Chapter 5 Preparation

"So, wait for your family to come over now, right?" Nora said thoughtfully.

"Yes." Eleanor was confident, "As you know, the Holy See cannot restrict believers from absorbing supernatural powers, but it is expressly forbidden for believers to take potions to become supernatural. ”

"As long as I tell them that I am already a transcendent being, my family will definitely help me cover up my heretic identity, so that I will not be forced to risk exposure to marry other nobles, and it will not be possible for me to study in a monastery."

"The best way, naturally, is for me to inherit a fief of the family, so that I can have an income to support myself without worrying about revealing my identity as an extraordinary."

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

"Then you're going to leave us, aren't you?"

Eleanor froze there, as if she hadn't thought about it yet, and then laughed quite reluctantly:

"yes. I'm the Duke's daughter after all, so I can't ...... Be a mercenary for the rest of your life. ”

"Ellie." Nora hugged her gently, her voice a little choked, "I really want you to realize your dream, but I can't bear to let you leave......"

"Nola." Eleanor patted her on the back comfortingly, "Even if I'm gone, I'm still a part of the Azure Sword. In my fiefdom, everyone is always welcome to come back and rest. ”

The two girls hugged each other and shed tears. Medea was tired of watching it next to her, and secretly slandered in her heart:

It's as if you've convinced your family to get the fief.

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

"It's settled." Aske said, "Let's assemble, we're ready to enter the town." ”

"Wait a minute." Medea used psychic communication to make a small report about Eleanor.

"Oh." Asker said.

"Not surprised?" Medea asked.

"Surprised." Asker said.

"Not worried?" Medea asked again.

"Don't worry." Asker replied, "You know where the next few years are heading, right? ”

Medea was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

HRE Civil War.

At that time, the dukes began to prepare for war in an all-round way, and recruited troops everywhere on the territory of the vassals, so how could they have time to divide additional territories for their children?

Sealed to you, you will recruit the soldiers here? You've just become a lord, do you know anything about your own territory?

"Cunning and cunning." Medea smiled and commented, "It seems that I was overthinking." ”

"It has nothing to do with the cunning of the old man." Aske said, "The times have the trend of the times, and people cannot move against the tide. ”

"In the next few years, being a mercenary can reap the greatest benefits, because they wander around, participate in the mutations in various parts of the continent, and grab extraordinary power from it, and quickly improve their level and strength."

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

"As the overall strength of the feudal lords and mercenaries overturns, a new storm will soon be lifted. Don't look at the attitude of the family that Eleanor still needs to care about now, in a few years, maybe the entire family will have to rely on her existence to maintain. ”

"Really?" Medea was also a little moved when she heard this, "Then wouldn't I be able to ...... too?"

"As long as you reach the demigod level, no matter which country you serve in a few years, it will be absolutely no problem to obtain the status of a great noble." "Of course, at that time, the title is no longer important, what matters is how to ensure that your level continues to grow and not fall behind in the competition of the world's top transcendents. ”

"After all, strength is everything."

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

"Yes." "Let's go as soon as possible. ”

——————

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

This mutation is handled by the mercenaries.

The reason is simple. Ordinary people are powerless when it comes to transcendent deviance.

Asking the Holy See to send the Knights Templar is the quickest way to do it, followed by finding a veteran transcendent.

However, Emperor Otto of the Holy Solomon Empire had an extremely bad relationship with the Holy See. The Duke of Carinthia did not choose to report to the Holy See and bring in the Knights Templar to his own territory to resolve the mutation, as if he had already made his attitude clear - he chose to support His Majesty Emperor Otto.

Of course, this was only a subtle political statement, and it did not allow the Holy See to expel him.

However, if the Duke of Carinthia allowed his transcendents to appear in public, the Holy See would inevitably see it as a heretical provocation and break with the Duchy of Carinthia.

Therefore, the Duke of Carinthia did not plan to seek the Holy See, nor could he use the power of the transcendents that he had cultivated privately, so seeking the help of mercenaries was the fastest way.

Mercenaries are undisciplined. They have no ID cards, no hukou, and wander back and forth between major countries, even if they accidentally reveal the identity of someone in the group who is extraordinary, then it is a big deal to set off a chase with the local Templars and demon hunters.

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

When the time comes, flee to other countries and live incognito for a few years, the Holy See will not mobilize the forces of the whole continent to investigate and arrest a small transcendent.

Therefore, the Duke of Carinthia paid for the mercenaries to solve the mutation while taking the risk of exposing their own heresy, and the two sides reached a win-win choice.

The mercenary groups that participated in this mutation suppression, except for the Azure Sword and the Iron Cross.

There is also the West Francian "Wind of Freedom" mercenary group that they dealt with last time.

Vinis "Golden Bullet" mercenary group.

Iberian "Bull" mercenary group.

Kalmar "Viking" mercenary group.

Britannia "Plantagenet" mercenary group.

In addition to these big mercenary groups, there are also nearly a hundred small mercenary teams that have signed up to participate in the mutation suppression, of course, the price cannot be compared with the big mercenary group - the big mercenary group is to negotiate the buyout price with the Principality of Carinthia, and the small mercenary group is the Principality of Carinthia unilaterally gives a guaranteed price.

As a little-known blue sword, it could only be guaranteed at a reserve price, but Andrea fought hard, and with the reputation and guarantee of the Iron Cross, he also won a buyout price for Asker.

The pay is much higher than that of ordinary mercenary tasks, and it can only be said that the noble lords are really rich.

So the mercenary groups began to enter the place where this mutation took place, the town of Luenfeld, from different directions.

The reason why they chose to enter separately is also for the purpose of secrecy. After all, this is on the territory of the Solomon Catholic Church, and if the identity of any of the transcendents in the regiment is exposed in the battle, it will be very troublesome for a competitor to go to the Holy See to report anonymously.

The big mercenary group disdains to do this kind of immoral thing because of the big tree, and the small mercenary group is difficult to say - the road is very wild, and there will be any kind of strange things.

"Listen up." Standing on the outskirts of Luenfeld, Asker and the girls announced, "This time we'll split into two teams to fight. ”

"Huh?!" The girls cried out in dismay.
