Chapter Ninety-Five: The Funeral of the Head of the Regiment
readx;
Ke Gray's words were a little loud, and a mercenary of the mermaid mercenary group who was guarding the door of Dade's ward also heard it, but this mercenary did not show his face, but only moved his face away slightly, and pricked up his curious ears, wanting to listen to more words from this side.

"What do you mean by that? When Lukka saw that Fide was standing, he immediately turned back to Kergley and asked.
"I have made it very clear just now, in the entire Dumu City, only my sister Dade does not believe that you slaughtered the mountain villagers, and the other mercenary groups and Dockley all regard you as murderous demons," he let out a long sigh of relief after seeing that Fide did not continue to leave, "Those mercenary groups have long been dissatisfied with the potato mercenary groups from outside, and they are not used to letting a lonely and indifferent mercenary group that does not greet them be the boss of the city. They have long wanted to come to you for trouble, and they can take advantage of the anger of the civilians to take advantage of the nominal advantage, won't you notice the way the other mercenaries look at you?"
But Fei De only said lightly: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, let's go." Lukka glared at Kergree and left with Field, leaving only Kergrei standing there with a blank and helpless expression, the brother of the leader of the mermaid mercenary group seemed to have lost everything in the mermaid mercenary group at this moment.
Luca: "Captain, if these mercenary groups really come to attack us, what should we do?"
Patrick continued: "When I was a gladiator, there were always fighters from other places who wanted to challenge me, and I would usually give them defeat and use setbacks to teach them to retreat. The champion fighter's words made Fide nod, now that he knew that the other mercenary groups in Dumu City were hostile to the potato mercenary group, it would not be easy to continue to gain a firm foothold here, but Fei De didn't think he should stir up trouble first.
Finally passed through the crowd and returned to the small utility room where Ligu slept, and as soon as he saw Fidel, Ligu called out loudly: "Captain Fid, come here!"
The three of them followed Ligu into the Ayana hospital room, where the door had been opened, and Jasmine and the others stood in a corner, not daring to make a sound, just quietly watching Fidel who walked in.
"What's wrong?"
Ligu immediately explained, "Captain Ayana has a poisonous dagger on the wooden cabinet next to her bed, and that dagger is the weapon used by the rebel assassins! β
Fett nodded, and the other captains stood aside without making a sound, and Patrick walked out of the room to chase away the other noisy people standing outside.
Fidel, who slowly walked to Ayana's side, had already sensed that Ayana was awake, but Ayana was motionless, it seemed that she didn't want to talk or move, just continued to lie on the hospital bed and pretend to sleep.
Fett walked over to the cupboard, and out of his eye he saw Ayana's eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. He picked up the dagger, which was exactly the same as the one he had just seen, and there was a very high probability that there was poison on it. He glanced at a few more windows, none of which showed any signs of being opened, who had placed this dagger here, and what was the intention? Was it just to intimidate the Potato Mercenaries and Fidel?
"Send this dagger to the Mercenary's House, and tell them that the Potato Mercenary Regiment has also been attacked by the Rebel Assassins, and go now. Fidel walked back to his men and handed the dagger to Luka.
Lukka received the order and left the hospital quickly.
"Commander, why is thatβ" Winotki seemed interested in having one more poisonous dagger.
Selena showed a look of sudden realization, "Captain Winote, let me tell you." The others also wanted to hear Selena's explanation, and followed Selena out of the ward. After telling Rigu to protect Ayana, Feder also retreated from the ward and left the hospital with his men.
Selena couldn't wait to tell the others that all the mercenary leaders in Dumu City had been attacked, but their Captain Fidel showed up in the hospital unharmed to watch the fun. This is not what the mercenaries who have lost their captain want to see, even the nobles of Dutim City will find out about it, and then wonder why Captain Fede has not been attacked. Now that the dagger had just been "delivered" to Fidel, the Potato Mercenaries should use it as an excuse for the intentions of those who placed it there - they were the same hated targets of the Rebels as the rest of the mercenaries.
"You must know that we killed the members of the rebels with our own hands and destroyed the mercenaries of the Iron Ore Mountains in one fell swoop," Selena's analysis and reasoning was originally going to find an opportunity to talk to Fidel in private, but Fidel's actions made her firmly believe that Fide also had the same idea as her, "We are the enemies that the rebels should attack the most, and other mercenary groups, large and small, seem to be a little innocent and implicated by us, if nothing happens at all, it will be a bit too much to say." β
The other captains all responded with an "oh", which they really didn't expect. Fed's thoughts were similar to Selena's, and Fed's thoughts were still thinking about the reason for placing the dagger next to Ayana - that assassin could leave a poisonous dagger without being discovered by Ayana must be a very powerful guy, even more powerful than dozens of other assassins who couldn't catch it.
