Volume 3 The Vortex of Strife Chapter 91 First in the City
Within a few days, Count Endrida of Dulog City personally sent his men to the dormitory of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, holding an agreement about the major representatives in Dutree City, and asked Fei De to sign it himself.
The content of this agreement is probably an agreement with the Potato Mercenary Group, such as food supply, weapon maintenance and supply, war horses, recruitment matters, and mercenary missions. Most of the agreements were made in good faith, as the Potato Mercenary Group had become the largest mercenary group in Dumu City, so all parties were willing to negotiate business with the Potato Mercenary Group. As early as the past, when the Potato Mercenary Group was in the Holy Light City, large and small matters had to be handled by Fed and Kesi together, and although those trivial matters were not difficult, they were also very troublesome. Later, after Reeves arrived, it made it much easier for Fidel, and when the short merchant Vittorio became the deputy leader, the potato mercenary group would not suffer in this regard, and they could get the best service at the lowest price.
Now the person in charge of the Mercenary House will also send personnel every morning and evening to deliver some mercenary tasks to the Potato Mercenary Group for Fei to choose from. Fidel had assigned these small tasks to a few captains and let them choose to accept them at their discretion. For example, some tasks such as escorting caravans and protecting nobles only require a small number of mercenaries, some tasks that capture beasts and assist the inhabitants require very few people, and small tasks such as debt collection will also be accepted, and many mercenaries are idle anyway.
Now it is the autumn harvest season, and Dumu City also coincides with a bumper harvest this year, many mercenaries have been invited to harvest grain together, and the potato mercenary group has also sent people. Feder originally thought that his subordinates would be resisted by those peasants, but he didn't expect that with the help of Vittorio, Newt and Herman's "joint efforts", the notoriety of the potato mercenary group was really not so stinky. As long as you don't loudly claim that you are a mercenary in front of the other party to fight against the Iron Ore Mountain Range, you won't be scolded by those peasants.
It is worth mentioning that in this important city with more than 100,000 residents, there is only one mermaid mercenary group that is permanently stationed here in this important city where the reputation and number of mercenaries can be compared to the potato mercenary group. The leader of the Mermaid Mercenary Regiment is called Dade, a middle-aged female mercenary named the Mermaid Mercenary Regiment due to the fact that her legs and skin resemble fish scales. With more than 1,000 people, this mercenary group is well-known in the Three Duchyes, but it is far less powerful than the potato mercenary group that participated in the Battle of Dorett - the two mercenary groups that survived that battle were combined into one, which greatly increased the strength of the potato mercenary group.
Dade had not met with Fed, and the other party's mercenaries were also stationed on the other side of Dumu City, and it had been more than two months since the two mercenary groups had not violated the well water. The subordinate of the Count of Endrida told Fidel that the head of Dade was present when the multi-party agreement was being drawn up, but the other party did not seem to care about these agreements that were more favorable and convenient for the potato mercenary group.
Although Fei De doesn't like to talk too much with others, he still has some ways to deal with them, and if the other party comes to the door, then he will still treat him politely.
"Do you think that Dade, the leader of the mermaid mercenary group, will be targeted by the rebels?" Luca asked Feld and Patrick after the Earl's men had happily left with the signed multi-party agreement.
"It's hard to say, we're not familiar with that mercenary group," Patrick opened the roster of mercenaries in the Principality of Mageni, which was sent by the person in charge of the mercenary house in Dumu City, "The head of the regiment Dade is a female mercenary in her forties, her husband and children are ordinary people, and the family lives in the city, so she can be regarded as the head snake here." But they don't seem to be hostile to us, even if we are above theirs. β
Every city will have a local mercenary group, and the potato mercenary group has only begun to slowly integrate into the Dumu City until now. Signing a multi-party agreement is the first step, and trying to establish a partnership with the mercenary group here is the second step. When they were in the City of Light, the mercenary group there was both hostile and benevolent, but in the end, the Potato Mercenary Group showed everyone that they had the strength to become the most powerful mercenary group in the city.
