Chapter 389: A White Hat
readx;
It wasn't until he walked back to the mercenary Patriotic Legion's barracks that Fidel raised his hand. There were a few drops of Vittorio's blood in the www.biquge.info, and Fidel glanced at the other party's face and realized that it was the blood that had been forced out of his internal organs because of his frustration, and it was the result of violent stimulation. At this point, Fidel recalls the mission that Vittorio had given him to accomplish - to protect the Duke of Yanis.
It is possible that the young Vittorio foresaw some uncertainties a long time ago as a native of the Duchy Magini, and those uncertainties were all related to the future of the Duchy Magini. As the only heir to the old duke, this thin duke was like a young sapling in need of protection, but unfortunately it was eventually torn apart by the wind.
"Captain Fidel, I've already conducted a reconnaissance, and the Count of Endrida has no intention of besieging the mercenary group... But also, they had the opportunity to attack us, but they didn't..."Lukka ended up talking to himself, and he was as frustrated as the other captains.
Fett stood behind his tent, hesitating for a long time before entering. He glanced back at his men - for more than a year, everything he had done for the duchy seemed to have been lost in the moment of Duke Yanis's death, and although Fed had been paid for the mercenaries, the result in front of him was not satisfactory at all, but rather powerless and frustrated.
Maybe ordinary mercenaries will pat their butts and leave, taking the payment in their hands and not bothering about the affairs of this country, but Fei De and the potato mercenary group have paid too much, and those efforts have become indelible memories, and Endrida's appearance is like burning all these efforts.
"Maybe this is the end of this country," Selena also sighed, "I think I've done my best, but bad luck continues to befall the Duchy of Magini, and it's a blessing that we can get out of it." ”
Vittorio bit his lower lip hard, and blood oozed from his bitten lip, a fraction of the blood gushing out of his body.
"It's not bad luck at all... Everything is a conspiracy..."Vittorio suddenly fell to his knees, and Ligu immediately leaned over, "Everything is a conspiracy! It's all a conspiracy!" Vittorio kept banging on the ground, and the sand in front of him was stained red with his blood. None of the other captains came over to comfort Vittorio, because they were all well aware that Vittorio didn't see them as true partners through and through. This young merchant of the Duchy of Mageni is using the Potato Mercenary Group to achieve his own goals, and his goal is to revive the Duchy of Mageni. Because of this, some of the captains also had thoughts of rejoicing in their hearts, after all, it was almost time for the potato mercenary group to leave this principality entangled in disasters and bad luck, after all, they were just mercenaries.
Fidel was perhaps the only one who was identified with Vittorio and confirmed as a companion. However, at this time, Fidel only closed his eyes, hiding the loss in his eyes, and deeply felt that God did not fulfill people's wishes - as if every time the Duchy of Magini was given a chance to be reborn, Heaven would immediately destroy this hope.
"Commander, what are we going to do?"
"Let's clean up first," Feder saw Levier in the distance, the rebel cadre who once thought he was in control of everything just glanced here and walked away, "Dutim City should still be under the control of Lady Eli, let's go back to Dutree City to gather, and then send someone to inform Jasmine in Black Swamp City, so that she can join us as soon as possible." ”
"That's... What about the covenant that was led by you, Commander, in the first place? Ludwig might have only recognized you as Captain Fidel, if he knew..."
Fide looked to the north, "Even if Endrida jumps out and takes over everything at this moment, I'm willing to leave something behind." ”
Eventually, Fidel chose to leave a letter to Endrida, which talked about Ludwig, about the surrender of Black Swamp, and about the lurkers who might exist in the occupied city. The only thing that hasn't been talked about is the direction that Phylla might choose.
With the exception of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, all the mercenary regiments in the Mercenary Guardian Regiment were informed of the disbandment by Endrida's men. Of course, these mercenaries can continue to stay here to serve the Duchy of Magini, but they also have the right to know that Duke Yannis has passed away, and the potato mercenary group and the civilian mercenary group that have been leading them are also leaving.
When Feder and the Potato Mercenary Regiment had packed their bags, Lord Herman led a small group of people to Fed.
"Captain Fed," Herman said, having regained his former appearance of a fox and a tiger, "I'm here to give you a ride." ”
"No need. ”
"No, no matter how you say it, you have brought countless honors to Dumu City and the Duchy of Mageni, and you have contributed a lot to the fact that the Duchy of Mageni is where it is today. ”
Feder was in no mood to pay attention to the other party's cold words, "That's what Count Endrida sent you to talk about?"
