Watching the two leave by boat, Stephanie couldn't calm down for a long time, and she was a little overwhelmed by the negotiations with the so-called Men in Black and the Assassin Brotherhood.

"Phew, things are getting more and more interesting." Stephanie exhaled a white breath and chuckled, but there was some bitterness in the laughter.

"Shieldmaiden ......" I don't know when, Armond has appeared behind her like a guard.

"Those guys are mysterious, I'm afraid they'll ......"

"Will you plot against me?" Stephanie interrupted him and said self-deprecatingly.

"Armond, we have nothing to do with each other's calculations, at least not ......for the time being," Stephanie sighed, it was a sad thing.

"No, Lord Shieldmaiden, how can you say that? Know that you are the heir of the kingdom of Denmaka! Just by who you are......" Armond was a little anxious, he thought that Stephanie might be a little discouraged.

"My identity? I admit that maybe my identity is worth considering, but that's about it, a wandering shieldmaiden is not enough for them to value, unless I go back somewhere, back to the royal capital! Stephanie squinted, as if she could see through the mountains where she had lived as a child.

Amund was silent, and after a moment he gave up on the question.

"Do we need to move locations?" Armond asked again, after all, since the Men in Black and the Assassin Brotherhood were able to come here this time, it proved that this gathering place was no longer so secretive.

"Change places? Hehe, there's no need. I don't know what organization the Men in Black are, but I can guess that this time they were able to find us mainly relying on the intelligence of the Assassin Brotherhood, which has been rooted in Northern Europe for many years, and no one knows what kind of deep background it has, even the encirclement and suppression of the past are gone, even if we change places, we can't escape their eyes, rather than wasting time, it is better to prepare more for future wars. Stephanie shook her head and rejected Armond's offer.

"Armond, the warriors who followed me before have all died in battle, they have died in the realm of the heathen, but I believe that their bravery will be seen by the gods in heaven, and they will go to Valhalla and become glorious warriors." Stephanie looked up at the stars and muttered, it was painful for the Wikipedians to believe in her and think that she was the leader, their loyalty was unquestionable, and now they were all dead at the hands of the infidels.

"Don't blame yourself, Lord Shieldmaiden, I'm sure their souls will go to Valhalla with a smile." Armond said, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Well, they went to Valhalla, and we still need to live for our tomorrow, Amund, I need you to re-recruit the soldiers and gather the rest of our warriors." Stephanie ordered.

Although this village is not big, it has a lot of life, all of them are wiki warriors, and few are old, weak, sick and disabled, which is Stephanie's last heritage.

"I see." Armond nodded, his eyes were complicated, I don't know how many people will die in this war, although Wikipedians are not afraid of death, but no one wants to go to Valhalla like this.

……

Northern Europe is surrounded by the ocean, and if you're lucky, you'll always see some Wikipedians cruising the oceans.

The lonely boat is incomparably small in the vastness, and on the small leaf boat are the fangs of the Assassin Brotherhood and the greed of the men in black.

"The Man in Black, an organization that has just been established for a short time, why should he meddle in the troubled waters here in the Kingdom of Dengmaka." Fang's face was still shrouded in black robes, and it was completely unclear. But greed felt the violence in him.

"Haha, the man in black is just acting on orders, I believe it is not difficult to know our purpose with the intelligence of the Assassin Brotherhood." Greedy chuckled, ignoring the gaze of the person next to him.

Fangs were silent for a moment, then a little jealous.

"I didn't expect an earl to ......"

The rest of the fangs didn't continue, of course they knew that the Man in Black was the organization of the Count of Dortmund, and it was a very surprising thing for an Earl to form such an organization with his own hands.

It is precisely because of this that the Assassin Brotherhood will be afraid of the Men in Black, even if this organization is far from being comparable to the Assassin Brotherhood, whether it is the influence or the size and ability of the organization, but others have official backgrounds, to put it mildly, if they really encounter any trouble that the Men in Black cannot solve, no one knows whether the Earl will send a regular army to intervene, and no one can ignore the military threat of an Earl.

"What you have to do, the Assassin Brotherhood has no interest, we will do what we have agreed, and hopefully the Men in Black...... Don't forget the promise. Fang said solemnly.

