Just as Duke Yannis was being taken away from the palace by the rain and night, a major event occurred in the city of Decree, not far from the Black Marsh City, where the leader of the conservative faction of the rebel army, Ufus, died. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A suicide note was left next to the body of Ufus, a suicide note forged by Vittorio. The suicide note states that Vittorio takes over the command of the rebel conservatives, but Vittorio's plan is ruined by the sudden appearance of Clermont. The young rebel leader pointed out the suspicion of Ufus's death before the other rebel leaders could react, and revealed Vittorio's intention to return to his father, Ufus more than a month ago, in order to assassinate his own father and then take control of the rebels.

When Vittorio saw that the matter was revealed, he had to immediately abandon his previous plan and try to create chaos and escape. And Lazrov and Vittorio's sister Mary also appeared in time to save Vittorio, who was almost caught by Clermont. However, the loss of the leader of the conservative rebels also caused a chain reaction, and the army of the Principality of Mageni, which had surrounded the city of Decree, launched a fierce attack and attacked the area around the castle.

"Captain Fid, I've got a fast horse, if that mercenary didn't lie to us, we would definitely be able to leave Black Swamp City without any problems!" Lukka and Winotki were at the palace gate to meet Fide and Ayana and them, and seeing the hurried and panicked expressions of Fide and Yutian's group, they didn't have to think about it to know that the plan had failed.

"We're going to get out of here at once and head to Decree City. Fylde remembered the task Heemos had given him to find the Parchment Scroll, the key to magical knowledge.

"But... Shouldn't we go back to the Southern Army first, and the city is still occupied by the rebel conservatives..."

"According to the information of the Rainy Commander, the regular army of the Duchy of Mageni and all the mercenaries of the Mercenary Guardian Regiment will launch a general attack today, and if there is no accident, the city of the Decree after dawn will be surrounded by the Grand Legion of the Principality, and it will be captured before sunset. ”

"What are you going to do there, Commander?"

"I have very important things to pick up, and those things are in the Great Library in Decree City, so I have to go there myself. Fei De had never told his subordinates about his plans before, and only Ayana knew what Fei De was going to pick up, so his subordinates, including Patrick, showed surprised expressions, but they didn't object, and just began to discuss how to quickly reach Decree City from the Black Swamp.

Before the news of the old duke's assassination could be heard, and the news of Ufus's death remained in the city, Fidel and his men had already fled from Black Swamp City with the rain. Those soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop the mercenary chief Yutian, and most of the nobles who remained in the city were still asleep, and the rest of the nobles who left Black Swamp City and planned to encircle and annihilate the surprise attack force of the Winter Kingdom were calculated.

Nearly 15,000 regular troops of the Principality poured out of Black Marsh City, and the surprise attack force that should have been able to eat 3,000 men in one go was lured further north by this small force deliberately arranged by Ludwig. Ludwig's ambush had already been laid there, in order to get these reckless, self-righteous principality nobles deep. The nobles who thought that the Winter Army and the Black Marsh City had more than a dozen city defense lines were frightened by the sudden appearance of the Winter Army, they didn't expect Ludwig to plan to bypass the defensive line cities in the north of the Mageni Principality half a month ago, and attack the capital of the Duchy while the Black Swamp was focusing on the "back" of the Decree City!

Ludwig personally led less than 20,000 elite cavalry on a rapid march, directly breaking through the northern defense line, and had reached the high ground north of the Black Marsh City, killing all the principality nobles who had been lured here. At this time, Ludwig was left with only the capital of the Duchy of Mageni and the power of the Duchy of the two dukes.

Unaware of Ludwig's surprise attack or the failure of Vittorio's plan to seize control of the rebels, he protected Duke Yannis as agreed, so that the fourteen-year-old boy could avoid the impending power struggle and the danger of the Duchy of Mageni falling to him.

By the time Fed, with his men, and the light cavalry approached the defense line of Decree City, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. The main force of the Duchy of Mageni and the mercenaries were faster than expected, and the last of the rebel conservatives were more vulnerable than expected, and the two gates of the city had been breached, and the mercenaries rushed into the city, plundering and chasing the remnants of the rebel conservatives.

The mercenary had already recovered her subordinates on a rainy day, and she immediately gathered her subordinates, quickly left the battlefield, and withdrew to the southwest with Duke Yannis. A small number of Southern Army also appeared to the south of the battlefield of Decree City, and they said that the main force of the Southern Army had not yet reached Decree City, because the vanguard of the Eastern Oguna Empire's invading army had already appeared not far from the east side of the Southern Army. Now the two sides are facing off, and no one knows how many people there are in the vanguard.

