The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 229: Battle of Lidar Castle 9
Al Gildas returned to the mercenary group very late. When he left, Algierdas took away a whole team of cavalry, but when he returned, he stood alone and hanged.
Standing alone under the dim light at the entrance of the mercenary group's camp, Algildas was dazed and didn't pay attention at first, but thought it was a guard.
But the guard suddenly grabbed Al Gildas' horse bit when his horse passed by.
"Algildas," the man shouted.
Algildas took a fixed look, and it turned out to be Tepes.
"Tepes, what are you doing?" Algildas shouted. Algildas looked down on Bachter, because Bachter was a commoner and did not have the status of a nobleman. But he also looked down on Tepes, perhaps because Tepes, who was also a declining noble, had a higher position in the mercenary group than Al Gildas.
Tepesh's face was blue and white when Algildas stopped drinking. He has always regarded Algierdas as the person who arranged for Algierdas in the mercenary group like his own Prince Yanush. This is how to tolerate Algierdas. Today, Algierdas is still so overbearing when he falls in Pingyang. .
"Hey, Algierdas, why did you come back alone?" Tepesh laughed knowingly.
Seeing that Tepesh, who only laughed at him on weekdays, dared to speak to himself like this, Algierdas raised his whip, and he wanted to teach this brave fellow.
But Tepes first supported Algildas's whip's hand. Tepes approached Algierdas and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I wouldn't have to bear your arrogant temper if we were both serving for the prince. I am. Waiting here, you want to tell you that your subordinates came back one step earlier. They went directly to the regiment commander and claimed that they did not want to listen to your command anymore. They would be transferred to another unit, even if they were an infantryman. Success. What do you think you have done? It can make your subordinates be so distracted. You have pushed everyone to the head of the regiment, what will you rely on to gain a foothold in the mercenary regiment in the future?"
The words of Tepesh pierced Algildas's heart. Algildas' complexion darkened, and the hand that had been raised unconsciously dropped. Taking this opportunity, Tepesh snatched Algierdas' whip and threw it to the ground.
"what do I do?"
After a while, Algildas asked Tepes.
Seeing that Algierdas, who had always been above the top, would ask him for advice, and Tepesh knew that Algierdas had subdued himself.
"What else can you do besides commanding the cavalry?" Tepes asked.
Algildas said he would still wield a spear.
"Infantry work."
Obviously, the spear referred to by Al Gildas should be a lance, but Tepesh misunderstood the spear used for infantry.
Algildas did not correct, he waited for Tepes to continue.
Tepes glanced at Algierdas, and he asked Algierdas, "Do you know that the squadron led by Bashit still has a vacancy for the captain of the Pikemen?"
"I know, but isn't that position reserved for a man named Spasokukotsky?"
"Yes, the guy named Spasokukotsky is a priest, but it is said that he has left the mercenary for a while. God knows when he will come back."
"Do you want me to apply to the head of the vacant position?" Algildas felt that he understood what Tepesh meant.
Unexpectedly, Tepes gave Algierdas a fierce look.
"Who do you think you are? Spasokukotsky is an old man of the mercenary group, how could you replace him. I mean you apply to the group leader for this position temporarily."
"Then wait for the priest to come back, I still have nothing!" Algildas said angrily. Does Tepesh want to make clothes for others by himself?
"So you military aristocrats are made of iron. You go for a temporary period of time, and when the priest returns, will the head of the group kill the donkey and drive you away? Stay there, you pay attention to this Bashi The every move of the special class, so that you have a little value to the prince, understand? Stupid!" Tepesh said more and more vigorously, he now has a kind of pleasure of Lao Tzu teaching his son.
Algildas's face changed again, and he found that if he wanted to stay in the mercenary group, he could only rely on Tepesh's method.
"Okay, I listen to you." Algildas' words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.
Seeing Algildas nodded, Tepes smiled with satisfaction.
When Algildas came to Cheerchen's big account, he saw Cheerchen, Pidro and Bachter, two deputy heads waiting for him. Bacht was still expressionless, but Pedro was joyful.
"He must be happy that my cavalry has taken refuge in him." Algildas thought unhappily.
"Algierdas, are you injured?" Cheerchen asked worriedly when he saw Algierdas' arm with injuries.
"A little injury is not enough." Algildas said lightly.
"Captain Algierdas, there is something we want to talk to you and hear your opinion." Seeing Algierdas is okay, Pidro took a look at Chechen, and then said to Algierdas. .
"coming."
Algildas knew that what Pedro had to say must have something to do with his cavalry.
Sure enough, I only heard Pidro say: "Before you come back today, your subordinates first came back to find me and the commander~lightnovelpub.net~ We only know this time to encircle Jan Sobieski, cavalry. The team took the lead but suffered heavy losses. We reassure the surviving soldiers and promised to reward everyone well when you come back. But they did not expect that they made a request that embarrassed us..."
"I know that the cavalry suffered heavy losses this time, and it was all my fault. I am not worthy to be the captain. I am here to ask for punishment."
Before Pedro finished speaking, Algildas said.
Pidro was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Algildas to be so happy, and he hadn't said a lot of the rhetoric he had originally prepared.
"Algierdas, actually," Cheerchen wanted to explain after hearing Algierdas's words so happily. Cheerchen had never thought of depriving Algierdas of his military power. It was true that the surviving cavalry had to change their captain in unison, otherwise they would have to find another job.
"Captain, you don't need to say. I'm not the captain of the cavalry, but I can do other things. I know how to use a gun, so let me be a spearman." Algildas said as ordered by Tepesh.
Although Algildas made a big mistake, he was sent by Prince Yanush after all, and no matter how he could be an ordinary pikeman. Chechen considered the current position of the mercenary group, and said to Algierdas: "Algierdas, the mercenary group currently only has the position of captain of the pikemen under the deputy commander of Bashit. This position is temporarily vacant. It was originally reserved for Spasokukotsky, an old man in our regiment. He has left now. Why don't you go temporarily, and you will be his deputy when the priest comes back?" Cheerchen asked Algier tentatively. Darth's wishes.
This was exactly what Algildas wanted, and he opened his mouth to agree. Unexpectedly, Bacht, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said: "I don't want to!"
