Volume 3 The Vortex of Strife Chapter 211 The Crisis of Fangta City (Part I)
"The regular army of Fontale City needs to be commanded by someone who is good at fighting, and in the past, a general commanded all the troops in Fontale City, but my mother, Lady Eli, found out that he had two hearts, so..."
"The general you're talking about has two hearts?"
"That's right, the general named Gu Kui has always been loyal to Fonta City, but one of his mistresses secretly found me one night with some of Gu Kui's letters to and the Rebel Order, and also told us some of Gu Kui's secret secrets. ”
Maeve tells Fett that Tower City is different from other cities, and that Lady Eli, as a lord, does not have military power. Not because Lady Eli couldn't do that, but because she didn't like killing, so she put the military power in the hands of the Gu Kui who had always been loyal to Fang Tacheng more than ten years ago. At that time, Gu Kui was only the captain of the city defense of Fangta City, and at that time, he was indeed very loyal, making the security of Fangta City very good. However, when Maevie grew up, Lady Eli wanted to take back the military power and put it in the hands of her heroic daughter, but at this time, Gu Yu, who was already a general, repeatedly shirked and put off the matter of returning the military power.
"If Fed, you can lead the Potato Mercenary Corps to Square Tower City, then you can definitely help me solve this problem!" Maeve took Fed's hand again, and this time Feder didn't break free.
"Is that why Madame Eli wanted our mercenary group to be stationed in Tower City in the first place?"
Maevie shook her head, "No, my mother is really looking forward to the Potato Mercenary Corps and Fidel you, and..." You should be able to understand, right?"
"Don't look at our regiment leader like this, in fact, he knows everything, but he's not a nerd!" Squadron Leader Jasmine walked up to Mei Fu and patted Mei Fu on the shoulder gently, and Luca also echoed loudly, as if it was not a big deal to see the excitement. Fei De didn't know why his subordinates had suddenly become acquainted with each other, but the original embarrassment was obviously eliminated by their jokes.
Mafu took her hand back, she straightened her hair and said, "The collusion between Gu Yu and the rebels has only recently appeared, and neither my mother nor I have ever suspected that he will betray us, perhaps because we want to get back the military power, so Gu Yu will do this." But now the unanimous agreement reached by the southern nobility has made the nobility of the Duchy of Mageni invincible, so... So we might be able to use the easiest way to persuade Gu Yu to surrender. ”
Would a general who had held military power for more than a decade really surrender in front of a woman? However, there was no reason to refuse Mave's invitation - first, her relationship with Count Endrida was not as good as it had been, and second, Maif had already shown that Madame Eli would reward Fidel handsomely, and that it would be easier to achieve her plan with Vittorio with the support of the regular army of Duje.
"I need to consult with my subordinates, and if I can, I want to give you an answer tomorrow. ”
Mafu didn't say much, she just nodded vigorously, she knew that Feide's character couldn't be forced.
In the evening, Fei De had already communicated with most of the captains, and most of the captains thought that they should leave Dumu City for the time being and go to Fangta City to help Mei Fu solve the problem of Gu Yu, and expand the power of the Potato Mercenary Group by the way. Moreover, Selena also suggested that Fidel should take the initiative to contact other nobles in the south of the Duchy of Mageni to prepare for future wars against the rebels, and at the same time to make Fide rise to the upper class. Selena even hinted that Feder could marry Maev, after all, this aristocratic beauty has obvious affection for Fed, and Feder is a marriageable young man, and it seems that the "high-climbing" family can make the potato mercenary group gain the support of the nobles.
Of course, Feder didn't say anything, he just regarded Maev as a good friend in his heart, and he didn't agree with Selena's statement that he was a marriageable young man, after all, a mercenary covered in scars was not suitable for marriage at any time.
"Head Fidel, that Mr. Seamus wants you to come to his room, saying he has something to discuss. The man guarding the door told Fidel. Fei De immediately changed into civilian clothes, and now he no longer has to sleep with "Black Flash", perhaps because there are other captains living in this dormitory, and these friends can give Fei De enough security.
"Mr. Heamus, are you still used to living during this time?" Fidel had allowed Heimos to walk around the city a week ago, but Heymus didn't leave the room for half a step, perhaps the other party already knew that Fede would send someone to follow him.
