"A hundred years ago, the despicable Bourbons tried to take Edonan's land, but they failed! The brave Edonans won the war! And today, a hundred years later, they are here again! But I believe that the Edonans will be able to defeat the evil Bourbon once again!"

In 1556, in the lobby of a hotel on the Edonan Peninsula, Gross was sitting in the corner drinking cold water and resting, while a troubadour on the hotel counter was passionately denouncing the wolf ambitions of the "Bourbons".

The Bourbons had never been at war with the Edonans, and the Bourbons in their mouths were probably the Bourbons.

Gross scoffed at the troubadour's assertion that Polly had failed in the Edonan War more than a hundred years ago because the country had not recovered after a weak and long war. This time, Polly is no longer what it used to be, and he also brought in Boris, and the chances of winning are even greater.

What's more, how could Edonan, a country that had been infiltrated as a brush, be able to stop it? I'm afraid that Polly and the others were more familiar with the situation here than Edonan himself, after all, these spies have been active here for several years, and the number of people who were found and executed by Edonan was only in double digits, isn't that the best manifestation of this?

Feeling almost recovered, Gross left the hotel, leaving the brastle of the confident troubadour behind him and headed to the handover point to report on the mission.

Normally, after Gross was paid for his mission at the junction point, he would send the money to his relatives in Ralicas, and then go to the city to relax for a while. But this time, after Gross finished his mission at the handover point, he was stopped by the liaison officer, who told Gross that there was a big move recently.

"It's not a mandatory mission, and you can continue to do normal tasks, but the pay for this mission is pretty good, depending on how you choose. ”

The liaison spoke in a tone as tempting as the devil, and the so-called "big move" made Gross realize that the two countries of Boris were probably going to make a big move in Edonan. Come to think of it, they've been active in Edonan for so long, and they can't keep throwing money at it, can they?

"Go, why don't you go?" Gross agreed without hesitation to carry out this "big move", to make enough money before the end of his special physical state, which was the goal that Gross had set a long time ago.

After accepting the commission for this "big move", Gross returned to the northernmost point of Likufu where he had reached the continent of Edonan, where he learned of the next plan, and the dove commissioned the mercenaries to lead the southern Boutu people against Edonan by this time next month.

It can be seen that the dove has invested a lot of money in this plan, transported a large number of supplies and a large number of new mercenaries, and hoarded a large amount of food and weapons to prepare for something.

But after a long time, Gross saw that something was wrong: "If the dove really wants to make a big move against Edonan, why is it so violent? ”

Sure enough, half a month later, Gross noticed that the local government had tightened its spirits, and strangers continued to pour in from the city, and it was self-evident how many of them were official spies of Edonan. And there was a disappearance incident among Gross and his party, and the fate of the missing person is self-evident.

The undercurrents of the Likufu were surging, and the women were holding their children out of the streets, and the whole city was gradually left with only young people. The strings are already taut, it's up to them to break first. And Gross relied on his years of experience to break the habit of being alone, so he did not become a missing member.

After a few days of stalemate, the strings broke, and a week before the riot was expected, the Likufu officials acted on Gross and the others without warning, almost knocking everyone unconscious. Although everyone was prepared in advance, because the mercenaries were born and the organization was not high, they were divided and surrounded by the other party and retreated to isolated strongholds.

The siege then lasted for a week, during which some of the strongholds were breached, and all the mercenaries inside were hanged, some of the strongholds collapsed on their own, and only one of the ten mercenaries who had broken up escaped alive, and some of the strongholds chose to surrender, and Edonan hanged all the mercenaries who surrendered.

This is actually convenient for Gross, because after Edonan officially hanged all the mercenaries who surrendered, the morale of Gross's stronghold suddenly increased greatly, and those frustrations and depressions were swept away, leaving us in a group of people who were still fighting.

But because I was trapped in the stronghold, in full view of everyone, I couldn't hide my abilities, and after a long time, those vicious-eyed mercenaries began to notice my abnormality and looked at me sideways. The reason why they didn't dig into me was because I was surrounded by enemy troops and was in danger, so I didn't have the time to pursue it.

At the end of a difficult week's siege, Edonan's men and men suddenly retreated, and although there were still some troops left behind to prevent us from breaking through, they could not capture our strongholds. Did they make us surrender by besiegement? But there was enough food inside each of our strongholds, enough for us to hold out for half a year.

