You want to meet me in person? And you have such a bold mercenary group?

"Where are they?"

"He's at the garrison headquarters, with Sergeant Joseph, sir. Do you want me to go there in person?" said Ascalante.

After all, he is the lord and will not do everything personally. However, this bold mercenary group makes Sean quite interested. The place where the rebels disappeared is near the mercenary guild. Perhaps someone really knows.

Of course, what is more important right now is that Sean wants to leave the Earl's Mansion. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome for Filodiwala to stay here all the time. It would be better to let her leave on the pretext of work.

"No need. Since the other party wants to see it in person, it's useless for you to go. It's okay, I'll go." Sean said.

"How can that be possible! The Earl is the lord of Oro City, not everyone can see him." Philo on the side said so.

"It doesn't matter. The rebels' affairs are more important."

Ascalante seemed to want to speak, but after being glared at by Sean, he understood and started speaking for himself.

"Yes, indeed. It's said that the Imperial rebels are quite serious in the northern region. Many small towns in the mountains have become their gathering points. It's difficult for the Empire to completely eliminate them. At one point, they even operated along the border, leaving the country helpless. Oro City is also close to the Adak region, so it's best to kill them within the Empire. Otherwise, once they cross the border, we won't be able to track them."

Sean silently gave the other person a thumbs up.

As expected of someone from the imperial capital, he is not only smart but also sensible.

Among all his guards, Ascalante is obviously more capable and smarter than Dante. Although his loyalty may not be as good as Dante, he is worth cultivating in some aspects. Therefore, he has been the captain of his guards for a while, and Dante is the deputy captain.

"Is that so? These rebels are really abominable. Even after so many years, the Empire still hasn't been able to completely eliminate them!" Philo finally said angrily.

This sentence suddenly reminded Sean.

Many years?

It seems like many years have passed. According to what the Grand Duke said before, it has existed since the early days of the empire. However, at that time it was still the remnant party of the previous annexed country. How could it still exist after so many years?

The Basaran Empire was established two or three hundred years ago. It is normal for there to be remnants of the conquered countries in the early days, but if there were no subsequent channels for replenishing personnel, how would it have survived for hundreds of years?

In the history of the Weigel family

The ancestor who was invited to join the battle organized by the Earl of Koga City faced the rebels.

And that was over a hundred years ago.

And now I still have to face them.

These people are really tenacious!

Or

Never mind, Sean was just making random guesses and there was no concrete evidence to prove that there were imperial officials shielding them, and spanning so many years was not a right that one or two imperial officials could possess.

Although Grand Duke Haruman had always believed that Prince Philip was suspected of rebellion, he did not have the strength to do so at present, and the Grand Duke had not produced any effective evidence. Otherwise, given his loyalty to the empire, he should have told the king directly.

Follow Ascalante out of the Earl's Palace and head to the headquarters of the city garrison.

With Sean's current financial situation, he is not able to establish a complete Black Feather Knights force. The cost is too high and the leader of the knights himself has not yet decided whether Joseph or Ascalante will be in charge. Therefore, the city garrison is relatively mixed and is temporarily led by Joseph and stationed in the southern part of the city.

I guess Joseph didn't expect that I would come in person, and there was a look of surprise on his face when he saw me.

"My lord, you have come here in person."

"Didn't a mercenary team say they knew news about the rebels? And they wanted me to meet them in person before they would tell me." Sean asked.

"There was such a group of people, but I just drove them all away. It was simply nonsense. How could you, my lord, be so busy as to meet them casually?" Joseph seemed a little embarrassed when he said this. Who would have thought that the earl in front of him would actually come.

"Call them back. I want to ask them personally about the rebels." Sean didn't care about these and asked Joseph to call them back.

And I am waiting at the garrison headquarters

Not too long,

I guess I didn't go too far.

After sitting there for a few minutes, I heard someone report that the mercenary group had returned.

There are four people in the team, three women and one man.

When Sean came in, he noticed the levels of several people. They were all above level 6 of the Order. Even the male leader had reached the health point, almost half a foot into the threshold of level 7.

There is actually a team of this level in the mercenary guild, that’s great!

Judging from their appearance, their favorability levels were not hostile, so we could rule out the possibility that they were not rebels.

However, when Sean saw a girl with blonde ponytails in the team, he discovered that his impression of her was actually admiration!

Hey

Did I know this person before?

I don’t think I’ve seen it before.

For a moment, the possibility of Lucille even appeared in Xianen's mind, but this girl only had 6100 health points and no magic points. Even Lucille, who was good at changing her face, couldn't have changed her profession. Judging from the other party's dress, she should be a warrior.

He wore a mix of leather and some chain mail, with a large sword slung at his waist. This type of equipment was quite common among mercenaries, as metal armor, while highly defensive, was also very expensive to maintain, making it unsuitable for ordinary mercenaries.

But the team in front of us is at least composed of people who are above level 6 of the Order. The most important thing is that they are willing to accept some difficult tasks, so they will not be poor.

Who is that person? ! !

"Are you the mercenary team you wanted to meet in person?"

Looking at the situation that appeared above the heads of several people.

Calm! Curious! Excited! And Thinking!

It feels like everyone is thinking different things.

"Yes, yes... I have always wanted to meet you, Lord Earl." The blonde girl spoke first.

Excited! And shy! At the same time.

Mainly that expression

Sean seemed to have seen him somewhere.

Oh, I remember now.

Isn’t this the expression of those star-chasing girls or boys when they saw their idols in the previous life?

I actually have a fan girl?

"Your Excellency, we know the whereabouts of the rebels. Barnier, please tell Your Excellty where the rebels are." The other party actually asked his companion to tell him directly.

This operation not only puzzled Joseph and his companions, but also her companions.

"Hey Latina, we are here to negotiate terms." The girl next to her pulled the other person's clothes.

"What terms are we talking about? The Earl is here!"

“But you asked him to come here.”

"Isn't this what Vanir said?"

Sean frowned and watched the crosstalk performance of the four people in front of him.
