"Coach Frederick! It's you! How did you end up here? ”

It was Klose's voice, and it seemed a little unexpected.

The lord looked at the burning wooden building and came to Klose and Frederick.

Frederick had taken off his helmet and looked to be in his fifties, but he still looked strong and his eyes were piercing.

The two Metenheim had already begun to get married, and Klose knew Frederick well, and he could even offer an introduction to the lord.

"My lord, Mr. Frederick is a member of the Mettenheim Death Squad, a respected instructor whom I have been mentored by in my service."

Klose seemed to have a lot of respect for the veteran, but Leon felt that Frederick seemed a little hesitant.

"Fredery, how did you end up under Forscher?"

Frederick is still a bit well-known in Metenheim.

He was a professional soldier, a veteran of the Standing Army of Mettenheim for half his life, and one of the trainers of the Mettenheim Swordsmen.

As a member of the death squad, he had a high status in the army.

Unlike Klose, who worked as mercenaries to earn a living, Frederick came to Pander with a mission.

A year earlier, as his hometown of Mettenheim (formerly Isemble Dwighenberg) had fallen into famine and had been invaded again by the Buckley Empire, he and his legion commander had been sent to Pander on a trade mission as an envoy.

But I don't know if the people of Mettenheim all have the negative attribute of 'easy to fall into the sea', anyway, Frede, like Klose, also suffered a shipwreck on the Pander continent.

However, it was not in Fields that he encountered pirates, but rather in a storm off the coast of the Bacchus Empire in the south.

The envoys had planned to land at the Bacchus Empire's Imperial Harbor, but the day before they were due to arrive, the fleet was derailed by a hurricane, and their ships shattered into planks in the rough seas.

After a whole day of drifting on the sea, Frederick finally landed in the bay near Marasburg in the Bacchus Empire with a handful of Metenheim soldiers.

They lost most of their equipment, lost all their belongings, lost supplies, and were exhausted.

This was tragic enough, but the team was already in a desperate situation, and just after landing, they were attacked by the Snake Worshippers - they landed near the lair of a group of Snake Worshippers.

Frederick's envoys were scattered by a sudden attack by a large group of Serpent worshippers, but fortunately, he was a skilled martial artist, fighting and fleeing along the way, killing all the Serpent cultists who were chasing him, and barely escaped.

He didn't know where the rest of his comrades had fled.

Or, perhaps, he was the only one who survived.

The troops were wiped out, the ship was wrecked in a hurricane, and he was penniless, not even armoured - he had already thrown it away after the hurricane.

There was no way back for him.

The only thing left is the sword in his hand, and a wealth of combat skills.

He has become a money-hungry mercenary who takes on any task - for an old swordsman who has been driven to a dead end, nothing else matters, he wants to make money, he wants to complete the mission given to him by the motherland!

From Bacchus to the Lion Realm, he has been running in the bustling cities of this continent, taking on high-value tasks in a greedy way, and even some black jobs that violate his own moral principles.

Because Frederick has never forgotten his mission - he is a soldier, his hometown is in the midst of war and famine, and he must bring back food for his country!

But half a year later, in October, during the harvest season, he was almost in despair.

Because he is not a nobleman.

It is not difficult for a skilled swordsman to make a living as a mercenary in the Pander Continent.

But no matter how greedy Frederick was, it was difficult for him to save enough money to buy food in a short period of time, and as a commoner, it was impossible for him to get the nobles to sell large quantities of food to him.

It wasn't until half a year ago that he met Forscher.

When he met Forcher, Frederick was borrowing wine at a tavern in Lion Lake City.

At that time, Forcher already had a large number of people around him.

There were pirates, there were thugs, and there were a few other soldiers, more than three hundred.

Forcher had only spoken to him for a few words, and probably only heard the name clearly, and hired Frederick. And promised that in another six months, he would be provided with a large amount of grain in the next harvest season.

After learning that Forcher was the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke of Lake Lion, Frederick felt as if he saw hope.

In order to complete the mission, Frederick became Forscher's bodyguard and followed the big brother of the underworld to many places.

Lion Lake City, Mist Cage City, Cliff Rock Bay, Fall Bay, Raven City...... Forcher took him to many big cities, all the way to the big cities in the north, all the way to the port of Changge in the Raven Kingdom.

In Frederick's memory, the first thing Forschel went to was the taverns of that city whenever he went to it......

But most of the time Forcher was disappointed – he seemed to be looking for someone or something, but found almost nothing.

In the port of Changge, Frederick saw Forcher's particularly disappointed and depressed appearance, and also saw that the bastard had finally gone from normal to brutal.

Frederick said that Forcher spent several days searching the entire port of Changge, inside and out, until he found nothing, and then kept yelling: "Where's the treasure chest! Why is there no treasure chest anymore? ”

After this, the bastard's temper became worse and worse, and his attitude towards people became worse and worse.

If he wanted something, such as supplies or women, Forcher also began to send people to rob them, often even burning villages or killing people for fun.

