Wang Qinian was lying on the soft big bed, and although the wounds on his body were still complaining to him, they were much better than when he returned to the city.

When they came out of the mine, the scuffle outside had subsided.

The slave revolt had been suppressed, and about half of the slaves had died in the chaotic conflict, and the remaining half had fled for the most part, leaving only seven or eight hundred slaves.

On the side of the Dark Merchant, less than ten people escaped including Herman and Valery, including the head and deputy head of the slave catchers, who died in the melee.

The Free City was not easy to feel either, first it was attacked, then in the second half of the slave uprising, and finally when Wang Qinian came out, there were less than 300 people left, even Cleveland died, Heliphon gave him a fatal blow, and before he died, he was smashed into pulp by countless slaves, and there was not even a complete corpse.

Fortunately, there was still a squadron leader who survived, and he commanded the soldiers to guard the remaining hundreds of slaves, and he was also looking for Wang Qinian.

When Wang Qinian and the others appeared, the squadron leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that even Cleveland is dead, and if the city lord's daughter is also missing or dead here, then the squadron leader can only disband the team and escape as a whole.

Although Franklin has always been generous, who dares to guarantee that he will not be angry in this kind of thing, and if Wang Qinian and his party die, there will be no one to prove what happened for the squadron leader, so when Wang Qinian and they appeared, the squadron leader felt like a big stone in his heart.

Next, the squadron leader selected a small group of men and horses as much as possible, and sixty soldiers were responsible for escorting Agatha and Wang Qinian back, and the rest had to stay here to continue to guard the slaves, waiting for the Free City to send people again.

This slave is nothing, but the Mithril Mine, the Free City will not give up, even if only one slave is still working, it means that it is temporarily in the hands of Franklin.

There was a little episode before going back, when the soldiers were cleaning, and now under a collapsed tent, the badly wounded Wolf was lucky to have nothing to do.

Of course, on the way, Wolf learned what had happened from Catherine and Burren Galia, and it was Wang Qinian who cut the rope of the tent, which was considered to have saved him indirectly.

Until the way back to the city, Wang Qinian was in a half-awake and half-dazed coma, although his vitality was endless, but his vitality had been passing.

His state at this time, the sum of various injuries, is like a big leaking hole in a water bag.

The life force absorbed from Heliphon could only maintain the stability of his injuries for a short period of time, and the effect of the scroll that healed minor injuries was even more minimal.

Once the absorbed life force is depleted, his injuries will deteriorate rapidly.

However, Wang Qinian's luck has always been good, and when their group approached Freedom City, it happened to be when Victor was pretending to withdraw his troops.

Franklin was overjoyed to learn that her daughter was safe and sound, and even more terrified to learn of Agatha's story.

This time, because of the Mithril mine, Franklin had clearly realized that there would be a huge whirlpool, and they couldn't avoid it, so they could only use the shape to make themselves better.

For this reason, it can be regarded as a long time of planning, from politics to actual war, as much as possible.

But after all, it is impossible to calculate a qiē, and it is impossible for the real exhibition to be every step as you think.

For example, no one could have imagined that the Dark Merchant would never give up and gather people to attack at any cost.

I didn't expect that the Modo side would act so quickly and resolutely this time, not only did the White Feather Legion come faster than expected, but also secretly sent its deputy commander to arrive in advance, looking for an opportunity to kidnap Agatha as a bargaining chip to threaten Franklin to surrender.

If it succeeds, it will be an extremely difficult choice for Franklin.

The Free City is Franklin's life's work, and he and Wang Qinian, Chris, and Bernhard have been planning for so long, but they are not willing to let the Free City completely fall into the hands of others, and want to maintain its autonomy as much as possible.

This can be said to be his ideal, but on the other side is his favorite daughter, if he chooses, no matter which side he gives up, he may be sad for the rest of his life, fortunately Wang Qinian prevented such an outcome.

After entering the city, Wang Qinian was immediately arranged to be rescued, and Franklin did not hesitate to use the original allocation to his name, and only the remaining two intermediate healing scrolls were used on Wang Qinian's body, which really stabilized his injuries and got out of danger.

For the next three days, Wang Qinian could only lie on the hospital bed.

During this period, Franklin, Chris, and Bernhard all visited him once, and they told him good news.

The Modo army had retreated, and the Asturian royal family had sent a force.

However, they did not come to war, and Viscount Philip was also in the city during the siege of Modo, and he was scared half to death.

Under these circumstances, he finally relented in front of Franklin, and used the method given to him by the royal family in advance, a magic teleportation prop and a communication with the Marquis of Regina in St. Quentin, to report the war in the city of freedom.

