Chapter 63: Ready to go
The dignified-looking and gentle knight probably noticed her rude behavior as well, so she immediately withdrew her gaze from Fidel's face. However, in addition to staring at Fidel for a while, she also glanced at the leader of the tearing mercenary group, "Sharp Claw", but the other party did not notice.
"Then the special task force in charge of the containment plan will be in charge of Selena and the three captains under the Potato Mercenary Group," Deputy Commander Rashad has begun to gradually take over Satnam's co-ordination power, but this is also Satnam's acquiescence beside him, "We will also send some knight subordinates who originally belonged to Selena's Knight Captain to assist in this important task." ”
Selena stood up, then stood at the edge of the tent, behind the captains' chairs, and stood with the knight chief Kiro. Kiro, the chief knight, is quite tall, but this female chief knight has a pair of long legs, and when she stands with Kiro, she is only a little shorter than the male knight. Kesi saw that the female knight with an even body and slender legs was jealous, and she really didn't understand why those good-looking women would make eye contact with Fidel, but she didn't notice Selena's hidden hostility towards Fidel.
"Given that there are still some details to be taken care of in the containment mission, I wonder if we can let those three captains come over?" Rashad said to Fidd.
Feder nodded, and then one of the knights followed Lashad and Fed's instructions and summoned Avi, Hughes, and Lukka to the camp of the Potato Mercenary Regiment.
"Alright, except for the diversion" Commander Satnam was about to speak when the Pope stood up and interrupted him.
"Commander, I think you should hand over the main task to Deputy Commander Rashad as soon as possible, otherwise it will make the command of the army lose its accuracy at that time. The Pope was not at all polite, and did not pay attention to the archbishop, who sat on the sidelines and was silent.
Satnam had no choice but to respond in a good voice: "Of course, let the Pope worry about it." ”
In the ensuing time, Satnam, the Knight Captain Selena, and the three captains of the Potato Mercenary Regiment went to the camp next door to discuss the containment plan, while the other captains and knights continued to be in the big camp and listened to Rassad's military distribution. In the end, it was decided that the remaining thirty-six mercenary groups except for the Dhaka mercenary group were divided into two parts, namely the vanguard group and the special group.
The vanguard group is led by the servant mercenary group leader Arturas as the commander-in-chief, and the "Sharp Claw" is the deputy commander, and they will each lead ten mercenary groups to attack the first two cities, and attack at the same time. The chief regiment commander Fei De and his potato mercenary regiment command the special regiment, a total of sixteen mercenary regiments, guarding the rear, and sending troops to support the front line at any time according to the situation on the front line. Jennifer, the female leader of the Shepherd Dog Mercenary Group, served as Field's deputy commander and led the more than 10,000 mercenaries together.
In order to avoid a gap in cooperation between the mercenary groups, Rashad decided to have the knight captain Kiro accompany Fid. It was clear to Fidel that this was more of surveillance than coordination, and that he did not appear to be a loyal supporter of Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, and that it was normal for someone armed with the Church to look at him. And from another point of view, under the "assistance" of Kiro and Jennifer, the power of his chief head has long been seriously weakened, but this is not very important to Fed.
As early as leaving the rented house, Fidel had already thought about how to find his place in the alliance that attacked the East Oguna Empire. In order to stand out from other mercenary groups, knights, and even regular armies, the Potato Mercenary Regiment, which has the smallest number and the least seniority, must be in the right place at the most critical moment and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
There are many reasons why this mercenary group was formed in the first place, but one of them played a key role - that is, to bring the mercenary group he established to glory. This is not only the best reward for the relatives who cultivated him, but also the strongest response to his father Faulkner. And in the process, you can also show your abilities and even find what you want to pursue. On some nights, I feel a little confused. In this vast continent, what can I change? What can I create? I have thought about returning to my hometown in fine clothes and gaining fame and fortune; I have also thought about dying in a foreign land and being defeated and degenerate, but after all, I have not seen the most real direction clearly. So now I can only continue to move forward, and before mastering the power of life weapons, I must first bring out the potato mercenary group.
After determining these basic ideas, Fidel chatted with Marcus, Patrick, Noor, and others individually. Although they have their own pursuits, they basically agree on one thing - in this campaign, the preservation of strength and play a key role.
"What is the main job of me and my mercenary group?" Fide whispered to the Knights' Deputy Head Rashad during a break in the meeting.
