While Fid and Ayana were hiding in the chimney, the rest of the Potato Mercenaries had changed into cloaks to protect them from the rain and were ready to walk in the direction of the Church Knights' camp.

"Just stay here," Marcus pointed to Leonard, Hughes, Luca, Franklin, Noor, and Fan, all of whom were squad leaders, "and we'll be fine." With that, Marcus One-Eyed glanced at the people beside him who had changed into cloaks: Avi, his brother Matthews, Patrick, Greif, and Cash. In fact, Marcus has always felt that if the potato mercenary group had an actual leader, he should be able to sit in the position of deputy leader. Whether it is in terms of seniority and combat strength, he is a well-deserved second leader, and now that Avi is missing, it is natural that he should bear all this - Avi impersonated Fielder just now, but this does not mean that this young man can really replace Field, and in Marcus's heart, he also has some dissatisfaction and contempt for the young Avi to serve as the leader of the cavalry squadron.

"I think my sister and I should stay here too, it doesn't look safe from the outside. Greif said as he put his hands on his chest and looked at the rain outside.

"No!" said Koss, not giving a real reason, "that Satnam, the head of the Knights of the Church, only knows me and Fed, so I have to go." "Instead of sitting in the house and spending this rainy night, it is better to go to the camp of the Knights and discuss the countermeasures together. If the army blocked outside the city really wanted to attack the Holy Light City tonight, they might be able to react the fastest in the barracks.

Greif didn't expect Miss Duchess to be so resolute, he didn't say much, and Greif also saw the composure in Coss's eyes, it seems that this mercenary's journey has changed her a lot.

The others had no objections, but Hughes offered to go with him, "I'm still familiar with the Holy Light City, if there is any special situation, you can send me to gather our subordinates." The subordinates he was referring to were the hundred-man mercenaries recruited by the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and most of them lived in the mercenary quarters rented by Fidel.

Marcus was still hesitating, and his younger brother Matthews had already shouted, "Big brother! That makes sense! Who knows if it will change tonight? Big brother, do you remember being at the Pool Castle..."

Matthews didn't finish his sentence, and Marcus made the decision to let Hughes follow them on horseback, and when he arrived at the camp of the Knights of the Church, he waited outside the camp.

Avi offered to have his squad leader Luca patrol outside the house, and if he came across the returning deputy head of the regiment, Fidel, he would immediately ride to the barracks of the Church Knights and report to them. When everything was settled, they opened the door, put on their hoods, and headed out into the stormy world.

They had not gone far before a patrol of light cavalry galloped past them, making a splash in the direction of the west gate. But they didn't complain much, after all, even if they didn't get wet with the splash, they would get wet from the rain that didn't see the light of day.

At this moment, Avi looked up slightly in the direction of the castle of the Holy Light City, and found that some white smoke came out of the highest part of the castle, a bit like a signal smoke to send a message in the distance. Although the pure white smoke was covered by darkness and heavy rain, it was still clear that the smoke was drifting into the sky, and it was estimated that it could be seen clearly from the city wall.

"What does that mean?" asked Koth, who was walking behind Avi.

"It's signal smoke, probably for people outside the city," Marcus said, glancing up, "but I don't know if it was for the enemy forces outside the city or the Papal States' armed forces in the countryside." ”

"If the smoke was meant to send a message to the enemy forces outside the city, doesn't that mean that there are enemies in the city as well?!" Kelth looked horrified as she asked, remembering that this had happened before in Wintertown, the capital of the Duchy of Dramain. The city gate was opened by the rebels, and they were almost killed by the rebels into the palace. Fortunately, the timely rescue of reinforcements from other cities, coupled with the desperate protection of the guards in the city, did not let the bad guys succeed.

The others were silent, and they had no bottom in their hearts, and now they could only hope that they would be able to defend the city gates tonight, and that they would not have to engage in terrible street fighting in such harsh conditions and weather.

The group stepped up their pace, and soon arrived at the barracks of the Knights of the Church. There were many knights coming and going inside and outside the barracks, some of them riding their horses and running outside the barracks, while others were galloping outside and almost falling into the mud.

Then a knight-like figure approached and blocked their way, "Who are you?"

"We are... The Chief Mercenary Regiment, the leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, has been invited to meet Captain Satnam!" Avi didn't dare to report Field's name.

"Quick!" the knight chief pointed in one direction, "go to that big tent over there, everyone is waiting!"

