just watching over turned into a death warrant in a blink.
These fifty-plus mercenaries were genuinely scared; many of them had just joined the mercenary team, not knowing what fate awaited them for losing so many prey.
