Chapter 107 Receiving the Grain Team
After finishing the mercenary training of the Potato Mercenary Group, Fei De personally handed over the document of the mercenary mission to Avi and Fan, and told the two of them the content of the search mission.
"That northern mountain area is a forested mountainous area, and although the area is large, your target is only one person. Fed said.
Avi: "Why did you send me and Fan?"
"And Lukka and your cavalry squadron, although it is mountainous, but to search for a person in the forest, it is better to have a horse than no horse," Fide said this, patting Fan on the shoulder, "You also try to assist Captain Avi, that target has a lot of dangers, I believe you can protect yourself." ”
Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then why don't you let Ayana go, she's a hunter born and raised in the forest." ”
"If she's not with me, I'm not at ease. ”
"Okay, okay, is there anything else you need to tell us?" Fan replied casually.
"I heard that an unknown number of people from the Kingdom of Sarins have been in that mountain forest for several days, if you run into them, try not to have a conflict, and if the other party takes the initiative to attack you, then send someone to inform the archbishop first. With that, Feder turned and left.
Avi noticed that the reward for the mission was only three hundred gold coins, which was a small amount of reward, but the target of the mission was just a strange man who had escaped into the mountains and forests, and it should not be difficult. The strange place is that those people from the Kingdom of Sarins who entered the mountains and forests, could it be that this person who fled into the mountains and forests is a fugitive?
Subsequently, under Avi's orders, Lukka assembled a cavalry squadron of more than sixty men.
"Listen, this is our squadron leader Avi. Lukka introduced them loudly. The mercenaries who had newly joined the Potato Mercenary Regiment looked at them curiously, they didn't expect their squadron leader to be so young and thin, looking like a country boy who had just stepped out of the mountains. Some of the experienced mercenaries began to whisper, but there were also some sharp-eyed mercenaries who could see that the young squadron leader, who was not yet nineteen years old, was a sharp guy.
"Hello everyone, I'm Avi, and the next task of searching for criminals needs everyone to work together to complete, and Captain Luca will be in charge of your training during this time. For the first time, Avi said these words so seriously. He wasn't used to wearing heavy armor, and the golden shield didn't come out, except for a quenched knight's sword at his waist, which was not much different from the pedestrians on the road. Such a look and an unskilful speech obviously did not establish prestige, so the rest of the words were left to Luka, who was relatively experienced.
On the way back, Fan asked, "Hey, can I not go, just a fugitive worth 300 yuan." ”
"Let's go, the mercenary mission says this person has strange powers, and you don't want to see me torn in two, right?" Avi joked.
Over the next few days, Avi served as squadron leader and assisted Luca in the training of the cavalry squadron. He tried to tell his new subordinates everything Eddie had taught him, and some guys were not convinced and wanted to challenge Avi. It's just that the squad leader Luca stepped forward and taught these guys a lesson, and Avi found out that Luca's fighting skills were also very good.
With the captains of Ayana, the Marcus brothers, and Noor, Fid led a hundred and fifty men and began to march towards the borders of the Duchy of Noo. The archbishop ordered Riley, the chief knight, to lead thirty knights of the Church with them, and the clearance document Riley held in his hand was the most important. It stands to reason that whether it is the route of the Duchy of Mageni or the route of the Duchy of Delaman, this document can allow everyone to pass, and now they are worried that the other party will investigate and deal with the food sent by the Duchy of Noao and be blocked.
Riley reminds Fidel in particular, telling him not to offend the border soldiers of the two principalities, who are nothing more than uncivilized aliens and barbarians in the eyes of many principalities, whether they are other kingdoms, republics, or empires. There were quite a few regular armies in the principalities who also looked down on them as a bunch of godlike and ignorant fools.
The nobleman Gerhardt, who had fled from the East Oguna Empire, was also under the protection of Patrick and slowly marched towards the kingdom of Salins. Patrick offered to bring only ten Potato Mercenary Corps mercenaries to reduce the chance of being attacked. The guy named Gerhardt recognized Patrick as a Yum fighter in the City of Honor in the Republic of Marvier, and he and his family immediately let go of their suspense and obeyed the masked champion fighter. Patrick tells Fid that he plans to go a little south and then west, so that he can only run into the likes of the Bandits.
After discussing with Riley, Fidel decided to follow the route of the Duchy of Dramain and move towards the Duchy of Nuo, because the relationship between the Duchy of Delamain and the Papal States was relatively better.
"The food sent by the Duke of Oldington this time is enough for more than 10,000 soldiers on the front line to feed for a month, which can be regarded as a generous gift!" Riley had long since found out that Kesi was no longer in the Potato Mercenary Regiment, but his attitude towards Fielder was quite friendly.
"What dangers might you encounter along the way?" asked Marcus, who was on foot, looking up at Riley on his horse. Although the Church Knights rode horses, and Fed and his men were on foot, the Church Knights had long since learned how to move in tandem with their infantry companions, so the team that received the food was able to maintain a good speed overall.
"The dangerous thing is probably the hostility of the other two principalities towards the Duchy of Nou," Riley took a document from his bosom, "The archbishop told me that the food convoy of the Duchy of Noao has reached the border town between the three kingdoms, led by a baron named Ethan. ”
Fidel nodded, they were now within Dlaman's borders. When he encountered a patrol who came forward to inquire, Riley's release slip was able to get them to leave. Later, on the second day after entering the Duchy of Deramain, the local lord came to receive him in person, and a banquet was held in the local town to entertain Fidel and Riley as a sign of respect for Archbishop Arthur Auerbach. Fed also saw the fame of Archbishop Arthur Auerbach in the Duchy, and the lords, though secretly disdainful of mercenaries and church knights, spoke of the archbishop with respect. There were also nobles who stuffed treasures into the hands of the chief knight Riley, saying that it was a gift to the archbishop.
Within a few days, the caravan carrying the grain had reached the border between the Duchy of Noor and the Duchy of Delaman, and Fed suddenly remembered Coss. Perhaps she had returned to the Duchy of Deramain, enjoying the treatment of the Duke's daughter, and living happily with Prince Walter
Just as he was thinking about things, a team suddenly appeared in the distance.
All of these oncoming men covered their faces with cloths, and their horses under their crotches were very athletic, and the men on the horses held long curved knives in their hands and did not carry shields. And judging from the clothes and decorations on their bodies, they look very much like horse thieves! They are numerous, about hundreds, and if it is a horse thief group, it can be regarded as a large one.
Knight Chief Riley immediately dispersed all the Church Knights to avoid being hurt by the onslaught of enemy cavalry. Feder also scattered his more than 100 men, and the mercenaries with bows and crossbows stepped forward, ready to meet the enemy at any time.
"We don't have any food, what are they going to rob!" Nur was very puzzled by the thief-turned-thief, they were a combination of mercenary regiment and knight order, and they didn't have much wealth on their bodies, why were they targeted by horse thieves?
But at the same time, from the western plain, another army appeared approaching them!
