"Eggsie... I remember. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Feder looked at the childhood friend in front of him who had the same skin color as he did back then, and the other person's long hair was tied up, like a bouquet of flowers on his head, a little messy.
"You look exactly the same as you did back then!" he reached out to pat Fidel on the shoulder, but Fede subconsciously dodged it, "Don't do this, we're good friends, I lost something to save you!" He saw Fidel's vigilant look, and immediately talked about the past.
It turned out that when he was fighting with the bandits, the bandit who was blinded by him couldn't see, so he struck Eggsie's ears with both hands, and finally tore the two pieces of flesh on both sides of Eggsie's ears, and almost took off his ears. Now Eggsy had put iron rings on his remaining ears just to keep his ugly half-ears from being seen, after all, the young and handsome Eggsy made it clear that he didn't want the girls to hate him because of this defect.
After leaving Fidel's father's village territory, he went to live in the next village, and because of his dexterity and agility, he was already the chief scout in that village after only five years. He even single-handedly eliminated a gang of thieves of more than a dozen people, when he was only eleven years old. Dissatisfied with staying in the village, he began to travel and even meet the old ministry of Fidd's father, Faulkner, to learn the fighting techniques of the regular army and knights.
"I also felt ashamed of Oride's father because of Oride's death, so I left my hometown, but I didn't expect to run into your father's old ministry," Eggesy didn't seem to know that Feyder's relationship with his father Faulkner was already stiff, "At that time, the Knights of the Iron Wall had just been disbanded on charges of treason, so many of your father's old ministries were working in our hometown of Louval, and they didn't want to leave your father. β
"I know that my father's men are well-honed warriors, and their loyalty and will can stand the test. β
"So, at that time, King Byron had not yet condemned your father's men, and by the time the king's decree was delivered to take your father's old men back, I would have been able to learn to become a teacher!" he pointed to a slender sword at his waist, which looked somewhat similar to the knight's sword used by knights on warhorses, "When you were younger, you were stronger than me, and you were fast, but now I am not the six-year-old me anymore!" He immediately threw two empty punches, as if to provoke Field.
But Fide showed a rare smile, "Although it is strange for you to appear with the Chief of the General Staff of the Theoguna Empire, I, as the host, still need to invite you to today's dinner first. β
"Ahh
"It's just that the leaders of the other three mercenary groups want to have a celebration banquet," the rewards sent by the Theoguna Empire have already arrived, and they have also sent a lot of wine and meat, even if they are forbidden to leave the barracks, it is still okay to have a good time, "You and your friends should come together." β
Eggsy nodded, and both men behind him nodded in thanks.
By the time the banquet began, the commanders, deputy leaders, squadron leaders, and squad leaders of the four mercenary groups had already taken their seats. The banquet was placed on the camp in the open air, and the other more than 1,000 mercenaries were scattered around the place where the regimental commander's banquet was held. Each mercenary was given a sumptuous meal, and Captain Ahei kept carrying the barrel, lifting the child-high barrel with one hand to pour wine for those mercenaries, as if whoever was not drunk tonight would not give him face. Ayana also patrolled around the camp, and the Theoguna Imperial soldiers who were watching them seemed to realize that there was a feast going on in the camp, and they were all salivating over the fragrant food and wine. Moreover, the soldiers also said that they were the only ones who suffered the most, and that all the cities in Doret and on the capital's defense line had entered a state of revelry, and they had taken out the war food they had stored before and ate and ate freely in order to celebrate the victory.
Ayana also told Fid that she had heard that the more than 100,000 soldiers of the East Oguna Empire had withdrawn to the city of Yiwang, and that there was no sign of any intention of tearing up the armistice.
Fide sat at the same table as Eggsie, Reeves, and Noor, and the roasted whole lamb, steak, roast chicken, and other meats on the table were frantically torn by Noor and stuffed into his mouth. Reeves' eating is relatively Sven, while Eggsy likes to hold a knife and fork the meat in his mouth, and this habit of eating meat reminds Fielder of Cherry.
The mercenaries of the Mulihua Mercenary Group are all dressed up, and these delicate men look no different from women, causing many other mercenaries to find them to drink and dance, so unhappy.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I want to introduce you to two of my brethren first," Eggsy said to Fidel, who had only eaten a few bites of food, as Noor walked away to get the meat and Reeves went to the toilet. β
With that, Eggsy let the two of them come over. Broken Eyebrow was thirty-two years old, of medium build, with a deep scar on the left eyebrow, which had split his thick, long eyebrows in two, and now his face looked like there were three eyebrows, but each of them was of a different length. Eggsy tells Fett that Broken Eyebrow is skilled in crossbows and mounted spears, and was formerly a reserve cavalry member of the Knights of the Iron Wall. Because he lost his job not long after joining the Knights of the Iron Wall due to the dissolution of the Knights, he later joined Eggsie.
