Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 86 The Missing Two (I)

"For the sake of honor... Regulars?hhhhh Neither the mothers Jonny and Miranda, who are far away in Golden Hoof City, need any honor for themselves, they just hope that they can return safely. Thinking about it this way, being a mercenary and then earning some money is indeed the right life trajectory. When I have the ability to return to Golden Hoof City, and then clear my name, and give them a happy and simple life, isn't that what I really need?

Seeing that Avi was in a state of deep contemplation again, he knew that Avi was no longer entangled in Hughes's death, so he said, "Let's quickly follow the deputy commander and go back and see how much we get paid this time," he wiped his nose, "Think about it, we have driven away the powerful Imperial regular army!"

Rashad and Selena led most of the Church fighters and mercenaries to the small town of Crafeld, while leaving the Knight Captain Riley to lead about 500 knights of the Church to patrol the perimeter of Rivercastle and pay attention to the movements of the Imperial troops who retreated to Rivercastle. The infantry of the Kingdom of Salins, led by Guillermo, collected the bodies of the dead Kingdom soldiers and buried each body on the spot in a quiet flat area upstream of the riverbank. This is the tradition of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sallins after their sacrifice - to let the souls of the dead be guarded in the place where they died.

The chief knight also came with her subordinates to assist in the burial of the kingdom's soldiers, and she also buried the body of the captain of the guard, Chedy, with her own hands. Guillermo did not expect that the strongest captain of the guard around Prince Ansul would die in this battle, he examined Chedi's body, and after learning the cause of Chedy's death, he asked everyone to bury the captain of the guard in the ground.

The Potato Mercenary Regiment also followed behind the large force, and they lost nearly twenty men in total, with Hughes's death being the greatest loss in the battle. Marcus tells Fett that he has a hard time retrieving the bodies of his other companions from the battlefield littered with dead bodies, so he has to take Hughes's corpse back to Crafeld City.

Although the scale of Krefe City is not large, the civilians inside have long been evacuated, so even if tens of thousands of soldiers and mercenaries live together, there are still many houses that can live. When the Potato Mercenaries return to Crafeld, Fed discovers something unexpected.

Both Coth and Greif are missing.

The guards guarding the city of Crafeld reported to the Chief Commander that they had indeed seen the two men described by Fidel, and they thought they were wounded mercenaries and paid no attention to them. However, the city guard also said that he had not seen the two leave the city of Crafeld.

This is where it gets weird. When they return to the place where the potato mercenaries are housed, they find that the two who were supposed to be there are nowhere to be found. With the personalities of Coth and Greif, they don't go out for nothing, and the only explanation is that they may have been arrested.

The other captains all said they wanted to go to the two, but Fidel stopped them. "You're all tired, take a break," Fidel looked at Avi, Marcus, and Noor as they looked concerned, knowing that they all had made Korth and Greif important partners, "Greif isn't the guy who can control him with a few people, maybe they're just going to do what they need to do." Fed noticed that both of their bags were still here, with everything but their bodies and the huge harpoon in Greif's hand.

After a whole day of fighting, everyone was also sleepy and hungry, or went to eat or rest, in short, they had to rest for a while. The knights sent by the deputy head of the regiment, Rashad, told Fed that he had to enter the council hall of the city of Crafeld in the evening, and that the archbishop and the pope had important matters to consult with the various heads of the regiment.

After Fide agreed, he returned to his room and lay down on the bed to rest with his eyes closed. I don't know why he feels so tired today, as if he has been staring at a place with his eyes for a long, long time, that kind of mental tiredness. He didn't think long before he fell asleep.

At night, Feder suddenly woke up. He dreamed of a different head for Korth, like Squad Leader Hughes. It was only when he opened his eyes that he found that it was Ayana standing beside him, and the other party was about to cover him with a quilt.

Seeing that Fidel had woken up, Ayana hurriedly threw the quilt on the bed, then turned her head and said, "Get up quickly, it's night..."

Before she could finish speaking, Noor ran in. Noor glanced at Fid and then at Ayana with her head down, he didn't understand what the situation was, "Deputy Head Fid, Rashad has sent a knight to urge you to attend the meeting again, and he also said that he wants to invite Miss Koth to come with him." ”

Fett then remembered that he was going to the meeting, but Keth didn't come back while he was sleeping, and it seemed that something had really happened.

