Newt had sent a letter when Fett had just returned to Dutim City, but when Fett agreed to meet Newt in the evening, it had been five days since the potato mercenary group was ambushed by the plains, and the badly injured potato mercenary group had a lot of things to deal with with by Fed, so the time when Fett agreed to go to the meeting was also delayed a lot.

The Potato Mercenary Regiment lost a total of more than 600 mercenaries, many of them were cavalry elites who had just been trained for less than a month, and there were 700 seriously injured and lightly wounded, and only more than 500 people were able to escape with their whole body, most of them were the crossbowmen subordinates of the Jasmine Squadron Leader, but their captain's injuries were very serious, even if the crossbowmen squadron did not lose many brothers, they were not happy.

Jasmine was the only one of the injured captains still recuperating in the hospital, and she was now living in the next room to Ayana, but she was awake, but the arrow that hit her waist damaged her internal organs, and if she missed a little, it would have killed her. Rigu was surprised to see where the arrow had hit, and was surprised that Jasmine had brushed shoulders with death, but even if Jasmine was lucky, she would need at least twenty days to recuperate before she could get out of bed. Several other captains had injuries of varying degrees, and although Nur had many more scars, he had a strong recovery ability, and a large piece of flesh that had been cut off from his arm was also rapidly recovering, and within a few days, he returned to Fidel's side and continued to work as a guard.

Winotki was the only captain to charge into the enemy line without being injured, she claimed to have killed thirty enemy mercenaries, her snake club was nimble and her gold shield protected her back, so in the chaos of the battlefield, not many people noticed that this girl was faster than a snake.

Feder gave the captains a few days off, and he didn't rush to an internal meeting, just to calm everyone's mood first. At the same time, Fidel asked Reeves to take out a large amount of gold from the coffers, and rewarded the captains heavily, as well as giving bonuses to all his subordinates. The dead mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment were brought back to Dumu City for burial, and Lord Herman personally brought representatives from all walks of life to mourn these mercenaries and watch the burial ceremony of hundreds of mercenary corpses. This behavior made some civilians in Dutim City very dissatisfied, and they even came to the area around the cemetery to protest loudly, shouting and scolding, they still did not forget the "evil deeds" of the potato mercenary group.

Of course, Fidel knew that Herman was sent by Count Endrida in order to win the hearts of the people, after all, after this battle, the large number of Oak mercenaries was defeated by the potato mercenaries on the plains. The potato mercenary group became even more popular, and all regions of the Principality of Mageni knew about it and threw olive branches to Fidel. Feder did not respond to the "recruitment" of the lords of the other regions, he only revealed a message to the lords of various places according to Vittorio's proposal - whoever caught Vaughn, the leader of the Oak Mercenary Regiment, Fed would personally go there to greet the other party, and at the same time interrogate why the Oak Mercenary Regiment, which had no grudge against the Potato Mercenary Regiment, attacked them.

None of the captured mercenaries knew the intentions of their regimental commander, and even the captains of the regiment did not know anything. They only know that Vaughn is a very generous commander, and every time he completes a mercenary mission, he will give all the remuneration to his subordinates, so more and more weak but greedy guys join the Oak Mercenary Group, in order to get a piece of the pie, Vaughn will not choose his subordinates, as long as the male wants to join, he will be allowed to join. In addition, Vaughn is very comfortable in the area between the three countries, and he works for the regular armies and lords of the three countries at the same time without being hated, which is really rare.

"The bounties and pensions distributed are several times more than the honorarium sent by the House of Mercenaries," Reeves said to Fidel and the other captains while holding a report card, looking at the dense numbers on it, "These mission rewards should not have been given to us, and I don't know if the nobles of Dumu City commissioned the mercenary house to send them, and the mercenary house has not canceled the task of crusading against the thieves, it seems that we still need to find a time to deal with those thieves entrenched in the target location." ”

None of the others spoke, and Chief Inspector Reeves had always been on a case-by-case basis, and spending was the only thing he valued, so he didn't think too much about the current mood of the Potato Mercenary Regiment.

"Well, I see, this time we lost six hundred men, and I'll think about the mission of the Bandit Bandit before deciding when to make it. A thought had already crossed Philippe's mind.

"Commander, I think we should find out why the Oak Mercenary Regiment attacked us first!" Squadron Leader Selena tied up her blonde hair with a white headband, she didn't know that Fei De was going to question the secret agent teacher about it tonight, "I also saw a group of men and horses watching the battlefield from the south that day, I think things are definitely not that simple, the Oak Mercenary Group must be entrusted by someone!"

