Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 1 Unruly (I)
"We're almost in the City of Light, get up!" shouted One-Eyed Marcus to the others left behind. He and his brother Matthews were at the forefront, but they had the heaviest weapons on their bodies.
Fei De counted the number of people, the five original mercenaries plus the big nose fan, a total of six subordinates. Except for them, the others were all people with positions, and the cavalry squadron leader Avi was sent to ride to the Papal States first to take care of everything.
In fact, Fei De still has a little reservation about Avi, after all, the other party is only eighteen years old, and he has just become a mercenary not long ago, so he is a little too immature. It's just that he thinks Avi is a mercenary with quite potential - not only does he not die, but also has superb equestrian skills, and most importantly, he has a special temperament that makes both Fede and Russell trust him.
After several days of travel, through a large area of forests, grasslands, and swamps, they finally saw the path that had been carved out, and along the way many caravans and mercenaries passed, mainly caravans of the three principalities.
Although the three principalities were hostile to each other, they still maintained certain trade agreements between them, especially to protect the safety of the caravans of other countries in their territories, so the three principalities as the center of the continent and the hub connecting the four directions, have always won the trust of the merchants.
Many of the mercenary groups they met sent invitations to Fei De and his subordinates - seeing the equipment on Fei De and Patrick, anyone with a little insight knew that this line of more than ten people was not easy. The strength of a mercenary group is sometimes the strength of an individual, and if a mercenary group has a very strong captain, the more subordinates can be summoned. When those caravans or nobles want to find a mercenary group, they will also consider the other party's captain first, and the captain and regiment leader with a good reputation, high reputation and personal charm are the most popular people.
Two of the remaining mercenaries wanted to join a passing mercenary group, but were left behind by the Marcus brothers. Fei De knew that if a mercenary was going to leave his team, it must be something short of his team, so he had already begun to think about taking on the mission. The first mission of the Potato Mercenary Group must be successfully completed. Feder thought to himself.
"Hey, Potato!" Kiss was used to calling Fed Potato, but she wanted to get closer to each other before she called him by her nickname, "Do you think we're really called Potato Mercenaries?" sounds weird..."
The big-nosed Fan who was standing on the side interjected and said, "Why don't we change the name to the Black Wood Mercenary Group, our head is dressed in black, and he looks like a piece of wood without expression." β
Fei De smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, what is the potato mercenary group, it does give people an inexplicable feeling, but he himself didn't think of a good name, so he had to choose one of the proposals given by others.
"This matter is not for us to consider, let's talk about it when we go to the Holy Light City. β
At this moment, two men were running towards Fidd's team from the direction of the main road in the distance, and not far behind them were five horsemen with weapons in pursuit of them.
"Don't worry about it. "Big Nose Fan reacted the fastest, but his attitude was the most cold.
Kesi hurriedly took out the short crossbow she was carrying and put on a crossbow arrow, she already knew that in the mercenary world, she could encounter danger at any time, so she had practiced this action many times.
"Miss... Sister Koss, you stand behind me first, those cavalrymen don't look like ordinary guys. β
Greif could see clearly that the five cavalrymen were all dressed in special clothing, as if a large yellow cloth had been wrapped around them, even their horses, and the helmets of those cavalrymen were cylindrical, with a straight tip stuck in the top of the helmet, and blue tassels. The cavalrymen each held a wooden cavalry lance, which was usually used for sprinting and could cause great damage to those who hit it.
As for the two people who were being chased, they ran wildly, and they were also very fast, probably people who were trained to run. The clothes they wore were all ordinary civilian styles, but they were unarmed, and it was unknown why they were hunted down.
Fei De asked all his men to move towards the edge of the avenue, he didn't intend to let his people get involved in this kind of thing, after all, the people here are not familiar with the place, who knows who is chasing them?
But as soon as the two men approached Fidel and the others, they shouted, "Help us!
The neighing duo were about to be overtaken by the cavalry behind them, but Fed was unmoved, he didn't believe that those who rode such good horses were robbers, and if it was a mercenary, he might be able to convince him.
However, Ayana had already taken out a wooden bow from behind her, mounted three arrows, and aimed them at the cavalry.
"Attention!" the voice of the leading cavalry struck the ears of his companions through his helmet, but before he could finish his words, Ayana's three arrowless arrowless arrows flew past the two fleeing men and struck three of them in the head. The arrow, which did not have an iron arrow, did not hit the place protected by the helmet, but shot accurately into the eyes of the three cavalrymen, inserted it into the cavalrymen's brains, and killed them in an instant.
