"Terrible...... I already have a hunch, after I go back, I will recruit my little brother to be cannon fodder, the last time I took her out to sea, I hit a sea monster in Calidos and Somnus one after another, this time I must not encounter this kind of cheating incident......"

Every time I think back to the journey of the Wings of Freedom, the events of being attacked by Decalabia and the Heart of the Sea are always fresh in my mind, and every part of the encounter is as terrifying as seeing a ghost on deck in broad daylight.

After a final thought, Nabal decided to continue the journey back to the mainland, but no one went to Gronia to warn the King of Andorra, and thanks to Captain Huque's anticipation, an old carrier pigeon landed on the deck of the Goshawk, and the ship's lookout immediately shouted Nabar's name and called him back to the ship.

I examined the letter from the carrier pigeons, and Captain Huck asked me to gather men to help Gronia on the same day, and at the same time he gave another warning to Beatrice, who was to convey it to her patron, the guardian general of Gronia, and to the king of Andorra by the hand of Atros, so that Gronia could be prepared against the invasion.

"Aha! Things are really getting better and better, I was worried that the head of the regiment would meddle in this matter, but now it seems that the old man has also made up his mind to wade into this troubled water!"

"That'...... Shall we go back to see Commander August?" Although the answer was obvious, I asked a nonsense question to hear what he actually planned to do.

"Nonsense, if I am kicked out of the regiment, are you responsible? What's more, the money and property of the Goshawk Regiment are all public funds, and the commission money distributed to us by the regiment commander is all private property. There are still a lot of arrears in wages, so if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it for nothing!"

He replied jokingly, and ordered everyone to get ready to hoist the sails. The voyage began with the port of Tiha as the destination......

Wings of Freedom, a mercenary brigade led by Shoy August, has been with Nabar for three years. Since the fall of Chanda, the regimental commander led the remaining members of the regiment to be stationed in Sagos, still living as mercenaries, as the war continued to occur. Opportunities gradually increased, but Ogast was forced to protect the people of Chanda. As a result, the scope of activities of the Wings of Freedom was greatly reduced, and the members gradually took leave one after another due to disappointment.

Nabal had left a year earlier, and he had returned to his own goshawk regiment. The deputy head of the mission, Sige, also went to the Holy Church to assist the Pope because of his family's fate. Tristan Polcha went to the steppe on a mission after being commissioned by Khan of Kugit, and there is no news of his return. My guess is that the Captain must have encountered something crucial to gather his long-absent teammates in such a situation, so that Wings of Freedom can spread its wings again.

Finally, after eight days, the Goshawk survived the bad weather and anchored at the berth in Tiha Harbor, and the rest of the land journey was very easy. Nabal left most of the crew to guard the ship, and sent supply officers to procure supplies in the city of Tiha. He rented two fast horses at the inn and went with me to the city of Sagos.

The meeting place was set at "Jiuchi Swimming Fish", a restaurant in the north-of-the-north city of Sagos, also known as "Black Rose". In order to provide a place for the Chanda people, the original king of Ragnar did not hesitate to tear down part of the city wall, and reluctantly established this town integrating commerce, military and craftsmanship next to the main city, in addition to the residents of the original free capital, only a small number of Nords lived, and the population reached twice the number of ordinary towns, about 600 people, even if this small area is called the "new free capital" It is not an exaggeration, and the head of the Augast regiment is not only a refuge homeless, she is also the leader of the Zen people, and the homeless area where the three religions and nine streams gather is also managed by her.

On the third day of returning to the mainland, the weather improved, and the cool weather in late autumn was very pleasant, and we crossed the mountains and reached Sagos, and since the southern city was blocked, we listened to the advice of Nabar and entered the city from the military district west of the city, and heard rumors of the murder of the priest of Nord in the barracks, and most of the soldiers in the city were transferred to investigate the matter.

"If you want me to say, the Druas must have something to do with this case, and the head of the regiment is probably haunted by this kind of trouble, so let me handle it for her!"

On the way to the tavern, Nabal kept talking about this, but when he bumped into an old acquaintance in the crowded market, the owner of a fish stall next to him saw us passing by, and unceremoniously stopped us.

"Nabal, Lemuel, you still know to come back!?"

"Wow, ah...... Uncle White: Why did you change careers?"

