"This meeting is very important, first of all, I want to announce a message," Andre sat at the top of the council hall of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and the wooden chairs that were covered with dust before were all seated, "Mr. Reeves has been promoted to the chief superintendent of the entire mercenary group, and every squadron's weapons, personnel, war horses, and all other living and eating problems will be reported to Mr. Reeves, he is the chief of logistics of our mercenary group. ”

Reeves was standing behind Eddie, but now he stood up and nodded to the squadron leaders, his eyes still so arrogant, looking straight ahead, standing behind Andre.

The other squadron supervisors under the seat exploded in an instant.

"Commander, this doesn't seem to be in order!"

"That's right, the chief superintendent should be voted for by the squadron leader and the regiment commander together, and cannot be appointed independently!"

"And this position has been vacant for so long, why did you suddenly let this Reeves be in charge?"

Sitting in the council chamber were Captain Eddie of the Cavalry Squadron, Captain Alain of the Archer Squadron, Captain Julian of the Spearmen Squadron, and Captain of the Infantry Squadron Bisluvis, all of whom were standing behind the superintendents loudly expressing their displeasure, but the faces of the squadron leaders had different expressions written on their faces.

"I think it's a debatable question, but Commander Andre, I have to ask you a question first," Captain Julian, the leader of the spear squadron, was dressed in a suit of gray scale armor, he sat down in his chair and pointed at Fidel, who was standing behind Eddie, and looked at him with a small and large eye, "What is this person's identity, and why is he able to participate in this meeting? ”

Except for the squadron leaders and the superintendent, no one else was present, so Julian asked the question that everyone else wanted to know.

"His name is Fidel, and he is a civilian who has just joined our mercenary group," Andre did not wear official clothes to attend the meeting today, and only wore a linen short sleeve on his upper body, "Although he has not served in other mercenary groups, his ability is outstanding, and I believe that after the next mission, he will be promoted to squad leader." ”

There is a certain scale of mercenary regiments with strict hierarchies, generally in addition to the regiment commander, that is, the major squadron leaders hold real power, and each squadron leader also has several squad leaders, if a squadron leader leaves or dies, one of the squad leaders will be temporarily appointed as the squadron leader, taking over hundreds or even thousands of squadrons.

"Even if he is the squad leader now, it doesn't meet the rules of our mercenary group to appear on this occasion, right?!" Julian patted the wooden chair he was sitting on with his hand, and a lot of dust fell from the chair facing down in an instant, obviously the cleaner didn't wipe the bottom of the chair this morning, "Andre, you've only been the head of the regiment for a short time, if you make a mistake because of your seniority"

Eddie immediately stood up, grasped the hilt of the short sword at his waist with his right hand, stared at Julian with his eyes and said, "Even if you are the squadron leader, it is absolutely not allowed to openly question the regiment commander like this!"

"Hmph, Captain Eddie, even when that Russell guy was in power, we didn't have anything unquestionable, could it be that Regiment Commander Andre was the king, and we were vassals?" The person who spoke was the infantry squadron leader Bisluvis, who had an inverted triangular face and a thorny voice in his flat mouth, "Besides, Andrei grew up watching us, and when he was a squad leader, he didn't often ask us questions?" Bithluvis didn't stand up, but he also put his right hand on the short sword at his waist, and the warden behind him stared at Eddie, a hint of gunsmoke hanging over the council chamber.

Fei De looked at this group of guys with different ghosts, shook his head slightly, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, but this subtle movement was not noticed by others. Sure enough, it's the same everywhere, struggling and tearing for their own interests and face, and the Moon Shield Mercenary Group seems to be nothing more than that, why does Uncle Evan respect this mercenary group so much, is it different from the mercenary guys of the Water Dog Mercenary Group, the One-Eared Mercenary Group, and the Mercenary Guild?

"Hahahaha, don't be impatient, who should be present today or who is promoted to the chief military supervisor is not the focus of our attention," Andre stroked his golden hair with his hand, and the ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth attracted the attention of the other squadron leaders, "Eddie, you sit down first, listen to me first." At the same time, Andre swept his gaze over the other squadron supervisors except Reeves, who all left the chamber and headed out the door.

The four squadron leaders were silent, because the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment had not gathered together like this for a long time: except for the cavalry squadron, which had been following Andrei's orders, the other squadron leaders were either accepting tasks privately or recuperating, and the majesty of the regimental commander had long been thrown aside.

