The human army finally advances on the Kudel Woods, and the Parabellum Mercenary company goes to meet them. Their training, power, and most importantly tactics are put to the test against organized forces of humans.

Parabellum and their elven benefactors put all their effort into ending the conflict with the humans as quickly as possible. However, the humans bolster their forces with a Brave blessed by the gods, who quickly finds himself crossing paths with Ogrou.

With the conflict with the humans behind them, Parabellum Mercenary Company releases what prisoners remain and offers them a provisional place in the mercenary company. However, several of these potential recruits think they deserve better treatment.
