How to Infiltrate Them (4, Bonus Chapter for Patron Solimans)

Vast Cloud Sea.

William reached the summit of the Sea-Separating Mountain. Gazing at the boundless ocean, he took a deep breath, feeling as if he were a celestial being descending to earth.

"Something's not right..." William glanced at his armor and suddenly muttered to himself.

"Sir, just say what you want to talk about, why come here?" Lotner glanced down the mountain and swallowed hard.

A mountain peak of two or three thousand meters isn't too high, but given his current physical condition, a fall from it would certainly be fatal...

He thought of these things because he felt William was acting strangely today; what if he pushed him down?

"Ah, it's nothing, I just wanted to see the sea, to see the water..." William smiled awkwardly.

He plopped down on the mountaintop, ignoring the discomfort, and asked, "Was a Small Town on the border of the Steel Duchy massacred?"

"That seems to be the case, and the reason is quite convoluted..."

"Explain!"

Lotner touched his newly grown sideburns, which were a bit prickly. He plucked a hair and grinned, saying, "It's said that a sheep went missing from the Blackrock Duchy's military camp, and it was assumed that Hunter from the Steel Duchy stole it."

So, in the dead of night, the Blackrock Duchy dispatched an army of 1,000 men, who razed an entire Small Town to the ground. Meanwhile, the Steel Duchy was protesting...

"Tsk tsk, another one of those outrageous tactics has appeared." William stroked his chin, surprised that the Steel Duchy actually dared to make a move.

right.

It was the Steel Duchy that took action against Small Town within its own territory.

They planned to use this as a pretext to send troops to the Blackrock Duchy.

The First Prince of the Blackrock Duchy is now unable to defend himself, the blame firmly pinned on him, affecting his nightlife and impossible to shake off.

But the Dawn City today has a large population, abundant resources, and a powerful military, making it far superior to the Border Town the previous life.

Adding to the existing grudges between the Steel Duchy and Dawn City, William couldn't understand why the Steel Duchy wasn't afraid that he would take the opportunity to help the Blackrock Duchy.

Or perhaps we can sit back and watch the tigers fight, with an experienced hunter lurking in the shadows?

"Does Your Excellency have any thoughts?" Lotner was well aware of the cowardly relationship between the two Human Duchy, Dawn City could not stand idly by and watch either side grow stronger, or destroy either side.

This is extremely disadvantageous for Dawn City.

But there is one fact that William must also admit: the Dawn City is simply incapable of sending troops.

Since Dawn City is ultimately a neutral territory, it doesn't matter if he attacks the Steel Duchy near his territory, or even if he seizes the Steel Fortress.

The ability to actively invade a human nation is tantamount to declaring war, which means abandoning neutrality and being relegated to either darkness or light.

It's important to understand that all Human Countries belong to the Light Faction.

As for wars between nations, whether they are National War annihilation or wars of plunder, as long as they do not cause large-scale mass extermination, the Kingdom to which the people are loyal will not pay much attention to them, and the Temple of Light will not interfere too much.

However, if the neutral territory of Dawn City dares to interfere in the wars Human Countries, then it will no longer be an internal war, but a faction war.

In short, all Human Countries have a father/father...

Neutral Lord are all motherless...

Unless from this day forward, William declares allegiance to a certain Human Kingdom...

Of course, there are benefits. From now on, he'll have a powerful figure protecting him, and he can deploy troops at will...

However, the pressure of paying taxes, handing over slaves, and offering tributes every year also came, and from then on, he was deeply involved in the imperial court and had no choice in his own destiny.

"But if you really think I'm helpless, you're underestimating me. I've been prepared for this for a long time!" William narrowed his eyes, took out Voice Transmission Magic Scroll, and sent a message directly to the regional Emissary of the Mercenary Guild, Roderick, wanting to arrange to meet him at the usual place.

A short while later.

Roderick sent back a message: "Where's the usual spot?"

"The Conference Hall, the place where you sided with the Dark Emissary and let him beat up the Temple Envoy."

