Chapter Twenty-Four: Nothing to Do
"Forty" The young deputy head of the regiment, Rashad, repeated what Fid had said, but when he said it, his expression always gave others a sense of incongruity. Satnam was also panicked for a moment, and he slowly pulled out a roster of all the resident mercenary groups from the pile of papers on his desk, and it did indeed contain the list signed by Ernest himself - the Potato Mercenary Group was the last mercenary group to be confirmed as a permanent mercenary group.
This roster does not indicate how many people there are in each mercenary group, but as far as the head of the knight order knows, among the thirty-three mercenary groups, the smallest number is at least three hundred and eighty mercenaries, because of the small number of mercenaries, this mercenary group often does not receive good tasks, can only do such as harvesting grain, transporting villagers, assisting in the repair of buildings, etc., it looks more like a group of craftsmen and farmers, rather than mercenaries who go to the battlefield to fight.
However, the Feder in front of him, who was dressed in gorgeous black armor, actually said that there were only forty of them, and even the leaders of the two mercenary groups were taken aback.
"If there really are only forty people in your group, you might want to consider joining one of the mercenary groups, and if you're lucky, there's also a squad leader," Satnam said, closing the paper.
"What's wrong with forty people? Look down on a mercenary group with few people? Lao Tzu used to," Marcus shouted unconvinced, but before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Fidel.
"I'm sure that an organization as large as the Church Alliance will definitely need to do small tasks that are simple and don't require a lot of manpower," Fetter said, looking squarely at Satnam, "We may not be large, but we can certainly make a difference." ”
Neither Grass nor Greif understood why Fed'd was so whispering to the head of the Church Knights, considering that in Kiss's eyes, every captain of the Potato Mercenary Regiment was a stunt. It can't be said that one is a hundred, that is, compared with the mercenaries she met before, everyone seems to be very strong, why is it so despised by people?
Satnam nodded slowly, and he said, "In this way, I will record the situation of your regiment first, and then" Before he could finish speaking, a person walked in outside the tent. They also knew this person, Fried, who was the chief knight they met for the first time - Riley.
Riley was the first to notice Fett's group, but he only glanced at it and walked in the direction of Satnam with a letter.
"Just leave it to me. The deputy head of the regiment, Rashad, tried to take the letter, but Riley pulled his hand away.
"This is what the archbishop asked me to personally hand over to the head of the regiment, how can I give it to the stinky boy," after he finished speaking, he ignored Rashad who was standing in front of him, and walked directly in front of Satnam, "This is a letter from the archbishop, please take a look at it." ”
"Oh, what's the content?" asked Satnam as he opened the letter.
"Of course, the subordinates don't know. Riley turned around again and smiled at Fidel.
After reading the letter, the head of the Church Knights carefully looked at Fei De and the three people behind him before he said to Fei De and them: "You have been allowed to join the Church Alliance, as for the number of people, you don't have to mind, you can have as many people." ”
Fett realized that the change in Satnam's reaction was due to the letter, which everyone present could see as the archbishop's meaning. This had to remind Fidel of the previous Archbishop who released them for some unknown reason, and it seems that this time it was the Archbishop who let them join the Church Union smoothly.
"You can all leave and let you know when there's an update. Satnam put the letter back in the envelope, and then said to the other two mercenary group leaders, "I hope you two can think more carefully, I plan to relax the period for you to join the alliance, three days."
Fyld didn't listen, and he immediately left the camp with the other three, but the knight captain Riley immediately followed, catching up with Fed, who was walking outside the barracks.
"Captain Field, Captain Field, please stay!"
"I'm sorry, I'm the deputy head of the regiment. ”
"Ah, I'm really sorry I offended your regiment at the beginning, in fact, it was your regiment's credit to be able to repel those imperial spies," he bowed his head slightly, his expression cautious, "I hope your regiment can be tolerant and forget my mistakes!"
Feder still remembers the first time he met this Riley, and the other party's resolute facial features and tattoos on his cheeks made him think that the other party was a tough guy. It's really unseemly, this knight's attitude suddenly changed, from that day's arrogance to the current servile kneeling, it is really strange, the only thing that can be explained is that because he also knows some things like the archbishop, and his opinion of his potato mercenary group has changed.
"Those things are in the past. ”
"Yes, yes, Leader Fielder is really broad-minded," Riley smiled, and he also took out a small gift box with gold trim from his arms and handed it to the other party, "This is a little heart, and I hope that Deputy Head Fielder will accept it with a smile." ”
Kesi took the box and opened it immediately. There is a jade ring hidden inside, which is already a very valuable treasure for gold rings and silver rings, and it is estimated that it can be worth hundreds of gold coins.
"Cash" Fylde also wants to say something to stop Cashy from taking the object, and Cashy has already lost the ring to Greif.
"This thing can be sold for a lot of money, so we can recruit a few more mercenaries!"
Riley immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's better to recruit more mercenaries, and let me know as soon as you need them!" He tried to make his smile look kinder, and then bent slightly.
This person's flattery made Fei De feel very disgusted, but he still didn't know the reason for the other party's gift and favor, so it was not appropriate to say too much.
"In the future, Deputy Head Fei De will be the leader of the thirty-fourth mercenary group of the Church Alliance, and we must have a lot of things to help each other," he said, and took out another gift from his bosom - a necklace with diamonds, which is worth a lot more than the previous ring, at least eight hundred gold coins, "Actually, this is for this young lady, I hope you can accept a piece of the villain's heart." ”
When Feder saw the other party's expensive necklace, and even called himself a "villain", it seemed that the archbishop did know the true identity of Kesi, so the chief knight also knew?
This time, instead of reaching out to accept the gift from the other party, she pursed her lips and said, "What are you giving me something for no reason?!Are you going to pursue me?"
Riley was taken aback, but a smile immediately appeared on his face and said, "How can the villain have such guts, it's just that I frightened the young lady that day, and I specially apologized." ”
This time, even Greif and Marcus saw that the other party's intentions were not simple, but Kesi only hesitated for a moment, then took the other party's necklace and threw it to Greif, "Forget it, it's all sold for money, this gift is for our potato mercenary group!"
Riley nodded hurriedly, anyway, he just asked the other party to accept his things.
"There is also a letter from the archbishop himself, hoping that Deputy Head of the Church will see it. ”
