Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 6 Start here
After being taken out of the City of Light by the clergy of the Church, Avi led the crowd to his rented house. He had never lived in this house himself, and he had spent the night at the farmer's house last night.
Along the way, Feder has been thinking about the reason why the archbishop treats the potato mercenary group so well, and it is very likely that the bishop knows one of the people in his team, and according to Fed's guess, that person is either himself or Kess. If the person he knows is himself, then the archbishop may know his uncle Evan or his father Faulkner, after all, the relationship between the Papal States and the Kingdom of Salins has always been relatively harmonious, and it is not a bad thing to sell a face to the deputy commander of the regular army of the kingdom, and if he knows Koth, then Koth certainly does not know the bishop, because Fed does not see this in the eyes of the duke's daughter.
But when he was pulled into the house by Keth, he also put those things behind him for the time being.
"This house is quite large, there are twelve rooms in total, and there is only one floor!" the others had just entered the house, still watching, while Big Nose Fan had already started walking back from the end of the hallway, shouting to the others as he went.
Fei De also found that the capacity of this house is indeed large, although it does not look like the inside of the house is large from the outside, but after walking in, I really feel the spaciousness of this place. However, apart from the main furniture, there are basically no furnishings or special items, not even mirrors. He found that each room was exactly the same, and the size of the room was more than half of the previous Moon Shield Mercenary Group dormitory in Honor City, and it seemed to be just the simplest guest room.
Seeing this, Fei De couldn't help but think of the sunny room that Andre and Eddie had given him when he went to Honor City, where there used to be potted plants planted by Xuerui, but now they have been fully accepted by Alain.
At that time, the Moon Shield Mercenary Group had a good status and prestige in Honor City, so the Moon Shield Mercenary Group was able to rent some mercenary dormitories at a suitable price, even if it was like the heyday of thousands of people, with the network resources of Bithrovis, it was still easy for all the mercenaries to live in a house, and many of the mercenaries were independent houses, which was also the reason why more and more people wanted to squeeze into the Moon Shield Mercenary Group.
However, the small room in front of him brought Phaedra back to reality, the simple wooden bed, cabinet, table, chair, storage box, etc., are all different from the previous room, the price of hardware coins a day can not be regarded as very expensive, but it will not be very cheap, in general, this is a place to live temporarily.
Fed chose the innermost room, while the Duke's only daughter, Coss, chose the room opposite Fed.
"I'll be across from you from now on, but you must not come into my room!" Greif carried Greif's luggage on her journey, so she pretended to close the door before she forgot to bring anything in and wouldn't let Feld peek in. Fed wasn't so bored, he put the moon shield and the "silence" on the wooden bed and walked down the hall.
The Potato Mercenaries have all been assigned rooms, and now there are a total of fourteen of them: Fidel, Noor, Patrick, Kleth and Greif, Marcus Brothers, Avi and Van and Ayana, and four mercenaries, these are all the members of the Potato Mercenary Group.
Faced with the problem of not having enough rooms, the Marcus brothers said that it would be nice for the two of them to live together, but they were both so tall and strong that it was a bit difficult for them to live together, so they had to find someone to sleep in the hall at night. Patrick, on the other hand, said after seeing the twelve rooms that he planned to live outside by himself, and he didn't know how much money the champion fighter had, but it was certainly a lot, because what Patrick got in the arena was not only honor and trait iron coins, but also a lot of competitive bounties. Feder didn't intervene to stop him, he didn't think it was a bad thing to have someone living somewhere else, and since Patrick was used to living alone, he gave it.
The original owner of this house heard from Avi that he seemed to be a merchant who sold things, because of the war between the Oguna Empire and the Kosai Kingdom, he had transferred his assets and business to the western part of the relatively peaceful Kingdom of Sarins, and the rent of this house also needed to be handed over to one of his friends who was responsible for collecting rent on a regular weekly basis. After hearing this, Fei De felt a little relieved in his heart, he now realized that in fact, his country has always been a stable and peaceful country in the eyes of others, and he still hopes that the Kingdom of Sallins will stay away from the war, after all, there are his relatives there.
Some apple trees were planted in the backyard of the big house, presumably planted by the original owner. However, when the tree was found, Noor was already chewing an apple, and no one could see when he had plucked a ripe apple.
