After Ask and Peggy both became demigods, the Blue Sword bid farewell to the Plantagenet Mercenaries stationed there and set off for Valencia City.
Arriving at the Bull Mercenary Corps' base on the outskirts of Valencia, everyone saw a line of carriages leaving the town, led by a young nobleman, riding slowly forward on horseback.
When he saw the group of people led by Cangqing Sword, especially Ask's face, the noble young man's expression froze for a moment, and then he hurriedly lowered his head, shakingly swinging the whip, urging the horse to speed up and get out of the other party's sight as soon as possible.
After three attempts and three failures, Prince Ferdinand no longer has the courage to try a fourth time.
Mier looked at him urging his horse away and sighed. She only heard Ask ask:
"Who is that person?"
The captain, who possessed the intuitive sequence, naturally noticed the other party's complicated gaze, but he had never seen the prince from beginning to end... Thinking of this, Mi'er chuckled and shook her head.
"Honey?"
"Nothing." Mi'er said perfunctorily, "I just remembered something happy."
"Oh." Ask didn't ask anything and continued to walk inside.
As soon as we entered the camp, we ran into the recruiting officer, Old Pablo. The old man seemed to have just drunk some wine, and when he saw Ask and his group, he immediately ran over with a red face:
"Lord Ask... Get out! Lord Ask!"
"What do you mean get out?" Ask's face darkened.
"Ferdinand!" Old Pablo laughed. "That damn prince... get lost!"
Everyone:
After confirming with old Pablo for a few words, Ask finally understood:
It turned out that Prince Ferdinand, who had been fighting for power with Grand Captain Deslar in an attempt to incorporate the Bull Mercenaries into the Aragon royal family, had officially announced his resignation as deputy captain yesterday and left in disgrace.
It is said that the reason seems to be pressure from foreign countries. The Iberian Peninsula is different from Britannia. After all, the latter is isolated overseas and can openly recruit the Plantagenet Mercenaries without caring about the surprise of its friends... After all, the Kingdom of Aragon is still part of the continent. After receiving the diplomatic inquiry letters from the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire, it is said that even the Prime Minister was alarmed.
Under the persuasion of a large group of powerful nobles and the prime minister, the king had to decide to withdraw Prince Fernande and abandon the plan to recruit the Bull Mercenaries.
As the members of the royal faction left in disgrace, the mercenaries of the captain's faction immediately started partying. They moved a large amount of wine and meat from the warehouse and began to celebrate their victory in the base.
Ask continued to move forward and saw that the road ahead was completely blocked, with mercenaries singing, cheering, drinking and fighting everywhere.
"Forget it." Ask sighed and handed the mission contract to old Pablo who followed him. "Help me deliver this to your leader."
"What... is this?" The drunken old Pablo unfolded the paper and found that it was a contract to go to Segovia to support the Plantagenet Mercenaries.
At the bottom of the contract, there is the client's signature confirming completion, as well as the signature and seal of Eric, the leader of the Southwestern Branch of the Plantagenet Mercenaries.
