After a pause, the leader of the mercenary regiment continued saying, "Going the long way is the commander- in-
chief of Dorodo's city defense army, Sean Lennon, his subordinate, Zander, and several city defense soldiers."
"So we..." The person nearby asked, but they already knew the answer.
Their leader had said they might not be able to catch up with Shania, who took the shortcut, if they went after her.
They had a good chance of catching up with Sean and Zander, who took the long way.
Even if they caught up with Shania, so what?
Shania was only the mayor's daughter, not the mayor of Dorodo. Even if they captured or killed her, it would not be
of much use.
On the other hand, Sean was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. He was accompanied by the

In this case, Sean and Zander were worth much more than Shania, who was likely out of reach now.
"Let's go after Sean and Zander! We must catch or kill them. That way, Dorodo will be in chaos!"
The leader of the mercenary regiment snapped before whipping the horse and chasing after Sean and the rest in
the distance.
100 members of the mercenary regiment followed. Thick clouds of smoke instantly rose on the narrow road.
Sean was behind Zander and all the city defense soldiers.
The reason he was in the back rather than in the front was he could detect where the mercenary regiment was and
how far they were from him and others.
If the enemy attacked with arrows, he could also help the city defense soldiers to fend off the enemy. That would
prevent the loss of city defense soldiers. After all, the ten city defense soldiers and five personal guards had their
role to play. They could not die.
"Commander, what's next?" Zander asked.
It was because he had noticed the stray mercenary regiment chasing up from behind.
Watching hundreds of people chasing up, Zander was unafraid, but the city defense soldiers and personal guards in
front of him showed fear.
"Into the woods!" Sean said solemnly.
"Into the woods? Okay!" Without hesitation, Zander quickly nodded heavily.
He had already understood what Sean meant. Whether the stray mercenary regiment would catch up with them on
a road without obstacles was only a matter of luck. It depended on the horses they rode.

However, there was room to maneuver in the mountains. They could do anything they wanted.
Sean and Zander turned their horses around and headed into the woods with ten city defense soldiers and five
personal guards.
The stray mercenary regiment running after them saw this from a distance and looked furious.
The leader of the mercenary regiment snapped, "Damn it. These guys are f*cking cunning. They're harder to catch
than foxes!"
"Sir, are we going into the woods too?" A subordinate asked.
"After them!"
Hundreds of mercenaries followed Sean and Zander into the woods. However, they found that Sean and the others
had disappeared after entering the dense forest.
Dense trees in mountain forests provided the best cover. Although horses were limited in speed in such places,
Sean and others could hide as much as they liked with the cover and protection of trees.
The face of the leader of the mercenary regiment darkened instantly as he realized his situation.