The old man with white temples and wrinkled eyes was the support staff of the Wings of Freedom, the seasoned hunter Polislavi White, whom he hadn't seen for a year, still dressed in a thick cotton coat, and as a merchant, he had no extra money under the counter, only a spear with a retractable end, and it seemed that any customer who dared to go wild would be killed by a single shot.

I have always respected Uncle White, and the table just now was just a subconscious reaction, Uncle White told us that he opened a fish stall to facilitate the wind in the market, and by the way, he collected information from all walks of life to provide to Wings of Freedom, and the head of the regiment had been waiting for a long time in the restaurant not far away, and Uncle White also urged us to rush to meet her as soon as possible.

It took him a few minutes to get through the modest street of Guò to a three-story restaurant around the corner, and I looked up at the sign that hung high, and it was the same as when I left a year ago, the wooden sign was still swaying by the window on the second floor, with fish swimming in the wine pond on one side and black roses on the other.

The moment I pushed the door and entered the restaurant, I also felt a little uneasy, as it seemed that the reason for the lack of space was that the first floor that used as a lobby a year ago had been converted into a storage room. I had no choice but to go up the stairs by the guò wall to the second floor, which was much more prosperous, with a spacious space filled with more than a dozen tables of food, and more than 20 customers. The old woman who opened the shop is over 60 years old, but she can still attract countless customers with her outstanding cooking skills and unique brewing techniques.

Of course. It is not easy to build a restaurant of considerable scale in troubled times, and this old woman named after Black Rose is not an ordinary person, as a rather clever underground intelligence dealer. Her real name is no longer traceable, but her personal relationships are obvious, Suk is her son who once provided us with a stronghold, and the old man was a resident of the Free Capital when he was younger.

"Gus Hak, thank goodness you're coming back safely. As soon as Black Rose noticed us on the second floor, she immediately poured wine at the bar and asked Suke, who was in the store, to deliver it to us.

Since the fall of Chanda. With nowhere else to cast, Suke unexpectedly bumps into his mother who has come out of the mountain again in Sagoth, and later convinces Black Rose to move the restaurant to "Liberty Town". It was also because of Suke's introduction that Captain August was able to use this place as the base camp of the Wings of Freedom.

Now, his melancholy eyes were full of nostalgia, and he took the opportunity to give us a drink and patted us on the shoulder. Motioned for us to hurry to the guest room on the third floor. It is said that the others have already discussed their future plans, and the sooner they go to the appointment, the better.

"Hey, you two, come up!"

A familiar voice came from the top of the staircase, and I recognized Tristan Porcha, the steppe warrior of the Wings of Freedom, standing upstairs waving to us, his chain mail rusty, bracers and leggings loose.

"Take it easy! stupid horse thief. What's the hurry, look at your wolf bèi look. It's all late anyway. ”

Nabal was right this time, Porcha was indeed the scruffiest of our men, he almost never combed his hair during the months they spent together, his beard that could have been groomed was neglected, and his clothes were never stained with stains and blood. However, the eagle eye under his sword eyebrows had never lost its sharpness, and the long knife in the sheath had already been filled with killing intent after more than two years of bloody trials. It's normal for a ruthless samurai like this to take killing as the art of life and not care about his appearance.

"What's the matter, old seal. The head of the regiment is very angry, and it is better not to play tricks again. ”

As soon as he heard this, Nabal no longer had any intention of joking with his old rival, and rushed up the stairs in three steps and two steps, and I said hello to Porcha, and we entered a room on the third floor.

As we stepped into the threshold with our front feet turned Porcha shut the door, we walked forward with a hard head, and found a pair of large-caliber silver pistols sitting by the candlestick of the square table in the center of the room, reflecting a blinding flash in the light of the fire, and looking very heavy, like the silver falcon twin guns that the regimental commander had once used.

"Don't look around, who told you not to look at the road, I've been behind all the time!"

It can't be wrong, this is the voice of the head of the regiment, although it is much more mature than the last time we met, but the confidence contained in it has never wavered. Nabal and I were so nervous that we could barely breathe, and when we turned around to find a smiling blonde girl standing in front of us.