These dishonorable practices led to a large number of soldiers leaving the bastard, but many more thieves and thugs joined Forschel's ranks.

As a soldier, Frederick naturally could not accept such a way, he advised and threatened, but to no avail.

He also tried to rectify the discipline of Forscher's motley army, but all he got was a scolding and a blank look - Forschel himself had no self-control, and those bandits and the underworld naturally did the same, and this kind of army that was rotten from the root could not be trained at all.

Later, Forcher just used him as a bodyguard - the bastard said more than once: "I didn't expect the coaching ability to be useless?" If I knew that you old thing was useless, I shouldn't have spent so much money to hire you, and I had to put a lot of food on it......"

Frederick was of course aggrieved, but he didn't defend himself and endured it.

He has a mission, every time he hears about food, he thinks of the famine in his hometown, and half a year is not long, he just wants to endure until that time and leave with food.

In fact, before he met Forscher, Frederick also knew that Pande's noble children behaved, in fact, most of them were similar, and Forscher's evil deeds were not too special.

The last big city that Forcher went to was the city of Dawn.

I don't know what news Forcher got from the tavern in Dawn Furnace City, but since then he has stopped running around, but has brought people back to Lion City, and sent many pirates everywhere to find a ruin.

Then, in the Lion City, Forcher meets Sarah.

After only meeting each other and learning Sarah's name, Forcher vowed to 'get her his hands on her'—these were the exact words of Forscher.

Maybe it's the power of love, but Frederick has never seen anyone fall in love with a woman so quickly.

Of course, Frederick also felt that with Sarah's appearance, it was normal for Forcher to fall in love at first sight.

Probably just because Sarah was an aristocrat, Forcher didn't go straight to it as usual.

But Forscher's approach was not much different from that of Mingbao - he first asked Sarah to be invited to his home to perform singing and dancing for two days, and then he showed love to Sarah, saying that he would marry her, and he didn't care whether Sarah wanted it or not.

After Sarah explicitly refused, Forcher unilaterally declared Sarah his fiancée – and Sarah fled.

Forcher lost his temper for a long time, saying 'how could she run away without a quarrel' and 'I will always recruit her again in the tavern', and his temperament became more and more tyrannical, and his behavior became more and more unbearable.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

However, there was no follow-up to the forced marriage of the bard, because Forcher's father, Duke Alma, had the bastard go to the city of foggy cage to participate in the athletic tournament at this time.

In the arena, Frederick was injured in order to save Forschel, who did not know the height of the sky, and had to temporarily recuperate.

However, the bastard did not win the championship, he broke his ankle and, like Fredery, had to recuperate at Fieldsway.

They stayed in Fogcage City for a short time.

However, even with his injuries, Forcher continued to struggle.

Barely able to move, Forsher took him to Roaring Bay and robbed a Buckley merchant - the only thing Frederick did under Forcher that he willingly did.

Mettenheim was facing a second invasion of Barkley, and the robbery of Buckley was supposed to be in the eyes of the Mettenheim, and Buckley's ocean-going merchant ships were not mere trading ships in their own right.

After snatching a musket from the Buckleys, along with some gunpowder and buckshot, Forschel began to call himself the son of prophecy, and his temper became more and more eccentric, and he was accustomed to killing people at every turn, robbing caravans or villagers, and the like.

Frederick clearly heard Forcher say, "It's good that this treasure chest does exist...... But why can't I find it in Changge Port? ”

He didn't know what Forscher's treasure chest was, and in fact most of the time he didn't know what Forcher was talking about.

At this time, the war between the Lion Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire began.

Forschel was just an illegitimate child, and a civilian would not go to war.

However, taking advantage of the relative emptiness of the villages during the war, he had his men loot many small villages—even those in his father's Lion Lake City precinct.

This is probably for the sake of robbery.

Of course, probably for the girls of the village......

Maybe for something else – Frederick had heard Forscher say that he wanted to 'make some refugees' in order to 'get the job done'......

But Frederick didn't understand what kind of mission would require 'making refugees'?

Are there missions released by the Red Brotherhood?

It is also possible that he knew that Forcher was the patron of the Red Brotherhood.

The endless robbery, murder, rape, and plunder lasted for two or three months, but fortunately Forcher kept Frederick with him as a bodyguard, so that the veteran did not kill innocent people with his own hands.

But Forcher didn't seem satisfied, and he kept muttering, "Why can't soldiers be upgraded...... Why can't you see a bandit bringing refugees out......"

Frederick didn't know what Forcher meant by soldier upgrades, but he could understand that he was probably referring to an increase in combat effectiveness or something.

But without changing equipment and arranging training, how can a group of bandits get any improvement?

And, as a veteran of decades in the military, Frederick knew very well that how could a bandit run around with a refugee?

The bandits are only there to plunder, and even if they want to take people, they will only take away the girls in the village, just like Forscher's own style.