Luka's chest wound wasn't serious, "Squadron Leader Selena, did you find the rebels in the forest, or did you find anything suspicious?"

Selena thought for a moment and said, "I almost forgot, I saw a black eagle eagle hovering over my head, and then the eagle seemed to fly towards the group of soldiers watching the battlefield. ”

The captains who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Iron Ore Mountain Range were stunned, and they had already reacted. The black eagle owl was bred by the rebel cadre Clermont, and both the eagle and the rebel cadre Clermont were missing in the Iron Ore Mountains, and the mercenaries and regular soldiers did not find each other. If Selena is not mistaken, it seems that this ambush of the Oak Mercenary Group has nothing to do with the rebels.

"The rebels are in collusion with the mercenary group," Patrick muttered to himself. This champion gladiator was as invincible as the god of war in the battle five days ago, and now all the captains and mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment regard him as the strongest swordsman in the mercenary group, and everyone believes that only Fidel can make a draw with Patrick, and with him and Fidel, the Potato Mercenary Group will not lose any battle.

Fidel didn't say a word, and the internal meeting ended with a sad face. Vittorio, the deputy commander, was active in cleaning up the aftermath, and many of the Duchy who died on the battlefield were mostly new recruits who had just joined the Potato Mercenary Regiment. Vittorio personally went to each house to comfort each other's families, and also brought goodwill care and a generous pension, so that the potato mercenary group was forgiven by some civilians.

Now that the Potato Mercenary Regiment is hated by the Rebels and mysterious hostile forces, and the civilian population is disgusted inside, Fei De begins to feel tremendous pressure - the entire Mercenary Regiment is on his shoulders, and many brothers died in the last mission to the Iron Ore Mountains, and this time it has lost even more. Could all this be due to his obedience to the instructions of the Peace Grave Military Academy?

When Patrick escorted him to meet Newt, Fylde also opened up and told Patrick about his doubts. The champion fighter only gave an ambiguous answer - "If no one is offended, then no one can be trusted, and if we don't stand by all the time, then we will become real mercenaries." ”

A real mercenary? Aren't he real mercenaries now? Fed thinks back to the situation of the Oak Mercenary Group, why did Vaughn, a lone bounty hunter, form such a large mercenary group? And still have a lot of room to maneuver between the three countries? Does he stand or not?

In Fed's mind, mercenaries have always been defined as "neutral soldiers who collect money to do things", and as long as they accept the employment of the client, the mercenary group will stand by one side and then attack the client's enemies. But as long as the mission is over, then the mercenary group will no longer have any intimate relationship with the client, unless the client buys the mercenary's sword again at a high price. The same is true of the privileged mercenaries of the Oguna Empire, although they have been canonized as mercenary groups of different levels by the Oguna Empire, they still maintain a mercenary relationship with those lords and nobles, and if the remuneration is not in place one day, they will still turn their faces and deny people.

Only then did Feder realize that he had now fallen into a strange circle - he regarded the rebels as enemies, and wanted to do what should have been done for the nobles here, and he paid a lot of money. Such an act will only continue to weaken the strength of the Potato Mercenary Group, an independent mercenary group, and for the powerful principality nobles and rebel organizations, the Potato Mercenary Group really looks up to itself.

"A real mercenary should be paid to do things, and he should not set a position for himself. Fed thought for a long time before speaking to Patrick.

"That's exactly what I thought when I was a gladiator," Patrick pushed the mask, "but do we really want to be like the Oak Mercenary Regiment, when this kind of 'real mercenary' is the mercenary of the position?"

As soon as Feder cleared his mind a little, Patrick's rhetorical question made him feel a little overwhelmed. Feder recalls his intention of leaving his hometown, the day he left the Rock Thieves. He gradually discovered that he had only been using "becoming a mercenary" and "establishing a mercenary group" as his tools and means, and what he wanted was real power, the power to prove that his father's idea was wrong.

No matter which side he is on, Fei De just wants to make his mercenary group stronger, so that he can prove to his father that he can also choose another path, another way to change the world, and bring fairness and justice, happiness and peace to others, and he will not...

"You are too naïve, only by making the Kingdom of Salins strong, and only when the iron hooves of the kingdom set foot on the other capitals of the continent, will there be true fairness and justice, happiness and peace in the whole world... And you won't lose the people you love..."Faulkner's words suddenly popped up from the bottom of Field's memory, which he said to Fielder's father when his mother died, to himself who was crying.
