"Our prices are not cheap," said Alfred.
"Price is not a problem." The other party said, "It's just that the other party is very difficult. What we want is the strongest extraordinary person in Innsbruck."
"Then you have no choice." Alfred said coldly, "Because the strongest ones are here."
This was indeed the truth. He was appreciated by the Earl and the first thing he did after he became the Viscount of Innsbruck was to visit the masters in the city - he challenged all the famous extraordinary people in the territory of Innsbruck, whether they were mercenaries or in other professions.
After building up his prestige through his strength, Alfred brought a dozen of his strongest extraordinary people to join the city defense force, and put together his own team.
In other words, even in front of Count Innsbruck, Alfred could confidently say that the strongest extraordinary people in the entire territory were all in his team.
The other party seemed to have heard of the reputation of Alfred's extraordinary team. After a brief thought, he said:
"I don't really understand how to compare the strengths among the extraordinary people. But if your team is really the strongest in the whole of Innsbruck, then of course we will not be stingy with the rewards that match it."
"Humph." Alfred expressed his disdain for answering the question.
After the remuneration and deposit were preliminarily agreed upon, the other party led Alfred's team to the quarantine area along the tunnel.
"The people you need to deal with this time are actually the Knights Hospitaller."
"The Knights Hospitaller?" Alfred knew something about them. They originated from the previous Crusades. They were a group of armed doctors, or knights with medical skills, you name it.
These people were canonized by the Holy See, so ordinary countries and lords dared not touch them, fearing that they would offend the Holy See and cause trouble. However, now that the Holy Roman Emperor openly confronted the Pope, and Bavaria had confirmed that it would stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor, it would not be a big deal to touch a member of the Knights Templar certified by the Holy See.
Not to mention that according to the information provided by the employer, not all of these people are knights judging by their equipment, and there are less than ten of them. They are probably a charitable organization affiliated with the Knights Hospitaller.
Alfred had no idea about charitable medical care. The other party's willingness to save people for free was admirable, but that was all. Business was business, and since you blocked your employer's financial path, I could only teach you a lesson.
As there is no grudge between us, it would be best if we can avoid using force. We should first release our official identity to scare the other party off. If that doesn't work, we can think of other ways.
After all, this is Innsbruck's territory, so of course we have to abide by the rules of Innsbruck. No matter if you are a Knight Hospitaller or a Knight Templar, a strong dragon will not bow down to a weak snake.
When Alfred followed his employer to the scene, he discovered that there were quite a lot of people, an unprecedented event. The queue stretched from one end of the street to the other, and then went back again.
But it doesn’t matter. They are just ordinary people infected with the disease. So what if it causes public outrage
His face darkened, revealing a serious and stern expression. He ordered his men to push away the infected people who were blocking the way in front of them, while he himself held up his shoulders and walked forward slowly.
