Fei and Susanna stood side by side on the small building, looking at the school ground below. There were more than a thousand mercenaries training hard, and the person in charge of training them was Kumarajiva.
At this moment, Kumarajiva looked a little dull, and his face was full of gloom, but his energy had recovered. Maybe it was for An Fei's consideration, maybe he wanted to control a force with his own hands, Kumarajiva tried his best to Chen said he hoped to form a guard battalion of about a thousand people.
Kumarajiva is a knight, so he treats his mercenaries as knights charging into battle. He requires all mercenaries to give up defense and only focus on offense. Every time the drum beats, the mercenaries must move forward with all their strength. Chop, the faster the drum beats, the faster the mercenaries attack. From An Fei's perspective, the scene is very spectacular. Two rows of sharp sword lights chase each other, reflecting each other, and the murderous intent is skyrocketing.
The mercenaries were not used to this training method at first, especially during sparring. Facing the enemy's wooden sword, they would instinctively want to parry, block, and then launch a counterattack, but Kumarajiva Gesha asked them not to avoid or block, but to keep slashing forward. This was so contradictory.
Although An Fei did not interfere with Kumarajiva's training, he did not agree with Kumarajiva's training methods. Anfei admitted that this would indeed allow the mercenaries to exert their maximum attack power and fastest speed. Attack speed, but what about casualties? The people in the Guards Battalion were all elite mercenaries personally selected by Kumarajiva. They were willing to fight for others regardless of their own safety. An Fei felt that it was too inappropriate no matter how he thought about it.
pity. He could not dissipate the enthusiasm of Kumarakusa, and since he was not a general, it was not easy for him to dictate in areas he was not familiar with, so he could only remain silent. At the same time, he made up his mind to prove himself in Kumarakusa. Before he was correct, he would not let the Guards Battalion join the battle. It was too risky and he could not afford heavy losses.
"Suzanne, what do you think?" An Fei asked softly.
"Very good. Very impressive." Susanna nodded.
After repeating an action thousands of times, the mercenaries have completely grasped the intention of Jiumokosa. Every time the drum beat sounded, they would take a step forward in an orderly manner, slashing with all their strength, and then step forward again, one step at a time. Thousands of mercenaries formed two square formations, and the sword light undulated like waves, quickly rolling to the other end of the school ground, and then echoing back.
"It's just momentum..." An Fei sighed slightly.
There is no absolute right thing in the world. What you think is correct may not necessarily be the same as yours. Others may think it is correct. In your opinion, you may be able to point out a lot of problems. Everyone has his or her own limitations. From An Fei's point of view, he is an assassin, and a very cautious assassin. He pays attention to one strike and being able to escape thousands of miles away, regardless of whether he hits or misses. Protecting yourself is the most important thing, so An Fei simply cannot agree with this almost suicidal fighting method.
"Alice is here." Susanna suddenly touched An Fei's arm.
An Fei looked down and saw Alice's hurried figure. The lines on his face suddenly tightened. He turned around and uttered one word: "Let's go!" After saying that, he jumped down from the small building. Susanna didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hesitated and jumped after An Fei.
When Alice walked up the small building, there was no one up there. Alice was stunned and rushed to the railing. When he saw An Fei, he ran towards the distance without looking back. Unable to help but feel angry, he screamed: "Sir..."
In fact, it's no wonder An Fei. Except for Alice, everyone from An Fei to the chief, deputy heads and magic instructors of each mercenary group have not really entered their roles. Although the management framework has been established, it is still far from being truly mature. Far. Whether you know it or not, there are too many tedious things to do in managing these tens of thousands of people, even to the point of being terrifying. Several mercenaries got together to drink and got into a fight over something; someone borrowed money from someone but refused to pay it back, and some simply denied that they owed the money; a mercenary just walked into the house and suddenly saw his daughter Having sex with a young man, sometimes seeing his wife performing sex drama, and eventually causing a fight; there are too many things like this, and where there are people, there will be conflicts, and the most important task of the manager is Of course, it is to resolve conflicts and quell disputes. Unfortunately, the management headed by Anfei cannot yet fully operate. After all, they have just started and are still in their infancy.
