Oliver left the mercenary guild and got back on his horse at the door.

His naturally white hair and face scarred from numerous battles attracted many comments from passersby, but when they saw the two long swords behind him, they dared not approach.

What's more, this time the Wild Hunt Mercenaries brought with them only a few experts and a group of cadre-level minions.

He rode his horse quickly towards the city gate.

Because of some celebrations to be held recently, many businesses have hung up red gauze oil lamps.

It is said that this was an entertainment program arranged by Prince Sean.

According to the original custom, the festival should be decorated with flowers or woven patterns of gods, but this time the leader, Prince Sean, felt that the flowers in the desert were too precious, so he encouraged people to use this strange lighting effect to express it.

Through the red gauze, the light red glow looks particularly beautiful when lit at night.

Many people accepted it and decorated their own doorsteps one by one.

"I didn't expect that Prince Sean was so thoughtful. He looks much better now."

Behind Oliver, a female cadre looked around and said.

"After all, Prince Sean is a recent returnee. I recently heard that the artillery that roared in the city last time was also his idea. It was modeled after the National Borg in the Zambutal region. He's quite opinionated indeed."

In fact, many people are curious about this prince who has returned from abroad.

Having lived abroad for more than 20 years and having an aristocratic background in another country, Sean has had many interesting stories about himself since he came back, especially the stories about the Queen back then.

In particular, why would the queen of a country fall in love with a country baron, what methods did he use to capture the queen's heart, etc.

Even Sean himself probably didn't expect his fame to spread so widely...

There haven't been many stories about Prince Mudan and Princess Seriya. Most of them are about how to love the people, how to govern the country, etc.

However, although these things are discussed by the public, they are not the most popular topics.

Compared to Prince Sean’s romantic affairs, there are all kinds of versions!

The two were still talking about the various legends about Sean, but were finally interrupted by Oliver.

"Those are the royal family's concerns. Our question now is whether or not we should join this struggle... You are all people I trust, but you can also see that this situation is very serious. If something goes wrong, no one can escape."

He only dared to say these words after seeing the team had already left the city gate.

The group of people fell silent.

No one stood up and spoke!

"Tell me what you think. I really need an opinion now. If we accept it, we will probably face the crisis of the imperial army. If we succeed, we can choose to escape or relocate. If we fail, we may have to face the imperial army and death." Oliver said.

Over the past thirty years, he had accepted various difficult missions, including one in which he was secretly assigned by a minister to assassinate a noble.

But that was the result of a deal between the two.

Others will cover for you and your identity will not be exposed.

But this time...

It's too dangerous no matter how you think about it, and if you're not careful you might become a national enemy.

But the reward is too tempting!

"Actually, I think we could join..."

"Oh? Tell me what you think."

Oliver looked at a brother behind him who had been with him for many years and said.

"You might not know much about the Southern Continent. The countries there don't actually have many high-ranking individuals. I once encountered some of their mercenaries while I was in the South... Just like in Zambutal, the flourishing of alchemy meant they didn't have the innate abilities we have to improve our strength, so their ranks aren't high."

"Of course, those who can escort the tribute team must be experienced soldiers, but they may not have walked through the desert. That kind of place is not something that anyone can get used to immediately. Our employer must have taken this into consideration when choosing to carry out the operation in the desert."

Most people would not spend the night in the desert. It is not safe for outsiders to stay under the yellow sand, even for tourist businessmen.

Unless there are no cities.

The route taken by the other party this time was obviously different from the last time. It should be a group of new people coming to send them off, and they chose a road with less desert.

"The employer probably hired more than just us. There are probably other teams and organizations, and we are just one of them...so we don't think the risk is as big as we imagined," the man said.

“But we also know very little about employers.”

This is indeed a headache.

Generally speaking, it is best to understand the other party's background before accepting such a task. If you know nothing, it is very likely that what follows is a trap.

"Do you think the employer might be from another country?"

Oliver frowned.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because if a tributary nation were robbed on Jagun's land, the Sun King's prestige would be questioned. And if the murderer isn't caught, it would be very unpleasant for the nations of the southern continent."

"But who among the desert nations wants Jagun to be unhappy?"

"It's hard to say. Although many countries appear to have submitted on the surface, who knows what they are doing behind the scenes."

No answer was given, and the conversation turned to other places.

But Oliver, as the leader, began to think about what his brothers had just said.

…………

Sean had just met with the high priest and asked what preparations were needed for the traditional Jagun celebration.

After everything is arranged, all you have to do is wait for the daily work report.

In fact, the Sun King put him in charge of these celebrations simply because he wanted to have a royal position in the credit.

There is no need to do anything more, the ministers have already arranged it.

I just need to ask about the progress and safety matters... It's a bit like being the commander-in-chief in name only.

In the first few days, I was still lost and put forward a few small suggestions, such as hanging lanterns, giant parades, and other projects that I could think of.

But later I found out that all these suggestions were adopted, and no matter what I proposed, it would be adopted!

Because the celebration will be held in the traditional way of the Adak people, and the added entertainment programs are just to enrich the process.

OK~

Everyone thought they were playing monkey tricks.

I just stopped talking later and just focused on listening to the arrangement report.

"Your Highness seems to be free again these days." Mi'er beside him always asked.

“Hehe~”

"What do you mean, hehe? I just feel that His Highness seems to be very relaxed recently. He doesn't go out and doesn't take care of things."

"hehe!"
