Chapter 197: The Lord's Sincerity
readx;
The investigators were divided into three groups, and the first group consisted of only five people, and they were mainly responsible for investigating the head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, Fidel. The civilian officials were already waiting for Fielder when he showed up at www.biquge.info the camp, and they were allowed to stay in one of the tents to meet with Field. Feder noticed that the other party mainly asked him about the ins and outs of the grain, but the investigators did not divulge the slightest information about the traitor Derek, as if to avoid false confessions.
The second group of investigators, consisting of 20 people, focused on the testimony of the squadron leaders and squad leaders in the Potato Mercenary Regiment. Since several of the squad leaders were temporarily appointed by Fidel before the Battle of Doret, these squad leaders who were promoted because of their excellent abilities will also be investigated and interrogated.
The third group of investigators, who were more numerous, were mainly responsible for conducting investigative interviews with the mercenaries who were still in the camp and the heads and mercenaries of the other three mercenary groups. Fidel and the other squadron leaders had also heard that some of the investigators had been sent to the Papal States to investigate the head of the Church Order, Satnam, and the deputy head of the Order, Rashad, who had briefly taken over the poisoned grain, but that the number of the team was much smaller. Perhaps it was because the Western Empire still needed to maintain this solid ally after the war, or because the Papal States did not send anyone to congratulate them, but in short, there were a lot of things that needed to be done among the investigators sent by the Western Ancient Empire, and the investigation might not be as simple as poisoning the food.
In the face of the investigators' meticulous interrogation, Fei De answered truthfully and there was nothing wrong with it. Even the investigators were told the truth about what happened on the border of the Three Duchies, and the accident of being besieged by thousands of horse thieves became the focus of the investigators' attention, and they began to bow their heads and whisper when they understood the situation, as if they were going to send someone to the Duchy of Nuo to investigate it later.
By the end of the first day's investigation, the other captains and the leaders of the three mercenary groups were already waiting for Fid. Both Hei and Charlie were venting their bitterness to Fidel, they had already planned to leave here and go somewhere else to make a living, after all, the official letter of lockment that day did not prevent the Black Mercenary Group and the superior mercenary group from leaving the camp. But the soldiers who were guarding the perimeter didn't let anyone out of here, even if they had already shown that they weren't from the Potato Mercenary Regiment. Instead, Captain Jasmine told Fed in private that she intended to follow Field's Potato Mercenary Regiment and merge the two mercenary groups into one to become a more powerful mercenary group - of course, she said that she could be either a deputy leader or a squadron leader, and the main command was still left to Fit. As long as this investigation is over, and when the Potato Mercenaries regain their freedom, the Potato Mercenary Group will be able to achieve a regimental union.
This proposal makes it worth considering for Field, although the mercenaries of the Mulika Mercenary Group are all some male mercenaries who seem to be particularly delicate, but the other party's ranged troops are very skilled. The slender crossbowmen are unequivocal in their ability to pull the crossbow machine, and they are able to kill and wound enemies from a distance, as well as pick up light weapons and engage them in hand-to-hand combat. Compared with the superior mercenary group and the black mercenary group, it is obvious that the mercenaries of the Mulihua mercenary group will be more practical. And the head of the regiment, Jasmine, has always shown a convincing attitude towards herself, but if the other party is the deputy leader...
Feder says she needs to think about it, and Jasmine agrees.
Patrick's injuries were already healed, and the minor injuries to the crossbow bolts didn't have much of an impact on the arena-hardened champion fighters, who were now able to move freely. And Ayana, Noor, Luka and others are also in good shape, and Reeves is even more smiling after receiving the reward of 10,000 gold coins - he "brought" 50,000 gold coins from Alain's pocket, and now he has earned 10,000 gold coins in just two months, and the potato mercenary group can already outperform countless mercenary groups on the continent in terms of the speed of accumulation of wealth alone.
The Chief Warden also obtained Field's approval, and gave the gold coins and some other heavy weapons that had been discarded in the camp as a reward to the hundreds of mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and every one of Field's subordinates smiled and no longer worried about being besieged here.
Two days later, Lord Möngke himself came to the camp with some valuables, and with him was a maiden, the servant of the Saintess Golia, who had two strings of beads in her ears. She calls herself Ji'er, and Golia has sent her to thank Captain Fede for her help.
"Captain Fidel, you must take these things!" Lord Mönggo was clearly wounded, and he had a shallow scar on his neck, which seemed to have been left by the Battle of Doret, "at that time, because of my limited skills, I was defeated by those hateful invaders! Fortunately, the regimental commander rescued me from the crowd, otherwise I would have died in the chaos!" The gifts he brought included swords encrusted with precious stones, brightly colored armor, and many silverware used by nobles. He told Fed that in the past, these things were sent to him by nobles from other places who wanted to curry favor with his father, but after such a thrilling battle, he realized that these flashy things were of no use, so he gave them to Field's mercenary group, and Fielder could sell them or keep them.
