Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 33 The Coalition Assembly (I)

"Hey, Avi, how do you think my mustache is trimmed?" Hughes, the twenty-eight-year-old cavalry leader, came from a distance and stood beside Avi, a large hand around Avi's shoulder, as if he were chatting with his brother.

"Captain Hughes!

"Hey, that's good, by the way, would you like to have another drink with me tonight?" Hughes said loudly, ignoring the other squadron leaders' glances.

Avi was still a little dizzy, his limbs were sore, he had drunk too much last night. In the past, when he was in Golden Hoof City, his mother Joni didn't allow him to drink alcohol, but he learned to drink a little after becoming a mercenary.

This man with short hair and a small beard trimmed on his chin had been active since he became the leader of the cavalry squad, and if it weren't for the fact that the rented house didn't have enough room, he would have mingled with everyone a long time ago. Today was the first time Hughes and Feder had gone to a group event, a large meeting of the Church League, and the eighteen-year-old Avi was in charge of leading him.

Hughes, who was ten years older than him, did not despise Avi because of his age, but treated him like a close buddy. This has something to do with the ethos of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, where captains rarely show superior-subordinate relationships, and even the deputy head of the regiment, Fidel, doesn't feel any resentment because of the fights of his subordinates - and certainly doesn't get along with other people.

Yesterday was the day before the meeting, everything in the Potato Mercenary Regiment had been taken care of, and the training of the recruits was well underway. Marcus told Fidel that training is something that can neither be done overnight nor end one day, and that each training will allow mercenaries to have more tacit understanding and experience, which is a thing with no upper limit.

Feder has also seen the results of his training in the past few days, many of the mercenaries who have just joined look young, and many of them are those who want to join the Knights of the Church or the clergy of the Church have failed, and they have all been recommended to the Potato Mercenary Regiment by the Knight Captain Riley.

Many mercenaries who have joined the mercenary group have expressed their hope that they can make enough money in the mercenary group and then go home to marry and have children. This kind of thought made Feide, who had just turned twenty, feel a little embarrassed, and when he was in Honor City half a year ago to help recruit new recruits, those who had just become mercenaries also had this idea, but those who had been mercenaries for several years had not talked about it. Maybe for these "seniors", they have forgotten what they joined the mercenary group for, and what will the future become?

Looking at those energetic faces, Feder began to think about whether he could bring something to these mercenaries, such as hope?

Last night, under Hughes's leadership, several captains were dragged by him to the tavern for a drink—except for the eccentric and withdrawn guys.

Hughes wasn't a local either, but he was already familiar with the entertainment scene when he first arrived in the City of Light, especially the taverns. As soon as he entered the tavern, Hughes chatted with the owner as if two old friends were brothers and sisters. This also caused the boss to take out the best wine for the group of potato mercenary groups, and each captain poured a lot of wine and got drunk.

When leaving, people like Avi and Leonard, who couldn't drink much, were carried away, and Hughes paid the bill alone, and even Marcus was a little embarrassed.

Fed didn't attend the party, and now spends every night with his enchanted weapon. He had been trying to control the "silence" last night, and it was clear that the enchanted sword was easier to "understand". He tried the method Patrick taught, and got an immediate response.

This enchanted sword has only one layer of enchantment, and judging from the effect that Andre said, when it attacks other enchanted weapons, the other enchanted weapons will be temporarily disabled. Fed had never tried to use it against other enchanted weapons, and he didn't dare to use Black Flash as a test subject. Even so, Fidel was able to begin to master the enchantment effect that controlled the "silence". When he picked up the sword, he could feel the enchantment of the sword surging through the sword, and when he wanted to "turn off" the magic power, he only needed to control it with his sincere mind. This method worked at odds, and on several occasions Fed could feel Silence lose that layer of enchantment for a split second, but sometimes it didn't work at all. Overall, it was a bit rewarding, at least he knew that Patrick's "perceptual method" was effective.

It's just that no matter how well you control the enchantment practice, you have to put the practice aside first, because there are more important things to do today. Feder had already foreseen what would happen next—their potato mercenary group would be looked down upon by the other thirty or so mercenary groups, but the Knights of the Church and the Archbishop would give face to Kesi's identity. This situation is the most ideal, because being looked down upon can make a blockbuster, and Fei De is confident in his own abilities and that of his subordinates, and he believes that the Potato Mercenary Group will not be worse than the other Mercenary Groups.

And he had also anticipated the tasks that might be assigned to him. The number of the potato mercenary group is only a hundred, and the most likely mission is to scout. After all, in the face of a big empire, with more than 30 mercenary groups and more than 30,000 church armies, it is absolutely impossible to knock down the other party, this time the church alliance is mainly from the side, and the frontal battlefield is estimated to be something that the West Oguna Empire will face.

As he thought about it, Feder led the captains towards the meeting place, the east of the Holy Light City. This time neither Avi nor Hughes rode horses, because it was a meeting and there was no need to get there first. They walked along the main road in the direction of the meeting, but many of the mercenaries along the way were rushing in that direction, and it seemed that they should be the mercenaries of the mercenary group who participated in the meeting.

"Are your mercenaries going too?" asked Avi to Fiddle.

"They didn't seem to explain it, so I think it's okay for us captains to go. Noor replied in place of Fid.

Fidel nodded, he noticed that the blue-background vulture flag that had torn the mercenary group appeared in the hands of a group of mercenaries, and that group of mercenaries were all gathered on the side of the road, and more and more mercenaries from the torn mercenary group appeared there.

"That guy didn't seem to want to join the Church Alliance last time, why did he come back?" Greif saw that the weapons in the mercenaries' hands were very sharp, and it was easy to cut things open.

No one in the Potato Mercenary Regiment could answer them, but a group of cavalry that had caught up from behind answered Greif's question.

"Isn't this a potato mercenary group? "Luckily!" The knight at the head was the young and handsome knight captain Kiro, who dismounted as soon as he saw Fede and Korth.

"Fortunately!" Kosi responded.

"I've heard you from afar, that Ripping Mercenary Regiment will definitely join the Church Alliance. ”

"Why?" Greif continued.

"Because their leader, 'Sharp Paws', is the younger brother of the archbishop. ”
