Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 25 The Bishop's Letter
The archbishop's handwritten letter, Fed, took the letter from the other party, and he did not open the envelope immediately, but held it in his hand.
"Then I'll take my leave, I hope the villain will have a chance to work for him in the futureβ" he said this, and glanced at Kesi again, "I will have the opportunity to work for Deputy Commander Fei in the future!" he said and walked to the rest of the barracks.
The three people next to Feder were a little surprised by the flattery of the knight chief Riley, but I believe that after reading the archbishop's handwritten letter, all doubts will be solved, right?
"It's the archbishop and the chief knight, what the hell are these people doing? Even if we are tall and handsome, and Coss is delicate and cute, we can't be so courteous, right?" Marcus stroked his beard with one hand, and casually "flattered" him, and as he spoke, he walked out of the Knights' barracks, knowing that his brother must be impatient.
Fyder, Cose, and Greif exchanged glances, and they could all tell that the Knight Chief Riley was fawning over Christine, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Dlaman, a girl named Coss. As early as half a year ago, when he met Greif, Fed knew that he was the third prince of the Kingdom of Salins, and Walter, who was exchanged to study in the Duchy of Deraman, had been protecting Greif from afar, and Greif had been by her side was the best proof of this.
Whether in the Lunar Shield Mercenaries or in the Papal States, Fed never monitors or restricts Greif's freedom of movement, and he can always report to Walter, who is in Winter City, the capital of the Duchy of Deraman. Feder has always known that Klee and Greif are the most unstable factors on the team, and for no other reason than Cash's identity.
After the group returned to the rented cabin, Fidel began to inform the other squadron leaders and squad leaders of the results of their meeting with the head of the Church Order. Ayana just listened quietly to what Fid said, and didn't express her opinion.
"That's pretty much it," Feder noticed that some people's eyes were still full of doubt, "I know there are people who don't understand why we're joining the Church League, but the answer will soon emerge." "Instead of telling everyone what he really thinks in his heart, when he was learning how to be a leader, he learned one thing from Russell β that is, you can't tell everyone else what you think, and sometimes you can wait and they can speak for themselves.
Kesi said, "By the way, didn't that knight write you a letter, show it to everyone!" The duke's daughter seemed to be in a good mood, but also, even the girl who was once regarded as the pearl of the palm would be impressed by the hospitality of others, and the diamond necklace was indeed very valuable, and that Riley also put a lot of thought into it.
Feder had no intention of keeping the letter out of the window, so he took out the archbishop's letter, opened the envelope, looked at it, and read it to the crowd.
"Leaders of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, this bishop only pays tribute to you on behalf of the ecclesiastical power of the Papal States, and I believe that with your participation, the strength of the ecclesiastical alliance will be greatly improved. Please also pay tribute to Archduke Webster, Arthur Auerbach, on my behalf. β
When Fid had finished reading, Marcus said, "Why should we pay homage to some Grand Duke on his behalf?"
"Yes, we don't know any Grand Dukes, and they say that our joining will make the Church League much stronger? Noor interjected.
Only Fidel, Coss, and Greif knew what was said in the letter. Silk, who was still pleasant, began to show a sad expression after listening to Feld's letter, and even Greif wrinkled her thick eyebrows.
Fei De knew that the hidden danger that had been following him would finally have an impact one day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
The Papal States bordered the Duchy of Dramain, but the two countries had always been peaceful and friendly neighbors, not allies like the Duchy of Dramain and the Kingdom of Sahlins. This kind of thing is also a matter of course, the Papal States are only a small land, and the archbishop has a policy of non-alignment, so he maintains basically friendly diplomatic relations with all the countries - except for the East Oguna Empire, which is wary and hostile to each other.
Now that the archbishop had learned of Korth's true identity, it would be a shame not to "arrest" her as a hostage or send her back to Dlaman's Winter City. It is estimated that the archbishop does not know why the daughter of the archduke is here, and he has changed her name and committed herself to a small mercenary group with no name. But the archbishop had to do something, and he chose to please the daughter of the duke without much blatantness, and it seemed that the archbishop had other plans.