"When we meet Luca, ask him to send a little more people to the hospital to help Ligu. Fed instructed Patrick.
Three days later, a grand funeral was held in the city. The highest celebrant of this funeral was Count Endrida of Dulumi City, who personally saw off the deceased mercenary captains. A total of thirty-one mercenary regiment leaders died in the attack, some of them were declared dead of their injuries until this morning, and a few were lucky enough to be rescued. A few others dodged the Assassin's poisonous blade when they were attacked, and are still too scared to go out.
The leader of the mermaid mercenary group has been replaced by the deputy leader Dockery, and most of the other mercenary groups that have lost their leader have new successors. Several mercenary groups disbanded or were absorbed by other mercenary groups as a result. But without exception, none of the mercenary groups had contact with the potato mercenary group, none of the mercenaries came to the potato mercenary group hoping to join, and there was even bad news - Selena reported to Fede that some of the new subordinates of the potato mercenary group had the intention of leaving the potato mercenary group.
The rumor of "massacre of villagers", which had been gradually reversed, made a comeback in the past three days, and the assassination of the head of the mercenary group in the city by the rebels became the "retribution" in the mouth of the rumor-mongers, and the root of the retribution was the potato mercenary group. All the people of the Principality of Magini who joined the Potato Mercenary Regiment were terrified, and many of them were accused by their friends and relatives of playing the role of a tiger. The mercenaries of the other mercenary groups even blamed Fidel for the death of their leader, who was unscathed, and the dagger sent by Lukka only slightly calmed the suspicions of the mercenary house and the nobles of Duplank City.
"This time we have lost many heroic warriors, many defenders who have brought honor and contributions to the city, their death has made everyone in the city saddened, and we will never forget what they have done," Count Endrida held a written eulogy, the corners of his mouth were pulled down by the muscles of his face, and his eyes did not dare to open his eyes to read, "They are the pride of the city of the city, and at the same time our dearest relatives, we will definitely miss them forever." I, Endrida, Count of the Duchy of Magini, and the guardian of the Dulum City, swear here once again that I will find the murderers of the various regimental commanders and bring them to justice, so as to comfort their souls in heaven. β
"Silence!" shouted the priest of the local church, and everyone bowed their heads, as did Fei De and several of his subordinates in attendance, looking sad and paying attention to the other mercenaries' looks.
Fett noticed that Kergray did not appear with the new leader of the mermaid mercenary group, and that the words that day Kergray might have reached Dockley's ears, or that Kergray had already been at odds with their deputy leader, and now that Dade was dead, the two could no longer be compatible, leaving behind Blackbeard Dockery.
Halfway through the funeral ceremony, Vittorio, the deputy head of the regiment, suddenly appeared behind Fid. He arrived at the venue with apologies, and Vittorio said that he had been delayed for a few days because of some personal matters, which had prolonged the days of his leave. He had just heard that something like this had happened in Dumu City, so he rushed directly to the funeral venue without stopping to send his greetings.
I saw Dockley shake hands with the other new captains one by one, and slowly walked towards the high platform where the count stood. Vittorio tells Fidel that Dockery has become the mercenary's representative, and that he is expected to take the lead of the Dulog Mercenary Regiment.
"I won't say kind words! I'm not a clergyman of the church, and I don't have any mercy and peace! I'm standing here for one purpose, to make it clear to everyone! This matter won't just end there!" he said as he pointed his finger in the direction of the mermaid mercenary group, where stood a middle-aged man with a haggard appearance, and he was also holding a crying girl, who seemed to be Dade's family.
Dockley continued: "The killer is the Assassin of the Rebels! Since these men who plotted a rebellion in the Duchy of Mageni openly provoked all the mercenaries of our Dulum City, then we should not back down!
"And the color!"
"Don't back down!"
"And the color!"
The other mercenaries roared and raised their fists.
"So from today onwards, all the mercenaries in our Dumu City will obey the command of Count Endrida and vow to eradicate the rebel forces around Dumu City!
In the midst of the thunderous roar, Feder noticed a guy hiding in the crowd, who suddenly pulled a short crossbow out of his sleeve, aimed at Dokley, and pulled the trigger in the next second! Without having time to remind Dokley, Fed took off the potato medal from his chest and threw it in front of Dokley!
