The iron mask that covered his face had changed, unlike what Feld had seen in the Stone Chair Chamber. Lutz's new iron mask covered most of the forehead and above, like a thin iron helmet. On the top of the head and the back of the head, there is some thinning hair, and the rest of the body is under the mask. Only the left eye is exposed, and behind a hole in the iron, the skin around the eye can be seen to have burn marks.

From a few small holes in the nostrils of the mask came Lutz's low and hoarse voice, "Captain Feid, we meet again, first congratulations on you getting today's status." Your methods are better than other mercenaries on the mainland, and I'm so jealous that my whole body is itching..."

Lutz's voice trembled, and Field, who couldn't see Lutz's expression, didn't know if the other party would really itch all over his body, but seeing the burned skin at the junction between Lutz's neck and chin would make anyone's scalp tingle. Although it was the end of August and it was autumn, Lutz was dressed as if it were winter, wrapping his body tightly. Fidel couldn't see through, but he could probably guess what his body looked like in black.

"After the death of Sir Luthers, Your Excellency is the rightful heir to the title of Duke of Noò," Phyll's tent also included Ayana, "You don't need to be jealous of a mercenary with this kind of background. ”

From the depths of his throat came a trembling laugh from Lutz, "Hahaha... The heir to the Duke of Noo's throne? But also, how can the supreme ruler of a principality allow a man dressed in a woman's clothes to rule... But I don't have the slightest interest in that location..."

"Interested in the Duchy of Mageni instead?"

"Oh, no, of course not," Lutz was still standing and talking to Fidel, and Levier had already sat down on his own, "This country is on its way to destruction, but its transformation and rebirth will be the country that I and I have always dreamed of, and it will also annex my father's Duchy of Noo in the future, and eventually unify the entire continent... It's a pity that my body has been destroyed, and I can't rule such a country... But—" Lutz said the crazy things to himself, and even Ayana felt the madness of the masked man.

Levier interrupted Rutz slightly, "Captain Fidel, the reason why my master wants to meet with you is to discuss the true identity of Duke Yannis. ”

As soon as Fidel heard this, his chest felt as if something was tightening - the truth that Duke Yannis was not the old duke only Madame Dourty, Leon, Rainy Sky and himself knew, why did Levier know?

"What do you mean?"

"That's what it means, Captain Fidel," Levier stretched, "you don't know that Duke Yannis is not the biological son of the old Duke Yannis, do you?"

Fidel did not hesitate to deny that he knew.

Li Wei shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, are you surprised when you know about it now, Commander? No, right... In other words, the fourteen-year-old boy is not qualified to sit in the current position at all. He's taking on responsibilities and pressures that don't belong to him, and if Duke Yannis knows that, maybe he'll feel miserable too, right?"

"Unfounded speculation and accusations," Fed didn't expect to find himself saying these words, and when Vittorio left, "you're the deputy head of the Mercenary Guards." ”

"Yes, the Mercenary Guards are defending the Duchy of Majni... And the truth about the Duke of Yannis's origins..."Levier's expression was like talking about the sweet and sour taste of a certain cart of oranges on the street, "I happen to hold the key to unlocking the truth, and if I want, in three days, the whole continent will know the true origin of Duke Yannis." ”

Fidel finally saw the face of Levier, a rebel cadre who was regarded by Vittorio as a wise man, not only unscrupulous, but also more ambitious than anyone else. He did everything he could to bring down the ruler of the country, and in the end, even the young Duke Yannis could not escape his clutches.

Standing behind Fidel, Ayana could sense Fidd's killing intent, and she gently moved her steps to the side, her hands moving. The two in front of him, whether they were Li Wei or Lutz, did not seem to be strong martial artists.

"So what are you going to do?"

Levier tilted his head and glanced at Ayana, "Captain Feide, your subordinates seem to have a lot of opinions about me, you can stop it first." Only then did Fidel realize that Ayana had shown hostility, like a beast slowly approaching.

"Levier, let me tell you," Lutz pushed with his left hand, revealing the sword under his cloak, but Feder didn't care if the other party was carrying a sword, "It doesn't matter whose son Yannis is... We just need this duke to be our puppet. He's obviously not the right person to rule this country, and Captain Field, you agree with us in your heart..."