At the same time, he claimed that Franklin had already intended to submit to Asturias, so he asked the Marquis of Regina to persuade His Majesty Edward to come to the rescue.

However, the tragedy of the war was far beyond everyone's expectations, and the Marquis of Regina immediately informed Edward after receiving the secret report, and then after receiving the instruction, he flew to the royal army closest to the Free City on the border with his high-level mage's flying skills, and then came to the rescue.

When Regina arrived, the war had already come to an end, and Victor decided to stop the war in fear of the orcs, and the Asturians only added another vote to this decision.

After learning of the arrival of the Asturian army, Franklin sent Chris and Viscount Philip out of the city to welcome Regin, of course, their army could only stay outside the city for the time being, even if the city of Freedom would belong to Asturias in the future, it was only after negotiating terms.

When Viscount Philip met the Marquis of Regina, he told him everything he had seen.

Wang Qinian was bedridden for three days, when both sides were negotiating.

However, judging from the situation mentioned when everyone came to see it, things are unfolding in the direction that Wang Qinian and they wanted.

When the Marquis of Regina arrived, he witnessed the traces of fierce battles, and even the corpses at the head of the city were still there, and the blood had not yet been washed away, which fully demonstrated the strong determination of the Free City to resist.

Coupled with Viscount Philip's own words, the Marquis of Regina believed that Franklin was fighting with the determination to live and die with the Free City.

The unexpected circumstances that he heard after entering the city also made Regina realize that it was impossible to completely insist that all interests belonged to the royal family, and it is said that during the siege of the city, the merchants of the city organized their own guards and handed them over to Franklin's leadership.

Of course, what really made Regina decide was the attitude of the orcs, and in the negotiations with the Asturians, representatives of Rhine and Wolf, Sidiparter and Winston, all appeared brazenly.

This initially made Regina extremely dissatisfied, but then the orcs expressed their intentions, claiming that before, the orcs had traded with the Free City, and had a large amount of goods, and the Free City promised to pay in Mithril coins, but they always owed it, and this time in order to help Franklin defend the city, the Free City owed a pension, all of which were paid in Mithril coins.

The orcs demanded that their present and future interests be guaranteed, so they could not allow the entire Mithril Mine to be given to anyone else until the Free City had paid off its debts.

This is of course a superficial reason, but it is a real implication that the orcs will not sit idly by and watch the Mithril Mine fall completely into the hands of the Asturias.

Before coming, the Marquis of Regina had secretly consulted with Edward, who of course wanted the entire Mithril mine to be owned by the royal family.

However, this would have to be done if the Free City was a direct domain of the royal family, not a vassal domain.

According to aristocratic customs and feudal law, only the resources in the territory directly under the royal family could be fully possessed and controlled, and if it was a domain under the jurisdiction of a vassal, Edward could not requisition the resources in the territory at will.

Although over the years, the royal families of various countries have been fighting against the wealthy families, always trying to expand the royal power, but they have not completely succeeded, and it is obvious that the royal family and the great nobles have quarreled over taxation and the use of resources in the noble council.

Franklin had already shown the bottom line of the war with Mordo before Regina came, and with Philip's advice, Regina had realized that it was almost impossible to turn the Free City into a direct domain of the royal family.

Franklin would resist direct annexation to the death, and the Asturians would only be able to achieve their goal through a war like the one fought by the Modos.

This is not impossible for Asturias, who are much stronger than Mordoco.

The city of freedom has only fought a bloody battle, although it repelled the White Feather Legion, but it must have suffered a lot of losses, and the strength of this force in Regina's hands is not much weaker than the White Feather Legion, this force is led by General Claude, who is also a high-level warrior of the eighteenth level, and Regina himself is also a high-level mage.

But everything depends on the cost, and the loss of the White Feather Legion is not small.

And the attitude of the orcs is even more crucial, whether they will support the Free City to fight against Asturias because of the so-called debt and future trade relations, or will they wait for Regina to start a war and then come out to pick up the bargain after both sides are defeated, which is a rather nerve-wracking question.

Asturias is facing the possibility of being dragged into another large-scale war with the orcs because of the Free City, and you must know that this time there is not one orc tribe, except for Rhine and Wolf.

The Holy War is about to begin, and the troops of Asturias are preparing for a dimensional conquest, and it is not suitable to fight a war with the orcs at the level of a country at this time.

So Regina had to make another choice, which he had been instructed by Edward before he came.

This choice is very close to Philip's boast of granting Count Franklin the title of one of the vassal vassals of the kingdom.
