Chapter XXVI
After much discussion with his subordinates, Fei decided to go "alone" to contact the group of the East Oguna Empire.
It was a dangerous decision, and Ayana, Patrick, and Noor were all arranged to hide behind Fid to make sure they could rush into the room and rescue their captain as soon as Fidel called the code. And in Fed's mind, he didn't think that someone who was once the deputy head of a national knight order would be reckless enough to attack him directly.
However, Fidel guessed wrong.
As soon as Cai, who had a circle of round hair on the top of his head, recognized Feide, the long sword at his waist came out and stabbed straight into Feide's chest! If it weren't for the quick reaction of an Imperial man from East Oguna next to Cai, who was not wearing a "black flash", Feide might have been injured.
"Gordon!!Are you protecting the enemy?!" Cai wanted to rush at Fed, but some Imperial people dressed like him behind him had already clung him to death. Ayana and the others immediately rushed into the room, but both Fed and the Imperial, Gordon, kept their men under control and there was no further conflict.
"Cai, we are soldiers, knights of the East Oguna Empire," the man who was called "Gordon" by Cai had white skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he didn't look very similar to other soldiers of the East Oguna Empire, "I'm the person in charge of this mission, don't you even listen to my orders?"
Cai forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, but the hand holding the sword still did not relax. Fidel knew that he was not in danger for the time being, and even if the negotiations failed, these dozen or so soldiers of the East Oguna Empire might not be able to outwit him and his men.
Gordon spun around in place, his eyes never taking off his slender legs, "I'm Gordon, Di belongs to the Knights of the Wasteland of the East Oguna Empire, and is the deputy head of the Knights of the Wasteland..."
"I'm Fidel, the leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, these are my subordinates, I took the liberty of this time..."
"I know you, Captain Fidel," Gordon cupped his chin and stroked the moustache gently, "We've met before, but you've definitely forgotten about me as a little person, Captain Fidel." ”
Feder looked at Gordon again, and he had a pretty good memory, and he couldn't remember where he had met the person in front of him. The East Oguna Empire has always been a rival to Fidel and the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and except for Saresa, it seems that few of Fed's friends are from the East Oguna Empire.
"Saresa... Saresa-sama... Captain Fed, you shouldn't be a stranger, right?"
"Of course not, I have had several encounters with your country, Lord Saresa. ”
"I've only met you once, Commander, and I was shot in the thigh, two thighs, by the sharpshooter behind you. Gordon was in his thirties, but he still smiled a little shyly, perhaps because of the mention of his own dishonorable experience.
It was then that Feder remembered Gordon's possible identity based on his experience with Saresa - during the civil war in the Oguna Empire, Fed's first encounter with Saresa, the Python of the Wasteland, was in an encounter at a border fortress. Fidel vaguely remembered that there was a personal knight of Saresa who was shot in the leg with a wooden bow by Ayana for protecting Saresa, and I am afraid that this East Oguna Empire named Gordon in front of him is him.
"I remember the way you looked. Ayana held the wooden bow in her hand and said coldly.
Gordon looked embarrassed, "Yes, but we were on the battlefield at the time... After returning home, Lord Saresa has been praising the Potato Mercenary Group and... Captain Fidel, you. So I'm particularly impressed with you, Captain Fed, and I know very well that we're just our own masters, and even if Carlos, the leader of the Lightning Knights, dies at the hands of Captain Fed, I can only blame him for his inferior skills. ”
Gordon's last few words completely angered the captured Tsai. Cai roared and struggled with all his might, but this could only make more East Oguna Imperial soldiers come forward, and it took three people to suppress him at first, but now it has increased to five.
Cai shouted: "Gordon, you bastard! If it weren't for the death of Captain Carlos! It would not be your turn to be a clown like you to command me here!! Let me go! I will kill this mercenary who killed Captain Carlos with my own hands!"
Gordon smiled slightly: "Now the task of defending Glynko has long fallen into the hands of our Knights of the Wasteland, and Lord Saresa has become the most relied on general of the East Oguna Empire, even if it is the prime minister... The Prime Minister has worked hard, and it is impossible for him to grasp everything with one hand. Gordon's cynicism in front of outsiders finally made Fide fully understand the current internal situation of the East Oguna Empire. The Knights of the Wasteland, a knight order that has never heard of a name, is estimated to have been established not long ago, and the Lightning Knights may have been disbanded, otherwise the deputy head of the knight order named "Cai" would not have fallen to become Gordon's subordinates and went to the Winter Country thousands of miles away to carry out a mission.
"To each his own," Patrick interjected, "no one on the battlefield will care if you are the son of the Prime Minister or the Prime Minister himself! Besides, your Captain Carlos also killed one of our companions, if you really want revenge, then come on, I will be your first opponent." "Not only Patrick, but this knight of the East Oguna Empire may have to deal with Ayana and Nur before he has a chance to face the strongest mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment.
