Chapter 13 Partners (II)

Most of the arms fell to the ground, and no one dared to pick them up.

Those Cox's subordinates had always thought that this black-armored mercenary was a piece of wood, but who would have thought that he would suddenly cut off their boss's arm. Before, Shorthair Cox was a person who completely overwhelmed the potato mercenary group in terms of momentum, and they were mercenaries of the Mercenary Guild, so they never thought that there would be a moment when they were too scared to move.

Although Cox's eyes were full of resentment, Feide didn't seem to see it, and directly asked the other party's subordinates to take him away, and he didn't dare to pick up the broken arm on the ground. Patrick slowly wiped the blood from his sword, and the other captains were uneasy.

"Captain Fed, though Shorthair's Cox's words are too rude, but... Wouldn't that be too impulsive?" Selena, as the captain that Fielder relied on a lot, it was most appropriate for her to ask questions on behalf of the other captains.

Fett shook his head, "Our relationship with Constable is just a partnership, and this mercenary is definitely not something this mercenary can casually shout and accuse. Fidel was a little surprised as he sat down, but it didn't take long for Fide to get used to the feeling. The action just now was not simply out of anger, it was more about the responsibility of a regiment leader - as Vittorio said before, a mercenary group can have all kinds of powerful characters, but as the leader of the group, Fidel must be the most powerful.

Vega said: "I don't think there's a problem with the regimental commander's approach at all! If it weren't for Captain Fidel's first move, I might not be able to help but take out my blade!"

Some of the other captains chimed in, and they gradually recovered from the slight panic they had just had, after all, the Fielder they knew had never done anything like this. Only Ayana's eyes were slightly different when she looked at Fidel, because she seemed to see the same Fidel who stoned the rebel cadre Niva to death, and the Fidel whose hands were covered in blood.

Ludwig's messenger was dead, and Fidel sent someone to deliver the bad news and his hope of meeting Ludwig as soon as possible to Ludwig's place. Shorthair Cox was gone, presumably leaving the Ice Painting Harbor and was about to tell his head about it. Feder wasn't worried about what would happen to Constable, the mercenary with the binoculars and drawings with him was no ordinary mercenary, and he would neither be rash nor do what Feder was doing now.

"Why don't you just kill Cox?" Ayana found Fid in the middle of the night, who was still looking through the geography of the Kingdom of Cosse.

"Why kill him?"

"You had the urge to kill him, I could see that. ”

Fei De didn't reply, he had already found a reasonable explanation for his actions, but Ayana's two words made Fei De start to look at himself again. Fidel did feel the urge to kill the other man when Shorthair Cox was roaring, more because his men were being insulted, especially the one who had been kicked down and Noor.

"Probably because my companions are being treated rudely. Fed thought for a long time before answering.

"You weren't like that at first," Ayana slowly looked away, "When you first arrived in the Holy Light City, you always thought of yourself. ”

"This change... Maybe not a bad thing?"

Ayana didn't nod or shake her head, she looked into Fidel's eyes, and after a long time said, "In the forest, most animals will take their own lives as the bottom line, but only those animals that need to protect will let go of this bottom line, such as the swan that is incubating eggs. ”

"It's an interesting analogy. ”

"Your companions will protect you, and you will protect your companions, and perhaps one day, even the most powerful swordsman will fall, because he has someone to protect. ”

Fett's sudden fantasy that one day, one of his most trusted subordinates would die to protect him, was not an unattainable hypothesis, and if Shorthaired Cox was far superior to him, perhaps this assumption would have happened today.

Ludwig soon sent a new emissary, and he did not ask about the "accidents" of his men, saying that he would arrive at Ice Painting Harbor in ten days, and would arrive here on Winter Country's newest icebreaker, inviting Fid and the other captains to join him. He hoped that Fide would bring more clothes on board, as the temperature on the coast was much cooler than on land.

Vittorio asked Marie to tell Fidel that he would not be attending this meeting with Ludwig. Vittorio advises Fid to respond with sincerity when Ludwig shows sincerity, and with indifference when he shows hypocrisy and treachery, and although he has only a few acquaintances with Ludwig, he believes that Ludwig is a capable man who can not only lead a herd of snow leopards, but also shoulder the responsibility of leading the country to prosperity.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the people who gradually adapted to the low temperature climate of the Ice Painting Port were still defeated by the temperature of the coast. Eight of the ten captains who followed Fed aboard were sneezing, and all of them had frozen faces and ears as if they were about to freeze. Fortunately, Ludwig quickly got everyone into the cabin, and the picturesque scenery outside the ship had to be abandoned.

Fenrir was the last person to enter the cabin, and he originally wanted to take a look at the current situation in the Kingdom of Kose, but he didn't expect that the extremely cold weather made this knight mercenary who had been living in the warm south unable to adapt, and his body immediately had some adverse reactions. Ludwig's accompanying physician then treated Fenrir and he was taken to another room.

"It's finally a little warmer here... It's really... It's too cold," Jasmine grumbled as she put her hand next to an iron stove with burning firewood. The other captains also complained, but Ludwig's words surprised everyone even more.

"Wait a minute, the big ship that can carry three hundred people will leave the port of ice painting and go to a place further north," Ludwig said he had met for the first time, dressed in black-speckled pure white animal skin armor, his arms unwrapped in clothing, but still wielding freely in the icy environment.

Jasmine shouted, "It's over! I'm going back to Ice Painting Harbor! I'm going to die of cold!"

Ludwig, with a pointed and long chin, smiled confidently: "As long as you stay in the cabin, you won't die of cold, but for you mercenaries living in the south, the Kingdom of Kosai is indeed a place to test you, this land is not easy for any enemy to step into, even the army of the Oguna Empire has to stop fighting in winter, they can't leave the furnace even an inch." ”

"So Winter Country will only be defeated by internal forces, can I understand you like that?" Vittorio didn't come, but his sister Mary did, and the first thing she said was thorny.

Ludwig glanced at Mary and then at Field, "I originally wanted to take you to the winter scenery of the Winter Kingdom first, but I didn't expect this captain to be very impatient..."

"Her name is Marie, and she is Vittorio's sister. Feder said on the side.

"It turns out to be Vittorio's family, Miss Mary, please say hello to Vittorio on my behalf, he is an amazing businessman. ”

"There's so much nonsense that I'm not interested in listening to it. Mary turned to a man with a basin in one hand, picked up a warm drink, and stood in the corner. Except for the men Feder had brought with him, the only ones present were the servant and Ludwig, but the room was full of guards.

Ludwig casually sat down on one of the chairs, "Captain Fidel, captains, I'll get straight to the point! I need everyone's strength, but the aristocratic faction led by the Marquis of Ampvo also wants your strength, so... So lend your power to the aristocratic faction. ”
