"Is the situation clear?"
"I don't know. It's very messy."
"The major duchies are all waiting and watching, and are not in a hurry to take sides."
"Rebellion against His Majesty the Emperor? Is Duke Wolfe crazy?"
"It is said that it was ordered by His Majesty the Pope. There is nothing we can do. Their family's territory is too closely connected with Italy. Once the Holy See withdraws the clergy, I am afraid that half of the Wolf family's factories will have to stop operating."
"Then Burgundy and Lombardy must have rebelled. What about Bavaria? If the Weissbach family also joins the rebellion, how are we going to get back to the Lübeck headquarters? Should we take a detour through Bohemia?"
"The Count of Saxony has not yet expressed his position. However, even if Saxony joins the rebellion, the Hanseatic League will certainly declare neutrality."
"What's the point of declaring neutrality? If Bavaria joins the war, it will only take a word from the Duke of Bavaria to forcibly recruit us Iron Cross Mercenaries."
"Hey, why discuss so much? Can you make the decision? Just wait for the captain's order."
As they rode in the carriage into Carinthia, the mercenaries in the regiment were talking about the matter along the way.
They are all mercenaries of the Eastern Branch of the Iron Cross, and they do business in Khangri, Sirius, and East Solomon all year round. This time, having collected enough frost materials, they plan to return to the headquarters along the Bavaria-Franconia-Saxony route.
However, the sudden outbreak of civil war in the empire changed everything.
Typically, mercenaries prefer war because it brings more opportunities and profits - provided they are on the winning side.
Otherwise, let alone the commission agreed upon in advance, you would be lucky not to be beheaded along with your defeated employer.
Choosing which side to stand on in a civil war is a matter that requires a high strategic vision. However, the Iron Cross Mercenaries are different. As a wholly-owned security company of the Hanseatic League, they must obey the orders of the Hanseatic League.
The Hanseatic League was a commercial alliance of cities located in the northern part of the empire, and it certainly and must be consistent with the will of the Count of Saxony.
Therefore, the choice of the camp of the Count of Saxony is very delicate... Once the Count of Saxony expresses his position and his choice is contrary to that of the Duke of Bavaria or the Duke of Franconia, then the journey of everyone will definitely not be smooth.
Perhaps as soon as they entered the principality, they were surrounded by the army sent by the Duke.
Therefore, the Iron Cross mercenaries can only pray that the old Count of Saxony will hesitate for a while, or that the people at the headquarters will not rush to take sides... At least we have to wait until we return to Lübeck!
As high-ranking members of the Eastern Branch, Andrea and Herman certainly received more information from the headquarters and did not need to be as panicked as the lower-level mercenaries.
The original route through Bavaria remained unchanged, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to have many concerns about this - as to what they were worried about, the people of the Cangqing Sword were not sure.
But the girls are not worried at all. Even if it is a big problem, they will let the team leader worry about it.
It is better to let him worry more than to discipline us.