Alice can handle some things, but if the situation is serious, An Fei will need to step forward, and Alice herself has no strength, but the mercenaries believe in the strong, and they are not very willing to obey the orders of a weak woman. Some people think Alice's verdict is fair, while others firmly refuse to obey the verdict and keep saying they want to file a lawsuit. They even call their friends and gather a group of mercenaries to try to use force to get justice for themselves.
Not to mention Alice, who is the chief executive, even Ye, the head of the inspection team, is so tired that he has lost weight. The days of putting out fires and running around in the city are really unforgettable... If possible, Ye really wants to Resigned as the head of the inspection team and returned to Ozguch to work as an ordinary mercenary.
"An Fei, we are... a little too much." Hearing Alice's scream, Susanna couldn't bear it.
"Isn't this just to train her?" An Fei stopped and said seriously: "I have given her full power. There is no need to report everything to me! If this continues, she will not be able to grow up." An Fei said Fei now understands why so many people in history are willing to pay any price to seize the highest power. Power is such a good thing! At least he can find many reasons to whitewash himself, interpret his laziness as hard work, and interpret Alice's burden as exercise, so that no one can find fault with him.
At this moment, An Fei and Susanna heard familiar chatter and laughter from ahead. They turned the corner and saw that it was Chris, Riska and others. "What are you doing here?" An Fei walked away. Asked loudly.
"Waiting for Bravi." Chris smiled and said: "Anfei, will you come with us?"
"Where to go?"
"Everyone has been very busy these days. We want to get together and find a bar to drink and chat." Riska said with a smile: "And now that Bravi has too much money to spend, we want to help Help him."
Although Bravi's position is not the highest, his income in this period is much higher than that of Chris and others, because he has been following An Fei and has completed almost all C and D level tasks, and Alice stipulates , the subsidy received for missions is much higher than the daily salary, so
As a result, Bravi naturally became the target of their exploitation.
"An Fei. Let's go together." Shante laughed loudly.
"Please keep your voice down!" An Fei looked around, with a serious face, and whispered: "Who is not busy during this period? I don't object to you going to drink, but there is no need to announce it loudly, for fear that others will not know. Are you going to drink?"
Everyone looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and An Fei was right. Everyone is very busy now, and they have not made outstanding contributions to the major league. But they are in a high position and hold great power. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them. An Fei has told them several times. Let them set an example. Of course, this does not mean drinking.
"Look at Alice!" An Fei said more and more seriously: "She can't go to bed until midnight every day and gets up early in the morning. She is much more tired than any of you! But she never said hard work! Forget it. ...I won’t tell you anymore. If you want to drink, go quietly and come back quickly. There are a lot of things to deal with.”
"I know, An Fei." Feiler stuck out his tongue.
At this moment, An Fei suddenly noticed that Susanna's expression was a little strange, and immediately saw two people falling on the ground behind him, one was Bravi, and the other turned out to be Alice. Because there are many magicians in Wind and Rain Castle, and from time to time magicians fly in the city using levitation. An Fei has become accustomed to it, so although he can sense the magic power fluctuations. But he didn't pay attention, who knew it was Bravi and Alice. An Fei's face turned a little red. He originally wanted to give a lesson and then ran away immediately. There was plenty of time, at least Alice couldn't jump down from the building. But damn Bravi brought Alice here with the levitation technique, and looking at Alice's weird expression, it was obvious that she heard her righteous words.
"My lord, there is an order that must be spoken by you personally." Alice only stayed for a moment and immediately entered her role.
"Why?" An Fei was stunned.
"Because this is the first time we have executed a mercenary."
"It doesn't seem to be the first time, right?" Bravi, who was beside Alice, said in shock: "An Fei used to..."
"The past has nothing to do with the present. This is the first time since we made regulations and established laws."