"Cat's Eye" let go of the cat in his arms, and the folded cat immediately jumped onto the iron cage that had been holding it before, "It's very customary, Captain Feide's hospitality is very thoughtful, this is a treatment that is absolutely not available when traveling." ”
"Mr. Seamus is blind, and he didn't expect to be a traveler. ”
"Yes, because personally, I like to listen to stories and collect them," Cat's Eye took out the worn-out parchment scrolls, placed them on the table, and patted them gently, "Especially these scrolls that contain magical knowledge, they contain many more stories than you imagined, Captain Fede, do you want to hear them?"
Fidel nodded, but he immediately realized that Simus couldn't see his movements, "Sir, please. ”
Cat's Eye tells Fid a story that has been prepared for a long time, and it's a story about the search for magic. About 700 years ago, a young man with a vision of magic grew up in a rich village. He was called a fool by the villagers because he decided to become a magician after seeing the books about magical deeds, and claimed that he would make the flowers of magic bloom again, and let the continent regain the power of magic, which he could use to build the world. He ignored the cynicism of the others, and the young man, having made enough money, began to travel in search of traces of magic.
At that time, the world had turned magic into a legend of ancient times, so the young man could only search for magic based on rumors. Later, after many twists and turns, he finally found an old man who had lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and the old man was not unhappy because of the sudden appearance of the young man, but he was very happy to meet the other party, because the old man was facing a big problem, and only a strange young man could help him.
Later, the young man really learned the magic as he wished, and although the magic was not sharp magic, it was already a world that ordinary people could not touch.
"It's not an interesting story. Feder replied lightly.
"Cat's Eye" changed the ending of the story, but he didn't tell Fed, "So what's interesting for you, Captain Fed?"
The other party's question stumped Field. Feder seriously looked back on his life, as if there really was nothing very interesting worth mentioning, even reading books and practicing martial arts, which could only be said to be things that he did not hate and used to kill time. After all, my father had wanted to discover his talent many times in his childhood, and he insisted on stuffing himself with various skills, and he had a huge rebellious psychology at that time.
"It's fun to be alone, and it's okay to read some interesting books. ”
"And are you interested in magic?"
Feder was stunned, he looked at the man with his eyes bound in rags, did he really have magical power in his body, or was he just a magic stick with a useless scroll in his hand?
"Cat's Eye" has already asked Ayana the same question, and the reason why he did it was all because of the predicament he was facing. In this half month, "Cat's Eye" not only lost his personal freedom, but also lost the most relied on thing in his life - magic. The "cat's eye" without magic is even more useless than ordinary people, and even the perception ability to merge with blood becomes very weak, which is a very dangerous situation for a person who has been battling magic all his life.
And one night, "Cat's Eye" recalled an incident about his master. At the beginning, the old mage wanted to find other magic heirs after his vitality was greatly damaged, and at that time, because his eyes were too weird, he often scared other children and was thrown into the mountains by the orphanage "Cat's Eye" ran into the old mage. For the first time, "Cat's Eye" met a person who did not dislike his natural eye disease, and that person also gave "Cat's Eye" the name Seamus, and "Cat's Eye" was still an ignorant teenager that year.
Later, when the old mage recalled this past, he once confessed to "Maoyan" - he told "Maoyan" that people will always meet another person who has suffered the same thing in the most difficult time of their lives. And the person you meet at that time is often the person who can help you solve the problem, and you will also help him. Cat's Eye didn't understand or even believe it at the time, but now that his magic power was gone, he couldn't think of any way to recover his magic - in fact, he wanted to go to Golia, but his stubborn pride quickly dispelled it. So the current "Cat's Eye" can only understand some situations with the two people he comes into contact with and look for possible solutions, and one of them is this mercenary.
"I'm very interested in magic, and I'm willing to learn it if it's real. Feder remembered the Battle of Doret, the white bolts of lightning.
"Cat's Eye" clearly sensed that Fidel wasn't lying, while another possible candidate, Ayana, was...
Just as "Cat's Eye" was about to respond, Mei Fu pushed the door directly, with an anxious look on her face, "Field... You must help me!Fangta City has been captured by the Gu Kui!"
