Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 196 Old Companions (II)
"Father?" asked Fed, surprised, "isn't he a teacher?"
"Faulkner... Faulkner, yes. Eggsy seemed to be a little speechless, the current Faulkner was no longer the head of the Knights of the Iron Wall, just an ordinary teacher in the town of Louvar, at least when Fentry left his hometown, the other party was in this profession.
"Heβ" Phylla stopped talking, he didn't want to say anything about his father, after all, the mustard in his heart still existed, and the sudden appearance of an old friend he hadn't seen for many years meant that there was an incalculable trouble behind him. As soon as he thought of this, Fei De didn't want to think about it, the things that could be related to his father were probably related to the Kingdom of Sarins, and now that he was far away from the Kingdom of Salins, he still had many things to deal with.
"To put it simply, it is because of your father's relationship that you became the mercenary hero of the Theoguna Empire, and it also allowed you to be next to the chief of the general staff as a deputy staff officer and have a place in the Battle of Doret. Eggsy smiled, and what he said didn't look like drunken gibberish.
Father's relationship?Feld frowned rarely.
"Of course, the fact that you became an influential mercenary was also used by the envoy of the Kosai Kingdom, otherwise there would really be no one to lead those mercenaries who were like a basin of scattered sand at that time. β
"I didn't lead them. β
"At least you still have three mercenary groups with you," Eggsy immediately responded, "and the surviving mercenaries know your pay, so they want to follow you in the first place, rather than plotting to watch the fire from afar." β
Fidel probably understood what he meant, that it was Eggsy and his father who pushed him in the first place, "So you... Or maybe my father pushed me into this position?"
"If you can become a father one day, maybe you will understand the painstaking work of a father," Eggsy suddenly took out a piece of paper, on which were written a few of the simplest words crookedly, "This is what my three-year-old son wrote to me, hehe, so I can understand better than you." β
Feder was a little surprised, but he continued to ask, "You better explain it a little more clearly." β
Eggsy then explained that Fidel's father, Faulkner, was far away, but he learned that his son had become the head of the mercenary group and was in the midst of a civil war between the two empires. So he deliberately sent Eggsy to Fed's side, and then used his previous influence, and even his connections with some people within the Theoguna Empire, to put his son in a high position in this campaign. This way Fide's name will be remembered, and the result will help him in his future plans.
"Help, he's just a teacher now. β
"That's right, but it's likely that this identity will change in the near future. β
"Hearing you say that, you didn't tell me who you are now. Fyde began to realize that he was being used again, and this time it was his father, who was bent on becoming a knight himself. I didn't expect that being a mercenary in another country would also be used by people from afar, which really made Fei De laugh.
Eggsy looked at the moon in the sky, "I'm the squadron leader of the new Iron Wall Knights, but the specific line of troops in charge has not yet been determined, after all, it is the newly formed Knights. The iron rings on his ears fluttered in the night wind, and Fidel saw ambition and desire in the other man's eyes, no different from that of Eggesy when he was six years old.
"New Knights of the Iron Wall. β
"Of course, the old Knights of the Iron Wall have been abolished by King Byron, so," Eggesy looked at Fidel and said word for word, "so a new king is needed now, and a new king will soon be born, and the new Knights of the Iron Wall exist to protect the new king." β
It sounded terrible, could it be that his father Faulkner was going to rebel? What about Uncle Evan, who had always been loyal to King Byron, was going to be in the same calamity as other countries? All the thoughts rushed into Feid's mind in an instant, and he always reacted extremely quickly to external stimuli, which made Feide often react at the first moment of events, but also made him react too quickly.
Eggesy pulled out a medal from his clothes, the one that had been bestowed upon the Knights of the Iron Wall by Byron abroadβa diamond-shaped iron plaque.
"Your father wants his only son to be able to contribute to the rebirth of the Kingdom of Sallins in the near future, and of course, if you don't want to, Captain Faulkner has made it clear that he won't mind - because he understands you, and that you can succeed in another country will help the Kingdom of Salins in the future, after all, Captain Faulkner's goal is to bring the entire continent into the hands of the Salins. β
Fidel did not receive the medal for recognition of his father's ambitions, which was his father's thing, and he would not choose to help the other party with the so-called "Rebirth of the Kingdom of Salins". Feder had realized that he had changed something because of the push he had received from his father, and he didn't want to think about these things that were a foregone conclusion, but Feder didn't want his father to interfere with his own affairs all along. Unexpectedly, in the end, my father still found an opportunity to intervene, it seems that the Oguna Empire is still not far enough, and it needs to find a place to live without the shadow of my father.