"What's so serious? Must he be executed?" Chris asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency knows that he personally came forward to deal with it yesterday." Alice said softly: "A mercenary named Jupiter went to see his old sweetheart. His old sweetheart was a widow, and he saw something in the widow's house. The other man was so angry that he drew his sword and stabbed him. However, the widow's new sweetheart was also a mercenary named Mauser. He was stronger than Jupiter. Jupiter not only failed to win, but was chopped down by Mauser. He grabbed a hand and ended up causing trouble with me."
Chris and others couldn't help but frowned. This kind of dispute is the most difficult to decide. Jupiter was a little unreasonable because he was the one who took action first, but he lost another hand. Mauser seemed to be reasonable, but he The intervention of the police officer was the main reason for the conflict to break out. Even a very experienced police officer must treat such a case with caution.
"It's true... there are so many disputes in front of the widow's door." An Fei showed a wry smile. The code of the Grand Alliance was formed by copying bits and pieces here and there. It was very crude, and the mercenaries were not lacking in blood. Swords pointed at each other, such private fights occurred frequently.
In order to establish his fair and trustworthy image, Anfei was very cautious and carefully cross-examined Jupiter and Mauser, including the widow, before finally making a verdict. Although he was satisfied with the result, he wasted a lot of time trying to deduce the closest to the truth from the cross-examination, and he would never be able to do it within a few hours. There are many similar things. If An Fei needs to step in for everything, he will be exhausted to death. Besides, An Fei believes that he should focus on the entire mercenary country and cannot waste time and energy on such trivial matters.
"How was An Fei judged?" Chris asked.
"Jupiter is guilty because the widow is not his wife. They have known each other for seven or eight years. If they had wanted to marry each other, they would have been married long ago. He had no reason to hurt his companion, but after all, he had already lost one. He was punished with five lashes. Mauser was also guilty. He struck too harshly and should have at least stopped when he had the upper hand. The Lord said that he was overly defensive and was punished with 30 lashes. The widow was also guilty, but Thinking that she had no special skills to support herself and could only rely on men, and because she was too hungry recently and couldn't get enough help from Jupiter, she took the initiative to seduce Mauser. Your Excellency decided to be extra-judicial and punish her with three beatings. whip."
"Isn't An Feidi's sentence fair? Why should he be executed again?" Chris didn't understand.
"Early this morning, Jupiter and two other mercenaries sneaked into the widow's residence and killed Mauser and the widow. This was deliberate murder and inexcusable!" Alice paused: "This is our first This is the first time that a mercenary has been punished in the name of the Code, and it is also the death penalty. In order to avoid riots, I hope that your Excellency can personally execute the sentence."
"Why do you say that Jupiter killed Mauser? Caught him on the spot?" An Fei asked softly.
"I didn't catch him on the spot. Captain Ye has been busy with this matter all day today. Some mercenaries reported that they saw Jupiter sneaking out of the camp with two other mercenaries in the early morning. There were still mercenaries there. Jupiter was seen near the widow’s residence. Also, after Captain Ye’s interrogation, Jupiter also admitted his crime.”
"Then there's nothing more to say. Let's carry out the execution tonight. I'll personally oversee the execution." An Fei nodded.
"Yes." Alice responded.
At this moment, a snow beast on horseback rushed over from the end of the street. Ling jumped off the horse and said, "Sir!"
"Ling, you came back from Baishan City so soon?" An Fei was a little surprised.
"Sir, we met mercenaries coming out of Baishan City on the road and got some bad news. Long asked me to come back and report to you first." Ling said urgently: "In addition to the great swordsman Anthony in Baishan City, there are also There is a peak powerhouse, Mike, the great court magician of the Allison Empire!”
Everyone couldn't help but gasped. An Fei had set the target of conquering Baishan City first. They thought it would not be difficult, but the existence of a great magician shattered their illusions. On the battlefield, the great magician The threat posed by the swordsman is far greater than that of the great swordsman, because the former can unleash devastating forbidden spell magic!
