Chapter 19: The Tortoise and the Meerkat

readx;

The nobleman told Fid that there was an iron ore mountain range to the east of the city of Dumu, which had always belonged to a large merchant in the city. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was bought a few years ago by another person who had come here from out of town to do business, and it was managed by a few merchants here. It was then that the soldiers patrolling around the city noticed that there were often people who did not look like miners near the iron mine.

At that time, Horman and the lord of Dumu City did not pay much attention to this matter, but when it was claimed that he had seen a civilian rebel leader in the Duchy of Mageni appear outside the mine, Horman began to suspect that the place had become a rebel stronghold.

"The civilian rebels are out of nowhere! I've sent soldiers to patrol there a long time ago, but every time we send out to investigate the iron mine, it's functioning as if it were just a normal mine. But my gut tells me that there must be something wrong with this. ”

"Since the rebels have not been found, it may really be just an ordinary mine. Feder glanced back at the crowd behind him, and it seemed that Winotki and the Horse Boxer were ready to take the stage, and if they didn't go back now, they might miss out on the exciting showdown between the two.

Herman glanced down at the grass, then looked up at Fid and said, "I suspect that there are civilian rebels among the soldiers in our Canwood City, so every time we try to search a suspicious location, we have no success, which is why I hope that Captain Fede can lead the Potato Mercenary Group to help us with this mission." ”

"Are there any messengers among the soldiers?"

"That's right, I'm sure that's it," Herman said, rubbing his palms, "The Potato Mercenary Regiment is the most powerful mercenary group in Dumu City right now, and your Excellency is from the Papal States, so it is certainly impossible for you to have anything to do with those civilian rebels, so my uncle and I trust Captain Fede very much." It's just that I have to remind the captain of the group, that Vittorio is one of the merchants who bought the iron mine with the same money, and someone has reported to me that he once saw Vittorio appear near the iron mine, so I want to ask why Vittorio is the deputy head of your group..."

When Fidel heard this, he felt that something was unusual, if Vittorio really had something to do with what Herman said, then this sixteen-year-old boy who joined the group with money was indeed very suspicious. It was already inconceivable that the other party could earn so many gold coins in business at his age, and he claimed to be his own brainstorm, but now he is suspected of being a civilian rebel. Could it be that this boy named Vittorio is really one of those rebels, and entered his mercenary group to use himself and the potato mercenary group?

After thinking about it, Fidel told Herman the truth about Vittorio bringing money into the group, of course, some details that the other party said, Feder did not mention to Herman, making the listener think that Vittorio was just tired of being a businessman and wanted to spend money to buy the deputy head of a mercenary group.

"In short, Vittorio needs to be very careful, although he has been living in Dumu City, there must be a lot of secrets behind him!"

Feder then told Herman that he needed some time to consider whether or not to promise the Lord of Dumu to help them investigate the civilian rebels. Herman also expressed his understanding, and he would invite Captain Fidel into the castle of Dulog in five days to discuss the matter again.

"This is my gift to Captain Field, please don't be polite!" Herman took out the box that was placed in the gemstone ring again, and Fielder did not refuse, anyway, accepting this thing does not mean that he promised to help the other party. It's just that Feder doesn't know what the ring is of use to him, he didn't like shiny things since he was a child, and instead had a preference for black and gray things.

By the time Herman and Fidel returned to their seats at the edge of the ring, Vittorio hadn't returned, but the two were already fighting each other in the ring.

Standing on the left side of the ring, the horse boxer has already had several scars on his body that was stabbed by the snake chasing stick, and it seems that Winotki's agile and flexible movements can still hurt the boxer, but on the other hand, the squad leader Winotki, although she has no obvious injuries on her body, her right hand on the ground is constantly trembling, and her left hand holding the snake chasing stick and putting it behind her back is also sweating, and it seems that she has also worked hard to gain such a little advantage.