"Nope. ”

"An incompetent, weak, and wrong-blooded person can only become a marionette on the stage. And those who are able to control everything that remains, this is what the people of this country want to see, and this is what really benefits this country. Levier answered.

"I've been ridiculed as a mercenary stealing the country, and it looks like you'd like to join in. ”

Levier and Lutz glanced at each other, "Duke Yannis is still Duke Yannis, and the Duchy of Mageni is also the Duchy of Mageni, but the blood of this country is flowing into the new. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, the new country will also have half of you. "Levier made it very clear that it was an invitation.

"What if not?" Ayana asked suddenly.

"I'm sure you'll definitely work with us, Captain Feide. Levier replied with a smile without glancing at Ayana.

Lutz took two steps closer and propped his hands on the table in front of Fed, "You should think about our proposal... Are you just a mercenary from afar, are you really obliged to give so much and sacrifice so much for this country? Maybe one day you will die in your dreams... Die at the hands of the civilians and soldiers who seem to embrace you..."The iron-masked leader of the rebels stared at Fid with his left eye wide open, and after saying this, he was silent for ten seconds before turning to leave, and Levier also stood up and walked to the tent.

"Captain Fidel, Vittorio was still a child, and he always thought that he could save the country without radical change, without complete innovation, but I knew that was wrong. You mercenaries are different, mercenaries have the keenest insight into how things are going, so be sure to accept our advice and cooperate with us, this is the best choice for your group. With that, Levier walked out of the tent.

Fei De breathed a long sigh of relief, "Ayana, what do you think?"

"They are enemies, they are coercing and enticing. ”

What Fidel thought in his heart was just as Ayana said, it was impossible for Lutz and Levier to be friends with the Potato Mercenary Group at all, they were just taking advantage of Vittorio's absence, putting pressure on themselves and coercing and seducing them. Ayana didn't ask much about Duke Yannis's background, she just suggested that this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and even consider eradicating these two people and the remnants of the rebels.

Sitting alone in the tent, Feder suddenly felt that the struggle for power had become completely integrated with his own life. The higher the Potato Mercenary Group and themselves climb, the more often this kind of thing will happen. Whether it's putting Count Endrida under house arrest, taking over the opposing army, or using Duke Yannis as a puppet and controlling everything from behind, Fede feels depressed. This Game of Thrones was supposed to be insulated from the mercenaries, but Feder had unknowingly reached this position, and it was basically impossible to go back. At this moment, if Fei De is not careful, his life may fall into the center of the whirlpool, drowning in strife and ambition.

Lutz's last words also touched Fidel - is it really necessary to pay so much as a mercenary? Even the Earl of Camhen, who is passionate about the principality, will be regarded as a stubborn and stupid loser by countless principalities. So what will you get in exchange for what you are doing now?

It wasn't until dawn that Fei fell asleep, and the invisible sense of oppression left Fei at a loss. Maybe his fellow mercenaries are trustworthy, but no one can say anything about the uneasiness in Feide's heart, even Ayana can hardly understand his uneasiness at this time, the kind of uneasiness that is getting closer and closer to the limit.

When Fide woke up, he saw the white dove that Vittorio had sent back. Herman was able to take command of the army under Patrick's watchful eye with great success, and there were no doubts among Endrida's men, nor did Herman make any moves. It is believed that it will only take one more day for the last forces of the Duchy of Magini to merge and become a force sufficient to fight to the death against the Imperial Army.

Levier did not reappear, and Noor, who had been sent to spy on the civilian mercenary group, said he saw a man resembling Lutz riding out of the barracks. Just as Fide pondered whether to tell Vittorio, who would return tomorrow, Ligu staggered over.

The anxious Ligu seemed to bite his tongue, "Tuan... Regiment... Commander..."

"Speak slowly. ”

"That medicine... That blue potion you gave me..."

Feder looked at the other party's nervous expression, and immediately realized the problem, "There's still half a bottle, isn't it? I'll let you make a little more for backup, after all, it has a miraculous effect on restoring health..."

"I... I finally know what's in the potion... That blue potion contains a very special, very special substance... I don't know how the blender found it, but something that was only written in a book was mixed in... And that—" Ligu began to say something that Phyd didn't understand at all, something related to esoteric medicine.

"But Maev is already well. ”

"No, Captain!" Sweat trickled from the tip of Ligu's nose to the vamp, "Anyway... Anyway, Miss Maeve is in danger right now!"
