A piece of information with the same content but different wordings was passed out separately. After receiving the information, after being dumbfounded, some people put their hands on each other and smiled, some looked sad and sighed, and some people said: Roaring angrily, some people fell into silence for a long time.
In a secret room at the headquarters of the Glory Mercenary Group, a majestic white wolf had been knocked down, and several mercenaries were surrounding it. Without mercy, he tied the white wolf tightly with iron wires and fixed the magic-forbidden bracelets on the white wolf's limbs.
"David. Do you really want to hand him over to An Fei?" Anthony said softly.
"Yes, father." David smiled and said: "This guy came at just the right time. I have been worrying that I don't have a suitable reason to approach Master An Fei."
"Now that the mercenary country has become a coveted piece of meat, An Fei may not be the final winner. Don't you want to leave a way out for everyone?"
David paused. He slowly raised his head: "Father. Why do you want to leave a way out?"
"Because..." Anthony was speechless. This truth is obvious, but it is a bit difficult to explain why.
"Father, Marino has become a Duke now." David said slowly.
"Haha... Chris Ding and Entos deliberately talked about Marino in front of us. They just told us."
"This shows that they attach great importance to us." David smiled: "Father, the situation is unclear now, so everyone needs our support. If we wait until the situation becomes clear and we will no longer worry about choices, they Will they still need our support as much as they do now? By then, what’s the point of our joining?”
Anthony was silent. He understood what David meant, but for a man his age. Between being cautious and conservative and pioneering bravely, the former is often chosen. Young people are mostly the ones who dare to think and work hard. Because young people have an indispensable bet: time! It doesn’t matter if they fail, they can make a comeback!
"Father, don't hesitate any longer!" David said softly: "His Majesty Julande has great vision. Annexing the mercenary country is just the first step in his struggle to dominate the continent. In order to more effectively destroy the enemy, as long as we surrender now An Fei. If you are willing to serve the Mao Empire, His Majesty Youland will never treat us badly!"
"I understand what you said. Just having Marino as a role model is not enough. Yolande urgently needs more people to stand up." Anthony took a few steps back and forth: "I dare not say elsewhere, if we stand on Taking An Fei's side will have a profound impact on the situation in the mercenary country, for example...Beitu Shimen. He is very likely to keep up with us. Whether it is to join forces or form an alliance, Tao's Tiger Mercenaries Obviously not a good choice. So…”
"Father, are you saying... His Majesty Yolande can't see the role we play?"
"Youland's mind is not something we can figure out. How could we not even see this?" Anthony said with a wry smile.
"So are you worried that Julande's reward is unfair?" David smiled: "Or are you worried that we will be suppressed by Marino in the future? Father, you were once the uncrowned king of the mercenary country. I guess you are Between you and Marino, the one who is valued more by Julande is definitely you. If you can't even be fair, then you won't be a Julande who can be loved by all people, of course. We must give without reservation first. Let Yolande feels our sincerity.”
Anthony pondered for a long time, sighed, and nodded: "Well, sooner or later you will become the master of the Glory Mercenary Group. Since you want to take a gamble now, I support you." There are some words that Anthony did not say. , as long as he is alive, he is David's greatest guarantee. Even if David did something wrong. For his sake. Others will not be too harsh on David.
"Father..." David was very surprised to hear that Anthony's words meant a great undertaking.
"Go." Anthony smiled and said: "Now that you have made a choice, then go ahead and do it. When I was young, your grandfather once said that I am just a person who sticks to the rules. In you, I see that let You are gratified by your enthusiasm, maybe. You can really open a glorious chapter for the Glory Mercenary Group!"
David looked a little excited. When a person makes some achievements. Who do you want to show off to in front of the most? Relatives! For David, being praised by Anthony is undoubtedly the most important thing. He paused and said softly: "Father. Mother... you need to take care of it. Anyway. It's nonsense. It may cause unnecessary trouble to us."
"Let her struggle. Don't worry about her." Anthony shook his head.
"Father? You..."
"With her ability, she can't do anything." Anthony said lightly: "And we can also test An Fei's tolerance. If he tolerates it, it proves that he is a person who can do great things. You must think Find a way to become friends with him, if he can't tolerate it. It doesn't matter. We are joining the Major Alliance in name, but in fact we are loyal to Julande, and he will not do anything to us."
"I see."
In the Baishan City City Hall, An Fei and Chris Ding were speechless, both of them frowning. The problem of food has been bothering them for a long time, ever since they left the Shield of Light Legion. I never had a quiet life. After working hard for food all day long, and now receiving hundreds of thousands of hungry victims in Baishan City, the pressure is even heavier.