He also told Fide that his father and six other great nobles had been released, and that all the nobles, with the exception of Marquis Makilov, had returned to their domains with soldiers they had "personally" summoned. The Marquis of Makilov also decided to stay in the city of Doret and serve His Majesty Manfret himself. Now everyone knows that Manfret is Lixson, and it turns out that this is the plan that the regent Xiumo came up with to protect His Majesty Manfret, and even the regent's own brother, his father Montrees, does not know about it.
Now that the one-year truce agreement between the two empires has paid off, it seems that both sides are planning to rest and rest, and the captured cities in the south seem to have all been subjugated by the Eastern Oguna Empire, so I don't know if anyone will contact Doret City privately. And those two who had been communicating with the Chief of the General Staff by letter, and the so-called knights were also confirmed to be a ploy of the East Oguna Empire, but fortunately, the command of the St. Oguna Empire did not believe their words too much. What saddened Lord Möngke the most was that Bonzina, who was his uncle's most trusted old ministry, was transferred to an important position in Greencone, but he didn't expect General Boncina to really betray the St. Augusta Empire.
After catching up with Mungo, the girl named Ji'er also brought a handwritten letter from the Holy Maiden Golia, "Open it when you're alone!" said the round-baby-faced Ji'er mysteriously, just like the girl next door secretly stuffed the love letter she had prepared to the boy she had been secretly in love with. It's just that Ji'er also brought gifts from the Holy Maiden Golia to the Potato Mercenary Group, mainly some weapons, and many of them were trophies captured on the battlefield. Ji'er tells Fed that St. Goliath is grateful for Fett's presence on the high wall at that time, and she also says that as long as St. Oguna has her for a day, the Empire will regard the Mercenary Guild as an enemy. Since Fed had already dealt with the mercenaries of the three mercenary guilds, she hoped to one day work with Feder to deal with the most fat-bellied parasites in these wars, perhaps so that the order of the mercenaries could be improved.
When Meng Ge and Ji'er left, Meng Ge still held Fei De's arm and said, "Captain Feide, I know that with your ability, you will definitely not be willing to be a privileged mercenary here, but the Holy Oguna Empire really needs a young leader with potential and ability like you, why don't you think about it again?"
"I also need to grow my mercenary group. ”
"Wouldn't it be better to stay here, even if you don't agree to the uncle's request to become a knight, you can continue to serve the Holy Oguna Empire here," Lord Möngke looked sincere, and his posture was very low, "We can definitely retake the south, or even the entire Oguna Empire..."
"Your Excellency, I have other things on my mind for the time being, and I will leave here when the investigation is over. Feder interrupted and replied in a faint tone.
"Alas, it's a pity, among the more than fifty mercenary groups at the beginning, only Your Excellency's potato mercenary group was dedicated to assisting the St. Augusta Empire, and even the guy named Fuller was a traitor who collaborated with the enemy, and the mercenary group of Captain Fielder was already a tested mercenary group. Even if our strength is limited by our strength now, we will definitely not treat you lightly, for fear that if we say goodbye today, we will not know whether you are friend or foe in the future..."
Fei De slowly withdrew his arm and said, "Although I am a mercenary, I will also have my own principles. Feder didn't say much, and Lord Möngke nodded helplessly, and said goodbye to Fett.
But Möngke didn't go far before he turned back again. He jumped off his horse, found Fidel, who had not yet entered the camp, and said to Fidel, "By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be reminded of Captain Fidel. ”
"Speak. ”
"If after the investigation of the poisoned food incident is over, Captain Fielder really hasn't changed his mind, and I hope that Captain Fielder can leave Doret City as soon as possible," he looked around to make sure that there was no other eyes and ears before continuing. Stanley, the chief of the general staff, had already been suspicious of some strange actions of the Winter Envoy Ludwig on the battlefield, but he did not take any action at the time, and later learned that the Winter Nation was planning to take advantage of the chaos to murder the Holy Maiden, and because of other things, Stanley had been rebuked by the regent and ordered to be demoted. Now Stanley is planning to find something that can make meritorious contributions, and I am afraid that he will attack you who is unwilling to accept the employment of our country, so..."
"Understood, I'll plan as soon as possible. Fei De was very grateful for the other party's reminder in his heart, although when he first met Lord Möngke, he thought that the other party was just a chattering nobleman and did not have much ability. But after experiencing big and small things, I found out that Meng Ge is also a good person with a warm heart.
Five days later, the investigation into the poisoned food was concluded, and with the intervention of St. Golia, Fed's Potato Mercenary Regiment was acquitted. Hei and Charlie bid farewell to Fidel one after another, and Jasmine, the leader of the Mulihua mercenary group, also reached an agreement with Fidel that the two mercenary groups would become one. Jasmine herself served as the leader of the crossbowmen squadron of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and Ayana temporarily served as the captain of the archers. This merger instantly turned the Potato Mercenary Group into a medium-sized mercenary group with nearly a thousand people.
