"Okay, I'm just going to announce the news to the captains today, as for how our Moon Shield Mercenary Group should choose," Andre sat back in his chair again, leaned his back firmly on the back of the chair and said, "We'll decide here tomorrow morning, I'm sure you guys here won't betray such important information to others, I trust you." ”

Bisluvis was the first to stand up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go first." ”

"By the way, Captain, I'm going to split the infantry squadron in two," Bisluvis immediately turned his head as if he heard someone confiscate his property, "In the future, we will divide it into a sword and shield squadron and a two-handed sword squadron, you are in charge of the sword and shield squadron, and the two-handed sword squadron is under my direct command." ”

The other captains present all looked at Bisluvis together, "So I'm going to give you half of the mercenaries?!"

"No, captain, your subordinates are still yours, and I will recruit my two-handed sword mercenaries on my own. After André finished speaking, he waved his hand at Bisluvis, indicating that he had been informed.

Alan immediately asked: "But our Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment uses the Moon Shield as a symbol of the world, whether it is my Archer Squadron or Julian and Bisluvis, their squadrons will carry the Moon Shield," at this time, everyone had already heard the meaning of the oldest qualified squadron leader, "Isn't the squadron with two-handed swords going to discard the Moon Shield?"

Fed glanced at each of the moon-shaped shields hanging on the walls of the council chamber, and they represented the difference between each squadron: the cavalry moon shield was lighter and smaller in size, the sword and shield infantry moon shield was wider than the ordinary round shield, and the thickness was comparable to the giant shield of the Empire, and the moon shield of the archer squadron was the first time Fei had seen it, because he had never thought in his mind that archers needed a shield, it was a lightweight shield that could be placed on the left hand holding the bow, and the lunar-shaped gap in the shield was just enough for the bow to shoot from that placeThe spearman's moon shield is used to pierce the iron spear on the gap and defend at the same time, which seems to be quite practical.

"Then I'll let those two-handed sword mercenaries carry their shields on their backs to protect their backs, that would be a good choice. Andrei said after thinking about it with his eyes closed.

Bezluvis snorted and said, "Whatever you want, my men are loyal to me anyway, if they follow you at such a young age," he looked at Andrei with contemptuous eyes, "I guess none of them will be convinced." With that, the captain of the infantry squadron left the council chamber directly.

Julian also said that he wanted to leave, "If there is nothing else, I will leave, and the commander of the military prison will not have to worry, we will solve the problem of weapons and supplies by ourselves." ”

Fett looked at Julian's departing back, and he roughly understood the situation of this mercenary group that had fallen apart and was at odds with each other. The squadron leaders are in their own hands, and even financial issues are not asked, if they are not mistaken, they must all be privately accepting various tasks in the name of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment. The current Moon Shield Mercenary Group has long since become an empty shell mercenary group, and its soul has long been annihilated.

In the evening, Feder was in his room carefully reading the letter that Uncle Evan had written to him again.

He looked at it a few more times before he really confirmed his uncle's last intention: to bring the Moon Shield back to the kingdom of Salins so that you would not be punished for "captive" the Duke's only daughter.

But Kesi obviously followed him voluntarily! Fei De decided to write down the cause and effect of this incident and write back to his uncle, as for the life weapon, he also wanted to see the power of the legendary weapon.

Fed sealed the envelope tightly and planned to go outside and find a messenger to send the letter. Just as he was about to walk out of the cavalry squadron quarters, he saw Alain, the captain of the archers, come out of Eddie's room with a sad face. I don't know for what reason, Fei De actually took the initiative to go over and talk.

"Captain Alain. There was no expression on Fidel's face, which made Alain, who had been a mercenary for fifteen years, unable to see the other party's intentions.

"It's you, Captain Field," Alain held out a hand, his equally indifferent expression made Fielder feel more cordial, but Fielder didn't stretch out his hand to shake him, "Is there anything wrong with this late hour?"

"I just wanted to go out for a walk outside to get some air, why don't you let me send you back to the dormitory of the Archer Squadron?"

"Well, it's okay, we will be business partners in the future, and I want to communicate with you more. But Alain's expression was as if he wanted to get acquainted with the other party, as if he was talking about a trivial matter in the next village. The two of them spoke without saying a word in the City of Honor.

"Actually, I want to know about Captain Russell's past, there seem to be a lot of mysterious stories about him. This was what interested Fidel the most, and he felt that only someone like Alain would confess to him.

Alain sighed and looked up at the moonlight that was a little lossy, "I'll tell you what I know, I hope you have your own opinion." ”

"Okay, no problem. ”

The two of them stood under the stone statue of the "Light of Honor City", reminiscing about the past of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group.

