Blue Sword

"Then, are you waiting for your family to come over now?" Nora said thoughtfully.

"Yes." Eleanor was confident, "You also know that the Holy See cannot restrict believers from absorbing extraordinary power, but it clearly prohibits believers from taking magic potions to become extraordinary people."

"As long as I tell them that I am already a transcendent, my family will definitely help me cover up my status as a heretic, so that I will not be forced to marry other nobles at the risk of being exposed, nor will I be allowed to enter a monastery."

"The best way is to let me inherit a family fiefdom, so that I can have the income to support myself without worrying about exposing my identity as a transcendent."

"Really?" Nora said slowly, "Then if your father allows you to inherit the fief..."

"Then you will leave us, right?"

Eleanor was stunned there, as if she hadn't thought about this level yet, and then she smiled reluctantly:

"Yes. After all, I am the Duke's daughter. I can't possibly...be a mercenary for the rest of my life."

"Ellie." Nora hugged her gently, her voice choked, "I really hope you can realize your dream, but I can't bear to have you leave..."

"Nora." Eleanor patted her back comfortingly, "Even if I leave, I am still a part of the Blue Sword. In my fiefdom, everyone is welcome to come back and rest at any time."

The two girls hugged each other and burst into tears. Medea was tired of watching and secretly cursed in her heart:

It seems as if you have convinced your family and successfully obtained the fief.

She was just thinking about something when she saw Ask teleporting next to her.

"It's settled," Asker said, "Let's gather everyone and we're going to enter the town."

"Wait a minute." Medea used telepathy to report Eleanor's affairs.

"Oh." Ask said.

"Not surprised?" Medea asked.

"It's quite surprising," Aske said.

"Aren't you worried?" Medea asked again.

"Don't worry." Asik replied, "You know the direction of history in the next few years, right?"

Medea was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

HRE Civil War.

By then, the dukes will begin full-scale war preparations and recruit troops from all over the vassals' territories. How can they have time to allocate additional territory to their children?

I'll give it to you, and you'll recruit the soldiers here? You have just become a lord. Do you know the situation in your own territory?

"Cunning and cunning." Medea commented with a smile, "It seems that I am worrying too much."

"It has nothing to do with being cunning and cunning." Aske said, "The times have their own trends, and people cannot go against the trends."

"In the next few years, the greatest benefits can be gained by becoming mercenaries, because they wander around, participate in changes in various parts of the continent, and grab extraordinary power from them, quickly improving their level and strength."

"On the contrary, the so-called lords and vassals are naturally bound to their own territory, perfectly missing all the opportunities brought by the rising demonic tide."

"As the overall strength of the feudal lords and mercenaries overturns, a new storm will soon be set off. Don't look at the fact that Eleanor still needs to worry about the family's attitude. In a few years, the entire family may have to worry about it. It relies on her existence to maintain it."

"Really?" Medea was also a little moved after hearing this, "Then I can also..."

"As long as you reach the level of demigod, no matter which country you serve in a few years, it will be absolutely no problem to obtain the status of a great noble." Asker said, "Of course, the title will no longer be important at that time, what is important is how to ensure your own level. Continue to grow and not fall behind in the competition among extraordinary people at the forefront of the world.”

"After all, strength is everything."

"Understood." Medea replied in a brisk tone, "Now, do you want me to gather everyone together?"

"Yes." Ask said, "Let's set off as soon as possible."

——————

In the previous meeting, the cabinet ministers representing the Duke of Carinthia had reached a consensus with the mercenaries.

The mercenaries are responsible for solving this change.

the reason is simple. Ordinary people are powerless against extraordinary changes.

The fastest way is to ask the Holy See to send out the Templar Knights, and the second is to find senior extraordinary people to go in and solve it.

However, the relationship between Emperor Otto of the Holy Solomon Empire and the Holy See was already at an extremely bad stage. The Duke of Carinthia did not choose to report to the Holy See and introduce the Knights Templar to his own territory to solve the mutation. It seemed that he had already expressed his attitude - he chose to support His Majesty Emperor Otto.

Of course, this is just a vague political statement, and it will not lead to the Holy See expelling him from the church.

On the other hand, if the Duke of Carinthia allows his extraordinary beings to appear in public, the Holy See will definitely regard it as a heretical provocation and break with the Principality of Carinthia.

Therefore, the Duke of Carinthia neither intends to approach the Holy See, nor can he use the extraordinary power he has cultivated privately, so seeking the help of mercenaries is the fastest way.

Mercenaries have no moral integrity. They have no ID cards or household registrations, and they wander back and forth between major countries. Even if they accidentally expose the identity of someone in the group as a transcendent, it could cause a war with the local Templars and Demon Hunters. chase battle.

As long as I run fast enough, you can't kill me.

When the time comes to escape to other countries and live in anonymity for a few years, the Holy See will not be able to mobilize the power of the entire continent to investigate and arrest a small extraordinary person.

Therefore, the Duke of Carinthia paid and the mercenaries solved the mutation while bearing the risk of exposing their own heresy. Both parties reached a win-win choice.

The mercenary groups participating in the suppression of this mutation include Cangqing Sword and Iron Cross.

There is also the West Frankish "Wind of Freedom" mercenary group that we had dealings with last time.

Venis "Golden Bullet" mercenary group.

Iberian "Bulls" mercenary group.

Kalmar "Viking" mercenary group.

Britannia "Porse" mercenary group.

In addition to these large mercenary groups, there are also nearly a hundred small mercenary groups that have signed up to participate in mutation suppression. Of course, the price cannot be compared with the large mercenary groups - the large mercenary group negotiated a buyout with the Principality of Carinthia. As for the price, for the small mercenary group, the Principality of Carinthia unilaterally provides a guaranteed minimum price. You can pick them up or not, or take them away.

As a little-known Cangqing Sword, it could only get a guaranteed minimum price originally, but Andrea fought hard and relied on the reputation and guarantee of Iron Cross to get a buyout price for Asker.

The reward is much higher than that of ordinary mercenary missions. It can only be said that the noble lord is really rich.

So the mercenary groups began to enter the town of Runfield, where this change occurred, from different directions.

The reason for choosing to enter separately is also for the purpose of confidentiality. After all, this is the territory of the Catholic Church of Solomon. If the identity of any extraordinary person in the group is exposed in the battle, it will be very troublesome for a competitor to report anonymously to the Holy See.

The big mercenary group doesn't bother to do such immoral things because of its big trees, but it's hard to say for the small mercenary group - the road is very wild, and there are all kinds of weird things.

"Listen up." Standing outside Runfield, Asker and the girls announced, "This time we will divide into two teams to fight."

"Eh?!" the girls shouted in shock.
