Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 20 Religion and Pope II

"My people, my Father's people, please listen to the voice of the Father!" The man whom the woman called the Pope began to roar in a deep voice, and all the people who gathered around and worshipped immediately fell to their knees, clapped their hands forward, and listened quietly to the Pope, "Oh, the Father is very clear, there is only one will in this world, and that is the will of the Father!

All the people whispered, "The will of the Father!"

Coth and Feder also half-crouched down, and they found some knights of the Church Knights standing in the distance. The knights of the church did not lie down or kneel, but watched the pope in his big yellow robe from afar, as if he were protecting him closely.

"Heavenly Father has made it clear that the barbarian heretics in the southwest of the continent will be wiped out by the light of the Illuminati in these few years, the will of the continent will be unified into the will of the Heavenly Father, and the Holy Heavenly Father will bring this world back to peace!" Fed saw that the Pope had deep eyes, a hooked nose, thin lips and a long face, and he did look very majestic, but his dress and hair accessories made people feel out of place with his identity.

Suddenly, a man dressed as a civilian stood up and called out loudly: "Follow the will of the Father! Exterminate the barbarian heretics! Exterminate the barbarian infidels!" When the Pope saw the civilian, he nodded with a serious expression, and all the other civilians followed him and shouted, "Destroy the barbarian heretics!"

The knights of the Church Order immediately pointed at the civilian who was the first to stand up, and they sent two men around and stood behind the male civilian.

After the pope had been calling out to the populace for some time, he suddenly spoke: "If you want to carry out the will of the Father, you must give every ounce of your strength!

The man immediately shouted, "Join the Papal Guard!"

The other civilians were stunned, but just a second later, most of them chanted together, "Papal Guard!"

The pope in the yellow robe nodded, and at that moment, Fed saw the archbishop Arthur Auerbach walking towards the pool under the protection of the Knights of the Church, he was still wearing the red bishop's robe, but this time his face did not show the same pleasant face as last time, but walked in the direction of the pope with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, please go back. Archbishop Arthur Auerbach walked through the stone path to the platform in the middle of the pool, pressed his knee with one hand, and handed it out with the other, expressing his willingness to support the Pope, and knelt down on one knee.

As the archbishop knelt down, several knights of the Church Knights had already walked up to the man who had been standing and shouting, gathered him around, covered his mouth with his hands, and pulled him out of the crowd. The other civilians were so caught up in the situation in the middle pool that they largely did not notice that the man had been taken away.

At this time, the Pope's expression was still serious, and he pulled the yellow robe on his body, so that it completely covered his whole body, and also wrapped his unshoed feet, which looked like a sleeping bag. Instead of reaching out for the archbishop to support him, he turned a blind eye and walked straight in the direction of the stone path, leaving the archbishop motionless.

When the other civilians saw that the Pope was leaving, they all lay down and chanted some religious incantations aloud, and Coth and Feder couldn't understand what they were saying, but they didn't dare to stand up blatantly, and the Pope was slowly leaving anyway. The Knights of the Church then approached the Pope, escorting him out of the pool square, drowning in the crowd, and the Archbishop left, heading for the Church Castle in the heart of the City of Light.

"The Papal Guard looks like two completely different organizations from the Knights of the Church?" said Koth as she saw the rest of the crowd begin to stand up and disperse, pulling Fidel away.

Fed had met with the consuls and senators of the Marvel Republic, and was well aware of the internal factional struggles in the Republic, but he did not expect that even the Papal States, which were founded on religion and had such a small territory, had internal contradictions, and it seemed that the Knights of the Church who held the military power were on the side of Archbishop Arthur Auerbach.

For the next two days, the Potato Mercenary Group was free to roam.

In terms of meritorious deeds, each of them received at least eighty gold coins as a prize for the destruction of greenstem plants, while those who made outstanding contributions such as Ayana and Avi received an additional twenty gold coins. Blake, who had lost his thigh, had also woken up, and Fentry gave him two hundred gold coins in the hope that he would be able to live in the Papal States for a while. In fact, for a mercenary, two hundred gold coins is enough for him to be carefree for the rest of his life, but Blake, who lost a thigh, also lost his athleticism and could no longer stand on the battlefield as a mercenary, so Fei De and they had to give up on him.

