Payne Blanc in Action

Gerard was quite confused. Shouldn't they attack seeing the enemy's back? And push their way through the enemy until they reached the walls of West Town? If necessary, he wouldn't hesitate to use the Spell Blade's [Skill: Tactical Strike]. His hand is already in the grip of Spell Blade but was confused when Captain Slick orders him to slow down and waited for the enemy no noticed them.

What made him frown the most is the enemy was not alerted and it seems they are anticipating their arrival.

"Esteem Sir, I am Captain Slick from Count Alvis's manor, may I know your name?"

The manservant answered.

"He is Leon Lion, the next in line and successor of the Lion family."

"With due respect, we ask you to give us passage to reach the Town safely so we can convey your intent on my behalf to the Count about the siege."

Leon snared and nodded his head.
