Chapter 162: An Unexpected Choice

readx;

All the guests around the autograph desk looked at Field, and less than half knew Field, "And his comrades! that curly-haired dwarf!" The officer waved his hand, and the eight guards standing behind him immediately surrounded him, their swords half-unsheathed at their waists, looking at Fielder like an enemy.

Dockley was also quick to react, and before he could speak, he pulled Mafu to his side first, and those officers were obviously targeting the Potato Mercenary Regiment.

Fidel knew he was innocent, but he remained silent, but Vittorio immediately explained, "Are you sure this is the Duke of Aldington's own order? ”

The officer glanced at Fielder's signature again, "That's right, it's Field, the leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment," the eight guards' hands holding their swords tightened, "You are suspected of colluding with the rebel gang to cause this tragedy, we have received information, you had contact with the rebel organization before the dinner, and the explosion of the cargo ship by the harbor is related to you." ”

"That's the reason. Feder muttered to himself.

"Then you just admit it?" the officer showed a brief moment of joy when he heard it, "Okay, hurry up and go back with us, this is the palace of the principality, and you don't dare to disobey!"

The other guests and nobles were whispering, and the burning of the cargo ship by the harbor had already reached everyone's ears, "It turned out that this guy did it, no wonder the explosion of the cargo ship is exactly the same as the explosion in the banquet hall tonight!"

"The mercenaries from the Duchy of Mageni are really suspicious... If you look at his face, you can see that your heart is empty! I'm too scared to explain, right?!"

"But I've heard that the Potato Mercenary Regiment and the Rebels have fought many times, so why do you want to spoil the dinner party with those gangsters?

Maeve broke free of Dockley, "How could Fed be a suspect! You must be mistaken! He's always been there for me, I can prove it..."

"So you're also an accomplice?!" the officer didn't intend to listen to Maev's explanation, "This is the Duke of Aldington's personal order! What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and arrest him! If the others dare to stop it, they will also be arrested!"

Fei De turned back to Mei Fu and said, "The Qing is self-purifying, since it is the Duke's order, then I should take a trip." Vittorio, who was standing aside, had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

Both Fide and Vittorio were tied with ropes, and they followed the officer out of the lounge.

"Commander, we shouldn't accept this kind of false accusation, right?"

As soon as Field's wrist twisted, the knot of the rope was held in his hand, "Let's listen to their evidence first, maybe we really did something but didn't even find out ourselves," Fielder glanced up at the night, the night when nothing was found, it was really frustrating, "Even if we are framed, we can't break in." ”

Vittorio let out a long sigh, "I actually have a way. ”

"Let's keep it for now. ”

Fide and Vittorio were taken to an underground cell area with several well-decorated cells that looked more like guest rooms than cells.

"If it weren't for these bars, I wouldn't think this would be the cell where we were imprisoned. Vittorio and Fidel were locked in one of the cells, and they could see that there was no one imprisoned in the cell opposite.

Fed placed the "silence" on the wooden table, "Didn't you notice that they didn't take our weapons?"

Vittorio shook his head, "I didn't have a weapon with me, so I didn't notice it, but it's a bit strange, since you and I, Captain, are both considered suspects, why don't they take..."

"Because you are not real criminals. Fide and Vittorio immediately looked in the direction of the voice, and found that a woman had appeared in the cell where no one had been in it just now, and this woman was none other than Meryl, the female officer.

Meryl was dressed in the most exclusive clothes and wore very expensive jewelry, and no one would have thought that she had once been the unscrupulous young woman in the Pearl Tavern.

"You're a suspect too?"

Meryl has a mature temperament, and in terms of appearance, she is a little more beautiful than her sister Rosemander, "No, I walked in by myself." ”

Fei De looked at the other party's face, he still vaguely remembered the night he was with the other party, "You are here to interrogate us." ”

"No, I said that you are not guilty and there is no suspicion. Meryl smoothed her long hair with her fingers and slowly walked over to a chair.

"The Duke's personal order..."

Meryl cleared her throat suddenly, and then uttered the exact same voice as the Duke of Aldington, "Bring the mercenary named Fed, and his accomplices." ”

Fide and Vittorio looked at each other, a young woman in her thirties could imitate the voice of the Grand Duke! Without looking at Meryl's face, it was impossible to imagine that such a sound could come from a woman's throat.

