Description
“The last thing that remained was the promise with the dragon…” In this continent where humans and demi-humans exist, it is in an era where both sides were clashing heavily… In that kind of era, there was a man that had managed to make a variety of demi-humans coexist, and due to this, the human force ridiculed him by calling him Demon Lord. The strong spirited king of Garuna, Verius. He was one of the human kings that favoured the demi-humans. And then, there’s the family of Dragon Knights that served the king of Garuna -the Strauss. These foolhardy devilish swordsmen deftly drove flying dragons and protected the kingdom. However, this kingdom that loves bravery would be falling as well… Before the overwhelming numbers of the enemy, the father and brothers in the dragon knight family were killed. The fourth son of the Strauss family, Solje, charged into the enemy lines together with the last remaining dragon of their family, Ares. —Fighting in the battlefield and dying as a dragon knight, and then becoming a song, is an honor for them, but…Solje, who was supposed to have died in the battlefield, was brought back to life by the ancient dragon Ares with his mana. The phantom of Ares speaks: “The Demon Lord has been killed due to the betrayal of our allied country”. “Kill these traitors”, the ancient dragon Ares requests of Solje. Hugging the bones of his beloved little sister, he pledges revenge. Years passed after that…and his bitter enemy, the Faris Kingdom, continued increasing in power, and had become a giant empire. With the cross of several battlefields, Solje was picked up by a mercenary called the White Lion. The Banjar Mercenary Group; a mercenary group composed of a few demi-human elites fighting against the oppression of the Empire. The Bow Princess Elf, the Giant Warrior, the Beastkin Girl, the Poet Man. Having obtained reliable comrades, the fate of once again meeting a dragon began to move for Solje Strauss. …This is the epic sung about the 13 war beasts and one black dragon

The Mercenary Group of the Demon Lord Army’s Former Dragon Knight Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Mercenary Group of the Demon Lord Army’s Former Dragon Knight
"The Mercenary Group of the Demon Lord Army’s Former Dragon Knight" – what a mouthful! But after diving in, I can see why it's generating buzz. It's got that addictive quality that makes you want to keep reading, even when you probably should be doing something else.
First Impressions
From the get-go, I was struck by the solid pacing and characterization. The world-building is intriguing, and the initial chapters pulled me right in. The premise itself – a former dragon knight leading a mercenary group – is already a win in my book. There's a sense of adventure and potential that's hard to ignore.
What Works Well
The protagonist, Solje, seems to be a major draw. He's not your typical dense MC; he's portrayed as a mature, even ruthless, individual who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it. This is a breath of fresh air! His interactions with his crew are also a highlight, with well-developed characters that I quickly became invested in. The narrative seems to avoid the typical "boom boom smash" approach to war, instead incorporating politics and tactics that make the world feel more believable. I appreciate the attention to detail in the action sequences and the avoidance of major plot holes.
Areas of Concern
The sheer length of this novel is a bit daunting. With nearly 2000 chapters, the question of whether the author can maintain the quality is definitely in the back of my mind. It's a valid concern, as many long-running stories tend to lose their way eventually. I'm hoping the author can keep the momentum going and avoid any major dips in writing quality.
Final Verdict
Despite my apprehension about the length, I'm thoroughly enjoying "The Mercenary Group of the Demon Lord Army’s Former Dragon Knight" so far. The compelling characters, engaging plot, and well-executed action make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a fantasy novel with a mature protagonist and a focus on tactics and character development, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a long ride!