The stone axe was a thirty-eight-year-old man who had been a robber and was adept at using an axe made of stone. The blade of the axe is blunt, but if someone is hit by it, it is estimated that all the internal organs will be shattered. He only agreed to follow the young Eggsy after seeing what he was capable of, and all of his former robber companions were captured and sent to prison.
"They've been with me for five years, and they're my most trusted companions and brothers, just like you and Aride were when you were kids," said Eggsie, and the two returned to their tables with amusement, "but I've made a vow that I will never let my brother die in front of my eyes again!"
His words touched Field's heart, Oried died to save himself, and Orid and Eggsey, who could have walked away, rushed to those father's enemies desperately. If you think about it from another angle, it was really my father who killed his partner.
"The past is gone, and I don't think about the past anymore. β
Fidel's words were heard by Reeves, who came back, and the chief warden immediately said: "I'm also such a person, the past things are like my hair about to fall out, no matter how hard you try, those things can't grow back!"
The banquet lasted until midnight, and most of the mercenaries were already drunk. After a three-day adjustment period, they slowly realized that the battle of hundreds of thousands of people was really over, and the soldiers of the Theoguna Empire guarding outside the camp did not seem to have malicious intentions towards them, so tonight's revelry came at the right time. After all, mercenaries are not regular troops, they are less restrained than many people, and the soldiers who guard outside can only be envious.
Although it was a drinking party, Reeves still took advantage of this time to tell Fed some information that he had only received today. The investigators of the Theoguna Empire have already interrogated Derek, but it seems that they have not obtained any results, they have prepared to investigate several members of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, etc., and it is estimated that they will come to the camp within a few days. And he also went to the city of Doret today, and happened to meet the little emperor Manfret and the regent Xiumo holding a sacrificial celebration in the city, as if to thank the Holy Goddess for giving them the power of the Holy Oguna Empire, so that they could successfully repel the invaders. Most of the people bowed to the goddess when they saw her appearance, and they said that the goddess was descended from earth, and that it was the forces of nature that she summoned to drive away the enemy.
And the regent Xiumo also said that because the Holy Oguna Empire made a concerted effort to repel the enemy and decided to stop the tax revenue of Doret City for a year, it is now celebrated in the city, which is estimated to be grander than the banquet of these mercenaries. There were also many celebrations in the territories controlled by the St. Augusta Empire in the west, and even the Kingdom of Salins, the Kingdom of Cose, the Duchy of Delaman, the Duchy of Noao and the Duchy of Magini also sent congratulations and were willing to establish new diplomatic relations with the Holy Oguna Empire, but the Papal States were silent and did not know why.
"What about the East Oguna Empire?"
"It is estimated that they have all become lost dogs, and I heard that the losses of those invading troops are much more than estimated, and many soldiers have been burned by electric shocks, and the scene of the wounded is shocking and very terrible. Reeves swallowed his saliva as he said this, and it was estimated that some disgusting images had appeared in the mind of the chief superintendent.
Originally very curious about the power of life weapons, but now he has a new understanding of the power of magicβthese forces do exist, and these forces are the forces that change the order and balance of the continent. When ambitious people have these powers, they will become the new masters!Thinking of this, Fei De couldn't help but hold down the moon shield with his hand.
I have one of my own, but when will I be able to awaken the power that sleeps in the shield? Without it, I am still too weak, too small.
It wasn't until Reeves was gone that Eggsy found Fidel alone. Fett didn't drink, so his mind was still clear, and Eggsy drank a lot of good wine, but he didn't blush at all or was unsteady, and seemed to be a master drinker.
"I haven't seen you for many years, you are already the leader of a mercenary group, and you are also a mercenary hero of the Theoguna Empire. β
"How can the mercenary hero be placed under house arrest and suspicion, this is just being used. β
"Isn't that better? They're using you, and you can use them, and you won't feel guilty. Eggsy untied the knot that bound her hair with her hand and tied it back up, but it was still the same mess.
"So you're not here to catch up on the old days. β
"I can't hide your eyes, Fed," Eggesy narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether it was because of alcohol or sleepiness, "Your father asked me to come." β