The predecessor of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group was called the Tiger Mercenary Group, and the Tiger Mercenary Group was already a very powerful independent mercenary group in the Republic of Marvier many years ago. Russell was still a squadron leader in his early thirties, but his greatest characteristic was that he knew how to use a shield, a shield that could attack.

The number of people who fell under Russell's shield was innumerable, and his ingenious shield combat method was able to restrain most conventional weapons, except for the flying horses and huge catapults. The commander of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment even organized a shield squadron for him, and the mercenaries in it used shields and some auxiliary weapons as a means of combat.

At that time, there were frequent internal wars in the Marvil Republic, and the city magistrates of various cities were on their own, and because of the weakness of the Senate and the incompetence of the consuls, the whole republic was like a basin of sand. With kingdoms and principalities on the outside and ghosts on the inside, the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, as a fairly powerful mercenary group in the City of Honor, quickly established its own power. At its peak, it even had tens of thousands of mercenaries.

However, everything changed completely after the woman's arrival.

A woman in her twenties named Josephine holds a shield, the moon shield, one of the legendary weapons of life. She didn't know where it came from, but she wanted to sacrifice her shield to the Senate, and the only condition was to make her consul of the republic. No one knew why she wanted to become an archon, but when the old men of the Senate saw the shield, they all agreed that the woman named Josephine was nothing more than a liar - except Russell.

On that day, Russell was also in the Senate Council with the head of the LTTE, because the head of the LTTE decided to accept the appointment of the Senate and become one of the 100 senators, replacing a recently deceased senator.

But Russell that day was not attracted by the majesty of the Senate, nor by the shield called the weapon of life, but by a woman.

Alain said he had met Josephine several times, after she became Russell's wife. Every time I saw her, she was dressed the same: a high-necked hand-knitted sweater, a long gray dress, long yellow hair with a middle part, and a ponytail tied at the back. She was silent every time, but with a warm smile, and every time she closed her eyes, like a blind person. But Russell says she's only because she likes to hear with her ears rather than see with her eyes.

Sixteen years ago, after the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group became a veteran, all the original subordinates dispersed, and only Alain and Bisluvis followed Russell to form the Moon Shield Mercenary Group. At that time, many people made fun of this mercenary group, because everyone thought that the strange-looking shield was not a weapon of life at all, but just a deceptive fairy tale made up by a female liar, and only the idiot named Russell wanted to believe it because he liked the female liar.

Later, the Moon Shield mercenary group became stronger and stronger under Russell's leadership, and even reached the status of the Tiger mercenary group, but Russell was surprisingly strict when selecting mercenaries - those greedy guys were turned away, and he said that his wife Josephine could hear the greedy heart beating, so his fear of guilt was often teased by Alain and Bisluvis.

It's just that one day, about five years ago, the elegant Josephine disappeared, and Russell also became introverted and melancholy, but at the same time, the originally simple and ordinary shield in Russell's hand was able to change the world.

It is rumored that in a joint operation with the Kingdom of Sallins against the Duchy of Deraman, Russell used the moon shield to defeat the opponent's nearly 5,000 infantry. According to the mercenaries who were present at the time, the five thousand infantry were all deprived of their eyesight in an instant, and the soldiers lost their vision, like headless flies in the chaos, and they were captured in an instant, and they had no ability to resist at all. Because of this, Evan the infantry commander of the Kingdom of Salins also came to greet Russell, saying that he would canonize the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment with the specifications of the Knights, but Russell refused.

Alan regretted that he didn't follow Russell to see the truth that time, but after that battle, the entire continent knew that the life weapon was not just a legend, but really had the power to sweep away thousands of armies.

That treasure has become a coveted artifact, and our mercenary group has begun to learn how to use light to attack each other's eyes. Rumors gradually spread on the mainland that they would lose their sight if they fought with the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment. But the good times didn't last long, there was a civil strife within the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, and a squadron leader united with the mercenary union to snatch Russell's Moon Shield, but both sides were defeated, and Russell and his shield lost their whereabouts because of this, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.

Feder sorted out the "story" that Alain had told in his mind, and he already sensed that what the other party said was suspected of concealing some facts and distorting some of the past, but he respectfully sent Alain back to the dormitory of the archer squadron.

"A lot of mercenaries know this story, and I'm just one of the versions. Alain said lightly, and he yawned.

"I understand, but I'd like to ask one more question. Fed's eyes looked into Alain's eyes, two guys like wood were a real annoying to the enthusiasts.
