"There are still rebels who have managed to break through," Patrick walked into the place where Fidel was sleeping with a copy of the latest information, they were far away from the city of Decree, and even far away from the central part of the Duchy of Magini, "but all the forces gathered by the conservatives of the rebels have come to naught, and the information received shows that the rebels in the Duchy of Mageni are now only stragglers hiding everywhere, and it is basically impossible to organize and unite into a force that can make a difference." ”

Fett nodded and took the intelligence document, and he had arrived in the Southern Army's sphere of influence with his men and a small number of Rebels a day earlier. With the support of more and more southern nobles, the Southern Army became the second force against the invaders, and in addition to the regular army and the mercenary Patriotic Regiment, the Southern Army was already the hope of many Mageni principalities. In particular, the brave and beautiful Miss Maevie, a stoic noblewoman who always insisted on standing at the forefront of the battlefield and personally commanding the battle against the invasion, made the principalities admire.

Vittorio and the other wounded were also treated by the Southern Army, who could not see that Vittorio and the others were members of the Rebels. At this time, Meifu was not here, so Feide, who was Meifu's friend, naturally gained a lot of right to speak, and some generals of the Southern Army planned to tie up Feide in order to improve his status in the Southern Army.

"I suggest we must make a decision as soon as possible," the only people in the camp were Patrick and Ayana, who were Fed's right-hand men, "Miss Maeve is far to the east, and we should either go back to the rear first to put things in order, or find a way to contact Jasmine and Selena, but whichever one is chosen, we shouldn't stay here for too long, because not everyone is like that Baron Robin, who will deliberately let us go." ”

Patrick's last words were obviously a reminder to Fidel, of course Fei De knew that he had become a suspect in the murder of the old duke with Yu Tian, the leader of the Rain Mercenary Corps, before leaving Decree City - the old duke died, and the news of the little duke's whereabouts spread throughout the Duchy of Mageni in just three days, and even the soldiers of the individual southern army would look at Fei De and his party with special eyes. It's just that because the Southern Army is separated from the political center of the Duchy of Magini, and Maev and Lawrence have not declared that they want to avenge the old duke, their self-reliance has begun to appear.

"Although we are suspicious, Zebuba, who disappeared with us, is also suspicious, and the suspicion is even more severe on a rainy day," Fidel put down the information, and Ayana just listened silently, she generally did not express her opinion, "The Duchy of Mageni has no time to take care of the disappearance of the little duke, and we don't need to worry too much." What Feder said by "no time to care" is because Ludwig's surprise attack on the Black Swamp has already had an effect. The army that had broken through the northern defenses was already threatening the capital of the Duchy of Magini, and Black Marsh now had few troops, and it could only rely on its high walls to withstand Ludwig's attacks. At the same time, the nobles in the western part of the duchy were ambiguous, and they did not send a single reinforcement to the east and north after signing a peace treaty with the Duchy of Noo, as if the rich land belonged to the Duke of Oldington.

The northern part of the Principality was powerless in the face of the Winter Army's attack, and with no supplies and no support, they became isolated islands. The regular army that defeated the conservative side of the rebel army must also return to the division to rescue the capital immediately, and those eastern nobles who were expecting reinforcements instantly became outcasts, and they can only temporarily fight against the invading army of the East Oguna Empire alone, and pray that the southern army will support them as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely not be able to resist the imperial army that has much more troops than the Winter Army.

"Even if they provoke the Kosai Kingdom and the Eastern Oguna Empire now, these two powers will not give up their plans to carve up the Duchy of Mageni. Fear... I am afraid that without the duke, the Duchy of Mageni without foreign aid will be destroyed in the near future. ”

Patrick's analysis was not a distant prediction, and Feder was looking at the map of the Duchy's battle situation and thinking seriously about what he would do if he were Maeve and Viscount Lawrence, or the commander of the regular army. Judging from the current situation, the Duchy of Magini can only withstand the invasion of one side at best, and this side is most likely not to the east, but to the north.

Together with the other captains, Fid analyzed the current situation in the Duchy of Magini, and it was clear that the assembled forces of the Southern Army were not capable of stopping the invading army of the Eastern Oguna Empire, and the Imperial Army was more than four times the number of the Southern Army. These soldiers, who had been on the northern front of the East Oguna Empire, were the most elite troops, and they felt a lot of headaches in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Winter Nations, but the Plate of Loose Sand and the Principality of Mageni immediately became the "soft persimmons" in their eyes, and it was not difficult to defeat the self-defended lords one by one.

