001.Star Mercenary Group (Revised)
Freitrick and Cardinay, each on a horse, were followed by four subordinates, and it was these four men who redeemed themselves.
In the early morning of the sixth day of regaining freedom, the gray-red castle that stood halfway up the mountain and was tired of seeing since childhood quietly appeared.
After the guards opened the gates.
Kadir's face changed dramatically, he jumped off his horse, stepped forward, and half-knelt before the man he saw when he opened the door.
This person is none other than "Nelly Braden", a baron on the border of the Kingdom of Bavaria and head of the Star Mercenary Regiment.
It's also his own father.
Nelly looked carefully at his sons Cardinay and Frederick, and when he saw that they were not short of hands and feet, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then anger rose.
"Come to the sword training ground."
Cardina and Frederick immediately followed, not daring to delay.
The fencing practice ground was emptied, and there were only three people.
Nelly asked Cardina to pick up his sword first.
In desperation, Cardina put on a fighting state.
His swordsmanship with Frederick was taught by his father Nelly, and his father was still in his prime, so he was naturally not an opponent.
Although the wooden sword is not sharp, it still makes a loud impact sound when hit on the body.
Cardinai didn't stop until he couldn't hold back his shouting.
Replace Frederick on the field.
"Your Highness...... Come on, Friedrich, you participate in the war of thousands of people, and you must be one step stronger. ”
Freiti made a disciple salute and put on a sword stance.
The time of the two fighting was twice as long as just now, but in the past few days, Frederick was tired, and gradually fell into disadvantage, and was caught by Nelly with an opportunity, knocked the stomach, and squatted down in pain.
Nelly stepped forward to replenish his sword and said, "Don't forget who you are, don't do such a reckless thing next time." ”
"I haven't forgotten that my identity is a mercenary, so I followed the deputy commander to fight."
Freitrick said in a self-deprecating tone.
Nelly sighed, he had received the favor of Frederick's mother, so he took him in after Frederick was expelled from the palace by His Majesty.
"So this ransom is all paid by the Knights."
When Nelly had spoken, he called his servants and helped them down to rest.
There is an artificial pond around the castle, and at night Cardina and Freitrick stay there, eating and talking.
"I'll definitely get it back, that little white face of Bran is at me."
"He kind of helped us, forget about it."
"How could I forget, as soon as I remembered that my Lola was being ...... by his men"
"Don't talk about it, in a few days, it's the royal capital celebration, I want to go back once."
"To see your sister? But His Majesty and the Princess...... And the palace minister may deal with you!"
"That's why I'm going back in secret, your father didn't go to the king's banquet, I'll go with his party halfway, hide near the monastery for a few days, and when the baron returns, I'll follow."
"I heard from my father that there are hundreds of people guarding your sister, and even the birds can't fly close, and you can't speak."
"It's good to see each other from afar, I've almost forgotten what she looks like."
At this point, there is no need to persuade again, Cardina nodded.
Later, he went to plead with his father, but at first Nelly did not agree.
"Do you know how many people in the royal capital want to harm Frederick and let him go back!"
"It's not that serious, it's just a sneak trip, and he misses his sister 'Osseya'."
Mother and daughter are so similar that when the name Otasia is mentioned, Nelly thinks of the princess, the noblewoman he once thought of...... In the end, Nelly relented, but arranged for a few men to follow Freitrick to keep him safe.
At the same time, Nelly also warned that if there was another act of sending troops without permission last time, the Kadinian inheritance would be abolished.
The failure of this dispatch caused the Star Mercenary Group to suffer heavy losses, and even had to divert the revenue of the territory to make up for it.
Coupled with the upcoming royal celebrations and tax days, the territorial treasury is empty.
After the king's banquet, it is inevitable to aim at the Swabian kingdom on the border and find some compensation to come back.
On the day of his departure, Frederick prepared many things, light white silk, ornate jewelry, all of which he had bought with the money he had accumulated over the years, thinking that if he was lucky enough to speak to his sister, he might be able to say a few words to his sister.
But he was disappointed.
A wooden fortress was built next to the monastery where Othaya was imprisoned, and nearly 200 men patrolled the perimeter day and night, with a dozen feathered horses walking back and forth with ordinary war horses.
The monastery is not big, nor is it high, but it is not something that one person can break through.
Frederick looked at the village house a few hundred meters away, but he didn't see anyone in his heart.
Or the elder sister actually came out, but the friars who came in and out were wrapped in headscarves, and the bags were so airtight that they couldn't see their looks at all, and their range of movement was completely stared at by the soldiers. Frederick did not dare to step forward easily.
After the death of his mother, his father, King Theromew, turned his lover into a regular lover, and this lover came from the "Ampunsai" family in the country.
Now my father's most trusted minister, the palace minister of the kingdom, is the uncle of the new princess, "Kefsha Ampunsai"
After the princess gave birth to a new prince, in order to grasp the throne, she began to eradicate the royal family, not to mention the elders, the eldest sister was crowned with a felony and imprisoned in the monastery, while she was expelled from the palace.
"The Ampunsai family, if I return to the palace one day, I will definitely hang you all!"
Freitrick waited three days, and his anger increased three times as much as he had before he came.
On the way back, Freitrick joined Baron Nelly.
The baron's face was not bright, and his strong protection of Frederick made his original position in the king's heart attacked by slander, and began to decline, even if he had resisted the sword for the Viper King, but it was no match for the wind blowing by the pillow.
Freitrick noticed it, and on the way back, he secretly asked, "Isn't it going well?" Jazz?"
"I was ordered by the palace minister to carry out a border attack on Swabia and even to break into its central fortress."
"Isn't that what our mercenary groups do?"
"But this time there are only 1,000 people to support, and according to the deployment of the palace minister, it is impossible to do this without 10,000 people."
"It's the Ampunsai family again!"
Freitrick clenched his fists.
