The Potato Mercenary Regiment had recovered in mid-December, and for more than a month, Fide and Vittorio had worked together to recruit new subordinates in the city and other cities while training more. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe captain of every potato mercenary group is so busy that he doesn't even notice the snowflakes falling on his face and shoulders.

After that ambush, Fide gave Reeves and Selena an order - half of the resources of the Potato Mercenary Regiment should be used for the establishment and improvement of the cavalry squadron, and to ensure that the Potato Mercenary Regiment would be built with a cavalry squadron of one-third of the number by the end of the year, and each mounted mercenary should be equipped with the most suitable equipment, and they must be trained by Selena.

This decision was the result of joint deliberation between Fidel and several squadron leaders. In that ambush, the small cavalry squadron, led by Captain Luca, played the most crucial role. The performance of the cavalry squadron left a deep impression on Fidel, which made all the captains realize that the center of the continent with a lot of flat land is in great need of cavalry, and only by fighting on a war horse can they gain an advantage in the battle.

Selena and Luca are of course very happy, although they are tired of training their subordinates, but now the cavalry squadron has become the main force of the potato mercenary group, and Selena's grading system has been fully implemented, for them, no amount of hard work is worth it. Although the other squadron leaders and squad leaders were not convinced, the role of the cavalry squadron was indeed irreplaceable, and the improvement of the status of the cavalry squadron also inspired the fighting spirit of the other squadrons.

The loss of that ambush and the creation of a new cavalry squadron drastically reduced the funds stored by the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and Fielder began to pay attention to the various mercenary missions that his subordinates accepted. The highest reward task is to eradicate the thieves outside the city, and Fei De once sent a small number of subordinates to reconnoiter there, but unfortunately no trace of the thieves was found. Perhaps because the area around Dutim City had begun to be covered in snow, the thieves were also hiding, and Fei De asked his subordinates to say hello to the mercenary house in Duji City, saying that the potato mercenary group would continue to take on this task until the thieves were found and solved.

"Finally re-recruited the number of our mercenary group to two thousand," Chief Warden Reeves hurried into Fidel's room with a report, followed by Vittorio, "There were some Duchy Magini people who broke away from our mercenary group before, and the number of people lost in that group break has been made up, which is the number of squadrons now." ”

Reeves placed the report on Field's desk, and he looked left and right to see Jasmine and Patrick standing on either side of the team.

Fidel picked up the report and looked at Vittorio, who was standing behind Reeves. The short boy worked under Reeves for a month, and although there were fewer things to manage and deal with, he did not slack off in the slightest, but worked very actively and diligently, and won the praise of many captains.

"Well, the number of mercenaries is guaranteed, there are no problems with training, and it's time for us to prepare plans for next year. ”

Vittorio understood the difference in status, and he immediately bowed slightly, "That subordinate will step back first." ”

"No, you can stay here too, the future plans of our mercenary group should be made public to everyone. ”

Vittorio nodded, and he and Reeves stood beside Jasmine. This female squadron leader with an Adam's apple has just recovered from a serious illness, but she can't wait to return to the mercenary group, she has already begun to adjust the crossbow team, and those crossbow teams that did not perform well on the ambush battlefield have been reduced to a part of their personnel, all of which were proposed by Jasmine Squadron Leader, which also made Fei De see Jasmine's determination and courage clearly.

After a while, the rest of the captains were called in, including Rigu, who was no longer in the hospital.

"First of all, I have one thing to ask you," Fielder picked up a letter on his desk, "this is an emissary from the Duchy of Noo, whose Grand Duke Aldington has invited our mercenary group to the upcoming wedding in late December, between Lord Luthers, son of the Duke, and Princess Margaret of the Kingdom of Cose. ”

The captains exchanged glances, and Lukka said first: "It's so strange, we don't have much friendship with the Duchy of Noo, and there are no people we know on both sides of the wedding, how can we invite a mercenary group that is in a hostile country for no reason?"

Luka's question is also on the minds of most captains, who certainly don't know that Fide once had a chance encounter with Margaret. But Feder knew in his heart that even if he happened to save the Ice Princess of the Winter Country, it should not be a reason to invite him to the wedding, after all, Margaret would not want others to know about the events of that night.

"There is nothing else in the letter, the polite words of the invitation should be exactly the same, but the object of the invitation has been changed to the name of our mercenary group. Patrick said as if he had read the letter.

