Chapter Fifty-Nine: Convocation of Force

There was not much time for rest and reorganization, for Satnam, the head of the Church Order, was standing outside the door all the time. In addition to keeping his eyes on the rented house of the potato mercenary group, the knight commander also asked his subordinates to keep an eye on all the exits that could leave the house, and several knights even ran into the back garden and secretly ate the apples that were growing well.

Noor expressed great displeasure at this, and as soon as he had finished packing his things, he rushed to the back garden, plucked the remaining ripe apples in a large basket, and glared at the knights viciously, muttering quietly.

Satnam didn't explain anything to Fyld or Coth, except that it was the Archbishop's order that he must now pack up his things and go to the tent of the Knights of the Church. He said that he had sent a knight to inform the mercenaries of the other potato mercenary groups, and that they would also be taken into the barracks and set off together for the territory of the East Oguna Empire.

After a night of tossing and turning, he still had a little numb in his hands and feet without sleeping well, but he began to suspect that such a forced conscription had something to do with the invasion that had occurred last night, and of course it was not ruled out that the archbishop had forcibly taken them to the barracks in order to control Kosi and spy on them. Just as he was feeling uneasy, Koth walked in from the opposite room and tapped him on the shoulder behind Fett.

"Fed" Keth changed her previous name, and she looked a little stumbling.

Fett looked back and noticed that Kesi had changed into a women's cowhide armor, but the expression on her face was very gloomy.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"Hmm" Kosi crossed her hands and placed them in front of her waist, "I suddenly remembered one thing, that second prince of the kingdom of Salins, Anso, once met me"

When Keth saw Amsoil last night, she didn't remember that she had met the other party. Although both men had spent time in Mallot, the capital of Salins, Amsoil had never set foot in King Byron's harem as a concubine. Moreover, the duke's daughter, who had been under house arrest in the depths of the palace, had only been acquainted with the maid beside her, and had left the palace by chance, and even King Byron had little contact with the princes' stepmother, Rosemund, who had been sent there as a hostage, and had not stayed for long.

But in her dream last night, Kesi remembered a fragment of her residence in the palace. She happened to run to the back garden that day, and she was accompanied by the young queen Rosemund, but just as she was about to leave, a young and dignified man walked briskly towards the queen. This person was Amsol, and there was no one around Ansul at that time, and Kesi thought that the other party was the queen's younger brother or other relatives or something, and she didn't think that the other party was the second prince of the kingdom. Koth looked back at the man as she left, and Amsol looked at Keth and walked away with the queen.

It was only in yesterday's dream that Kesi remembered this inconspicuous detail.

"So, the second prince of Amber recognized you last night?"

"It's also possible that in the morning, when his motorcade passed by, he saw me," Koth said these words with a cautious look, as if she was afraid that if she said the wrong word, she would push the people she cared about into the cliff, "You said that the army that surrounded the city last night was brought by Prince Amor and wanted to bring me back"

Fed remembered the first time he had met the Duke's daughter, Miss Christine. That time, the Oguna Empire sent light cavalry from nowhere to raid the important town of Douro in the depths of the southern part of the kingdom, fortunately Uncle Evan was nearby on a mission, otherwise this girl would definitely fall into the hands of the Empire. So, Feder himself never knew why Kesi fled from Mallot, and because of whom her whereabouts were known to the people of the Empire? Keth's identity is of course very important, after all, Grand Duke Webster only has such a daughter, whether in public or private, she will be the heir of the Duchy of Deramain, even if Sallins sent an army to the Holy Light City to take her away, it is not impossible, but

"No, even if that Ansol knew you were there and planned to take you away, he would not have been able to raise an army of more than 30,000 men in such a short time," Feder shook his head and said, "and he is only the illegitimate son of King Byron, so he will not have so much power at all." ”

Kesi nodded vigorously, her swinging hands grabbed one of Fed's hands, "Fed, actually, I've always wanted to tell you the reason why I want to leave the Kingdom of Salins" Feder stopped when he saw that the other party wanted to speak, could it be that this reason would cause danger to those who heard?" I never told anyone, because I was afraid that if I told my father, it would worry him, but now that my situation is very dangerous, the prince and the people from the church outside may come at me, and I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to tell this secret to someone I trust again."

Just as she was about to speak, Ayana walked in from outside, and Fed's attention was immediately drawn to the fourteen-year-old girl.