"..." Roderick had money, so he returned 12 points.

Inside the Mercenary Guild, far away in the capital city of Blackrock Kingdom.

As the Mercenary Emissary of the Southeastern Corner region, Roderick wields immense power.

Because he was the head of this region, holding a higher position than all the city Emissary, he sat up in bed and patted the naked young woman beside him a few times with his large hand.

'Pat pa pa'

The wife of the Mercenary Emissary from Blackrock Royal City, lying on the bed, wiggled her hips seductively, sat up, slowly put on her stockings and skirt, picked up her High Heels, and ran away...

Roderick twitched his lips. He could sense that he had slept with one of his subordinates' wives again, and he would definitely have to pay the price.

"I guess they just want to be greedy, right?" Roderick understood perfectly well that Mercenary would be a major force in a war between two Human Countries.

The Mercenary Guild Emissary in the King City commands dozens of Mercenary Group. As an intermediary between the Nobles and Mercenary, he could embezzle a great deal of money...

After all, the more urgent the war, the more Mercenary missions there are, and the more he can embezzle.

Of course, Roderick couldn't hide these things from him, so when his subordinate's wife took the initiative to approach him, he couldn't refuse...

"The Dragon Slayer, the Dawn City Lord, the Black Leaf Elf Prince, what is William planning to do? He can't possibly really want to get involved in the war Human Countries, could it be..." Roderick's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something, causing him to suddenly stand up naked.

The little bird was shaking, seemed a bit dazed, and had coughed up a lot of blood...

Roderick frowned in thought. If William really did that, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it.

According to the rules of the Mercenary Guild.

Any Mercenary Group, once it receives a mission, can participate in the wars Human Countries...

"Shit, you want to convince me? You'll have to offer something in return!" Roderick put on his clothes, a lecherous grin on his face, and hurried away.

The war between the Human Duchy is only in its very early stages; it is not yet time for a real war to break out.

Player mostly engage in verbal sparring regarding the border war, since Player haven't become Professional yet...

But people are different...

Ultimately, there will be some Player overwork themselves and level up at an extremely fast pace, even improving their Secret Manual and Skill.

At this moment, within the territory of the Blackrock Kingdom's capital, a dozen or so players from the Millennium Prosperity Club gathered together. They had all become novice professionals, and some even had a set of blue-grade equipment.

Without a doubt, their success is due to the fundraising efforts of their subordinate guild Player. Fans contribute small amounts of Silver Coin to support their idols, and these small contributions add up to a significant amount, allowing Professional Players to save considerable time on leveling up instead of struggling for money.

As the captain of the Prosperous Millennium, Eternal Solitude stood at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild for a long time, pondering. He chose the dual-sword Warrior and did not select Secondary Class for the time being.

According to his plan, if he couldn't find a hidden Secondary Class, he intended to wait until level 40 when his attributes were awakened and then choose a matching Magic profession.

Eternal Solitude, who was already level 12, was in a dilemma. He was thinking about whether he should just join any Mercenary Guild or create his Mercenary Guild.

"Damn it, no matter how I think about it, I feel like I'm getting ripped off," Eternal Solitude suddenly cursed.

The other team members shut their mouths when they saw their captain blurt out again. Who knows why their head coach insisted they come to the Blackrock Duchy? Now they could only drool over the Dawn Mercenary Group's treatment...

"Forget it, let's just build our own Mercenary Group and stay there for now. We can complete more missions, increase our reputation, and then even if the Mercenary Group disbands, we can join a bigger Mercenary Group." Eternal Solitude sighed. Before coming to Human Countries, one couldn't imagine how exploitative NPCs could be...

When he was Newbie, he even got robbed by an NPC while doing a quest. Now that he's finally managed to get a set of Blue Gear, NPCs are still eyeing him covetously, putting a lot of pressure on this Professional Players...

"Yes, Captain~"

"The captain is brilliant!"

"Simp..."

"Holy crap, who are you cursing?"
