readx;? readx; When Fed's men learned of Maev's death, they couldn't believe that Maeve, who had recovered from her previous illness, would relapse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info These of Fidel's most trusted subordinates know very well what Maev's death means - Fidel has lost the most important helper in the Duchy of Mageni, and now everything can only be pinned on the Duke of Yannis, but even if he gains the Duke's trust, others will think that Fide is a careerist who staged a coup d'état.

Before Lady Eli leaves, Madame Eli promised to send an obituary to the entire Duchy of Magini within a short period of time, letting everyone know that Maeve had died of an incurable illness. She will also write in Maev's obituary about the formation of the New Southern Army, and the command of the New Southern Army will be given full command by Madame Eli to Duke Yannis, and letting Duke Yannis command is equivalent to letting Fid command, because the current Duke of Yannis can be said to be the most important bargaining chip in Fidel's hands.

Vittorio told Fidel that Herman was not re-imprisoned, that he was in charge of nominally commanding Count Endrida's army, and that he had lied that Count Endrida was recuperating due to illness. Patrick will be by Herman's side day and night to prevent the Lord from doing anything detrimental to the Potato Mercenaries.

"Miss Mave's death will certainly have a great impact on our current situation," Vittorio didn't seem to know that Livier and Rutz had come to see Fidel, "Duke Yannis' safety is very important. Commander, I suggest you communicate with the Duke and him, after all, he will soon be fifteen years old, and even if he has no talent, he is still very important to the whole army. ”

The other captains also echoed Vittorio, and Madame Eli and Maevie, who thought they could rely on, "fell", but Lord Herman was able to use them. If the troops summoned by Count Endrida are unable to obey Fidel's command, then before the emperor appears, the last power of the Duchy of Magini will begin to disintegrate from within.

The next day, Fei De personally came to the 30,000-strong military camp and took some of his men to inspect the army in Dumu City. After half a day's inspection, Fielder discovered that the army was a mix of militiamen, mercenaries, and prisoners, and some of them might have been bandits and robbers. In short, most of them were not well-trained regular troops, and their equipment and physique were not up to the average of Earl Camphen's men. They looked more like the township volunteers urgently summoned by Count Endrida, but they were stragglers, and their combat effectiveness was not strong.

In this way, Fidel's own more than 2,000 men were the best, followed by the 10,000 remnants of the Earl of Camhen, and the mercenaries of the Mercenary Patriotic Regiment were on par with the army of Dumu City. However, Fide can also understand that after all, the Duchy of Magini, which is not very rich and has a small population, does not have the conditions to hoard a large number of troops. Compared with the prosperity of the Oguna Empire, it is rare for Dumu City to be able to gather so many troops in a short period of time, and it will not be too different from the emperor in terms of numbers.

All of Endrida's subordinates were arrested under the lure of Herman, who cooperated with Fielder's plan very well, he did not complain at all, and his face was no longer resentful of Fielder, but Fielder knew that the resentment of the other party had seeped into Herman's heart.

"Captain Field," said Lord Herman, whispering as he followed Fielder around the barracks, "look... What should I do next?"

"The strategic deployment of the counterattack against the Eastern Oguna Emperor ** is underway, and there is still a waiting for the convergence of the new Southern Army. ”

Herman wanted to speak and stopped, he had long lost his original arrogance, and after losing Endrida as a big backer, he was just a poor worm who had to rely on others. dudu1;

"Sir has something to say, please. ”

"I... I have on my hands about Endrida and the Duchy of Noo... Duchy of Dlaman... The Eastern Oguna Empire, and the private letters of the Papal States, the contents of which were so far as to get him to be put to death..."As soon as Herman finished speaking, he took out a letter, which must contain what he had said.

Feder didn't expect this round-headed nobleman to lose his dignity and loyalty so quickly, and he actually handed over the evidence of Endrida's fornication with foreign enemies to Fed, which made Ayana standing behind Fetter very disdainful.

"You say these letters from Count Endrida in contact with other countries?"

"That's right... It's all in my custody. ”

"What's the content?"

"The contents... Roughly enough to be executed by the Duke of Yanis. ”

"You..."

Herman immediately nodded, "Ha, the Captain has misunderstood! I just hope that the Duchy of Mageni will be on the right path in the future! Whether it is the Count of Campham or the traitor Endrida, they both represent the past and the old! Excellent young people like Captain Fide and Captain Livel are what the Duke needs most... I'm willing to do the same thing..."Herman said as he peeked at Fidel's expression, but Feld had no expression but his inner disgust for Herman.

