Chapter 382: An Unexpected Opponent On
readx;
The night of the fight with Saresa came back to Feide's mind, and the long silky hair of maroon was as beautiful as the long hair of his mother in memory, as if the most beautiful color in the world was the color of that hair, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy. www.biquge.info If it weren't for the long hair of the special color that was draped over the helmet, Feder wouldn't have been able to confirm that person was Saresa, the Python of the Wasteland.
"That personโ" AYANA didn't pay much attention, but when Fidel looked stunned for a moment, the intuitive Ayana remembered who had walked into the tavern with Robin.
"She is the high-ranking general of the empire that I heard about before, and I didn't expect her to come here from the empire itself. Feyde confirmed to himself that after all, Saresa was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and that her soft beauty was not the same as that of Margaret, who had the beauty of a country and a city. One makes people close, and the other makes people distant.
Vega also saw that it was a female general, and after listening to Field's words, he asked, "Commander, is this your friend? I see that her pace is very steady, and her shoulder swing is also powerful, so I guess she has some strength. โ
"It should be. Fed remembered the twin-pointed fork that had been snatched from the other man's hand, and who would have thought that an imperial noblewoman would use that rather masculine weapon. Now that the other party has appeared in the city of the three calves and appeared next to the target Robin, this unexpected opponent has instantly turned into a problem.
AYANA replied to Vega, "That woman is the cousin of Emperor Electrium IV, known as the 'Python of the Wasteland'. โ
Vega was stunned and immediately remembered the name of the Wasteland Python, but he also remembered his regimental commander's exploits in the Battle of Doret, that is, to repel the Wasteland Python, the supreme commander of the Eastern Oguna Imperial Army.
"No wonder the head of the regiment showed such an expression, it turned out to be an old rival," Vega didn't seem to know that it was the most beautiful woman in Fidel's heart, "This is indeed a very high level, it is the imperial family, if you can catch it at the same time... The opportunity to turn the tide of the battle presented itself. โ
Fidel was sobered up by Vega's words, even if Saresa and he sympathized with him, but for two people with different positions, tonight would still become rivals and enemies. That time, he got a chance to one-on-one with the other party because of his strategy, and he briefly captured the other party, but this time it was different, this was the occupied area of the Imperial army. Judging by the number of Imperial guards guarding the outskirts of the tavern, it was several times more difficult to catch Robin tonight and get out of it without incident.
Fenrir and Octavia must have found their place and were secretly observing the Imperial officers in the tavern. Fett wanted to warn them that the two of them were not good, but he hadn't figured out what to do with Saresa.
"Since it is a big man like the Wasteland Python who came to the city of the Three Calves, it means that the Glencor side has already thought about dealing with the Duchy of Mageni and the Kingdom of Kosai with all their might. Taking advantage of her first visit to the Mageni Principality, you might as well rob her too!" Vega was already gearing up and eager to try, and Ayana echoed Vega in a low voice.
But by the time the sun went down, Fidel hadn't made a final decision. After another half an hour of observation, Fed decided to go into the tavern himself to inspect the situation.
"Sneaking in through the back door of the tavern might be able to connect with Octavia and Fenrir. โ
Vega was puzzled: "Don't you just wait for them to come out and do it?"
"There are so many guards today that even if you try to control Robin and them in the tavern, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of it. โ
Ayana and Vega had no choice but to take off their leather armor and follow Fidel in civilian clothes from another street to the back of the tavern, where there was another entrance. It just so happened that there were no Imperial Guards patrolling the area, so Fei De and the two of them quietly walked into the tavern.
Upon entering the tavern, he saw Fenrir chatting with the bartender on the first floor, chatting and drinking a large glass of wheat wine, while Octavia was not by his side.
"Fed... And Vega, why are you here? Would you like to have a drink together?" Fenrir then raised his wooden wine glass, and the bartender just glanced at it before continuing to pour it to the other guests.
The three of them sat next to Fenrir, with their backs to the hall on the first floor of the full tavern, "Where's Octavia?"
"She's in the box above," Fenrir looked straight at the barrel in front of her, "and her men have chartered a box for her, not large, but closer to the box where Robin and the Imperial officers were, so that we could make a move. Why did you come in?"
"That high-ranking Imperial officer..."
"Oh, I know who that person is, there are not many noblewomen who have that kind of beauty, and who have always shown themselves in military attire, and Saresa the Wasteland Python is one of them. It seems that we were lucky enough to run into an Imperial officer of more status than Godala. โ
"There are a lot of Imperial guards outside the tavern, and if you go according to the original plan, you will definitely disturb the guards in the city. โ
Fenrir turned his head slightly and looked at the door of the first floor of the tavern, "That's why the head of the regiment came in and wanted to deal with them in the box?"
