Chapter 245: Helplessness and Anxiety
readx;
The chubby businessman seemed to tell Fid everything he knew, and he said that Vittorio would still abide by the agreement between him and Fidel, and would use his own methods to solve the crisis of the rebels and bring the promised return to the potato mercenary group, as long as Fide completed his part of the plan. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Fidel began to understand that Vittorio's plan included not only himself, but also some other people, including this chubby businessman who gathered information and conveyed information for him.
"Vittorio has mentioned my mission..."
"Take it back and see it yourself, don't open it in front of me, I don't even want to know a word," the chubby merchant pulled out a folded letter from the pocket of his pants and carefully handed it to Fidel, "What he is most worried about is the changes in Black Swamp City, and he is also worried that Li Wei will cause some trouble, but isn't that rebel cadre named Li Wei dead..."
Fyde suddenly remembered the plan that Levier had revealed in the Stone Chair Chamber, and although it was not elaborated, he had heard some important information - the target of that plan was Duke Yanis, and Feder did not know if Levier had deliberately misled the others attending the meeting, because he did not believe that Revere would tell everyone who was present such an important plan, even the mercenaries.
"Can you still contact Vittorio now?"
"Of course you can, but I'm telling you, Vittorio doesn't give the most important tasks to anyone else, so you don't have to pay too much attention to the tasks Vittorio tells you, anyway, he will bear the final risks, and most of the profits will go to him. The tone of the chubby businessman was dissatisfied, and most of the mercenary businessmen did not like investments with small returns.
"I need to send some important intel to Vittorio, um... However, the authenticity of the information is up to Vittorio to judge for himself. ”
"You write first, and I'll send it to you," the chubby merchant immediately took out a pen and paper from his body, "You don't have to show me, just write down what you need to say to him, don't write too much, the white dove may be shot by the hunters." ”
By the time Fidel had finished writing about Livier's plan for the "Knife Donor", he got to know Vittorio's friend again. The other party said that he also had to pass on information to some other people, and that Fidel was only one of them, and that the others also had a relationship with Vittorio, but those people would not be more trustworthy than Fid's mercenary. Fidel couldn't guess anyone less trustworthy than a mercenary, but since he had chosen to trust Vittorio, he was forced to accept it as a pawn.
Before leaving, the chubby merchant reminded Fed that there had been some strange atmosphere in the city lately, and he wanted Fed to pay attention, and Fed nodded and walked towards the lodge with Vittorio's letter in his hand. A mercenary standing at the door of the dormitory reported to Fielder that the blind man, Simos, had just left the quarter, but some of Field's men were already following him as they had done last time, and they should not let the man run away.
Vittorio's letter contained only a few lines: Duke Yannis's situation has become more dangerous, he needs protection, and you must find a way to enter the Black Swamp City to protect him. If Duke Yannis is killed, it will be difficult for the Duchy of Mageni to avoid the danger of division.
Fidel frowned, he had just returned from Black Swamp City and was going to find a way to go back? If he really had to do what Vittorio said, then the matter of stepping down as the head of the regiment...
"Stay. Fidel seemed to hear Ayana say to himself again.
Now Fidel doesn't want to take on new responsibilities and doesn't have the confidence to do something well. He shook his head vigorously, trying to shake all the troubles out of his mind and drive away the anxiety in his heart.
Fidel, who sat in his chair, was in a daze, and never left the room until the sun went down. Fed had his men inform Lord Herman that the time of their meeting had been changed to tomorrow. Fett lay in bed, wanting to go to bed early, no longer thinking about all the things around him, but at this time he was completely sleepy.
After dinner, Fed, who had fallen asleep with slight fatigue, woke up in the middle of the night to find that the mercenaries guarding his door had also slept, and the whole rented house had become very quiet, and one or two cat meows from Simus's room were clearly discernible.
Fett thought about it for a moment but decided not to bother the Mr. Simos, for he intended to figure out the direction of the future for the night, rather than add any more trouble.
Fidel took out a piece of paper and wrote the numbers on it, intending to write after each one what he had to accomplish. It's a stupid and straightforward method, and Field, who has just woken up, is obviously not awake at all, and he intends to use the stupid method to find another way.
It wasn't until Feder had filled a whole sheet of paper that he realized he had so much to do. The more important things are promised to others - to help Russell take revenge and kill the Pillar Priest, to protect Ayana so that Ayana can live a normal life, and to carry out the agreement between him and Vittorio to protect Duke Yannis as much as possible.
