"Fed... Fidel, I wrote down the name. Orlando was sitting in the corner of a tavern, he didn't know if he was disgusted with the tavern's simplicity or the food in front of him, "And the damn Potato Mercenaries and Mercenary Guards! Even if they paid me three times, I wouldn't serve the Duchy of Magini!"

Orlando, who had just sat down and started cursing, was not looked at by the others in the tavern, because in the tavern, except for the head and deputy head of the widow mercenary group, the head of the guinea pig mercenary group, Birel, and Orlando's own deputy, Megna, the people who had been drinking in the tavern were all driven away. The three leaders of the Mercenary Guild deserve to be cleared by the boss here, and the guests who are already here don't dare to stay with them.

"And what if it's thirty times?" Reese never ate with anyone else when she ate, because that would show her veiled face to the others.

"Thirty times ... This also needs to be considered, it is better to let them send Fidel's head to me first, otherwise I will not accept it!" Orlando has been defeated twice by Fidel, the first time was the Oak Mercenary Regiment he sent. That time, Orlando was entrusted by the rebel cadre Clermont to instruct other mercenary groups to attack the potato mercenary group, and this time he himself was attacked head-on by the potato mercenary group, and the final result was not as good as he wanted.

"Hahaha, that guy named Feder does have some skills, but that's all he has!" Birrell gestured with his finger. He took Noor's enchanted weapon, which he planned to give to Nathaniel, the guild's chief blacksmith, and perhaps exchange it for a batch of enchanted weapons in the future.

Reese's deputy, Myra, said: "I have been in contact with Captain Fed, he is a man who dares to act bravely, neither does makeup nor pretentiousness..."

Before Myra finished speaking, Megna, the deputy head of the American Young Mercenary Regiment, choked back: "Really, who are you talking about?"

"Who knows who they are. Myra didn't even look at the other party, the mercenary who cut off her boobs with her own hands was more like a man, and the pink and tender Megnia was more like a woman.

"If it weren't for the dispersion of our mercenary group, if it weren't for the fact that your reinforcements didn't work at all! those mounted mercenaries wouldn't have had a chance!" Megna looked like a crying child, and her voice was sharp and thin.

"Obviously they are all mercenaries on foot, and they have to carry the cavalry head-on, isn't this stupid, what is it? You mercenary group is not to blame for its own losses, only to blame..."

Myra tried to sneer, but Reese had already waved her off, for Reese noticed that Orlando had suddenly become gloomy, like a haze covering his eyes. The most handsome male mercenary rarely looked like that, and Reese knew that Orlando was not something to be provoked with. This time, even Birrell, who was accustomed to laughing at others, did not speak, and sat at the end of the long table, alone tasting the best wine in the roadside tavern.

After the siege of Count Canham, it took Orlando five full days to gather all his scattered men. He lost nearly seventy percent of his mercenaries on foot, those mercenaries who were handsome in appearance and not bad in strength were his hard work, but he didn't expect to fall under the hooves of the mercenary defense regiment.

The widow mercenary group and the guinea pig mercenary group did not lose much strength, and the number of mercenaries they lost was within the acceptable range, after all, this battle gathered the three mercenary groups of the mercenary guild, and each leader received a very considerable reward, so a small loss is nothing.

After a brief reorganization, the three mercenary groups began to move southward, gradually withdrawing from the battle lines between the Duchy of Mageni and the Eastern Oguna Empire, preparing to return to their respective spheres of influence. The mercenary groups of the Mercenary Guild are several times more powerful than ordinary mercenary groups, and in their respective spheres of influence, they are also quite appealing, and can make other mercenary groups use them for their purposes. So Orlando, who had become accustomed to winning easily and not losing much, was very annoyed by the huge loss he had suffered, and he didn't say a word for the whole lunch.

"Reese, have you heard of the mercenary group that is about to join the guild?" said Birrell a rare serious question as he poured his wine.

"I heard, it's in Constable," Reese sat down at another table to eat with her back to the group, "the Wheel Mercenary Regiment, a new mercenary group, I heard that their mercenaries use chariots. ”

"It's the kind of chariot where a few horses pull a big wooden box in the front and a big wooden box in the back?" Birrell scoffed at this combat class, "that kind of chariot is bulky and expensive, and it has long been obsolete by the times!"

Myra continued: "In addition to that kind of chariot, the Wheel Mercenary Regiment has other chariots, and I heard that their leader is an excellent carpenter who is good at manipulating these things. ”

Birrell hiccuped, "Why are these juggling guys joining, it seems that even the guild leader will miss his eyes!"

"Regardless of their strength, their first mission is to go to the Sunrise Plateau to ask Constable for their guilt, and the guildmaster doesn't seem to be going to watch Constable roam freely in that new continent. Reese said, putting her fork down.

Megania asked, "It's irrational to put the heavy chariot on the ship and cross the sea." ”

"This is also part of the test of the Wheel Mercenary Regiment. ”

Orlando finally finished the not-so-tasty lunch in front of him, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and suddenly stood up, "I'm going back." ”

"Where are you going?" the others asked in unison.