Looking at Fidel, who neither spoke nor accepted the medal, Eggsy just smiled and took the medal back, "Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I believe that in the days to come, we can re-establish a tacit understanding, after all, we are partners." β
"Just old buddies. β
Feld did not reply, for he was not at all interested in the rebellion being planned in the kingdom of Salins or his father's other plans, and since Eggsy appeared in front of him and explained everything that had happened before, it meant that the other party would soon leave his side.
"Alright, my mission is done, and your father just asked me to inform you of what might happen. He has already guessed that you will not join us, and there will be no big reaction to what may happen in the Motherland. Maybe you think that mercenaries are the right path, but most people don't think so, and if you are stubborn, you will definitely continue to make your own choice, so I ask you a question, where do you plan to go in the future?"
Fide shook his head, "This is a matter for the future, I haven't decided yet, but I definitely won't go back to the Kingdom of Salins." β
"That's not bad, at least if anything happens in the Kingdom of Salins in the future, you don't have to see it with your own eyes," Egges said this, and couldn't help but glance back, Fidel had already noticed that the Broken Eyebrow and the Stone Axe had been hiding behind, "By the way, your Uncle Evan didn't know about your father's plan, or didn't realize that there was a bloody storm in the Kingdom of Salins that would be set off, so... So you might be able to talk to your uncle. With that, Eggsy turned and departed, and his two companions came out, and the three of them walked out of the camp together.
Feder looked at the other person's back, pondering the last words of the other party. He's found that a lot of people like to leave something confusing for last, but this time it's about Uncle Evan who cares about him the most. The last time I received a letter from Uncle Evan was in the Papal States. The other party said that the kingdom of Sallins was peaceful, but now he didn't expect that his own brother was already plotting something. Perhaps the entire continent could not escape the fate of chaos, and all ambitious people rose in this era, whether it was a republic, a kingdom, a principality, or an empire. The weapon of life that suddenly appeared in people's field of vision was just an introduction, and every person in charge of power could not avoid it, this was a whirlpool that would involve the entire continent.
Perhaps Uncle Evan would be on King Byron's side, and now he wondered which prince his father would support. I'm afraid that as Eggsy said, the kingdom of Sarins will soon be unsettled. But even so, it is still impossible for him to go back, and the next stop of the potato mercenary group is definitely not the motherland, after all, the responsibility of the country is not his own responsibility, there is no doubt about this.
When Fei De returned to his tent, Ayana was sitting quietly with the moon shield in her arms, wiping the shield with a handkerchief, and after wiping it once, she immediately washed the handkerchief with water, and wiped it again and again, as if she were a valuable treasure.
"Why haven't you rested yet?"
"Fed, where are we going from here?" asked Ayana a rare question.
Fed thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps..."
"You have to remember the promise you made to Uncle Russell. β
"Of course I remember. Fidel sat back on the bed, but Ayana had no intention of leaving. The other party just quietly placed the shield in the corner, and then sat next to him and watched Fidel as he prepared to go to bed.
"Aren't you going back to rest?"
"I received a letter from Nangus telling me that there were suspicious people scouting near the territory of the Rock Thieves, probably directed at Uncle Russell. β
Fei De had never taken off his black armor in front of Ayana, and he immediately asked, "Do you know where the other party came from?"
"They don't know, but Uncle Russell has asked us about our current situation, and he said that he doesn't want to see the Pillar Priest die of old age because of his age, but that he wants you to fulfill your promise. With that, Ayana left the tent, leaving Fidel, a little confused. Fei De didn't expect Russell to push him, but from what Ayana said, it seemed that it was time for him to start thinking of ways to grow the potato mercenary group.
Fett didn't fall asleep all night, he just lay in bed, thinking about the future of himself and the potato mercenary group. It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep from a strong drowsiness. But by the same time, new news had reached the camp, and the investigators who were going to interrogate Fed had already appeared in the camp.
