Act III: Freya's Knights

"You mean you have a way to get around Madara's attention?"

The barkeeper asked, after a moment of silence, with a distinctly distrustful tone.

Freya nodded hurriedly. But she was immediately stunned, and found that all the people present had expressions on their faces that did not trust her, and her heart tightened, and she could not help but grasp her sword - as if to vent the nervous white knuckles.

"Freya is a militiaman in Butch, and a friend of hers has said that Fort Riden will be breached. Everyone would not believe it before tonight, and Sue would not believe it, but the facts are in front of them. I think there's some truth to Freya's words. At this time, Su suddenly spoke on the side.

Everyone was stunned, and even Freya looked at the wheat-skinned, pigtailed girl and cast a grateful glance at her.

"I, in fact, can't get you around Madara's attention." Freya thought for a moment, and said openly and honestly to the mercenaries present - her opening words made everyone stunned. "Still, I know that a person might have the ability."

"So you're not sure?" One person asked.

Freya nodded.

She immediately saw quite a few people shrug their shoulders. These mercenaries didn't have much hope for a little girl, they were really just joking, after all, Freya herself was not a nuisance - she could even be said to be a very attractive girl.

"Wait, everyone! I know, as a stranger, that I'm here to ask you to believe me in a nonsensical thing," she slowly relaxed, holding her sword in both hands to her chest, and her voice became bright and clear, "so I'm just suggesting a possibilityβ€”"

She thought for a moment: "It's like a bet, a gamble, I, I ......."

The pony-tailed girl couldn't find a suitable word for me for a long time, and she suddenly became a little annoyed - maybe she shouldn't have chosen a way to explain it in order to cater to these mercenaries.

"It's like if you open a market, are we right? Then life and death have fate, and wealth is in the sky. A big mercenary laughed: "Good explanation, hello - my name is Mano." Just Miss Chong, I have to bet on you, don't I? ”

He looked back. Someone in the crowd immediately let out a good-natured laugh, and someone shouted, "Mano, you damned gambler, sooner or later you will die on it."

Freya blushed and nodded quickly: "That's pretty much it, if you think my words are still credible, you might as well take a look first, right?" I think when you see my friend, you'll make a judgment - at least, at least I trust him. ”

After she finished speaking, the mercenaries fell silent. I have to say that what Freya said is still very tempting, and there is Sue's previous words as circumstantial evidence, and they are hesitant here, it is better to follow and see the market first, right?

Anyway, it won't suffer, it's a big deal to break up at that time.

However, for a while, no one was the first bird, Freya watched the scene gradually cooling down, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious for a while.

"I believe Freya."

Sue was the first to walk out, and she also looked back at her father. Leto couldn't help but scratch his head, he couldn't say anything about his daughter's statement, and it was true, they all said that his daughter's elbow turned outward - but he might as well catch a good boy for him.

The bar owner couldn't help but sigh for a while, and there was laughter all around.

"All right," said Leto, "don't laugh either, for since I'm all gone, it's okay for you to stay and see." I believe that the face of my little daughter will still be sold, right? ”

"Shameless, Leto."

"Then there is Miss Su who comes out as a shield."

"Shameless."

The mercenaries couldn't help but shout, but they all agreed with Leto's statement, but the fat bar owner was not ashamed at all, but looked complacent. And in the end, there were more than 20 people left, and these people were actually not uninterested in Freya's mention, but they couldn't pull their faces to compromise with a little girl.

"Then Miss, we're all here, now tell me your request?" Leto asked, clasping his hands around and looking back.

After all, mercenaries are mercenaries, and they all understand that there is no such thing as enjoying power without paying a price. They generally see this price as a deal, thinking that they will join if they account for it, and they will withdraw if they don't account for it - it's as simple as that, and it's not something to talk about.

Freya didn't understand the mercenaries' thoughts, and naturally felt nervous in her heart: "My request is actually very simple, that is, to escape from here alive. Since you have chosen to stay and trust me, I hope you will ...... Obey my command and obey orders, otherwise this agreement will basically lose its meaning. So I know it's a bit presumptuous to say that, but I'm going to insist on it -- and if you don't find it acceptable, I don't force it. ”

"Of course, that's the most basic." The mercenaries replied, of course, that they said so, but that the order to be sent to death might not necessarily be carried out. However, it's always a good idea to come down first.

"And what can you do?"