We held out in our stronghold for another month, and it was only then that we learned from the people of the South Boutu who had informed us that Edonan's army was full of reasons for the retreat, and that a great rebellion of the South Boutu had broken out in Garabon in the south, and that it had quickly swept across the entire coast, and that rebellion had broken out in those areas that had once been the colonial guard of Middle-earth.

Mercenaries are all ruthless characters who beg for life on the tip of the knife, and there are no stupid people who can make a name for themselves, so we gathered together for a long time to discuss and deduce the whole picture of the incident.

For the state, is it the mercenaries who are paid to do things that can be trusted?

In this incident, the "Dove" gathered us mercenaries in Likufu and provided a large amount of supplies, during which he made no secret of his actions, just to draw Edonan's attention to Likufu and attract us mercenaries.

And when Edonan is all focused on us, they will be somewhere else—now the Garaben of the South, to throw their real elite into the riots.

"So we're the dove's outcast?" said one of the mercenaries angrily, still playing with an amber statue in his hand as he spoke, which was one of the start-up funds given to us by the dove, "It's just a trick to invest so much money in the Riku Fu?

"So this guy is just a vest that Boris carried out of his dirty work," the mercenary wise man who deduced this conclusion snorted coldly, "and the dove probably wants to cooperate with us for a long time, so when we get to Likufu, they will say that it is not a necessary mission." ”

Okay, at least I know that I don't have to worry about not surviving the siege, but the next thing I have to worry about has become my own secret exposed.

Although it is the mercenaries who witness and guess their abilities, and the mercenaries will not reveal their secrets if they do not tell them, is it possible? Gross is very confident in the mercenaries' discipline and knows that they will definitely sell them for a good price, so he does not ask them to make any guarantees.

In 1556 A.D., the Southern Poutu rebelled against Edonan on an unprecedented scale, with the Garaben as the center, and later historians believe that Polly and Boris explicitly intervened in the rebellion and financed the rebellion of the Southern Poutu.

The most obvious evidence of this is the Declaration on the Status of Polly's Grove Colonial Guard, signed between Polly and Boris 14 years before the rebellion. In this declaration, Polly agreed to guarantee the autonomous status of the Forest Colony in the country, and to give some of the trade privileges of the Forest Colony to Boris.

Although no clear documentation has been left of the behind-the-scenes dealings between the two sides, various historians are convinced that through this manifesto, Polly and Boris must have reached an agreement to align themselves on the Edonan issue.

As later historians speculated, Gross, one of the parties to the incident, was naturally ignorant, and he was no longer in Likufu, but went to Alexia on the Upper Edonan Peninsula, that is, on the other side of Likufu.

The reason why he was called was because the "dove" wanted to see him, and Gross knew that nine times out of ten, the mercenary who was in the same trench with him in that siege sold himself and told the dove about his unique characteristics.

After arriving in Alicia, Gross was led away by a servant, and then walked around in Alexia to a very hidden corner. In the process of following the servant, Gross found that there was a particularly strong aura hidden in this hidden place, which made Gross tremble, worried that if the talks broke down, he might not be able to leave here.

At the end of the journey, in a simple house, a man with a gloomy face was looking at Gross with a calm gaze that seemed to be able to see through Gross. Rao is Gross is more than twenty years older than this man, and he is also uncomfortable looking at him.

"Gross Anlu, born in Bourbon the Elder, was a private slave of the Germak family, disappeared 6 years ago, and then your family moved to Boris, first in La Pos, then moved out after a few months, and finally settled in Lalicas. And you came to Boris a year later than them, right?"

Hearing what the other party said, Gross's hands and feet were cold for a while, who is this? Can he actually explore his past resume, you must know that you are not a nobleman, but an inconspicuous private slave!

Seeing that Gross was so nervous, the mysterious man smiled first: "Haha, don't be nervous, sit down first, and when you sit down, we will talk." ”

Gross stood there for a moment before he sat down, his posture stiff like a broken robot: "Your Excellency, who is it?"

"Me?" one of the directors of the dove. My name is Hades Lebos, well, I happen to be in the same family as Hades I, the founder of the 'dove' and the second consul of Boris, and I have the same name. ”
