When old Pablo took Ask away, the expression on his face was extremely proud, especially when he saw that Turazo still maintained an elegant and indifferent smile, but the coldness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Taking Ask to the Grand Commander's office, Old Pablo went in to introduce him, and mentioned the matter of Turazo calmly, then closed the door and left.
"So, that prince also took a fancy to your strength, Lord Ask?" Deslar put down the information in his hand and looked up.
"Haha." Ask didn't say anything, just smiled, took out the identity document issued by the Holy See from his arms, and placed it on Deslar's desk.
Deslar read the document in silence, and said with some surprise:
"So you are the leader of the Blue Sword... Yes, I have heard of your name. The Iron Cross Mercenary Group once held you in high awe."
The word he chose here was very cautious, "respect" rather than "praise", which shows that the Iron Cross Mercenary Group did not have the attitude of a senior appreciating a junior, but rather regarded the Blue Sword as a rival in the same industry who could rival themselves.
This may sound unbelievable, but considering the prominent status of some members of the other team, it does not seem difficult to understand.
I won't talk about the eldest daughter of the Licinius family. The Holy See favors her very much and has promoted her in Italy. As for the other lady, Miss Eleanor, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group has already discussed this with other colleagues not long ago:
His Majesty the Supreme of the Holy Solomon Empire wants to meet Miss Eleanor.
The specific reason is not clear, but we can probably guess it. It's nothing more than some bloody plot about an illegitimate daughter. Anyway, the people at the Iron Cross headquarters said that if any of the big mercenaries encounter the Blue Sword on the mainland, please tell the local Iron Cross branch, and they will send someone over as soon as possible.
This is a favor. There are not many opportunities to make the Iron Cross Mercenary Group owe a favor to others. Not only the mercenary groups in the industry, but even some small principalities may not be able to ignore this opportunity.
The Holy See in Italy is probably the only exception, so when they were vigorously promoting the achievements of the Azure Sword a few days ago, the people of the Iron Cross did not dare to go directly to Solomon City - the relationship between Shinra and the Holy See has not returned to normal since that war.
If it were Deslar, he would also be more inclined to tell the Iron Cross: The Blue Sword you are looking for has come to our Iberian Peninsula! However, after meeting the leader named Ask, the leader of the Bull Mercenary Group suddenly changed his mind.
Some intuition based on past experience told him that building a good relationship with the Blue Sword might be more valuable than seeking a favor from the Iron Cross.
"Excuse me." Deslar asked him to take a seat, then asked with a smile, "This document should be issued by the Holy See to the royal family of Aragon-Castia to prove your identity to them."
"Why didn't you go directly to the capital of Lerida, or to Valencia to find the city lord, but instead came directly to our Bull Mercenary Group?"
"That depends on our purpose." Ask asked him, "What is the purpose of the Bull Mercenary Group participating in this Undead War?"