"I don't know, but I can at least stand with you guys and fight. When fighting, we are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, and I want to ...... This does not change because of the agreement between us. Freya thought for a moment and replied.

"It's enough to have that sentence, as long as you can do it. At least we'll recognize you, little girl! Mano replied as two or three people nodded in response. But there are still people who choose to quit. In the end, there were seventeen people left, except for Leto and Sue, as well as Mano and his three friends, the rest were lone rangers, and they felt that it was better to follow the team alone, so they finally chose to stay. However, these more than a dozen people were beyond Freya's expectations, and even far exceeded her expectations.

Because she didn't have much to expect. Even if only Su stayed, it was a fluke, and now it is a fluke within a fluke.

And before their discussion was over, the news of the invasion of the army of Madara had come from the west, and the crowd in the streets began to stir. Leto saw the situation on the street and immediately greeted the others and asked the others to go with him to the bar to get food, at this time, it was natural to take as much as he could, otherwise he would wait for these people to wake up, and it was estimated that the street would be in chaos.

This is also the difference between mercenaries and Freya and other militias, and the first thing that comes to the mind of an experienced soldier is always logistics, and nothing else.

"So what are we going to do next, Commander Miss Freya." The old mercenary Mano asked from the side.

"You don't need to call me Commander, I'm no different from you." Freya's face turned crimson, and she was so nervous that she could barely breathe. Until now, she hadn't figured out how she would have the guts to say something like that in front of a group of seasoned warriors.

Now that I think about it, it's like a dream.

But there was a voice in her heart that told her that she could do it. She must have a way to help Brando, instead of being a burden to him. The pony-tailed girl took a breath to relax herself, stared at the fiery West Gate with some distraction, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

"Of course, how could it not."

"Then we'll steal the horses later." Freya replied.

"Stealing horses?"

*********

"Stealing horses?" The girl fiddled with the silver spoon and asked curiously.

"It is an open fact that there was a mule and horse market in Lydenburg, where the nobles traded war horses in the inner district, and also sold domestic servants and slaves. In fact, when Lao Chen came to the Buchi area, they took the initiative to send the news. Beater replied.

"These daring guys." The princess calmly put down the teacup.

"But how did that girl know?" She asked again.

"It has to do with her background, we left her at the mule and horse market in Redenberg at the age of three, and she may not remember some of the events that happened before she was three years old, but she should be impressed by it."

"Are you really ruthless, a three-year-old girl left her alone in a strange place?"

"We also had to deal with it, because the turmoil was so widespread that even Everton's wife was not spared. Besides, we have a good arrangement. ”

"She can ride?"

"How can the Everton family not know how to ride, the person we arranged to adopt her is the elite knight of the Silver Wings, but why their family moved out of Fort Ridden to such a remote place as Buch, we still don't know."

"Did she succeed?" Although he knew that Overwell would say this, it must have meant that Freya had succeeded. But Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't help but ask.

On the surface, she has to be mature, but on the inside, she is still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Of course, as the old minister said before, the nobles were all attracted to the attention of that young man. There is no defense in the inner area of the market, so let them succeed lightly, and that group of mercenaries is also very strong, at least they can be ordinary soldiers of the first-line legion of the kingdom-"

The girl nodded.

Unlike other legions, the first-line legions of the Eruin Kingdom, such as the Praetorian Guard, the Silver Wing Legion, the Eleventh Cavalry Regiment of Siphah, and the Amway Coflint Musket Regiment, still basically blessed the honor and combat effectiveness of the past, and the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers in these legions is still maintained in the lower reaches of the Black Iron (3-7Oz), which is naturally not comparable to the second-line legions such as the White-Maned Legion and the Blackblade Legion.

As for those standard legions, they are even more unsightly, and since the years of the cave beasts, they have almost no different from the combat effectiveness of the noble private soldiers.

Therefore, the half-elf princess immediately understood what kind of strength the mercenaries who were with Freya probably had.

She thought for a moment and asked, "And then?" ”

"And then there's the best part of the story, when Miss Freya led her knights to join up with the magical young man and slaughtered all sides in the army of Madara." Even though he had always been cold about beating Verwell, the mention of fighting in and out of the enemy's army still made him, a member of the royal party, a little frowning.

"Amazing young man." The princess said.

Ferver coughed twice, realizing his gaffe.

But the maiden did not care, she looked at the time, and said, "I have a little time, Lord Overwell, and then please move on to the next stanza." ”

"It's an honor."
