Chapter 11 Pacing Back and Forth
readx;
The Potato Mercenary Regiment chose the Principality of Mageni instead of the Principality of Nuo when it came to choosing between the two destinations. This decision www.biquge.info not surprise the squadron leaders, after all, the Duchy of Noor shares the border with the Republic of Marveil, and it would not be good if there was any collision with the Moon Shield Mercenary Group.
And in the Dulumber City of the Duchy of Mageni, Fei De and his subordinates have been staying here for half a month, and so far they have only accepted some simple mercenary tasks, most of the members of the potato mercenary group are in recuperation, and many of his subordinates have only recovered a little bit from the injuries left by the Battle of Doret. Selena, the former female knight commander and current cavalry squadron leader, has gradually recovered from the loss of Rashad and devoted herself to training mounted mercenaries.
Dumu is a city to the west of the Duchy of Mageni, which is an important hub city with the main road to the west and the border of the Duchy of Dlamain to the south. Therefore, there will be a lot of mercenary work waiting for the mercenary group to be completed in the mercenary house here, but the potato mercenary group has not yet accepted the tasks that require the whole group to dispatch, most of them are some escort caravans to cross the border and protect goods, or small tasks to assist in the repair of buildings in the city.
Neither the new squadron leader Jasmine, Selena, nor Nur and Luka raised any questions about Fide's approach, and everything that happened during the time they spent with Fide had proven that Fide's judgment was always correct. Since the potato mercenaries did not choose to go directly to the Black Swamp, the capital of the Duchy of Mageni, and chose to rest in the city of Dugger, there must be a reason for Fidel - every squadron leader and squad leader believed that Fide would lead them to become stronger.
But perhaps no one other than Ayana understands Field's current predicament—he is already in a dilemma when it comes to thinking about the way forward.
Several squadron leaders were able to see Fidel in the mercenary quarters staying in his room, not going out for days and nights. And every time I saw Fed, I always found the other party in his room looking at the map of the continent, pacing back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.
Ayana took the initiative to take care of Fidel's diet, and the other squadron leaders have the ability and power to accept mercenary tasks independently, so Fidel doesn't have to worry too much, only Ayana is the same as Fidel, who doesn't go out or participate in the mission.
"You've been thinking about it for another day, haven't you made any progress?" Ayana brought in a glass of warm milk, along with a few slices of bread topped with baked bacon and corn kernels. This was Fidel's dinner, and it wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Ayana personally brought it in.
"I guess there is. Feder stopped pacing and walked slowly to the table, but every few steps he glanced back at the map of the continent.
Ayana saw that the other party's beard had grown sparsely again, anyway, Fei De didn't go out to meet people recently, so Ayana didn't remind the other party to pay attention to her appearance.
"You're thinking about how to avenge Uncle Russell, aren't you?" Ayana clicked directly, leaving no room for error. As soon as Fidel put the slice of bread in his mouth, he looked up at Ayana, who was so blunt.
"I'm just thinking about how to make the Potato Mercenary Group stronger," Feder ate a slice of bread in a few bites, and drank half a glass of milk between words, "If you just continue to accept the mission of the Mercenary House somewhere like a normal mercenary group, it will probably take a long time." Fidel also opened his heart, perhaps because Ayana had been taking care of herself like this for half a month. The change in himself was manifested in his beard, but the change in Ayana was still seen by Fidel - the other party began to deliberately grow her hair, and the short hair that was as short as the boy's has changed, and the other party even tried to tie up the longer hair, although it was unsuccessful.
Ayana waited until Fed had eaten everything before she picked up the iron basin and slowly walked to the door. She didn't respond to Fidd's words, and it wasn't until a moment before closing the wooden door that she said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”
Don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's because of this pressure that you hesitate in the Singlewood City.
Fylde walked back to his chair, but he didn't sit down, and stood on the windowsill of the mercenary's quarters, looking at the pedestrians on the streets of Duplank City. The citizens walked the streets carefree, and the welfare of the commoners in the Duchy of Magini was very good, although it was not as good as that of the Duchy of Nou, but the people here lived almost stress-free. They only need to work about six hours a day to receive the full subsidy of the Principality, and those who do not have jobs will automatically find their jobs, and it is impossible to starve to death.
