Chapter Ninety-Four: Dade's Last Words

"It's unbelievable," Lukka stretched out one of his arms, which had a cross scar on it, which looked like it had been left by two sharp objects, "If I really got this poison, this scar of mine would definitely become the biggest 'petal' on my body." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Everyone else weighed how many scars they had on their bodies from sharp objects, and although these scarred parts were not very pretty, they had all been smoothed, and only the marks on them reminded them that they had been injured in these parts. It would be unbelievable if the poison could cause these long-healed wounds to crack open again.
"The poison in this dagger cannot be extracted, and the poison that has penetrated into the human body has long been nowhere to be found. Even I, as clever as any other doctor, couldn't figure out what poison was used to make it, let alone create an antidote. I'm not trying to scare you, the fatality rate of poisoning for those of us who are mercenaries is very high," the white cloth that had been removed from the corpse had been re-covered by Ligu, "Of the twenty-five mercenary leaders who were sent today, only two did not die due to excessive blood loss, and the others were either dead or would not come back to life, and the leader of the mermaid mercenary group, Dade, was the latter. ”
Fylde recalls that Avi had almost died due to blood loss, but fortunately, Dr. George from Honor City saved Avi by giving him a blood transfusion in a unique way.
"Outside are all mercenaries from the mermaid mercenary group, and the half-human, half-fish motif on their shields is a bit funny. Jasmine said.
Only then did Fei De remember that the leader of the second largest mercenary group in Dumu City had also been sent here, but even if he wanted to see this female group leader he had never met, it would be difficult for him to squeeze out the mercenaries who protected Dade.
At this time, the door of the ward where the corpse was parked was pushed open, and in addition to the team leader Winotki, there was also a middle-aged mercenary with a solemn expression, and the mercenary's scale armor had a half-human and half-fish pattern.
"I'm late, I've heard that the rebel assassins have attacked many mercenary leaders in Dumu with poison blades, what kind of poison are they?" asked Winotki as she walked over to Fidel.
"You're late, but that's not a bad thing. Jasmine's mind was still full of the disgusting wounds she had just had, and in her eyes, those wounds did not look like delicate petals at all, and there was no beauty at all. It was only a horrific poison that consumed those who had fought to the death.
"Looks like I'm missing something important," Winoki pulled out a bag of things, "I also want to bring the Poison Blade back to the Potato Mercenary Corps and study it carefully, maybe I can find a cure..."
Winotki has lived with poisonous snakes since she was a child, and she should know a lot about poisons and antidotes. Fidel immediately glanced back at Rigu and motioned for Rigu to hand the poison blade into Winoki's hand. Although Ligu was reluctant, this was the intention of his regimental commander, and he did not dare to object, so he had to offer the wooden box containing the poisonous dagger with both hands.
The snake girl lifted the glass lid and sniffed the dagger with her nose. Jasmine and Selena were startled, but Winotchy was calm, ignoring the surprised stares of the others.
"May I ask if this is the head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment?" the middle-aged man had been looking at everyone for a while, and he waited for a while to look at Fielder and ask.
"I am. ”
"I'm the squadron leader of the Merfolk Mercenary Regiment, Kergrei, our leader... The Leader, Dade, wants to see you, but she may be soon... No more. The middle-aged mercenary had been frowning, sometimes holding the handle of the sword in one hand, sometimes holding the other arm, looking very uncomfortable.
Fid and Rigu exchanged a look, the mercenary doctor himself didn't know about the situation of the head of Dade, and the other people on the scene had no relationship with the mermaid mercenary group.
Middle-aged mercenary Kegrei: "Captain Feid, time is pressing, so come with me quickly." ”
Patrick and Luca followed Fed's side, and under the leadership of the squadron leader, they made their way through the various people crowded into the hospital aisles and up to the third floor of the hospital. The staircase connecting this floor is guarded by a lot of mercenaries, so there are only a few people on the third floor. A doctor had just stepped out of a room in front of the group, and after one look at Kergree, he shook his head and sighed.
"Captain Dade has just passed away. ”
Kergree immediately walked into the room, and Feld and the others quickly followed.
"Deputy Commander, Captain Fede is here. As he spoke, he walked over to the side of the bed and crouched down. A black-bearded uncle stood in front of the hospital bed, his hands crossed over his chest, his lips closed, "You're the kid named Field?!" he greeted Fielder in a rude manner as soon as he opened his mouth, "Come back to me, I don't have much time!".
"I'm Fidel, the leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and Your Excellency is the deputy head of the Mermaid Mercenary Regiment. Feder had seen Dade, the leader of the mermaid mercenary group, lying on a hospital bed, and there were countless small "petals" on her legs, each dripping with blood.
