Fed practiced his sword alone in a clearing, freshly cleared of snow, and the sword in his hand was the "heirloom sword" of the old kingdom that Joan and Anna had exchanged for. The biggest difference between this heavy two-handed sword, which Fielder called the "Old Sword", and the "Silence" was that it was not as long as the slashing sword that infantry used to deal with cavalry, and it could now provide Fielder with arm strength.

The unloaded "Black Flash" of Fei De is more agile, even if the old sword is so thick and inconvenient, it is still like an ordinary two-handed sword in Fei De's hands, but Fei De will have a little difficulty if he only grasps the old sword with one hand.

Vega, Patrick, Jasmine, and Reeves were all under the eaves watching their captain practice their swords, all of them tucked their hands into their winter coats, they couldn't get used to the cold. Reeves, in particular, was originally only in charge of purchasing supplies and settling in, but now he was feeling unwell from the cold, and was planning to return to Morninglight City first, as Phylla requested. In addition to Reeves, some of the mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Group also suffered from frostbite of various sizes, most of these mercenaries were from the center of the continent, and such a cold place made them feel quite uncomfortable.

"Although she is good at swordsmanship, she is a coward!" Anna, who was only eight years old, was already standing on the edge of the clearing at some point, she did not seem to be afraid of the cold at all, her arms were in front of her chest, and she looked domineering.

Her sister Jo Ann didn't stop Anna either, and the other captains were not surprised, because the little girl would sneer at Fieldy on various occasions after leaving Morninglight City, believing that Faire intended to swallow the sword and then dump their fallen sisters in such a barren place, but she never thought that this was all Jo Ann's meaning.

Unaffected by the little girl, Fidel dances his sword on his own, while also considering Ludwig's offer.

Ludwig's offer was brief, as King Adam's most trusted young general wanted to let the mercenaries enter the kingdom of Cosai and use them to deal with the nobles who had the power to dominate the world. There are not many mercenary groups in the Winter Country, and the climate and culture and the reasons for the low remuneration have caused those powerful mercenaries to stay away from this vast land.

The brief invitation letter did not state the intention, but after the analysis of the captains, everyone came to the above conclusion. Neither Ligu nor Jasmine wanted to get involved in the internal contradictions of the Kingdom of Cose, after all, the Papal States and the Duchy of Magini had already learned from the past, and Ludwig just wanted to use the well-known potato mercenary group, and he didn't know if he could exchange it for what the potato mercenary group wanted.

Fidel was still thinking about Ludwig, but the search for the treasure was already underway.

Constable learns that Fidel and the Potato Mercenaries have arrived at Ice Painting Harbor and sends a new treasure map to his cronies, and the aspiring mercenary personally writes a letter of apology to Fidel, because it turns out that the two treasure maps are "unconfirmed" treasure maps, and this latest treasure map is a "very likely" one. This somewhat deceptive partnership was almost torn apart by Noor's hand, but fortunately Ligu stopped the excited captain at the first time.

In return, Constable was willing to give seventy percent of the proceeds of the first treasure to the Potato Mercenaries, but Constable's cronies had to accompany Fidel to confirm this.

The mercenary squadron leader who was called "Short-haired Cox" by his subordinates was covered with thick hair all over his body, and those dark brown body hairs made Fidel, who likes to shave his beard clean, feel some discomfort, and this Cox captain also had a serious body odor, Selena and Jasmine would cover their noses and walk away when they saw him, and Ayana was the only woman who could put up with this guy.

Shorthair Cox was also watching Fed's sword practice under the eaves, and there were fifteen of his men, all of whom were mercenaries from Emily's Weeping Mercenary Regiment, who also didn't like the cold weather, but had to endure it in order to see the buried treasures dug up.

Fidel had sent a reconnaissance team to the place pointed out on the map, but the map pointed to the north of Ice Paint Harbor, that is, on the small islands that had been covered in thick ice.

The person in charge of the mercenary house here has long said that the small islands are inhabitable in the summer, and some fishermen will choose to use them as a supply point for going out to sea. But now the place is uninhabitable, not even for long, everything there is frozen, and there will be countless snow falling like snacks. You just have to stand there for half an hour, and it's hard for you to move again.

But for the sake of the treasure, the mercenaries of the more than ten reconnaissance teams still set off. They were willing to find a ship to leave the harbor after being promised an extra reward from Field, most of them were physically strong and more resistant to the cold, but in less than a day, a third of the mercenaries chose to sneak back - just as soon as they walked into the harbor of Ice Painting, their feet and hands seemed to belong to them, and they didn't know what drove them to "walk" back, what drove the others to continue rowing out to sea.

"There are still people who haven't come back, at least ten people. One of Cox's men whispered to Cox, and Fentry didn't know if Cox's fluffy ears could hear his men, but Fed could hear some.

"Just a dozen mercenaries want to find the treasure?!Hmph, why would the regimental commander cooperate with such a person, if it's that simple, we can do it ourselves!" Short-haired Cox would blow the whiskers from his mouth as he snorted, as if he didn't care if the people from the Potato Mercenary Regiment would hear him.

Fed also wondered why Constable didn't come in person, and he soon realized that it wasn't difficult to find the treasures, but how to take them away. This is not the Sunrise Plateau, not the territory of Constable, this is the cold and harsh kingdom of Cosse, the people here have their own rules, and Wild does not believe that no one in this place has discovered the plan he is carrying out. Maybe the people at the House of Mercenaries have already set their sights on the dozen or so men who borrowed the ship, but they haven't figured out what they're going to do yet.

Fylde tossed the old sword to Patrick, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked over to Shorthair Cox.

"We will confirm the location of the treasure as soon as possible, and the people of Ice Painting Harbor will also be dealt with by us. ”

Short-haired Cox opened his eyes as if he hadn't, because his eyebrows were so thick that they were about to mix them together.

"I tell you, Commander Constable trusts you, but I don't trust you completely! We are only cooperative, and if you fail to fulfill your obligations, it will be tantamount to opposing the entire Independent Alliance, and against the Sunrise Plateau. ”

Fidel sighed softly, "We understand, partnership. "This kind of person who speaks ugly and vicious things in front of him generally does not have much city government and malice, and Fei De has learned this truth.