The cheers of the rest of the spectators rang out one after another, and Patrick, seeing Fed's return, immediately walked up to him and told him about the battle. It turned out that Winotki kept stabbing the boxer with the snake stick with the tactics of pulling away the distance, like a snake The stick technique was very exquisite, but the horse boxer was like a turtle that did not move like a mountain, just blocking the snake stick with his arms and the thickest part of his body. It's more about dodging than blocking, because most of those wounds are just abrasions, and the boxer who doesn't seem to have moved a single step actually has a lot of slight turns, all to dodge the jumping attack.

However, even though Winoki seemed to have the upper hand, the Puller almost hit Winotki in the body with his fists several times. Those shots seemed unremarkable, but Patrick told Fed that it was very difficult to dodge that kind of solid and accurate punch, and it took a lot of effort for Winotki to do it.

Neither of them dared to take the initiative again, especially Winoti, who slowly distanced herself from the other party, as if she was going to switch from offense to defense and wait for an opportunity. The boxer uses his fists to protect his head, and the soles of his feet against the ground, slowly approaching the opponent's position.

When the Champion was about to reach a distance of five meters, Winotki suddenly threw the Snake Catcher into the air, and she rolled over and rolled towards the Champion Boxer!

At this time, the boxer could only stare at Winoki who rolled over, and punched down the moment the opponent rolled in front of him. In the process of rolling, Winoki had already taken out a handful of powder from her arms and sprinkled it directly at the boxer who swung her fist! The yellow powder emitted an unpleasant smell, and the boxer had to protect his eyes and mouth with one hand, and then closed his eyes and stepped back, and the fist he swung out was also withdrawn after the blow.

Winoki immediately caught the snake chaser stick that fell from the air and stabbed directly at the horse puller who was still closing his eyes and retreating, but Fei De had already pulled out the "silence" and blocked the tip of the snake catcher with the blade of the sword with both hands, protecting the vital position of the horse puller.

As soon as the snake girl saw her regiment leader come forward, she immediately threw her weapon on the ground and stood in the ring and looked at Fidel blankly. The boxer was also sprinkled with yellow powder, and his entire face was covered with yellow powder, and only a small amount of his facial area was blocked by one of his palms.

The entire crowd fell silent, and Patrick jumped into the ring and loudly announced that the match was suspended. Ligu's medical team then walked up and examined the powder on the boxer's face.

"This is an internal competition of the Potato Mercenary Group, and you shouldn't use a hidden weapon that hurts people. Feder stood beside the Warrior, and he could already smell the sulfur coming from the powder.

Winotki first lowered her head, and then showed a wronged expression, tears could be faintly seen in her big eyes, "I... I thought I just couldn't use iron weapons, and... And those sulfur powders don't do any harm to people..."After all, she was just a young peasant girl, and for the expressionless and cold-looking head in front of her, the righteous reproach immediately made Winotchy's heart mixed with mixed feelings.

After his face was simply cleaned, his eyes were opened, and Rigu told the audience that it was indeed a sulfur powder that was harmless to the human body, and that even if it was sprinkled on the eyes, it would only need to be washed off with plenty of water. It is estimated that it is because Winoti has raised snakes since she was a child, so she carries with her sulfur powder to restrain poisonous snakes.

After Ligu's explanation, the audience who were worried about the horse boxer in the arena breathed a sigh of relief, after all, many civilians in Dumu City had seen such a wonderful fight for the first time, but they didn't expect it to be stopped for this reason.

Winoki ran out quickly when she was about to shed tears, and Squadron Leader Jasmine also picked up the snake girl's snake stick for the first time and chased after Winotchy. The Horse Boxer was fine, and after discussions between Fielder and Patrick, it was decided to give the first place to Winotki - after all, it was Patrick's fault that Patrick did not explicitly state that harmless powder could not be used when formulating the rules of the competition. According to the performance, Winotki's performance just now was slightly better than that of the boxer, so Winotki was judged to win.

"It doesn't matter to me, go and get that little girl back," said the Horse Boxer, who patted the remnants of the sulphur powder on his body and said to Field, "I'm just a peasant, and it doesn't matter if I want this reward or not." ”