"Hmph, let me tell you, if it weren't for Dade's last words, I wouldn't be interested in talking to a demon like you who slaughtered villagers!" The black-bearded man had thick hair and large nostrils, and from his fierce figure, it could be seen that the deputy head of the regiment was a fierce man.
Lukka answered, "What do you have to say to the head of the mermaid mercenary group, Lord Dade?"
"A few of you have also seen it, our head is dead, you can think of how he died with your fingers. It's just that just before Dade died, she left a last word related to you. The last words are also very simple, that is, let you deal with the rebels, there is a leader in the rebels named Lutz, as long as you capture or kill him, it will be considered the completion of the last words of the head of Dade. ”
Feide's first reaction was to think of Russell asking him to kill the Pillar Priest, this time the deceased regimental leader who had never met left such a will for himself, it was really inexplicable, why did he entrust himself to kill the leader of the rebel army in his last words?
"I know what you boys are thinking, let me tell you, as long as you kill the guy named Lutz and wipe out all his rebel subordinates, then the mermaid mercenary group will be disbanded, and all the mermaid mercenary group funds will be given to you, and you won't compete with you for the first place in Canwood City!
"When are we—" Lukka noticed Uncle Blackbeard's words.
"Hmph! Anyway, you want to kill Rutz and the other rebels for me, if you don't avenge Dade and kill Rutz, Dade's men and I will carry out Dade's second part of her last wish!
The three of them were stunned, it was obvious that the rebels had stabbed Dade, but if they didn't attack the rebels, they would become murderers?
"Get out of here when you hear it clear!" the deputy head of Blackbeard roared. Fide was not angry in the slightest, the only person who was angry was this vulgar deputy leader, because everyone could see that the grief of losing Captain Dade had made him lose his mind, and it was not his fault.
After the three of them walked out of Dade's hospital room, Squadron Leader Kergley also quickly chased after him, "Captain Feide, what that guy said is not true!" He immediately explained to the three of them that Captain Dade had planned to find a time to meet with Captain Field, because the foreign mercenary group led by Fielder had done a great job for Count Endrida here, and she wanted to question Captain Fielder in person if he had really slaughtered the villagers.
"That's a false rumor. ”
"Many people say that Captain Phid is tyrannical and murderous, including Deputy Leader Dockery, all the mercenary group leaders in Dumu City believe those rumors," the middle-aged mercenary hesitated a little when he said this, "But Captain Dade and I have been to the internal competition of the Potato Mercenary Group, and she thought that a young and promising young mercenary like Captain Phyll would not be a violent demon. ”
"Of course our head is not!" Luca argued.
Kegrei nodded and continued to explain in a low voice, in fact, the head of the regiment Dade only wanted to coexist peacefully with the Potato Mercenary Group in Dumu City, and did not want to compete. It's just that the deputy head of the regiment, Dockley, doesn't think so, he is already tired of the peace and quiet life of the head of the group. Deputy Captain Dockley is bent on reclaiming the title of "First Mercenary Regiment" in Dutim City, and now that Lord Dade has been assassinated, he will definitely hold the strength of all the mermaid mercenary groups tightly in his hands and use them to fight against the potato mercenary group commanded by Fed. Squadron Leader Kergley expressed his guess, and after the poisoning, Captain Dade wanted to meet with Captain Fidel to learn the truth about the incident in the Iron Ore Mountains and avoid disputes between the mercenary groups. It is very likely that the last words I heard were made up by Dockley himself, in order to use the power of Fidel to eradicate the leader of the rebel army named Lutz.
"Why did he do that?"
"Dockley just wants to dominate the mermaid mercenary group alone, and at the same time, he also wants to make his sworn enemy Rutz and the potato mercenary group fight each other, so that he can take advantage of the fisherman. ”
Feder noticed that what the middle-aged mercenary said was completely different from Dad's last words that Dockery had just told him in the hospital room, and it was difficult to determine who was telling the truth.
"And what are you going to do?" Fidel asked Kergley.
"Captain Fed, you must not know, I am the younger brother of Captain Dade, she is my own sister! So I'd like to get Captain Field's help, and I'll swear to obey Captain Field's orders forever as long as I banish that greedy Dockery from Dutim and my sister's mermaid mercenary group that my sister has run for many years. ”
Fidel, Luka, and Patrick were all stunned, how could they suddenly be dragged into the internal strife of the mermaid mercenary group?
"We are not interested in this, and the last words of the regimental commander said by the deputy head of Dockley have no legal effect on us, whether the deputy commander or the brother of the regiment leader takes over the mercenary group should be your internal matter. If Deputy Commander Dockley really wants to use force against us, then we have a formal reason to defend ourselves. With that, Fei De turned around and prepared to leave, but the middle-aged mercenary immediately called out to the three of them.
"If you don't get rid of Dockley, he'll join all the mercenary groups in Dutim City to deal with Captain Fidel!"