On the other hand, the Kingdom of Kosai only sent a small number of troops to attack the Duchy of Mageni, and if the Southern Army could resist the Winter Kingdom together with other regular armies and mercenaries, it might achieve unexpected results. Both Feder and his subordinates agreed on this strategy, and Feder immediately sent a letter to Mave and Lawrence, hoping that they would consider his opinion.

"Without the two dukes, I don't know who will inherit the rule of the Duchy of Magini..."Winotki looked more annoyed than the sudden appearance of many suitors.

"I guess no one dares to inherit, and whoever can repel the invading army is qualified to become the next ruler of the Duchy of Magini," Luka's words were nodded in agreement by Vega and Nur, "Forcibly trying to sit on the duke's throne now will only become the target of public criticism, making those nobles who care about self-preservation even more reluctant to send troops to support." ”

"With that said, the Duchy of Mageni may really be doomed... Why are those nobles so selfish ... Obviously, everyone is from the Duchy of Majni... Don't they have this land—" Fidel could understand Winotki's feelings, but how could a war between nations be controlled by a mercenary group, unless a mercenary had the power to turn the tide...

Ayana had personally examined the eight parchment scrolls she had brought back from the Great Library, and she and Feder had come to the same conclusion - the words engraved on them were most likely intended to conceal the true purpose of these parchment scrolls, and now they had to return to the Duji City to see that the self-proclaimed heir of magic was gone, and only the other party could decipher the secrets of the parchment scrolls.

After their men left, Mary and Lazrov found Fidel, "We are going to rescue the leader of Lyon! You also said that he is in the Black Swamp! If there is no leader of Lyon, the rebels will be destroyed along with the Duchy of Mageni!" Mary has regained her original arrogance, and her domineering "farewell" made Fede smile bitterly in her heart.

Lazrov also agreed: "Captain Fidel, we have received your favor and will definitely repay you, but the leader of Lyon is our most important leader, Ouss is dead, Rutz and Zifka don't know where to go, and now Ouss's plan has ravaged this land, and the people here have been ravaged by invaders, which is not what our rebels want to see... I have contacted some of the rebel cadres who have escaped, and they all intend to re-establish the leader of Lyon. ”

"What you have to do is your freedom, and I have no intention of hindering you. ”

Mary gritted her teeth, she glanced down and then looked up at Fed: "Since you've helped us, why don't you consider joining us!?"

Feder was stunned, "Join you?"

"Of course! Hmph! I can see that you are different from ordinary mercenaries, and your conscience has not been completely extinguished! How about it, consider working with us! Anyway, you murdered the old duke..."

"I didn't do that, the assassination of the old duke is still a mystery, and neither I nor my men are involved. ”

Lazrov: "I also think that Captain Fid is not a murderer, he has no motive for the murder, and I think the head of the regiment called Yutian is very suspicious." The mercenary kept directing the other mercenary groups out, and she kept getting close to the Duke of Yannis... If her true identity isn't from our rebels, then why would she do it..."

Fidel didn't give any more explanation, "Are you going to take Vittorio with you?"

"My brother... Hmph, I haven't been able to forgive my brother yet!" Mary hugged her chest, her petite boobs were so large that Fed's eyes didn't dare to look at him directly, "Even if he had any troubles, it would have been stupid to break away from our rebel organization in the first place!"

"Vittorio, didn't he join Captain Fidel's mercenary group?"

"That's right, I'm going to..."

The tent was suddenly opened, and Vittorio, who had to pull the tent to stand firmly, shouted: "I'm no longer a mercenary!

Vittorio was bandaged with a white cloth in many places, and Mary, who had just said that she couldn't forgive her brother, had already walked over quickly and held Vittorio, as did Lazrov, who was supposed to be recuperating and was obviously unable to sleep peacefully due to irritability.

Fett stood up, and he and Vittorio looked at each other - the other person's eyes were full of frustration, disappointment, anger and reluctance, Vittorio's plan had Fett's part, but neither Fed nor Vittorio's businessman friend knew the full plan of the other. As the merchant friend said, Vittorio is a businessman who will take most of the risks of his plans and will also take most of the rewards if he succeeds.

"I've lost all my money, I have nothing... All the rewards you promised you were promised have come to naught... But I don't owe you anything, I said I was just using your mercenary group... And..."

Fidel interrupted Vittorio's self-reflection, "Indeed, it was my decision to agree to cooperate with you, and even if it didn't get a reward, it was part of the risk I had to take, and I didn't blame you." ”

"No way! You've paid so much... How can you not blame me?"

"Because when I agreed to work with you, I saw you as a companion," Vittorio, who was still wooden-faced, angry and self-esteem-wounded, was clearly touched by the word "companion", "the days we spent together are not fake, and as long as we are not dead, we have a chance to make a comeback." ”
