Reborn with Infinite System Points, I Gathered All SSS Classes! Chapter 47 -47-Annihilating the Mercenary Legion, Settling t

"So noble a dragon and phoenix race... why would they appear in this border city?"

The rcenary Commander’s face had turned deathly pale.

All the arrogance he had shown just monts ago was gone without a trace.

He watched his n scream and scatter beneath the assault of blazing fire and freezing frost. Fear gripped his heart.

At that mont, only one thought remained in his mind:

Run!

He no longer cared about regrouping his forces.

Spurring his horse around, the rcenary Commander prepared to flee at once.

However—

In the very next instant, the warhorse beneath him let out a pitiful cry and collapsed to the ground with a crash.

The rcenary Commander scrambled to his feet and looked up, only to see a figure standing beside the horse’s corpse, gazing at him coldly.

"You!"

The rcenary Commander’s lips trembled.

The newcor was none other than John—the very man he had mocked earlier.

John pulled his dagger from the dead horse’s body.

Then, step by step, he walked toward the rcenary Commander.

The commander staggered backward uncontrollably, looking utterly terrified.

"Don’t move."

With a single sentence from John, he froze on the spot.

John stared at him. "Answer . Who exactly hired your n to attack Snelow City this ti?"

The rcenary Commander opened his mouth. "Th-this... in our line of work, we can’t just reveal the employer’s identity, so—"

Before he could finish—

Roar!

The Crimsonfla Dragon circling overhead received John’s command and dove down at once.

Its terrifying dragon breath swept past the rcenary Commander by a hair’s breadth.

The scorching heat alone made his scalp go numb and cold sweat pour down his back.

Watching the Crimsonfla Dragon soar away again, the rcenary Commander finally broke completely.

A foul-slling puddle spread beneath him.

John let out a cold laugh. "If you refuse to speak, then you can burn to ash with the rest of your n."

How could the rcenary Commander dare keep anything hidden now? He hurriedly blurted out, "I’ll talk! My lord, please spare my life!

"The one who hired this ti was the lord of Krell City in the Ruvan Kingdom!

"He promised half the treasure once the job was done.

"I was blinded by greed, so I—"

Slash!

[-71000!]

Before he could finish speaking, a thin line of blood appeared across the rcenary Commander’s neck.

His head rolled from his shoulders.

John had beheaded him on the spot.

[You have slain Boss "rcenary Commander Lv.45," EXP 100,000, gold coins 5,000!]

[You have plundered the special item "Pillage Order," gold coins 500,000!]

John sheathed his dagger and gave an order to the Crimsonfla Dragon and Frost Phoenix circling overhead.

"Leave no rcenary alive."

The two colossal beasts received the command and imdiately plunged downward.

A slaughter began.

[Your pet "Crimsonfla Dragon" has slain rcenary Vice Commander Lv.40, shared EXP 20,000, gold coins 1,000!]

[You have plundered B-rank talent "Slash Enhancent," gold coins 100,000!]

[Your pet "Frost Phoenix" has slain Elite rcenary Lv.30, shared EXP 10,000, gold coins 500!]

[You have plundered B-rank talent "Slash Enhancent," gold coins 50,000!]

...

As the two giant beasts continued their massacre, the EXP they gained from their kills was shared with John as well.

Even better, their kills could still trigger his Plunder talent.

It ant John could simply sit back and do nothing while EXP and gold coins poured in.

No one knew how long the slaughter lasted.

At last, all three thousand rcenaries of the rcenary Legion had been exterminated by the Crimsonfla Dragon and Frost Phoenix.

John directly plundered 5,000,000 gold coins and 20,000,000 EXP.

His EXP bar overflowed on the spot.

As for his wealth, it had skyrocketed dozens of tis over in an instant.

The riches this rcenary Legion had looted over the years were now all swept into John’s possession.

The city guards on the battlents had long since been dumbstruck.

They stared in disbelief as the rcenaries perished beneath the skills of the two giant beasts.

Normally, beast-race creatures of such overwhelming power would never enter human territory without reason.

They usually dwelled in special environntal domains of their own.

So why had they suddenly appeared here?

And why did they seem to be helping them wipe out these rcenaries?

At that mont, after completing John’s command, the two colossal beasts swiftly descended.

John first recalled the Frost Phoenix into his pet space, then lightly stepped onto the Crimsonfla Dragon’s back.

The Crimsonfla Dragon carried him straight toward the city walls.

Only then did everyone finally notice John.

And they were utterly shocked.

"Isn’t that the imperial reinforcent who disappeared just now? How did he suddenly end up there?"

"Wait... did he just subdue those two dragon-and-phoenix beasts?"

"Hiss... those terrifying monsters are his pets?!"

The city guards were completely stunned.

They had never imagined that beings as mighty as a dragon and a phoenix would willingly serve a human as pets.

By all logic, dragons and phoenixes regarded themselves as races equal to humankind.

Even the few among them willing to beco pets were usually mongrel bloodlines from those two clans.

But the Crimsonfla Dragon and Frost Phoenix from just now were obviously no such mixed-blood creatures.

And yet now, they had submitted themselves to a human and willingly obeyed his commands?

After carrying John onto the battlents, the Crimsonfla Dragon was also recalled into pet space.

The city guards looked at John with eyes full of awe and admiration.

The City Guard Captain personally stepped forward and spoke with deep respect.

"My lord, you truly are the Empire’s hope, to make such fearso beasts bow their heads in submission!

"On behalf of Snelow City, I thank you for your efforts!"

As he spoke, all the city guards dropped to one knee in unison.

"Thank you, my lord, for saving Snelow City!"

John waved a hand, signaling them to rise. "Guarding the Empire’s frontier is my duty. There is no need for thanks."

Just then—

A great cloud of dust rose in the distance.

A massive army was rushing toward the city at full speed.

The city guards, mistaking them for reinforcents of the rcenary Legion, imdiately beca alert.

But once they saw the banner unique to Snelow City, they all let out sighs of relief.

Then ca joy.

"Wonderful—the main force is back!"

"We finally don’t have to live in fear anymore."

"Thank the heavens. Even if another enemy force cos now, we won’t have to worry so much."

This army was none other than the main force of Snelow City.

They had returned just after John finished wiping out the rcenary Legion.

This was probably the twisted humor of the Hidden Quest.

The true main force was always destined to arrive one step too late.

The city gates opened, and the main army returned smoothly to Snelow City.

When the newly returned Lord of Snelow heard that the rcenary Legion had been destroyed by John alone, he was imdiately overwheld with shock and personally ca to express his gratitude.

"My deepest thanks to you, brave hero. Had you not intervened personally, I fear Snelow City would have been dood!"

Naturally, John exchanged a few polite words in return.

Then—

The Lord of Snelow took sothing from his robes and handed it to John.

"Snelow City has little of value to offer, but this item was sothing I obtained by chance in a secret realm.

"As a token of thanks, I present it to you, brave one."

The mont John accepted the token, a prompt sounded by his ear.

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the Hidden Quest "Defend Snelow City"!]

His spirits lifted.

At last—the quest rewards were finally being settled.