But by this time, Frederick had no longer persuaded - he could not stand what Forcher was doing, he felt that Forcher was definitely not a prophetic child, and he only wanted to leave this dishonorable madman.

But Forcher once again stabilized him with grain – the harvest was approaching, and soon a large amount of wheat would ripen.

After that, Forscher, who could not find the so-called 'refugee', still seems to have found the so-called ruin, but he found almost nothing in this ruin that he spent so much effort on......

In the end, Foucher, who was so disappointed that he scolded him, led the team to the vicinity of the Gatu steppe, saying that the Gatu people were some kind of 'experience pack', and he wanted to train a large army to dominate Pande......

Frederick didn't understand what the XP pack was, and he didn't think Forschel had the ability to unify the continent, but they did encounter the Catu.

Then Forscher's motley army was taught a hard lesson by the Cato - a motley army of nearly two hundred men was easily routed by a Cato cavalry of less than a hundred.

Had Frederick not stopped his pursuers with one man and one sword, Forsher would have died at the hands of the Catu.

But when Forcher was so frightened, he was still muttering words like "they didn't rush" or "how could they be so strong".

After that, Forscher, who had lost most of his manpower, finally stopped wandering, and he restrained his temper, muttering all day long, 'This is not right, it's different,' and then saying that he wanted to 'farm and grow'.

He did find the farm and got a lot of grain during the harvest season.

But the way he obtained the food was very inhumane - Forcher directly led the men to slaughter the farm and occupy it.

In any case, there are hundreds of thousands of pounds of grain that have just been harvested, and if they can be transported back to Metenheim, it will be enough to tide thousands of people.

Forcher also said that Frederick could get the grain away, and he seemed to be finally starting to make good on his promise.

For the next few days, Forcher seemed quiet, and had been studying how to make muskets—but he had pirates left in the underworld, these guys were uneducated, and Forcher himself didn't even know how steel was made.

But Frederick was unable to solve the problem of transporting grain...... He didn't have that many wagons, he didn't have boats, he couldn't carry this grain!

Just when he was at a loss, Leon brought someone here.

Leon had been quietly listening to Frederick's account of his experience, with no expression on his face.

But in my heart, there was already a storm - this Focher...... He knew that there were treasure chests in Changge Harbor, and he knew that there were musket bullets in Xiaoxiao Bay!

In the game, Changge Harbor does have a treasure chest, and there is a dragon's tear in the chest, which is the easiest dragon tear for players to obtain. However, the crate was probably found by Alaric of the Drunkard Regiment.

And one of the boats in Roaring Bay also has a treasure chest with a pack of musket bullets inside. The boat was apparently the one that had been robbed by Forscher.

Forschel goes to the tavern first every city he goes to - it's clear that he's looking for a companion in the game!

In the game, NPC companions will all appear in the tavern, and players will always go to the tavern first.

But Leon already knew that anyone would appear anywhere, and there weren't so many partners in the tavern, so there were a lot of right and wrong......

Recruited partners will quarrel due to their different personalities, which will cause some partners to leave the party.

And two days after Forschel 'recruited Sarah into the team', Sarah ran away because he was forced to marry, so he would say, 'Why did you leave without a fight'.

He wants to force Sarah to marry, and he is probably just trying, because this is not possible in the game, but many players have had this idea......

As for the ruins of the Griffin Knights' residency that Forcher has been looking for - it is a well-known relic quest in the game, which requires the player to find a large number of refugees and supplies to complete the quest of 'rebuilding the ruins', and after completing the quest, they can obtain a hidden Knights station.

In the game, it is a private territory like a safe house, and it cannot be attacked.

But if you think about it on your knees, you can know that there is nothing in the real world that will not be attacked......

He looted the villages, presumably to prepare 'refugees' and other 'quest items' in order to complete the ruins mission, and probably wanted to 'level up' by the way.

In the game, as long as the troops gain enough experience, they can level up, and they will directly change their outfits after upgrading; And the Coaching skill automatically allows soldiers to gain experience.

But the reality is that even if you have coaching skills, you have to arrange training. Soldiers can only be promoted through training and a complete change of equipment, and this is the case with the Lord's troops.

He says that the Cato are experience packs - which they do in the game, after all, most of the enemies in the game only charge mindlessly.

But the lord has fought against the Catu, and he clearly knows that the Gatu, who are good at riding and archery and fighting to the death, are not easy to deal with, and they have a strong ability to execute tactics!

This Forcher is the ...... of this game

Gamer!

Yes, only the player will have this kind of thinking logic, and only the player will know this and do these incredible things.

It's no wonder that Duke Alma likes this bastard, probably Forcher is consciously maintaining his 'favorability' with the 'powerful lord' just like in the game.

Forscher's lame performance in the Fogcage City Arena may have been the thinking of a player - he probably didn't think he would get hurt in the Arena at the time, right?

But how can reality be the same as in the game......

Moreover, Forcher was afraid that he had made one mistake - he was probably a player, but what about a player?
