"I'm still wondering if I'm going to take the Knights of Hell to the front line and let them go through the battlefield, at least in the pre-war preparation stage," said Fitch. He and Shani were riding in a convertible carriage and followed the front line's supply convoy. "Although the learning of magic is important, the Knights of Hell are essentially an army rather than a student, and the battlefield is influential."
In the bright morning light, Feich's face was red, making him look energetic. As the spell consultant of the King's inner court, he was already the most important member of the top power circle of the United Kingdom of the Hoya nobles, and his blood relationship with His Majesty the King made this position extremely reliable, not to mention that he himself had strong strength as a backing, and he had the capital to be energetic.
This time, when he went to the Lighthouse, Feiqi was going to join forces with Earl Hall, and the father and son managed an army of 20,000 people together. This is a force that cannot be ignored for the United Kingdom or the Holy See, and he is still considering whether to continue to increase his stake. "Shani, how do you think you can call a few Hell Knights who have outstanding training, who have experienced battlefields or mercenaries in the past? They can bring their own experiences back and tell others."
"I don't quite understand the military affairs, but you'd better talk to the Earl first. Will the Knights of Hell be joining the main force after they come, or will they become your personal soldiers to follow?" Shani stuffed her feet under Feich's mage robe and gently scratched his ankles. She teased Feich down there all the way, but she couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations from the steady voice. "If you are a personal soldier, then there is no point in training, right?"
Feiqi nodded. He turned his face slightly, avoiding being shot directly by the dawn. In many legends, the dawn is a sword used by the gods of justice to break through the evil and darkness, which has a counterproductive effect on the devil and the undead. Feiqi believes that this is completely nonsense. Only humans will feel uncomfortable in the dawn, and he is now using his own human form.
From the side, Feichi's face showed exhaustion. He didn't sleep well last night and his physical strength was not answered. This was completely inseparable from the person who was scratching him with his toes. "Oh, my mind is almost unable to think normally now. Let me take a rest."
Shani turned her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth were raised under the veil, but she did not take her feet back, but just stopped moving. Between her hands, a white silk vest was gradually forming. The bumps of the carriage on the road did not affect the stability of her hands, but the sudden stopping would happen.
"So what?" Feiqi looked forward. The supply line seemed to have stopped completely. He could only see a low hill, and the congestion seemed to be happening across the hill. "Sam, go see what happened and be careful."
Sam tied the reins, put down the post beside him, and fixed the carriage. He then jumped from the driver's position, pressed the wide-edged leather hat with one hand and ran forward. However, before he could run up the hill, the team began to move again. Sam stopped and thought for a few seconds, then ran back with his hat on his back.
"Sir," he said with a little gasp, "Since we can move forward, we will know what's going on after a while."
"Become smarter." Feiqi praised: "According to your previous personality, you must go to the front to see what's going on."
"Sir, in fact, there are too few people around you. If there is a coachman who can take care of you, I will definitely complete the explanation before coming back." Sam said: "It's just that as soon as the team gets up, if the adult's carriage doesn't move, you will definitely be in a bad mood, so I will come."
"You think there are fewer people around me? Actually, what you want to ask is why Shani's maids didn't come with you, right?"
"Sir, please don't laugh at me. I'm going to the front line this time, and it's definitely not OK to take a maid. I still know that." Sam scratched his hair gently and said, "Although he has not inherited his title, the inner court's magic consultant is already very powerful. I am a little bit less at the sermon, and I can't take care of many things. I'm running around, but I'm afraid that there are few people to delay your affairs. And... and the pomp is not enough. I, a coachman, have no one to serve me, and it's even better to go on the road with us."
"I already think the show is too big. Sam, have you forgotten what happened when I wanted to ask someone to ask?"
This time, the troops were sent from all the nobles of the United Kingdom, and the supplies were no exception. The people in the convoy were also sent by the nobles for the king to use. Feiqi wanted to ask them if they had planted potatoes, how the harvest was, and whether the roads were easy to walk in various places. However, the civilians and commanders of the supply convoy did not dare to talk to him at all, and it was difficult to even look at each other. They would only answer perfunctorily and say as little as possible. There was obvious fear on their faces, and they all wanted to avoid him as soon as possible. These people seemed to be afraid that Feiqi would be in a bad mood, and would take their lives in one sentence, or at least be beaten by a whip - even the evil demons in hell were not so miserable.
