"Menkar, that battle-hungry fool... All he had to do was get them to accept the Battle of Rites. Instead, he went and made a mess of things." Gakhan said to himself with a cold gaze.
Of course, Gakhan was not some kind-hearted person who wished to give his enemies a chance. The reason he suggested the Battle of Rites despite their obvious advantage was for no other reason than to draw out their true commander, who had yet to reveal themselves.
As for the results of the Battle of Rites itself, in the end, it did not matter if they emerged victorious. While it was true that Pzenium warriors were bound by the Laws of the First Mercenary King, Gakhan knew that the same could not be said for their current enemies.
