Chapter 358: The Ghost Lingers
Fei reclined on the branch, her hands pillowed behind her head, crossed Erlang's legs, she looked, Suzanne sat on the branch adjacent to An Fei, quietly observing the busy dwarves and goblins below, her hair fluttered in the wind, sometimes swaying, sometimes spreading like an umbrella, Suzanne didn't pay attention to anything at first, and later found out that An Fei was playing a ghost, and couldn't help but smile and said: "An Fei, are you in a good mood today." γγβ
An Fei's hand waved, and a stronger wind blew through Susanna's ears: "How can you not be happy? β
Although Entos is also a cunning figure, under Anfei's side knocks, he revealed a lot of secrets, of course, Entos may have done it on purpose. The Brotherhood Mercenary Group has maintained a good relationship with the Maao Empire for generations, and when Entos went to the mercenary country to train, he was a hot figure, but he refused the invitation of other mercenary groups to join the Brotherhood Alliance Mercenary Group, and the good relationship between the two sides was an important reason.
However, in Marino's generation, the situation changed, and in an assassination attempt, Marino's wife died tragically at the hands of the Assassins in order to protect him, leaving only a boy under the age of three. When the boy was thirteen years old, he accidentally fell from a height while playing, and injured his head, although the injury was later healed, but his intelligence was affected to a certain extent, and compared with ordinary people, it was a little worse.
The four super mercenary groups have never been truly peaceful, and the intrigue has existed before, but now it is becoming more and more intense, and it will continue to fight in the future. Marino couldn't imagine if her children would survive. Yolande understood Marino's mood and kept sending messages, and what made Marino most excited was Yoland's promise that when the mercenary country was included in the empire, Marino would become the hereditary archduke of the land.
The leader of a super mercenary group, with at most a quarter of the power, is not comparable to the hereditary Grand Duke. As for what to fight for freedom, it is already an empty slogan for Marino, when he dies, will that child whose intelligence is not as good as that of ordinary people be able to support the overall situation? At that time, the mercenary group of the Brotherly Alliance will definitely be divided up by other mercenary groups, and they will not even be able to save their lives, so what freedom is there to talk about?!
The king of the three major powers of the continent, Yoland's personality charm far exceeds that of Edward of the Allison Empire and Philip of the Shining Sand Empire, Marino knows. As long as he did what he was supposed to do, Yolande would never hesitate to give a reward, and based on various considerations, Marino finally decided to completely fall to the Maao Empire.
And Marino's transformation has made Anfei see a bright future, with the relationship of Entos, Marino's political position has been fixed, and he has to do it. It was with Marino's support that he squeezed out Fernando, the Knight of Light, and let Chris seize military power. Conquer the land!
Anfei had previously believed that Yolander would never act hastily on the issue of heirs, which was not in line with his usual style. West was given the opportunity to display his talents, and Grandon took on the important position of overseer at the age of sixteen, and Chris was humble by nature. He has always been obsessed with practicing magic, and once told Yolander that he did not want to fight for the succession to the throne. It's a pity that it's about the future of the country, it's not a question of whether the individual is willing or not, but who is the most suitable, Anfei feels that Yolande will not exclude Chris rashly, at least give Chris a chance to perform, sure enough, now the opportunity has come.
Suzanne grabbed her hair, sighed softly, and turned her gaze to the sky, in fact, she was conflicted, most women in the world want to live a peaceful and harmonious life with their partner after thinking that they have been truly happy, even if it is seclusion. Determined not to forget revenge, that's Alice, who gave birth to seven or eight children and still likes to call the shots, that's Hodge Billy of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment of Theo, Susanna, who no longer holds a long sword in her hand, is just an ordinary girl, and she has a very ordinary dream.
It's a pity that she married An Fei, she had no other choice, to protect An Fei and protect the team, she could only continue to hold the long sword in her hand. Absorbing most of the energy left by the angel, but never breaking through the bottleneck, a large part of the reason is her contradictory state of mind, otherwise, she would probably already be a great swordsman.
And Suzanne is not a person who is good at communicating with people, it can even be said that she is a little withdrawn, happy, she is willing to share with An Fei, suffering, she is used to suffering silently, just like she has not told An Fei about her past until now.
