Russell noticed the expectant eyes from his seat, but he still smiled and stared at Fidel, and it wasn't until Calder coughed several times in a row, spitting a mouthful of thick, yellow foul phlegm on the floor, that Russell turned to look at the mercenaries who were attending the meeting.

"The city of the Nexus is close at hand, but as the mercenaries of the Winter Kingdom, we don't know where the day of our emergence is," Russell ignored Fielder and gave a speech to the mercenaries on his own, "Although under the leadership of King Adam, we have divided a small part of the Duchy of Mageni, will the environment in the Winter Kingdom improve?

There was a whisper of agreement from the seat, and Fei De heard some mercenaries also curse Ludwig in a low voice, thinking that this person who grew up with the snow leopard had no humanity at all, ignoring the actual situation of the Cosai Kingdom, and forcibly sent troops to the center of the vortex of the continent, causing the entire Winter Kingdom to fall into a different predicament because of the war again.

Russell seems to be very adept at fiddling with the listener's mood with a touching phrase and a long enough silence, but that technique doesn't work well for Fidel.

"So it's time for us to put aside our stereotypes, and even some of our Winter traditions......"

"What do you mean, Russell?" asked an older-looking mercenary.

Russell glanced back at Calder, "I have already discussed with Captain Calder and Captain Luigi, and this time accepting the call of the Marquis of Ampvo is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The old mercenary shrugged, "So what? What does it have to do with us?"

"It's very high," Russell glanced at Fed, as if asking for advice, "ostensibly, King Adam was looking to consolidate the territory captured by the Winter Kingdom, but in reality...... I and the other regimental commanders believe that this is a historic decision to point to the center of the continent! The 'Winter King's Army' is not to maintain the territorial garrison of the Duchy of Mageni, nor is it an escort to escort the migration of civilians, but an attacking army with great combat effectiveness. ”

"Attack, who are we going to attack?"

"Only Lord Ampwer knows the answer, but the Lord has already whispered to me......"

Russell believed that even an uneducated peasant could understand what he meant. There may be some mercenaries who have the idea of "completing a mission and going home with money", but Russell's words dispel them. Although the people of the Winter Kingdom did not receive clear instructions when King Adam issued the call, many people suspected that the purpose of the formation of the "Winter King's Army" was not pure. Whether it is to appease other countries, or to hide people's eyes, in short, the "Winter King Army" has always been not light or serious since the birth of the call.

Just as the mercenaries below were whispering to each other, Russell turned his head to Fidel and asked in a low voice: "Captain Fidel, with the strength of you and your mercenary group, you should make contributions to Lord Ampwo and the Winter Kingdom, we have long been tired of the boring tasks of repairing the city wall, escorting the caravans, and crusading against bandits, this 'Winter King Army' is a gift from heaven for us mercenaries of the Winter Kingdom." ”

As the other person spoke, Feld realized that Russell was not trying to convey something important, but was observing himself.

"The Kingdom of Cosai has suffered from wars in recent years, and there is no reason to provoke any more wars, and the new legions of the Winter Kingdom may be more defensive. ”

"Doesn't Captain Feder believe in Lord Ampwer and ...... King Adam's determination?"

Feder didn't reply, but the old mercenary shouted out.

"The Marquis of Ampvo has said before that he wants to raise an army to recapture the land of the Winter Kingdom that was invaded by the East Oguna Empire, even if we are not going to consolidate the territory of the Duchy of Mageni, we should go to the East Oguna Empire to settle accounts?"

Russell sneered, "Of course the accounts of the East Oguna Empire have to be settled...... But not now...... As long as we follow the instructions of the Lord, a greater opportunity will be given to us elites......"

Feder didn't know Russell's personality, and the other party's repeated hints seemed to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiation, and this kind of negotiation was not one-on-one, but Russell's to everyone present. Just then, Feder noticed Giustiniani standing in the corner of the arena, the former gladiator with his arms crossed and his head bowed. The unaffiliated mercenary also noticed Fidel's gaze, and he raised a slender finger and pointed at his ear, his scarred smile as if to tell Fidel to listen carefully to Russell.

"Captain Russell is right," Calder's words stopped the whispering mercenaries, "We Winter Mercenaries should have joined forces a long time ago, I've had enough of the task of transporting ice to towns......! Fight against a force on this continent!" Calder's rough hands are telling about the difficult days of the mercenaries of this country, in fact, even the lords of the winter country are mostly not glamorous, and paying the mercenaries to protect the territory is just a waste of money, because there is nothing worth protecting. It is even more difficult to make a living as a mercenary in the Kingdom of Kosai than a farmer around Mallot, so no matter what the task is, as long as you can earn money to support yourself and maintain a certain degree of freedom, it will be accepted by the mercenaries of the Winter Kingdom.

The middle-aged woman behind Luigi also made it clear that the Broken Boots Mercenary Group would support Russell, and was even the first to stand up and elect Russell as the co-leader to lead the mercenaries who joined the alliance. In this case, many independent mercenaries and small mercenary groups echoed the voice, these guys are obviously worse equipped and dressed than the mercenaries of rich countries in the center of the continent, in Feide's eyes, unless they have special skills, it is impossible to become an influential mercenary force. Although Feder has no intention of joining this group, he is very interested in Russell's mysterious "real goal" and "opportunity", after all, he and Ayana came out to inquire about information, but instead of asking for information, he sat here and became a guest, like a chess piece.

"That'...... What does Captain Feld think?" asked a mercenary in a cautious tone. Russell also shifted his gaze to Fiddle, the guy in the white fox fur cape, whose mouth was like a slightly curved line when he wasn't speaking.

Fidel looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, including Giustiniani, and he began to think about how to answer in order to find out more information but avoid being trapped. Russell seemed to see through Field's inner thoughts, approached Fielder with the least range of movements, and whispered in Field's ear: "Captain Field, that Lord hopes that we can seize a life weapon, and that life weapon is in the territory of the Principality of Magini, as long as we can take it and hand it over to the adults, we can increase the rank and become a knight! You and I can have a power that will not be ignored in the Kingdom of Cose! This is only the first task...... In the future, we will have more opportunities that no one else will have access to. ”

When Fidel was still surprised, Russell stood up, "Don't worry, Captain Fede's sincerity today is actually to make a statement, so we should use the mercenary group to ...... With personal strength as the criterion, Captain Phil should be the one who leads us. ”

What? Put me in a strange position again? Feld didn't say what was in his heart, but he still reacted with two kind words to show his refusal. Unexpectedly, Russell immediately accepted Fidel's refusal, and under the strong recommendation of Luigi's mother, he became the so-called "chief of the regiment", while Fei and Calder were the "deputy chief of the regiment".

The noisy environment did not make Fidel lose his composure, and it was not Russell's whispers that made Fidel lose his composure, but Giustiniani's predatory eyes—did the unaffiliated mercenary and Russell's goal be the same?
