Chapter XVI Deployment

"Miss Dark, please help bring a cup of hot water to every gentleman here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Yes, sir, at once."

The maid in the long dress nodded respectfully, her steps were light, and she was as happy as a flower butterfly because of her master's departure.

Chauncy and No. 1 and No. 2 glanced at each other, and decided to pretend that they didn't see anything and didn't know anything, after all, they had seen a lot of the chaos of the aristocracy, Magnus, as a prince, even if it was a dead prince, was just hiding a Jiao, which was simply a rare innocence among the nobles!

…… However, they were all wrong.

Miss Ran Duck was only the daughter of the owner of a nearby manor, and because the family was barely wealthy, Miss Duck grew up quite well, with a delicate face, a plump body, and full breasts, which was quite in line with the aesthetics of Westerners.

But she and Magnus really have nothing to do with it.

Because Miss Duck is a believer in Christ, and Christ preaches that sex and love lead to depravity, Miss Duck tries to avoid all direct contact with men.

In fact, Magnus thought that Miss Duck should have gone to the convent to be a nun rather than come here to be a maid for him.

But he didn't dare say it in front of Miss Dark.

Having said that, he has nothing to eat today, not only has he not had anything to eat, but he has not even washed his clothes, and in addition, some of his unspeakable excrement has not been emptied.

In a sense, the most terrifying thing in this house is neither Magnus nor Odega, but this seemingly powerless maid San!

"There's a little bit of something going on today, about your class to be taught in the evening, you go and practice it again after I taught you yesterday."

When Miss Duck brought the hot water, Magnus said to her, and Miss Duck nodded, and went down quietly.

Teaching, or writing to be exact, was the reason why Miss Duck was willing to stay here as a maid. After all, in this era, there are very few people who can write, and those who are willing to teach a girl to write, I am afraid that in addition to those court teachers in the royal family, only Magnus can be seen.

For now, though, it's back to business.

"Grand Master Changxi, I didn't come to you this time for anything, I just wanted to ask, how are your members gathered?"

"Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness, the Carol Mercenary Regiment has a total of seven hundred and sixty-three members, and they can fight at any time!"

Actually, you really don't have to react so much.

Magnus only asked a simple question, but Grand Master Chauncey, along with No. 2, jumped up from his chair like a tight spring, and looked impassioned and willing to die for you.

But, seven hundred and sixty-three......

Magnus estimated a little in his heart, because he had always looked down on mercenaries, and Odegar was responsible for recruiting mercenaries, so much so that he didn't even know the exact number.

But more than 700 people, no matter what, they also account for half of the mercenaries.

It is really worthy of being the largest mercenary group in France in the past, and even if it declines, it still has such a great weight.

"Well, very well, Grand Master Chaunse, since you said that you can go to war at any time, then please prepare for it with your regiments, because we will go to war soon."

"At war? And with whom? ”

"Is there going to be a war?"

"What about the number of enemies?"

The three completely different answers are from No. 1 and No. 2 and the mouth of Chang Xi, and from this point you can see the difference in the ability of the three of them, No. 1 is more cautious, No. 2 is more reckless, and Chauncy ......

Damn, the occupational disease is committed again!

Magnus secretly scolded himself in his heart, he said that he would not engage in conspiracy, what did he want to do so much!

"I can't say the specific goal, but I can tell you that this time we are fighting for your king, and our actions have the support of the king, and the enemy's strength is as weak as a baby in front of us."

This is not a lie.

The five thousand pounds of silver were spent—another purpose of Lefèvre's purpose was to bring back Louis's five pounds of silver—and Magnus finally got Louis's promise.

Once Magnus was ready, Louis would declare war on Brittany in the name of the King of France, and Brittany's enemy would no longer be Magnus alone but all of France—no different, but it would sound a little more intimidating in name, wouldn't it?

Moreover, with Louis's support, Magnus's actions can be considered legitimate. Magnus agreed with Louis that once Brittany was captured, Magnus would immediately swear allegiance to Louis as a vassal, so that even if Brittany was annexed to France, even if the Pope intervened, there would be no reason for Magnus to vomit what he had eaten again.

However, Magnus paid a lot of money.

Not to mention the British territories that were ceded out, they are all empty anyway; Five thousand pounds of silver, which is a real deal, plus Magnus obtained Brittany with the support of Louis, it is natural that he will be regarded as a king, and will be ostracized by the native Frankish nobility. In order to protect himself, Magnus naturally could only move closer and closer to Louis.

Taxes or something, you can't learn from other nobles not to pay, you can only pay protection money.

"This ...... Everything is as you wish. ”

Listening to Magnus's ambiguous answer, Chauncy was obviously a little hesitant, the Carol mercenary group had weakened to this point, and it really couldn't withstand another blow!

But he gritted his teeth and decided to continue the business.

Of course, it is for the sake of the reputation of the mercenary group, but the most important thing is that Magnus is a man who cherishes his life.

Because Magnus is a man who cherishes his life, he will never joke with his life.

"Very well, Grand Master Chauncey, very well, I can promise you now, when we win, I will take nothing of your booty, all the treasure and gold that you have stolen from the mansions of the nobles. Think about it, what a fortune that is, enough for your mercenary group to make a comeback—"

Wealth touches people's hearts.

With Magnus's seductive description, Chauncey could even see the little yellow ones waving to him. Looking back at No. 1 and No. 2 again, the snorts of both of them were unusually heavy, obviously immersed in imagination.

"However, to get this reward, you have to contribute enough......"

Magnus thought he had made it clear.

What does it mean to make an adequate contribution? For the elite, enough contribution is to kill more enemies, but for cannon fodder, it can only boast of its own number of casualties.

And mercenaries, without a doubt, are cannon fodder.

"Yes, our mercenary group is the best!"

Although he understood Magnus's words, Chauncy still patted his chest, not paying any attention to the people who were about to die.

As said before, mercenaries, cowardly and humble, mercenary lives, are worthless.
