Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 28 A ball of yarn
After Avi and Felisty separated, they hurried to the location of the target's investigation. He was held by the red-haired girl for about an hour, and although it was not long, his own task was not yet complete.
Felisty told him to keep the matter a secret for the time being, and not to tell anyone - including Avi's Fan. She has something to deal with now, and it may take more than a month. She also said that she had already contacted Miss Delia's old ministry, and now she just had to wait for her chance to plan for revenge.
Of course, Avi agreed, but he was afraid that the other party would not let him go, and even wanted to hold him hostage to other places. But nothing he feared happened, and the red-haired girl left alone and disappeared into the streets of the City of Light.
After an afternoon, Avi had learned about the size of the mercenary group and some of the internal rules. As he walked towards his rented quarters, he began to wonder why the red-haired girl was looking for him and some other oddities.
At first, he thought that the other party wanted the life weapon Moon Shield and knew Carrie's whereabouts, but when she found nothing, he also showed him Miss Delia's urn and gave him the position of deputy head of the regiment. This behavior really baffled Avi, after all, she had no useful news, and there was nothing special about her, so why did she trust herself so much?
Avi didn't come to any conclusions, and what made him even more curious was why Felisty thought that Golia had killed Miss Delia.
The young man had tried to be tried by the sheriff and the judge, and he knew that under the terrible system of the Oguna Empire, Miss Delia could also be caught and sentenced - of course, it was not surprising that she was considered her sister Golia, after all, according to Carrie, the two sisters did look alike.
But no matter what, Golia, as an older sister, has no reason to kill her sister, so Avi doesn't really believe the red-haired girl's words.
Even if it was really the saint Golia who killed Miss Delia, how could he and this girl be able to kill the person in a high position? In fact, Avi had already secretly decided in his heart that he would wait until the day he got ahead, to give "reward" to those who had wronged him, and to thank those who had helped him for the rest of his life.
Another thing that made him curious was why the red-haired girl was able to change her appearance, and he remembered what he had heard in the hedron crypt - Golia, one of the three mage heirs, was also good at a kind of magic, Ben Nicot was a spirit, and "Cat's Eye" was a summoning type, but Golia didn't say which area she was best at. If it is a magic like Felisty's appearance-changing, then it means that St. Golia's master is Felisty's master, and the apprentice should take revenge on his master?
The red-haired girl who suddenly appeared turned everything into a ball of yarn and was in chaos. There were too many question marks in Avi's mind right now, and he decided not to think about it for the time being, after all, there was still a task to complete on his own, and maybe one day Carrie would return to him and Fan and tell him all the truth.
A few days later, the Potato Mercenaries received a letter from the Deputy Head of the Church Order, Rashad, with instructions from the Commander of the Order, Satnam.
"Leaders of the resident mercenary groups, in view of the imminent outbreak of war between our country and the East Oguna Empire, I hope that all the mercenary groups that have joined the Church Alliance will prepare their armed forces and participate in the meeting of the alliance group in the eastern plain of the Holy Light City in eight days, when the Pope and the archbishop will come to the meeting to meet with you one by one. In addition, the archbishop has decided that the church will be responsible for the food supply of all mercenary groups in the future. Above. If there are other matters, we will inform you separately!"
Fed distributed the letter to the crowd. In the past few days, he has already had a general understanding of the situation of the other resident mercenary groups. In the end, the two mercenary groups also joined the church alliance together, making a total of thirty-six mercenary groups. Of all the mercenary groups, the smallest is of course the Potato Mercenary Group, with less than a hundred people, while the largest mercenary group is the Servant Mercenary Group, with nearly 3,000 people.
According to the information gathered by Avi, the leader of the Servant Mercenary Regiment was named Arturus, who was once a knight leader of the Church Knights. Expelled from the Order for committing some ecclesiastical regulations. However, he is still a devout believer, so after he joined the mercenaries, with his faith and ability, he formed a mercenary group that unconditionally supported and supported the archbishop, which is now the largest mercenary group in the Papal States.
There are men and women in this servant mercenary group, and the conditions for joining are simple, they must be able to afford a weapon and be very loyal to the Illuminati, and each mercenary must be the most faithful servant of the Heavenly Father. The regimental leader, Arturas, changed the name of the mercenary group to "Servant" in order to show his own piety, and at the same time to make up for the mistakes he had committed in the first place.
Avi also collected gossip by the way, and it is said that this Arturas was expelled from the Order by the archbishop because of his conflict with the Pope. You must know that the Pope is the spokesman on behalf of the Heavenly Father on earth, so being expelled from the Order can be said to be a very light punishment.
Ever since that time when Fed and Cose saw the service in the pool, they both realized that the relationship between the Pope and the archbishop and the Knights of the Church was not so simple, and it seemed that this Arturas was of the archbishop's faction.
The recruitment of the warden Kesi was also going well, and with the assistance of the knight commander Riley, all the target numbers had been recruited in just three days. There are some people who have been advised to join the Potato Mercenary Regiment because they can't join the Church Knights, and the quality is quite high.
Among them, there is a twenty-eight-year-old cavalryman Hughes, who has always been the regular army of the Duchy of Neo, because he yearns for the Illuminati and the Pope, and specially came to join the Knights of the Church, but unfortunately he was not selected because of his previous status as a regular army, and this time he was specially recommended by Riley.
Fed also saw Hughes's abilities and decided to make him the squad leader of the cavalry squadron. However, Fei De had a slight doubt in his heart, whether he would be discouraged by having a trained cavalryman work under a young man of eighteen, and he decided to use this appointment as an experiment to see the results.
As for the weapon, Greif also solved it on the same day, and without saying a word, Riley recommended a subordinate blacksmith shop of the Knights of the Church to the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and asked Keth and Feder to go there and get the weapons they wanted whenever and wherever they wanted. Such a generous performance made Fei De realize that this papal state was indeed rich and prosperous, otherwise even if the other party was the duke himself and not the duke's daughter, a scrap iron would not be given to the other party, right?
Now all squadrons have been replenished, the cavalry of the cavalry squadron has its own horses, and the weapons of other squadrons have been replenished or updated. The next thing to do is to look at the combat training of the Marcus brothers, after all, the tacit understanding of the team cannot be improved in a day or two.
With eight days to go before all the mercenaries gather, Fed decides to write a letter to Andre, who is in the Rock Bandits.
