Early the next morning, news spread throughout the city and around the city that the Duke of Yannis was living in the city. Vittorio was a successful businessman, and he used his connections and financial resources to quickly spread the news of the "loyal deeds" of Count Endrida and the safety of Duke Yanis, and these news also spread further afield with the merchants who had left the city in their carriages.

By noon, many people had gathered in front of the castle of the Dugon and shouted the name of the Duke of Yannis, hoping to see the little duke protected and the hope of the Duchy of Mageni.

Endrida and Herman knew of course that this was Fidel's ploy, but the Earl had thought of a solution when Duke Yannis had escaped. He personally took the hand of Duke Yannis and brought the duke, who was about the same age as a child, to the people, and Endrida declared that he would do everything in his power to protect Duke Yannis and protect the country, and not let the people down.

The news of the Duke of Yannis spread quickly, and the Southern Army immediately sent people to Dumu City to swear allegiance to Yannis. The nobles of the west did the same, but they kept their armies in their cities. The regular army of the central duchy and the mercenary guards proposed to send troops to bring back Duke Yannis, but this proposal was rejected by Count Endrida, who believed that Black Swamp City was now in great danger, so Duke Yannis must not return to Black Swamp City. As for the fact that the head of the Rainy Day took Duke Yannis, Endrida did not explain anything in the statement, obviously he had a private agreement with the female mercenary, otherwise Rainy Day would not have chosen Count Endrida among so many nobles and brought the little duke here.

With Endrida's approval, Feder was given the opportunity to meet privately with Duke Yannis, and in front of Duke Yannis on a rainy day, Fidel also told him and his men about the plan he had agreed upon.

"How can you be sure that the man named Ludwig will not also target the rest of the Duchy of Mageny?" "Rainy day has always stood behind Duke Yannis, and even though Fidel has been through something important with her, she is still wary of everyone except Duke Yannis.

"Not entirely sure," Fidel recalled what Vittorio had taught him, "but this is our only chance, and without the help of others, the Duchy of Magini will not be immune to disaster, and our enemies are not out of the question." Duke Yannis held his chin and listened intently to Fidel's analysis, and he would nod his head as Fide explained the plan.

"I know that the enemy is strong... It's powerful... So the only people I can rely on are you," Duke Yannis waited until Fede had explained the plan in detail before sitting back upright, "Captain Rainy Day told me that there will definitely be traitors around me, but there are too many foreign enemies in the Duchy of Mageni now! So I trust you! Captain Fidel, please let it go, even if you have to pay the price of half of the country, I can understand!"

The Duke of Yannis was surprised by the growth of the Duke, who had suddenly become a big-hearted and ambitious young ruler, perhaps thanks to Rainy Day, because when Duke Yannis said a word, the teenage boy would look back at Rainy Day.

"All we need is your approval, Lord Duke. ”

"How can that be!?" Duke Yannis looked back at the rainy day, "I will personally draft an edict to give Captain Feder this power, so that I can have a bargaining chip." ”

Although Yutian immediately agreed, she still had a skeptical attitude: "The progress of this plan must be reported to me and the Duke at any time, although you don't smell of lies, but this does not mean that your plan is a suitable plan." ”

Immediately after leaving the castle, Fidel began to prepare Vittorio's plan - to contact Ludwig and offer him an attractive "reward" to make him a force to stop the Imperial Army in East Oguna.

"We must go together this time," Squadron Leader Jasmine first put forward his thoughts, "that Ludwig can still resist if he suddenly shows his malice." ”

Noor chimed in, "I think so too, that guy has a bad stomach! he showed it at the Battle of Doret, and this kind of guy must be on guard... I don't think Ludwig can be trusted, but since it's Captain Fidel, you've decided... Just take me with you! I'm going to keep you safe!"

Some of the other captains also expressed their concerns before Feder's final decision, but Fed had already proposed the plan to Duke Yannis, and it was up to him to turn the tide on whether his negotiations could convince Ludwig and make the Winter National, who had already made great contributions to the Duchy of Mageny, choose to cooperate with them.

"There are no permanent enemies, and Ludwig must be in trouble," Vittorio took the latest information he had gathered, which contained information about the Winter Army's holding off on its advance, "The other dignitaries of the Winter Kingdom will definitely pull Ludwig's back legs, I heard that some troops have been ordered to be recalled, in order to defend against the possibility of a resumption of fighting in the east." Vittorio pushed his plans forward, and Fidel was convinced of Vittorio.

