Chapter 242: The One Who Escaped
readx;
Patrick didn't seem to hear Fidel's words clearly, and neither did the captains who were hiding outside, "Fidel, you just said..."
"I'm going to step down as the head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment and have one of the captains succeed me, and as for me—" Fidel put his hand on his forehead, his tone dejected, "I need some time to think about the way forward." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The captains, who were hiding outside the tent, finally heard clearly, and they rushed in, either standing in front of Fielder and asking loudly, or looking at Fielder with puzzled eyes. Fei De was not surprised, he knew that his men cared about him, and the sound of their footsteps had long been known to Fei De, and Fei De knew who was hiding outside the camp tent.
"Captain, I heard me right, no, I want to hear you say to me, Commander!" Lukka half-crouched down, looking at Fidel.
"This is different from what I said when I was invited to join the Potato Mercenary Group, how can you abandon your own mercenary group?" The blonde-haired Selena looked down at Fidel as if she were looking at a cowardly husband, "Now that the situation in the Mageni Principality is very serious, and the southern region is not safe, you actually want to escape everything at this time??"
Run away from it all.
Fett was touched by Selena's words, he left his hometown to escape the life path set by his father Faulkner, he chose to become a mercenary in order to escape the responsibility of protecting his family and country, he chose to keep his distance from Kesi in order to escape what happened behind Keth, and now he is evading the responsibility of the regiment commander because of the pain in his heart... Fidel closed his eyes, and he didn't contradict Selena, because what Selena said was so correct.
Ayana and Toto were silent, and Jasmine, who was standing on the side, said casually: "If you are not the head of the regiment, let me be the leader of the Mulihua mercenary group, anyway, I have experience, but I am afraid that the other captains will not obey me." ”
Vega, who recently joined the Potato Mercenary Regiment, said: "Although I also think that Captain Phyd has no leadership qualities, it is too reluctant for me to be the leader." ”
"I've decided, you don't have to persuade me anymore. A cold remark silenced everyone.
Seeing Fide's decadent look, Noor slammed his fist into the wooden table where the letters were kept, and Toto immediately grabbed the angry Noor. Fidel knew that his willingness to leave his post had hurt his subordinates who had always trusted him and followed him, so he was reluctant to look them in the eye, fearing that what he had decided after two days would be changed.
At this time, Mave also came to the outside of the camp, and she was informed by Winotchy that Fed was planning to step down as the head of the regiment. "Fed, are you really not a mercenary anymore?" Maev, who had been busy training the army recently, looked concerned.
"I don't know," Feder stood up when he saw Maevie, and it was rude to sit on the ground in front of a nobleman, "but in my current state it is difficult to take on the responsibilities of the head of a mercenary group. ”
Maeve looked at the beard on Fed's chin, she had never seen such a sloppy Fed, "Then you don't have to step down from the position of head of the regiment, you can..."
Ligu answered on the side: "You can take a break, the injured body needs to rest, and if the mood is injured, then you also need some time to rest!" Ligu's words made the other subordinates see a turnaround, and they all agreed with Ligu's suggestion to let Fide rest and calm down before deciding what happened next.
"Let's leave first, give the regimental commander a little time. Seeing that Fed's didn't want to say more, Patrick immediately suggested that the other captains leave Fed's tent for the time being. However, Patrick did not let the other captains disperse, but called Maeve and went to a camp next door to discuss the retention of Field.
"Noor, you were the first to see the regimental commander, do you know that apart from the rebel children, there was anything else that stimulated the regimental commander?" Toto asked immediately.
Noor scratched his head, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "That viscount named Jados once made an agreement with the head of the regiment, but then he regretted it because of some things, could it be that this is the reason?"
"Definitely not, Fei De is a very tough person, and he will never be devastated by being rejected, and you say that it is because the head of the regiment blames himself for not protecting those children well, and this reason does not convince me. Ligu shook his head.
Patrick said: "I've known Fayder for a long time, and he's never been so depressed in front of me. At that time on the edge of the cliff, I saw him roaring at the sky for the first time, and for the first time I couldn't control my emotions, and it seemed that he was really stimulated. ”
The other captains also expressed their opinions, all of whom were companions of Field's life and death, but none of them dared to admit that they knew their leader. Most of the captains said that Fide was a cold and quiet man, and that his judgment was always able to keep the potato mercenary group going, and that his bravery was admired by everyone, but everyone felt that there was an unapproachable distance from the taciturn leader, as if no one could get close.
Like the other mercenary captains, she confesses that she loves Field, but she doesn't know what Fielder is thinking, and it is even difficult for her to find common ground to talk to Field.