"In this case, I suggest you tell the Earl directly, I can't stand for anything, but I don't think the Earl will break his word." Greed is noncommittal.

As one of the seven deadly sins of the man in black, he naturally knows what the Earl has promised, which is nothing more than to allow the man in black to develop in the territory of the Dirmans, or to give a certain amount of protection, of course, this will not be on the surface, as an earl this is just a very simple matter for Carl, but it is very important to the Assassin Brotherhood.

The Assassin Brotherhood had been confined to Northern Europe for too long, the land was barren, full of blood and chaos, and it was not suitable for the development of the Assassin Brotherhood, and they would have left long ago if they had not been stared at by many people, and now they had a chance.

Fangs glanced at greed deeply, and said no more, the high-level of the man in black spoke without leaking, not giving him any chance, he knew that it was difficult to gain anything, so he simply remained silent.

As soon as the ship docked, several members of the men in black who were also wrapped in black robes greeted them, with two bloody daggers on their waists, all of whom were mid-level members.

They seemed to ignore Fangs and sided with Greed, and Fangs ignored them tacitly, making sure that they left no traces, and quickly left, as members of the Assassin Brotherhood were not fit to be exposed to the sun for long periods of time.

"Lord Fang, the leader has an order to return to the town of Skatu after completing this task, where your new mission is located." The leader said respectfully.

"The leader really treats me like an animal, and I'll come back on a mission as soon as I'm done." Greed patted his shoulder and rubbed it again, as if it made him more comfortable, complaining as he did so.

"Alright, let's go back." Although he complained, greed did not mean to procrastinate, he was an old man of the Villain's Guild, and of course he knew how the title of Teresa's Blood Rose came about, it was a rose watered with the blood of an unknown number of people.

The figures of several people quickly disappeared into the snowy mountains, and the place was quiet again, as if no one had ever come.

……

"How's the training going, Amond?" Stephanie shouted, and Amund immediately walked away.

"Lord Shieldmaidens, Wikipedians are brave warriors, and they have been trained by me to be your most loyal and valiant warriors!" Armond said proudly.

"Heh, Wikipedians are indeed brave warriors, but don't forget, our enemies are also Wikipedians!" Theresa didn't hesitate to pour cold water on Amund, he didn't want his subordinates to be complacent.

"Haha......" Amund scratched his head in embarrassment, unable to speak for a while.

Stephanie walked past Armond and looked at the Wikipedians who were still on the training ground, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The Assassin Brotherhood is indeed true to its promises and powerful means, almost every once in a while, a group of Wikipedians who are willing to support her will come here on their ships, some of whom she didn't even know there are such a group of people, so she has recovered quickly, at least not because of the lack of troops, you must know that this time she is dead and wounded in the territory of the Dillmans, but it only took a lot of time to recover.

Not only the Assassin Brotherhood, but even the Diarman nobleman...... Count Dortmund, his promise has indeed been fulfilled, and a batch of supplies will be delivered every seven days as funds to hire the Nordic mercenary group, but every time I think about it, Stephanie is a little uncomfortable.

Karl did give his commission, but these were replaced by food and weapons, not real coins. As if he was afraid that she wouldn't go to the battlefield.

But even if it wasn't smooth, Stephanie didn't show any dissatisfaction, Carl did grasp her weakness, and what she needed most at the moment was food and weapons.

"We need to hurry, there is information from the Assassin Brotherhood that Frida has led his army out of the kingdom of Denmaka for Dortmund, and before that he will reach Baron Villa's territory, which is expected to be reduced to ruins.

Of course, Stephanie didn't have time to care about what would happen to a Dirkan nobleman's domain, and she meant nothing more than to tell the others that now that Frida had led his elite troops away, and that the kingdom of Denmaka was at its emptiest, all of this gave Stephanie a chance.

"Yes, Lady Shieldmaiden." Armond's orders to Stephanie were resolutely completed and were Stephanie's staunchest supporters.

"Frida, Frida, killed my father, hunted me down several times, I survived, and the next thing is my revenge on you, this time, I will definitely use your blood to please the gods!"

Looking at the endless ocean, Stephanie didn't know why her eyes were once again filled with hatred.

The outside world remained calm, and no one would realize that war was coming, except for the Count of Dortmund's military build-up......
