Chapter 11: The Fall of the Kingdom

When Fidel, who was in the Far North, learned of the news, he immediately walked outside Vittorio's room instead of calling all the captains for a meeting, while holding a plate of food that should have been brought into the room by Mary's own hands.

"Count Endrida died in his own bed, rumored to be the work of the rebels, and Black Swamp gave up its resistance when the last trunk fell, but the former capital of the principality had not yet been determined. ”

After the mercenary who delivered the message finished telling the news, what Endrida had said and what he had done appeared in Feide's mind one by one. Although Count Endrida is a nobleman with a deep city, unscrupulous and mercenary, he has always maintained an accepting attitude towards Fidel, even if it is his own daughter, he has also thought of respecting Maevie's choice and letting her choose a mercenary as her son-in-law.

Fidel understood early on that there were many things that Endrida had to do, and that was the best way to do it. The sudden fall of the Duchy of Mageni was not the fault of Endrida, but the count, who was far away, supported it to the end, but the people around him had already left, and the Duchy of Mageni could not escape the fate of being destroyed in the end.

It is rumored that Endrida's nephew, Lord Herman, has taken refuge in Ludwig, and perhaps Fidel will meet the other party again in the future, while Endrida's ex-wife, Madame Eli, has led the southern nobles of the Duchy of Mageni into the arms of the Independent Alliance, and it is possible that when Fidel returns to that land, Lady Eli will no longer be there.

With all sorts of moods, Fidel could knock on the door when the door to Vittorio's room opened. A thicker coat than Vittorio's was draped over the short merchant, who was clasping the sides of his coat with both hands, looking up at Fidel.

"Come in, it's too cold in here. ”

This was the first time Vittorio had spoken to Fett in two months, and Feder hurriedly placed the plates full of food on the table, closed the doors and windows, and when he closed the door, he noticed that Mary was standing a short distance outside the door staring at him, as if he was afraid that Feder would steal her child.

Vittorio immediately sat back on the bed, wrapped himself in a quilt, and covered his head with a thick coat, revealing only a small face and a few tufts of white curly hair.

"Count Endrida is dead, dead at the hands of the Rebels," Feder moved his chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, "the Duchy of Magini..."

"In other words, the Duchy of Magini has completely disappeared," Vittorio's face was not bad, and his tone of voice was normal, "This is expected, but I didn't expect Count Endrida to escape the palm of the rebels." ”

"The rebels seem to be particularly good at assassination. ”

"There are so many people in the rebel organization who are not afraid of death, they all live in the lowest part of the city, and those who live at the bottom will always find a way to move, because they have to bear the pressure from above. ”

"However, the Black Swamp City has not been determined, and it is said that the nobles under Endrida are divided into three factions, some want to join the Independent Alliance, some want to join the Duchy of No, and some plan to join the Kingdom of Kose, only..."

"Only no one wants to preserve the Duchy of Magini, no one inherits the Duke of Yanis, and no one inherits Endrida's will. ”

Fett was always attentive when talking to Vittorio, and the gray-haired teenager never looked at other unimportant places, so Fett could feel that Vittorio had recovered a lot, both physically and mentally.

"Yes. Fidel paid attention to Vittorio's expression.

Vittorio stretched out his hand from the quilt, picked up the cup full of hot water, and took a sip, "This is the fate of that country, no one can change it," he took his eyes off the cup after saying this, "This news has little impact on us, if there is any connection, it may be that Captain Feld needs to appease those mercenary subordinates from the Duchy of Magini a little." ”

"You... You don't have any other opinion on this?" Fidel noticed that Vittorio was no longer talking, and he decided to follow-up.

"Didn't Lord Herman flee before? It means that there is already a discord of people in the Black Swamp City, and even if it is not the work of the rebels, those who do not support Count Endrida will blame the Count's death on the rebels. Vittorio didn't think about what Feder had said, and Feder realized once again how far apart his thinking was from that of a smart businessman.

Vittorio yawned softly, "That country has fallen, and I'm going to rest..."

Before Vittorio could finish speaking, Mary pushed the door open from outside the house and stood between Vittorio and Fed.

"My brother is going to rest, please leave, commander. ”

Fylde had no choice but to walk out of the room, and Mary followed.

"Vittorio he... He's all right, right?"

"He's in a much worse state physically and mentally after that incident," Mary put on a cold face again as soon as she closed the door, "he used to be able to sleep all nights thinking about things, but now he can't do that, and this is not the Duchy of Mageni, don't expect my brother to help you with anything." ”

Ayana and Patrick appeared around the corner, they had obviously just learned that the last flame of the Duchy of Magini had also been extinguished, and they came to Vittorio's side for the first time, and it seemed that they also had a heart.

"Isn't Vittorio's body recovering from Ligu's conditioning?"

"He now sleeps more than twelve hours a day, sometimes even sixteen hours! I don't know why, Ligu doesn't know anyway... Anyway, it's very rare that my brother is willing to come to such a cold and snowy place with you, so treat my brother well!" Mary walked away after speaking, the female rebel didn't seem to have much emotion about the destruction of the Duchy of Magini, but Fede knew that her brother cared most about her.

Patrick and Ayana then walked up and told Fidel that the other captains had been informed of the news, and that Jasmine had sent someone to appease the mercenaries who had lost their home country.

"I'm guessing Black Marsh will eventually become part of the Independence League," Patrick is more comfortable with the cold weather, "The Independence Alliance is still expanding, and I've heard that some of the lords of other countries have made private agreements with the archbishops, and they are not as loyal to their own country as they used to be. ”

At this moment, the voice of the young merchant came from the Vittorio Gate.

"Captain Fidel, please tell Ludwig what happened about the treasure hunt, and don't hide anything. If Ludwig were to use your strength, he would help you get through the way. ”
