"Is Alice here?" An Fei also smiled.
"It's inside." Susanna stepped aside, and after An Fei entered, she closed the door behind her.
Alice was whispering something. There was a short man standing in front of her. Every time Alice said something, the man would nod and bow, showing extreme respect to Alice.
Alice looked up and saw An Fei coming, and waved her hand: "Go out first. I'll see you later."
The man said yes repeatedly and quietly retreated. An Fei sat down on the armchair opposite Alice and said with a smile: "There are so many guests here. Are they all Shansha people?"
"This has nothing to do with people from anywhere. The old order is broken and a new order is about to be born. There are too many opportunities. Who doesn't want to seize the opportunity? If Se Jialan leads the army to attack the Mao Empire, what if Edward also wants to adopt a gentle policy, so there will be many Mao people who are willing to serve Sejialan." Alice looked at An Fei with a smile: "Your Majesty is here, don't you want to discuss these things with me?"
"I don't understand this." An Fei smiled and shook his head: "Alice, do you want to form a personal guard composed entirely of female swordsmen?"
"Yes, An Fei, why are you... suddenly interested in this matter?"
"I just went to see them." An Fei thought for a while: "Their origins and identities are too complicated and cannot be found out in a short time. Aren't you afraid of spies sneaking in?"
"Haha... The Guards are just a title, they don't play any role."
"oh?"
"Not only Xinpera reminded me, I also thought about this issue seriously. Anfei, more and more people are joining us, and there must be some with ulterior motives among them. If we refuse everyone to join, will they give up? ?”
"of course not."
"Yes, then they will have to rack their brains to think of other ways. Maybe they can finally find our flaws and take advantage of them." Alice said softly: "So I think refusal is not the answer. It is better to organize them and let them Be more relaxed, and I can be more relaxed."
"I kind of understand what you're thinking. When there's flooding, it's always better to clear things up than to block them. That's the same truth."
"Flooding?" Alice asked in surprise.
"Haha, keep talking about your story." An Fei shrugged. In this magical world, there are generally no floods or droughts. Magical power can completely alleviate or resolve climate abnormalities, which is why the status of magicians is so high. During wars, magicians are extremely sharp and pose a strategic threat. sexual weapons. In times of peace, magicians have become indispensable for people. It's understandable that Alice doesn't understand. Although her knowledge covers a very wide range, her and An Fei's concepts of floods are completely different.
"Also, His Majesty's burden is already very heavy. It is impossible to expand the army, not to mention the strict discipline of the army. Many people can't bear that crime; they want to seek a future with me... My letter of appointment is not given casually. First of all, If you are a local, you must have enough talent and enjoy a certain reputation in the local area. In the end, you must pass my assessment and observation. This road is more difficult." Alice said slowly: "Compared with joining the big league It's the best choice. The discipline is much looser than that of the army. The future is no worse than being an official. People all know the relationship between us. Joining the big alliance not only has a relationship with you Anfei. It also has a relationship with Ke. Lis Ding, pull me in, isn’t that attractive enough?”
"I understand all these reasons. What I'm saying is that the identities of those female swordsmen are too complicated."
"I know. In fact, I set out to form a personal guard. It was originally a test. As I expected, there were many people who signed up. The female swordsmen you see are the ones left after layers of screening. "Alice smiled and said: "An Fei. You said...the spies heard that I was going to form a personal guard, what would they do?"
"Of course, you have to grab a spot even if you win the first place."
"And the ones who want to try it are all spies who are confident in themselves and have some abilities. Isn't this good?" A gleam of cunning flashed in Alice's eyes: "Put them together for management, I guess... they will be together for a long time." Nothing can be done within the time, even if they find something is wrong, haha, my personal guards are not a place where they can come and leave at will. When the people behind them want to send people over again, by then, it is estimated that We are almost back in triumph.”
"It seems that I was worried about you in vain." An Fei said with a bitter smile. He never thought that Alice formed the personal guard for this purpose.
"I also formed a Guards Battalion, recruiting only male mercenaries." Alice smiled: "I can say this, if you randomly find ten people from the Guards and Guards Battalion, at least two or three of them will be spy!"
"But there are still people who are really willing to serve us. Isn't this a waste of talent?" An Fei frowned.
