Chapter 116 Transporting Grain to the Front
When Fentry returned to his residence, the captains asked if there was any punishment for the church, after all, the archbishop seemed to attach great importance to his relationship with the Duke of Oldington, and the food reception team had only captured a little baron, and there was a great tendency to ask the teacher for the crime.
"We may soon have to move to continue delivering food to the southern front. β
All the captains looked at each other, only Marcus said loudly: "Lao Tzu has long been tired of looking down on those archbishops and knights in this papal state, aren't they just a bunch of idiots who can only eat and? If it weren't for us mercenaries to help them, it is estimated that they would not even dare to step out of the city wall!"
Someone immediately echoed Marcus, but Patrick, who was relatively calm, said, "Although I didn't follow you to receive that batch of food, it is a bit strange based on what you have encountered, and there may be some conspiracy behind it." β
"That's what I thought," Feder nodded, "but we'd better pack our bags and get ready to go, and take everything with us." Avi and Patrick, you can report back to me about your mission in a moment. In the time that followed, the Potato Mercenary Regiment began to pack their belongings, and Ayana threw the enchanted weapon, the Sun, to Nur and let him carry it. Reeves was responsible for informing the more than 200 mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment that they had no time to rest and were ready to deliver food to the southern front.
The Knights of the Church, sent by the Pope and the Archbishop, also handed over the mission documents to Fed, ordering him to deliver the grain to Captain Satnam within ten days, and as for when the potato mercenaries would depart, it was their own business. In addition, there were two other mercenary groups that set off with the potato mercenary group, each of them with 500 people, and were responsible for transporting some other supplies to the front-line soldiers.
Before leaving the Holy Light City, Avi specially said goodbye to the father of the female knight captain Sarina. Patrick also went to the church to see the Gerhardt son, but the other party remained the same as at the beginning, not saying a word. Instead, Phyll found the leader of the Tearing Mercenary Regiment, Sharp Claw, and said goodbye to him.
"You kid, you're going to break into the outside world!" "Sharp Claw" is still the same, after he returned from the Riverland area, he has been busy with other mercenary tasks, but judging by the tone, "Sharp Claw" is still quite optimistic about Field.
"The head of the church helped me with so many things during my days in the church union, so I must say thank you. From the bottom of his heart, Fielder thanked "Sharp Claw", the original stereotype of terrible and fierce has long since changed, with sharp claws on his arms, and the villain who likes to tear human bodies apart is not actually a bad person.
"Hey, don't talk about this uselessness," Sharppaw said with a dry laugh, "but I advise you not to come back here, the guys here are very ambitious. β
When Fei De heard the other party say this, he casually asked, "I don't know why Your Excellency the Head of the Regiment is with the Archbishop, who is your brother."
"Don't ask. β
Once everything was settled, Fed led the Potato Mercenary Regiment and two other regiments of 500 men to the south. According to the map, if you march quickly, it will only take seven days to reach the capital of the Western Ancient Empire, Doret City. However, since it has been heard that the mercenaries hired by the East Oguna Empire have infiltrated many of the cities behind Doret City, it is very likely that they will encounter the enemy before they reach Doret City.
The information sent to him from the knights of the Church also informed Fidel that reinforcements from the Papal States were stationed in a town southwest of the city of Doret called Amy's Country. The southern part of the Land of Aimy was already the front line, and many cities in the south were under siege, and many lords' castles loyal to the Theoguna Empire were isolated, which shows that the signs of the defeat of the Theoguna Empire are so terrible.
The outcome of Avi's mission satisfied Fidel, after all, that terrible long-armed monster was not something that ordinary people could deal with, and if it weren't for the appearance of those soldiers from the Kingdom of Salins, that monster would have been captured. Avi, of course, did not inform Fidel about Wolfgang. And the defeat on Patrick's side was not blamed by Fidel, after all, in this mercenary era, people are unpredictable, and no one knows when the seemingly loyal guy next to you will suddenly stab you in the back.
Halfway through, Warden Reeves told Fid about the report of some of the wounded in the mercenary group. Now among the squadron leaders, the Marcus brothers, Patrick, and Avi are all injured, and it takes a while for Avina to break his arm and move freely. As for the squad leader, Leonard also suffered some external injuries when fighting horse thieves. In addition to the captain, out of a total of 283 potato mercenary groups, 30 people were seriously injured, so they temporarily stayed in the Holy Light City for treatment. Fifty-one people have injuries and injuries, but not all of them are still in the squad. What is certain is that the combat effectiveness of the potato mercenary group is not strong now, and it may not even be able to defeat the two miscellaneous mercenary groups that follow behind.
Fide told Reeves that they were only responsible for transporting food this time, and even if they were to be under the command of the Knights of the Church, they should not be sent to the front line to fight the regular army of the East Oguna Empire, so there was no need to worry too much about the wounded for the time being. In addition, since Reeves had brought a lot of gold coins before, the Potato Mercenary Regiment now had sufficient funds, even if it was an option to deliver food to Satnam, and then leave the Knights of the Church on their own and not return to the Holy Light City.
The Marcus brothers insisted that they should no longer work for the Papal States, believing that neither Archbishop Arthur Auerbach nor the Pope were wise rulers, and that staying there would only be a waste of time for the Potato Mercenaries. Moreover, the two powerful figures are still fighting openly and secretly, which is not suitable for the development of their own mercenary group.
Fidel had thought about it, and he and the other squadron leaders had discussed whether they should change their base. When they were in the Rock Thieves, Nangus recommended their mercenary group of only a dozen people to go to the Holy Light City, but they didn't expect that this Papal State, which seemed to be bright and rich, had so many unbearable insiders. Perhaps being sent out of the Holy Light City this time is also an opportunity to give yourself a choice. Moreover, the potato mercenary group was established with only two goals, the first was to grow this mercenary group, and then fulfill his promise to Russell - to avenge him, and the second was to borrow the potato mercenary group to prove to his father that he could take a completely different path from him.
A breakthrough must be found, not a waste of time. After thinking about it for a few things, Fidel finally made up his mind that after the food was delivered to Satnam and Rassad, he would leave the Holy Light City completely, which could be regarded as a beginning and an end.
Eight days later, the Potato Mercenaries and the two other mercenaries who had been sent had arrived not far north of Le MΓ©ridien's Country. They didn't encounter any enemies along the way, and they were worried that some guerrilla supply line enemy would sneak up on them, but this vast area of land found nothing but refugees fleeing to the north.
At this moment a group of knights appeared from the direction of the land of Amy Amy, "It's Rashad." Ayana whispered in Fidel's ear. It took him a minute to see that he was a knight of the Church Order, and it seemed that Ayana's eyesight was really good. He immediately ordered all the baggage processions to stop and greet the deputy head of the Order, Rashad.
"Fed, how could it be that you were sent to deliver food?" The young and handsome Rashad had not seen him for many days, and the armor on his body had some marks of being beaten, and it was estimated that he had participated in many fierce battles.
"The Pope sent me. β
"Oh," Rashad dismounted, walking towards Fidel, "By the way, was Captain Sharpclaw okay when you left the City of Light?" he asked suddenly.
"It's fine. β
"That's good, then I'm relieved. β
