Chapter 7 Tulip Chamber of Commerce

According to the [Lord Law] of the Glorious Empire, nobles who lost their fiefdoms will be deprived of their titles.

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

That is to regain the fiefdom with your own strength.

Otherwise, even if the fiefdom is regained, it will be rewarded to regain the new nobles who made contributions in the war, rather than to return it to the old lord.

Such a rule of survival of the fittest also ensures the metabolic function of the imperial aristocratic system and prevents the emergence of aristocratic scum who only relies on the shade of ancestors to live and wait for death.

The real Kahn Suduo chose to go to the Eagle Deserted City to find the Earl of Uman instead of the prince of the Suduo family, Duke Saint Hield, which was also considering this.

If you go to find Duke Saint Hield, even if the Duke sends troops to recover Ice Rock City, it will not be returned to the Su Duo family.

It is different to find his uncle, Earl Uman. Although Earl Uman will not ask for help from Kahn without asking for rewards, he will definitely take a little care of his relationship with the Su Duo family.

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

Now, the real Kahn doesn't know how he is discussing with his uncle, but Colin's fake Kahn Knight has already had a sponsor.

"Mr. Oliver, thank you very much for your kindness. However, forming an army that can conquer cities and land is different from recruiting a mercenary group to escort a caravan. The cost required for both is not the same."

"Of course I understand." Oliver smiled, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. "My father was once a quartermaster officer, but later he was dismissed for making some mistakes. However, I also have a little understanding of the cost of a real army."

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

If Oliver was a crazy speculator who was ignorant in Colin's heart, now he has transformed into a bold crazy speculator.

Although he knew he was a fake, Colin was still interested and wanted to explore the background of this not-stunning businessman:

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

"Hehe, that's right, of course I don't have that much money to help you form an army. In fact, our Chamber of Commerce intends to fund you."

"Chamber of Commerce?"

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

If Kahn Knights you are willing to accept sponsorship from the Chamber of Commerce, I can apply to the President.

After that, the Chamber of Commerce will consider your strength and the expenses required to regain Ice Rock City to judge the scale of sponsorship, and of course there will be rewards after the event is completed.”

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

"That's right!" Oliver straightened his chest and nodded proudly, "Two years ago, Baron Billy reorganized his army and recaptured the town of Ice Lake after receiving the sponsorship of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce."

The status of merchants in this world is not high, after all, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy a title.

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

The Tulip Chamber seems to be the best among them.

"So, what kind of reward did Baron Billy give you Chamber of Commerce?"

"Sorry, Knight Kahn, 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, "So, what do you want from me?"

"Hehe, the specific conditions are discussed in detail when you see our president." Oliver replied without missing a trace.

“I need to think about it.”

"Of course, you have considered it and come to me anytime," Oliver added with a smile, "But I can assure you that neither Duke of St. Heard nor Earl of Uman can provide you with more preferential conditions than our Tulip Chamber of Commerce."

"But the help you provide will certainly not be comparable to that of the Duke or the Earl."

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

Colin nodded, suddenly feeling that the tulip chamber was very interesting.

Although he is a fake and does not need the other party's sponsorship, he still asked: "Does your Chamber of Commerce stay in Descent Eagle City?"

"Of course there is, right next to the slave market in the west of the Falling Eagle City. Welcome your big drive at any time!"

Colin secretly wrote down this place for future needs.

Then, he changed the subject and began to chat with Oliver all over the world.

Oliver has been doing business abroad all year round and is knowledgeable. In addition, he deliberately pleases Colin, and the two of them have a hot chat, as if they wish they met too late.

Before we knew it, the night became darker and the camp gradually became quieter. Most of the mercenaries had already rested.

Oliver strongly invited Colin to rest in his tent. Colin refused a little and saw that the other party's tent was indeed lavishly arranged, so he nodded and agreed.

And just as everyone was sleeping, Colin was suddenly awakened by a slight sound.

He immediately stood up, listened for a while, and suddenly woke Oliver beside him: "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 strengthened at night, and even a little noise a thousand meters away could not escape his ears.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

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

"Calm down, don't panic! Light a torch, find companions, defend the alert, and don't leave the camp!" The leader of the Firefox Mercenary Corps, Saru, rang out immediately, making the chaotic camp stabilize.

"I'll go out and have a look." Oliver was worried about the safety of his goods, so hesitated for a moment and ran out of the tent.

Colin also followed him out, and then he saw that the enemy rushing into the camp had already fought with the members of the Firefox Mercenary Group.

He did not join the battle group. After all, Oliver did not pay him a commission, so he did not have to work hard for this fat man.

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

The attack should be a group of thieves, who are very weak, and there is not even a single warrior to enter the level.

There were not many people, about seventy or eighty. I really don’t know where they got the courage to attack the Firefox Mercenary Group camp, which had hundreds of people.

After a little panic in the early stage, the Firefox Mercenary Group quickly stabilized its position and defeated the thieves step by step.

In less than half an hour, the group of thieves finally collapsed and fled in a panic after leaving more than thirty corpses.

"Don't chase, don't chase!" Saru shouted calmly, stopping the guys who were so hot that they were chasing their heads from chasing into the deep forest.

After the thieves ran away, Saru began to arrange manpower to clean up the battlefield.

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

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

"Chew!"

"Gudu, Gudu..."
