"You mean, you have a way to avoid Madara's attention?"
After a moment of silence, the bar owner asked with obvious distrust.
Freya nodded quickly. But she was immediately startled, and found that the faces of the people present did not trust her. Her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but hold on to her sword - as if to pass the tension.
The white knuckles of my fingers were vented.
"Freya is Butch's militia. One of her friends said that Fort Reeden would be breached. No one would believe it before tonight, and neither did Su, but the facts are before us. I think Freya
There is some truth to what you said." At this time, Su suddenly spoke from the side.
Everyone was startled, even Freya looked at the girl with wheat-colored skin and pigtails, and gave her a grateful glance.
"I actually have no way to lead you around Madara's attention." Freya thought for a moment and said frankly to the mercenaries present - her opening words made everyone stunned. "But, I know.
One person may have this ability."
"Does that mean you're not sure?" one person asked.
Freya nodded.
She immediately saw many people shrugging their shoulders. These mercenaries didn't have any hope in a little girl. They were actually just joking. After all, Freya herself was not annoying - she could even be
She is said to be a very attractive girl.
"Wait, everyone! I know, as a stranger, it is ridiculous for me to ask you to believe me here now." She held the sword in her hands on her chest, slowly relaxed, and her voice changed.
Be bright and clear: "So I just raised a possibility——"
She thought for a while: "It's like a bet, like gambling, I, I..."
The pony-tailed girl searched for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable word. She suddenly felt a little annoyed - maybe she shouldn't have chosen a way to explain that she was not familiar with in order to cater to these mercenaries.
"It's like you open a handicap, shall we place a bet? Then life and death are determined, and wealth is in the sky." A big mercenary laughed: "Good explanation, hello - my name is Mano. Just go to Miss.
If you say this, I have to place a bet, right?"
He turned around. Someone in the crowd immediately burst out with good-natured laughter, and someone else shouted, Mano, you damn gambler, you will lose your life on it sooner or later.
Freya blushed and nodded quickly: "That's about it. If you think my words are credible, you might as well take a look first, right? I think you will definitely make a judgment when you see my friend - at least
, at least I believe him."
After she finished speaking, the mercenaries fell silent. I have to say that what Freya said was still very tempting, and there was evidence from Su's previous words, and since they were hesitant here, they might as well follow up and see the market first, right?
?
Anyway, we won’t suffer any loss. At worst, it will just be a one-shot deal.
But for a while, no one took him seriously. Freya looked at the scene that was gradually getting colder, and couldn't help but become a little anxious for a while.
"I believe Freya."
Su was the first to walk out. She even looked back at her father. Leto couldn't help scratching his head. He couldn't help but not express his daughter's attitude. It was true. People said that his daughter's elbows were pointed outward.
Hua - but at least I can catch a good young man back for him.
The bar owner couldn't help but sigh a little for a while, and everyone around him burst into laughter.
"Okay," Leto said, "don't laugh either. Since I've gone, it doesn't matter if you stay and have a look. I believe you still have to sell my little daughter's face, right?"
"How shameless, Leto."
"Then someone is using Miss Su as a shield."
"Shameless."
The mercenaries couldn't help shouting, but they all agreed with Leto's statement. However, the broad and fat bar owner was not ashamed at all, but looked complacent. And in the end, the remaining
With a small number of people, there were actually more than twenty people who stayed. In fact, these people were not uninterested in Freya's proposal, but they just couldn't bear to compromise to a little girl.
"So, miss, we are all here, now let's talk about your request?" Leto crossed his arms and turned around and asked.
Mercenaries are mercenaries after all, and they all understand that there is no such thing as enjoying rights without paying a price. They generally regard this kind of price as a transaction. If they think it is calculated, they will join, and if they do not, they will quit. It is as simple as that. It is not a big deal.
Things that are not easy to talk about.
Freya didn't understand the thoughts of the mercenaries, and naturally felt nervous: "My request is actually very simple, that is, to escape from here alive. Since you choose to stay and trust me, I hope you can... obey my command,
Obey the order, otherwise this agreement will basically be meaningless. So I know it is a bit presumptuous to say this, but I still have to insist - if you find it unacceptable, I will not force it."
"Of course, this is the most basic thing." These mercenaries replied. Of course they said so, but they may not always follow the orders to die. However, it is always right to respond first.
"Besides, what can you do?"
"I don't know, but I can at least stand with you and fight. In the battle, we are comrades fighting side by side. I think... this will not change because of the agreement between us." Freya thought.