Realizing these points, Fidel began to think about Kesi's safety. Truth be told, in the beginning, Fidel didn't take the safety of Kesi on his shoulders. She escaped from the Imperial round-up, was rescued by herself from the Baron, and then willfully followed herself to become a mercenary. There have been many dangers in the process, but the other party still does not give up - or rather, they do not give up.
In fact, after some things, Fei De also noticed that this girl had some special feelings for herself, but a young man who had never experienced emotions was always very clumsy for this kind of thing. So far, Feder has felt very strange and even inexplicable about some of the other party's actions, in short, in his eyes, Kesi is just a partner who fights side by side and a small trouble that cannot be avoided in his eyes.
The rest of the Potato Mercenary Regiment talked about it, but none of them knew why the archbishop had written such a letter to them.
Team Leader Leonard also suspected that the Archbishop Arthur Auerbach had written more than thirty such handwritten letters and sent them to the leaders of all mercenary groups, which was an act of drawing people closer to each other, and the purpose was to make all the mercenary groups stationed in the Holy Light City work for them.
Seeing that there was no result of the discussion, the topic shifted to another direction.
"Now that we're part of the Church Alliance, what are we going to do next?" Noor had become active since the mission to exterminate the greenstem plants. Thinking that he was just a farmer who cultivated the land, he was strong and sturdy, and later he was forced to join the thieves group, and also mastered some pickpocketing and stealing skills, but after meeting Feide, his life also changed a lot. Now he has felt comfortable with the life of the mercenary group, and one evening, in private, he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Fidel, believing that he was the guide of his destiny. So now, he is already eager to try the future and tasks, like going back to his youth.
"You don't have to do anything, you don't want to do anything. "Lying in a corner with his hands on the back of his head, Big Nose Fan will always be the most leisurely one of the potato mercenary groups.
However, the crowd began to get used to his personality and style, and did not take what he said seriously.
Avi raised a hand, and he said, "Do you say we should equip each captain with a war horse?" The horse farm boy was thinking about this question when he was in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, why is there no one else in the entire Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment except for the cavalry squadron, no one else is equipped with war horses? As far as he knows, before the Oguna Empire was divided, it was a big horse country, and the whole country attached great importance to the cultivation of cavalry, among which it was represented by the excellent war horses of Golden Hoof City, and many of them were attributed to Avi's mother Joni.
Avi noticed that many of the mercenary group's squadron leaders and squad leaders were infantrymen, and they generally didn't know how to ride horses or weren't fit for them because of their weapons. But once you enter the battle, mercenaries with and without a war horse are completely two levels, and even when retreating, you can rely on the advantage of the war horse without being overtaken. In his heart, he thought that since the potato mercenary group was based on these more than ten people, the lives of these people were too important, and it might be better to have the protection of war horses.
"Horses, I never ride a horse!" Matthews replied loudly.
"yes, I'm not used to riding horses. Noor chimed in.
"You're the leader of the cavalry squadron, but we're not," Marcus touched his ram, which would have caused a lot of obstacles if it had been lifted on the horse's back, "and besides, we may not be able to use our strength on horseback." β
Seeing that everyone disagreed with his plan, Avi had no choice but to give up, although his starting point was good, but he did lack some consideration.
"In my opinion, we still need to inquire more about what the other mercenary groups are doing," Franklin whispered, as if he was afraid that talking loudly would scare the apple trees in the courtyard, "after all, those thirty-three mercenary groups are stronger and larger than us. β
Avi and Kesi both nodded when they heard this, although these young people are very capable of learning, but the elders or experienced people are their teachers, sometimes a newly established mercenary group is like a newborn baby, many things have to be relearned to do well.
"Well, then send Nur and Avi to find out about the situation of the other mercenary groups. Fidel assigned the two of them a task, and both said there was no problem.
In addition to learning about other mercenary groups, the remaining recruitment plans and the training plans for the new mercenary groups were also immediately put on the agenda.
The plan to recruit mercenaries was still carried out according to the original schedule, but some of the mercenaries did not have good weapons, and Fed planned to let Greif be the negotiator to discuss the replenishment of weapons with Riley, the knight captain who had been constantly courteous today.
As for the training plan for the new mercenaries, Fei De intends to put the Marcus brothers in full charge, after all, they used to be the leaders of the mercenary group.
With everything on the agenda and planned, Feder finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the next thing he had to think about was the question of Korth's identity.
