Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 118 Resignation (II)
After exiting the council hall, the deputy head of the Order, Lassad, invited Feyde to walk with him outside the land of Amy. At this time, it was already late February, and there was never snow in the territory of the Oguna Empire in the south, but because the snow on the Split Mountains began to melt gradually, there were rivers rushing to the east and west of the Oguna Empire, and Rashad took Fide to a river to the west.
"Let's not talk about your resignation yet, okay?" Rashad hadn't met with Fed since that night's surprise attack, "Let's talk about the surprise attack on the castle between the rivers first, of course, if you want to talk about the battle here, you can do that." β
Fei De shook his head, he didn't plan to let his potato mercenary group participate in the defense of the West Oguna Empire, he looked at the clear river in front of him and said, "Has Marven of the King's Knight Mercenary Group been caught?"
"No, of course not," Rashad spread his hands, "I originally sent soldiers to guard the secret passage, ready to meet you, but I didn't expect that Marven would have let his men kill all my people and take him away." Rashad said he was also shocked when he heard the news. You must know that it was the mercenary guild who took the initiative to find Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, so all the people of the Church Order, including Rashad, never suspected Malvern who took the initiative to ask to join the surprise attack, but they didn't expect that the other party betrayed everyone just to take away the life weapon.
"And what is the agreement between you and Lord Martin?"
"I know you're going to ask this," Rashad thought for a moment, deciding to tell Fed, "I'll tell you the truth, although you're a mercenary, I'd rather trust you than the other colleagues, after all, they all owe allegiance to the archbishop, not to the rightful Pope." So as you should guess, the secret agreement between me and Lord Martin has something to do with the Pope. β
"In other words, he will help you overthrow the current Archbishop Arthur Auerbach in the Papal States?"
Rashad sat down on the spot, but he deliberately did not sit on a small yellow flower, "Lord Martin not only wants to gain the power of his uncle, but also wants to hold this power more firmly in his own hands, which requires external force, perhaps the Pope and I are the external force." The prosperity of the Papal States also requires more external forces, and you and Martin are one of them. β
Feder looked sideways at Rassad, and what the other party said was the same as what he had said on the walls of the City of Light that night, making Feder feel sincere and simple. If Martin was able to make a secret agreement with Lassad, he might also make other agreements with others if he wanted to consolidate his power, and Lashad didn't understand? Maybe it wasn't that he didn't understand, but that he had no other way.
"One more thing, the leader of the Tearing Mercenary Regiment, 'Sharp Claw', is also on your side?"
"I believe he was very upset with Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, who was his brother! β
Feld had nothing to ask, and now it was his turn to confess to him, promising to tell him about Korth's whereabouts.
Rashad looked to the west, which was adjacent to the Kingdom of Sarins and was a relatively peaceful land of the Western Oguna Empire, and the invading forces of the Eastern Oguna Empire might not have penetrated there. "Your friend Coth, the daughter of the Grand Duke, as we all know, was taken captive by Amsol's men. β
"Ammehβ" Feder gripped the burned palm.
"That's right, it's the second prince of the Kingdom of Salin, Anso, according to the report of the church knights, the second prince of Anso appeared outside the city of Crafe that day, and only after confirming that Kesi had returned from the battlefield and entered the city of Crafeld, he sent someone to take her captive. β
Rashad said she didn't know where Kesi was, but it was likely that the strong man with the harpoon next to her would also be taken with her. The knight of the church reported to him that he had seen Prince Amsel later carry a wagon out of the city of Crafeld, and that the guards of the city had let him go without asking anything, given that it was in the midst of the Battle of the River.
Ansol is the second prince of the kingdom of Salins, and it is possible that he recognized Koth when he was in the City of Light, and then sent someone to capture her back to Mallot. Maybe that's really the case, so that Kesi can live the life of a noble lady again, right? Feder thought to himself, his clenched palm gradually loosened, and his five fingers stretched out and closed.
"Although I don't know what that eldest lady has to do with you, but from my personal point of view, I still hope that you can face the current difficulties with us first, after all, if the Theoguna Empire is finished, the Papal States will also be lost..."
At this time, a knight of the church appeared behind the two of them, "Deputy head of the Church, there is an urgent report from the City of Light, the Pope has something important to discuss with the deputy head of the group, and orders the deputy head of the group to inform you to go back immediately, this is the Pope's edict, please take a look!" The knight took out the edict from his bosom and gave it to Rassad. After reading the edict quickly, Rashad said to Fidel: "I am going back to the City of Light, the Pope needs me, and all the people of the Papal States need you." I hope you'll be able to stay here longer, you're one of the few people I trust!"
Fett looked at Rassad's sincere eyes, the other party, as the deputy head of the Church Knights, only trusted himself and the two mercenaries "Sharp Claw", and others might not believe him when he said it. But Fidel could see that the other party was not lying, and that Rashad was the kind of person who could make the Papal States better, and make the lives of the commoners better, and that was true.
After Rashad hurried away, Fidel walked in the direction of Amy's Country, thinking about what Rashad had said as he went. This town is located dozens of kilometers west of Doret City, the capital of the Western Oguna Empire, and is the closest town to Doret City. Now that the town had been allocated reinforcements from the Papal States, there were no other soldiers from the Theoguna Empire, except for a small number of town guards. When Fed returned from outside the town, he noticed that the soldiers in the town were all depressed, most of them were armed soldiers of the Church.
"Captain Fed!" Avi's voice came from not far away, his arm still holding the plank, and it might take more than twenty days to remove it.
"What's wrong?"
"Are we going to get out of here?" Avitha had just gone to the place where the female knight chief Selena was recuperating, and the other party's injuries were not serious, but several ribs were broken, and she was now on bed rest.
"Let's go back and talk about it, maybe..."
Back in the temporary camp of the Potato Mercenary Group, Fidel's tent was already full of captains, and everyone was waiting for Fidel to come back to decide where the Potato Mercenary Group would go.
When Marcus saw Fett walk in, he immediately said, "We can leave, right?
Fidel sat down in the captain's seat, and he shook his head, "Maybe I'll have to stay here a little longer, mainly because I haven't decided where we should go." Fidel lied, and while he wasn't sure where the Potato Mercenaries would continue to earn a living if they were to leave the Church League, that wasn't the main reason.
"How so," Marcus whispered in frustration.
Nur and Avi looked at each other and smiled, "We already knew that Senior Fid wouldn't leave all of them, so we have just gone outside to gather a lot of information about the front line, so that our mercenary group can be more flexible and less passive!" Avi said excitedly.
The other captains all expressed their support for Fidel's choice as deputy head of the regiment, and they were all very obedient to Fidel's leadership. Instead, Ayana sighed softly, and Fede noticed the other party's actions, but Ayana just watched and listened silently as usual, without saying a word.
Suddenly, Fett felt a sense of loss, and he looked at the place where Keth was supposed to be sitting, and now he was being sat by Warden Reeves. After knowing the whereabouts of the other party from Rashad's mouth, Fide's "best plan" in his heart has put his mind at ease, but the involuntary sense of loss makes Fide uncomfortable. It should be difficult to meet her again in the future, right?
