Chapter 12 Partners (I)

Ludwig's men soon returned to the port with good news, and the fact that the leader of the plebeian faction, who was now an important figure in the kingdom of Cose, planned to meet Fid in person, which already showed Ludwig's sincerity. Most of the captains agreed with this decision, after all, it was difficult for a mercenary group with strength and fame to avoid the owner of that land, and it was better to face it calmly than to keep hiding the purpose that could not be hidden.

"Fidel, Vittorio's suggestion is the most straightforward and effective way to do it, but I guess things won't go that way, and Ludwig will certainly ask for a piece of the pie like everyone else. Patrick waited until the Ludwig envoy walked out of the door of the dormitory.

"Commander, we think the same way, Vittorio's deputy superintendent thinks that Ludwig will only open up if he asks for it, but we also ask for him, and this is the case with the alliance with the other party in the position of the Duchy of Magini. The other captains nodded in agreement.

Fidel was not worried about the interests being siphoned off, after all, the potato mercenary group already had enough funds to maintain the status quo, and he was worried about Ludwig's purpose.

As we all know, after King Adam came to power in the Kingdom of Cose, the aristocratic faction led by the king's uncle, the Marquis of Ampwol, eroded the power of King Adam all the time. Adam couldn't control the situation on his own, especially after Prince Jack, the "Green Ghost", was imprisoned, and Ampwer was even more than 10,000 people under one person. Fortunately, the frail King Adam did not give in, but developed his own plebeian officials under Ampwor's nose, completely loyal to him. These young, strong, native-born Winter Nationals became important pawns in King Adam's balance, and Ludwig, who had been trained all along, was one of the most important of them.

After arriving at the Ice Painting Port, Fidel heard that Ludwig had developed three important subordinates after taking power, and let these three people guard the three places in the Kingdom of Cosse, becoming an important force to support the common people. It is also because the plebeian faction has more talents and abilities, and King Adam has distributed many official positions with real power, which makes the lords and nobles of the aristocratic faction anxious. The reason why Ludwig could not move an inch in the war of the Duchy of Magini was because of the Marquis of Ampwer and others who were disturbing behind the scenes, and now that Ludwig had taken a quarter of the land of the Duchy of Magne, it was a small achievement, and it was time to return to the northernmost part of the continent to deal with the enemies in the country.

Fide and the other captains were aware of this when they set foot in this not rich land, and although the kingdom of Cosai had been economically weak for many years, they had never lacked military power. This is also one of the things that Fei De was very puzzling about when he was in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment - why the Winter Kingdom, which is not very strong, let Jack lead an army of 100,000 to attack the capital of the Marvil Republic, Honor City, which can't even govern his own country well, but covets his neighbors. I'm afraid this is also a choice that Prince Jack has no choice, after all, this prince nicknamed "Green Ghost" will only use force to divert domestic contradictions and crises.

Selena had her own thoughts after hearing Vittorio's advice, "For Ludwig, the treasure hidden under the land is not important, what matters is the fate of the Kingdom of Cose. That little money can't solve the contradictions within the current Winter Kingdom, he, just like the original Pope, needs strength. ”

"Strength..."Fei immediately recalled his time in the City of Light, where the Pope and Deputy Head Rashad were ultimately unable to rely on a trustworthy mercenary force. Those mercenary groups with strength in troubled times have become pawns of careerists, but these pawns sometimes hurt their fingers in turn, and I am afraid that Ludwig will only plan to cooperate with the potato mercenary group again after repeated consideration.

Just then, a mercenary guarding the door rushed in.

"Fei... Ludwig's envoy has been killed!"

"What's going on?" Noor pulled up the mercenary who was kneeling on the ground.

"That's... The mercenary named Cox stood guard outside the house, and as soon as he saw Ludwig's envoy come out, he grabbed him and took him away! as if he wanted to take him to his own place for interrogation! But before he had gone a few steps, he killed the envoy because of an argument!"

Fett and the other captains were shocked, but before they could fully react, Shorthair Cox strode into the chamber and kicked the messenger to the ground. Behind him were several mercenaries with weapons in hand, as if he were a bully in a village or town.

Noor rushed straight over and tried to hit Cox, but Cox's arm was very long, and he pressed Noor's head with one hand and kicked Noor to the ground with another kick. At this time, the other captains couldn't sit still, not only because Shorthair Cox killed Ludwig's men, but because Noor and that subordinate were humiliated, and Noor immediately got up, but the relatively calm Ayana immediately grabbed him.

"Why! You guys still want to mess with me!" the villain of Short-haired Cox complained first, and he looked unscrupulous, "Remember! If you dare to touch me now, it will be tantamount to going against the head of Constable! It is equivalent to going against the mercenary guild! Can you take this responsibility?!"

The enraged captains all glanced at Fidel, but the wooden-faced mercenary leader sat in his chair as usual, quietly watching the clamor of the short-haired Cox.

"Why did you kill that man?" asked Fidel.

"Why? Tell me why you want to collude with the Winter Nation people in private! Do you want to take the treasure and swallow it with those Winter Country people? If it weren't for our regiment leader giving you that treasure map, you wouldn't get anything!"

In the face of Shorthair's loud questioning, Fidel didn't seem to have much feedback, and by this time everyone had already understood why the mercenary wanted to capture Ludwig's envoy. If he wasn't mistaken, the envoy must have said something that angered Cox, but Cox was obviously a little more angry.

Fett stood up suddenly, and quickly drew the saber from Patrick's waist as he walked in front of Cox. With a wave of the long sword, the arm of the short-haired Cox who drew his weapon was directly cut off by Fidel! Before the mercenaries behind Cox could react, Fidel's subordinates stepped forward one after another to subdue them, taking away control of the situation in an instant.

"Captain Fidel!" Selena was the calmest of the guys.

Looking at the short-haired Cox who had lost his arm and was in severe pain, Feder threw his sword directly to the ground.

"You know, we are just partners, not subordinates of your mercenary group, don't talk to my subordinates with that attitude. Feder was still expressionless.
