Scene 3 Freya's Knights

"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 hastily. But she was stunned immediately, and found that the faces of the people present were full of expressions of distrust of herself, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but grasp her sword tightly—as if she wanted to vent the tension through her white knuckles .

"Freya is Butch's militiaman. A friend of hers said that Fort Ridden will be breached. Before tonight, everyone will definitely not believe it, and Su doesn't believe it either, but the facts are in front of me. I think Freya There is some truth to what you said." At this time, Su suddenly spoke from the side.

Everyone was taken aback, even Freya looked at the girl with wheat-colored skin and braided hair, and gave her a grateful glance.

"I, actually, have no way to avoid Madara's attention." Freya thought for a while, and said to the mercenaries present frankly—everyone was taken aback by what she said at the beginning. "However, I know that a person may have this ability."

"So you're not sure?" one person asked.

Freya nodded.

She immediately saw that many people shrugged. These mercenaries didn't have any hope for a little girl. They were just joking. After all, Freya wasn't annoying—it could even be said that she was a very attractive girl.

"Wait, everyone! I know, as a stranger, I am here to ask you to believe me is a ridiculous thing." She held the long sword in both hands on her chest, and slowly relaxed, her voice changed. It became crisp and clear: "So I just put forward a possibility--"

She thought for a while: "It's like a bet, a gamble, I, I..."

The ponytail girl spent a long time with me, but she couldn't find a suitable word. She suddenly became a little annoyed—maybe she shouldn't choose an unfamiliar way to explain it in order to cater to these mercenaries.

"It's like you opened a handicap, and we bet right? Then life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." A big mercenary laughed: "It's easy to explain, hello——My name is Mano. Just rush to Miss What you said, I have to place a bet too, don’t I?”

He turned around. Immediately, some people in the crowd let out good-natured laughter, and some people shouted, Mano, you damn gambler, you will die on it one day.

Freya blushed, and nodded quickly: "That's about it. If you think my words are credible, you might as well take a look first, don't you? I think you will make a judgment when you meet 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 is still very tempting, and Su's previous words are used as circumstantial evidence, and they are hesitating here, why not follow up to see the market first?

Anyway, it won't be a disadvantage, the big deal is that it will be broken up at that time.

But all of a sudden, no one took the lead. Seeing the gradually cooling scene, Freya couldn't help becoming anxious for a while.

"I trust Freya."

Su was the first to go out, and she even looked back at her father. Leto couldn't help but scratched his head. He couldn't do without his daughter's statement. It's true, everyone said that her elbow was turned outwards - but at least he would catch a good boy for him.

The bar owner couldn't help but sigh for a while, and the surroundings burst into laughter.

"Okay," Leto said, "don't laugh. Since I'm gone, it's okay for you to stay and take a look. I believe everyone will sell the face of my little daughter, right?"

"How shameless, Leto."

"Then someone used Miss Su's coming out as a shield."

"Shameless."

The mercenaries couldn't help shouting,

However, during the conversation, they agreed with Leto's statement, but the bar owner, who is tall and fat, didn't feel ashamed at all, instead he looked complacent. As for the number of people left in the end, there were actually more than twenty people left. These people were actually not uninterested in Freya's proposal, but they just couldn't bear to compromise with a little girl.

"Then miss, all of us are here, now tell me your request?" Leto clasped his arms and asked back.

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 price as a transaction, and think that if it is calculated, it will be joined, and if it is not calculated, it will be withdrawn-it is as simple as that, and it is not something to be embarrassed about.

Freya didn't understand what the mercenaries were thinking, so she was naturally 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... follow my command, Obey the order, otherwise this agreement will basically lose its meaning. So I know it’s a bit presumptuous to say this, but I still have to insist—if you find it unacceptable, I won’t force it.”

"Of course, this is the most basic." These mercenaries replied, of course they said so, but they might not necessarily execute the order to send them to death. However, it is always right to respond first.

"Also, what can you do?"

"I don't know, but at least I can stand and fight with you. In battle, we are comrades-in-arms. I think... this will not change because of our agreement." Freya thought After thinking about it, he replied.

