Marco is a pragmatist at heart, everything he does serves his own ambitions, even Saya and others, he will approach them, and even become friends with them for a purpose.

For example, Truger, don't look at him stupid, but he is indeed the young patriarch of the Puma tribe. The Puma tribe is a nomadic tribe living in a green wasteland in the Northlands, this tribe lives a nomadic life and mixes with the barbarians, so the warriors of the tribe are brave and good at fighting, and they are also the best source of cavalry.

Marco got in touch with the Puma tribe through Truger, and at the same time used various methods to clean up the hearts of the Puma tribe, so that the Puma tribe had a very good impression of him, and over the years, 80% of Marko's cavalry came from this tribe.

In Saya, for example, she is no ordinary elf, her father is the leader of a wild elf organization in the Viper Forest. The wild elves, that is, the elves without a country, they are the remnants left by the elves during the great retreat, although these elves still believe in the elven gods, but they no longer obey the orders of the major elven royal courts. Therefore, it is contemptuously called wild elves by many orthodox elves, which means savage, backward elves, and savages.

(In fact, it is true that most of the wild elves have lost a lot of elven knowledge, and even the political system has degenerated into a primitive tribal system.)

There are many wild elf tribes living in the Viper Forest, because the Viper Forest is very close to the territory of humans, and the area of the Viper Forest is not too large, only one-fifth the size of Am, so it has been harassed by humans for a long time. (The Serpent Grove is on the edge of the Cloud Mountains, and is an important barrier between Amm and West Hartland.)

Therefore, the wild elf tribe in the deep forest of poisonous snakes is very closely related to each other, and Saya's father is an important figure in this tribal alliance, and his influence is very great. Through Saya, Marco not only recruited a lot of elven, half-elven archers from the Viper Forest. He also made a lot of money every year by trading steel, salt, and grain with the wild elves.

(Although the wild elves have not had a good relationship with humans for a long time, unexpectedly, they have no resistance to intermarrying with humans, so there are many half-elves in the Viper Forest)

The last Maier, although he does not have a strong family background, but he has a very strong talent, Marco is optimistic about his future, if Maier can become a legend, then he will make a lot of money, even if he is not a legend, having a high-level assassin as a subordinate is also the dream of all politicians.

And the two mages that appeared also had a purpose, as for what the purpose was, there was no need to say this, in the Faren Continent, as long as there were people with some power, who didn't want to recruit a few mages? It's just that there are too few mages and they are too expensive, so there are very few people who can recruit mages, and even fewer people can recruit high-level mages, especially in places like Am, where mages are suppressed. In order to recruit these two mages, Marco has worked hard to get his old nose.

So for the safety of these people, it is impossible for Marco to turn against Soram.

After that, Marco apologized and apologized, and promised to hold a reception banquet for Solam tomorrow, so he finally sent Solam away. Of course, Solam was not interested in such an inexplicable banquet and simply accepted the accommodation arranged by Marko. Soram planned to rest for two days and leave directly.

After Marco personally sent Solam and his party to a luxurious mansion located in the aristocratic district of the city, he hurried back to the city lord's mansion and began to explore the details of Ram's family.

******************

"Marco...... It's all our fault, if we were more useful, we wouldn't let you ......." As soon as he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Saya said to Marco with red eyes and a sad face.

In Saya's opinion, Marco has always been a man who stands up to the sky, and if it weren't for them, he would never have succumbed to Solam and them. So at this moment, Saya and they are very uncomfortable.

"Needless to say, it's all gone. You are my partners in life and death, what is it if you have no face? It's just that you must not be reckless in the future, there is no need to put yourself in danger for the sake of my little face. ”

Marco's words are not nonsense, Marco is pragmatist, yes, but people have feelings, and these companions of his have been with him for so long, enough for him to pay for them. Of course, the interests still account for the majority.

"Bump!"

The more Marco said that, the more uncomfortable Saya became. One of them slammed Truger on the table with a punch, then got up and prepared to go out.

"Don't be impulsive, Truger!"

Marco immediately stopped Truger, who knew Truger too well. In Marko's opinion, Truger is not a qualified superior, he is too impulsive, just like now, Marco dares to assure that he is definitely planning to rush his troops to find Soram desperately.

"Don't forget, the city is facing a crisis right now! We can't waste our brothers on such pointless things! ”

Cremur is Marko's base, and now that Am's situation has become more and more treacherous, as long as the city is kept under his control, Marco has further capital. So all his actions must serve this.

If he wasted his troops on this, no matter what the people in the city thought, he himself felt that he had lost. Working hard for the sake of face, that's what only reckless men do, and he's a smart man......

"So that's it? They humiliate you so much! "Truger is a good friend, but not a very good subordinate, and his temper is too stubborn. Prone to impulsiveness and even self-determination. Moreover, Marco's Puma subordinates obeyed Tru's words.

As a careerist, Marco certainly doesn't like this situation where his men are not completely under his control. This means that his power is not stable, if one day, Truger falls out with him, or simply Truger dies, then the Puma cavalry under his command may fall apart.

But it's a pity that he is a commoner, and his family's background is too poor, and he doesn't have a family that can help him cultivate talents and forces loyal to him. He didn't have a choice.

Fortunately, Truger's friendship and loyalty to him came from the heart, and Marco was able to control Truger with his feelings. Saya is even easier, a little girl who is carried away by love can't be more easily controlled, as for Maier, he is the most reassuring person in Marko, and he will not do anything superfluous without Marko's order.

After trying to convince Saya and Trugg, Marco immediately sought out the old mage Eric, hoping to get some information about Soram from Eric.
