"Xin Pella, what's going on with these people?" An Fei asked in a low voice while looking at the female swordsmen on the school field in the distance.
"Sir, you don't know? I told you!" Ximpela replied in surprise.
"Told me? When did you tell me?"
"Just a few days ago, His Highness Chris Ding..."
"Oh...you mean Chris Ding." When Ximpera mentioned Chris Ding, An Fei immediately remembered that Chris Ding had told him at that time that there were always a lot of inconveniences for male mercenaries to protect Alice. Susanna and Ximpera couldn't accompany Alice all the time, so he wanted to set up a personal guard composed entirely of women. An Fei thought that Chris Ding would choose from the major leagues, and when he saw those strange female swordsmen, he Without associating the two things together, he paused and asked, "Where do these swordsmen come from?"
"Sir, there are too many mercenaries who have defected to us these days, and they are all strong ones selected from among them."
"More? Now is just the beginning." Anthony smiled: "No one understands the thoughts of those mercenaries better than me. In the past, the mercenary country was controlled by four super mercenary groups. They united with each other and intrigued each other, so Those small and medium-sized mercenary groups have left enough room for survival, but it is different now. Smart people can see that joining the big alliance is their only way out, and the sooner they join, the better for them, otherwise they will have to Leaving the mercenary country."
An Fei nodded. He understood what Anthony meant: "Ximpela. Want to use them to form Alice's personal guard? Are you kidding me?"
"I told Lady Alice that we don't know their background, nor do we know their purpose of joining the Major Alliance. If they are allowed to serve as personal guards, they may cause trouble."
"As long as you understand." An Fei said slowly: "What did Alice say?"
"Lady Alice said she has a way."
"What does this mean?" An Fei frowned.
"Sir, I don't know either."
"Forget it, I'll ask her myself later." An Fei pondered for a moment: "Xin Pella, that woman who always gives you trouble... do you know her?"
"Aren't you doubting her, sir?"
"No, usually. Spies know how to keep a low profile. Try not to attract other people's attention. A woman who causes trouble like this cannot be a spy at all."
"Your Excellency is right." Ximpera said softly: "I know her. Her name is Midov. She used to be the leader of the God of War Mercenary Group. She had an entanglement with us because of the mission, and in the end she even made a move. She is a high-level swordsman, and her strength is very good. But she suffered several losses in succession, because at that time..." Ximpera hadn't finished her words yet. He suddenly paused and his face turned a little pale.
An Fei patted Xinpera on the shoulder. He knew what Xinpera was going to say next. Manlin was still there at that time. Xinpera and Manlin joined forces. Of course, Midov was not an opponent. It seemed that Xinpera had not yet Struggling out of old wounds: "A female mercenary group is called the God of War. Isn't it too hot?" An Fei deliberately changed the subject.
"Haha... This is normal." Anthony smiled and said: "The weaker the mercenary group, the more I think of a loud name, the one who protects the invincible master. It sounds scary, some mercenary groups are less than ten. As for me, I’m just making people laugh for nothing.”
"That's true." Ximpera pursed her lips and smiled.
"But your name is really good, sir."
"Me?" An Fei was stunned.
"Yes." Anthony nodded: "Big Alliance! One big character reflects your lofty ideals, and two characters, Alliance, expresses your all-inclusive mind. It seems ordinary, but it has far-reaching meaning!"
"Lord Anthony, if I didn't know you very well, I would have thought you were deliberately mocking me." An Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "I just picked up this name casually because I was too lazy to spend energy on the name."
"If it was intentional, it would be contrived." Anthony must continue to flatter him to the end: "Only from these willful actions can we truly see a person's character."
An Fei was defeated. He had to change the subject again and asked knowingly: "Xin Pela, is that Midov deliberately causing trouble for you because of past conflicts?"
"Yes." Ximpera nodded.
"This is not the answer anyway. They should sharpen their spirit." An Fei frowned.
"Sir, do you really want to train them yourself?" Ximpera asked.
"yes."
"Sir, you will have a hard time."
"Hard work? Haha...it's not hard at all."
Ximpera blinked. She didn't understand what An Fei meant. Of course, it was impossible to understand.
"I'll go talk to Alice first, Ximpera, you stay and keep an eye on them."
"What about training?"
