Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 351: Alliance Protection (I)
After a night of research, Ligu, who appeared in front of Fid with dark circles under his eyes and a blue potion, still couldn't figure out what the blue liquid was. Liguta even dropped the blue potion on the plant, and gave a puppy a drop, but nothing unusual happened.
"Captain Fidel, I'm not sure... What kind of liquid is it... It tastes a little strange, and I don't dare test it on a living person, but the puppy has no problem drinking it," Ligu couldn't help Miss Maevie's strange illness, "but even if Miss Maevie is suffering from a strange illness, I wouldn't recommend letting her drink this bottle of potion of unknown origin... Didn't the doctor who gave the potion to the head of the regiment also claimed that you couldn't let people drink it..."
Fed knew that Rigu had done his best, and he asked the other party to leave the potion, and it was up to him to decide whether or not to let Maeve drink it.
Fed, who came to Maev's side again, saw that Maeve, who had not improved in the slightest, was looking at him with half-open eyes, "Mafu, are you awake?"
"I haven't been asleep... You've always had a cold expression, why can I see the worry on your face now?" Mafu still had a blue face and white lips, but the heat on her forehead had decreased slightly.
"I've sent someone to bring the best doctors from Dumu City and Square Tower City here, don't worry, you'll be healthy soon. ”
There was a hint of tears in Mave's eyes, and she seemed to realize that she was in poor health, "I've heard that Viscount Lawrence and they died under the iron cavalry of the Imperial Army... The Southern Army was disintegrated ... Field, is it my fault?"
Feder comforted: "No, the enemy's tricks are difficult to see, and you or Viscount Lawrence can't be blamed for this," Fed had already handed over the invisible weapon to his subordinates, but within half a day, the dagger appeared, "Leave the rest to the mercenary Guardians and the Earl of Canham, we will protect this land." ”
Maevie nodded effortlessly, "If I... If I die, then you will take me back to the city of Dumu for burial... It was the place my mother hated the most, but that was where I was born, and I wanted to sleep under a clean tree..."
Feder knew that it would be useless for him to stay any longer, and that his presence would only make Maevie sad and cranky, so he casually responded to the words and stood up and left Maeve's camp. At this time, Ayana and Patrick were standing at the mouth of the tent waiting for Fidel, and Ayana still had the dagger in her hand.
"This dagger is an enchanted weapon, and it is exactly the same as the other daggers that have been recovered, with a small glass bead embedded in the bottom of the handle of the dagger. ”
Fed took a few glass beads from Ayana, "These things... It's the same as the enchanted helmet of the MONOCULUS mercenaries..."Fed remembered what the Honor City blacksmith had said at Rodman's blacksmith. Rodman had claimed that the MONOCULUS mercenary's mass-produced enchanted helmets were vicious murder tools, as the enchanted weapons would reduce the user's lifespan, and the glass beads dug up from the MONOCULUS helmets were also collected by Rodman, and Fidel clearly remembered that they looked the same.
Patrick and Ayana weren't present at the time, and Andre and Eddie were not present now, so Fidel didn't explain the mechanics of the enchanted dagger to them until he had gathered all the important men.
After hearing this, the other subordinates asked, "Their enchantment is 'invisible'? The magic that only appears in the legend of Fraki the Forester..."
"yes... Legends tell us that Vlaki was able to make his body transparent, to become truly 'invisible', and then to walk through the depths of the forest, to whisper to all kinds of beasts, to swim in the depths of the lake, to fly among the leaves... It's like being the master of all things. ”
Ignoring the legends of the gods of Noor, Fid gave a detailed account of the MONOCULUS mercenary group, while also expressing his suspicions about the owners of these enchanted weapons.
"That's right, it must have been the mercenary group of the three mercenary guilds!" Lukka tapped his palm with his fist, "Those three mercenary groups were stationed in a small city not far from the Southern Army before, they must have let their subordinates disguise themselves as merchants, use treasure chests containing gold coins to hide people's eyes and ears, and then bring these invisible weapons to Viscount Lawrence and their side, and then carry out assassination!"
"Luca's analysis should be the truth, since there is already a MONOCULUS mercenary group in front, the enchanted weapon from the hands of the same evil blacksmith is the best evidence," Patrick picked up one of the daggers, the blade of the dagger is very thin, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be scratched, "I didn't expect these mercenaries full of malice to be able to swagger into the land of the Duchy of Magini... Who hired them here?"
Everyone pointed the finger at the mercenary groups of the three mercenary guilds, and according to the intelligence, the three mercenary groups had already left the town, and if their mission was to destroy the last power of the Duchy of Mageni, then they did succeed. But if it was only for the conspiracy of these 500 people, then they would be a little too laborious.