Rashad showed a surprised expression, and then pushed Phaedra aside: "Of course, the chief head is responsible for managing the other mercenary groups, and then make good contact with the forces of our church," Rashad glanced at the archbishop and continued, "In addition, the number of mercenaries in your group is a little smaller, and they only need to be used to protect you and serve as your personal guards." ”
Fidel understood what he meant, so he nodded and returned to his seat.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to let Avi and them follow the chief knight on a containment mission!?" asked Kess, sitting next to Fed.
"There will definitely be dangers, but it's also a test for them. ”
"Well, what are we going to do then? I feel that the assigned task is very empty, not real!"
Management tasks are of course unrealistic, and such tasks are not easy to achieve. However, behind those three cities and the riverbank castle were more regular troops of the East Oguna Empire, and this town and fortress was just an appetizer for this campaign. Thinking of this, Fed said to Coth, "This is what the regimental commander is going to do. ”
In the time that followed, Rashad began to discuss the distribution of military funds and the remuneration of mercenary groups with all the mercenary leaders. Food and weapons are paid for by the Church, and mercenary groups do not need to be equipped with medical soldiers, and the Church is responsible for treating wounded soldiers. And every time you take a step forward into the empire's territory, you will be rewarded with a certain amount of gold. The archbishop also walked among the mercenary captains and encouraged the few who were most obedient to him.
"Archbishop, this time, please let the villain bring the name of the archbishop to the civilians of the empire who are in dire straits, and then let the light of the church shine on them!"
"Let the cultists regain their faith and believe in the true gods of this world!"
"The glory of the Father will envelop the eastern side of the continent, and the Papal States will surely receive more respect and respect!"
Several of the regimental commanders echoed and boasted, and Fidel, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly thought that if the Papal States defeated the army of the East Oguna Empire, what would happen to the captured territories?
As most of the military affairs were assigned and confirmed, some of the regimental commanders who were already aware of their duties began to leave, and some of the regimental commanders obtained Satnam's approval to meet with the mercenary subordinates who had been forcibly recruited to the barracks. After a long afternoon of deliberations, most of the chiefs were exhausted, even the archbishop and the pope, who were only sitting in their chairs. Avi asked Hughes to bring news to Fed, that the Knight Captain, Selena, was going to have dinner with them and continue the discussion about the containment mission.
Cox was left by the Pope for dinner, along with Chedy, the captain of Amme's guard. Fed did not receive the invitation, so he went to his tent alone.
"Where's Cash?" Greif saw Fylde from afar, but not Cash, and he hurriedly ran over to ask.
"Dine with the Pope in that tent. ”
"Then I'm going to take a look!" said Greif, and walked over there.
Fett looked up at the sky that was gradually turning red and dark, this was the scene of dusk, according to Satnam's marching arrangement, they might not be in the Holy Light City by this time tomorrow.
In the tent of his mercenary group, several people had already set up sleeping bags and were ready to go to bed after eating a full meal. Marcus heard that more than a hundred of his men were placed next to the camp of the Knights of the Church, and he decided to go and see for himself. The other captains asked Fid about the meeting and the tasks they had been assigned.
Fed told everyone that from now on, he would not be allowed to leave the camp of the Knights without the approval of the Knight Chief or Satnam, but fortunately, because the cadres of the Potato Mercenary Regiment were all outsiders, this restriction was not very important.
At the same time in the papal tent, the Pope was sitting in the middle, and Chedy and Coss were seated on either side, waiting for the delicacies to be served. Greif sat down as well, earning a seat as Brother Queth.
The first course is a slice of duck breast with some sweet and sour sauce, which is quite flavorful.
"Today, I specially invited the Inspector of Kesi to dinner, just to learn about the potato mercenary group, after all, your group has just arrived, and you have joined the church alliance, and you are still the chief mercenary group, which is really amazing. The Pope's tone was as if he had not appointed the Chief Mercenary Regiment.
If you want to know about the Potato Mercenary Corps, isn't Fed more suitable than herself?, although Kesi can sometimes be confused, she still knows why she was invited here.
"The Papal States, under the wise rule of the Pope and the Archbishops, have become very prosperous, and it has been an eye-opener for us countrymen. Kesi replied as she ate her duck breast.
"That's all thanks to the archbishop," the Pope took a sip of water, then glanced at Captain Chedy, "By the way, I wonder if the captains of your regiment will miss their home after being away from their hometown for so long?"
Greif and Gree both understood what was said, and for a moment Greif didn't know what to say, but Greif said, "I don't know about the others, of course my sister and I are homesick, but it's not time to go back." ”
Coze didn't know if Greif's answer was appropriate, but the Pope didn't follow in, just smiled, and Cheddy heard this and took his first bite of dinner.
