Chapter 34: The Will of Opposites
André's backyard was filled with a large pile of training equipment, as well as all kinds of weapons - two-handed greatswords, iron jab gloves, dual-wielding short knives, sharp clubs, maces, hand axes, and so on. And Feder stood under one roof and watched Andre frantically waving "silence", as if to dismantle and kill the non-existent "air enemy".
"You should know what my back hand is, right?" André turned around and "divided" the stone pillar that had been cut in half again, but the sword in his hand was as crisp as cutting wood.
Feder was still like that, but he was a little more absent-minded, and if he didn't look closely into his eyes, he really wouldn't notice the slightest distraction.
"Tell the Oguna Empire," Feder put the five fingers of his right hand together, "did we get momentarily confused by the appearance of the First Patriarch this afternoon?" he lowered his head slightly, and recalled all the objects in Tyre's room: books on how to make life better for the people, every piece of ornament that looked very elegant, and the portrait of Tyre accepting flowers from many children.
"Looks like you've noticed, and to be honest, I really had to be fooled by that cunning old man for a while," Andre hung up the silence, picked up an unedged two-handed sword and threw it to Fidel, who was clubbed there like a stone pillar, "so I had to fight to clear my mind!"
"Stone Pillar" Fei De immediately caught the two-handed sword, he did not hesitate at all, directly held the sword with one hand, and rushed towards Andre.
The blade swept towards Andre from the left, and Andre drew his unbladed two-handed sword from under his feet, holding the hilt with his right hand and holding the blade with his left hand, blocking Fidel's slash from the left.
"I don't think the fight is sobering. Fidel immediately pulled his sword back with both hands and stabbed forward.
"Really?" said Andre with a smile as he dodged the stab sideways, "Then I don't want to be sober, anyway, even when I dove, I don't necessarily know the purpose behind the old man." He grabbed the blade of the other man's sword with one hand and pulled it behind him.
"And when did you feel something was wrong?" Feder threw away the two-handed sword in his hand, and he picked up the "silence" on the wooden sword rack backwards. The chopping sword, which is nearly 1.4 meters long, is not as thick as expected, but it is indescribably suitable to hold in the hand.
Andre held two unbladed two-handed swords in his hands at the same time, like a dual-wielding samurai, "I realized it after you reminded me," he raised two two-handed swords, opened his bow left and right, and slashed at Fid from both directions at the same time, like a giant pair of scissors, "but I now feel another problem. ”
Feder leaned back, dodging the combined cross-attack, but André immediately pressed Feder head-on with two cross-stacked swords, like a crooked cross. Fei De immediately raised the "silence" and slashed forward. The enchanted sword was so sharp that it curled the two swords out of the way at the touch of a touch, but its length did make Feder feel uncomfortable, but he still blocked the attack under the pressure of the two swords.
Both eyes were looking at each other, but the three swords in their hands were not separated in the slightest, and they were deadlocked with each other, neither of them retreated, and no one unloaded their strength.
"I'm more interested in what you're behind than what I'm behind Tyre!" Andrey's mouth was open, his two rows of teeth clenched together, but he could still see his ambiguous smile spilling out at the corners of his mouth, "You're not just here for my 'silence', are you?"
Fidel didn't open his mouth, his thin, bloodless lips were like a chained slit, rarely "pulling" when someone asked. He pushed the other party away with all the strength of his body, and then handed the enchanted slashing sword in his hand to Andre with the tip of the sword pointing down, "I just want to be a mercenary." ”
Andre threw the two swords in his hand and took his enchanted slashing sword. At this time, he was already sweating profusely, and his bare upper body was like a slippery piece of soap.
"Oh, a mercenary, then you are now a mercenary, and you are about to become a squad leader, what are you going to do after that?" In fact, Andrei did not trust this outsider who often wore a wooden expression from the beginning. If Fei De is an uninformed hillbilly, then there are probably not many people who will believe it after a few days of getting along. The two encounters did not exert all his strength, although the skill of the two-handed weapon was not as good as his own, but his enchanted armor would never be used, "I didn't even have the slightest chance to touch his black armor!" Andre kept scolding himself in his heart.
"After becoming a squad leader, it stands to reason that you should want to continue to work hard, build up your military achievements, and then become a squadron leader," Feide's two eyes looked up, but the dark black pupils did not let the whites of the lower eyes be exposed, what beautiful eyes these are.