"If there's no other way... How many people are in the box?"
"There are six, counting Robin and Saresa. According to their appearance... Except for Saresa, the official position of the others is definitely not high, and if it is troublesome, it is enough to kill them. "If it were Bradley's side, Fenrir would not have said such a thing. But he knew that he needed to play the role of a mercenary at this time, and the Imperial officers were just an obstacle to completing their tasks and getting a high reward.
Vega leaned his face over: "I can deal with two at the same time, the voice is small and fast. โ
"I'm one. Ayana also said.
Fenrir shook his head, "Looking at the face of the head of the regiment, it is estimated that it is not a question of how many people have to deal with. I heard that Captain Fed had fought with Saresa in the past, could it be that the head of the regiment had any thoughts about that royal?" Fenrir's voice was also very low, but when he mentioned "royal", the bartender with sensitive ears and had long been accustomed to eavesdropping on all kinds of gossip in the tavern still swept his eyes to this side.
"Since we've booked a box, let's go up and talk about it. Fidel said aloud.
Fenrir raised the wooden wine glass and drank it down, "That woman doesn't like people to drink, so I came down." โ
The four of them went up to the second floor, and the guards let them into the box after a brief question. The guards standing guard seemed to have received an order not to affect the drinkers here. Fei De guessed that it was because the Imperial generals did not want to do anything to disturb the people, and they were afraid that the people of the principality here would resent the Imperial Army of East Oguna as invaders.
When she walked into Box 4, where the Rebels had gotten her hands, Octavia was sitting against the wall, one ear pressed against the wall, one leg stretched flat, the other bent to the ground, and both eyes looking at Fidel's side at the same time.
"Quiet, I'm listening to the movement next door. โ
Ayana also leaned over, and Fenrir said, "It's clear that there are two boxes apart, how can you hear that you are not a cat." โ
Fid saw Ayana listening intently to the movement behind the wall, and he sat down at the wooden table with Vega and Fenrir. In addition to wine bottles, there is a stove, grill, cooking utensils, and even two simple beds, and it seems that this place is intended for the rich drunk.
It wasn't until both Ayana and Octavia had stopped eavesdropping that Fid told Octavia about Saresa. The other party obviously didn't know who Saresa was, but when Feder finished talking about the situation of the Wasteland Python, the rebel cadre gave an unexpected suggestion.
"Kill Saresa and the other officers, taking only her head and Robin. โ
"No, I can't. Fidel's first instinct was to deny Octavia's intentions.
"Why not?"
"Becauseโ" Fidel glanced at Ayana, "becauseโ" Fidel hesitated for a long time and still couldn't say why, but Fidel knew exactly what he was thinking - the other party's special hair color alone made it impossible for Fei De to do it, even if the other party was from the enemy camp.
Octavia looked at Vega and Ayana in bewilderment, seeking answers.
"I don't know why, but since it's the commander's decision, it's better to follow it. Vega reached out for a second.
"Is our captain afraid of offending the big men of the East Oguna Empire?" Fenrir's complexion was pale and red, and he looked even more handsome after drinking a little wine, "I remember that the Fide Regiment was the man who killed the son of the Prime Minister of the Empire, the head of the knights named Carlos... Killing one more won't change anything. โ
Even Ayana looked at Fid silently, and finally Fidel closed her eyes and said, "Catch her too, she is more useful alive than dead." โ
Octavia shook her head: "It may not be good to take Robin away, but if you take the emperor's cousin away, you may encounter countless pursuers." Are you sure we'll get out of it all?"
"Kill her and get out of the way?" Feder asked rhetorically, "You guys are in charge of the rest, and Saresa will give it to me." โ
The people who were ready to move sent Vega to inform the others outside the tavern, and sent Fenrir, who had drunk a little wine, to test first. Fenrir pretended to be a drunk to find the toilet, and pretended to be a mistakenly Fenrir broke through the distracted guards and walked to the box where Robin was.
"What are you going to do? I'm from the Duchy of Mageni! Don't touch me with your hands! I'm not your slave!"
This shouting was of course heard by the people inside the box, and a friendly Imperial officer immediately stepped out, and Fenrir squinted to spy on something going on in the box - one of the Imperial officers was already drunk, and Robin was chatting and laughing with the other two Imperial officers. Saresa, who was dressed in light red scale armor and looked more restrained, sat cross-legged with her back to the door.
"Oh, I made a mistake... Wellโ" Fenrir walked back the way he came, staggering to the end of the hallway before finding where he "wanted to go".
After confirming the situation in the next box, Ayana suddenly said, "There are not only six people in that room, but also a seventh person. โ
Octavia frowned, "Why didn't I hear that?"
"The seventh man is like a still tree, standing in a place that Captain Fenrir doesn't see, and should be a strong guard. โ