Orlando touched his shield, "Go back and earn more commissions." ”

The army commanded by Duke Yannis and Count Endrida was approaching the camp of the Mercenary Guard, they had already passed through the city of Fonta, and Madame Eli opened the gates to entertain Duke Yannis as they passed, but she did not show up herself.

The nobles of the Duchy of Magini knew that Count Endrida and Madame Eli had once been husband and wife, and they also knew that the two had irreconcilable contradictions. After the collapse of the Southern Army, the murder of the old duke, the invasion of the eastern and northern parts of the principality, and the murder of the Count of Camhen and other powerful nobles, these two nobles of seniority and prestige became the last pillars of the Duchy of Magini. Among them, Count Endrida, who holds Duke Yannis in his hands, is the one who is more worthy of hope, even if there is not much hope left in the Duchy of Magini now, the Count who has always been a strong soldier is still one of the last hopes.

An envoy sent by Ludwig arrives at the mercenary camp of the Patriotic Guard, and before meeting with the envoy, Vittorio finds Fidel in private.

"My merchant eyeliner told me that Ludwig was beginning to take control of the situation, and that General Godara intended to move some of his troops to the south of the principality and then deal with the Winter Army in a defensive posture. This time Ludwig may have come to make some requests, and I asked the head of the regiment not to agree lightly. ”

Fidel nodded, "I see, I don't have that authority either." ”

"Ludwig's envoy chose to appear before the Duke of Yannis arrived, I am afraid that Ludwig wants to reach a private agreement between the two of you and the head of the regiment. ”

As Vittorio had expected, the envoy had just entered the camp and talked to him left and right, and only after Fidel had asked most of his captains to leave did the envoy take out Ludwig's letter.

"Captain Fidd, this is something of vital importance, please—" The envoy still distrusts Ayana behind Fidd, Vittorio and Patrick who are seated.

"These are my most important subordinates, don't worry," Fide opened the envelope, "this is..."

"That's what Lord Ludwig meant..."

Vittorio and the others could see something strange in Fide's eyes, and Ayana standing behind Fid didn't peek, but she could detect the special content from the envoy's sneaky expression.

After a while, Fidel said to the envoy, "Is that really what Lord Ludwig thinks?"

"That's right, that's what Master Ludwig really thinks... Now the assassins who wanted to plot against the Governor have been eliminated, so the Governor can focus all his energy on the battle, but if the East Oguna Empire is also defeated... Captain Field, should you also think about your future? ”

Vittorio guessed Ludwig's intentions after a moment's thought, and it was most likely that the letter contained something about recruiting Fidel, and if so, it should indeed have been placed before the Duke of Yannis arrived.

It wasn't until Fett arranged for the envoy to rest that Feder told the whole story to his most trusted people, Ayana, Patrick, and Vittorio.

Ludwig didn't just want to recruit the Potato Mercenary Corps, he also wanted Fidel to spy on Duke Yannis as the head of the Mercenary Patriotic Corps. In the letter, he beckoned to Fidel in the name of King Adam, who had already recognized Fidel's abilities, and the Winter Nation believed that rather than help the Duchy of Magini, where the edifice was about to fall, it would be better to imagine a better future, and the Kingdom of Cosey was an option worth considering, and everything in the past would not be taken into account.

Ludwig indicated that the Winter Army under his command and the Imperial Army might not be able to distinguish between victory and defeat in the short term, after all, the generals of the Eastern Oguna Empire were not vegetarians. The Kingdom of Kosai can be said to be fighting against the East Oguna Empire with all its might, but the East Oguna Empire can be scattered everywhere, including the West Oguna Empire in Doret City. Therefore, Ludwig gave a plan that would be beneficial to the potato mercenary group - to control the Duke of Yanis and make the Duchy of Mageni, which had lost more than half of its territory, a vassal state of the Kingdom of Cose.

This plan is somewhat similar to the original Duchy of Deraman's initiative to attach itself to the Kingdom of Sarins, the only difference is that the Duke of Yannis must be taken to Koseferti, the capital of the Kingdom of Cosey. To do this, it is first necessary to obtain the consent of those close to the Duke of Yannis. In his letter, Ludwig hinted that Count Endrida had made certain agreements with King Adam, and that the man closest to the Duke of Yannis was clearly not the most loyal.

"Instead of sacrificing one's body for equality, why not save one's body and stand behind us. Ludwig's exact words were true, and Fidel knew that this was a new way out for the Duchy of Magini, at least not to be divided by the Independent League.

Patrick glanced at Vittorio after reading it, "If Count Endrida has really promised the Winterlanders, then we may have to seriously consider it." ”

"No, Endrida certainly hasn't said yes yet, he'll be thinking about it. "Fidel understands some of Endrida's thoughts.

Seeing that Fide and Patrick's faces were solemn, Vittorio smiled, "The Winter Nation is really unreliable... Then let's hurry up and create victory with our own hands!"