"Alas, it turns out that our regimental commander is so far away from us! This must be because the regimental commander does not like to drink! If he is drunk, he can say anything!
"Captain Fede shouldn't have been left alone in the Black Swamp of the capital, if someone was with him—" Lukka sighed, glancing at Ayana. The other captains also noticed Luka's eyes, but Ayana didn't notice that the others had already focused on her.
Ayana, who had not spoken, stood in the corner of the tent, knowing the reason why Fid blamed herself and why Fidel stepped down as the head of the regiment. The decision to step down as head of the regiment was evident from Leonard's death, and even when Matthews died and Marcus left the Potato Mercenary Corps. As the leader of a mercenary group, the life of each subordinate will become a responsibility on the shoulders of the regiment leader, plus Fei De is the kind of person who hates responsibility, but once he takes on a certain responsibility, he will try his best to do his best, and he is not willing to live up to others. Such people are tired, which is why Fidel has always kept his distance from the vast majority of people and has not established intimate relationships with anyone - so that he can reduce the possibility of taking responsibility, and at the same time be able to stop caring about things and not feel pain because of the things he cares about.
AYANA knew how she felt because she had something similar in her.
Ayana, who lost her parents due to misfortune, is reluctant to be close to people because she is also afraid of losing it again. It is better to walk alone, to hide quietly in the crowd. If there's anything different between himself and Fielder, it's that Fielder chooses to run away from it, while he chooses to face it head-on.
"What do you think, Ayana?" asked Ligu.
Ayana looked up, and she noticed that everyone else was looking at her, and even Maefu, who often showed a jealous expression, retracted and became sincere.
"I agree with your previous proposal to give the regimental commander a rest. ”
"And the current situation in the Duchy of Majni..."
Nur immediately patted his chest: "We are mercenaries, not regular troops, if the Mageni Principality is really going to end, we can't stop it, can't we?" Besides, the money can be made again, and it will be troublesome for the regiment commander to run away, and we will continue to cooperate with Fangta City!"
Mafu also nodded, in addition to liking Fed, she also had to shoulder the burden of Fontale City, so the stability of the Potato Mercenary Group was important to ensure the stability of her sphere of influence.
The captains then dispersed, and they decided that it was up to Ayana and Patrick to tell Fid about the Duchy of Magini during this time, hoping that the two of them would be able to convince Fide not to step down from his position as commander.
Moose chose Squadron Leader Toto for his civilian job at Reeves and Toto's technical job, and Toto was happy to accept the child who had been rescued by Fidd, and he took care of Moose as if he were his own brother.
Patrick and Ayana agreed to go to Fidel the next day, but Ayana didn't do what she had promised, and she walked into Fidel's tent late at night with some recently received intelligence letters.
Feder still hadn't trimmed his beard, but he had taken off his black armor and washed it, and he had taken a shower, so that he no longer smelled of it.
"You haven't slept yet?"
"Well, I'm still thinking about it. ”
"Consider whether or not to stay," Ayana said in tune with the other's words. "The other captains know that I'm not good at words, but they let me persuade you anyway. ”
Fidel smiled faintly, and so did Ayana—the two people who didn't like to talk the most in the potato mercenary group looked at each other, and they were the two closest to each other.
"If you look at these letters, you don't have to be the head of the regiment. "Ayana put the letter in Feid's hand, and the usual intelligence letters would be delivered to Feide in the morning, but Feide didn't pay attention to everything in the past few days, so there were dozens of letters piled up.
Feder opened the first one, and the information about the rebels appeared in front of him.
Ufus, the leader of the conservative faction of the rebels, sent troops to try to approach Black Marsh, but due to frequent rain, those swamps turned into water. Using a small boat can be cumbersome, and if you want to walk, you will get stuck in the mud. However, Ufus also began to expand his sphere of influence in the north and south, and several towns were taken by the conservatives. What is puzzling is that the nobles of the Duchy of Mageni still seem to maintain a stubborn posture and do not dare to take the initiative to attack.
The second half of this intelligence letter is about the encirclement and suppression of the rebel faction in the central region. Fide experienced this process himself, and the letter did not point out the infighting within the nascent faction, but commended the noble generals headed by Viscount Jados. They were able to defeat the remnants of the rebels that they were trying to muster, and at the same time they were able to defeat the people who supported the rebels, and they were a great success.
Ayana noticed the change in Fidel's expression, and she leaned over to glance at the letter, "There is no mention of the civilians who died tragically, are they just ants to the rulers..."
"Maybe not even as good as ants. Ayana said what was in her heart.
