The next moment, the soldiers sliced through the ropes binding the mermaids and tipped them all into the pond.
The mermaids could hardly believe it. They wanted to cheer and sing, but they were afraid the noise might anger the Baron, so they instinctively huddled together, embracing one another and celebrating the fact that the Baron had not immediately killed them.
After briefly checking on one another, the mermaids once again looked at Phield pitifully.
"I am not the one who destroyed your homeland. Besides, I have enemies in common with them."
The people trafficking mermaids were most likely from the Stormsea Mercantile Nation. Phield had indeed had his own conflicts with them.
After ordering the soldiers to leave, Phield asked gently,
"Relax, ladies. Tell me what you can do, and I will find suitable work for you."