Squad Leader Blake expressed his gratitude to Fidel and wished the Potato Mercenaries to continue on the right track, and once he had the money, he planned to hire a servant and send him back to his hometown, a small town in the Republic, where he would spend the rest of his life. However, during this time, he will still live in the Holy Light City, and he will not leave until his leg injury is fully recovered, and he said that if there is a place for him, please inform him as soon as possible.

As for the conflict between the "elder" Franklin and Leonard, Fielder punished him with fifty gold coins and sentenced Franklin to an unintentional act. Because Marcus reminds Fed to be clear about rewards and punishments, and Feder notices that Ayana looks at Franklin a little differently and looks a little disgusted, which also makes Feder realize that there must be a rule of discipline within the potato mercenary group.

Under the joint efforts of the squadron leaders and Fidel, the mercenary rules of the Potato Mercenary Regiment were also set on the same day, one of which was not to betray teammates and not to make moves that put their companions in danger. Some of the other rules are based on the rules and regulations of some large mercenary groups, which can basically make the people in a mercenary group have rules to follow.

On the other hand, on the morning of the third day, Kesi, the military supervisor of the Potato Mercenary Group, and Fei De came to the mercenary market to look for a relatively suitable person as a guarantee for the number of mercenary groups.

Fei De and the squadron leaders planned to have fifteen men in each squadron, and each mercenary would be paid a base salary of ten gold coins per month. Now there are six squadrons, including the cavalry squadron, the axe squadron, the hammer squadron, the archery squadron, the sword and shield squadron, and the two-handed sword squadron. In this way, a total of ninety mercenaries will be recruited, and if you count the captains, you will have to pay a basic salary of about 1,000 gold coins every month. Now the funds in Feide's hands are about 5,000 gold coins, if a task is not completed or the task is not accepted, the potato mercenary group can still support for five months, and Feide thinks that this time is enough to see if the mercenary group under his command can stand in the mercenary world.

He didn't want to follow his father's words and become a knight, he knew very well in his heart that he needed to master more power, and he needed to establish a mercenary group to prove that he had chosen the right path - from the time he told Uncle Evan that he wanted to be a mercenary and find other ways to peace, the lie slowly became his inner goal. Sometimes Fei De will also be depressed to find that everything is a little different from what he originally imagined, at the beginning, he just didn't want to follow the path arranged by his father and uncle, and wanted to break into the outside world, but he didn't expect that he not only promised a legendary person to kill the leader of a powerful mercenary group, but also became the leader of a mercenary group, which was really unexpected.

But after coming here, Fei De didn't regret anything, because he gradually learned that the path people choose sometimes doesn't necessarily have to point everything out at the beginning, and over time people will slowly change and gradually find the true direction - and he now has a huge gain, that is, the life weapon, the moon shield.

In fact, on the way to the Holy Light City, Fei De went to study the moon shield that Russell personally handed over to him, and he always hung the moon shield at the bottom of his waist, and also put the gap of the shield downwards so as not to be noticed by others. He is also wary of those in the know-who know in the potato mercenary group, after all, the thing in his hand is a legendary weapon of life, and no one knows whether those who say they are not interested in it covet weapons at all times - even if it is Kesi, who knows the deepest and has the deepest acquaintance, the daughter of the duke who escaped from the "cage", Feide has not completely let go of his heart.

Thinking about the original squadron leader Alan was also loyal, he didn't expect that the most unlikely person would become a traitor who personally backstabbed the regiment leader, and he had been planning for a long time, and secretly colluded with that archon Manle. The bloody rebellion at Pool Castle is still fresh in his mind, and it is impossible for Feder not to be impressed, so even if he trusts Marcus, Noor, Patrick, and Avi, it is impossible not to be careful.

If it is the experience that changed the goal of Feide's journey, the way he does things and the way he treats people, then the experience also changes Feide's heart. He went from being careless to cautious, from being alone to sharing opportunities, all of these changes were his help along the way, perhaps Uncle Evan was right when he said that he should take advantage of the incident of exterminating the bandits to join the military academy of the Kingdom of Sallins for further study, so that he might be able to embark on another bright road.

But now the life of a mercenary who lives on the verge of life and death every day with a sword is also a different path that is diametrically opposed to his father.
