The Potato Mercenary Regiment that returned to the Holy Light City began to recruit. Reeves, who became the superintendent of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, took out tens of thousands of gold coins from the bank, and then carried out the recruitment of mercenaries to the major cities of the Papal States and the countries surrounding the Papal States. Also because of the good treatment and the prestige near the Holy Light City, the potato mercenary group quickly gathered two hundred new mercenaries, plus the remaining mercenaries and various captains before, it was close to three hundred, which can be regarded as a small-scale mercenary group.

The other returning mercenary group leaders also began to replenish their personnel, and Jennifer, the leader of the Shepherd Dog Mercenary Group, took out the money earned over the years to recruit new subordinates. When he had gone to the Riverland with more than 1,000 people, only one dog had now run back with him, and Jennifer had already paid a large pension. However, with the prestige she had been in the Holy Light City before, she was still able to gather dozens of people to work for her at a very low price. And Arturas, who has a very good relationship with her, is also willing to hand over all his remaining subordinates to Jennifer's hands, so that although the mercenaries of the Shepherd Dog Mercenary Group will not be able to shepherd sheep, they can still have hundreds of people.

The leader of the servant mercenary regiment, Arturus, was admired by many of the civilians of the City of Light for his heroic deeds, and those wealthy civilians constantly invited Arturus to his home, and some carpenters equipped him with wooden prosthetic legs to facilitate his movement.

On one occasion, Fed met the other party at the Mercenary House, where they were having a good conversation with Ernest, the head of the Mercenary House. It's just that when the bald head saw Field, he lowered his head embarrassedly and left the mercenary house.

"Deputy Commander Feid, you see that you have now become the most prestigious mercenary leader in the Holy Light City! It's incredible!" Ernest remembered that it wasn't long before that Fei De came to the Holy Light City with a potato mercenary group of more than a dozen people, but he didn't expect that after the Battle of the River, the surprise attack on the River Castle and other battles, the Potato Mercenary Group seemed to have become the strongest new mercenary group, and its popularity soared.

"Well, why didn't the Church League call up the mercenary group?" Fide asked.

Ernest thought for a moment, and he knew that what Fed wanted to ask was why the Church Alliance had sent soldiers to support the Theoguna Empire, but had not called in mercenaries to do so. "Actually, it's very simple, there is not much food in the Pope now, and secondly, mercenaries are not regular troops after all, and there will always be many variables when facing enemy soldiers."

"Then let me see what missions are available lately?" Feder saw a lot of mercenary missions hanging on the wall, most of them were peripheral missions, and there were no missions that could earn more pay and fame.

Ernest asked his assistant to come up with three mercenary missions, "These tasks are usually given to trusted mercenary groups, but considering that Lord Feder is the chief head of our alliance, these tasks are required"

However, just when the person in charge of the mercenary house wanted to hand over the three important tasks to Fidel and let the other party choose, an assistant from the mercenary house hurriedly ran in.

"Lord Ernest!" he glanced at Fidel in black armor before continuing, "Your Holiness the Pope has ordered the temporary dissolution of the Church Alliance! The reason is because the crusade against the East Oguna Empire has stopped!"

Ever since everyone returned to the City of Light, the city has been enveloped in an atmosphere of "singing the praises of heroes" led by the archbishop. The likes of Rashad, Arturas, Selena, and Fid all became forces to create this atmosphere. In particular, Selena, the female knight chief, was called the "fearless female knight" because she led the Castle of the River Castle raid team because she killed Juan and Hollis and was able to escape in the end.

The deputy head of the Church Order, Lassad, was also awarded medals and church honors for his meritorious work in the peace talks, which made his prestige in the Order of the Church begin to approach that of Commander Satnam.

But whether it was Rashad or Selena, they all left the Holy Light City one after another, and went south with church militants and church knights to support the Theoguna Empire. And from the mouths of those messengers who came with new news every day, they learned that now the Western Oguna Empire had been defeated and retreated, and the Holy Maiden Golia, who was sitting in the center, did not say a word, and the regent Xiumo, who commanded all the troops, had nothing to do, and the two supreme rulers of the Western Oguna Empire were completely unable to deal with the large army that broke through from the south.

