Chapter 200 (2/2)
As he took his seat, a middle-aged man with a cut on his face held out a piece of paper.
“Fill in the blanks in there.”
After filling the blanks in the paper, he handed them over, and the middle-aged man looked at the submitted documents with interest.
“Red wolf mercenaries. A total of 32 members and 10 Expert level mercenaries?”
It was actually the knights were more than intermediate level, but for trying to be less noticeable, they reduced their skills.
But even if it was, the middle-aged man looked at the matters very closely.
“This is the first time hearing the name of this mercenary group, a noble?”
“A fallen noble.”
But the middle-aged man didn’t believe Luke.
What kind of a fallen noble would carry around 10 expert knights with him?
‘It looks like they want to fight for a foreign noble and gain experience.’
In fact, it was a common thing in the current days.
The very day, around ten knights and many nobles, had disguised themselves as mercenaries.
Their purpose was to either gain money or experience in the foreign land which was experiencing war.
There were a few who intervened for political purposes, but that wasn’t the concern of the guild.
The mercenary was a place where they didn’t ask much questions.
“Registration fee is 3000 pesos.”
At the words of the man, Luke seemed a little surprised.
“3000 pesos? Isn’t that a bit too much for the mercenaries.”
“This is reliable as it connects directly with the client and does aftercare too, just a little more.”
When Luke had paid the registration fee and went back to the lodging and knights sent to the information guild had come back.
“Do you know about the new Pope?”
“Yes, basic information, same as I heard in our estates.”
“Yeah? The activity outside? That is the most important thing now. First, we need to check Reina, whether we can bring her out or not.”
“Two months ago, after a miracle had happened in the central square, no one has seen her face. Just once a week, there is a mass at the cathedral, but that was stopped due to the fear of the assassination.”
“If so, should we infiltrate the palace?”
The guards at the place were the Pope was staying was overflowed.
Sneaking in through such guards wasn’t going to be an easy task, and if they got caught, then they were done. They would have to face thousands of troops and hundreds of Gigants.
Among them, the strongest ones of the continent were called Paladins, several were Sword Masters and Sword Sage.
Even though there were a few Gigants inside the subspace bracelet, it couldn’t be possible.
“Uhm, it won’t be easy.”
He didn’t believe that it would be impossible but never thought that the beginning of their operation would be so problematic.
Luke was shaking his head and asked for the political situation in the Holy Empire.
He had received a brief report from Argos, the intelligence department which provided them last minute news.
“There are three areas that are currently in rebellion…”
In the northeast of the Empire, Saxony was seeing an uprising against the Constantine’s factions, Konrad in the southeast and Ranghel in the west.
Some ambitious nobles or the minor seven tribes of the El Kassel declared that they couldn’t join hands with their relatives and recognize the new pope.
Archbishop Constantine sent an army to defeat them. The initial suppression failed due to the incompetence of the commanders and the unexpectedly strong rebel forces.
“The rest of the empire is still quiet, but the Konrad is a problem.”
“Konrad?”
“The greatest granary of the Holy Empire was the Prince and Archbishop, Ferrierd had declared self-independence sometime ago. That is why Constantine seems to be busy dealing with rebels.”
It was stated that Archbishop Ferrierd had possessed more than 50,000 troops and 300 knights. The minor nobles too joined in and the forces he had increased exponentially because of that.
“Good work. First of all, it’s getting too late so get some rest and let’s find out more information tomorrow.”
At Luke’s command, the knights went back to their rooms to take rest.