The beautiful girl in front of her has a slender figure and perfect curves, standing side by side with Porcha except for being thin, there is almost no height difference, the red and white jacket and tights on her body are completely custom-made according to the old mold, the eye-catching blue scarf is also wrapped around her shoulders, and the unique Murayu long knife hangs behind her.

"Commander!? It's already so 'big'......"

"Fly head, where are you looking!

Just because Nabal stared at her chest for a while, the cute expression on Shaw's face immediately disappeared, and he twisted his waist and made a high-end decapitation kick, but fortunately, Nabal was not slow to react, raised his hand to block the high foot, and was still shocked back a step or two before standing firm.

Polcha and I immediately jumped out to play the round, and Shoey's anger gradually subsided, in order to let Nabal accept the change of the regiment leader, Porcha didn't care about face, and directly leaned into Nabal's ear, and whispered: "Hey...... Old seal, it's not just you drooling at the captain, it's almost impossible to find another cute girl like her, not to mention that she's only eighteen years old......"

I can hear this sentence, and the regiment commander is naturally no exception, she pouted and scratched her hair, obviously trying to restrain her temper, but she still couldn't hold back after all, yelled at the two, and walked to the table and picked up the large-caliber silver pistol.

"Hey...... Brother Cha, what are you talking to the Fly Boss!Sister Sia has strengthened the parts of the Silver Falcon for me, and now even if it is an Isaac-level target, it can be taken down with one shot, do you two want to be the target first!?"

Two years earlier, the regimental commander had shot Isaac in the chest with a pistol, but he survived and captured Chanda, much to the commander's own guilt. It was only later that I learned that Sister Shia had returned her gun, reassembled the barrel, and designed a reinforced frame to give the double gunners the same lethality as a steel bullet that could pierce through the strongest steel plates and even shatter rock.

"Commander...... I know I don't have much right to speak, but why don't I see the deputy head of the regiment, shouldn't he have arrived a long time ago?" Sig hadn't appeared for a long time, and I couldn't resist the doubts in my heart, so I asked the head of the regiment.

Xiao Yi waved away the anger on his face, put away his two guns and put on a dissatisfied expression, and said to the others, "Sig has something to delay, it seems that not only we are busy, but also the Holy Cult and the Druas are not idle. ”

Porcha immediately explained: "The regimental commander got the news from Joshim that you have sent back from the North Sea. However, we are still investigating the murder in the city, and it seems that the Holy Cult is also in trouble, and as the executor, Sig must assist his colleagues in dealing with emergencies. ”

"Nabal...... Didn't you say you could help the head of the regiment with this...... Why don't you speak?"

I asked sarcastically, and Nabal immediately glared at me, and Xiao Yi naturally didn't be moved, but just explained the investigation of the time that had occurred and the time that had passed, and had already made a summary by himself, saying: "I can't solve this case for the time being, because Grandi has almost no friends, and he also wears a mask when presiding over the festival, and no one knows the body in the morgue, so in order to solve the case, he can only wait for Joshim to find more evidence." ”

Later, Shoey inquired about Porcha's harvest as a mercenary in Kugit, and he took out the codex from under the chain mail, which stated that he had been commissioned to go to the Kugit steppe on April 15, 1259, and on April 24, he rescued Nayan Akkadan from the Dark Army and followed his troops, and only arrived in Tuga on May 11 to meet his employer, Saiga Khan, and for more than a year, Porcha took up the position of Khan's guard, followed the Khan around to exterminate the Dark Knights, and did not apply for retirement until a month ago, thus ending the contract, and bringing back 10,000 dinars to temporarily deposit the savings of the Wings of Freedom。

When the regimental commander asked about the movements of the Drua navy, Nabal became nervous again and replied with a stammering voice: "Uh...... It looks like they're trying to invade Gronia, me and ...... Consulted with our colleagues in the Pirate Guild, who were responsible for slowing down the Druas so that they could be informed that they could prepare in advance, and that we could send our rescue troops to Gronia to help. ”

"Hey...... You really know the head of this regiment!I just like to be nosy with this kind of thing, and when Sig comes back, we will recruit troops and go to Gronia~"

Shaw made his decision immediately, and just as everyone was losing topic, the door was pushed open, and a wounded figure stumbled into the room and threw himself on the table.

This person immediately raised his head, looked at Xiao Yi's eyes, and gasped, "Whew...... Commander, I'm back!" (To be continued......)