Andrei took out the letter from his arms, walked down, and handed it to Alain, the leader of the archer squadron, who had not spoken, "Please read the contents of the letter to everyone, Captain Alain." ”

The Captain of the Archer Squadron is the oldest among the people present, he is thirty-seven years old this year, and he has been fighting side by side with Russell for sixteen years now, and he can be said to be the most senior person in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment now. Dressed in plain inlaid armor, Alain's hair was jet-black, but slightly sparse. The longbow on his back was made of the finest ebony, and the almost transparent bowstring was probably the place of the enchantment, and Feder recalled what Shelley had said, it should be this "Libra" bow.

Alain looked at the contents of the letter with the sharp eyes that the archers should have, and then looked at Andre and said aloud, "The Kingdom of Cosai is about to invade the City of Honor. ”

When everyone heard this, they showed different expressions. Julian, the captain of the spearmen, touched the corners of his mouth with his hand so that he would not be seen snickering, while the inverted triangular face of Bisluvis was gloomy, and he was obviously not happy to hear such news, while Alain, who read the letter, was expressionless, and the dullness was like that of Fielder's usual expression. This expression instantly won Field's favor, like a person who loves to laugh meets someone who loves to tell jokes.

"The word invasion is not used accurately, it is actually a sneak attack, and the Senate in the Republic of Marvil probably doesn't know this information yet, so we have a very big priority decision!" Andrei's eyes flashed with the fire of ambition, as if he was about to decide the life and death of 10,000 people, absolutely cold.

Julian and Bithluvis immediately began to whisper, but soon, Alan responded: "Have you lost the original idea of our Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment?"

As soon as he asked, the crowd fell silent. Julian's mouth tried to say something, but swallowed it back alive.

Eddie said loudly: "Our Moon Shield Mercenary Group is like the children of the Marvil Republic, and now our mother needs our strength, and our mother only has the strength of the mercenary group, so it is incumbent!"

Reeves also said on the side: "With my years of experience in making a living in the Republic, other mercenary groups in the country will fight to defend the City of Honor, even if they don't get a little reward. ”

Alain and Feder both nodded. At this time, Fei De realized that the Republic of Marvil, which was originally known as the "mercenary country", had such cohesion. In his own mind, the mercenary group is indeed a black crow that eats carrion, selling his life for money. It is understandable that the Water Dog Mercenary Regiment helped them fight against the Imperial cavalry because they lived in Douro, but the mercenary regiment here guarded their homeland like the regular army of the Republic.

"It is clear to everyone that the senators and consuls who hold the real power of the Marvil Republic are all commoners, and those guys may have been mercenaries. The Senate has only a small number of guards, and it is impossible to resist a large-scale invasion of a kingdom, so the mercenary group here can decide the life and death of the republic. André said these words with a smile, like a staff member watching from afar in the Empire, a feeling that made Alain feel very uncomfortable.

André continued: "But let's listen to the second piece of information in the letter first. ”

"Russell and his moon shield have already been found, in a fortress somewhere in the kingdom of Cose. "Alain has actually focused his attention here for a long time, because this close comrade-in-arms who was born and died with him finally has news.

Bithluvis and Julian exchanged a look.

The defense battle that is not beneficial to oneself is really not as attractive as the treasure of the moon shield, this kind of greed is the order of this mercenary era. Feder thought to himself.

"Hehe, it turns out that the head of the regiment has never done practical things before, and he didn't take the task for such important information, it seems that Andre still has a lot of potential. Julian said with a sneer.

"Very good, we can take the opportunity to enter the territory of the Winter Kingdom while the battle between the Republic of Marvil and the Kingdom of Kosai is deadlocked, and search for their fortress, this time it is justified!" Julian immediately swept everyone around him and said, "Don't leak the news! This time we must find out the old thief Russell, who swallows the weapon of life alone is unforgivable!"

Bisluvis was also quick to agree: "Russell and I haven't seen each other for a long time, it's time to make a decision. ”

When Fei De heard this, he began to understand a little, since Russell already had the Moon Shield when he established the Moon Shield Mercenary Group, why did no one come to snatch the shield in his hand at that time?

After Andre heard the two squadron leaders say in unison, his ambiguous smile was even more wanton, "That's right, I will never let him escape again." ”
