Watching the two people leaving on the boat, Stephanie couldn't calm down for a long time. The negotiations with the so-called men in black and the Assassin Brotherhood made her a little overwhelmed.

"Huh, things are getting more and more interesting." Stephanie exhaled a breath of white air and chuckled, but the laughter was somewhat bitter.

"Lord Shield Girl..." At some point, Almond appeared behind her like a guard.

"Those guys are very mysterious, I'm worried they will..."

"Can you plot against me?" Stephanie interrupted him and said mockingly.

"Armond, we have nothing worthy of each other's plotting, at least not for the time being..." Stephanie sighed, this was a very sad thing.

"No, how can you say that, shieldmaiden? You must know that you are the heir to the Kingdom of Denmaca! Just based on your status..." Almond was a little anxious. He felt that Stephanie might be a little discouraged.

"My identity? I admit that maybe my identity is worthy of their consideration, but it is limited to this. A wandering shield maiden is not enough for them to value, unless I return to somewhere else, to the royal capital!"

Stephanie squinted and seemed to be able to see the place where she spent her childhood through the mountains.

Almond was silent, and after a moment he gave up the question.

"Do we need to move the location?" Almond asked again. After all, since the men in black and the Assassin Brotherhood can come here this time, it proves that this gathering point is no longer so secret.

"Change places? Haha, there is no need. I don't know what kind of organization the men in black are, but I can guess that they were able to find us this time mainly relying on the intelligence of the Assassin Brotherhood. The Assassin Brotherhood has been rooted in Northern Europe for many years. Who

I don’t know what kind of profound heritage it has. Even the previous encirclement and suppression has not ended. Even if we change places, we can’t escape their eyes. Instead of wasting time, we should prepare more equipment for future wars.” Stephanie shook her head.

Almond's proposal was directly rejected.

"Almond, all the warriors who followed me have died in the battle. They died in the pagan territory, but I believe that their bravery will be seen by the gods in the sky, and they will go to the Hall of Valor and become glorious.

Warrior." Stephanie looked up at the stars and murmured. Those Wiki warriors were all warriors who believed in her and thought she was the leader. Their loyalty was unquestionable, but now they all died at the hands of the infidels, which made her very sad.

pain.

"Lord Shield Girl, you don't have to blame yourself. I believe their souls will go to the Hall of Valor with a smile on their face." Amond said, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I accidentally fell into memories again. They went to the Hall of Valor, and we still need to live for our tomorrow. Almond, I need you to recruit soldiers again and gather all our remaining warriors.

Get up." Stephanie ordered.

Although this village is not big, it has a lot of life. They are all Wiki warriors, and there are few old, weak, sick and disabled. This is Stephanie's last heritage.

"I understand." Almond nodded, with a complicated look in his eyes. It's unknown how many people will die in this war. Although the Wiki people are not afraid of death, no one wants to go to the Hall of Valor like this.

…

Northern Europe is surrounded by the ocean. If you are lucky, you can always see some Wikiman sailing warships cruising on the ocean.

The lonely boat looks extremely small in the vast world, but on the small boat are the fangs of the Assassin Brotherhood and the greed of the men in black.

"Why would the Men in Black, an organization that has just been established, interfere in the muddy waters here in the Kingdom of Denmaca?" Venomous Fang's face was still shrouded in black robes and could not be seen clearly at all. But Greed could feel the emotion on him.

The stock is violent.

"Haha, the men in black are just following orders. I believe it is not difficult to know our purpose based on the intelligence of the Assassin Brotherhood." Greedy chuckled, turning a blind eye to the eyes of the people next to him.

Venomous Fang was silent for a moment, and then showed a little fear.

"I didn't expect that a count would actually..."

The remaining Venomous Fangs did not continue. Of course they knew that the Men in Black were the Count of Dortmund's organization. It was very surprising that a Count had personally formed such an organization.

It is precisely because of this that the Assassin Brotherhood is afraid of the men in black. Even though this organization is far from comparable to the Assassin Brotherhood in terms of influence or organizational scale and capabilities, others have official backgrounds. To put it bluntly,

If we encounter any trouble that the men in black cannot solve, no one knows whether the count will send regular troops to intervene, and no one can ignore the military threat of a count.

"The Assassin Brotherhood has no interest in what you want to do. We will complete what we agreed to do. We also hope that the man in black...the Count of Dortmund will not forget his promise." Venomous Fang said solemnly.