Ayana changed into a light blue women's plain clothes, like a playful and delicate boy wearing his sister's clothes. The only thing that remained unchanged was the short bow and quiver on her back, which at first glance showed that it was for people who had not studied dress at all, and this woman's dress surprised Field.

"You're AYANA?"

Ayana touched her chest, then looked down at her clothes and said, "Of course it's me," there were some patterns on the edges of her clothes, "What?

"No, let's go out together now, everyone else is waiting for me, right?" Fidel replied to Ayana behind her, looking at her through the corner of her glass.

"Of course that's the reason, otherwise why do you think I'd come in for you?" Ayana said and turned to leave, but as she walked out, she kept looking down at her clothes and the delicate patterns on the edges of them, and she still didn't understand why she was changing into this women's dress that Uncle Russell had secretly stuffed into the package at this time.

Kesi was about to open her mouth to say something, but Avi and Bignose Fan also came to the door, and although their eyes were still on Ayana walking past the two, Fid and Kesi had already noticed them.

"Hey, do you think Carrie is cute or this boy-like Ayana is cute?" The big-nosed fan tilted his head sideways and aimed at Ayana's back, who looked obviously a boy from behind.

"I don't know, but we'll be able to see in two or three years! You see, our military supervisor Kesi should be seventeen or eighteen years old, but he can get the deputy commander" Before Avi could finish speaking, Kesi walked quickly and knocked him on the head.

"Let's go, what nonsense!" scolded Kess.

And Ayana, who had just walked away, also returned to her room, took out the tightly wrapped "sun", and stuffed it to Avi, "You help me carry it." ”

"Why are you looking for me?!"

"I think you're pretty idle. Ayana replied coldly.

The rest of the Potato Mercenary Regiment had already packed up and stood outside the house. Satnam reminded Fed that this time the backbone members of the Chief Mercenary Regiment might be living in the most core barracks, and the captains of the Potato Mercenary Regiment might not be able to return here for a short time, so they could bring whatever they could, and this is where Noor collects those apples.

On the way to the camp of the Church Knights with Satnam, Fetter suddenly remembered that he had not yet informed Patrick that Hughes, whom he had sent, had just turned back. But just as he hesitated to tell Satnam, Patrick, wearing a mask, appeared on the street.

It turned out that Patrick was going to come over to look for Fed this morning, but he didn't expect a large group of church knights to come outside the house, so he had to stand there and wait for a while.

Fett exchanged a look with the champion fighter, and Patrick understood and walked away.

While I don't know if it's useful to do this, putting all your eggs in one basket isn't the wisest option.

The group followed Satnam into the camp of the Church Knights, where the Knight Captain Riley had prepared a tent for the Potato Mercenaries to rest.

"Deputy Captain Fed, Miss Coss, please come here!" Riley nodded outside the tent, and he bent over to open the tent and let the group in.

Fett was the last to walk in, and he watched Satnam walk away before he grabbed the arm of the knight Riley and asked, "Why is this gathering so sudden?"

Riley immediately took out a large bag of gold coins from his arms, then pulled away the hand where Fidel grabbed his arm, stuffed the gold coins into the palm of his hand, and then asked Fidel to hold the bag of gold coins tightly, "This is the military expenses, not the reward for this Church Alliance's attack on the Oguna Empire! Please rest here first, the archbishop will soon gather the leaders and explain the situation." When he had finished stuffing the money, he looked into the tent again, and when he was sure that Kosi was there, he left.

Fidel turned back into the tent and threw the money bag into Noor's bag containing the apples.

"Deputy Master, I have just heard a passing knight say that it is the common intention of the archbishop and the pope to summon us to prepare for the expedition this time. Noor took out the money bag and counted the gold coins inside.

Luca, the cavalry squad leader who rarely spoke, said: "Deputy Commander, I have something I want to write a letter to send to my family first, can they let me leave for a while?"

Fidel shook his head slightly, he knew that this kind of thing would not be allowed. To put it mildly, now their situation is a bit like that of forcibly conscripted soldiers who have lost their freedom. This is also the most difficult point to accept as a mercenary, after all, freedom is the biggest feature of a mercenary.

"By the way, what about Squadron Leader Patrick?" Marcus asked.

"Don't worry, he hasn't lost his freedom yet. Feder blurted out.
