Argildas returned to the mercenary regiment very late. When he left, argildas took a whole team of cavalry with him, and when he came back, he was alone.


    A man was standing in the dim light at the gate of the mercenary regiment camp. Argildas didn''t pay attention at first because he looked trance. He just thought it was a guard.


    But the guard suddenly grabbed the bit of argildas''s horse as it passed by.


    "Argildas," cried the man.


    When algeldas fixed his eyes, it turned out to be caipesh.


    "Zeppesh, what are you doing?" cried algeldas. Algerdas despised bachit because bachit was a civilian and had no aristocratic status. But he also looked down on zeppesh, perhaps because zeppesh, who was also a declining aristocrat, had a higher status in the mercenary regiment than algerdas.


    By the sound of argildas, zepesh''s face was blue and white. He has always regarded argyrdas as the same person as himself. Prince yanush is arranged in the mercenary regiment, which makes him more tolerant to argyrdas. Today, argyrdas is so domineering.


    "Hey, argildas, why are you back alone?" zeppesh laughed knowingly.


    Seeing that zepesh, who only had his share of ridicule and ridicule, dared to speak to himself like this, argildas raised his whip. He wanted to teach the bold guy a lesson.


    But caipesh took the first step to hold argildas''s hand holding the whip. Zepesh approached argildas and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "If it weren''t for the reason that we both worked for the prince, I wouldn''t stand your arrogant temper. I''m waiting for you to tell you that your subordinates came back earlier. They went directly to the commander and said they didn''t want to listen to your command any more. They wanted to be transferred to other troops, even as an infantry. What did you say you did? Can you let your subordinates do this You pushed people to the head. What will you rely on to gain a foothold in the mercenary regiment in the future? "


    Zepesh''s words pierced the heart of algerdas. Algerdas turned dark and unconsciously put down his raised hand. Taking this opportunity, zepesh grabbed algerdas''s whip and threw it to the ground.


    "What should I do?"


    After a while, algeldas asked tsepesh.


    Seeing that algerdas, whose eyes are always higher than the top, would ask himself for advice, caipesh knew that algerdas was soft to himself.


    "What else can you do besides commanding cavalry?" asked zeppesh.


    Argildas said he could also wield a long gun.


    "Infantry work."


    Obviously, argildas said that the long gun should be a cavalry gun, but caipesh misunderstood the spear for infantry.


    Argildas did not correct it. He waited for tsepesh to continue.


    Zeppesh glanced askance at algerdas. He asked algerdas, "do you know that the squadron led by bachit still has a vacancy for the position of captain of the long gunner?"


    "I know, but isn''t that position reserved for a man named sparso kukotsky?"


    "Yes, the guy named spasokukotsky is a priest, but it is said that he left the mercenary regiment for a while. God knows when he will come back."


    "Do you want me to apply to the head for the vacant post?" algerdas felt that he understood what zepesh meant.


    Unexpectedly, zepesh glared at algeldas.


    "Who do you think you are? Spasokukotsky is an old man of the mercenary regiment. How can you replace him? I mean, you apply to the head for this position."


    "Then when the priest comes back, I''ll still have nothing!" said algeldas angrily. Does zeppesh want to make wedding clothes for others by himself?


    "So you military nobles are all made of iron. Go and take the place for a while. When the priest comes back, will the regimental commander demoralize and kill the donkey and drive you away? Stay there and pay attention to the every move of bachit and others, so that you can have a little value to the prince, okay? Fool!" Zeppesh spoke more and more vigorously. Now he had the pleasure of teaching his son a lesson.


    Argildas''s face changed again. He found that if he wanted to stay in the mercenary regiment, he had to follow peish''s way.


    "OK, I''ll listen to you." algeldas said as if he squeezed it out of his teeth.


    Seeing Algirdas nodding, tsepesh smiled with satisfaction.


    When algerdas came to Chechen''s tent, he saw Chechen, Pedro and bachit waiting for him. Bachit was still expressionless, but Pedro was happy.


    "He must be glad that all my cavalry have taken refuge in him," thought algeldas unhappily.


    "Algerdas, are you hurt?" Chechen asked anxiously when he saw that algerdas had a wound on his arm.


    "A little injury is not worth mentioning." algeldas said faintly.


    "Captain argyrdas, there''s something we want to talk to you about and listen to your opinion." seeing argyrdas is no big deal, Pedro looked at Cherchen and said to argyrdas.


    "Here we are."


    Algerdas knew that what Pedro was going to say must have something to do with his cavalry.


    Sure enough, I just heard Pedro say: "Before you came back today, your subordinates came back to me and the commander. We knew that the cavalry took the lead in the encirclement and suppression of Jan sobesky, but also suffered heavy losses. We comforted the surviving soldiers and promised to reward everyone when you came back. But we didn''t expect that they made a request that embarrassed us..."


    "I know that the cavalry suffered heavy losses this time. It''s all my fault. I''m not worthy to be the captain. I''m asking for punishment now."


    Without waiting for Pedro to finish, algeldas said.


    Pedro was stunned. He didn''t expect algeldas to be so happy. He hadn''t said many words he had prepared.


    "Algerdas, actually," Chechen listened to algerdas so happily and wanted to explain. Chechen didn''t want to deprive algerdas of his military power. It was really that the surviving cavalry agreed to change their captain, or they would find another job.


    "Captain, you don''t have to say. I''m not the cavalry captain. I can do other things. I can use a gun, so let me be a long shooter." algerdas said according to zepesh''s instructions.


    Although algerdas made a big mistake, he was sent by Prince yanush after all. No matter what, he could not be an ordinary long Spearman. After considering the existing position of the mercenary corps, Cherchen said to algerdas: "Algerdas, the mercenary regiment now has only the post of the captain of the long Spearman under the deputy head of bachit. This post was originally reserved for an old man in our regiment, sparsokukotsky. He has something to leave now. Why don''t you take his place and wait for the priest to come back and you will be his deputy?" Chechen asked algerdas tentatively.


    This was just what algerdas wanted, and he opened his mouth to promise. Unexpectedly, bachit, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "I don''t want to!"
