"Just kidding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Ayana had a strange expression, Fei had never seen Ayana joke, and he had never seen Ayana look like this. The others were also a little surprised that this withdrawn girl would say such a thing, as if their relationship had been brought a little closer, and Ayana was more like a normal person.

However, the original uneasy atmosphere was immediately changed by Ayana's joke, and even Vega, the leader of the cavalry team, couldn't help but ask Fid if he really planned to take this opportunity to assassinate the little duke Yanis.

"Although we have a partnership with Duji City and Square Tower City, if—" Jasmine seemed to think of something, "but if Fed, you are going to change your mind and choose to take a different position, we can also consider considering..."

The other captains immediately understood what Jasmine meant. The mercenaries could have switched sides at any time, and everyone was shackled by life in Dumu City and the relationship between Mave and Fed. They have a mercenary group of more than 2,000 people under their command, and they can choose to join the team to divide the Duchy of Mageni, which is obviously safer and simpler.

"But I say, even if we want to join the other neighboring countries, there is no need for our regiment leader to go to the Black Swamp to assassinate the little duke himself, as long as the border defense of the Mageni Principality is breached, this principality in the center of the continent will naturally perish," Luca's words made everyone return to Fidel's travel plans, "Let's think about what we should do after the regiment leader leaves." ”

The other captains all set their sights on Fidel, knowing that he would not defect to the Rebels, and that he was unlikely to suddenly change his stance and attack the Duchy of Magini.

"I have no intention of changing my position, the collaborators of the Potato Mercenary Group are still Dumu City, Fangta City, and some nobles of the Mageni Principality. ”

"Then why do you have to go to the little duke's birthday party, Captain Field?"

Fide decided that it was not yet time to tell everyone about Vittorio's plans, "Duke Yannis is very much looking forward to my appearance, and this is also an opportunity to improve the status of the potato mercenary group. ”

Such a reason is obviously not convincing, "If Captain Fei leaves at this critical moment, what will the potato mercenary group do?"

"Jasmine and Selena will be taking my place as head of the regiment for the time being, but I would like to make it clear that we are not allowed to fight other neighboring countries in this war. ”

The other captains all nodded, the potato mercenary group really shouldn't make enemies anymore. The most important thing is that the Mageni Principality is not necessarily the winner, if the Mageni Principality loses in the end, then the potato mercenary group will also face defeat. Feld said that during the time he was away, the Potato Mercenaries would try to stay in a safe area, and if they did want to fight, they would only have to engage the rebel forces until Fide returned from the Black Swamp in the capital.

Toto spread his hands and said, "Yes, our head of Fild is just going to attend the duke's birthday party, and it is estimated that he will be back here in a few days, right... Right?" he said, and looked at Fiddle, and the other captains looked at Fidel.

"I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Fett looked at the companions who showed concern, these subordinates were all companions who were born and died with him, Vittorio would not be more important than these people, but Vittorio gave Fed's feeling very kind, even if the other party had many uncertainties, Fett was willing to fulfill the agreement between the two.

When Feder told Maev about her decision, Mafu didn't think about it for long before agreeing, "Then let's go back quickly," Mafu looked at Fed's eyes like a wife waiting at home, waiting for her husband to return, "Duke Yannis is young, but I believe that he will bring prosperity to the Duchy of Mageni, and this time the Duke invited you to the banquet by name, it is a good opportunity!"

A good chance? A chance to soar?

Mafu said that she would cooperate with Jasmine and Selena during this time, and she would step up her efforts to learn relevant military knowledge to protect Fonta City and the southern part of the Principality of Magini. She then told her mother the news, and without saying a word, Madame Eli took out a set of knight's armor, which she said was for Feld, hoping that he would give it to the Duke of Yannis as a congratulatory gift.

The diametrically opposed attitudes of his subordinates to Lady Eli and Maevie surprised Fed. Or in the eyes of the Maves, going to the Duke's banquet is the highest honor, and for the mercenaries, the most important thing is to unite and survive.

Mave told Fed that the road to the capital, Black Marsh, might run into some trouble due to the special period in the current Duchy of Magini, and that she planned to have several knights belonging to Tower City escort Fed, and Feder readily agreed. Duke Yannis' birthday was on March 3rd, and it would take three days and three nights to get from the city of Square Tower to the capital's Black Marsh at the earliest, not counting the possible variables, so Fede had to leave early the next morning.

"You can't be late for the Duke's birthday party!" Lukka wrapped the armor gift, and it was heavy.

