Chapter 103: A Lot of Money

Lord Martin, who was standing behind the crowd, only listened to two sentences, and then felt that he was not interested in continuing to listen, and turned around and walked towards the castle between the rivers. Before leaving, he handed over to Fidel a peace agreement that Hollis wanted to sign with Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, "This agreement has been signed by me, you can hand him over to the archbishop." It turned out that he had only verbally reached a peace agreement with Rashad before.

Knight Chief Kiro shook his head silently, and then asked his subordinates to hand over the vacant horses to Selena's men, intending to return to the camp of the Church Knights first to talk about other things.

It was almost noon before Fei De and his party returned to the city of the road, where there were still the knights and mercenaries of the Church who had not yet retreated to the Holy Light City. However, most of them were soldiers who were seriously injured and could not move for the time being. The civilians of the Interriver region had been informed of the peace agreement between the Papal States and the lords of the Interriver Castle, and knew that for a while, they would not have to worry about war.

However, when he returned to the council hall, what Kiro said worried everyone who had just escaped from prison.

"The day after you were captured, the regent of the Holy Oguna Empire, Shumo, sent a letter to the Archbishop, who was still in the city of Crefeld at the time, asking the Papal States to allocate some soldiers as reinforcements. Kiro said as he drank from his glass.

"Isn't it normal for the Archbishop to send reinforcements since it is an ally, and why is it said that the archbishop is the power of the crowd?" The chief knight Selena is a knight loyal to Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, and she also knows that the archbishop is very prestigious in the papal state, even more powerful than the pope.

Kiro shook his head, "Originally, this was the case, but in this battle between the rivers, we not only suffered a lot of vitality, but also did not gain an inch of land, in this case, except for the most loyal faith warriors to the archbishop, the mercenary group and the infantry of the Kingdom of Salins no longer support the next military operation." Coupled with the problem of food and the opposition of the Pope, even the leaders of the mercenary regiments who were on the side of the archbishop began to hesitate because of the fate of Arturas and Jennifer. ”

"Even the reinforcements of Sahlins"

"That's right, that Guillermo has already returned to the Kingdom of Sallins with his troops, and it seems that they do not plan to sign the Triple Alliance with the Theoguna Empire. ”

Knight Captain Kiro actually wanted to say that many mercenary group leaders had defected to the Pope's side, but he didn't say this openly in front of Fidel.

"But reinforcements were sent. Fed said.

Kiro agreed, "That's right, the archbishop has sent 10,000 church fighters and 1,000 church knights to the city of Doret in the Western Oguna Empire, under the command of the regimental commander Satnam and the deputy regimental leader Rashad. ”

Unexpectedly, Rashad actually left the Holy Light City, and it seemed that it would take some time to meet the other party. Fidel thought in his heart that he would have to wait until the other party came back to ask a question.

The current situation was also told by Kiro to the people who had been imprisoned for three days. The Papal States had withdrawn all their forces from the Transovana region, and the Eastern Oguna Empire's reinforcements had been sent back to the eastern territory by Lord Martin. I heard that Lord Martin had succeeded Viscount Hollis and was now Viscount Martin, and the news came back from the Papal States agents in Glynco, in order to stabilize the Riverland region.

It is rumored that the rulers of Glynko heard that Juan and Hollis, the commanders of the reinforcements, had killed each other due to a dispute, and that the reinforcements had been defeated, so the establishment led by Prime Minister Hollow intended to abandon the Transoxian. Instead, he used the "Succession Title" to envelop Martin, so that the few remaining nobles in the Riverland could continue to be friendly with the East Oguna Empire, just like the Golden Hoof City in the West. As for the governance of the River, it was all in the hands of Martin, and he signed an agreement with the Papal States, and Glyncoe no longer cared about it.

It is also rumored that Lady Purple, the wife of the Duke of Pobo, who was far away in the southern part of the empire, was so angry and sad that she offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins for Martin's head, believing that he had murdered his son with his uncle Hollis. But this rumor is really just a rumor, and no one can confirm it.

"By the way, what happened to the Knights' Mercenary Regiment?" Rashad and the Archbishop knew that they were," the chief knight remembered that she was almost killed by Marvin.

"Those guys from the Mercenary Guild have long since fled and disappeared without a trace, what a bunch of lackeys!" Kiro scolded, "That night, I heard that Deputy Head of the Rashad had already sent people to monitor the outside of the secret passage, but I didn't expect His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment to suddenly appear and kill all of our people." Since that night, there has been no news about Malvern!"

Kiro didn't mention the Life Weapon, and Fidel guessed that he might have only known about their surprise attack on Rivercastle from the secret passage, and didn't know that Rashad was really targeting the crossbow.

"Those members of the mercenary union who were originally entrenched in the Holy Light City have also disappeared without a trace! We really believe the wrong person this time! I still wanted Malven to be" Kiro said this, glancing at Fidel, although the other party's face was expressionless, but he still didn't say anything.

At this time, from outside the council hall, several people ran in, it was Marcus and them. Noor and Luka had also returned from the City of Light, and when they heard the news that the fate of the four Fid was uncertain, they all rushed back to the Riverside overnight, and now they were relieved to see that Fid and the others had returned safely.

Selena and Kiro saw the Potato Mercenaries walk in and planned to leave first. Before leaving, the female knight captain Selena told Avi to remember to look for her when she returned to the Holy Light City.

When the two knights were gone, Feder noticed that Reeves, who had been the chief warden under Andre, had also arrived, exactly as he had been - still a little bald and a little decadent.

"Is that Captain Fed?" Reeves stepped out of the crowd, he had already heard Marcus talk about the size of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and he knew most of the others except Ayana. What surprised him the most was that Patrick, the champion fighter of the Honor City Fighting Arena, actually stood by Feide's side.

Feder walked over quickly, he looked at the other party, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to respond: "It's me." ”

"Captain Field, Deputy Head Field, would you like to take me in?" Reeves asked Fielder with a serious expression. You must know that when Fidel was able to join the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, Reeves was opposed by Eddie, the leader of the cavalry squadron, but now it is the case that the middle-aged bald man made a request to Fidel.

Before Marcus could make a decision, Marcus immediately said: "Deputy Commander Field, don't think about it! Now we are lacking a military supervisor, and the appointment of the experienced Reeves as the military supervisor is definitely conducive to the formation of our mercenary group! You must know that those mercenary groups that have returned to the Holy Light City have already received a lot of compensation, and we will definitely be able to get more! If we want to expand the scale at that time, we will have to rely on Mr. Reeves!"

Fidel nodded, he knew that the position of superintendent was very important, and he could not hold it himself, and the other captains also had their own duties, so there was only one question for accepting Reeves - that is, whether the other party was really sincere and willing to join him. After all, Reeves came from the Moon Shield mercenary group controlled by Alain, if he still had contact with Alain

"As a sign of my sincerity, I transferred some of the property from the former Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment," Reeves pulled out a document from his trouser pocket, on which was the information of a bank, "Although the money in this is not much, it is enough for a mercenary group that is just starting up." This can be regarded as a little bit of reward for Andre to me, a useless middle-aged man!"

The other captains crowded over to see how much money Reeves had brought.

"Fifty thousand gold coins in total!" Reeves said loudly as he opened the file.