It's not that they can't bear it. But there is none at all. The country of mercenaries does not produce food. All the food was brought in from other places by merchants. Of course, the price of food in the mercenary country is several times higher than that in the place of production, and it is prone to natural disasters. Food prices are even ridiculously high. This is also the reason why the mercenaries work hard to maintain food and clothing at most. Although the Glory Mercenary Group still has some reserves. But no one dared to use it. There was a distinction between closeness and distance. First, we had to ensure that the mercenaries of the Grand Alliance and the Glory Mercenary Group had enough to eat. As for the others. We can only maintain the status quo.
In recent days, a large number of mercenaries have left Baishan City. For An Fei, these mercenaries are potential forces that can be absorbed and digested. An Fei felt very distressed, but there was nothing he could do. You can't force the mercenaries to stay and endure a life of hunger and cold, and the security environment in the city is getting worse day by day. Small-scale conflicts arise one after another, and hungry people can do anything!
Feiler and David came in chatting and laughing, although David had no chance to contact An Fei. But he became familiar with the people around An Fei, and he had a special status. In order to show respect for Anthony, he did not need to report wherever he went.
"David, why are you here?" Seeing David coming in. Chris Ding stood up with a smile.
"Your Highness. Your Excellency." David bowed slightly: "I have a spy here from Blackwater City who wants to see my father. I brought him here." Then David waved his hand and several of the Glory servants The mercenaries of the Corps dragged the white wolf in.
"Ye. I leave it to you." An Fei pointed to the chair next to him: "David. Come and sit."
"Thank you, sir." David slowly sat down and looked at An Fei and Chris Ding's expressions: "Sir, you seem to be... worried about something?"
"Because Alice is about to arrive at Baishan City." Chris Ding said with a smile.
"Alice?" David couldn't help but wonder. Teng.
"Alice is the chief executive of the Grand Alliance. All of us, including me and An Fei, must obey Alice's orders." Chris Ding said softly, highlighting the importance of Alice. It's a reminder to the Glory Mercenary Group. Even he and An Fei have to obey government orders, let alone the Glory Mercenary Group.
"Where is this Lady Alice from?"
"It turned out to be a female slave who was rescued by us by coincidence. Because of her outstanding abilities, she has been handling our government affairs."
David looked at An Fei. He was puzzled. With Anfei's current status, ability, and power. He couldn't figure out why An Fei was controlled by a female slave.
It makes sense that David couldn't figure it out. After all, An Fei has been influenced by modern civilization. It is customary for everyone to perform their duties and do their best, just like the head of state who was stopped by the sentry because he forgot to bring his pass. The system is ironclad and everyone must abide by it from top to bottom. An Fei does not want to do it. Specialization. For example, after Alice issued a ban on alcohol, An Fei immediately set an example. His actions directly affected everyone in the major leagues. An Fei is indispensable for the major league's ability to enforce orders and prohibitions in a short period of time. If he is special, then Bravi, Riska and others may also be special. Ozgucci and other group leaders will also follow and spread. The so-called Land Regulations have become a joke.
"Erlanga sent someone to deliver a letter. He has already been in contact with the people from the Fengling Mercenary Group." An Fei said slowly: "It's time to contact Beitu Shimen. Anyway, there is nothing going on here. Tomorrow Susanna and I will go to the Wind and Thunder Mercenary Regiment’s base. It will take three days. We should be able to walk back and forth.”
"Don't come here!" Chris Ding saw through An Fei's intentions immediately: "Wait until Alice arrives before leaving. It won't take more than two days." Alice's pre-war plan was clearly made. Now we don’t have food or money, so someone has to give an explanation.
"Isn't it like this?" An Fei said with helplessness on his face: "Chris Ding. You are His Royal Highness, Alice will not disregard your face."
"Then she will ignore your face?" Chris Ding chuckled: "The relationship between you and her is so ambiguous, I think..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" An Fei looked around nervously.
"Suzanne went to patrol the city, and she may not be able to come back by noon. I see you are nervous."
David heard this with little understanding. He asked tentatively: "My lord. Your Highness, I wonder what is causing you such difficulty?"
"What else is there? Food and money." Chris Ding said with a wry smile.
"If it's food. I don't have much else to do, but..." David smiled and said: "When the undead creatures attacked Baishan City, many large caravans were trapped in the city, and we took them in. There is nothing else. Money. They have no shortage of things. Although they have solved the siege now, they still don't understand the situation outside and only sent some people back. The people in charge are staying in the Glory Mercenary Group. If you are interested, you might as well go and talk to them. .”