Andre laughed dryly, "Then it's to replace me as the head of the regiment and be the head of the regiment himself, isn't it?" Andre looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, although he was not handsome, but the charm of the other party was indeed completely different from his own. He had deliberately let Fide see the information he had captured, he had Fide analyze it together, he had Fide attend the captain's meeting, and he had taken him with him even when he went to meet the First Senator. But why didn't this man move at all? didn't make any strange movements? The only time I didn't see it was when I talked to Alain all night, but what was the point? André was always trying to find out what was wrong with Fidel, because everything seemed so irrational and unnatural. But he couldn't find the slightest loophole, and he didn't find anything except his own uneasiness and intuition in his heart.
Fidel shook his head and said, "I don't have that idea," he asked Alain one last question that night, which was why Andre was so young, but at the age of twenty, he became the leader of a mercenary group that had once been brilliant. Alain's answer surprised Field.
"He was the son of Josephine. "Sixteen years ago, Josephine brought with him a four-year-old child, and that child was Andrew. Russell has always treated Andre as his own son, and the entire Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment knows about it, but when Andre was fifteen years old, Josephine disappeared. In Andrei's mind, he always believed that Russell murdered his mother in order to know the whereabouts of other life weapons, so he always wanted to avenge his mother and kill Russell with his own hands. However, Russell treated him better than before, and told all the squadron leaders that if he was not the commander of the regiment one day, he must assist Andre as the commander of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment. ”
The sweat on Andre's body had gradually been dried by the breeze, and he found a stone and sat down, but his eyes did not leave Feide "half a step". "Although I don't know if you are a spy sent from somewhere, but our mercenary group has nothing now, are you also here for that life weapon?" This is the only explanation that André thinks is the most plausible, although there is no evidence for this, but all the "greedy hearts" around him are beating for that treasure, no exceptions.
Fei De didn't answer the other party's question, but instead asked a question: "What about you, what do you want to do after becoming the leader of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment?"
"I want revenge, if I kill Russell, I'll get out of here and never be a mercenary again!" Andre said as if he had memorized a line countless times, and he couldn't see any thought process.
"And what would you do if someone wanted to protect Russell and someone wouldn't let you kill him?" Feder suddenly felt that his question was a bit redundant, but Uncle Evan's letter said that he hoped to bring Russell and Moon Shield back to the kingdom of Salins, because it was the only life weapon that appeared and the only person who used it—everything was for the motherland, and what I am doing now was not for my uncle?
"That's the person who is against me!The opposing force!" Andre said with his hand gently stroking the blade of the "silenced", "If someone is against my will, then I will not hesitate to kill it!"
The night wind blowing in from outside the house made a strange sound, as if the night was laughing at Andrei's childishness. Fidel didn't go on, because he had managed to distract the other person from asking him the question. And this person in front of him is so determined, it is estimated that even if his mother Josephine is in front of him, he may not be able to shake his will.
"Well, that's decided, right?" asked Fidel lightly.
Andrei nodded and said, "Yes, I have already sent a message to the Oguna Empire, and those crows with the Creed are estimated to be delivered to Glyncoe in a few days, and the Emperor of Oguna will see with his own eyes, an opportunity to break through the territory of the Winter Kingdom, and an opportunity to expand the territory of the Empire." "It also gave me a chance. Andrei said in his heart.
Fide also nodded, thinking to himself: If the empire really sends troops from the capital Grimmko to attack the Kingdom of Cose, will it cause an unexpected chain reaction on the mainland?
"So do the other squadron leaders know about this?"
"Alain and Eddie know that they are my most trusted men. ”
"What about Julian and Bizluvis?"
"You seem to have a lot of questions, why don't you answer me a few questions first?"
Feder frowned, and had to swallow back what he wanted to ask, as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of phlegm, but had to swallow it back.
"Tomorrow, I guess we will be able to recruit enough guys tomorrow, all mercenaries with two-handed weapons, and we will start training," Andre didn't really ask a few more questions, because he only believed in cutting wood and didn't believe in making wood open his mouth to say what he didn't want to say, "No matter what the First Elder has planned, our mercenary group must be prepared first." ”
