"Seriously... Did you defeat the House of Lords again? What about the Marshall Mercenaries?"
I was reading the report and unexpectedly shouted.
But it's quite a shock.
Leon told me that the cautious mercenary regiment had won another clash with the aristocratic army.
Was there a battle to attack the castle because it was said that the castle at an important point was stolen from the nobility?
In addition to local battles, we have acquired a base that combines defense in the future, and there may be further movement.
If mercenaries who are not nobles or knights usually take the land like this, there should be an immediate move to take it back.
But apparently the surroundings aren't that far.
The Reinzats, the hegemonic aristocracy, demanded that each aristocrat join the King's Land liberation operation against the Menmen who had dominated the King's Land, and launched an attack.
Meanwhile, the kingdom of Resolute is moving towards the territory of Menmen itself, not the king's capital.
Because the great aristocracy and the aristocrats who follow it are moving greatly, it is also possible that even if they hide behind and vandalize another land, they will not be able to see it.
Somehow, I thought there might be something similar to the Fontana family.
Fontana had once been missed because the former hegemonic kingdom of Resolute had been attacked by the Alliance of the Three Nobles when fighting with the Urks and the Arrests.
And there is a history of other nobles seizing territory by ruling over victory before coming out with their mouths and hands.
In a sense, the current situation may be close to that.
I don't know what kind of organization the Marshall Mercenaries have, but if they have enough capacity to use the stolen castle as a base to manage their territory to some extent, they may continue to grow.
If you think about it, you might hear from us before the Marshall Mercenaries try to target Fontana.
If it is an organization that can run territory, it may be used as one of Fontana's border guards, or else it may have the option of hiring as a mercenary.
Perhaps we should guide them to attack others, rather than at least being attacked hostile.
Should Gary send someone?
If there is magic like a ninja from the Hermes family, we may be able to break into the castle that the Marshall mercenaries took as their base.
You might want to go inside and find out who's leading the mercenary regiment.
I decided to send Gary out of the scouts and send him south.
"Als, tell us more about the mercenaries."
"Yes, Archbishop Paul. A mercenary unit called the Marshall Mercenary Regiment, but apparently the Regiment Commander recently took over. Until then, it didn't seem like a mercenary regiment with such remarkable results, but it has grown rapidly since the new leader, Naja, came to command it. That's enough to beat an army that includes the current class."
"I see. I have heard that the Heikails were destroyed and the aristocracy around them was invaded."
"Yes, that's right. And it seems that the Marshall mercenary regiment is characterized by the ability of all mercenaries to use attack magic."
"Attack magic... But there's no sign of the nobles behind the mercenaries, is there?
"Yes, the Marshall Mercenaries seem to be on their own as far as we can tell. We don't seem to have any contact with the nobles, but according to scouts, the mercenaries definitely used magic."
"... I see. And the Marshall mercenaries raided the church. Are you sure?
"Probably, but it looks like it's true."
"What a thing to say... I didn't know you were going against the church. But you can't overlook it as a church if it's true. Perhaps the center should move."
When I looked into the Marshall Mercenaries, I realized it was a terrible thing.
Apparently, the mercenaries attacked the church.
There was also a church in the city where the castle was taken.
They attacked it.
The church baptizes people and enables them to use the magic of life under their name.
So basically, attacking the church is illegal.
If you do that, you may accumulate dissatisfaction from the residents, and give magic to the aristocrats and knights, or you may not be able to inherit it it.
But the mercenaries did.
Honestly, I don't understand.
Was there anything you thought about the church?
Or did you have a grudge against anyone in the church?
I don't know why, but it's just a stupid thing to think about, not thinking about the rest.
There's no plan to hire a Fontana.
But there were other creeps in this mercenary regiment.
It is also a secret of the strength of the mercenary regiment, that all mercenaries can use magic.
This is strange.
At least not the Marshall Mercenaries before.
Did Naja, the new captain, do something?
I don't like it.
I can't predict what I'll do next.
Furthermore, I am afraid of having creepy strength in a way that has never been the case with nobles before.
I felt the creepiness I might have told the commander, but I could only wait for a subsequent report.
