"But you've saved me several times, so I think I should listen to you."
Edmund pointed in the direction of his territory and tentatively asked, "Shall we go?"
"Let's take a look first; we're already here."
The Guard Captain thought for a moment and said, "I think this cooperation could also benefit Baron Sloer, and you've had two collaborations with him before."
"Alright, then let's go find Baron Sloer."
Edmund muttered along with the Guard Captain,
"He has so many soldiers and weapons, he surely can resolve this trouble."
"This matter should benefit him too, and I won't let him do it for free."
"If it really doesn't work, I can pay, give him more gold coins."
"Or food; gold coins aren't very useful here."
"Female slaves could work too; I remember last time he bought several."
...
The Guard Captain listened to his Lord's mumbling, feeling a mix of emotions.
