Chapter 58 The Bigger the Storm, the Bigger the Fish

"Uberek, Eilhart, and Helmgart, all in opposition."

There are not many words left, but they cover all the major cities in Reikland.

Uberek is the largest city near the hometowns of Windlow and Kruppler. The former certainly knows all the information about this place.

The city existed before Sigmar founded his empire, and has long had ties to the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains.

Uberreik was ruled by the family of Sigismund von Jung-Froed until Karl Franz's father, Emperor Louisberd, sent the Reiksguard to forcibly seize control of the city.

As a free city that had just been incorporated into the rule of Reikland, the signs of resistance against Reikland had never been extinguished.

This also led to Emperor Louisberd placing an Imperial Eye spy in Uberek, who was said to be hiding in the Red Moon Tavern.

However, Franz Lorna, the owner of the Red Moon Tavern, simply opened every room in the tavern and allowed the local nobles to search it at will.

Maybe the Eye of the Empire spy is just a rumor, but it is undeniable that the city of Uberrick is very dissatisfied with Reikland's rule over them!

Altdorf soldiers replaced the town's garrison and implemented the late emperor's new rule.

Now that the late Emperor Louisberd is dead, many of Ubberek's residents remain loyal to the Froeder family.

For the northern city of Elhart, lesser nobles will stir up trouble during this power vacuum, but more savvy politicians will worry about future stability.

After all, Karl Franz, Elector of Reikland, is not as honest as his father Louisberd, and he is not someone who can be dismissed with just a few cents.

If Carl carries out what his father has arranged and completely incorporates Uberrick into the rule of Rickland, who can be sure that Ehrhart City will not be the next Uberrick?

Not everyone can replicate the miracle of Marienburg's independence, but the complete division and autonomy of Ostermark is what the nobles are eager to imitate.

The nobles only want to ride on the heads of others, but they don't want others to ride on their heads.

While thinking, Wendlow looked at the other contents on the parchment.

"Nuln Ironclad Equipment, Theft, Failure, and Interception."

When they saw this thing, Windlow and Mousse reacted immediately.

The two had previously solved the Nuln Heist and successfully returned the stolen Ironclad equipment, but they didn't expect that it was actually done by nobles from other cities.

"Captain Jintelai, counter-espionage, title, banner."

Captain Hans Gentleman is the leader of the Reiksguard Knights of Altdorf. Who is he?

The parchment was burned so badly that there was no information on it except for a few words.

What happened to Captain Jintelai?

Wendlow had no idea, and used the faint light and Mousse's help to slowly piece together the remaining parchment.

And pieced together a few more words from the remaining parchment ashes.

However, because the gap was too large, the two were not sure whether the pieced-together parchment was the same as it was originally.

"The Wolf King supported, supported, and lost."

The clues are becoming more and more confusing, and this is all the information.

If the two of them could have set off earlier, perhaps they could have rescued more people.

But there is not so much knowledge in the world that can be known in advance, so Windlow could only collect the remaining parchment, wrap it up and put it back into the endless wallet.

This is a serious matter. Although it is not completely certain, it is almost certain.

Grunberg, Uberrick, and Ehrhart all showed signs of betraying Reikland.

After all, Marienburg is too close to Reikland. After the neighboring Merchant Council got rid of the rule of the imperial aristocracy, the luxurious life and wealth are stimulating the nobles in the three cities every day.

"Rebellion is certain, but I do not approve of this kind of rebellion."

Mousse held his head high, looking down on this lowest form of intrigue, and then pressed directly on Windlow's back.

"Okay, the facts are clear now. These local nobles wanted to rebel, and then you revealed yourself to be a member of the royal family, so you were assassinated."

As expected of the Lord of Dread, he has a very keen sense of smell on such political issues.

And after finding out the truth, Mousse lost most of his vigilance. After all, the two of them were no longer in danger.

"Wait, maybe you are in danger."

After finishing his words, Mousse pressed directly on Windlow.

Then a night passed, and I didn't know what happened last night. When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the forest.

I saw that the cave dug by Windlow had completely collapsed, and he was now mixing mud with water by the lake, preparing to completely repair the cave.

This is where the two of them will live from now on, otherwise they will freeze to death in the snow and wind at night.

Last night was quite warm indeed.

While Windlow was pouring water on the soil and building a shelter, Mousse was naturally not idle either.

For the dark elf who was good at political infighting, she finally understood why Windlow liked to do business.

Now she also has a deal in front of her.

A very good political deal.

The entire Reikland is now divided into two factions, the Independents and the Electors.

The two are in opposition to each other, and it is definitely a life-and-death situation.

If you join one of the two factions at this time, you will definitely be able to get great benefits.

Considering that Windlow once had a connection with Karl Franz, the Elector of Reikland, and that the local independent nobles had once plotted to murder the two.

The decisive and murderous dark elves naturally know which side they should stand on.

"Wendalo, we have to solve the problem of division in Rick Territory and make a profit from it."

"what?"

These words left Wendlow confused.

He was just a traveling merchant. When he left the village to do business, he vowed to stay away from political struggles.

It is best not to get involved in any political transactions.

After all, if a business fails, the most you'll lose is some money.

But if you fail in the political struggle, you may lose your life.

Moreover, the time in Muteland, he was not making a political bet, but trying to sell the oats at the best price possible.

This time in Glenburg, he was politically targeted because he disguised himself as an imperial herald.

It is a blessing to be still alive and not killed.

If Windlow says he won’t touch this thing, he will never touch it.

"Weak and cowardly."

Mousse was indignant and shook his head repeatedly, thinking that this guy was ready to make a lot of money after so much experience.

"I didn't expect you to be so weak. To make big money you have to face risks. You taught me that."

There are indeed people who are willing to kill people.

Windlow slowly placed the mud brick in his hand next to the cave, which was already half built.

The entire Reikland is no different from this cave shelter.

Only a complete Sanctuary Cave can protect those within it, and only a complete Empire can deal with external threats.

If the shelter is full of holes, the people inside will freeze to death tonight, and the same is true for Rick County.

For the sake of the unification of his hometown, and if Karl was really elected emperor, if he became a royalist now, he would definitely get incredible wealth in return.

"Yes, to make big money you have to face risks. The bigger the waves, the bigger the fish."
