The midday sun in summer brings people far more heat than they need.

Although they were hiding in the woods, the Austrians were still tortured because there were various snakes and insects harassing them in the woods.

However, these people did not make any sound for several hours. Even if the centipede tried to get into their nostrils, they would just bite it to death quickly but silently.

They are indeed qualified to claim to be the elite of the Austrian army.

Boss Sirica's subordinates, who considered themselves elite and were indeed elite, did not know that they had been baking in the sun for a long time. In fact, they were only performing the "secondary mission" in Ladislaus' mind.

Of course, they had no reason to doubt, after all, this time Ladislaus sent a large number of elites to assist him. Knight Cassano and red-robed mage Ye Fa'an were strengthened to Boss Sirica, and even had to obey his command.

But Boss Sirica could feel that he had been defeated by Ms. Ye's subordinates again.

After leaving the tent, Boss Sirica really figured it out after a night's rest, that is, the attitude of Nuremberg and Regensburg, the two imperial cities located between Munich and Würzburg, is the core issue in this battle.

The reason is that although Ladislaus did not express any dissatisfaction in his language, if he was not allowed to continue to pay attention to this issue, it would mean that he had failed.

Obviously, although the current work is also very valuable, it is far less important than the attitudes of the two imperial free cities.

Ladislaus suddenly adopted an aggressive attitude toward Nuremberg and adopted a much gentler approach toward Regensburg. This was not due to the intelligence he brought. It only meant that Ladislaus still paid money to the Church of Saar.

A lot of money.

However, Boss Sirica still worked with all his strength to regain Ladislaus's trust.

The target of this operation was the Woking caravan coming from Heidelberg.

According to the intelligence provided by Zwingli, Boss Sirica's men successfully located and captured the caravan. Both Heidelberg and Nuremberg were built on tributaries of the Rhine. In summer, the Rhine has sufficient water, and navigation in the middle reaches is stable.

, but the last leg of the journey had to pass through a tributary with much poorer navigability to reach Nuremberg, so the Woking caravan hired a considerable number of trackers after entering the tributary.

They were taking a lunch break at this time. After several days of observation and tracking, Sirica Boss had completely mastered their daily routine. Every day at noon, including the trackers, they would get a rich lunch of wine and meat. This was probably to keep them entertained.

Let's work hard in the afternoon.

It seemed that although the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate had reached an agreement with Ladislaus, he really wanted to support his fellow believers. He made a sidestep, making sure that Ladislaus would not fall out over this.

He may have calculated that Ladislaus hoped to concentrate on attacking his main enemy, the Elector of Saxony, and would only destroy his small support. Not only would he not publicly accuse him, he would even keep it secret for him.

"At present, the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate has reached an agreement with Austria. This operation cannot leave any traces and must not give the enemy an excuse." Boss Sirica was a little worried at this time, after all, the size of this caravan

There are quite a few hundred people, oh

The large group of troops in the favorable location cannot move within Nuremberg, so they can only rely on dozens of their own subordinates. The victory is certain, but it will be very difficult to annihilate them all. "But the enemy caravan is too large, how can we annihilate them all?"

Enemies, do you two have any suggestions?"

Although Boss Sirica has the right to command, the Cassano knight who is close to the "Protector" and Ye Fa'an who can contact the seventh layer of the magic network should and must be respected to a certain extent.

"I thought the caravan only had about fifty people, but they hired dozens of trackers in the previous towns." Knight Cassano felt very embarrassed. "The number of people doubled, and the difficulty of encirclement and annihilation increased.

Several times, the risk is too great."

The Knights of Cassano had given up hope in secrecy. The Austrians had little understanding of the hydrology of the Rhine basin. The sudden appearance of trackers disrupted their plans.

"No, I can't retreat this time." Boss Sirica could guess that the information about the caravan this time was also provided by Lady Ye's Church. He was very reluctant to rely on the power of competitors to succeed, but he could not accept the information from competitors.

Real, but he didn’t dare to attack. "All the materials seized belong to you two. I will pay you 95% of the value converted into Austrian gold coins. I will also reimburse all the casting materials for Ms. Ye Fa'an this time."

, I must capture this caravan."

"Now that you have made up your mind, I will say it." Ye Fa'an is of course very happy to be able to improve his skills for free. A high-level mage may not be able to make money. But if you don't use money, you will definitely not become a high-level mage. "Actually,

We don’t need to annihilate all the enemies at all. I don’t think this is the order of the Habsburg Cardinal.”

"But we have reached an agreement with the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate." Boss Sirica didn't understand it for a while.

"But just as their actions do not break the agreement, our actions do not meet the standards for breaking the agreement. There must be cronies of the Elector in the caravan. If we kill them all, we will really escalate the conflict.

"Red-robed mage Ye Fa'an understands the ways of politics better than the former smuggler. He has worked in Spain for many years and told her

One fact is that everyone is concerned about the close alliance between Spain and Austria. The Habsburg family has greater freedom than other countries, and the bottom line that can be challenged is much lower. "I assure you, Habsburg Red

His Highness, the Archbishop, doesn’t care if the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate knows that we destroyed his support supplies.”

"Why didn't you say that just now?" Boss Sirica asked. It was indeed his idea to try not to cause trouble to his boss, and he seemed to be petty. "If I don't give you any benefits, you will have to watch the enemy.

Got supplies?!"

"Why didn't you give a direct offer just now?" Mages like Ye Fa'an are different from Austrian agents. They focus on their own interests first and are never ashamed of it. "Don't you just want to keep the loot as a last resort?

?”

Sirika's red eyes flashed, and he stared at Ye Fa'an closely, as if he was about to attack.

Knight Cassano had to stay on guard. Once Sirica boss made an attack, he had to protect the red robed mages. After all, these red robed mages were not only the resources of the Habsburg family, but also subordinates of the Cassus Church and Anna.

.

Moreover, Ye Fa'an objectively allows him to get a little more loot. If he wants to advance to "Protect the Country", no matter how many resources he needs, it is not too much.

Although I don’t want to spend as much money as a lawyer, the nutrient solution to maintain body functions is also ridiculously expensive.
