Prince Toros scratched his head and said, "Silivkay? That's the territory of the Greeks.

"This is difficult, the Greeks and I are now in a state of hostility.

"The guards there would not agree to my soldiers crossing the Salev River."

Baldwin sighed and said, "Of course I know your situation.

"And those Eastern Roman guards would not allow me to bring too many guards over.

"Since the Eastern Expeditioners refused to return the territory, including Antioch, to the Eastern Roman Emperor, the Eastern Romans were not as polite to us as before.

"And if there were few guards to be brought over, I was worried that those pirates of Chiriqia who were notoriously untrustworthy would attack me because of greed."

King Toros nodded and said, "Indeed, the pirates here are famously untrustworthy.

"It is said that in the ancient Roman era, these pirates of Chiriqia rebelled, took the money and betrayed Spartacus, and refused to help them cross the Strait of Messina.

"So if you don't bring enough guards, they will definitely deduct your money and your people."

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

Prince Toros and Earl of Edsa Baldwin both frowned and were at a loss.

After a long time, Baldwin sighed and said, "Or assuming that I have never given birth to this daughter."

His wife suddenly changed from sobs silently to crying loudly.

Prince Toros also shed tears of sorrow.

Roger, who had been watching from the side, had an idea in his mind.

So he pretended to be generous and said, "You are so generous to us, Your Highness, the merciful prince.

"And you, dear Count Edsar, are so generous again, and forgive our irrationality.

“And with this beautiful lady, the pain of your loss of your daughter is so sympathetic.

"So whether it's for gratitude, apology, or pity, I think our Catalan mercenary group should do something within our ability to help you.

"And just so happens that the problem you are worried about is not a problem for us.

"My employer, His Highness Boschmond, was Prince Antioch, who was personally enthroned by John, the deputy emperor of Eastern Rome.

“As his mercenaries, we are free to move within the Eastern Romans.

“So, if you believe me, you are willing to hand over the ransom to me and I will lead the team to Silifkay.

"Then we are willing to help you to redeem the prince's granddaughter, the Count's daughter, Miss Alice, from the pirate."

Baldwin, opposite the long wooden table, looked at Prince Toros.

Then he said calmly: "This matter is not as simple as paying ransom.

"Those pirates are unreliable and are likely to be attacked by them when they pay the ransom."

Roger said confidently: "We have come from the Roma territory all the way. Do you think we will be afraid of a few pirates?"

Baldwin thought for a while and said, “I am not a person who is favored but does not know how to repay you.

"What you are willing to do for me is far more than the rude apology you just apologized to me..."

Baldwin's wife hugged his hand anxiously and interjected:

"Let them go, agree with them quickly. As long as they redeem our daughter, any thanks are OK."

Roger said frankly: "In fact, I happened to have something to ask for.

"When we passed by the Roma territory before, we lost a large number of war horses due to the fierce battles.

"If you promised the merchants in the market to sell us 300 horses, we would be very grateful."

Baldwin breathed out and said, "It's absolutely fine.

“In fact, after paying the ransom, I didn’t have enough money to buy all the horses on the market.”

So everyone raised their right hands and promised to settle the matter.

Roger left the prince's palace and followed Danny back to the army's residence.

Mutelyi ran over to ask for credit and said, "I have taken all the houses in this area."

“I paid the residents and asked them to find somewhere else to live.

"In this way, as long as we guard a few street intersections, our troops will be in a safe camp.

“And this place is not far from the market, so it is very convenient for us to purchase supplies.

"By the way, did Danny tell you about horses?"

Roger expressed his affirmation of Muttier's approach, and he said:

"Very good. We must be cautious at any time and not relax our vigilance just because we are in a safe situation."
