"I heard that the rebels also intend to establish a republican state. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Barnes pressed his eyelids, "The rebels are all the descendants of bandits and bandits, they don't know what a real republic is, but the Republic of Marveil is different, we have been independent for many years, and it is also a happy land for mercenaries!"
Fei De said again: "The current Moon Shield Mercenary Group is the dominant force in Honor City?"
Barnes sighed, then drank the wine from his glass, "That's right, that guy Alan has colluded with Manle, and now the Moon Shield Mercenary Group is stronger than ever, and it has also absorbed many mercenary groups, as if they are feeding me alone, they don't even pay attention to the Mercenary Guild." β
Fei De thought to himself, the Mercenary Guild is now missing a mercenary group, maybe they will consider accepting the Moon Shield Mercenary Group that eliminated the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group, so that the Mercenary Guild's power can extend to the Republic of Marvil.
"I have a pact with Count Endrida of Dulumber, soβ" Feder casually gave a reason to excuse Barnes, and just then, a commotion came from the center of the manor, and both Fylde and Barnes were attracted by the sound.
A group of masked men were marching into the manor's Flowing Water Square in a procession with wooden weapons, and one of them was instantly recognized by Fidel - wasn't the other person Patrick?
Patrick was dressed just like he had in Honor City, except for not wearing the "Dragon Blade" plate armor, his two swords and cape were both worn, it seemed that the champion fighter was planning to return to his old business today, no wonder a few days ago, Patrick claimed to be able to participate in the banquet in his own way.
In addition to the gladiator performance teams that stood on the high platforms throughout the manor, a number of players with musical instruments in hand began to enter the arena, and acrobatic performers and dance troupes also entered the arena from other entrances to the manor, and dispersed to various designated locations to begin their performances. This is what the butler Van Dyck called the program, this kind of high-end social gathering is indispensable for hot people, helping the visiting guests to unload their guards, so as to achieve the desired effect of the host's family.
At this time, one of Barnes's retinue approached and told Barnes that Barry, the second elder of Barnes, was looking for an archon, because the representative of the Kingdom of Sallins had already entered the venue, and Barry, the second senator, wanted to take this opportunity to discuss the cooperation plan for the coming year with the wedding representative of the Kingdom of Barnes, as well as the most important coastal trade agreement.
After Barnes walked away, Vittorio returned to Fett's side, "I just looked around, and I didn't find any rebels," he had two more sweet fruit pies in his hand, and some pie foam was also stained on his mouth, "but I noticed an interesting thing, there are not many mercenaries in this manor." β
"Didn't Lord Luthers invite a lot of mercenary leaders to be here?"
"Yes, but most of the mercenary group leaders are from the Principality of No, and they didn't appear in this venue, but the leaders of the mercenary groups from other countries appeared here. β
Vittorio's words surprised Fett, but he quickly understood from Vittorio's eyes that Luthers did want to entrap the mercenaries, and he had set his sights on the mercenary groups of the Duchy of Finoo, which were more useful.
"The Kingdom of Salins is the home country of Chief Field, should we take a look?" Vittorio and Fed looked at the delegation of the Kingdom of Salins together, and the large wedding delegation attracted the attention of all the guests as soon as they entered the manor hall.
"Well, we'll take a look from afar. β
Fyld didn't see where Meifu had gone, but it was better for Meifu to go far away than Meifu to stand beside him and keep giving problems.
"The Kingdom of Sarins has sent a queen, a princess, and a general, but there is no prince to be sent, are the three princes of his family all decorations? Gee. A nobleman and his companion said that Fidel could hear each other as he stood beside him.
"The Duchy of Dramain has long been a vassal of the Kingdom of Sarins, I'm afraid it can't even be called a vassal state, maybe that Webster guy has knelt down in front of Byron in private, and kept licking the dust off the other party's shoes... Hey, this kind of country can be on an equal footing with our Grand Principality of Noo?" said another nobleman, not paying any attention to the eyes of the other guests.
The first thing Fed saw at first glance was Winlith, the first princess of the Kingdom of Salins, because this tallest woman in the crowd was very special - she was also a warrior with rare armor, a female warrior with a tall body and amazing arm strength, a large female warrior from the royal family.
Wen Lisi was wearing dark green plate armor, except for her face, the rest of the parts were tightly wrapped by the steel plate of the plate armor. The white lion in front of her breastplate is portrayed very vividly and fiercely, even the nobles of the Duchy of Nuo, who were talking big next to Fide just now, did not dare to look directly at Winlith, and now they did not dare to say nonsense, but kept pouring wine, occasionally whispering a sarcastic "giantess".
