ꨡ[6Ba~oA}4: Chapter 0774: Success (Extra 1000 words, requesting monthly passes) Chapter 774: Chapter 0774: Success (Extra 1000 words, requesting monthly passes) Outside the swamp.

With a short sword in hand, Jupiter crawled on the ground, silently waiting for the prey to fall into his trap.

This calm and composure secretly won the approval of several nearby captains.

Suddenly, cries of alarm came from afar.

A caravan was being chased by centaurs, recklessly rushing into the swamp.

“Huah!”

The next moment, numerous centaurs circled around.

With their lower bodies of horses and upper bodies of humans, most of their hair was brown or black.

Their upper bodies were muscular and strong, wielding wooden spears, bows and arrows, and each of them was a born knight.

‘So these are the centaurs?’

The moment they saw them, all the mercenaries held their breaths.

At that moment, they saw the centaurs howling and rushing into the swamp to collect the spoils of war.

“Charge!

Follow me!”

Without any hesitation, Jupiter yelled and began charging.

“Zing!”

An arrow flew in his direction, which he deflected using his short sword.

Immediately, Jupiter charged into the swamp, smashing his left shield forcefully.

“Boom!”

A centaur, three heads taller than him, fell backward onto the muddy ground and struggled to get up.

“Kill them!”

Behind him were hundreds of mercenaries, forming a pocket-like formation.

“It’s a trap!

Break out!”

Amid the centaurs, a horseman leader with jet-black hair and a horseshoe-shaped mark on his chest roared in anger.

The remaining centaurs began to regroup, seemingly preparing for a charge.

Unfortunately, the muddy terrain greatly restricted their movement, causing their charging speed to slow to a crawl.

Within these brief moments, the outcome had been determined!

A large number of mercenaries had arrived before the centaurs.

Knights who couldn’t charge faced defeat in the face of their infantry encirclement!

“Roar!”

The centaur leader roared, his long spear sweeping across and knocking several mercenaries off their feet: “Ape people…

who is your leader?

I, Ke Rong·Bloodhoof, challenge him!”

“There’s no such thing in war!”

Jupiter laughed heartily before realizing that Ke Rong·Bloodhoof was a Super String Warrior.

Ordinary mercenaries were no match for him, so Jupiter advanced to the front.

“Poom!”

After exchanging blows with Ke Rong·Bloodhoof numerous times, Jupiter was pushed back.

After all, he was at a serious disadvantage in terms of weaponry.

‘What an opponent!’

Upon seeing this, Jupiter’s eyes sparkled: ‘My teacher once said…

I’m only one step away from becoming a ‘hero’ of old…

I just lacked a stimulating opponent!

Now, I have found a perfect one!’

He roared and charged forward again.

‘Hmm?

This ape man…Such exquisite combat skills!’

Ke Rong·Bloodhoof from across was also shocked, sensing Jupiter’s tenaciousness.

The two engaged in a dozen more rounds of fighting.

Suddenly, a substantial pressure came from the opposite direction.

Ke Rong was pushed back several steps and saw electricity bursting out of Jupiter!

“This is…

a phenomenon only heroes possess!”

He murmured, almost at a loss for words.

‘String!’

This was a paramount truth that the Insect Clan learned from ancient tablets left by ancient rulers, who believed ‘string’ was a form of communication- communication between living beings and nature.

As Super String Warriors advanced, especially after reaching the fourth level, the ‘string’ inside their bodies became powerful enough to fuse with nature, forming a certain ‘phenomenon’ or actual supernatural power.

In ancient times, this was the mark of a hero!

At this moment, Jupiter reached the fourth level and awakened the power of thunder!

“This is…”

Other mercenaries stared in disbelief, then their spirits were lifted, “Hero Jupiter!

Hero Jupiter!”

“Ha!”

Jupiter was engulfed in electrical light, moving three times faster than before, sprinting towards Keroung.

Clang, clang!

The weapons clashed once more, sparks flying everywhere, the paralyzing force instantly made Keroung’s body stiff, unable to move.

Seizing this opportunity, Jupiter knocked Keroung to the ground, with his short sword at Keroung’s neck, “Submit or Die?”

“I…I choose to submit!”

The boost of an ancient hero is hard to describe, even among the orcs, it is widespread worship.

Ke Rong·Bloodhoof fell silent, he bent his front leg and knelt down, a sign of surrender.

After him, the other Centaurs also ceased their resistance one after another.

Seeing this, Jupiter raised his right hand high.

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

The cheering around him, one wave higher than the next.

…

“Hero?”

Off in the distance, the lurking Cicero heard the cheers, his face turned pale, “Has Jupiter become a hero?”

“Master, what do we do?” The slave trembling next to him asked.

A Hero!

In the Kingdom of Hormone, the title holds an extremely special meaning.

After all, the initial Human King Rite was of such caliber, and even led the Ape People to glory.

With this reputation, later heroes just needed to call and there were always those who would respond.

That is to say, if Jupiter returned to the City of Black Sack now, mobilizing thousands of people to follow him would be no problem.

This power is enough to create a new city-state in the wilderness!

“A new hero has emerged, this is a big deal!

We have to head back at once!”

Cicero, looking back, quickly decided.

He had long thrown the idea of an ambush out of his mind.

To try to block a hero with this number of people was just seeking death!

Moreover…@@novelbin@@

the other party’s team didn’t suffer much damage either.

‘The skies of the City of Black Sack…

are about to change…’

He left in a hurried mess, looking up at the blue sky, and for some reason, a feeling of doom suddenly arose in his heart.

…

City of Blacksack.

At the city gate, Heraclitus paced back and forth, looking in the direction Jupiter had left, “What’s happening?

Why haven’t they returned yet?”

“Don’t worry, my old friend!”

Su Lu reassured him with a smile, “Jupiter is a brilliant and brave kid, he’ll be fine.”

At that moment, human figures appeared where the sky met the Earth in the distance.

The figures got closer and closer, turning into mercenaries triumphant from battle.

Heraclitus saw this scene, turned away, his eyes suddenly red, “Let’s go…

we’re heading back to the guild.”

“Haha, Heraclitus…

you…”

Su Lu shook his head, following Heraclitus back.

At the outskirts of the Mercenary Guild, a group of soldiers from the City Lord’s Mansion had gathered.

“What’s going on?”

Heraclitus, worried, approached quickly, pushing through the crowd to ask.

“Sir Heraclitus, this is the command from the city state’s lord, Lord Winston…”

An official approached and explained with a smile, “Cicero twisted the lord’s order, sowing discord between the City Lord’s Mansion and the Mercenary Guild, he should be killed!”

He clapped his hands, and one of the soldiers brought out a tray, on top was Cicero’s severed head.

“Was…

this necessary?”

Heraclitus was a bit surprised, even if the mission had been completed, the change in the City Lord Mansion’s attitude was too strange and intense.
