In the prison in Craefi City, the butler Gikis who was captured by Avi and Selena is on trial. And the only people in charge of interrogation were Fidel and the various squadron leaders of the Potato Mercenary Regiment.

"Senior Fed, this is something that was found from him," Avi didn't tell Selena that this person claimed to be the butler of the rivercastle, and as soon as he and the containment team had bypassed the river, he ran into the church knights who were patrolling the outskirts of the town, and then all the cavalrymen who participated in the containment mission knew what happened here yesterday, "It seems to be his daily tool for dealing with things, and there are some ledgers." Avi searched the butler Gigies, and the things that had been found confirmed the identity of the guy.

Feder already knew what was going on to contain the team, and he immediately asked the knight captain Selena to go to Kiro to restore his life. And this Gigies, who was secretly taken to the underground interrogation room, was known only to the captains of the Potato Mercenary Regiment. The other captured cavalrymen were sent to prison, and that Kiro completely ignored these "gains" of Selena and Avi, and he sent several knights of the Church to the Holy Light City to report the agreement proposed by Viscount Hollis, and even wanted to go back in person.

"Only Selena knows about this person who was arrested, right?" asked Marcus

"The chief knight doesn't know who he is, only Lukka and I know. Avi replied.

The dimly lit interrogation room was filled with all sorts of seemingly murderous interrogation equipment, and Gigies, who was lit by only a candle, had already shrunk into a ball, pricking up his ears to hear what was going on outside. Fidel had been suspicious of the self-proclaimed Viscount Butler before, and now he has caught a "Gigis", perhaps the other party has information about the agreement.

"Don't kill me! I'll pay whatever I want!" Gigis climbed over as soon as he saw Fid and the others walk in, putting his arms around Avi's legs and yelling.

"If you listen to us and tell us everything you know, we'll put you back right away," Marcus pretended to pick up a long whip with sharp nail heads, "but if you dare to lie, your body will be thrown into the river tomorrow to feed the fish!"

"Please, my lords, I have a very young son at home, don't kill me! I can be a guide for you and the Church Alliance, I know the inner workings of Riverland Castle!" Gikis saw that the momentum had eased slightly, and he immediately wanted to "jump" to the side of the Church Alliance, betraying his original master.

Feder glanced at the guy, no contempt but pity. In the current troubled times, it is not easy to save your life, and since you have fallen into the hands of the enemy, it may be a good choice to surrender quickly. Moreover, the butler also said just now that he and those cavalrymen were originally guarding the side of the river in order to wait for the return of Viscount Hollis, and if he was put back now, that Viscount Hollis would definitely suspect that he had revealed information and kill him. So instead of hiding it, it's better to tell the mercenary in front of you everything you know, or maybe save a life in this way.

It turned out that the little man who came to Cravey City alone was Viscount Hollis, and his audacity surprised Fielder and others who heard the truth. And from the mouth of the real butler Gigies, it was learned that there was actually another hand left for this secret agreement - Viscount Hollis had begun to transfer those imperial cavalry to several fortresses near the Split Mountains, and if the Eastern Oguna Empire did send reinforcements, he would let these cavalry appear behind the Church Alliance, and then flank the Papal States army with the Imperial reinforcements from the east.

It all stems from Greencor's ambiguous attitude. As the capital of the East Oguna Empire, the message to Viscount Hollis from there was always weak and useless, and the Imperial Chancellor, who held great power, did not express his intention to abandon the Transodeon region, nor did he specify a date for sending reinforcements. This attitude disappointed the lords of the Riverland, and many nobles thought that this was a sign that the East Oguna Empire had abandoned them, and hoped that Viscount Hollis, who was in charge of the area, would make the right choice.

But Viscount Hollis had been in the service of Grimmko for generations, and it was impossible to get him to defect immediately to the Papal States or the Empire of Theoguna. Gigis said that his master, Viscount Hollis, intended to trust the Imperial Prime Minister one more time and come to the rescue of Riverland Castle in the northwest corner of the empire at the last moment, so he came up with a secret agreement with the Church Alliance, in order to give the Riverlord more options.

When the butler Gikis said this, he burst into tears, saying that his master, Viscount Hollis, was really a good lord who thought about the people, and the reason why he would keep a hand was just a helpless move. Gikis also said that if the Eastern Oguna Empire really ruthlessly abandoned the civilians of the River, Viscount Hollis would definitely give the Riverside region his hands to the Papal States, giving up this passage to the eastern continent.

After listening to Gigies's account, Fid and the other squadron leaders had an urgent consultation in another room.

"In my opinion, this Gigis is so greedy for life and afraid of death, he can't be trusted!" Greif stood behind Klesh, his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes full of distrust.

Avi spread his hands and said, "But I asked the captured Imperial cavalry, and they all said that Viscount Hollis was a well-known lover of his people, and that he had evacuated all the civilians of Crafeld City, wasn't that the best proof of this?"

"Then why didn't he take the people of Lutu City and Hana City with him?" Greif asked rhetorically, "Besides, if he really loves his people like a son, he should surrender directly and unconditionally, and not let the civilians of this riverside region be implicated in the whirlpool of war." ”

Marcus also agreed with Greif's words, "I think it's better not to let this guy go, and then we will send our own people, ambush the place where the agreement was signed, and catch that Viscount Hollis!"

The one-eyed captain's proposal was approved by his brother and Greif, and in doing so, even if Viscount Hollis was able, he would be able to bring the area into the Papal States.

Kesi said another opinion: "I think it's better to leave this matter to the Pope and the archbishop to deal with, anyway, they have been fighting among themselves, and they decide to deal with the Riverside Castle as they do, and we just need to preserve our strength and don't care too much." ”

Fid had thought about staying alone before, after all, it was only after Arturus and Kiro's reckless advance that he really realized that these mercenaries of the Church Alliance were nothing more than a rabble. On the other hand, the other party's Viscount Hollis has both courage and courage, if it is not for the suppression of the other party in terms of troops, the result is really hard to say. However, because the Church Alliance had fallen into the trap of the Viscount before, Fei De still had doubts about the true intentions behind the Viscount. And Giggies, who was interrogated by everyone just now, can't be trusted, and it would be best if he could verify what he said.

"I'm going to tell Deputy Head Rashad about this first," Fei De suddenly remembered the sincere young Deputy Head of the Order, "and now he has the power of the Knights of the Church, and if he wants to take precautions, they should do it." "This secret agreement is led by the Knight Chief Kiro, maybe the Pope's forces will not know about it, and it is a good way to let the deputy head of the regiment who is on the side of the Pope, Rashad, also know about this matter.