These are the promises that have been made, and they must be done even if they do not continue to be the head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment. If you add up the responsibilities of being the head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, there are more important things. The affairs of these mercenaries can be given up for Field, but what cannot be given up is the bond with his subordinates - even if he is no longer the leader of the potato mercenary group, Fielder cannot let an incapable person become the leader of the regiment and then watch his companions be taken to dangerous places.
As for the promises you make to yourself, those things you want to prove are the most difficult...
Thinking of this, Fei De let out a long sigh, since witnessing the tragic death of Ah Ye and Ah Tie, a terrible anxiety appeared in Fei De's heart. This indescribable anxiety made Feide's hand tremble in his grip on the sword, he was not sure if his sword would still hit the enemy accurately, the confidence in the ease with which he used his weapon, the confidence in his own fighting skills, and more hesitation and uneasiness. Fidel couldn't explain the situation because he had never encountered it before and didn't know what to do. Because of this helpless situation, Fei De was not sure whether to allow Ayana to stay.
Fede gently put down his pen and put his hands on his forehead, not daring to look out the window behind him into the night. He had never tried to feel so frustrated, powerless from indescribable anxiety, and even more upset at not finding a solution.
If I'm no longer their leader, maybe I won't be bothered by my hesitation, right?
Fidel realized that he had thought enough about it, and he planned to try to sleep harder, and if sleep would allow him to find a way out of trouble, then he could sleep for three days and three nights.
But Fed, as usual, woke up at dawn.
The knight sent by Lord Herman was waiting in front of the lodge early in the morning, and he informed him that Lord Herman had an urgent matter to meet with him, and hoped that he would be able to visit Lord Herman's mansion at noon. Fidel did not hesitate, and arrived at Lord Herman's mansion on time for lunch.
When I walked into the dining room of the mansion, I saw that several mercenary captains were already sitting at the long table, and in the following ten minutes, two more captains appeared in the dining room.
"Captain Feide, are you okay?" After all the guests arrived, Herman walked out dressed and shook hands with Feide for the first time, "These are all the leaders of the mercenary group in Dumu City, and I invite you to my house this time because I have some important things to discuss with you." ”
Before Herman could sit down, a strong man sitting on Fed's left side replied loudly: "We are all good friends of Lord Herman, please tell me anything!"
"Yes, Lord Earl follows Lord Duke's defensive policy, and now our hands are itching, if we were sent to attack the rebels, we would be more than happy!" another middle-aged male mercenary sitting opposite Feder echoed.
Lord Herman smiled gently, "Everyone, don't be impatient, why don't you serve the food first, and only after lunch..."
"My lord, I've known you for a long time, and I know that you must have something important to do with you summoning us so quickly!" a mercenary with a scar on his face crossed his hands on his chest, and his sudden voice frightened a servant who was serving out the dishes did not dare to put down his plate.
Herman waved his hand, and the men retreated with the dishes in their hands. This nobleman, who was accustomed to bribing others with money, also used favors to bribe the other mercenaries present, and Fei De knew that he did not have much friendship with the other party, and the other party also showed a very unfriendly side in the last incident, so Fei De couldn't understand why he was invited to such a party between "close friends".
He Man looked at the seven mercenaries in front of him, he was silent for half a minute and then said: "Well, this time there is indeed something very important to discuss with you, since everyone trusts me, then I will get straight to the point - my uncle, that is, the lord of Dumu City, Count Endrida intends to defect to the Duchy of Deraman, and will sign a private agreement with the rebels to provide other city defense information in the southern region to the rebel organization. ”
The six mercenaries, except for Fed, were taken aback, and they looked at Herman in amazement, unable to utter a word. Herman quietly observed the expressions of the crowd, but he couldn't see anything on Fed's face, who was rarely changed by the words of others.
"I'm going to strike first and arrest my uncle who betrayed Duke Yannis and the Duchy of Mageni, I don't know what you think?"
There was another silence, and the man with the scar on his face was the first to react, he suddenly stood up and drew his weapon, "What are you waiting for! Since we are traitors who betrayed Duke Yannis, we don't have to show mercy! Let's rush into the castle together!"
Several other mercenaries who were good friends with Herman also stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to support Lord Herman, kill their relatives in righteousness, strike first, and control Count Endrida.
In the end, only Fidel was left without saying anything, and all the mercenaries looked at Fidel, while Herman looked at Fide unhurriedly and asked, "Captain Fidd, what do you think?"
