A day ago.

Ansel Castle on the border of the Duchy of Sunflame in the northern part of the Empire.

After the New Year, this peaceful territory welcomes many guests from afar. There is no other reason - the new baroness who rules the land has become famous.

At first, there were only the great nobles of the four northern principalities, and then the nobles and wealthy merchants of the central part of the empire followed.

Of course, they couldn't see the owner of the castle, Miss Victoria, the "World of Light", who had not yet returned from the imperial capital. However, for the bigwigs who visited the castle, this was not a problem at all.

Leave a kind letter and a valuable gift, and leave an eye or two for the town as you leave, so that Victoria will receive the news as soon as she returns, and the visitors will leave satisfied.

Fortunately, the two managers arranged by the girl, Mr. Mason, a wealthy merchant, and the old man Burns, a former mercenary, are both very shrewd and capable, and although the castle is short of manpower, it is also in order.

Every Imperial Baron who owns land can keep five hundred troops, and the number of people who sign up is increasing. For the local people of Ansel, they can't get into the "Maple Frost Guard" that is said to be in the mouth of the visitors, and it is also a good errand to be a guard at the head of the city. Among them, there are also some chicken and dog thieves who want to clear their identities.

Mason and Burns are strict with the gates. Most people are disappointed. Both Mason and Burns were ordered by the maiden to be scarce rather than excessive. On the other hand, a small number of potential soldiers were given a hint that "as long as they perform well, they have a chance to enter the hundred personal guards".

In fact, if there are people who are expelled from the guards selected by the imperial capital in the future, the girl does plan to choose a few people from this part of the territory. It also happens to put some pressure on my future guards.

There was only one situation that gave the two of them a headache. Some of the visiting nobles offered to keep the men they had brought with them to join the maiden. The quality of these people is much better than that of local recruits, and among them are handsome men and women with strong martial arts, as well as civil officials who are most urgently needed in the territory.

These people were nominally not subordinates of other nobles at all, but free men, and could not refuse, with no reason to refuse, such as the law.

In the end, for security reasons, Mason and Burns left only the clerks sent by Hywell, Duke of Yangyan. The maiden was still nominally his vassal.

……

At the end of the day, Old Man Burns finally had time for dinner. He was not dissatisfied with his current life, and compared to the precarious life of an illegal mercenary who licked blood from the knife, the current job was exactly what he dreamed of. I can't imagine that I can still get such a good errand in my last years.

"Mr. Burns!" Suddenly, a female soldier rushed from a distance.

"What's the matter?" Burns frowned and put down the fork in his hand, "Which big nobleman is here again?" "It's so late......

"No," said the soldieress, "is a lonely fellow, shouting at the door that the Baroness promised him a job. The three of us couldn't hold him down......"

"I'll take a look." Burns stood up. Can't stop the three guards? What's the matter?

……

Compared to those who died in the fire of the manor, Captain Tomman was lucky.

Wei's attack, which can be called "a cannon that erodes dozens of miles", was far away from him, but instead of affecting him who was knocked unconscious by the girl, it woke him up from his coma. He successfully dodged the fire that burst into the sky, and watched the whole process in a smokeless and fireless atmosphere.

Two men who looked very powerful fought in mid-air, and then two more powerful men appeared to confront each other. Captain Tomman couldn't hear their conversation clearly. He understands that it is safe to hear clearly.

Maybe it's better to pass out, Captain Tomman thought.

Fortunately, the two superbosses (the prime minister and the speaker) floating in the air did not notice him, or did not bother to pay attention to him at all. It wasn't until dawn that everyone disappeared that he suddenly realized that he, one of the leaders of the four major illegal mercenary groups of the Five Nations Alliance, and the leader of Tomman who made the children stop crying (absolutely bragging), was completely forgotten!

In fact, the girl did forget about him. There are so many things that have happened, and such an insignificant little role has long been left behind by the girl. As for the new job she had promised to give Captain Tommen...... She didn't introduce herself anyway, so let's wait until Captain Tomman finds her.

What she didn't expect was that this Toman Jun really came up with motivation......

On the same day, he returned to the Five Nations Alliance and announced that the mercenary group would be disbanded (since then, the four illegal mercenary groups of the Five Nations Alliance have been inexplicably broken up by two of the girls). Do the members of the group want to reorganize themselves or take refuge in others to listen to the convenience, anyway, Lao Tzu will not play with you.

Then, ignoring the bewildered members of the group, he traveled south to the empire in the starry night, saying that he would find Victoria anyway.

He doesn't have many clues in his hand, and the most critical one is that the girl said that she defeated Alexei's mercenary group. Able to defeat Alexei's old monster, Tomman believes that the girl is not unknown in the Empire. Besides, how can a person with no name give himself a new job?

I have to say that Captain Tomman does have strong luck. As soon as he stepped into the territory of the Empire, he immediately heard rumors about the "Bright World". This Miss Victoria is a newly rising secret warrior, Baroness Ansel, who has defeated a group of gangsters from the Five Nations Alliance as soon as she took office. Captain Tomman, who felt that his identity was correct, immediately set off for Ansel Castle.

He had planned to hike across the empire to find his heart...... Ahh

But he soon realized that there was so many people coming to Victoria for a job that he couldn't prove his identity......

……

"Tommen!" Burns was taken aback, and hurriedly began to command the guards, "Queue up!" He's a dangerous guy! ”

At the same time, the illegal mercenary group of the Five Nations Alliance, Burns and Tomman, who used to play under Alexei, also fought twice. Where did this guy come from? What about his large group of members?

"Burns, it's you," Captain Tomman snorted, he was already completely convinced of the girl's identity, "think about it, I'm not here to find fault. If I want to break in, these miscellaneous soldiers will not be able to stop me at all. ”

Old man Burns thought about it. That's true...... With these "guards" composed of farmer men and peasant girls, they could not even delay the footsteps of the head of Toman......

"And what are you doing all the way here?" Burns asked suspiciously.

"You young lady...... Ahem, Mistress Victoria promised me a job. So here I am now. ”

"Huh?" Burns looked at the idiot in the eyes.

"Don't 'ha', I'm serious!" Commander Tomman said, "If you don't believe it, go back to the Five Nations Alliance and take a look, Lao Tzu has even disbanded the mercenary group!" I hope ......"

"You said that Lord Victoria went to the Five Nations Alliance, and then promised you a job, so you disbanded the mercenary group and came all the way? Are you crazy? "Burns had a look like you were teasing me.

"The details aren't quite right, but why am I lying to you?" The green tendons on Captain Tomman's forehead were beating, "It's not just the members of the group who Lao Tzu has given up!" Do you know? Those women, crying for me to stay, I left them all aside! All my years of hard work are gone! Shouldn't you have had pity on me before you suspect I'm crazy, Burns? ”

"I think you're crazy." Burns muttered to himself. Captain Tomman didn't look like he was lying. But that's outrageous......

"So, let me in," said Master Tomman, "I know Mistress Victoria isn't here, but I'm sure you're in regular contact. ”

Old man Burns had been at war for a long time. He really didn't want this Tomman to get mixed up with the girl, but ...... He doesn't count. His duty is only to report to the top.

"Come with me." Burns sighed.

……

Three days later, the girl approved the matter in a regular spell contact, and asked the head of Toman to report to the imperial capital on his own (at his own expense). Captain Tomman spent a large amount of his savings to hire a court mage from the nearby Duchy of Snow Falls City, and asked him to use teleportation spells to send him to the imperial capital. So, he arrived at the imperial capital in early February......

He now has a new problem.

The girl didn't tell him at all, where should he go to report?
