Count Theodore knew that his request to Yan Xing was somewhat excessive.
And Yan Xing was right...
The most urgent matter was to ensure Marquis Anderson's military authority remained intact, not to disrupt Lady Karol's recruitment of the elves.
But the entire Wildwind Highlands Legion had reached its limit. Facing the principality's power grab, Marquis Anderson truly had no good countermeasures.
Even Count Theodore did not know what to do, and it was impossible for him to leave Nuta City at this time to devise strategies for the Marquis.
The only thing he could probably do now was to remind Marquis Anderson to be on guard.
Then, he needed to hold onto Nuta City so that, in the worst-case scenario, they could preserve the foundation of their family.
After much consideration, Count Theodore said to Yan Xing, "If a rebellion occurs within Nuta City, my men can control the private soldiers of the unruly nobles. As for the mercenaries, can you handle them?"