And more and more troops were sent from the East Oguna Empire, and there was a great tendency to destroy the rebels in the west in one fell swoop. Fei De speculated that the Pope might now dissolve the Church Coalition that had been formed to deal with the East Oguna Empire in the first place to fight against the Archbishop. No one can be sure that the Pope, in order to deal with the archbishop, will not privately sign an agreement with the leaders of Glynco to deal with the Theoguna Empire.

However, no matter what means and methods the Papal States used, it was impossible for the Papal States, with only one city and military losses, to affect the war situation in the Eastern and Western Oguna Empires.

The man who ran into the mercenary's house to report to Ernest continued: "The chief head of the group has been removed, and now there is no chief mercenary group, everything is back to the way it was before" The voice of the assistant who passed the message gradually became smaller, but Fei De didn't care, after all, he was just being used as a pawn by others when he became the chief leader.

"I'd better take a look at those missions first. Fid said to Ernest.

The person in charge nodded, although the other party is no longer the chief head of the Church Alliance, but now there are not many mercenary groups with sufficient combat strength and fighting spirit, and most of the mercenary groups that have returned to Holy Light City are extremely tired, which may be related to the siege of fortifications in winter.

"There are three more important tasks here, which have been taken seriously by the Archbishop and Head Satnam, if you feel that Deputy Head Fielder can be confident in solving them," Ernest said as he handed the three mercenary mission documents into the hands of Field.

Fidel took a brief look at it, and the tasks of the three documents were different.

The first mission is to protect a nobleman of the East Oguna Empire who has fled here and assist him in reaching safety. This nobleman's name was Gerhardt, and he was a baron in the northern part of the Eastern Oguna Empire. After the division of the Oguna Empire, he took his family and a few knights of the guard and secretly came to this side of the river. Because the Imperial cavalry in the Riverland region had recently been suppressed in the Riverland Castle, he had a chance to escape to the Papal States. He intended to continue his flight west until he reached the border between the Duchy of Dramain and the Kingdom of Sarins, where he would settle in a relatively peaceful area.

The second task is a food escort mission. The food sent from the Duchy of Noao is ready to leave the borders of the Duchy of Noo, and the Papal States needs to send troops to meet it, so as not to be robbed by the other two Duchies or bandits in the mountains. This grain was specially sent to the Papal States by the Duke of Aldington of the Duchy of Noo because of his friendship with Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, and since most of the knights of the Church had already left the Holy Light City, it was not appropriate for other regular troops to enter the borders of the other two principalities, so the Archbishop planned to let the best mercenary group to pick them up. It is also mentioned that a Knight Captain may be sent to assist the mercenary group on this mission.

The third mission is the most special - in the mountains north of the Holy Light City, a strange person has appeared, who should be a young man. According to the reports of the villagers at the bottom of the mountain, this strange young man was extremely thin, but he was surprisingly strong, and had already stolen many of the villagers' livestock. In addition, some villagers who went up the mountain to cut wood also found that this strange creature had eaten the animals alive, and the villagers could see the bones of many other small animals, and they suspected that this young man had done it. The eccentric youth frightened the nearby villagers, so they hoped that the Holy Light City would send soldiers to deal with it.

"Of the three missions, only the second mission seems to be particularly important," Feder noticed that the reward for the first mission was an enchanted weapon sent by Baron Gerhardt, and the second and third missions were both gold, but the third mission was only three hundred gold, "Isn't it okay for the third mission to be handled by ordinary mercenary groups?"

"Yes, it stands to reason that it is, but the other day there was a report from the villagers who saw heavily armed people coming up the mountain, and according to their descriptions, we can be sure that they are from the Kingdom of Salins," Ernest took back all three documents, "so I took it off the mission wall." ”

Fett thought for a moment, "All three tasks are given to us. With that, he took the papers back from Ernest's hand.