"It's easy. Let them run a hundred laps around the school field first."
"Then what?"
"If I haven't come back after they finish running, then they will run another hundred laps. By the way, you can't use fighting spirit."
"What kind of training is this?" Anthony asked. The highest-ranked female swordsmen are already high-level swordsmen. Are they allowed to run around in circles
"You'll understand in a few days." An Fei smiled: "Ximpela, is there a well in the garrison?"
"There are two wells."
"Block all the wells with stones." An Fei said: "Is there a magician here?"
"No." Ximpera shook her head and said, "Sir, the wells are blocked, so what should we let them drink from?"
"I asked Feiler to send two magicians over." An Fei thought for a while: "Also, no one is allowed to leave without authorization. If you leave, you will no longer be a mercenary of the major alliance. Do you understand?"
Anthony and Ximpera looked at each other, they really couldn't understand what An Fei wanted to do.
Alice's face looked a little ugly. It was different from when she was in the Grand Alliance. At that time, she could get the absolute support of Anfei and had enough channels to complete her orders. But Moonlight City was different. Marquis Li Gaoya brought a large number of noble officials with him. They escaped, and there was a big gap between the middle and senior managers. Her orders could not be conveyed at all. She wanted to make up for the gap, but she could not find anyone she could trust. Moreover, Julande repeatedly asked that in order to maintain the current and future For stability, Shansha people must be used to govern Shansha people. Alice understands that Yolande is right. If non-Shansha people are appointed as middle and senior managers, even if Edward VIII does not use this matter to create rumors, Shansha people Dissatisfaction will also arise in the heart.
Bailey and Saul resolutely followed Julande's policy. They were only responsible for the military and did not care about government affairs at all. All the burdens fell on Alice. What's more, managing a province is much more difficult than managing tens of thousands of mercenaries. She didn't have many worries before. As long as she thought she was right, she could stick to it, because people like An Fei and Chris Ding could understand her. Now I have to think carefully before and after everything I do, for fear of making some mistakes.
The most important thing is that Yolande gave a death order. He only wanted stability and could not be greedy. Every time he ate, he had to digest one. In other words, until Alice restored normal order to the Moreau Province, Beeri's army was always on standby. Yolande also has another purpose. Edward VIII is unwilling to sit still and wait for death, and is desperately recruiting new troops. Yolande means to give Edward VIII enough time and let him do whatever he wants. Edward VIII no longer has a sense of security, and he will Do everything you can to collect money and young men, and the pressure on the lower-class civilians will increase. When the civilians of the Shansha Empire begin to expect the Mao Empire army to rescue them, everything is a foregone conclusion.
This kind of game at the strategic level is not something that ordinary military commanders can understand. Even if Edward VIII really rebuilt hundreds of thousands of troops and found a commander who was no less than Se Jialan, he would still lose! And Juland's steady attack cut off all opportunities for Edward VIII to win in defeat. If Beeri occupied several provinces at once, troubles in the rear would definitely arise. Several chaotic provinces, millions The anxious people, no matter how powerful Alice is, can't get everything on track in a short time.
An Fei walked to Alice's office. The corridor and the rooms on both sides were crowded with people. The door of Alice's room was wide open, and Susanna stood at the door, silently scanning the flow of people. People have different personalities, and their faces are even more different. Niya smiles before she says anything, and she smiles truly and sweetly. In her eyes, except for a few people in the world, everyone is the same. A good person; Alice often smiles, but her smile smells like a mask, but there are some people who can't show their character, such as Man Lin, who was fascinated by Alice and even abandoned his fiancée for Alice and forgot about it. How did he become the leader of the mercenary group
Susanna didn't like to smile, especially to strangers. Although her face was extremely soft, she had a repellent temperament. Even people who didn't know Susanna's identity would not dare to approach her and strike up a conversation.
Susanna's task was to protect Alice's safety, so she was very sensitive to smells. As soon as An Fei's first foot stepped on the floor, Susanna turned her eyes and saw that it was An Fei, and a smile began to appear on her face. Blooming, first in the eyes, then in the corners of the mouth, like melting ice and snow, like the warm spring breeze. Maybe it's because she feels happy, satisfied, or because of something else. Although she has been a couple for half a year, Susanna always smiles after seeing An Fei. It's not to please, not for formulas, just a pure smile.
