Chapter 354: Fernand's Predicament

As the fall of the tattoo year drew to a close, Negan's two leads, Fett and Jeffrey, were stunned. A fierce battle unfolded at the border junction between the two sides.

The fight didn't make any waves at Negan, and it didn't get much attention. In Negan, it is too normal for lords to have wars between them, and every moment, in almost every corner of Negan, there are wars of greater or less, and it would be strange if one day the lords suddenly stopped fighting each other.

What's more, this is only two small lords in Negan's eastern region fighting a war, and the number of troops invested is only tens of thousands, which is not important to Negan's overall situation.

Rather than a war between two minor lords, people are more concerned about what the sudden peace talks between the four great lords really mean. Some of the lords who shared Fernand's thoughts were worried, but a significant number of lords thought the peace talk was a joke. In the eyes of these lords, in Negan, the land of the jungle and the survival of the fittest, it is never useful to play tricks, the fists are not hard enough, it is useless to talk about the sky, the fists are hard enough, everything is the truth, the division and merger between the four lords, grievances and grievances for so many years, and it is not once or twice to join forces with each other, but each time it ends in a big fight with each other, will there be any difference this time?

The lords who held such an idea continued to care about the dynamics of the four major lords, and at the same time, they did not change their strategic policy just because the four major lords started peace talks, and continued to be busy fighting everywhere to grab territory.

Thus, Negan remained as chaotic as ever, and no one noticed that in the eastern part of Negan, there was a war between the two lords, Fernand and Geoffrey. There are some unknown inside things hidden in the secret, and what kind of mastermind is behind the scenes.

Even the two warring lords themselves. I don't realize that I have unknowingly become a pawn used by some people.

Both sides are now red-eyed, in terms of overall strength, Jeffrey is undoubtedly much stronger, he is the most powerful lord in this small lord's alliance, and Fernande is just in the middle and upper reaches of the alliance.

Jeffrey had long since looked at Fernande. He thinks Fernande is a coward who occupies a large area of rich land, but he has always been resting on his laurels. If you don't seek progress, there has been no major change in the territory for so many years, and your strength has not increased much. This made Jeffrey extremely unhappy, what is the use of such a coward occupying such a rich land? He was always looking for an opportunity to grab Fernand's turf. But there is no suitable excuse, although there is no reason to talk about it in Negan, but on the surface, you always have to make a show, and it is a good thing to grab territory, and it is not good to provoke public anger and be attacked by other lords.

This time, Fernande didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he took the lead in provoking, Jeffrey was angry but secretly happy, this was a great opportunity to make a move, of course he would not miss it, because although he didn't actually lose much, he came to a lion's big mouth to make a claim, in order to make this matter ungood, and had to use force to solve it.

The other lord who was plundered by Fernande was also furious because of this incident, and none of the lords of Negan were good at it, after Jeffrey asked for a joint army to seek justice. Although this lord was not as strong as Fernande, he also took advantage of the situation to send troops and declared war on Fernande with Jeffrey.

Jeffrey outperformed his opponent and fought with two to one. The other lords in the alliance think. This time Fernande is going to be in bad luck, in order to prevent Jeffrey from expanding further and forming a situation in which he is the only one in the alliance, the other lords have persuaded Fernand to lose money and settle the matter, but Fernande, who has never done anything at all, swallowed this breath.

"The other party has knocked on the door, do you want me to be a turtle with a shrunken head? There are no doors! Although Fernande is usually a relatively low-key kind among the lords, he is also very bloody when it comes to the end, "If you want to fight, I want to see how capable he Jeffrey is!" ”

But what is hidden behind this bloodiness is Fernand's deep helplessness, how can he not know that he will definitely lose this battle, but at this time, he can't show weakness, if he pinched his nose and lost money. After that, I am afraid that Geoffrey will ride on his head even more, and the other lords will also think that he is a soft persimmon, and there is no room for the weak to survive in the land of Negan.

On the contrary, if you stick to the end, fight to the death. Things may turn around, as long as he can inflict enough damage on Jeffrey. Other lords may not be able to rescue themselves, but it is very possible to take the opportunity to attack Jeffrey, after all, no one wants to see a powerful lord in the Ran Alliance who surpasses everyone become stronger and stronger, and then maybe he will have a chance to turn over.

After so many years in Ashigen, this has a lot to do with it, and Fernande still knows it clearly, otherwise, he wouldn't have occupied this land for so long.

