The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Chapter 495

People no longer reacted immediately as they had in the past.

The first reason was that Ghislain had given them advance notice. The second was that they all knew that trying to dissuade him was futile.

So, they decided to wait and hear him out. After all, he had promised to explain.

Ghislain couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed by their lukewarm reaction.

"Ahem. Anyway, I’ll explain now, so listen carefully. The king and the Duke’s faction are preparing to exchange something."

Information from spies sent to the capital was pouring in at an incredible rate.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The other retainers might not know much, but Ghislain and Claude, who were receiving the reports, had a decent grasp of the situation in the capital.

Ghislain’s expression grew serious as he continued.

"Honestly, we could confront the king right now. But I want to know exactly what the king is giving them. That’s the root cause of this war. And I’m curious about what the Salvation Order is giving the king in return."

Whatever the two sides were exchanging, it had to be significant. Ghislain wanted to uncover the truth.

Claude grasped the underlying meaning behind Ghislain’s words.

"So... by ‘confirm,’ you mean you’re planning to ‘steal’ it, don’t you?"

"Exactly. You got it."

Simply learning about the items wasn’t enough for Ghislain. Without direct access, there was always a chance of misunderstanding or missing key details.