It wasn't until Cai calmed down that Fidel told Gordon of his intentions. Gordon quickly agreed to Fidel's suggestion, and relayed the Potato Mercenary Regiment's suggestion to his master, Saresa, as an alternative.
"Captain Fed, you're really not an ordinary mercenary. We, Lord Saresa, were invited by a big figure in the Winter Kingdom to intervene in the winter civil unrest that is likely to occur. Oh... No, the word 'civil strife' is not appropriate, it may be just a small dispute, and the key is to see how the matter is handled. ”
Fidel: "From your point of view, it must be based on the interests of the East Oguna Empire. It's only by joining forces with us that you can maximize the benefits. ”
Nur also chimed in: "That's it, our mercenary group is what the nobles of the Winter Kingdom have always wanted to fight for!Knight Commander! Think about it, besides us, who else has the ability to influence the situation in the Kosai Kingdom?!" Noor's two words lifted the potato mercenary group to the sky, and both Fede and Patrick couldn't listen to it anymore.
Gordon touched his beard and smiled, "I don't fully agree with what this captain said, except for the potato mercenary group led by Captain Feide, the power of the mercenary guild is another stick that can pry the winter country." ”
Fei De didn't think that his mercenary group would be able to turn his hands into clouds and rain in the winter civil fighting, but the mercenary guild could do it, because in addition to the beauty mercenary group sent, they might also command other mercenary forces on the continent, just to grab more benefits in it.
Seeing that Fide was silent, Gordon continued to increase his bargaining chips, "Actually, we also arranged two important meetings for this mission, one is to contact the Silver Tooth Mercenary Group, and the other is to further confirm the cooperation agreement with the Wolf Mercenary Group. Both of these mercenary groups have good strength in the Winter Country, and they have also joined the Mercenary Guild and are about to become subordinate mercenary groups of the Beauty Mercenary Group... Captain Feide, I'm afraid you don't know much about this information, right?"
Of course, Fei De didn't know, he hadn't even figured out the situation of the local mercenary group in the Winter Country. The Silver Tooth Mercenary Group and the Wolf Mercenary Group do have a certain reputation, but they didn't expect that as soon as the Mercenary Guild re-intervened in the Winter Kingdom, they found a big backer, and they also came into contact with the hostile force East Oguna Empire, and it seems that the mercenaries of the Winter Kingdom are no different from the mercenaries in other parts of the mainland.
"What a Silver Wolf Mercenary Regiment... Can they compare to our Potato Mercenary Regiment?" Nur stubbornly said, "Besides, the Beauty Mercenary Regiment is also a newly established mercenary regiment, if our leader wants to join the Mercenary Guild, it will be a casual matter!"
Fid interrupted Noor, "Captain Gordon, our desire to cooperate with the East Oguna Empire is of course also for the sake of our mercenary group's own interests, but there is one more thing, and that is my opinion on the internal contradictions of the Winter Country. ”
Gordon tilted his head sideways and smiled, "Oh? ”
"The plebeian faction, led by Ludwig, will surely defeat the aristocratic faction, led by the Marquis of Ampwol. Fidel was calm because the words were what he really thought.
Gordon slapped a finger on his cheek and thought for a minute before responding, "Coincidentally, Lord Saresa and Captain Fielder have the same thoughts, but I still can't tell you who invited us to this trip. I can only assure you, Captain Fidel, that I will relay your proposal to Lord Saresa as soon as possible, after all... Lord Saresa is very fond of the Potato Mercenary Regiment. ”
Although there is no result, substantial progress has been made. Early the next morning, Fed and his three men continued to move eastward, while Gordon and his party entered the Rhino Fortress to hand over the Winterland's connectors. To get involved in the Winter Civil Strife, the East Oguna Empire and Saresa must find a point of leverage that can be leveraged, and Fed believes that the Potato Mercenaries will be no less useful than the Mercenary Guild.
Two days later, Fed and three of his men arrived in a medium-sized town, where a sizable mercenary group had just left, and Feder hid in the crowd by the roadside, silently observing.
A team of mercenaries walked out from the center of the town, and a mercenary brigade of nearly 2,000 people slowly moved north, and a familiar face suddenly appeared at the front of the team - Xue Rui, the white-haired female mercenary who had served as the leader of the cavalry squad in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment.
Only Fett still remembered her, and Patrick and the others had already forgotten about this mercenary, after all, when the Moon Shield mercenary group split, the whereabouts of this mercenary were unknown.
Xue Rui is still as radiant as ever, and Field, who bows his head slightly, is not discovered by Xue Rui. To Fett's curiosity, there was a blonde man wearing a thick mask and only his eyes showing at Cherry's side, and that man seemed to be the leader of the mercenary group.
"What's the name of this mercenary group?" Fielder asked in a low voice.
"It seems to be called the 'Revenge Mercenary Group'," Nur scratched his ears, "I don't know what revenge is, the current mercenaries really like to make a fuss about their names..."
