While Hathaway was talking to the somewhat aristocratic mercenary captain, there were some people discussing the same in a manor in the Cordillera Plateau, thousands of miles away from them...... The subject of the discussion was her, the new lord who was about to take office.

A rugged man with a beard like a steel needle drank all the wine in his glass, then slammed the glass on the table, and said loudly: "Okay, we are all grasshoppers tied to a line, and we can't run away from you or jump on me." In the past ten years, we have been working well together, but the Cordillera Plateau is about to usher in a real lord, almost all of the qiē in our hands are hers, what will happen, everyone should know how to deal with this matter? ”

"Hmph, what do you mean? The Golden Knights were unable to stop her, and there was nothing we could do about it, so we might have to wait for her to come. Anyway, we've been here for more than ten years, and she can't chew us with our bones and skin, right? I don't believe how capable a yellow-haired girl is. A man with an aristocratic appearance cheered himself up, and several men in the same costume next to him also nodded their heads in deep understanding.

"Hehe, this one is maybe."

An elderly nobleman had a sarcastic smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to dust off the dust that did not exist on his coat, and said gloomily: "All the resources in the territory belong to the lord, this is the unchanging legal principle through the ages. Although the lord has not been in office for more than ten years, the lord's mansion still exists, and everyone knows in their hearts whether the resources we occupy have paid enough taxes. Even if it's done without leakage. The lord still has the right to redistribute. Do you think she's a yellow-haired girl and think she has a chance to win? Hmph, don't forget, she not only has the reputation of righteousness, but also a formal magician, if it is really easy to solve, there is no need to go out to the Golden Knight to solve her. ”

"But even the Golden Knight hasn't been able to deal with this man, so what can we do?" The man who had spoken earlier was discouraged.

"Humph! That dead ghost is said to be a genius knight trained by the Camille family, but he can't even kill a little magician. That little girl's luck was so good, there were two unicorn knights to serve as bodyguards for her...... It's also strange that the knights of the Druid Church are not very arrogant when they hear about it. It's hard to get out and about. Aside from the internal affairs of their church, how could they suddenly get together with that yellow-haired girl? The rough man wondered.

"No matter how those two unicorn knights got along with her, the two of them alone couldn't wipe them out. The strength of this new lord is still quite good. ”

The elderly nobleman shook his head slightly: "It's a pity." Not a single one escaped. We don't count how much strength she has, and now we can only take one step at a time. ”

"It's easy."

The rough man snorted coldly and said, "Before she comes, we are already helpless." Really waiting for him to come, I think everyone's good days are really over. Herbert, the tax rate of your ship company will be very high, and a large part of the profits will be handed over to our lords...... Oh, and not counting what you owe in the early days, aren't you heartbroken? ”

"Hehe, I'm just making two less money, but if some people can't do this well, the bosses behind it won't agree, I think you should think about how to report this matter to your masters." The old man Herb smiled nonchalantly, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, then raised the wine glass in front of him and gently shook the crimson liquid inside, took a deep sip of the wine, and took a sip slowly.

The rough man choked slightly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then a hideous expression appeared on his face: "Then let's just walk and see, two unicorn knights, are they invincible in the world?" If you want to be a lord, you have to enter the Cordillera Plateau. ”

The others were silent again, apparently all wanting to see what else the man behind the rough man could do to deal with the approaching lord.

Gettysburg Fortress.

"Then we will meet at the gate in three days." Hathaway was very pleased with this conversation, and Spia was very happy with it. Rodtrim made an appointment.

Although this mercenary leader seems a little unreliable, he is indeed very familiar with the Cordillera Plateau. Because the Cordillera Plateau has not been very peaceful in recent times, they are going to move with some other teams first, wait until they leave the dangerous area of banditry activities, and then go on their own to reach Mandi Gaza as quickly and as quickly as possible.

After returning, Hathaway told Barthes about it. Willie and Petro. Hughes was briefed. With three days of preparation, they had enough time to investigate the reputation of this mercenary group, and the results were very satisfactory...... The people here are for Spia. Rodtrim is quite familiar, and he is the leader of an independent mercenary group, not attached to any family, which is the most reassuring thing for Hathaway.

Three days passed in a flash, and not far from the fortress gate, a group of men and horses were converging there, and the scene was quite spectacular. Of course, these teams are obviously divided into several parts, obviously all of them have their own subordinates, but they stay together very tacitly.

There was a cacophony of barking dogs from the ranks, many of which brought their Scouting dogs, ranging from the tall and mighty Cordillera Mountain Watchdog to the seemingly petite and harmless Manstein...... In the absence of the Mage's detection magic and the lack of a Rogue Professional, these dogs are good Scouts, and while their usefulness is very limited, they are still quite useful for the safety of the party.

In addition to the mercenaries, there are many carriages of various styles, most of which are cargo carriages, and some are passenger carriages or private carriages, but there are not many noble carriages, and they are kept at a certain distance from other carriages, which is obviously a bit distinct.

There were also some horse-drawn carriages that looked a little strange, although they were ordinary, but the outside of the carriages were covered with thick iron sheets, which looked more like small mobile fortresses, and the wheels were also thick and strong, apparently specially made.

The leaders of those teams looked at each other's preparations and weighed each other's strengths and weaknesses. (To be continued......)