This kind of flattery didn't have any effect on Fidel, but Fed also knew that now was an important time to take advantage of the other party, so he didn't say anything, just let Lord Herman finish his current job. Perhaps for fear of being killed and thrown back into prison, Herman obeyed both Fentry and Fed's men, and even appeared in Patrick's presence all the time to gain the trust of the Potato Mercenaries. dudu2;

Feder glanced at the letters that Herman had handed over, which contained words spoken by Count Endrida to other nations, apparently copies of which Herman had recopied and kept for himself. There were also replies from other countries, and the content of the replies was as ambiguous as what Count Endrida had written, especially when Duke Yannis appeared in Dutim City, and Count Endrida's attitude became more and more ambiguous.

If these letters had been shown to the dead Earl of Canham, perhaps he would have risen from the ground in anger and stabbed Endrida to death with a sword. Fidel decided to throw the letter into the furnace, and Duke Yannis didn't need to read it, and he already knew the true face of the lord of Dumu City. Sure enough, as Madame Eli had said, the Count of Endrida had to be put to death, and he was endangering the country. Now that Maeve is dead, Feld has nothing to worry about.

Fett told Vittorio and the other captains about the idea of executing Endrida, and also told Madame Eli what he meant.

"I don't think this matter should be high-profile, wait until our army has gone out to fight, and then leave them behind, and then put them to death. Selena suggested.

"I also agree with Captain Selena. "Vittorio and the other captains are the same.

"What about the other nobles?"

Vittorio: "Their lives are kept, and killing too many people at once will only make people afraid." The current Duchy of Mageni is only tied to a taut string that can be pulled off at the slightest carelessness. Both mercenaries and those nobles will become losers because of this. ”

Noor teased: "I don't think we've failed at all! Ndrida has all the military money in our hands, we are mercenaries, if..."

"Nur, don't say such things!" Selena rebuked, "Our goal in accepting Duke Yannis's commission is to win this battle and repel Emperor East Oguna**, and we must not have the idea of running away with military funds!"

Everyone knows that Selena was born in the family of the chief knight and is still from the Papal States, so her once strong faith has also made her a mercenary completely different from ordinary mercenaries. The likes of Luca, Ligu, and Winotki all objected to Noor's little idea, and Fed was relieved by his men's reaction, which put his avoidance at ease. dudu3;

A few days later, news of Maeve's death spread throughout the Duchy of Magini. When Fed entered the city to meet a southern nobleman, he saw the grief-stricken populace, and countless commoners were red from crying and their voices were hoarse because of Mave's death. After Fidel let people know, it turned out that Mave had gained more and more prestige after becoming the commander of the Southern Army. She was unforgiving to the people, caring for the refugees who had fled, and would stand at the forefront of the fighting and beat the drums to the soldiers herself. Such a beautiful and brave noblewoman has become the hope of countless commoners of the principality, she is different from those pedantic and conservative nobles, all the commoners of the principality are warmed by her gentle smile, and everyone hopes that this noblewoman with an excellent background will become a hero to save the country.

After a series of defeats, the Duchy of Mageni has lost all its pillars, and now even the last glimmer of hope for the people has fallen, and the people in front of Fidel are not despairing.

"As soon as Miss Mauff died, the three southern cities announced that they would join the Principality of Independence before the end of September," Vittorio frowned, his expression similar to that of the pedestrians on the road, "Captain Satnam, who is running around with the Knights of the Church, is even more desperate to persuade those cities that originally belonged to the Principality to join the Independence Alliance, I am afraid that more and more principality nobles will announce their independence from the Principality of Magini in the near future, which is inevitable." ”

Feder remembered the map of the Duchy of Magini, which was already small, and less than a quarter of the land was under the control of the Duke of Yanis.

"And how many people are still on the side of Duke Yannis?"

"The four southern nobles who have just arrived in the city will all consider siding with Duke Yanis, but only for the sake of meeting with the head of the regiment before making a final decision. ”

As Fed walked into the castle's hall, four male nobles sat on either side, one of whom was familiar.

"It's Captain Field," a fat nobleman walked out quickly and shook hands with Field, "After we finish our discussions, Captain Fielder will come to my barracks for a light meal?"

Vittorio whispered in Fidel's ear, "This nobleman has brought three thousand troops. ”

The nobleman with a long pointed nose was the only nobleman in armor, and Fielder had recognized the other party as the viscount of Blue Indigo Castle, Jados.

Jados also shook hands with Fidel, "I didn't expect you to become the commander of our country's army when you were embarrassed, it's ironic," Viscount Jados and the other three said in a different tone, there were bones in his words, "You used to rebel against me, but I still want to see what you are capable of, why even Count Endrida handed over the army."