After thinking about it, he replied.
"This sentence is enough, as long as you can do it. At least we will recognize you, little girl!" Mano replied on the side, and two or three people nodded in agreement. But some people still chose to withdraw. In the end
There were a total of seventeen people left. Except for Leto and Su, as well as Mano and his three best friends, the rest were all loners. They felt that it was better to follow the group closely than to act alone, so they finally chose to stay.
However, these more than ten people were beyond Freya's expectations, and even far exceeded her expectations.
Because she had nothing to expect in the first place. Even if Su was the only one left, it would have been a fluke, and now it was even more of a fluke.
Before their discussion here came to an end, news of Madara's army entering the city had spread from the west, and the crowd on the street began to commotion. When Leto saw the situation on the street, he immediately said hello and asked others to come to the bar with him.
When you go to get food, you should take as much as you can at this time. Otherwise, when these people wake up, the streets will be in chaos.
This is also the difference between mercenaries and militiamen like Freya. The first thing that experienced soldiers think about is always logistics, not other aspects.
"Then what are we going to do next, Commander Freya?" the old mercenary Mano asked from the side.
"You don't need to call me Commander, I'm no different from you." Freya said with a blushing face. The previous speech made her so nervous that she could hardly breathe. Until now, she still hasn't figured out that she actually has the courage to speak in a group of people.
To say something like that in front of a seasoned warrior.
Now that I think about it, it really seems like a dream.
But there was a voice in her heart telling her that she could do it. She must have a way to help Brando instead of just being a burden next to him. The ponytail girl took a breath to relax herself, and stared with some concentration.
Ximen, whose fire was blazing into the sky, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"
"Of course, how could it not be?"
"Then we will go steal horses later." Freya replied.
"Stealing horses?"
"Stealing horses?" the girl fiddled with the silver spoon and asked curiously.
"There is a mule and horse market in Lidenburg. The nobles trade war horses in the inner area, and also sell domestic servants and slaves. This is an open fact. In fact, they took the initiative to send the news to the Butchi area when the old minister came."
Overwell replied.
"These daring guys." The princess calmly put down the tea cup.
"But how did that girl know?" she asked again.
"This is related to her life experience. Our people left her at the mule and horse market in Lidenburg when she was three years old. She may not be able to remember some things that happened before she was three years old, but she should be deeply impressed by the place."
"You are really cruel, are you leaving a three-year-old girl alone in a strange place?"
"We had no choice but to do it. The turmoil back then had too many implications, and even Everton's wife was not immune. Besides, we also had careful arrangements."
"She can ride?"
"How could the Everton family not know how to ride? The person we arranged to adopt her was an elite knight of the Silver Wing Legion. But why did their family move out of Ridenburg to a remote place like Butch? We still don't know why.
And know.”
"Did she succeed?" Although she knew that Overwell would say this, it must mean that Freya succeeded. However, Her Royal Highness couldn't help but ask.
No matter how mature she appears on the surface, she is still a fifteen or sixteen year old girl on the inside.
"Of course, the veteran has said before that the nobles were all attracted by the young man. There was no defense in the inner area of the market, and they succeeded easily. The group of mercenaries were also very powerful. They could at least be considered as the first-line army of the kingdom.
Ordinary soldiers——"
The girl nodded.
Unlike other legions, the first-line legions of the Kingdom of Eruin, such as the Guards, Silver Wings, Eleventh Sifah Cavalry Regiment, and Amway Fusiliers, have basically preserved their former honor and combat effectiveness. Ordinary soldiers in these legions
Its combat effectiveness is still in the lower reaches of the Black Iron (3-7oz), and naturally cannot be compared with the self-degenerate second-line legions such as the White Mane Legion and the Black Blade Legion.
As for those standard legions, they are even more unsightly. Since the Year of the Cave Beast, their combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of the noble private soldiers.
Therefore, as Afverwell described it this way, the half-elf princess immediately understood what kind of strength the mercenaries who were with Freya had.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What then?"
"Then the most exciting part of the story, Old Minister, is the story of when Miss Freya led her knights to join the magical young man, and killed everyone in Madara's army." Even though Alfwell has always been
He was indifferent, but the mention of fighting in and out of the enemy's army still made him, a member of the royal party, a little bit excited.
"Wonderful young man," said the princess.
Overwell coughed twice, realizing his gaffe.
But the girl didn't care. She looked at the time and said, "I still have a little time, Lord Overwell, so please continue to the next section."