"There's no point in pursuing these now," Selena pulled back the other captains' thoughts, "I don't think we'll be able to find those three mercenary groups with our strength, catch up with them, and defeat them." Now that the Southern Army has collapsed, and those important nobles have died in their tents, there will definitely be great turmoil in the southern part of the Mageni Principality. ”
Fei De also knew that Selena's words were very rational, those three mercenary groups did still hide terrifying strength, and the mercenary defense group and those three mercenary groups might not have any advantage in a head-on conflict. He decided to give one of the daggers to Count Khamhen, and one to Count Endrida and Captain Rainy Day in Dumu, to tell them about the misfortune that had befallen the Southern Army. Fide also wrote a letter asking the Rainy Regiment Commander personally why the weapons he had taken out were so similar to the enchantment magic of these daggers.
"The southern armies have fled in all directions... Only some of the soldiers of Fontale are still with Miss Maev," Luca said worriedly, "The news that the Southern Army has been defeated by the Imperial Army will surely spread throughout the southern part of the Duchy of Magini, and there may be a reaction that we don't expect..." In addition to the Southern Army, only the 50,000 regular troops led by Count Camp can be relied on, and even the gathered mercenary groups will have selfish intentions and fear the iron cavalry of the Imperial Army.
"The Winter Army on the front line was also ambushed, and their momentum of advance was extinguished. I heard that one of Duke Petwich's sons went into battle with his five sons, and that the grandsons of the five dukes were all skilled in martial arts and took back the supply lines that Ludwig had seized before. ”
"The Earl of Campham has said that he will not care about the mood of the southern nobles, and he has also hinted to us that he must not lose confidence by asking Lady Eli to regain control of the united southern nobles... Don't the Earls of Camhen know that the dead nobles are all the nobles of the south? Now that the cities in the south of the duchy are considering the heir to the title, there may be unrest at any time!"
The setbacks of the Winter Army can be put aside for the time being, but the destabilizing factors of the southern nobility are in front of them. Fide knew that the nobles of the principalities had different intentions, and that as soon as they saw the Southern Army being disintegrated, they might have the idea of surrendering to the Empire. I was most afraid that Fidel and Earl Camphen, who had just arrived at the front, would be attacked on their backs, after all, Lady Eli had been in contact with the rebels, and her beloved daughter was hanging by a thread.
"Bad news keeps coming, but we don't have to..."Vittorio's words were abruptly interrupted.
"Look at your expressions as if you're going to lose a battle?" a familiar voice came from the mouth of the tent, and yellow armor and faces full of vicissitudes also appeared.
"It's... Head of the Satnam. Fett immediately stood up, and Satnam was as calm as he had been when he had invited Fett to join the Church Union.
Behind Satnam, there were only a few Knight Captains that Fed didn't know, and there was no old acquaintance Riley, "Knight Selena, we haven't seen each other for a long time, the Archbishop still remembers you, and the Knights of the Church also remember you." Selena's face had changed, she was not close to Satnam, but she knew that Rassad's death was inseparable from Satnam.
Only then did Fide remember that the Knights of the Church had come to the southern front of the Duchy of Magini with an unknown number of men and horses, but he did not expect that this leader of the Knights who did not know whether he was friend or foe appeared when he was most distressed.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest you this time, Selena," Satnam didn't sit down or go any further, "The matter of Rashad and the Pope's conspiracy to rebel is over, and the archbishop has countless official duties to deal with, since you have chosen to say goodbye, then we won't ask any more." I also thought that you would be with Captain Field, after all, Captain Fielder also said goodbye. ”
"Let's go over the past, right now we are worried about the invasion of the Principality of Mageni by the East Oguna Empire, and you must know it... The combined forces of the southern nobility had been routed, and the Duchy of Magini had just suffered a great defeat. Selena is unhurried and sincere, she has the demeanor of a general that Fielder values, and she will not keep thinking about personal matters.
"Yes, I have also brought five thousand Knights of the Church at the invitation of the Duchy of Mageni to help the Duchy of Mageni defend against that former enemy. "Five thousand... The number was not unexpected, but when it came out of Satnam's mouth, a hint of disappointment crept into everyone's hearts.
Fide also knew that the Papal States could not show more power than this number, and Selena did not show a disappointed expression like the others, but immediately responded: "Commander Satnam's visit this time is already the greatest help to the Principality of Majnie, we all want to hear what Captain Satnam's opinion on the current war situation?"
"I don't dare to take it as an opinion, but I did bring what you need... No, I brought the Duchy of Mageni... Especially what the southern aristocracy needed. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Coalition protection. ”
