"It's so cool!" Winotki rubbed her eyes, and she couldn't help but admire even the enemy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info And everyone, including Fed, was so frightened by the sight of the black eagle that they opened their mouths slightly when they saw it - if the big black eagle wasn't trained and had a very close relationship with Clermont, the moment he fell from here, he was doomed to pieces. Here I have to admire Clermont's courage to dare to use such a way as his own way back.

However, while everyone was surprised, Fei De also realized that he had more or less fallen into the trap set by the other party, the trap of delaying time.

Fed then asked his men to leave the place and follow the same path back to the cave with three exits. Maev had already arrested the overseer and a few of the noisy miners, and was waiting for Fidel to come back.

"Why are you arresting me?" cried out one of the miners as soon as he saw Fide return.

"Let us go!"

"Yes, our boss is not you! you trespass on our boss's private domain!" the overseer twisted his body even more, not afraid of the group of mercenaries and knights standing beside him.

Mei Fu walked up to the strong overseer, leaned down slightly, and stretched out her right hand to hold the other party's cheek, "Listen to me, you are now suspected of colluding with the rebels, and all the miners here will be sent to Fontale City for trial! If you know each other, tell us where those rebels have fled! Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life in the dungeon of Fontale City!" she pretended to intimidate the other party, and looked sideways at Field, who was walking over, as if she was a little majestic.

The overseer shook his head, spat on the ground and said, "What evidence do you have that we are colluding with the rebels?! We are all civilians who keep to ourselves, you nobles think you are superior, no wonder so many commoners of the principality want to join the rebels, I think it is because you bully the weak! You will have retribution sooner or later!"

Fett walked over to the overseer, then helped him to his feet and untied the rope, "What's your boss's name, and where is he now?"

The Overseer glared at Maev before he said to Fidel, "Everyone calls him 'The Singer', he is one of the top merchants in the Duchy of Mageni, this mine belongs to him, you should release us immediately and get out of here!"

"Singer?"

Maevus straightened up and replied, "Singer Ufus, it is indeed a big merchant with a face in the Duchy of Majne, but it doesn't matter, did you find a member of the rebel army just now?"

Fylde shook his head and told Mave about Clermont's escape. He said that the miners and the rebel cadres were just pawns trying to delay their time, so that the rest of the rebels who were hiding in the mines could escape. It is estimated that when they received the information that the potato mercenary group was going to raid here, they had no time to leave from the mountain range here, so they let these miners delay them.

"In that case, let's chase it out!" Marf suggested.

"Don't be too anxious, after all, the rebel cadre's delaying plan has already been seen through by us, and..." Before Fid could finish speaking, a mercenary ran in from behind the cave, and the mercenary grabbed a white dove with his left hand and a note with his right hand, and the white dove that was clung to it made a painful chirping sound.

"Commander, please take a look!"

Fidel immediately opened it to check the information sent by Vittorio, "I don't know if it's bad news, an hour ago, those rebels hiding in the territory of the mountain dwellers suddenly had a disagreement, not all the rebels were united in breaking through from the exit of the mountain range, it seems that a small group of rebels instigated the mountain dwellers here, let them pick up weapons to fight, and the object of confrontation should include your mercenary team." ”

Fett calculated the time, if Vittorio was sending a white dove to himself in the city of twins, it would take at least an hour for the white dove to fly here, and if those hiding in the mountains had Vittorio's internal response, then it would take at least an hour to send information from the rebels, so that Vittorio's "an hour ago" was about four hours ago. Unless Vittorio sends a white pigeon nearby, there will definitely be a big delay. Could it be that the iron ore outlet is now full of rebels and mountain dwellers, waiting for them to go out with weapons?

Fei De immediately put everyone on combat alert, and then asked his men to escort most of the miners back to the small forest, leaving only the overseer and a dozen or so miners who had just made the most noise, and let them lead the way. Fidel also considered having these dozen or so people as their shields, if it was a last resort...

The miners then pointed to a path into hill dwellers' territory, and sure enough, it was another deserted exit. Fidel and Maeve immediately told everyone to follow the miners out of the cave and onwards.

After seeing Vittorio's third secret message, Patrick couldn't help but remind Fidel: "Although we came prepared, we had already thought that we would fight an enemy several times our mercenaries, but if the enemy became an innocent mountain dweller..."

"Patrick, I've thought about what you're worried about," the five fingers of Fed's right hand were opened and closed, and there was still a sore pain in his wrist, "Count Endrida just wants to borrow our hand to eliminate those mountain dwellers that he doesn't like, so those nobles will question me for only bringing so few mercenaries here." ”

"In that case, how should we deal with an enemy who mixes rebels and civilians?"

"Didn't I tell you that night that the rebels weren't among our fellow believers?"

"That's right, that's what you said. ”

Fei De lowered his voice, and Maev, who was walking in front, couldn't hear a word, "The nobles here are not our fellow believers, if we meet the mountain dwellers mixed with the rebels, then we don't see them as enemies and wait for the opportunity to move." ”

Patrick nodded understandingly, although he didn't know what it meant to "not see the enemy as an enemy", but after leaving the Arena of Honor, he still tried very hard to be a professional mercenary, and many other things were still learning and understanding.

After that, everyone followed the dozen or so miners along a wide iron ore mountain mountain passage, until the moment they walked out of the cave, everyone could see clearly that all kinds of simple houses in front of them were the territory of the mountain people, and most of the mountain residents stood in front of the door of their houses, vigilantly looking at the mercenaries and knights who came out of the iron ore mountain range.
