Leon quickly passed on instructions to Rakon on how to handle the safety of the growing town, and then took Eric with him to return to the portal.
Eric was a veritable Peak B rank fighter. He would be a valuable combat asset on the field, and it would be a waste to leave him here. There were already hundreds of B rank summons on guard to defend the town if any attack came their way. Then he made his way to the place where the men from the Gublin Empire had gathered.
"Sure took your time." Richard commented when Leon and Eric arrived.
"I had to make sure my people knew what to do." Leon brushed off the comment as he looked around the place. The soldiers had stern looks on their faces while the mercenaries under Richard looked more relaxed.