Faced with two enemies at the same time, Fernande had no choice but to divide his forces to meet them, with one of his most trusted generals leading the battle against the relatively weak other, while he himself led the main force to meet Geoffrey's army in person.

As soon as the two sides fought, Fernand suffered a great loss. Not only did he lose thousands of troops, but the general he had previously recruited from the mercenaries was also unexpectedly killed, and even one of his two master-level magicians was also killed.

This kind of loss makes Fernande's heart bleed, and the loss of soldiers is just that, talented generals are not easy to find, let alone magicians, in Negan, a small lord like him, it is not easy to recruit magicians above the master level to serve him, he took a lot of effort and spent a lot of money, and finally took these two magic masters under his command, but he didn't expect to lose one in Geoffrey's hands.

In the following period, Fernand was repeatedly defeated, and the battle line retreated from the border between the two sides to the belly of his own territory, and the only good news was that the attack of another lord was blocked by his close general, and the two sides entered a stalemate. At this time, Jeffrey made another ruthless move, he was not busy attacking the city and seizing land, but began to plunder on a large scale, Jeffrey is not a fool. He knew very well that it was unrealistic for him to want to take down Fernande in one go this time, although he was strong. But it is not strong enough to that extent, he clearly understands the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, this time his purpose is only to seize a few towns in Fernand's territory that border with him, and further strengthen his strength, now that the goal has been achieved, the rest is how to get as many benefits as possible, and then try to talk about peace and collect troops, and if he continues to fight, it will only give other lords a chance to take advantage of it. You must know that after he and Fernande went to war, several lords around his territory were not so peaceful, and the movement of troops was very abnormal.

Jeffrey can thrive in this small league, relying on this kind of steady and steady, see the good and take it away, he knows very well what he should do, what kind of degree he can do, after this battle, Fernande has been injured, and he will not be his opponent after that. It's easy to clean him up.

If you are too greedy and want to eat a big fat man in one go, then the gains will outweigh the losses.

Receiving news that many villages and towns in his territory had been plundered by enemy troops, Fernande almost fainted.

But he couldn't beat it, but it was not a way to watch the other party act recklessly, and Fernand, who had a big headache, gathered his generals to discuss for most of the day. I haven't been able to come up with any good countermeasures. Angry, Fernande pointed at a group of subordinates and scolded the rice bucket.

After driving all these useless guys away. Fernande sulked for a moment, and suddenly thought of Chrissy, the leader of the Blackwing Mercenary Regiment.

During this period of time, there were several battles. Although Fernande has always been at a disadvantage, Chrissy is a woman who is quite eye-catching. She fought bravely against her Blackwing Silly Corps. Chrissy was even more of a pioneer, when other mercenary groups were implicated in the war and suffered heavy losses. She led her men to earn a large amount of gold from Fernande.

When Fernande found out about this situation, he simply tried to put all the mercenaries under Chrissy's command. Anyway, the battle situation is erosive, and he is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but after a try, the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries has improved significantly, although it is still irreversible, but it is helpful for the further deterioration of the battle situation.

Chrissy was quite impressed by the command and outstanding performance of Chrissy on the battlefield, and he suddenly realized that he might be able to ask the mercenary captain for his opinion on the current situation.

"Lord Earl, I'm just a mercenary." The female head of the summoned group looked rather surprised by Fernande's question, "This kind of thing is not something that I should be involved in as a mercenary!" I'm only in charge of fighting! And I'm not good at these things! I used to be just a junior officer! ”

Fenand, who had already made up his mind to take this for his own use, smiled and said, "Miss Chrissy, don't be so outside, your ability is obvious to all!" Well, this is my advice to your group, and if your suggestion is feasible, how about I pay an extra share for your mercenary group for this matter? ”

Hearing that Nande wanted to add money, the female head of the regiment was obviously a little moved: "Lord Earl, how much are you willing to add?"

"I believe you also know that I, Fernand, am not a stingy person, as long as you have a way to improve the current battle situation, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

The attitude shown by the female dump chief made Fernande secretly happy, and the other party asked this, indicating that she should have a way, and she likes money, so it is possible for her to be entrapped.

After hesitating for a while, the female leader finally made up her mind: "Lord Earl, I can't help to turn the tide of the battle, the enemy is too strong. But if it's just a matter of trying to reduce the losses, I have a solution."
