Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

"Haha, don't be so nervous. If he was really powerful, I wouldn't come here in person. The red-robed mage smiled and said, "Besides, you don't want to act like law-abiding citizens. You have precedents for murdering nobles, such as those from Wolf Howling Castle. ..hey-hey. "

"I'm just testing your true purpose. The price is right. We brothers would dare to take turns in the Queen's bed."

Hearing that the red-robed mage had revealed their old ways, Xue Hand smiled instead of being angry, put away the knife, and came up to put their arms around each other eagerly.

"You just need to do things." The red-robed mage knocked down the extended hand and sneered.

Mercenaries have no morals and discipline at all, and they are rare beings who dare to murder nobles or even usurp the throne.

The same was true in the Middle Ages in the previous life. Sforza usurped Milan, and in 1066 Robert the Fox was also a mercenary leader and occupied Sicily.

"The target is Baron Field. You can inquire about it. He is a cowardly and incompetent waste. He has few soldiers, or none at all. You find him first, and then kill him. The reward is five hundred gold coins. He All the wealth in my body belongs to you.”

"Oh? A noble without soldiers?" Xue Hand tilted his head in confusion.

"That's bullshit!"

All the mercenaries laughed together.

"I can't wait to turn the baroness or my daughter into a little white sheep and hold them in my arms."

"Come on, can the guy who comes to Maple Leaf have a wife? I'm here to hunt for beauty."

"Hahaha!"

"Okay." The mage interrupted them and added: "I will also assist you throughout the process. I am a second-level flame mage."

The second-level flame mage can be regarded as the cannon of this era, with astonishing lethality.

"It would be best to have the help of a mage, but we won't rush in blindly and fight desperately. Give us some time. We want to verify that what you said is correct." Xue Shou grinned in a greedy arc, "If I tell you The difference is another price."

The Blood Hand mercenary group extinguished their torches and disappeared into the darkness.

When Field took his first step into Maple Leaf Fortress, he heard cheers.

"Look, I say he can come out alive!" The soldier who opened the city gate laughed and twisted the winch hard. He shouted, "Please come into the fortress, distinguished Mr. Baron, we have hot soup and olives here. Wine, sir, come in and have a couple of drinks.”

Many soldiers on the city wall cheered loudly.

Some people are happy, some are sad, and some soldiers are dejected and shed tears for their wallets.

"It's unbelievable that someone actually came out for the second time. Alas, I lost all my money."

The soldier who won the money came forward and invited: "You are our hero. Please come in and have a drink. Our bed is also ready. You have really come out of the north for the second time. Goddess bless you!"

It's so weird that you dare to bet on me, but the feeling of being welcomed is really heart-warming.

"I won't drink any more. Thank you for your kindness." Field raised his eyes. Sure enough, once he arrived at the Maple Leaf collar, the atmosphere changed. Even the soldiers were very carefree, gambling and drinking.

But he was in a good mood and would not argue with the soldiers.

This walk was very easy, and I probably brought a small number of people, 5 people each on foot and horse, 15 slaves, and maids and scissors. With the help of the mini-map and the Chosen One, reach the border fortress easily.

It is worth mentioning that the Maple Leaf Territory border fortress is not considered the private property of the Maple Leaf Territory, but is a joint property of the Empire and the Maple Leaf Baron, with the Empire accounting for the majority. After all, even the wealthy Baron Simon cannot do it to maintain a huge fortress and continuous city walls.

"Wow, it's been a long time since I came to the world of the living. It's so dazzling, I want to destroy it, I want to kill everyone."

Unlike Ashina who was catching up on her sleep, Rosalia, who was hiding in the sword, was chattering in Field's ear.

"Don't get discovered." Field whispered.

"This lady will be careful."

"Sir, be careful. I feel the aura of hostility coming from the top of the mountain over there." Asuna opened the curtain, yawned and pointed out the direction.

"Hostility? Okay, I understand." Field glanced at the mountains in the distance, which were surrounded by dense forests and could not be seen clearly.

In the farewell of the fortress soldiers, Field led the team to Maple Leaf City and arrived at Maple Leaf City the next day.

Maple Leaf City is still the same, three meters high, like a funny city wall, covered with beautiful silks and flowers. But the difference is that the number of homeless people has increased dozens of times.

People with unkempt hair and numb faces were huddled together. At a glance, there were at least a thousand people, and they were crowded. Even Maple Leaf City, which did not like to be defensive, had to send troops and officials to maintain order.

"So many homeless people?" Field was shocked.

"Humph." A pleasant chuckle came from beside Field, "You must have come from the moon."

Field followed the sound and saw an extremely beautiful elder sister. She was wearing caravan linen clothes and had a headscarf on her head. She looked like a married young woman, but her lively appearance also made her look like a girl.

"Absolutely." Field winked at the woman, "Are you willing to help me answer my questions?"

"They are refugees, including refugees from the Purple Gold Empire, refugees from Itavin Province, and of course, real homeless people." The woman shrugged, with disgust in her eyes, "War is always like this, despicable People kill ordinary people who love life for their own short-term interests."

"You're right." Field smiled, "What exactly happened."

"The Purple Gold Empire has been destroyed, and the pagans continue to march westward. The Kingdom of Wallaya, the Trade Alliance in the Inner Sea, the Papal State, and the Hungarian Empire, known as the Shield of Holy Light, have organized the God's Punishment Army, which should be able to defeat the pagans."

"Civil strife broke out in Itavin Province. The cultists took possession of the missing fifth-level artifact, the Eye of Long-cherished Wishes, and raised an army of tens of thousands overnight. The Governor has begun to unite the nobles to prepare for the rebellion. It’s gone. There is no doubt that the Province of Itavin is abolished this time.”

"The situation is changing so fast." Field was not surprised but happy, but there was a look of sigh on his face, "It's so prosperous and the people are suffering, but the people are suffering in death."

"Oh? You actually have such an opinion." The woman looked surprised.

Field smiled lazily.

He smelled profit.

Only with huge changes can we have the opportunity to reap huge benefits.

"I hope you are not someone who loves war and killing." The woman raised her eyebrows and left with the caravan.

Field waved his hand: "Of course not, thank you very much for your help."

As soon as the woman stepped forward, Field waved his fists with excitement on his face.

"The Viscounty of Itavan rebelled, haha, that would be great." Field sneered, "Fulan City is right next door."