A fyled washed his face, thinking of Kleth and Greif. You must know that since they met Greif on that passenger ship more than half a year ago, the three of them have basically not been separated for long, and have spent most of their time together - in fact, it is Greth who has been following her, and Greif is closely following Greif to protect her. Now the sudden disappearance only reminded Fett of the letter that Keth had shown to him that night in the City of Light. After all, Greif is a close associate of Walter, the third prince of the Kingdom of Salins, and he also mentioned in the letter that he will take Greif away on the appointed date, could it really be that Greif took Klesh away? If this is the case, then Greif should still be safe now, and it is not a good thing to be able to return to the Duchy of Deramain.

Fett was walking in the direction of the council hall as he thought about Korth. Although he hoped that Kesi could follow his own path and not drag himself down, after this period of getting along, Fidel had also developed trust in Kesi, and the other party's heart for him could also be felt dimly. Her sudden disappearance made Fidel feel a little sad, and now he could only hope that she was safe. As for Uncle Evan's side, Fidel had already figured out a countermeasure when Andre was around. He didn't need Mallot's forgiveness for him, after all, he was not afraid of shadows, and it was not he who took the duke's daughter captive, but she escaped by herself.

Thinking of this, Feder remembered that Keth had always wanted to tell herself why she had escaped from Mallot, but it was too late to ask.

In the chamber sat "Talon" and General Guillermo of the Kingdom of Salins. The latter's white hair was like milk, thicker and snowier than Xue Rui who was in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment at the beginning. However, Fidel did not know the real age of this General Guillermo, and perhaps he was sixty or seventy years old.

In addition to this, Jennifer, the leader of the Shepherd Dog Mercenary Regiment who had recovered from his injuries, was also in the hall. The mercenary leader was only himself and the two of them, while the archbishop and the pope sat in high positions respectively.

"Warriors, toast first!" According to the Illuminati rule, the Pope is not allowed to drink alcohol on normal occasions, but he broke this rule and "Cheers to our great victory!" he said as he drank the wine from his glass.

Although the others were quite surprised, they all picked up the wine glasses in front of them and drank them together. Archbishop Arthur Auerbach had been watching Fed, and if Feder was not mistaken, the other party must have wanted to find Klesh. So it can be inferred from this that the disappearance of Coth and Greif has nothing to do with the archbishop?

"Leaders, regimental commanders, this time the defeat of the regular army of the East Oguna Empire, you say, who is this merit?" the Pope swept the faces of the people in high spirits, ready to be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

Jennifer spoke first, "I think the reason why we were able to sit here and create an opportunity to go head-to-head with the Imperial Army is due to Arturas, the head of the Servant Mercenary Regiment. "Arturas is rumored to have been sent back to the City of Light for further treatment, and his subordinates are only a few dozen left, and like Jennifer, who lost all his subordinates, the two leaders of the most powerful mercenary regiments in the Papal States are now only glorious.

The Pope nodded, and he looked at Fidel and motioned for him to speak.

"I think it's the infantry regiments of the Kingdom of Salins, and they're the key force in turning the tide of the war. "Selena, the chief knight, was rescued by Guillermo's infantry phalanx, and it makes sense for her to praise her.

The Pope still looked at Fidel as if everything else was saying was in the ears of the air.

"The strength of the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Sallins is extraordinary, and although the heroic Chedi has been lost, I am sure that the Second Prince of Ansoil will also be relieved by this great victory. The archbishop spoke.

At this time, "Sharp Claw" immediately came out to contradict his brother, "So, isn't it more worthy of the knight mercenary group that came out to the battlefield at the end and left after a circle?" ”

The scathing, mean-speaking "Sharp Claw" did not give any face to everyone present, and he did not only sit in his seat and talk, but also walked to the door of the lord's hall after he finished speaking, and then returned with a tightly bound man in his hand and threw it on the ground.

"This guy is Viscount Hollis's nephew, Lord Martin. Martin's mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth, and he kept making "whining" sounds.

Archbishop Arthur Auerbach snorted coldly when he saw that it was the arrogant nobleman this morning.

Only then did Fei De say: "Since the leader of the enemy has been captured, tearing apart the leader of the mercenary group is the first achievement." ”

But the Pope suddenly said: "No, this Pope thinks that the Chief Regimental Fielder is the first to take credit." ”