"The death of the old duke may only reach the ears of the generals of the general army, and they will certainly not tell the other soldiers about this matter at this critical juncture," Patrick saw that the fierce battle was still going on at the other two gates of the city of Decree, and the regular army of the principality in order to recover the city of Decree City was all bravely taking the lead, "but the Duchy of Mageni will definitely not be able to hold on, the building will collapse, and we will take what we want to take and evacuate immediately." ”

"Well, but you don't have to risk me. ”

Winotki immediately shook her head and said, "How can you be! You are our regimental leader! You have promised us that we will not abandon the potato mercenary regiment! We will also follow you as Captain Fidel!"

"Winoki said it well, count me Nur as well!"

Even Vega, who is new to the Potato Mercenary Regiment, has a firm eye, and they are all willing to live and die for Field, even if taking out those scrolls from the Great Library is just what Phylla wants to do.

"Then let's go inside. ”

After the group entered the Decree City, the corpses of the rebels could be seen everywhere. The corpses with their old weapons, thin as wood, but with little armor, all belonged to the rebels, and even if such soldiers gathered 100,000 soldiers, they were just numerically strong, and they had no strength on the battlefield at all. Winotki couldn't help but cry as she walked in the direction of the Great Library, and the corpses of the old man and the child appeared in front of her, and those people looked like the poor people who had been agitated. Winoki, who is also from a poor peasant's background, fortunately chose to become a mercenary instead of joining the rebels, otherwise her body might have appeared here.

"Hey, you guys... You guys... Right... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's Captain Fidel!!" The two mercenaries who were coming out of a private house immediately apologized as soon as they saw the comer, and they stuffed everything of some value into their bags, no different from bandits and robbers.

"The inhabitants of Decree City are also from the Duchy of Magini, why are you—" Lukka pointed to the small house, which smelled of blood.

"Didn't the Lords get orders from the General?? Those rebels are pretending to be residents of Decree City! We must check it out, or these guys will stab us in the back!"

"Lord Felder has been living in the capital, and I don't know how hard we worked! We fought hard to defeat an army of 100,000! These things we deserve!" a mercenary hid his bulging bag behind him.

The two mercenaries sang and harmonized, thinking that Fidel and his party wanted to steal their loot, but Fidel did not respond to a word, and just continued to walk in the direction of the Great Library.

"Damn!" Lukka recalls the Potato Mercenaries under Fed's leadership, and the disciplined mercenaries would never do such a thing.

"Most of the mercenaries are like this, they are infused with blood and money, this is not something we can change, let's finish our business and get out of here!" Vega said, patting Lukka on the shoulder.

The Great Library was in the center of the Decree City, but they basically didn't meet the rebels, and they heard from individual mercenaries that the remnants of the rebels had gathered at the two gates that had not yet been breached, and they were planning to break through from one of the two gates, but the possibility of a successful breakthrough was definitely very slim.

As soon as Fidel stepped into the Great Library, he saw some civilians and some mercenaries facing each other, and those civilians with improvised weapons were shouting that they were the guardians of the library of Decree City, and they would not allow the battle between the rebels and the principality army to destroy the Great Library of Decree City. However, the dozens of mercenaries apparently did not think so, they coveted the treasures in the Great Library, and thought that there must be valuable treasures in the place where the old calligraphy books were hidden.

"Get out of the way!" a mercenary slapped a thin civilian to the ground, and it became clear to Fed that the other party was the leader of the Mountain King's mercenary group.

"You can't go in here! There are academics with limited mobility! And children!"

"What scholars! must be harboring the rebels!, little ones!, follow me—" Before the mercenary who claimed to be the king of the mountains could finish speaking, Fei De reached behind and grabbed the arm of the other man's weapon, causing him to stop wielding his weapon.

"Get out of here and go wild somewhere else. ”

The mercenary leader looked back at Fidel, and he was stunned before realizing who the person in front of him was, "Ah... It's Captain Fidel... We are..."

"Get out of here, this is the Duchy's library, not a place for you to smash and loot. Feder spoke again in an accentuated tone, and this time even the besieged library guards could hear it clearly. Even with resentment, the leader of the Mountain King Mercenary Regiment waved his hand to let his little brother leave here immediately, and the arrogant leader did not forget to spit on Fidel's back when he left the library.

"You are..."

"We're the Potato Mercenaries," Fielder confessed, "and I'd like to get something in your library, and if I can, I'm going to trade it for protecting you." ”

"Protect us... We don't need you mercenaries to protect us at all!" the young man who was scraped to the ground, but quickly got up, roared, "Why should I give you the important books and documents inside!
