After the night of talking with Wolfgang, the long-armed weirdo, Avi kept trying to communicate with the "King" after returning to the City of Light. However, he was never able to express himself successfully, and the young stallion did not cry much, and occasionally some sounds could be transformed into meanings that Avi could understand, but it was only by chance.

Instead, one night, Avi heard the voice of "Ben Nicott" in his head again, "It's funny, your ears are funny." Avi guessed that the voice hiding in his head would definitely make him nervous one day, but there was nothing he could do to get rid of him.

One day in February, Avi heard the news of Selena's injury from the church and returned to the City of Light, and he and the old knight were worried. It is rumored that several great nobles of the Eastern Oguna Empire have personally led their troops to the south of the Western Oguna Empire, preparing to divide up a little more land that originally belonged to the West after dealing with the Holy Maiden Golia and the regent Shumo.

The civilians in the City of Light were also worried, and when they worshipped the Pope, they expressed their concern about the infidels' frenzied attacks on the allies. The Pope, however, said that he had been consulting with the Kingdom of Sahlins on ways to aid the Theoguna Empire. Avi didn't want the Pope to find a solution, because Carrie and the red-haired girl Felisty were working hard to avenge Miss Delia, if they could use the invasion forces of the East Oguna Empire to defeat Delia's own sister Golia

Patrick, who was supposed to return to the City of Light at this time, was three days late, and the food response team led by Feder suddenly lost his voice.

"Why did Squadron Leader Patrick come back alone?" Captain Franklin, who was not involved in any mission, circled around Patrick and found that there was also a little boy holding Patrick's trouser legs, "And brought back a child?" "The champion fighter has obvious injuries on his body, but the deepest injury is the back of his calf, and the mercenaries who brought the potato mercenary group are nowhere to be found.

"They're all dead. Patrick held the mission document in his hand and told everyone what had happened to him in front of Ernest, the head of the Mercenary House.

On that day, the Knights of Oguna, who had been guarding Baron Gerhardt, suddenly killed Gerhardt, some of them shouting "Long live the East Oguna Empire!" and some of them had the idea of Gerhardt's treasures and enchanted weapons. However, Patrick, with his vast combat experience, finally killed almost all the rebellious knights after losing all his companions and the knights who remained loyal to the baron. Only one of Patrick and Gerhardt's sons was left unkilled, and all the others died. Patrick deposited all the treasure that Gerhardt had brought with him into a bank in a nearby town, but the enchanted weapon was taken by two treacherous knights, and they were both seriously wounded, and Patrick was also wounded at that time, so he watched the other escape.

"That means I didn't complete the mission," Avi walked over to help Patrick, but Franklin, the team leader, whispered.

"Not only did you not complete the mission!, even the employer died, and the enchanted weapon that was supposed to be your reward is gone!" Ernest, the head of the mercenary house, shouted to Patrick in dissatisfaction, the success rate of the protection mission must be high, but this time he lost everything that needed to be protected.

"Didn't we still get that nobleman's property, not a loss!" said Big-Nosed Fan casually.

Ernest pointed to the little kid who was still pulling at Patrick's trouser legs, who looked to be only about five years old, "And what are you going to do with this kid?"

The captains of the other potato mercenary regiments all saw the timid child, the other party was the son of Gerhardt, if the East Oguna Empire still recognized Baron Gerhardt's identity, he might be able to inherit his father's title, but this was basically impossible. "In my opinion, send him to the church, is it impossible for him to follow our mercenary group at such a young age. "General Warden Reeves suggested.

"If you send it to the church, maybe you can become a church knight in the future, and you will have enough to eat, and you don't have to worry about being cold and starving. Ernest, the head of the Mercenary House, chimed in.

"I've heard that Mallot's orphanage is especially good for the orphans who are sent there," Captain Luca walked over and touched Gerhardt's son's hair, who immediately shrunk up, "If you don't bother, maybe you can send him there." ”

Avi remembered that the long-armed monster Wolfgang had mentioned Mallot's orphanage, "It's too far away, if you want to send it, you better stay in the church." "Everyone else said that it would be better to leave the orphan in the church in the City of Light, and the believers here are very friendly to outsiders.

The five-year-old boy didn't dare to say a word, like a puppy that had been beaten and abused, hiding in the corner of the wall and secretly looking out but not daring to make a sound. The champion gladiator nodded in agreement with the others and decided to send him to the church.

The church believers also promised to take in the orphan, "What's his name?" one believer asked Patrick. Patrick didn't know that the little kid hadn't spoken.

"My name is Patrick. The kid whispered. The champion fighter doesn't know why he uses his own name, but his name is also common, and perhaps Gerhardt named his son Patrick.

The day after Patrick's failed mission, news finally came from the border of the Duchy of Noo that the food response team had transported the grain to the Duchy of Deramain without danger, and it was delayed for some time because Fid and the Knight Captain Riley encountered a large group of horse thieves on the way.

The messenger was from the Duchy of Deramain, and he didn't know how many horse thieves the grain receiving team led by Feder had encountered, and what effect those horse thieves had on them, he was just responsible for delivering the message.

"It's really not easy to do any mission!" Franklin didn't participate in any of the missions, and was only willing to train the rookie mercenaries who didn't do the tasks in the training ground.

"Didn't you say that the three principalities were all prosperous? How could this be?" Avi heard that there had been no major wars in the three principalities in recent years, and the people there were living happily, but he didn't expect that there would be a huge group of horse thieves who wanted to steal the grain.

Two days later, Fed and Knight Captain Riley returned to the City of Light, and when Avi first saw Fed's team, he noticed that Marcus was tying up a man dressed like an old peasant and carrying him into the City of Light. Knight Captain Riley was separated from the people of the potato mercenary group at the city gate, and his knights seemed to have lost half of them, only a dozen people remained, but the mercenaries led by Feide's predecessors did not lose much, all of them pushed wooden carts full of food behind the troops.

"That third prince of Walter is really a fierce general! I thought he was just a politician at first, but I didn't expect his swordsmanship to be so sharp!" said Matthews aloud to his brother.

Marcus: "Brother, you have been talking all the way from the border of the Duchy of No's to the present, isn't our deputy head a fierce general? Even if those horse thieves surround Fielder with dozens of people, they can't kill him!" Although the two brothers, Marcus and Matthews, had some bandaged wounds on their bodies, the two who walked in front were very excited, and their saliva was spraying, and they didn't see Avi and the others who were standing next to the city gate waiting for them without seeing them. Instead, the captive who had been tied up and carried away by Marcus saw Avi and lowered his head again, frustrated.

Avi and Reeves immediately greeted the people who had returned. When Fidel and the other captains returned to their residence, they told Avi what had happened.

"We've been attacked by horse thieves, and if that Baron Ethan hadn't lied, the Duke of Aldington of the Duchy of Noo had no intention of giving food to the Papal States. Fed's face was as expressionless as ever, and he couldn't tell that he had been surrounded by thousands of horse thieves before, and finally repelled the enemy to protect the grain.

"Why do you say that?" asked Reeves.

That guy is the best explanation. Marcus said for Field, and with that he pointed to Baron Ethan, who had been captured.