"Sir, they are actually afraid of anyone in the car. These people do not understand the heraldry. They cannot understand the Hall family badges, but just feel scared. If you have more followers and let them disperse and ask some questions, you will definitely get useful answers."
"But this is very inefficient." Feiqi felt bored after he finished speaking, so he stopped the topic.
The carriages stopped and finally arrived on the hill. Looking down from here, there was an intersection not far away, a truck overturned there, and a team of people parked at the intersection. Although the more than thirty people were fully armed, their armor and weapons were not unified, and their formation was relatively scattered. It was obvious that they were not regular knights or noble troops, but very much like a mercenary. At the intersection, two soldiers from the escort and transport teams sat down on the ground, covering their bruised and swollen heads, and three other soldiers were arguing with the group of mercenaries. It seemed that the conflict they had before affected the passage of the road, but fortunately the conflict did not expand.
"Shani, is that tall man wearing brown leather armor Beni? Please help me see, I feel familiar."
Following Feich's fingers, Shani let out a low cry of surprise. Among the three sisters of Shani, Annie traveled around with Joe Duo. Some time ago, they came to Tawugang City to visit the sea monster Hydes and met Shani. The two people still did not give up their dream of taking a boat to sea adventure, and are currently thinking about the feasibility of turning the giant sea beast into a means of transportation.
Shani was completely used to living a stable life around Feich. After having a sense of belonging, she had put down her past life goals, but Benny was different. She was not going to stop and still regarded "finding the biological father of the sisters" as a very important thing. During the Minas Ishir period, Benny got into a group with local adventurers, mercenaries and caravan guards to find rumors from them. Later, she directly formed her own mercenary team, and went to various places for simple tasks. It has been a long time since she heard from her.
"Sam, find a place to park the car later, don't block the road." Feiqi stood up and stretched hard, and the bones in his body quarreled. "Shani, let's walk over, you can still be faster than the car."
The quarrel at the intersection is still going on, and the soldiers in the supply convoy ask the mercenaries to compensate for the losses of the overturned car, while Benny says it is just an accident and not their responsibility.
The truck overturned because the wheels were broken, and it was filled with buckets of cheese. About seven or eight buckets of cheese fell into the mud ditch next to the road. The surface was covered with black mud, and many of them were crushed. Because these cheeses were very valuable food in the military camp, neither the guards nor the farmers who drove the car could bear the loss. They had to connect the matter with the mercenaries. At the same time, they could not force the mercenaries or scare them away, at least they could not do this before the reinforcements arrived.
"We didn't hit us at all. When we met the team, we had already stopped at this intersection and waited for you to come over." Benny spread his hands and shouted anxiously: "The Chifei who drove us for the car is a mule, and she has always been very gentle, and her reins have been in my hands and have never moved at all. How can she bump into your car?"
The mercenaries behind Benny looked at the soldiers opposite him with their arms held their arms, their faces not good-looking, and they seemed to be resentful. A burly human man seemed to be the leader of them, and kept wavering down to make everyone calm down, avoid conflicts, and not touching their weapons. "We all want to serve His Majesty the King and say something well."
But the key to the matter is that it will not solve the problem if it is said carefully. Feiqi asked Shani to go there first, then he went around to the overturned truck and bent down to check. The wheels were broken and the wheel hub was sunk inward. This is all the information Feiqi got. With this, he could not tell who is right and who is wrong, but he had the ability to make everything better.
"Terminating the Earth Element!" Feiqi waved the cat-tease stick. Now this cat-tease stick is the same as the pit god sword. Feiqi, who does not like the state of the heart-turning demon, only works in humans or three types of devils, and has high and low efficiency. Overall, the pit god sword likes Feiqi, who is the state of the six-white winged pseudo-Semi-Shengyu, and the cat-tease stick likes the human form. When performing magic in the human state, the cat-tease stick will even make a "hehe" laugh, but it has never admitted it, and only says it is Feiqi's auditory hallucination.