"It's enough to have this sentence, as long as you can do it. At least we will recognize you, little girl!" Mano replied from the side, and two or three people nodded in agreement. But there are still people who opt out. In the end, there were seventeen people left. Except for Leto, Su, and Mano and his three buddies, the rest were all lone rangers. They felt that it was better to follow the group closely by themselves, so they also chose to stay in the end. . However, these ten people were beyond Freya's expectations, and even far exceeded her expectations.

Because she had nothing to expect. Even if only Su stayed alone, it was a fluke, and now it was even more of a fluke of luck.

And their discussion here has not yet come to an end, the news of Madara's army entering the city has already spread from the west, and the crowd on the street began to commotion. When Leto saw the situation on the street, he immediately greeted others to go with him to the bar to pick up food. At this time, it was natural to take as much as they could, otherwise the street would be in chaos when these people came to their senses.

This is also the difference between mercenaries and militias like Freya. Experienced soldiers always think of logistics first, not other aspects.

"Then what are we going to do next, Commander Miss Freya?" asked the old mercenary Mano.

"Don't 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 would have the guts to say that in front of a group of seasoned fighters.

Thinking about it now, it was like a dream.

But something in her heart told her that she could do it. She must have a way to help Brando, instead of just being a burden by his side. The ponytail girl took a breath to let herself relax, and stared at the fiery Ximen in a daze, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"Of course, how could it not be."

"Then we'll go steal the horse later." Freya replied.

"Stealing a horse?"

***********

"Stealing a horse?" the girl asked curiously, fiddled with the silver spoon.

"There is a mule and horse market in Riedenburg. The nobles traded war horses in the inner area, and they also sold servants and slaves. This is an open fact. In fact, the veterans came to the Butch area, and they sent the news on their own initiative." Overwell replied.

"These bold guys." The princess calmly put down the teacup.

"But how did that girl know?" she asked again.

"This has something to do with her life experience. Our people left her at the mule and horse market in Riedenburg when she was three years old. She may not remember some things that happened before she was three years old, but she should be deeply impressed by it."

"You guys are really cruel. Do you let a three-year-old girl stay alone in a strange place?"

"We were also forced to do so. The turmoil involved so much that even Everton's wife was not spared. Besides, we also have comprehensive arrangements."

"She can ride?"

"How can someone from the Everton family not know how to ride? The person we arranged to adopt her is an elite knight of the Silver Wing Legion. It's just why their family moved out of Riddenburg to a remote place like Butcher. We still don't know. And know."

"Did she succeed?" Although she knew that Overwell would say that, it must mean that Freya succeeded. But Her Royal Highness still couldn't help asking.

No matter how mature she appeared on the surface, she was still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in her heart.

"Of course, the old minister said before that the nobles were all attracted by that young man. The inner area of ​​the market was not well-prepared, so they easily succeeded. The group of mercenaries is also quite strong, at least they can be regarded as the first-line legion of the kingdom. Ordinary soldiers—”

The girl nodded.

Unlike other legions, the first-line legions of the Eruin Kingdom, such as the Praetorian Guards, the Silver Wings, the Eleventh Cavalry Regiment of Sifach, and the Amico Fusiliers, basically bless the honor and combat effectiveness of the past. The ordinary soldiers in these legions The combat power of the army is still maintained at the lower reaches of the black iron (3-7Oz), and it is naturally not comparable to the self-defeating 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 noble private soldiers.

Therefore, Oufwell described it this way, and Her Royal Highness, the half-elf princess, immediately understood what kind of strength the mercenaries who were with Freya probably had.

She thought for a while and asked, "And then?"

"Then is the most exciting part of the old minister's story. After Miss Freya led her knights to join the magical young man, she killed all directions in the Madara army." 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 elated.

"Wonderful young man," said the princess.

Overwell coughed twice, realizing his slip of the tongue.

But the girl didn't care, she looked at the time and said, "I still have a little time, Lord Overwell, then please continue to the next section."

"Honored."
