There was no snow in Solstice today, and as soon as Xia Wei got off the carriage with Tartaglia, he heard the sound of neat footsteps not far away.

Following the sound, one could see countless Fatui soldiers standing in a large square, divided into different phalanxes.

"Over there, the man with the hood and cloak is the debt handler, the woman in the blue dress with her eyes covered is the lady of the mirror, and the woman with the lantern is a warlock of the various elements..."

Childe explained a lot to Xia Wei at one time, and it was not until he introduced all the troops that he took Xia Wei to the front of the team.

This is a tall and burly man wearing a silver-black helmet who can't see his face clearly, this is the "captain" Capitano that Xia Wei saw at the last meeting.

He was a man who took glory very seriously.

Yesterday, I heard Tartaglia introduce that Xia Wei originally thought that he should be easier to contact, but now it seems that this is not the case.

As soon as the two arrived, Capitano greeted Tartaglia, but ignored him.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Tartaglia seemed to have thought of something, he leaned over to Xia Wei's side and whispered: "I forgot, the captain may be dissatisfied with your step into the executive seat, in his opinion, you don't have any honor on you, you are not worthy of virtue, and then let me talk about it, don't make him angry." ”

Xia Wei nodded when he heard this, an old-fashioned man like Capitano, who paid great attention to honor/seniority, had seen a lot in the company in his previous life.

Tartaglia laughed awkwardly, then came to Capitano's side and said with a smile: "Captain Capitano, I'm here today to bring the newcomer to apply for his own soldiers. ”

Capitano tilted his head slightly, and he said with a cold face: "Hmph! I'm afraid that all the honors of all my soldiers here are above him, right? What qualifications does he have to lead troops? ”

But it seems that in order to give Tartaglia some face and not embarrass him, Capitano still made concessions.

"Tell me what you're asking, newcomer." Capitano looked at Xia Yu and said in a deep voice.

Xia Wei could hear the dissatisfaction in Capitano's tone, but he didn't care, "I want soldiers who know how to protect themselves." ”

Capitano seemed a little stunned, and he asked repeatedly, "Say that again." ”

"I want soldiers who know how to protect themselves and who know how to value their lives." Xia Wei said as he looked directly at Capitano.

Capitano burst out laughing uncontrollably, looked at all the soldiers present and said loudly:

"Your new executive wants to be a coward, you want to be his soldier, you want to be the kind of guy who throws away his glory and is not even a rat? If you want to, you will be out of the queue right away! ”

The atmosphere on the field was very quiet, no one moved, and no one wanted to be Xia Wei's cloth.

"Listen up, boy! I don't have the kind of person you need here! Not everyone is like you," Capitano retorted in a serious tone.

Xia Wei ignored his scolding, but looked at the Fatui soldiers present and said loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I know people don't agree with what I just said, and maybe some people are laughing at me in their hearts right now, but I still have to make it clear!

The warrior I want is not a coward! In my opinion, everyone here can first come into contact with the whole world as a "human" before becoming a warrior! Instead of being reduced to a cold and merciless machine! ”

Xia Wei wanted to continue, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Capitano, "Enough! It's just nonsense! The soldiers of Solstice never needed those things! These superfluous feelings will only become a burden to the soldiers!

Today! Over here! All of them here! No one will follow you! ”

Tartaglia looked at Capitano, who was so angry that he was about to make a move with Xia Wei, and was about to step forward to appease him, but saw that three people came out of the huge military formation one after another.

A Thunderhammer striker from the Fatui Advance Team, a Thunder Warlock, and a Firebolt Guerrilla.

Tartaglia looked at them in surprise, and Capitano glared at them directly.

"Bastard! How do you do this? Get back into the line! ”

The three soldiers lowered their heads and did not speak, nor did they go back, while Xia Wei looked at Capitano, "According to the agreement, I will take them out of here, and from now on, they will be my subordinates." ”

Capitano laughed angrily, "Get out, get out!" The timid ones should stay together! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tartaglia touched Xia Wei with his elbow, "You take them first, and I will persuade the captain." ”

Xia Wei nodded, "Come with me, follow me from today onwards." ”

He left the training square with the three of them, and as he left, he noticed that the soldiers present were looking at him and the three soldiers with contempt.

Out of the training ground and came to the empty space, Xia Wei first introduced himself: "My name is Xia Wei, the executive officer 'apprentice', I will be your boss in the future, you can slowly understand the excess in the future, and now it is your turn to introduce yourself." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and the first was Thunderhammer Vanguard to introduce himself.

"My name is Kolya. Schneitzwich, a member of the Ninth Company of the Fatui, is here to offer his allegiance to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Apprentice. ”

This was followed by the firecracker guerrillas, still in formatted speeches

"My name is Nikolai. Schneitzwich, also a member of the Ninth Company, is here to show his allegiance to Her Majesty the Empress and her apprentices. ”

In the end, it was the turn of the Thunder Warlock

"I... Katarina. Schneitzwich... Sorry, I made a mistake... Katarina. Schnetzfna, a member of the Ninth Company, is loyal to Her Majesty the Empress and her apprentices. ”

"Schinnertz?" Xia Wei asked with some curiosity.

Nikolai took the lead and explained: "It's like this... Orphans who grew up in the "House of the Fireplace", in the Solstice Country, male orphans are given the surname of Schneitzvitch, and female orphans are given the name of Schneitzvna. ”

Hearing the words "Fireplace House", Xia Wei inexplicably thought of the orphanage of the "servant".

"Is the director of your orphanage Arechino?" Xia Wei asked.

Nikolai nodded repeatedly, "That's right! ”

"I see... Can I see why you chose to come with me? Xia Wei continued to ask.

This time it was Kolya who answered

"Because the three of us have a good relationship, and we are afraid that we will be transferred to a different wing in the future, so..."

Kolya was interrupted in the middle of her sentence by Katarina, "We... It's a coward, the task assigned by the captain is too dangerous. ”

"No, I'm the only coward, I came out of the team first... They just came out with me. Nikolai's face was full of apologies.

Looking at the nervous appearance of the three of them, Xia Wei smiled with relief, "What should I do, don't be nervous, follow me like other executives, I don't have any particularly dangerous tasks that you need to do, just relax." ”
