Chapter 416: Warm or Cold
readx;
Squadron Leader Jasmine opened her mouth wide, then slowly curled the corners of her mouth, narrowed her lips, and finally burst into laughter, and she almost danced as a madman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fei De waited for a while and did not see any of his subordinates stand up to express their disapproval, and everyone seemed to be just a little stunned, but soon most of the captains returned to their normal expressions. The captains who were reluctant to speak were all affected by Jasmine's laughter, and they didn't say anything about Fidel's decision.
"In other words, I will leave Morning Light City with the Potato Mercenary Regiment. The time to leave Dawnlight City is undecided, and the target location is undecided... It was not even decided who would follow him to the kingdom of Kosai. ”
Although Winotki was very frustrated, she immediately asked, "By whom... Commander, what do you mean by that? Why didn't I understand?"
Luca, who was standing beside Winotki, also asked, "Yes, didn't you decide to leave the warm Morning Light City with the Potato Mercenary Regiment, Commander?"
As soon as the word "warmth" was mentioned, the captains who wanted to stay in Dawnlight City felt a pang of sadness. They felt that no matter what reason Captain Feder gave later, it would be difficult for them to let go of the idea of staying here this winter. It's about to enter November, and the north is bound to be snowy at this time, and many people who live in the north will choose to leave there and live in the warm south. However, the regiment commander suddenly changed his mind and abandoned the Morning Light City that had only been set after leaving Dumu City, which really puzzled these captains.
"I plan to leave some of the Potato Mercenary Group's subordinates in Morninglight City, and even consider sending some of my subordinates back to Dumu City, and use both Morning Light City and Dumu City as the stronghold of our Potato Mercenary Group," all the captains didn't expect Fei De to make such an arrangement, "I will seriously consider the selection of candidates who stay here and go to Dumu City, and the number of people will not be very large, and the large army of the Potato Mercenary Group will still follow me and go north." ”
"To the north, to the north just for those two treasure spots where there may be buried treasures?"
"Not just for the treasure, I think the Kingdom of Kosai is the next stop for the Potato Mercenaries, not the peaceful Duchy of Deraman. ”
This clear sentence made many captains begin to understand what Fid meant, peace is not what the Potato Mercenary Group needs, and there will be no strife in the place where Morning Light City is located, but the Kingdom of Cosse is completely different. At this time, some captains had clearly understood Fidel's intentions, and some captains had changed their initial minds, after all, they were companions who followed Fidel's life and death, and cold was nothing compared to loyalty.
Noor clapped his palms, "The kingdom of Kosai is a good place! Except for the poor living environment, everything is good there, we are mercenaries in the first place, and life is almost nothing... But if you go to the northernmost part of the Winter Country, it's really cold, and even the sea will freeze..."
Selena also said, "I have long been aware of the cold, after all, I once thought that we would be part of the Mercenary Guild. As soon as the former female knight said this, everyone remembered the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group and the Beauty Mercenary Group. The mercenary guild mercenary group in the Kingdom of Kosai is the weakest, and the potato mercenary group does not have to worry about this.
After seeing several of the most high-ranking captains in the mercenary group speak like this, the other captains also let go of their hesitation. Toto only asks for more men to take care of his ballista cart, as the mechanical parts may fail in the cold, Vega fears that the extreme cold will affect his performance and will not be able to perform 100% in battle, and Winotki plans to knit a sweater for the gray-and-white folded cat that Ayana has raised and cared for, so that the old cat can survive the harsh winter of the Winter Country.
After confirming that there was no objection from the captain, Fidel began to discuss specific arrangements with several squadron leaders. Benjamin, who was most opposed to leaving Morninglight City in winter, was given the right to stay here at the first time, and Fede would guarantee his R&D funds, even if Benjamin didn't end up with any results, the Potato Mercenary Group would still provide them with protection.
Selena quickly realized the pros and cons of leaving Morninglight City, and her analysis in front of the squadron leader was similar to the "three disadvantages and three pros" written by Vittorio overnight, and she also mentioned one point that Vittorio did not mention - the Duchy of Dramain was likely to act together with the Kingdom of Salins, and for the Kingdom of Salin, the neighboring Empire of Theoguna and the Independent Alliance were the most likely targets. Both of these forces have served in the past, and as long as the Potato Mercenary Group wants to expand its influence and earn more rewards, it is very likely that it will have friction with these two forces.