Before the Potato Mercenaries were ready to leave Dulumi City, an envoy sent by Maeve herself handed over a letter from Mafu to Fed. In addition to hoping that Fed would be able to protect Duke Yannis in Dumu City, it also revealed to Fett Lady Eli's intentions.

"My mother, Lady Eli, has no intention of standing on her own feet from the Duchy, so she may do her best to eradicate the southern nobles who intend to break away from the Duchy one by one... Even my biological father, her former husband, Count Endrida, is on her list... So be careful not to reveal your intentions to anyone. ”

Maevie's letter surprised Fed, who originally thought that Lady Eli had long ago ignored state affairs because of the Gu Yu rebellion, but she didn't expect that this simple noblewoman was still secretly manipulating some things. She had more city than Fed'd had imagined, and it was no wonder that she had once married Count Endrida, and they were all people of the road, and it was difficult for even those close to her to fully know their true intentions.

In addition to Mave's handwritten private messages, Count Endrida also found Fidel. He had learned of Fielder's plan, and instead of dissuading Field, he encouraged him to get in touch with Ludwig and relieve the pressure of the current war in the Duchy of Magnie. Endrida also hinted at making good use of the greedy Winter Nation and trying to lead them into conflict with the invading forces of the East Oguna Empire, even if it was acceptable to pay any amount of land and other costs, because those lands would eventually return to the Duchy of Mageni and the Duke of Yanis.

"Captain Fed, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself... From the very beginning, I thought that you are not an ordinary person, Captain Fidel, as long as you can take this opportunity to turn the tide, then I am willing to share everything in the Mageni Principality with you in the future. Count Endrida's words before his departure did not reassure Field, who was clearly the same as the "greedy Winterman" in his mouth, and he was the truly greedy nobleman who knew how to take advantage of others.

With the exception of Reeves and Toto, all the captains set off north with Fid, who brought 2,000 men with him and obtained clearance from all over the country as soon as possible. The avenue to the northern towns has been opened, and now it is up to Fett himself to meet Ludwig and negotiate a mutually beneficial negotiation.

Vittorio said that he must not tell Ludwig about the plan first, but should defeat the Winter Army somewhere in the northern battlefield before he can have the confidence to negotiate the rest of the negotiations. The regular army of the Duchy and the mercenary Guardian Regiment stationed outside the Black Swamp also sent a message to Fidel, expressing their willingness to assist Fide in dealing with the Winter Nation, and they did not know the true purpose of Fidel's trip.

"Cat's Eye" Hemos returned to the mercenary lodge of the Potato Mercenary Regiment on the fifth day after Feld left the Dutree City, and the people who received him were Toto and Moos, but the two who had never seen Hemos did not know what Hemos looked like when he left the Dutree City, and they thought that the blind gentleman that Captain Fede had been waiting for was the extremely old man in front of him.

The gray-white folded ear cat was held in the arms of the "cat's eye", and the old cat, which could still be alive and kicking, was also like Simus, who needed to be taken care of by others and lost its vitality.

"Sir, please have tea. Moose handed Cat's Eye a cup of tea, and both he and Toto knew that Fid had mentioned the disabled man who had an appointment with the head before leaving Dulum. Cat's eyes were turning to dead branches, and the skin on his face was so loose and dry that it wouldn't be surprising if he died suddenly.

"Captain Fed... Did he leave?" "Cat's Eye" trembled as he picked up the teacup with both hands and took a sip of it.

"Yes, the regimental commander left Dumu City five days ago and is rushing to the front line in the north-central part of the principality with a large number of mercenaries. ”

“... That's a shame ... But I don't blame you commander, I'm late. ”

Toto pushed the door open, still holding three sheepskin scrolls in his hand, "Captain Fede left these three sheepskins before leaving, one of them belongs to you, old gentleman, and the other two were found in Decree City. There were also some sheepskin scrolls that were taken with him by Captain Field, who said he wanted to hand them over to you himself. ”

Cat's Eye was silent for a while before reaching out his right hand, wanting to touch the three sheepskin scrolls. However, just as he touched the sheepskin scroll, he suddenly stopped his movements, and the folded cat in his arms was gently pushed by him, and the folded cat immediately jumped to the ground and fled to the corner of the room.

"You're back," Golia's voice came from the door of the room, neither Toto nor Moose knew how the woman got here, "I've been waiting for you, come with me." ”