Before Fid and Noor could stop Ayana, the little girl had already mounted two more arrows, and this time she didn't hesitate to shoot them directly into the faces of the remaining two cavalrymen.
The cavalryman at the head reacted very quickly, and he immediately used his rifle to block the flying arrow, but his companion next to him was not so lucky, and was immediately shot and dismounted.
"Stop, stop shooting arrows!" Fei De hurriedly held down the quiver with his own hand, preventing Ayana, who was still trying to take out the arrow, from continuing to kill.
Noor also ran over and said, "We haven't figured out the situation yet, why are we killing people indiscriminately?"
The cavalryman also slowed down the horse, and when he saw that there were many good players in this group, he had no choice but to raise his spear with one hand, and draw the knight's sword at his waist with the other, and stand at a distance to confront Ayana.
"But... The two men said they were robbersβ" Keth stood aside, and she could hear what the two men were saying.
The cavalryman dropped his spear on the ground, then took off his helmet with his free hand and said, "Who are you who dare to obstruct our law enforcement?!" The cavalryman's appearance was a little resolute, his beard was cleanly shaved with a cross tattoo on his cheeks, and his hair was cut very little, and he looked quite energetic.
"We are mercenaries. Feder began to suspect that the two men were lying, as he found that the two had run past his team and continued to run backwards without stopping.
"Hmph, mercenaries, mercenaries also dare to interfere with our law enforcement, and you are also very bold, those two people you saved are spies of the Empire!" As soon as the cavalry finished speaking, he put his helmet back on and rode his horse in the direction of the two men. But the two spies had already discovered that there was only one person left in their pursuers, and they immediately split up so that they could save one of them.
Who would have thought that Ayana pushed away Feide's hand and took out two more arrows from the quiver. She flattened the wooden bow horizontally and attached two arrows in different directions.
"Ahh This amazing archery skill surprised both Fei De and his subordinates, although Fei De had heard Avi mention Ayana's archery skills, but he didn't expect this little girl to be so sharp, and she actually shot down six people in a row, and the arrows were not missed.
The cavalryman pulled his horse to a halt, and he looked back at Ayana, no one could see his expression through his helmet, but he must have been as surprised as everyone else present.
"This time it's troublesome, no matter who is telling the truth, we have already offended people on both sides. Big Nose Fan found a stone on the side of the road and sat down, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze, anyway, he was not in charge, so he didn't bother to care.
Patrick searched the belongings of the four horsemen and did find something that proved their identity - the horsemen were knights of the Knights of the Papal Church. The others looked at each other, knowing that Ayana had killed the wrong four good people.
The horseman approached, and Marcus whispered in Field's ear, "It is better to kill him too, and there will be no proof of his death when the time comes, or I am afraid that there will be trouble." β
Greif said on the side: "I didn't kill my sister and me, so we shouldn't be held responsible, right?"
Feder was also considering whether to kill the man with the tattoo on his face as well, after all, Ayana was his partner, and she shouldn't be pushed out in this case, and besides, the knights of the Church Order would definitely see them as a gang.
At this time, Ayana looked at Fidel, and her eyes clearly showed that she wanted to continue killing the knight, but Fei De was still hesitating.
"Who are you?" The knight kept his eyes fixed on the short bow in Ayana's hand as he approached Field, he had just seen the magical archery skills of this unremarkable little girl.
"Didn't you just say that? We're mercenaries! Potato Mercenary Regiment!" shouted Matthews, the golden axe on his back already in his hand.
"Hmph, I don't care if you are a mercenary group or an Imperial spy, although you helped me kill those two people, you also killed my men," he drove his horse to the side of the cavalry lance, and then picked up the cavalry spear with the knight's sword in his hand and caught it with his hand, "Now give you two a choice, either go back with me to be judged by the Church, or leave here and don't let me see you again in the territory of the Papal States!"
Is he still going to be killed?Fei didn't want to turn around and turn back when he was about to come to the Holy Light City, and it seemed that the only way was to do this.
Before Fidel could make up her mind, Ayana had already mounted an arrow and aimed it at the knight. It was too late for him to stop him, and the arrow shot out of the short bow, not in the knight's eyes, but in the throat of the warhorse.
The horse screamed and fell to the ground, and the knight fell with it. The four brothers, Noor, Patrick, and Marcus, rushed over at the same time and subdued each other.