"An Fei, do our major leagues still lack talents?" Alice suddenly said seriously.
An Fei was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that there is no shortage of talents in the major leagues now. There really is no shortage. With him, Susanna and Anthony sitting at the top, what kind of person dares to say that he is an indispensable talent? ? What's more, now is the time to harvest the fruits of victory. Don't you think there are too few people picking peaches
"Our current 20,000 mercenaries are equivalent to our private soldiers. They have been working hard with us to this day. In the future, no matter whether we are in good times or bad, most of them will still follow us." Alice sighed softly: "They I feel sad every time I lose one of them.”
"We lost a lot of people in the battle against Heishui City and Du Sejialan." An Fei sighed when he mentioned this. "We will still have wars in the future." Alice said slowly: "Most of the people who want to join now like to follow the enemy. There is no need to pay attention to them. When you encounter places where people are going to die in the future, just send them there."
An Fei was about to speak when he suddenly heard Bravi shouting outside: "Where is An Fei? Huiwei, someone told me that An Fei is here."
"Should we go find Lady Alice?" Huiwei answered from outside: "Brawi, what's so urgent?"
"I'll talk to you later." As soon as she finished speaking, the door of Alice's room was pushed open by someone, and then Bravi rushed in.
"Brawi, what's wrong?" An Fei stood up hurriedly.
"An Fei, Miss Niya brought Utter and little Sharil to Moonlight City. The person who came to report said... Utter seems to be dying!"
"What?" An Fei was shocked: "Does the teacher know?"
"Maybe he didn't know. Niya rushed directly into Moonlight City and did not go to the military camp."
"Let's go." An Fei said and rushed out the door. Utter has been missing for a while, but at that time he was dealing with Sejialan, Manzhusli and many other enemies in the mercenary country. He could not be distracted at all, let alone rush back. Although he valued Utter, and Sharing a huge secret with Utter, but one person is still too insignificant compared to a war, so An Fei can only choose not to do anything.
You can't blame An Fei for being ruthless. Many times, the choice is determined by numbers. There is only Utter over there, but here are Susanna, her fellow students, Alice, the big alliance he created, and Ma The Austrian Empire has hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if Erte, Niya, and little Sharil are in danger, it is impossible for him to go back.
More than a dozen soldiers from the garrison came panting from the west, shouting at pedestrians to get out of the way as they ran. Three carriages followed behind them. Niya was sitting next to the carriage driver. She was unkempt and her face and body were covered with dust. Her breath looked very anxious, and she kept asking the coachman to run faster, but it was almost dusk and there were so many pedestrians on the street that the carriage could not run at all.
An Fei's figure appeared from the roof of the building on the side, and then flew down like a flying eagle, landing in front of the carriage. Niya stayed for a moment, and then screamed: "An Fei, go see Er Special, hurry up!" After saying that, he turned around and pointed to the second carriage. After meeting again after a long absence, the first sentence was not a greeting, but went straight to the point, which was enough to show Niya's mood at the moment.
When An Fei saw Niya like this, he didn't care what to say. He appeared in front of the second carriage in a flash, jumped up and opened the curtain.
The scene in the carriage was a bit strange. Four female elves full of youthful atmosphere were sitting around an old man. They seemed to be incompatible with each other. The old man was so old that it was impossible to describe it in words. A snow-white beard hung down to his waist. On the side, the top of the head is very bald, with only sparse white hair remaining on the ears and behind the ears. The face is covered with wrinkles, just like covering a pool of messed up noodles. An Fei knew those female elves, they were the elf maids Buzuliano gave to him, but he didn't recognize the old man, and Erte was not in the carriage either.
An Fei felt confused and retreated again. At this moment, something suddenly happened in his mind, and he hurriedly opened the curtain and shouted: "Utter?"
Because of his extremely strong mental power, An Fei's roar always had a certain magical power of shock and penetration. The old man's body trembled, and he opened his eyes with difficulty. When he saw An Fei, he suddenly He became excited, opened his toothless mouth, and muttered something, but unfortunately An Fei couldn't hear it clearly with his hearing.
"Utter, how could you become like this!" An Fei hurriedly leaned down, reached his right hand behind Utter's neck, and carefully lifted Utter up.
