Chapter 7： Tulip Chamber of Commerce

According to the [Law of Lords] of the Glorious Empire, nobles who lose their fiefdom will be deprived of their titles.

But there is also a way to restore the original title.

That is to regain the fiefdom by one's own power.

Otherwise, even if the fief is regained, it will be rewarded to the new nobles who made contributions in the regaining war, instead of returning to the old lord.

Such a rule of survival of the fittest also guarantees the metabolic function of the imperial aristocratic system and prevents the emergence of aristocratic scum that can only rely on the shadow of ancestors to eat and wait to die.

The real Kahn Sudor chose to go to Fallen Eagle City to find the Earl of Uman after his home was broken, instead of looking for the prince of the Sudor family, the Duke of St. Hild, because of this.

If you go to the Duke of St. Hild, even if the Duke sends troops to recover Ice Rock City, it will not be returned to the Suduo family.

It is different to find his uncle, Earl Uman. Although Earl Uman would not help Kahn without asking for a return, he would definitely take care of his relationship with the Suduo family a little bit.

At least, Ice Rock City should return to the Su Duo family's hands.

And now, the real Kahn doesn't know how to discuss with his uncle, but Colin's fake Kahn knight already has a sponsor.

"Mr. Oliver, thank you very much for your kindness. However, the formation of an army that can attack a city is different from the recruitment of a mercenary group that escorts a caravan. The cost of the two is not a concept at all."

"Of course I understand." Oliver chuckled, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, "My father used to be a quartermaster, but he was...removed because of some mistakes, but for the cost of a real army, I too A little understanding."

"Oh?" Colin finally looked at the fat businessman beside him.

If Oliver was a crazy speculator who knew nothing about the heights in Colin's mind before, then he has now turned into a crazy speculator with boldness.

Although he knew he was a fake, Colin still came to be interested, and wanted to explore the bottom of this unsurprising businessman:

"So, how many gold coins can Mr. Oliver sponsor?"

"Hey, well, I certainly don't have that much money to help you build an army. In fact, our Chamber of Commerce intends to support you."

"Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes. Please allow me to re-introduce it, I am one of the supervisors of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce.

If Kahn Knight is willing to accept sponsorship from the Chamber of Commerce, I can apply to the President.

After 　　, the Chamber of Commerce will comprehensively consider your strength and the cost of regaining Ice Rock City to determine the scale of the sponsorship, and of course the return after the event is completed. "

"Tulip Chamber of Commerce?" Colin suddenly felt that the name of this chamber of commerce was familiar. After searching for a while in his memory, he asked, "Ice Lake Town two years ago?"

"That's right!" Oliver straightened his chest and nodded proudly. "Two years ago, Baron Billy was sponsored by the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to reorganize the army and retake Ice Lake Town."

The status of merchants in this world is not high, after all, no amount of money can buy a title.

But obviously, some sharp and bold businessmen have begun to try to expand their influence with gold coins in their hands.

Tulip Chamber of Commerce seems to be one of the best.

"So, what kind of return did Baron Billy give to your Chamber of Commerce?"

"Sorry, Kahn Knight, this is a trade secret, please forgive me for not being able to disclose it to you."

"Okay." Colin touched his chin and changed his question, "Then, what do you want from me?"

"Hey, the specific conditions, you can talk more about it when you see our president." Oliver replied drippingly.

"I need to think about it."

"Of course, you think about it and come to me anytime." Oliver squinted his eyes and added grinningly. "However, I can assure you that neither the Duke of St. Hild nor the Earl of Uman will be able to give it to you. Provide more favorable terms than our Tulip Chamber of Commerce."

"But the help you provide cannot be compared with the duke or the earl."

"Of course, but our appetite is much smaller."

Colin nodded, and suddenly felt that the Tulip Chamber of Commerce was very interesting.

Although he is a counterfeit and does not need sponsorship from the other party, he still asked: "Does your Chamber of Commerce have a station in Fallen Eagle City?"

"Of course, it's right next to the slave market in the west side of Fallen Eagle City. Welcome you at any time!"

Colin secretly wrote down this location for future needs.

Then, he changed the subject and started to chat with Oliver.

This Oliver has been doing business abroad all the year round, and he is very knowledgeable, coupled with deliberately to please Colin, the two immediately had a hot conversation, and they had a posture of seeing each other late.

Unknowingly, the night darkened and the camp gradually became quiet. Most of the mercenaries had already rested.

Oliver tried his best to invite Colin to rest in his tent. Colin stepped aside and saw that the other party's tent was indeed luxuriously arranged, so he nodded and agreed.

And when everyone was asleep, Colin was suddenly awakened by a small sound.

He got up immediately, and after listening for a while, he shook Oliver beside him suddenly: "Wake up, wake up! Someone is approaching our camp!"

Oliver was also quite alert, and quickly got up, but after listening carefully for a while, he wondered: "Really? Why didn't I hear anything?"

"Listen carefully," Colin said confidently.

He found that his hearing was greatly enhanced at night, and even a little movement from a kilometer away could not escape his ears. UU reading

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Sure enough, the mercenaries in charge of the night watch also discovered the enemy and immediately yelled.

"Calm down, don't panic! Light a torch, look for a companion, guard, and don't leave the camp!" The sturdy voice of the head of the Firefox Mercenary Group, Salu, immediately sounded, stabilizing the chaotic camp.

"I'll go out and have a look." Oliver was worried about the safety of his cargo, and he ran out of the tent after hesitating for a while.

Colin also followed out, and then saw that the enemy who had rushed into the camp had already handed over the people of the Firefox Mercenary Group.

He didn't join the battle group, after all, Oliver didn't pay him a commission, so he didn't have to give his life to this fat man.

However, after watching it for a while, Colin felt relieved.

It should be a group of thieves who came here. They were so weak that they didn't even have an advanced fighter.

The number of people is not large, about 70 or 80 people. I really don’t know where their courage dared to attack the camp of the Firefox Mercenary Group with hundreds of people.

After a little panic at the beginning, the Firefox mercenary group quickly stabilized their position and defeated the thieves steadily.

In less than half an hour, the band of thieves finally collapsed and fled in a hurry after dropping more than 30 corpses.

"Don't chase, don't chase!" Saru yelled calmly, to prevent the guys who killed their heads from chasing into the deep forest.

After the thieves ran out of sight, Saru began to arrange manpower to clear the battlefield.

Oliver also hurried to check his goods and count the losses.

Ke Lin quietly walked to a remote and dark corner, crouched in front of a thief's body, and took out a dagger and a kettle.

"哧!"

"Goooo, goooo..."