"Hahaha," Herman laughed in front of many hostile eyes, "Of course not, my uncle asked me to tell Captain Feld that Black Swamp City is back under the control of our Duchy Magini... This matter is basically certain, and we can at least make up for the suffering you have brought to this country, Captain Field. ”
Fidel's subordinates were stunned, Black Swamp City had both Jasmine and other mercenaries, as well as Ludwig's subordinates, how could it be recaptured by Endrida?
However, they soon learned from Herman's swaggering attitude that he had left a hand long before Endrida led his army to join Field. Not only did Endrida buy off the mercenaries who remained in Black Swamp, but he also sent an army to the east of Black Swamp. That army joined forces with the mercenaries in the city, using vehicles to pass through the vast swamps outside of Black Marsh and attack Black Marsh's only weak point. Ludwig's men had no idea that the suffocating swamp would turn into a secret passage for a surprise attack, so the unsuspecting Winter Army died in the raid.
The recapture of Black Swamp City was only a day ago, but from what Herman said, it could be guessed that Black Swamp City should be recaptured, after all, the news there could not be transmitted so quickly.
Fei De clenched the handwritten letter in his hand and crumpled it with one hand, "It turns out that the capital has been recovered, and it seems that Count Endrida has already planned everything." ”
Herman laughed again, "Captain Field, I am loyal to my uncle's honorary knight, so I will not hide it from you, I only pretended to obey you in order to rescue the nobles of other principalities. ”
Everyone else thought that this lord was a parasitic coward, but reality slapped them hard. Perhaps none of this is due to Herman now, but there is no doubt that he did not betray his uncle.
When all the members of the Potato Mercenary Regiment left the barracks of the Mercenary Patriotic Regiment, some of the mercenaries began to leave the barracks one after another. They went either south or west, but rarely east.
"Is this the end?" said Fidel, his voice lowered, his words only Ayana could hear.
Until Fidel led his men to the west, he didn't see Jados or Levere. All three of them were expelled from the barracks by Endrida, and both of them lost everything they had before due to the assassination of Duke Yanis, faster than a meteor could fall. Fidel and the rest of his men couldn't even get the last look of Duke Yannis, so they had to say goodbye. At the thought that all their efforts had come to naught, the captains could not get rid of the frustration and gulped down their wine.
"Fidel, the future of the Duchy of Magini..."
"I'll leave it to Count Endrida. Feder remembered that he had been charged with "stealing mercenaries", if he hadn't arrested Endrida out of fear, would the situation be different now? Maybe Count Endrida and other mercenaries could work together against the East Oguna Empire, and Duke Yannis would not necessarily die a tragic death.
Fett remembered Saresa's face, was it really the one who untied Robin, or was it something to do with Endrida?
Vittorio, who was at the end of the line, did not say a word, and the short merchant who was only sixteen years old suffered two major blows in just half a day. For him, the Duke of Yannis is the last hope of the country, even if the Duke of Yannis is weak and incompetent, but without him, the Duchy of Mageni will not have the slightest hope of revival.
Early the next morning, as Feder was about to continue his journey in the direction of Duji City, a surprising thing happened.
Vittorio's curly hair was all dyed white.
After only one night, Vittorio's face was as dry and yellow as if he had not recovered from a long illness, and his hair was the most frightening of colors, whiter than candles and lime, not silver but miserable. Vittorio didn't seem to know about it, and it wasn't until Winoti took out the mirror to the other party that Vittorio saw the change in his appearance.
"It's okay, don't worry about me. Vittorio was about to reach for his hair when a handful of gray hair fell to the ground. No one expected that a young boy who was still a minor would become like this overnight, but it was conceivable that his heart continued to beat under the torture and pain.
Rigu immediately took Vittorio for a check-up, and although he hadn't been cured of a whitehead overnight, he knew how to reduce hair loss.
With the exception of Vittorio, none of the other captains slept well. Their faces were either tired or disappointed, and no one could adjust their mood to the great frustration in a day, including Phyll, who was the head of the regiment. Even Franklin, who had always only valued money, frowned, as if the gold coins were unusable scrap metal.
"Selena, is that what you call 'never afraid of a strong enemy'?" Fenrir was relatively normal, "In my opinion, it's nowhere near as good as I was... Someone you know. ”
Selena was in a bad mood, and she responded angrily: "It seems that we have not been defeated by the enemy, but by fate. ”
"Fate? I don't think so, the failure of the Potato Mercenary Regiment is that you don't put yourself in the right position at all, you are just a mercenary with good strength, not a ruler, let alone a savior. ”
Fenrir deliberately spoke a little louder, and his words were heard by Fidel. But Feld didn't say anything, because Fenrir just got it right.