Winotki said timidly, "Last time I attended the wedding dinner in Ibon City, it turned out that kind of thing, hopefully... Let's hope there will be no surprises at Duke Yannis's birthday party... After all, these are extraordinary times..."

"Dare to have a birthday party when you are besieged by the rebel army, obviously a very bold person! I am quite optimistic about this little ghost!" Ligu teased from the side. Field's subordinates no longer have doubts, but they are beginning to worry about the troubles that Fielder may encounter - Manners, communication, and other weaknesses of Fielder are all things that their regiment commander needs to pay attention to. Maev had considered these issues for Fed, but even nobles like Maev and Madame Eli could not enter the palace without being invited.

According to information from the front, the main force of the rebel army had occupied the area around the city, and most of the nearby nobles closed the gates of the city, and did not even dare to go to the villages to protect the territory. There was no order to attack in the capital, and the authorities in the capital were waiting to see what the rebels were capable of crossing the swamp that could devour all living things.

The rebels were in no hurry to attack the Black Swamp, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were waiting for the dispatch of the three neighboring countries, so that the rebels would have no worries.

The date of return discussed between Fide and his subordinates was March 10, and all the captains said that they would take responsibility during Fidd's absence, so that Captain Fide could rest assured.

"I used to be the head of the mercenary group, so leave it to me!" Jasmine patted Fielder on the shoulder vigorously before he left, and the confident smile reminded Fielder of Marcus.

Escorted by six Knights of the Phalanx and a few cavalry, Fid set out on his way to the capital, the Black Swamp.

Four days later, on March 2, Fide finally arrived in the Black Swamp area of the capital. Along the way, he came across a number of moving troops, mostly regular troops, who were moving out of the capital's area. Fide also learned that the Duchy of Noao and the Duchy of Mageni had signed a non-aggression agreement, and the western border of the Duchy of Mageni had obviously gained a temporary respite, and now it was up to the Duchy of Noò to fulfill its promise, and at the same time, it was also up to the Duchy of Mageni to deal with the main force of the rebels who had broken into the hinterland.

The Black Marsh, the capital of the Duchy of Magini, was surrounded by a large gray-black swamp. There are no wide passages in the east, south, or north of the city, except for a thoroughfare at the west gate that connects to the dense forest to the west. This dense forest is full of regular army camps, and if you want to attack Black Swamp City, you must first occupy this dense forest. At the same time, there are several passages in this dense forest that connect to other cities in the capital area, and it is from the south passage that Fide enters this dense forest, and then moves from this dense forest to the capital.

When Fed rode his war horse and came to the Black Swamp City, Fed realized why the nobles in the city were not worried about the rebels stationed in the city.

Black Marsh City is not particularly tall in walls, the size of the city is not as large as Evon City, and the fortifications such as the Arrow Tower are not as large as Doret City, but it has the most powerful geographical advantage - a large swamp with an unobstructed view of the capital, even if a crow flies through the sky, or a wolf emerges from the edge of the swamp, it will be clearly seen by the soldiers standing guard on the tower.

"At night, the moonlight would glow the gray swamp like an unsightly mirror, and no one would be able to sneak up on the city. A knight from Square Tower City whispered in Fed's ear.

Indeed, those swamps can hold thousands of troops in a tight cage, and the wide field of view can leave the attackers with nowhere to hide. If there's one downside to the city, it's that the smell of the swamps is disgusting, and everyone who lives here has to put up with it, even the noble dukes.

"Captain Feid, your armor..."A knight from Pagoda City had long noticed that there were many damages in Feide's armor, "This is the Duke's banquet..."Feide understood what the other party meant, but he was unwilling to replace "Black Flash" with other armor, even if "Black Flash" already had multiple scars.

After being inspected by the city gates, the escorts of Fid and Fontale entered Black Swamp without incident. The desolation outside the city is very different from the bustle of the city, and those who enter the city will see the palace and castle in the center of the Black Marsh City, both built on high ground somewhere in the city, and there is an inner moat and inner walls.

After entering the city, Fei De no longer smelled the strong stench, and the knight next to him immediately replied: "The people of Black Swamp City use something called white stone powder, which can reduce the stinking swamp gas emitted by the swamp by sprinkling it on objects. Sure enough, Fidel saw a lot of white powder being sprinkled on all sorts of things, even on the clothes of some citizens.

"Wait for me to lead the way. A familiar voice came from directly in front of Field.
