Claire had already answered similar questions several times, and now that Moore asked again, Claire had no choice but to draw a scoop from the gourd and answer as before.

"I didn't pay any price, I hired it normally."

"Normally hired?" Moore's face was full of disbelief and jokes, although the Good Luck Mercenary Group is not the top mercenary group in Three Rivers City, but Norman's strength and status in the mercenary world make the Good Luck Mercenary Group still very well-known.

The good luck mercenary group accepts the task commission, but not everyone accepts it, the statement of high emotional intelligence depends on the mood, and the statement of low emotional intelligence depends on whether the difficulty and value of the task are equal.

This time, it was not that no one of the barons near the Tiling River had considered hiring a group of good luck mercenaries, but none of them refused. Right now, the leader of the Good Luck Mercenary Regiment has appeared in Claire's team, how can it not cause speculation.

Norman, but he hasn't been on a mercenary mission in three years.

Moore thought that Claire didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask anymore, but talked about the ups and downs and the situation of this war.

Several other barons, I don't know when they also came over, everyone said a word, expressed their own hearts, it can be seen that you don't seem to care on the surface, but your heart is still quite bottomless.

It is no wonder that under the notice of Count Wright, the city of Three Rivers has been peaceful for a long time, and on the side of Count Marcus, there have been no wars of all kinds over the years. Although on the surface, it seems that Earl Wright has a certain advantage, but after all, the other party is experienced in a hundred battles, and the outcome of the war, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

This kind of war between the great nobles, if it wins, it is good to say, the interests are enough for the winning side to eat enough, and everyone is happy. But if you lose, basically everyone's life will be difficult for a long time, and it is even very likely that you will directly lose your previous position.

The same is true not only for the big nobles, but also for the small nobles under the command of the big nobles.

Even for the small nobles, the fear of defeat was more serious than for the big ones. The great nobles have a big business and a vast territory, even if they lose some land, they can still retain considerable strength.

But the little nobles are different, and there is only this fief in total. In case it is their own land that is ceded, the nobles who have no territory, even if they are glorious before, it is the norm to disappear after a generation or two.

Not all the great nobles and lords, after losing the war, will seek a new land for their vassals.

Claire ignores their worries about the outcome of the war, in Claire's opinion, the war has not yet started, and the fear of defeat is completely unfounded, rather than worrying about what to do if the war is lost, it is better to save energy and think about how to win.

Claire is still concerned about the intelligence related to the other party's attacking army.

The several barons here are worthy of being old nobles who have been inherited for a long time, although they have not been mixed into the ranks of the big nobles, but for a lot of information among the nobles, they are still invited.

Through the conversation, Claire also got a general idea of the aristocratic coalition of Count Marcas's counterattack.

Among these nobles, there are actually only three baron families that are really powerful, and how much these three families contribute also determines how much pressure Claire is facing.

These three barons are not ordinary, purely according to the strength of the family, how can they be a medium-sized lord, the family's fiefdom, not only the Tiling River, there are other fiefs in various parts of the kingdom.

It is not uncommon for such a powerful baronial family to have fiefs spread across the kingdom, such as More, most of his family is loyal to Baron Wright, but there are also independent lords, and they are also effectively loyal to the lords of other great nobles, because the location of their respective territories is too scattered.

This situation is very similar to that of a certain empire in the Middle Ages of Blue Star that was neither Roman nor imperial. Most of the territories of the nobles are intertwined, and even the big nobles rarely connect all the territories in the true sense, and there are often various enclaves.

Just like Baron Wright, who is already one of the great princes in the east, there are still many enclaves on the east coast of the kingdom, and it is more than a month away from Trois-Rivières City, which is almost impossible to supervise, and can only collect some symbolic taxes.

These three baron families don't know how much they value the territory near the Tilin River, if they do, spend some time recruiting the main force of the family, maybe the army they put together is far beyond the ability of the Watch Alliance to resist.

However, after careful analysis of the intelligence, Claire felt that this was unlikely. As a powerful baronial family, it is natural to know that the big war between Count Wright and Count Marcus is inevitable.

As the top baron family, their idea should be to seek a higher title and consolidate the territory, and it is unwise and not in their interests to take sides in the war between the great nobles.

Claire's guess was right, the three powerful baron families were a little annoyed by the loss of the territory near the Tiling River, but they didn't care too much.

The strength of the family has reached their level, and sometimes even big nobles like Count Wright and Count Marcus will give them a certain amount of face.

They plan to sit on the sidelines in this war, and wait until the war is over, and then spend money to "redeem" their own territory.

Buying a territory with money is not uncommon, and it often happens among the nobility, and the uncertainty of standing in line with the big nobles is more uncomfortable than the consumption of wealth.

You must know that the reason why the so-called baron family can be strong depends on the right and left sources and the two offenses among the great nobles.

It's just that Claire and the barons present didn't expect that in order to win, Walter, the brother-in-law of the Count of Marcas, actually made a condition that made it difficult for one of the families to refuse.

"What Your Excellency says, can it be counted?" Baron Phil Mitchelson stared closely into Walter's eyes, trying to see if he was lying.

"Of course it's true." Undeterred, Walter looked at each other for a few seconds before continuing with a smile. "I vouch to you with the credibility of my family, as long as your family sends 3,000 elite soldiers to help me win this war, I will exchange my territory with you and exchange my territory in Lambasa for your family's territory near the Tiling River.

Well, if you don't believe me, we can just write the deed. With the constraints of the contract, you must be relieved.

Think about it, this deal will definitely not be a loss for your family. ”

With that, Walter stood up and walked to the door.

Phil Mitchelson's face changed several times, and his lips opened several times and then closed again.

The Mitchelson family is one of the three powerful baron families. As a member of the Baron's family, Phil knew very well what the family wanted now, that is, to concentrate the overly scattered family territories, and the Lambasa area was the most concentrated location of the family territories.

The territory in Walter's hands is sandwiched between the three territories of the Mitchelson family.

Previously, the Mitchelsons tried to exchange with Walter many times, but Walter's asking price was too high, resulting in unsuccessful, this time, the other party threw such a bait, but the condition was 3,000 soldiers.

Three thousand soldiers is not much for the Mitchelson family, but the political significance is extraordinary, after all, the Mitchelson family also has territory in the sphere of influence of Trois-Rivières.

"What, haven't you thought about it yet?" Walter chuckled and opened the door. "That's okay, Baron Phil thinks slowly, I won't bother, but the army will leave tomorrow, and if I win by myself, then this condition will not be counted."