"You can eat the apples you want here," Fidel told the rest of his men to pick apples to eat, "and everything in this house, except for the personal belongings in his room, everything else can be shared." "Fed knows that including the Marcus brothers, Avi, Ayana, Noor and others are the backbone members of his mercenary group, although Kesi has always been willing to follow her, but after all, she is the daughter of a grand duke, the only legitimate heir of a principality, and one day she will leave the mercenary group because of her identity, so Fed hopes that the current founders can trust each other and establish a certain companion base.
As Fed watched the crowd eat the apples, Coss chose the largest apple, washed it and gave it to Fed.
"Well, after all the hard work, we finally have our own home," Coth stole a glance at the reaction on Fidel's face, "and we will start a new life in the future." ”
Feder put the apple aside, and then said to everyone, "I was taken to the prison today, so the rest of the time is free to do free, and we will meet in the hall at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." "Fei De is now the deputy head of a mercenary group, and actually exercises the power of the leader, so he must plan the affairs of the mercenary group, and Kesi is one of the unstable factors in his plan. Greif beside her was a man of great ability and a burly man, but the sturdy fisherman was not in the service of the Potato Mercenary Corps but the Prince of Walter, and Felder had secretly decided that he could not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
In the evening, Avi handed over the rest of the gold coins to Kesi for safekeeping, and now Kesi, as the military supervisor of the potato mercenary group, will be responsible for all logistics matters, including the use of the mercenary group's assets. According to common sense, the most important thing for a mercenary group is money, because with money, you can attract countless mercenaries who come for money, and the higher the price, the higher the mercenary's ability and the more tasks they can complete.
Cox also accepted the Marcus brothers' suggestion to keep the assets of the Potato Mercenary Group in the bank.
In the past, before the existence of banks, the church and the state would give some places for people to keep their belongings, but the emergence of banks also allowed many private individuals to profit from it and become wealthy, but its advantages are also obvious, you can keep your money in one place, and then get your own money in another part of the world.
The Marcus brothers and Feder accompanied Kesi to a large bank in the City of Light and deposited three thousand gold coins, and the people who worked there said that they had to pay three gold coins a month for safekeeping. The man also stated that their bank was the most well-known on the continent, and that the strongest mercenary group protected the depositor's property.
The Marcus brothers were interested in which mercenaries would guard such a huge amount of property, because it was the regular army that guarded the country's property, so who was the one who guarded the property of the rich?
In addition to the 3,000 gold coins deposited, the rest of the money is kept by Kesi, who is responsible for managing the support and income of the schedule, as well as handling the food, weapons, and recruitment of the mercenary group. Kesi cried out for trouble after learning more about it, she didn't expect that Reeves to do so much, you must know that when the Duke's daughter first saw Reeves, she just thought that the other party was an inconspicuous middle-aged man, and now it seems that it is not an easy thing to be the chief warden of a mercenary group of thousands of people.
The next morning, except for Noor, who was still asleep in his room, everyone else had already gotten up for breakfast. The breakfast had been prepared by Grass the night before, but most of the work that should have been done by her was given to her "brother" Greif, who didn't complain, and it was simple anyway.
"Why hasn't that guy gotten up yet!" Avi asked.
"Maybe it's because he used to be a thief, so he's used to being active at night and sleeping during the day. Fan found the most comfortable place and said as he stretched.
"Then why wouldn't Ayana?"
Fan couldn't answer this question, so he had to say perfunctorily: "God knows? ”
Feder noticed that Noor had severe dark circles in both eyes, and it looked like he hadn't slept well last night.
"Starting today, our potato mercenary group has been officially established," Fei De held the legal mercenary document handed over to him by the archbishop in his hand, he had read the content of the document in detail last night, it turned out that in the Papal States, the permission of the church was needed to be able to engage in mercenary work in the Holy Light City, especially every mercenary group living in the Pope's country, they had to obtain the document to be able to receive the task, "and we have taken the first step..."
Fei De had practiced these words several times in private before saying this, and to be honest, Fei De had never received leadership training. When he was back home, his father Faulkner taught him countless skills, but he didn't teach himself how to lead others. Uncle Evan, who looked up to him the most, once hoped that he would be able to join the military academy of the Kingdom of Sallins, where the most orthodox generals would be produced, and it is only now that Fei De feels his uncle's kindness at that time.
So, starting today, Fielder is going to learn how to be a leader, and no teacher will teach him.
