"What do you mean by not calling a mercenary group?" asked One-Eyed Marcus, scratching his orange hair.

Ayana looked at Fid and said, "It's nothing, whatever, I don't care." ”

Fed knew that Ayana's family had been killed by mercenaries, and it was rare for her to be able to follow her to join the mercenary group, but since Russell had handed over this quirky little girl to herself, it was equivalent to becoming her own responsibility, although it was troublesome, but she still had to be responsible.

After hearing that he had been appointed as the leader of the cavalry squadron, Avi wanted to speak, "Senior Feide, I've only been a mercenary for less than two months, I'm afraid it's hard to be competent..."

"I have confidence in you, so let's try it first. ”

Avi never thought that he could become a squadron leader, and he originally just wanted to sneak down to obtain information, but now he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he was surprised.

"Okay, then for the time being, let's settle the leaders of each squadron of our 'Potato Mercenary Regiment' first," Fei De asked Kesi to bring some pens and paper, and wrote down the basic assignment of duties, "Since our mercenary group does not have enough suitable candidates, some squadrons will not be established for the time being, and I plan to let Kesi be the military supervisor." ”

Keth was still writing the names of the others with her head down, and when she heard that Fed had appointed herself as a military supervisor, she pointed her finger at herself in surprise, "I, don't be kidding. ”

"That's right, we potatoes... Well, the Potato Mercenary Regiment is in ruins, so everyone should do their part, and the combatants are too dangerous for you as a girl. ”

Keth realizes that Feder is protecting herself, and her innocent girl's heart is immediately touched by the other party.

"That's right, sister, you can be a logistics staff. Greif chimed in.

"That Ayana," said Big-Nosed Fan, pointing to the little thief girl, "isn't she also a little girl? ”

Fett didn't respond to Fan directly, he just asked Kesi to write the list of various positions and give it to him. After reconfirming with the captains, he announced that he would be the leader of the Sword and Shield Squadron and that Nur would be his lieutenant.

A group of dispossessed guys began to discuss the other details of the group, and Nangus just laughed at these "Captain Singles", anyway, he only cared about the three thousand gold coins that Fid borrowed from the rock thieves, and he didn't care about anything else.

In the evening, the crowd began to discuss where they were going to make a comeback. One mercenary suggested returning to his hometown, Free City, but this was rejected by most people. Although the free city is prosperous and free, there are a large number of mercenary groups there, and some of them are even pirates. That's right, it's indeed a commercial artery, and if you put down roots there, it will definitely not be a problem to make money, but there is also Gesin's one-eared mercenary group there, and that guy is the boss of that place, and it is difficult for other mercenary groups to raise their heads.

One mercenary proposes to stay away from the north and go to the south of a warm continent, such as the kingdom of Salins. Marcus suggested that the emerging Western Oguna Empire, since that country was split from the territory of the Oguna Empire, it would definitely be baptized by war soon, and if it was a mercenary group, it would not be worried about finding a job.

Fei De also considered this suggestion, after all, from the information he received, the woman who held the real power seemed to be a person with mysterious powers, and maybe she really had the ability to change the world.

Noor, for his part, said that all three principalities were good choices.

Although the Duchy of Mageni is a swamp, it is now at war with the Kingdom of Cose, and it needs mercenaries. Moreover, the Duchy of Mageni has always been wealthy, and when the old kingdom was divided, it robbed the most gold and silver treasures, and there were definitely many opportunities to make a fortune.

Although the Duchy of Deramain is very weak, they have the Kingdom of Salins as their support, and the capital Winter City is the artistic and cultural capital of the mainland, with a beautiful environment, and people who live there are estimated to be able to live quite comfortably.

Ivon, the capital of the Duchy of No'o, is the center of mainland commerce and is well connected to the city, making it the best place to stay if you are looking for a task to protect your caravans.

Fett had never been to any of these three places, but he knew that Coth would not agree to go back to the Duchy of Deramain.

Nangus, who had been listening to their discussion, suggested: "You might as well go to the Papal States!" Everyone else looked up at the sweating thief, "The Papal States is a place that has always been neutral to all countries, and there are absolutely a thousand kinds of tasks that can be accepted there, and the place with the most choices is the best choice." ”

As far as Fei De knew, the Papal States, though they were said to be a country, were actually just a city. The city was founded on religion, led by the pope, who ruled the region. Among them, Archbishop Arthur Auerbach is the one who has real power in the Papal States, he is in charge of the affairs of the Papal States, large and small, and he is shrewd and capable.

The churches in most countries are under the leadership of the pope, and in each country, the pope has some influence, so no country dares to attack the city - except for the Oguna Empire.

The Oguna Empire had launched an attack on the bordering Papal States many years earlier, but at that time, under the patronage of the Old Kingdom, the Oguna Empire had failed. The empire had its own state religion, so for them, the pope was the head of the pagans, which is why all the countries bordering the Oguna Empire were hostile to it, and the question of religion was a major reason.

When everyone heard Nangus's proposal, they all felt that it was acceptable.

The city of Light, the capital of the Papal States, is located in the center of the continent, connecting the Kingdom of Sahlins, the Empire of Augusta, and two principalities. Now the Oguna Empire has been split in two, so the Holy Light City only borders the Western Oguna Empire. But its unique geographical environment determined the prosperity of the Papal States, where the people were all the most devout believers, and the archbishop would distribute daily necessities to the inhabitants of the city from time to time, and the people who lived there were very happy. In addition, the City of Light is the third most populous city on the mainland - with the exception of the capital of the Old Kingdom, now the capital of the Duchy of Nuo, Evon and Grimmko.

The only people in Fed's group who have been to the City of Light are Greif and Coth, but they all appear to know nothing about the Papal States. Noor, on the other hand, said that he had stolen a man from the Papal States who was covered in gold.

The Marcus brothers and the remaining five mercenaries all had their eyes lit up when they heard this, the reason why they were willing to become mercenaries was because of money, and the place with more money should be the best place.

In the middle of the night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Fidel walked out of the cave alone and came to a small stream. The moonlit forest had a faint green glow, and a little bit of fireflies lit up the remaining darkness at the bottom of the trees. The water is clear, and the smell is sweet and has a fragrance that is unique to the woodland.

Fed decided to leave tomorrow because they had stayed here long enough.

At this moment, Keth appeared behind him, and Fede had already noticed it.

"Don't you sleep so late?" Fidel asked first.

"I guess I said that, and sure enough, potatoes don't have to sleep?"

Fidel smiled faintly. It has been almost half a year since he left his hometown, and he has seen and experienced a lot in this half year. He has also changed from a young man with a wooden expression and a loner to what he is now—he can laugh at other people's jokes, he will no longer be alone, but will start to rely on the strength of others, and even take responsibility for the burden that others throw at him.

These changes were things he didn't imagine at first. From Koth to Andre, from Eddie to Alain, these people were changing him, and he wasn't too resistant to what might happen.

Maybe people are like this, no one can tell why, or there is no need to sort out why.

"Tomorrow we're leaving here and leaving for the Papal States," Feder looked at the scar between Kiss's eyebrows, who remembered that she had fallen off her horse and been in a coma all night, "If you want to follow me, will it be another useless beginning?"

"Yes, you and I both wanted to be mercenaries, but now it's okay, one is the deputy commander, and the other is the military supervisor," Kesi crossed her hands behind her back and slowly walked over to Fidel, "This is the beginning of success, right?"

She approached Field, who didn't back away. Just as Kleth wanted to hug Field, Field grabbed the other person's shoulders with both hands and turned her back.

Feder put a hand on Koss's shoulder and said, "Another pointless start, mercenary." ”