"It wasn't the Duke who meant it, and now the other guests will think that we are complicit in the rebels. Vittorio sighed again.

"If you don't, you may not be touched, and we need privacy and quiet. She said as she began to flip through a document that had been placed on the table.

"The Potato Mercenary Regiment became the twenty-ninth mercenary group on the mercenary list after the Battle of Doret. Then he rose three more places in the ambush that defeated the Oak Mercenary Regiment, and is now twenty-sixth on the mercenary list," Meryl glanced at Fed, her smiling eyes were the same as Orlando's, "What a capable young man, I earned it that night." ”

"Is it the list of mercenaries of the Duchy of Magini?" Vittorio didn't understand Meryl's words.

"Yes, the Duchy of Mageni is very ordinary, that is, it is very good at intelligence, and the list of mercenaries they wrote is very valuable for those lords who plan to start a war, everyone wants to be able to buy the best goods when spending money, and you mercenary groups are such commodities. ”

Fidel remembered that Lazrov, the boxer of the horse, had mentioned this list, although Fidel didn't know what this kind of information was useful at that time, but if you think about it from another angle, those noble lords should indeed have some knowledge of the mercenary groups that can be hired.

Meryl continued to look at the document and said, "The leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, Fed, is about twenty-one years old, a native of the Kingdom of Sarins, and often wears a black plate armor to show people. This person once served as the captain of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and later formed a new mercenary group on his own due to a rebellion within the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and was active in the territory of the Papal States and the Western Oguna Empire. ”

"Our mercenary group is only ranked twenty-sixth, so there are too many mercenary groups that are more powerful than us, right?" Vittorio sat down as well, staring at the mercenary list.

"For example, Toya's Blue Flame Mercenary Regiment is ranked eighth. ”

"The nine mercenary groups should be the first to the ninth, and that oak mercenary group seems to have a place, otherwise we wouldn't have been promoted by three. Vittorio said as he toyed with his fingers and toyed with his hair.

"Vittorio, sixteen years old, is a gifted student at the Peace Grave Military Academy, but because..."

"Stop!" Vittorio said as if he had been stepped on by the tail, "let's get down to business! Why did you bring me and Captain Fede here?

Judging from Vittorio's overreaction, Feder had already guessed that there might be a secret about Vittorio recorded in that document, but the woman with the mercenary list in front of him had more secrets.

Meryl closed the list of mercenaries, "Actually, I'm telling you these things so that you know what you have now. ”

"It's got quality. ”

Meryl nodded, "This is a part, as a new mercenary group, you are already very remarkable. The potential of the Potato Mercenary Group has received a lot of attention, and Captain Fede should know this better than I do. ”

Fidel's mind immediately thought of the invitations of the Rebels and the Principality of Magini, and the Potato Mercenary Regiment was like a very useful chess piece, coveted and manipulated by those careerists.

"At the same time, I got the attention of my master. ”

Fide and Vittorio exchanged a look.

"Your master can't be King Byron of the Kingdom of Salins?" Vittorio asked.

"No, my master is the president of the Mercenary Guild. ”

"Are you talking about the head of the nine mercenary groups of the Mercenary Guild?" Fei De only knew that the Mercenary Guild was an organization united by nine very powerful mercenary groups, and he didn't know that this union also had a president.

"It can be said that my master is not a mercenary, so he does not belong to the Nine Mercenary Groups," Meryl picked up the document and threw it into the furnace, "He is one of the founders of the Mercenary Guild and the hub for the Nine Mercenary Groups. ”

Fei De began to guess the other party's true intentions, "Now the president of the mercenary guild is coming to deal with me?"

Meryl snickered under her breath, "The master has no intention of doing so. We deserve to have a conflict between Captain Fid and some of the nine mercenary groups, but for the mercenary union, it's not a big problem. ”

"What does this mean? Isn't the Mercenary Guild the same as the Nine Mercenary Groups?" asked Vittorio.

"The two are the same, but they are slightly different. Here I will confess to you Captain Feide, in fact, several mercenary groups in the mercenary union are fighting openly and secretly, but because each mercenary group has different spheres of influence, so everyone has not put this contradiction on the table. ”

"If not to deal with us, then what does your master mean by sending you?"

"I hope that Captain Fei can join the Mercenary Guild with the Potato Mercenary Group and become the ninth mercenary group to take over from the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group. Suddenly, a man's voice came from the next cell.