But leaving Morning Light City and going to the Kosai Kingdom will not have such trouble, after all, the enemies of the Kosai Kingdom are mainly the East Oguna Empire, and this country may have regarded Fid and the Potato Mercenary Group as enemies that will never be removed.
Fidel didn't think that far ahead, and the other squadron leaders also expressed their opinions, all of them had agreed on the decision to leave here and set off for the north, and they all looked forward to a challenging future, even if it was the northernmost part of the icy continent.
When Patrick was left, the former champion gladiator asked directly, "Is it because of Vittorio that you suddenly decided to change the direction of the mercenary group, Fidel?"
"You guessed it. ”
"Of our group, I'm afraid he is the only one who has the ability to lay out this strategic direction, he is a visionary businessman, and he is also a top student of the Peace Grave Military Academy, but don't forget Field, he only has the Duchy of Mageni in his heart. ”
Fei De pondered for a moment before replying: "The Potato Mercenary Group can't just be a mercenary group with strength, it's not enough to be strong alone, we still need greater development." ”
"We almost got success from there. ”
"yes, just a little bit. Fed's eyes closed, and everything he had experienced in the Duchy of Mageni came back to mind, especially Mave's voice and smile.
Patrick didn't interrupt Field's recollections, he took a sip of tea, then took off the mask, and after simply cleaning the mask and putting it back on, he saw that Field's eyes were open, and the dark eyes seemed to be a little moist.
"I also thought about it, the Winter Kingdom is indeed suitable for a powerful mercenary group like us. Besides, we have an old acquaintance like Ludwig, and the Kingdom of Cosey is more reliable than the Duchy of Magne, so we will have more room to play. Patrick turned sideways to Feder so that he could calm down without anyone looking.
Feder himself didn't expect the year's experience to affect him so deeply, and he simply told Patrick to leave, leaving him alone to read the letter written by Vittorio.
At the beginning of the Old Kingdom's calendar, the mercenary leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, Fide, chose to turn his eyes on the Kosai Kingdom, and Morning Light City became a small stronghold of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and this young mercenary group only stayed here for less than a month.
During the month, Fide met with some of the nobles of the Duchy of Deramain who came to visit. The principality nobles did as Vittorio had expected, with distrust written on their faces, and their suspicions mixed with wine poured into their stomachs. Although they did not say it explicitly, Fidel's previous experience obviously affected their judgment, none of the nobles planned to hire this well-known mercenary group, and they all expressed the same opinion - the Duchy of Dlamain would not be an enemy of any country on the mainland, they wanted to protect the peace of the Duchy, and only peace and stability were the future they sought.
Unlike Duke Yannis who summoned Fidel, Archduke Webster of the Duchy of Dramain did not have any call for the potato mercenary group, and even the nobles above the earl level did not greet the potato mercenary group entering Morning Light City. On the contrary, some mercenaries from the vicinity of Morninglight City have come here, either hoping to join the potato mercenary group or to make friends with Fidel.
The young mercenary Mustang has summoned his companions to Morninglight, but it is said that the Mustang Mercenary Group is still gathering other local mercenaries, all of whom are interested in following Fed's legacy and making a career. In fact, in addition to those reasons, the generous treatment of the potato mercenary group has also attracted many people who want to join.
Fidel and his men would visit Vittorio every few days, and every time he walked down the street, he would come across young women who cast seductive glances at him, most of them with curly brown hair and pale green eyes, like Desire. Whenever a young woman approached Fed, the mercenary captain around Feder walked away in a familiar manner, or took the initiative to "sell" Fed, after all, Fed's reputation was not good, and such a young and capable handsome man was of course very popular. As long as Captain Ayana is not with Field, the other male mercenary captains will act in a way that bothers Field.
Many of Fed's suitors thought it was a sign of rejection, and the enthusiastic and bold women of the Duchy of Dlamain became more active, and they even went to the camp of the Potato Mercenary Regiment outside the city to show favor to Fed.
Early one morning, as Fed was about to enter the city to meet the person in charge of the mercenary house, a well-dressed woman rushed out of the alley with a long object in her hand. By the time Noor and Lukka stopped each other, the woman had fallen to the ground with her slippery foot, and the long object had been thrown out of the wrapped coarse cloth, a two-handed sword wrapped in rattan.
Before Lukka could step forward and help the other party, the woman raised her head, "Captain Field, Captain Field, please save my father! Please!" The woman supported the cold ground with her hands, her eyes were full of sadness and pity, and not far behind her, there was a little girl standing in the alley, and the little girl looked very similar to this woman.