Everybody was waiting? What does that mean? The crowd didn't understand, but they didn't stand there either, and immediately went in the direction of the tent.

Marcus was the first to enter the tent, and there was indeed "everyone" inside. ”

The head of the Order, Satnam, the deputy head of the Order, and the chief knights, Kiro and Riley, all stood at a long table filled with sand, which was also specially piled up to mock the City of Light, and on the side were small flags representing the army. In addition to these two people, the main mercenary group leaders of the Church Alliance are all there, including "Sharp Claw". Most surprisingly, Archbishop Arthur Auerbach was also sitting at the back of the long table, watching intently as the others swung the molds

"You're here! Deputy Head of Field, come with me..."Riley was the first to come over, and the Fielder he had expected to see was not among them.

Satnam, the Archbishop, and Sharp Paw all looked at the group of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and when they saw Kleth, they immediately continued to look for the deputy head of the group, Fidel, but they quickly confirmed one thing - Fidel did not come.

Kesi resolutely walked to the archbishop and the head of the regiment, Satnam, and whispered, "Deputy Master Fede has drunk a lot of wine tonight, and he can't wake up no matter how much he screams, and he is still sleeping soundly in the house we rented. ”

Everyone who heard it nodded slightly in understanding, after all, the people here who knew Kesi's true identity were very satisfied to see Kesi standing in the tent.

Avi and the others saw that Kesi had relieved Fid with a word, and their hearts were both admired and happy, as long as they believed Kesi's words, Fidel's suspicion could be cleared - after all, no one knew if there was really an enemy army lurking outside the city in the Holy Light City.

Satnam walked over to the group of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, he looked at Koth and said, "The situation is like this, those troops outside the city are at least 30,000 people, it is not clear which country's troops, but one thing is for sure, this army is a well-equipped regular army!"

Everyone in the Potato Mercenary Regiment looked at each other, they originally reserved a little hope for the situation outside, but now it seems that there is really a large army pressing the territory and attacking the city.

"Can't you see their flag?" Greif asked the regimental commander.

"I can't see it, this army deliberately doesn't have a shield with a flag and an obvious badge mark, and the weather is so bad now, it can't be done if you want to see clearly what kind of troops and weapons the other party has!" Sathenam crossed his waist with one hand, pressed his hair with the other, and glanced at Kesi a few times, as if the girl in front of him was the reason for these troops' attack.

"Even with an army of 30,000 men, it's impossible to storm the City of Light on a pouring night, right?

"That's right, if it's just 30,000 people, it's really unlikely that they will attack our territory," Rashad changed into a set of white plate armor and a light yellow cloak, and the young deputy head looked a little more heroic, "It's just that now there are intruders in the castle where the Pope is located, and some guys of unknown origin have attacked the castle through the secret passage, and it is very likely that they have already exchanged hands with the Pope's personal guards." ”

The people of the Potato Mercenary Group were startled at first, and then immediately remembered the vanished Fidel and Ayana. Patrick, in particular, knew that Ayana and Feder were both heading in the direction of the Religious Castle, but he didn't expect that the rebels this time had something to do with the two of them.

"The origin is unknown, hehe, I think the history is clear!" The leader of the tearing mercenary group, "Sharp Claw", suddenly flashed over and sarcastically said to the side.

"What do you mean?!" asked Satnam.

"Someone knows very well that who can let a group of people attack the castle and then keep saying that the origin is unknown?" said "Sharp Claw" at this point and turned his eyes on his brother Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, but the archbishop ignored his brother's gaze, and he was still listening carefully to the analysis of the knight captain Kiro and the servant mercenary head Arturas.

Ignoring Sharpclaw's cynicism, Satnam continued to say to Koth and the others, "Those unknown people have occupied the top and lower floors of the castle, and have controlled the gate to the middle floor of the castle, even if our Church Knights want to take back control of the city gate, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it in a moment. And we don't know if the enemies of unknown origin wanted to assassinate the Pope or Amsol, the second prince of Sahlins. ”

Now Keth is really worried about Fed's safety, she knows that Feder will never attack the Pope and Ammeh, but the girl who behaves strangely and has a withdrawn temperament is difficult to say.

"Hehe, how could those people attack Amme?" "Sharpclaw" interjected again, "They must have been lurking in the City of Light for a long time, just tonight!, but I can see that the guys who control the castle are not the same as the guys outside the city, because the forces in other places are not capable of keeping so many assassins in this city, am I right, Captain Satnam?"