The brown earth element tentacles rose from the overturned car, slapped it, and then began to pull it. Under Feich's command, the car was quickly straightened, and the soil rising below supported the car body. Then, Feich cast a "repair" spell on the broken wheels, controlling the debris to fly back to its original position one by one. He searched for materials from the broken wooden barrels and fitted on the original wheel like a patch. Afterwards, he grabbed it with his left hand and activated the "Legal Armed" seal to strengthen the entire wheel, so that the patch and wheel form a whole and continue to strengthen. After a while, although this wheel looked very unbeautiful, as if it was made by a goblin or a lord, it was absolutely solid enough and there was absolutely no problem with carrying the engineering car.
If Kazmuk was here, he would definitely do better. Although Feiqi is also a craftsman, his specialty lies in designing and manufacturing spells, not a wheel maker. Feiqi is also very dissatisfied with his works. After all, he had a (thinking) cool appearance, with the momentum of "just give me the whole thing", but left a twisted wheel... At this time, an idea appeared in his mind: If the carriage was regarded as a golem, would my craft be much better?
Unfortunately, time did not allow him to slowly carve the golem, and the cheese in Mudbari was still waiting for him to save. He used his mind to move objects and pick up the large pieces of cheese, and used the power of elements to condense the water balls to clean the cheese, and scrape off the stubborn stains. Everyone was watching Feiqi's "performance" and watched him pack out most of the cheese pieces and pile them on the truck rack.
"Some of them fell too much, and they would probably be lost with the mud and water as soon as they were washed." Feiqi said to both sides: "Take the car away first to make it easier for the team to pass."
"Master Hall," the guards should have known Feich's identity from Shani, so they took off their helmet and arched to him, "I don't know they are your friends, so..."
"They are not my friends, I only know that one." Feiqi frowned: "Okay, hurry up and clean up and follow the team. The two injured people will move to my carriage, and I will treat them later. Remember, no matter how much the loss is, don't block the team. As for these losses, you will say that I have taken it away and I want to eat it."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, I'll push the car away now. As for these two unlucky guys, they are not seriously injured, I'll just take them to treat them. I dare not bother you."
"Do what I said and move them into my car." Feiqi glared. The problem that could be solved does not mean that the truth had been revealed. It would be good to leave two people to ask about the situation. He then turned to Benny, looked at her and Shani's hands that were intimately pulled together, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, it seems you are doing well!"
"It's okay!" Benny hugged Shani: "Shani is still fleshy, which means you are taking good care of her! It's because of this that I will forgive you."
"Ah?" Feiqi's smile tilted, and he said, "Did I make any mistakes? Did you not ask me to pay for the cheese car?"
"It's not this." Benny smiled and shook her fists, like an excited child: "You promised to help us find our father, but there has been no progress, right? Hehe, I didn't use your help, and you found it! Come and meet our father!"
Shani and Feich were equally surprised. She took advantage of Beni's turn and broke free. She grabbed Feich's arm, half of her body hidden behind him. Beni smiled and waved her hand, calling the tall and burly man over. It was a kind guy with thick eyebrows, deep eye sockets, and a big nose. Many areas of black hair were already gray. A cross-shaped scar was engraved on his chin, making a piece of beard missing.
"Marelis, the mercenary of the West Valley, I heard Beni say to you." The man stretched out his hand and said hello to Fitch like a mercenary meeting with each other rather than a civilian to the nobles. The thick hand was covered with calluses and scars from the use of swords, hanging in the air in front of Fitch.
Feiqi frowned. The Shani sisters all grew up on Elf Island. They were told they were half-sisters, and they were all taken to Elf Island by their fathers for foster care. The elves always found them from the coast, with the same letters around them. If Benny had not found the wrong person, this person named Marelis would be his own...father-in-law?
It is logical that shaking hands is nothing to do with Feiqi. Although he was a noble in his life and remembered all kinds of etiquette and norms clearly, his pride was never based on being a noble. He drank with mercenaries and talked with farmers, which was nothing wrong with this. But for some reason, Feiqi felt a little disgusted with Marelis.
So, Feiqi put the cat-hitting stick in his palm, shook his hand indirectly, and then immediately pulled it back. He tilted his head and looked at Benny, with the smile on his face retracted: "Are you sure you were not looking for the wrong one?"