Vittorio said loudly as the other captains whispered, "I know that the new leader of the mermaid mercenary group, Dockley, has also received the same invitation, and only our two mercenary groups have received wedding invitations in the entire Dumu City, and no mercenary group has received wedding invitations in our surrounding cities. ”

Vittorio's words caused all the captains to stop whispering, "There must be some reason for this, right? They only sent invitations to the two mercenary groups in Dutim City. One of the captains said.

"Could it be that they want to trick us into the Duchy of Nuo, and then capture or kill our captain?"

"No, although the Duchy of Noao and the Duchy of Magini are hostile, they are far from the time for war, and besides, it is still on the wedding day of the heir of their principality, so there is no need for such worries. ”

"Then why did you invite us?"

"It's possible that they want to recruit us to play for the Duchy of Noʻl. ”

"But there are also mercenary groups that are stronger than us in the Principality of Nuo, is there really no conspiracy in this?"

The gossip made Fidd's room noisy, and when he received the letter this morning, he had considered all possible reasons and had given only one answer.

"We're just treated as guests to be invited," Feder stood up, eye-level with all the captains, "at best, we're going to be wooed by the Duchy of Noo, after all, we're mercenaries." ”

As soon as Captain Fide said this, most of the captains stopped discussing it. It's not so much that there will be other conspiracies, but I really think it's something to celebrate, after all, it's a political marriage between two countries, and it's not particularly strange to have a mercenary group with prestige and strength in the Duchy of Mageni involved. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, perhaps the captains have become cautious because of the previous assassin and ambush incidents, so they will want to find a reasonable and safe reason for the first time.

"So Captain Fed, are you going to go to the meeting?" asked Selena.

"I also need to think about how far this is from the Duchy of Nou?"

Vittorio replied, "The city of Dulumbers is on the border of the Duchy of Magini, and it is close to the Duchy of Noo and the Duchy of Deraman, and it will take three days and three nights to ride from here at the earliest. ”

"But that wedding will invite some other mercenary group, right? Maybe there are mercenary guild guys here..."Captain Franklin's eyes drooped as if he was telling a horror story.

"That's right, if the head of the regiment decides to go to the wedding, maybe he will really meet a guy with bad intentions, and we can't get out of the nest, and then it will be troublesome..."

After listening to their words, Feder also realized that he had no reason to go to the meeting, although Margaret has the beauty of the country, but the Kingdom of Cosse and the Duchy of Noo have not made up the relationship with him, maybe he will encounter the Moon Shield Mercenary Group...

"Then this matter is over, and we will focus our work on next year's mercenary group planning. ”

Fidel listened to the captains' reports. Mary, who had been imprisoned in the utility room of the mercenary quarters, was still the same, neither telling them the information about the rebels nor willing to surrender to Fed. Vittorio, who is Marie's own brother, says that his sister has begun to wear soft clothes and will only need a little more time to get important information from her mouth. But the other captains didn't think so, they thought it was just an excuse for Vittorio to save his sister, and for Vittorio's sake, the dissenting captains couldn't think of a good way to deal with Mary, so they had to lock the female assassin there all the time.

On the other hand, the activities of the rebels have weakened a lot after the onset of winter, the crisis of the Assassins has also come to an end for the time being, the nobles and mercenaries of Dumu City are relieved, and the potato mercenary group has not allowed their reputation to continue to deteriorate because of the hibernation of winter, this "hibernation period" is a good thing for everyone.

Vaughn, the leader of the Oak Mercenary Regiment, was not caught, and it was rumored that he seemed to have escaped from the Duchy of Magini and escaped the charge of attacking the Potato Mercenary Regiment. Fidel knew that even if someone encountered Vaughn in the Duchy of Magini, he would not necessarily catch him for the potato mercenary group, after all, the battle between the mercenary groups had nothing to do with the nobles in those principalities, and the claim that he was willing to help Fidel was only for the sake of Count Endrida's face.

Fidel and the captains decided to break up after checking the situation in the last month, as the cold winter made everyone tired easily, and the snow outside the house made it easy to get tired.

"Ayana, hasn't she come back?" Feder stood in front of the window, looking out the window at the snow, the white snow covering all the houses in the city with a white coat, such a sight was rare for Fed, who had lived in the kingdom of Sarins since he was a child.

Only Patrick was left in the room, "She didn't come back, she should still be in that forest, counting today, it's been half a month since she left the hospital and ran into the forest." ”

"It's so cold, even the animals can't stand it. ”

"Do you want me to send someone to bring her some clothes? ”

"I'll go in person later. ”
