"Most mercenaries are just a bunch of guys who sell their lives for money. While their equipment is much worse than a regular army's, they're a bit more ferocious, so it's not like they'll just get scared and run."
The Lord immediately observed the soldiers' equipment and morale. It was more or less as Monvert had described.
Their equipment consisted almost entirely of Leather Armor and nasal helmets; only a few could afford to add a piece of Chain Armor. More importantly, their expressions were lax, lacking the solemn discipline of a regular army that treats orders as sacrosanct.
He shared his observations with Leiden, Monvert, and the nobles under his command, but no one recognized the Mercenary Corps' banner.
'Where did Kolon scrape together this second-rate bunch?'
The Lord came to an immediate conclusion.