Winlith briefly spoke with the guests, and although she attracted the attention of the guests, the main person in charge of communicating with the envoys of various countries was the young queen Rosemund, who stood in front of her.
Fed had never met the young queen, only heard that she had conquered King Byron with her personal skill and unique charm, and made her, a woman less than thirty years old, ascend to the throne of the queen in one step. However, when Fentry saw the other party in the distance who turned to this side, Queen Rosemander's appearance stunned Fed.
"How could it be her?" Fylde saw that Rosemander looked exactly like the young woman who had shown up at the Pearl Tavern that night, and had later rescued herself and taken away her virginity. Vittorio, who was standing next to Fidel, also saw Rosemande's face, and he also showed a surprised expression, but he calmed down faster than Fidel.
Vittorio said to Fidel: "No, she's not the young woman, she's a little younger than the young woman, but the two are too similar in appearance..."
At that moment, a group of guards approached from the direction of the palace, and a brightly dressed woman was walking briskly towards Rosemund.
"Sister, you're finally here!"
Vittorio's doubts were instantly solved, because the young woman he met in the tavern was the same woman who was protected by the guards, and she was a sister to Rosemande, the young queen of the Kingdom of Salins!
After seeing the latter, Feder realized that the person who rescued him was his sister, and judging by her dress, she should be a nobleman of the Duchy of Nuo.
A nobleman said to his friend of the Republic: "This woman's name is Meryl, and she is the Duke's mistress, and the rumors of our country are true, but the Duke claims that she is just a female official who runs the city of Ibon. β
"It's a lover without a name. Vittorio reacted immediately, and his words made Fidel understand. Three wives and four concubines are not allowed in a country that believes in the Father, and Aldington, as the leader of a nation, certainly cannot violate this rule. His wife was still alive, and if he wanted to find another woman, he should sneak in. However, the Duke of Aldington blatantly maintained a lover relationship with a woman, which was well known in the Duchy of Noo.
"I've heard this before, but I didn't expect her to be the Duke of Oldington's mistress, and her sister is..."
Feder marveled at the two sisters' skills and charm, and marveled at the adventures of the night. If the other party is really the mistress of the Duke of Aldington, then why did he appear in that tavern, and he also planned to infiltrate the cargo ship of the rebels, and finally rescued himself, and had an incident with himself...
Unable to figure it out, Fed turned and walked back, not wanting to be recognized. But before he could take a few steps, he remembered that the woman named Meryl had flipped through her wedding invitation, and she must have known that she would be there, wasn't she worried that she would debunk the events of that day?
The delegation of the Kingdom of Salins began to tour the manor under the leadership of Meryl, who turned out to be the planner of the entire wedding feast, and a servant of the Lord like Van Decker was just a helper, and Fentry really never thought that a drunken young woman would have such status and ability.
Compared with the popularity of Princess Winlith and the young Queen Rosemund, General Taifu, who arrived on behalf of the second prince of Salins, Ansol, seemed to be left out in the cold. The general with only a few hairs left on his head is the guardian of the northern part of the Kingdom of Salins, and he has a close relationship with the second prince Amsul, and this time he also set off directly from the city of Bone Ruins of Ansol, without passing through the capital city of Mallot. Guests from all over the world rarely took the initiative to talk to each other, and it was clear to everyone that the identity of the concubine of Amso meant that those who came on his behalf would not receive enough courtesy.
Vittorio told Fide that now that the battle for the crown prince of the Kingdom of Sallins had entered a fever pitch, the first thing the Grand Prince Bradley had returned from the west of the kingdom was to immediately take charge of the security of the capital city of Mallot. He had also "driven Annote" away when he had just returned, and it was only a few days ago that the second prince had returned to Mallote to meet his half-brother.
Vittorio explained to Fid that Bradley's courage and ability made many ministers of the kingdom look at him differently and turn to the Great Prince's supporters. Amsol's years of political achievements came to naught in an instant, and even some ministers and nobles who were watching the third prince Walter also took refuge in the eldest prince Bradley. That's why Ammean's envoy Taifu will not be welcomed, not because of Taifu's poor image.
Fed was not interested in the heir to the throne in his home country, but he remembered the news that Eggsy had brought to himβthat the kingdom of Salins would soon face a very big change. The whirlpool of strife was approaching the calm and serene people of Sahlins, and from the current situation, it was clear that the battle for succession was at the heart of this strife, and no Sahlins could avoid the dispute over the choice of the next king, even if he was far away.
"Captain Feid, if one day the Potato Mercenary Regiment wants to raise their swords against your home country, what will you do?"
Without hesitation, Fide replied, "I am not a soldier of the Kingdom of Salins, and I have no responsibility to defend it. β
"But your family is in that place, and it is not your responsibility to protect your family?"
