It was getting late, and Fed and Patrick were standing outside the tent talking about things, and by this time the weather had become quite cold, after all, it was late December.

"I just heard the latest news that the Dhaka mercenary group in charge of reconnaissance has left the camp. Fed stood in front of Patrick, who had his back to the tent.

"Then we'll start moving in a few days. ”

"Are you looking forward to it?"

"Hopefully, after all, it's been a long time since I've left the Honor Arena," Patrick didn't take off his mask, and even now no one could see his face in the dark night, "I know it's different on the battlefield and in the arena, but you don't have to worry about me." ”

"Well, if you're going to attack each other on flat ground with the regular army, I'm sure that's what you want to experience as well. ”

"How well do you master the control of the enchantment?"

"I go to work out every night. Fei De looked at the "black flash" on his body, now he was able to turn off the quagmire enchantment, and he could clearly perceive another layer of enchantment, but unfortunately he couldn't master it for the time being.

"Maybe it will come in handy on the battlefield, but you have to remember that you are the chief commander, not an ordinary soldier," Patrick said, glancing at the sky, "Go back and rest early." ”

Fett nodded, he walked alone in the camp of the Church Order, and he couldn't sleep now. Ever since he had studied to be a leader, he had begun to find something that made him feel bad - it took a lot of force to suppress his desire to rush into battle. In the past, if I wanted to draw my sword and rush forward, I would draw my sword and rush forward, and I would go straight to the enemy's head, but now I can't. There was always a thought in his head to think ahead and be timid, and this conscious self-control made Feide feel uncomfortable.

Discomfort was inevitable, and Phyllum himself had learned to accept it, but on this evening he remembered Uncle Evan's kind invitation to join the military academy of the Kingdom of Salins. I heard Uncle Evan say that before you go there, you can be a killer, you can be a fighter, but as long as you come back from there, you must be an officer.

Looking back now, I really regret it a little. If you can go to that place to study before leaving Sahlins, maybe your own potato mercenary group will be easier to command and control now. Thinking of this, Fed decided to write a letter and send it back to his hometown before the church alliance opened, maybe Uncle Evan and Grandpa Nikolai would receive it, which can be regarded as an explanation for the six months since he left his homeland.

He wrote the letter in a church delivery tent, burned the envelope, and handed it to a church officer.

"Isn't this the Chief Commander, Lord Field, the little one will let the best messenger deliver the letter for you!" the man smiled, wrapped the letter in a thick envelope, and carefully wrote down the address to which he was going to send it.

Fei De didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the content of the letter was not classified at all, and he didn't even mention the name of the mercenary group he was in now, but just roughly talked about the current situation.

At this time, the deputy head of the Church Order, Rashad, appeared behind Fid.

"Chief Commander, I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to take a step to speak?" Rashad had already changed into civilian clothes, but his handsome face was still able to contrast the clothes with nobility and luxury.

"Hmm. ”

The two walked slowly through the camp until they reached the walls of the Holy Light City. There was a staircase leading up the city walls, and the clergy guards immediately made way for Rassad. After arriving at the walls of the Holy Light City, the great plain to the east was like a black ocean at night, quiet and vast.

About 80 kilometers to the east of this location is the territory of the Eastern Oguna Empire, which has a "buffer zone" of national borders between the two countries. In the buffer zone, neither side of the army can enter and garrison, but on this night, I am afraid that quite a few mercenaries from the Papal States have already passed through it.

"Lord Field, I'd better get straight to the point. Rashhad looked at the scenery for a while, then turned to look at Fide and said.

"Yes. ”

"Actually, I am a knight sent by the Pope to lurk beside the archbishop," the night breeze in winter blew Rashard's delicate facial features and long silky hair, but unfortunately with the faint light of the fire on the city wall, Fed could not see what was in Rassad's eyes at this time, "My purpose is very simple, to overthrow the archbishop's arbitrary authority, and then return the rule of religion to the Pope." ”

Fed was not surprised, he knew that there would be someone in the Order of the Church who would be on the Pope's side, whether it was Satnam, Rassad, Kiro, Riley, and Selena, someone would definitely be among them.

"So what?"

"So I hope that Your Excellency will join me on the side of His Holiness the Pope and destroy the forces of Arthur Auerbach and restore the light to the City of Light. The words of the Deputy Master of the Order were sonorous and powerful, but they were not so clear when they reached Feide's ears in the winter wind.

"Neither I nor my mercenary group intend to get involved in the internal conflicts of the Holy Light City, and I hope the deputy head can forgive me. Fidel rejected the other party with a single word, simply and without leeway.

For a moment, Fylde felt that he was too unkind, but he knew that this choice was the best option for himself and the Potato Mercenary Group. Rashad, who was standing in front of him, didn't say anything immediately, just turned to look at the endless black "ocean" to the east.

The two of them were silent for a while, until Rashad looked ahead and whispered, "I know it's very difficult for a mercenary group to help us, but I believe that Lord Feder is the kind of person I can trust, and not the kind of mercenary who forgets his interests." His voice grew louder.

Fidel didn't respond, just listened quietly.

"This military operation has been agreed by the archbishop and the pope, and one of the important reasons is that both of them want to wait for an opportunity to eradicate each other in this expedition away from the Holy Light City," Rashad let his long and smooth hair be blown messy, "and Your Excellency, as the chief head of the Church Union, your choice will affect the final fate of the Papal States, if you can, I hope that Lord Fei De can uphold justice and protect justice, this may be enough." ”

Fidel still did not respond, he was already aware of the other side's intentions - even if he could not convince himself to side with the pope, he hoped to remain neutral, so that they would have a better chance of winning the power struggle.

"Why are you helping the Pope?" asked Feld suddenly.

The young deputy head of the regiment paused for a moment, and then showed a shallow smile, "Because I know that the archbishop is evil, and the Pope is the spokesman of the Heavenly Father, who is righteous, and he will make life better and better for everyone of faith in the City of Holy Light."

Maybe the Pope is evil too? Maybe it's just two humanoid demons fighting. When Fei De thought of this, he realized how innocent and innocent Rashad was in front of him. If he was able to hide very deeply under Satnam's men, and handle everything in an orderly and shrewd manner, then his essence was simple, kind, and without much scheming.

At this moment, Fei De could hear the voice of the ambition beating in the heart of everyone who held power in the Holy Light City. Whether it's the archbishop or the pope, the knights or the mercenary group, they all have their own selfish **. Who can uphold justice and defend justice? Perhaps only this handsome knight beside him, who is not ambitious, but kind. But this kindness was a bit stupid in Fett's eyes.

Fid could tell that what Rashad said was from the heart, so he nodded lightly and said, "I also hope that the people here are doing better." ”

"This day will definitely come. Young Rashad said with a smile.