"Your Excellency, Lord Anfei!" Ozjuch came running from afar.
An Fei raised his head and saw that it was Ozgucci, and spun around and fell lightly from the branch: "What's the matter?"
"My lord, Long and Ling are back. OzgΓΌci hurriedly said, "They have something to report to you in person." β
An Fei had already seen Long Heling's figure and nodded, "Let them come over." β
After a short time, Long and Ling walked over together, and Long first bowed to An Fei respectfully and said, "My lord, we have handed over the letter of request for help to General Augustus in person. β
"No reply?" asked Anfei in some surprise, the last time he met Augustus, he was very enthusiastic, the two sides had nothing to do with each other, and from the point of view of politeness, Augustus should have written a reply.
"General Augustus said that it was a little inconvenient, and we didn't understand it at the time, but when we went out of the city, we were searched, and fortunately the general did not write a reply, otherwise it would have fallen into the hands of someone else. β
"Augustus is the general of Blacknia, who would dare to search your territory in his territory?" Anfei was further surprised.
"Marshal Beeri is in the city of Blacknia, but we have not seen him. Long hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "My lord, are you ...... with the Marquis of Zose of Violet City?"
"Marquis of Zose? huh...... Could it be that he led someone to search for you?" "Anfei is very strange, with Belli and Augustus, how can a Zuose, who has no real power, be so arrogant?!
"He had a dozen knights of light to search us, and we had been arguing with them for a long time, and we thought that General Augustus would come forward to stop us, but we never saw him, and finally we had to bow our heads. Long smiled bitterly: "By the way, my lord, General Augustus asked us to tell you that Marquis Djose has now joined the Shield of Light Legion, and it is said that he has a very good relationship with Fernando. β
An Fei groaned, controlling the real power of the Shield of Light Legion and squeezing out Fernando is Yoland's established policy, and the eldest prince West should also know that although the Marquis of Zose is the person of the eldest prince, he must not have greeted the eldest prince in doing so, a marquis, no matter how famous and powerful he is, his roots are still rooted in the Ma Empire after all, if he offends Guang from top to bottom, his end can be imagined! The name 'Marquis Dzose' was thrown out of his mind, and when Fernando fell, Marquis Djose would definitely be unlucky with him, at least would the Grand Prince Vest protect him...... Hehe, it would be very righteous to be able to not fall into the well and win the favor of Yolande.
"When will reinforcements come?" An Fei asked softly, "If nothing else...... The reinforcements should be the Shield of Light, right?"
"Yes, my lord, they will be leaving in the next few days. β
"What did you all inquire about? For example, the number of the Knights of Light. β
"I know about four hundred Knights of Light, and it's just one squadron of them. β
"Is it accurate?" An Fei was stunned.
"It's definitely not going to be bad. β
"How do you know?" Anfei was a little strange, Long and Ling had no background in Blacknia City, and they shouldn't dare to guarantee the ticket.
"It was a general of the Death Roar Legion who told me. Long thought for a moment: "My lord, the name of the Death Roar Legion is so powerful that I thought their soldiers were a group of hot-blooded men who dared to act and fight, but they were always submissive in front of the Knights of Light, for fear of conflict with the Knights of Light, I really can't think why." β
An Fei laughed, of course they didn't dare to clash with the Knight of Light, but it would seem that Yolande deliberately embarrassed the knights of the church, secretly harboring evil intentions, and politely sending those big people away was the best choice.
"Any other news?"
"Hmm...... The general also said that Sejialan of the Shining Sand Empire had already gone north with half of the border guards, but after they left the station, there was no trace, and now the situation is too chaotic to get information at all, the general told us to tell His Highness that we must be vigilant! If the Shining Sand Empire always maintains a disadvantage, they do not have the strength to make small moves, but once they seize the opportunity of victory, Sejialan is very likely to lead a large army to appear in the country of mercenaries. β
"Which general told you this??"
"He didn't say his name, and we asked a few times, but he always laughed and avoided the topic. β
An Fei pondered for a long time and said slowly: "You guys are tired all the way back, go and rest early." β
"Yes, sir. Long took a few steps back, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Also, that general said that the situation in Violet City is normal, Violet City is only a commercial city, and Fernando is not qualified to dictate the internal affairs of the empire." β
"I see. An Fei nodded.
