Chapter 639
“That’s it, please be sure to convey our request to Count Grayman.”
Marquis Joe Foster was in his study, entertaining a Distinguished guest.
The guest's name is Friedrich List. They have met several times before. At that time, List was still the business representative of Todd Boat Company in the Northwest Bay. The Foster family worked with Have business dealings.
But now Lister is the official representative of Earl Paul Grayman, the most powerful lord in the Northwest Gulf, and what they are talking about is not just ordinary business.
"I will faithfully convey your intentions, Lord Marquis."
Liszt said to Foster respectfully.
Although it was not the first time, he was still filled with infinite gratitude to Earl Grayman. When he came to the Foster family mansion for boating business, he was often greeted by the people who received him. It is an ordinary person who manages a certain part of the business of the Foster family. The real head of the family, Joe Foster, is rare to see.
The only few times we met, perhaps we should call them interviews.
Liszt remembered that the Duke at that time was aloof, and he was just an extremely inconspicuous little person in front of him, extremely humble.
But now I was treated with courtesy by the Duke, still in his private study.
Marquis Foster smiled and asked: "I don't know...what is Lord Grainman's attitude towards this war that took place in the Horn Bay?"
"Attitude?" Liszt responded, "My Earl has sympathy for the oppressed coastal people."
"Oh, that's good." The Marquis seemed satisfied, "If possible, he is willing to send troops Come to help this just war?"
"Send troops? No, no, no!" Liszt shook his head, "Count Grayman is the lord of Aldo, regardless of his personal feelings. No matter how you go, you can't bypass the kingdom. There is no doubt that the earl is loyal to the kingdom."
"Oh, of course!" Marquis Foster waved his hand, "We have no intention of letting Earl Grayman make any overstep. But..."
He smiled and said: "I heard that there is a A group of mercenaries employed by Count Greyman are stationed at Cape Bay, on Lion Point."
"What do you mean?"
"Relative to the traditional army. In other words, mercenaries are a very flexible tool, aren't they? Besides, I heard that the mercenaries were originally composed of Cape Bay people. Okay, can we rent this army from the count?"
"If Count Grayman agrees, there should be no problem. However, I am a little confused."
Liszt asked with confusion: "Our mercenaries only have more than 2,000 people after recruiting some new members locally. Forgive me for being rude, but the alliance army's soldiers are already so short that even these 2,000 people are interested." "
"Oh, of course not." Marquis Foster replied decisively, "Of course not to that extent. Although we have... been a little unlucky recently, our treasury and manpower are sufficient. It's just..."
He smiled, "We have to prepare for the worst case scenario. I hope your mercenary group will be stronger by then."
In Li Si. When Te stood up to leave, Marquis Foster suddenly called him.
"Mr. Lister, has the Holy See contacted you?"
"As far as I know, no." "That's good. Please allow me to remind you a little bit. Countries such as the Corner Bay Church and Collins are extremely conservative and backward. This can be seen from the protracted witch-hunting campaign before. . If they are allowed to occupy the entire Horn Bay, this land will fall into lasting decline and the prosperous city will become lifeless. I think Earl Grayman, who has always supported business, will not like that scenario. "< br>
Liszt nodded, "I will remember your reminder, Lord Foster."

"Oh, my Oh my God! Sevia, you know, I just faced Lord Marquis Foster again, and he was neither humble nor arrogant from beginning to end."
As soon as he returned to the carriage, Liszt couldn't wait to show off to Sylvia who was waiting for him inside. Although due to the reason of renting Lion Point, he has already dealt with many big figures in the Council as an envoy of the Graiman family.
But at that time there was no beautiful woman for him to talk to.
"Really? Then you are really awesome, Mr. Li."
Sevia deliberately protracted her "compliment" he.
But she immediately asked, "What is the situation in the Horned Bay Alliance? Has the Marquis revealed anything?"
As the main force of the Protestant army, the Corner Bay League represents to a large extent the trend of the entire Protestant national alliance.
Liszt said: "This war is still going to be fought. The alliance has a very strong family background, with both money and people."
Although Marquis Foster showed pessimism to a certain extent, even He was already ready to hire troops from abroad - Liszt didn't tell Sylvia. Sylvia was not his colleague, so he couldn't tell her everything.
"Damn it!" Sylvia said bitterly, "What a bunch of trash! They have obviously hit that far, and they can pick off the big peach Collins right now."
Although the Corner Bay Alliance's attitude towards the spellcaster is still unclear, as long as he can punch the church hard, Sylvia will be happy for his victory and frustrated for his failure.
——
On the road leading to Ghosn, a large army was marching firmly.
They are the so-called Skitarii, a large army formed mainly by the landlocked countries of the Corner Bay under the call of the Corner Bay Church to specifically oppose the Protestant Alliance.
At this time, the commander of this army, Webster, was riding on horseback and following the army, thinking carefully about the next battle plan.
Webster was sent by the Holy See to lead the Holy See army to rescue the Skitarii from their predicament. He had rich combat experience.
After arriving at Cape Bay, he combined the troops he brought with the original Skitarii to form a new Skitarii.
Someone came up on a fast horse.
"General, a new batch of ordnance supplies has arrived. Please sign."
"It's finally here." Webster reacted and took the parchment and paper handed over by the other party. Quill pen, scrawled his name.
"General!" The visitor looked at him with great admiration, "Congratulations on your victory in the battle, which wiped away the shame caused by the failure of the North Route Army. I am from Jiaowan. It is said that those devout Jiaowan believers are thanking us.”
The failure of the northern route army refers to the fact that the apostolic army bypassed the neutral states to attack the northern coastal countries, but in the end they suffered a disastrous defeat near Hydera in the Principality of Eton.
"Thank you! But I want to remind you." Webster looked at it. "The victory we just won relied on those large and well-managed ordnance. If we want to continue to win such victories, Please be careful with the gentlemen at the rear.”