But they don't have any desires, they don't have any ideals.
Feder closed the curtains, he knew that he was different from them, they would willingly be an ordinary person, just pray for the war to stay away, and live a dull life. But he can't do this anymore, and now there seems to be a lot of invisible pressure on his shoulders, which is whipping him and forcing him to find a way forward.
One of the pressures came from Russell and the other party's life weapon, the Moon Shield.
From obtaining the Moon Shield, a weapon of life, to the present, Feide's mood has changed from full of anticipation to confusion, from confusion to disappointment. This life weapon has no way to communicate in the same way as an enchanted weapon, nor does it have any hints of showing its ability. The other party was like the most ordinary wooden shield, quietly placed in the corner. Feder began to wonder if he had chosen the wrong direction in the first place, and if he had too much hope for the weapon of life.
As for Russell's "resonators", it is impossible to talk about them, and they have left their hometown alone, and there are only a few people who can know and know him, but how can they die for their own selfish desires? Sacrifice to the weapon of life? Besides, they are not necessarily his own resonators, and even if they are, Phyll may not be able to bear to do so.
If this shield had been given to him by Russell for free, then perhaps he would not have been so distressed. But for people like themselves who are already resistant to responsibility and afraid of taking responsibility, this is like a disaster - the fear of commitment and responsibility is not because of the responsibility itself, but because such people value commitment and responsibility too much.
If this kind of person promises something, or makes a promise to someone, then they will be very concerned, and even if they do so will affect themselves, they must redeem the promise. That's one of the reasons why Phyll is afraid to promise and take responsibility, and that's all too clear to Phyll.
Since he promised to avenge Russell and kill the pillar priest of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment, he had to do it himself. However, his current strength is limited, and it is impossible to directly find the mercenary union and then declare war on them head-on. The only way is to continue to strengthen the strength of the potato mercenary group in the future, and only in this way can there be a chance to defeat the other party - Russell once warned himself not to try to assassinate the pillar priest, and this must have a reason for the other party. And because he has fought with the mercenary group of the mercenary union three times, it is estimated that in the future, he will become a thorn in the side of the mercenary union, and maybe the Holy Spirit mercenary group will automatically find the door.
As for how to strengthen his mercenary group, Fei De has already thought of many ways - even taking the initiative to apply to join the mercenary union.
The idea came to me the other day. Fei De heard from other mercenary groups in the mercenary house that due to the extinction of the original nine mercenary groups and the death of the leader James in battle, the mercenary union has begun to select mercenary groups and leaders who can fill the position of the magic eye mercenary group. It's just that after almost a year, the mercenary union has not found a suitable mercenary group.
Although the mercenary union only has nine mercenary groups, the tentacles of their power have touched all parts of the mainland, and many small and medium-sized mercenary groups obey these nine mercenary groups. Except for particularly large independent mercenary groups such as the Moon Shield Mercenary Group, or particularly local mercenary groups, the influence of the Mercenary Guild can affect all mercenaries on the mainland. The mercenary group that has been selected to become a mercenary union is not only a symbol of strength, but also can use it as a ladder to grab the resources of the union to greatly improve its own strength.
But as soon as Feide's idea appeared, he dispelled it himself, and it was too late for the mercenary union to eliminate him, how could he let the potato mercenary group be among them.
After more than half a month of thinking, the only way that Fei De thought of was to find an opportunity.
The so-called search for opportunities is opportunities like the Battle of Doret and the Civil War of the Oguna Empire. There are many opportunities in such a war, and it is also the best way for some capable people to rise. At the beginning, the Moon Shield mercenary group only regained its glory after the battle of Dry Sand City, and its own mercenary group also became famous in the Battle of Doret. Looking back now, I'm really grateful for the experience that helped me build momentum.
Fed looked at the map of the continent, and if what Egger said was true, then a terrible conspiracy was brewing in his homeland. And across the continent, with the exception of the Kingdom of Sahlins, the three principalities are where such opportunities are most likely to occur.