"In this case, I suggest you tell the earl directly. I can't represent anything, but I think the earl will not break his promise." Greedy was noncommittal.

As one of the Seven Deadly Sins of the Man in Black, he naturally knew what the Earl had promised. It was nothing more than allowing the Man in Black to develop in the territory of the Dillmans, or providing certain protection. Of course, this would not be made explicit.

Yes, being a Count is just a very simple thing for Karl, but it is very important to the Assassin Brotherhood.

The Assassin Brotherhood has been compressed here in Northern Europe for too long. The land here is barren, full of blood and chaos, and is not suitable for the development of the Assassin Brotherhood. If they were not stared at by many people, they would have left long ago, and now they have a chance.

.

Venomous Fang took a deep look at Greedy and said no more. The senior man in black spoke impeccably and did not give him any chance. He knew it would be difficult to gain anything, so he simply remained silent.

As soon as the ship docked, several members of the men in black, all wrapped in black robes, came up to them. They had two bloody daggers on their belts. They were all mid-level members.

They seemed to ignore Venomous Fang and stood with Greed, and Venomous Fang also ignored them tacitly, and left quickly after making sure that no traces were left. Members of the Assassin Brotherhood were not suitable for being exposed to the sun for a long time.

"Lord Venomous Fang, the leader has given an order, asking you to complete your mission here and return to Scattu Town, where you will have your new mission." The leading member said respectfully.

"The leader really treats me like an animal. I just finished here and another mission came." Greedy patted his shoulders and rubbed them again, which seemed to make him feel more comfortable. He complained while doing so.

"Okay, let's go back." Although he complained, Greedy didn't mean to delay. He was an old man of the villain guild. Of course he knew how Teresa got the title of Blood Rose. It was done by countless people.

A rose watered with blood.

The figures of the few people quickly disappeared into the snow-capped mountains, and the place became quiet again, as if no one had ever been there.

…

"Armond, how is the training of the new recruits?" Stephanie shouted, and Almond left immediately. Guo Kai.

"Lord Shield Girl, all Wikipedians are brave and capable warriors. After my training, they will now be your most loyal and brave warriors!" Almond said proudly.

"Oh, Wikipedians are indeed brave warriors, but don't forget, our enemies are also Wikipedians!" Teresa poured cold water on Almond without hesitation. He did not want his subordinates to be complacent.

"Haha..." Almond scratched his head in embarrassment and was speechless for a while.

Stephanie looked past Almond and cast her gaze at the Wikiman who was still on the training ground, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The Assassin Brotherhood indeed keeps its promises and has powerful means. Almost every once in a while, a group of Wikipedians who are willing to support her will come here on their ships. Some of them she doesn't even know that there is such a group of people. She

As a result, she quickly recovered her strength, at least she was no longer at a loss due to lack of troops. You must know that this time she suffered all casualties in the Dillman territory, but it took only a short time to recover.

Not only the Assassin Brotherhood, but also the Dillman noble... Count Dortmund, he has indeed fulfilled his promise. A batch of supplies will be delivered every seven days as funds for hiring the Nordic mercenary group, but every time

Stephanie felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of this.

Karl indeed gave his commission, but these were all replaced by food and weapons, not real coins. It seemed as if he was deeply afraid that she would not go to the battlefield.

But even if it didn't go smoothly, Stephanie didn't show any dissatisfaction. Karl had indeed grasped her weakness. What she needed most at the moment was food and weapons.

"We have to hurry up. Information came from the Assassin Brotherhood. Frieda has led the army to leave the Kingdom of Denmeca and go to Dortmund. Before that, they will reach the territory of Baron Villa, and it is estimated that it will become a piece of land again.

ruins.

Of course, Stephanie had no time to care about what would happen to the territory of a Dillman noble. What she meant by saying this was to tell others that now that Frieda has led his elite troops to leave, the Kingdom of Denma is now

The emptiest time, and all this just gave Stephanie an opportunity.

"As you command, Lord Shieldmaiden." Almond resolutely fulfilled Stephanie's orders and was Stephanie's staunchest supporter.

"Frida, Frieda, you killed my father and hunted me down several times, but I survived. The next step is my revenge on you. This time, I will definitely use your blood to please you."

Gods!"

Looking at the endless ocean, Stephanie didn't know why her eyes were full of hatred again.

The outside world is still peaceful. Except for the Count of Dortmund's expansion of troops, no one will realize that the war has come...