Fei De clearly knew that although the number and reputation of the mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Group had risen now, there was still a little gap compared to the Mermaid Mercenary Group, which had been born and raised here and had taken root for many years. Moreover, the nobles of Dumu City chose their foreign mercenary group to do that kind of "dirty work", and they would also take into account the influence of the mermaid mercenary group in the local area.
As soon as they heard that Fidel had confirmed the signing of the multi-party agreement, the captains and Reeves all came to Fidel's room one after another to congratulate Fidel. Although their reputation has been affected by the previous mission in the Iron Ore Mountains, most of them hope to be able to put down roots here and strengthen themselves in the Duchy of Mageni, and over time, the Potato Mercenaries have begun to suffer from so many vicious rumors.
Noor: "From now on, we will be the number one mercenary group in the City of Dumu, just like the servant mercenary group in the City of Holy Light, we will definitely have a lot of money!"
"Money must be indispensable, and thanks to the efforts of Reeves and Vittorio, the price of these horses and equipment has been reduced so much. Selena smiled and agreed.
Nur: "Since there is more money and things are cheaper, then we can continue to expand the scale?! Why don't we recruit enough people to recruit 3,000 people?"
Reeves shook his head: "We can't recruit that many troops now, and Dumu City is not a megacity, if there are too many people, there will be a surplus problem." β
Deputy Commander Vittorio was still on leave and did not return to witness the first steps of the Potato Mercenaries taking root in Dutim City, but Fidel knew that he had a part to do.
"That's good, Field!" Squadron Leader Jasmine was unceremonious, and walked directly to Field's side and patted Field's head, "I was on an equal footing with you at the beginning, but fortunately, I have a unique vision and have added our Pear Blossom Mercenary Group to the Potato Mercenary Group, look! We are getting stronger and stronger now." β
Feder didn't mind someone he trusted being close to him, and he nodded in response, "Yes, Captain Jasmine's support was important at the beginning. β
The delighted crowd began to plan how to celebrate their success, with some captains proposing to hold a carnival in the camp, while others suggested that all mercenaries be rewarded with bounties. Fett did not join in the discussion, saying that all the celebrations were fine, but there was no need to be too extravagant, after all, they were now hostile to the rebels of the Duchy of Magini, and that difficult tasks and dangerous situations could arise at any time.
"Captain, this is a great joy, if Captain Ayana..." Winoti felt regret as soon as she said Ayana's name, and the other captains reacted very quickly, and instantly pulled away from the topic.
Feder didn't respond, he just crossed his fingers, propped himself on the table with his elbows, and then propped his chin on the back of his hand, quietly watching the various captains who were dancing in discussion.
In the evening, Fed also heard another good news - the lord of Fontale City, Lady Eli, sent 100,000 gold coins to the Potato Mercenary Group! The envoy of Fontale City who sent the gold coins said that the Iron Ore Mountain Range was also a problem in Fontale City, and Miss Maev had left there safely under the protection of the Potato Mercenary Group, so the 100,000 gold coins should be regarded as Field's due reward. Fed remembered that Reeves had brought him 50,000 gold coins from the Lunar Shield Mercenary Regiment, and at that time, for the Potato Mercenary Regiment, which only had more than 200 people, 50,000 gold coins was an astronomical amount. And now that hundreds of thousands of gold coins have been credited, it is estimated that the potato mercenary group will earn more gold coins in the future, but a trace of uneasiness has arisen in Feide's heart, and Feide doesn't know what the reason is.
"Captain, you haven't slept yet?" Lukka stood outside the door of Fide's room, and Nur was just about to take the messenger of Fontale City away.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Lukka looked at Nur and the messenger before he said, "I wanted to give it to the regiment commander tomorrow." Lukka walked slowly towards Fid and carefully took out a letter, and Noor playfully picked up the messenger's clothes, and the gesture of seeing off the guest was a little rude.
The "Severed Leg Project" has begun, and the Assassins have been dispatched by the leader of the rebel armyβthe first words that come to mind.
