Before Feder could say goodbye to the other captains, Herman took Feder back to the Dutree City in a half-forced, half-inviting manner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info The only person who followed Fed was Ayana, but Ayana was also ordered to stay outside and wait before entering the castle. While Fide was being taken to a terrace in the castle by the soldiers, Count Endrida was drinking freshly brewed black tea, admiring the peace and quiet of the Dujee City.

"Captain Fed, it's been a long time since we met," Count Endrida was dressed in a pale yellow noble robe, he put down the teacup gently, and looked back at his nephew and Fed, "You also know that you have been in Dumu City for a long time, we should be friends who can make friends, right?"

On the way, Feder noticed Herman's silence, it seemed that he had lost the trust of the nobles of the Dutree City, and they only wanted to know about Leon's relationship with him, and about Leon's whereabouts.

"My uncle takes good care of your foreign mercenary group, and treats you as friends, I didn't expect you to do so much behind our backs..."Herman seemed to hold back this sentence for a long time, but as soon as he said this, Count Endrida interrupted him.

"Captain Fed, I'm not going to beat around the bush," the decent middle-aged count walked up to Fed, "I've learned about your hiding from Leon, the leader of the rebels, I guess Leon was taken away by you during the blood banquet incident, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why don't you report this to us as soon as possible? Do you know the importance of this person to the Rebel Army? He affects the upcoming war that the Rebels will launch against our principality, and the news that he is still alive will give the Rebels more options, and may also make us lose the opportunity to annihilate the Rebels in one fell swoop!"

Endrida's righteous words made Feyder feel a little pressure, but Feld rarely regretted his choice, so Feld chose to remain silent at this time.

Seeing that Feder didn't respond, Endrida sighed, "Captain Fed, your potato mercenary group was supposed to be very successful in the Duchy of Magini, but because of your selfishness, now your name has been linked to the rebel organization, and all your efforts to eradicate the rebels have been erased in the hearts of other nobles, I'm afraid... I'm afraid you're going to lose the trust of the Duchy of Magini..."

From this passage of the other party, Fidel understood the intention behind Count Endrida, "I did not have any collusion with the rebels, and today's attack on the rebels and the mermaid mercenary group is the best proof of this." ”

"Of course it's for the best!" Count Endrida patted Fidel on the shoulder, "You're still young, I'm sure you can regain the trust of the great nobles, but before that, you'll need to show some sincerity..."

Herman also answered: "Captain Feid, forget about hiding Leon and the rebel cadres, you still have other things to hide." ”

Sure enough... Fidel realized what the other man was referring to.

"Vittorio," Count Endrida walked over to the table and picked up a portrait of a man who resembled Vittorio but a wealthy middle-aged man, "and now the whole Duchy of Magini is looking for this man, 'Singer' Ufus." He used to be a wealthy merchant in the Mageni Principality, but according to the evidence that has emerged now, he is now the real leader of the rebel army, and it was also his idea to launch a sneak attack on the Mageni Principality. And as it happens, Vittorio, the deputy superintendent who is now working in your mercenary group, is his only son, so Captain Fidel, you should know what you have to do to win back the trust of the other nobles..."

Tied up Vittorio and Marie and sent them to Count Endrida, who then used them as bargaining chips to threaten Ufus, the leader of the rebel conservatives. It was instantly clear to Fed what choice he "should" make.

This was the end of the brief meeting with Count Endrida, who did not give any orders to Fidel, after all, the two were only a cooperative relationship. And Feder knew that this was a common problem of all aristocrats - they liked to hint at what they should do, while avoiding all responsibility.

When Herman sent him out of the castle, Herman also made it clear to him that he already knew about the spy teacher who had arrived from the capital. He stated that the Peace Graves Military Academy is ostensibly a school, but in fact it is a place where the capital, the Black Swamp, is used to monitor all the forces within its borders. The so-called spies will only report suspicious things to the head of the house, and the head of the house will take corresponding actions based on the judgment of the higher-ups. The lord of a certain castle had been suddenly taken away in his sleep, and no one knew where he had been taken until now. And some clever people are guessing that this is just a small ploy of the Military Academy of the Peace Grave, and they deal with the nobles who have a relationship with the rebels in private, in order to stabilize the rule of the young duke.

Fidel didn't know why Lord Herman, who had stopped showing kindness to him, told him about this, but it was clear that the rebels, the noble lords and the capital forces belonged to each other, and Count Endrida was obviously not a man without ambition, even if Vittorio and Marie were put in his hands, the potato mercenary group would not gain the trust of the other nobles, and the roots in the Duchy of Magini became very loose.

After returning to the mercenary's house, Fett attended Leonard's funeral as soon as possible. Leonard and the rest of his dead men were eighty-seven in all, and their bodies were taken to the village where the mercenaries were stationed, and Reeves and Jasmine had already taken care of everything and waited for Feld to return.

All of his men watched in silence, and he raised his torch and lit the wood that was holding Leonard's body—a long time ago at a meeting where someone had mentioned what he would do if he died in battle. Leonard chose cremation at the time, which was not the mainstream funeral method, but he thought he had a relationship with fire. When he was a child, his home was set on fire, but he and his family escaped. And Leonard said that he always thought that he had already died in that fire, and that everything now was just a hallucination after his death.

The other eighty-six were buried outside the village, and only Leonard's body was burned under the watchful eyes of some mercenaries. After putting down the torch, Fylde did not look at Leonard's corpse again, and walked alone to the city of Duwood.

"Commander Fidel, this victory is basically based on the performance of the cavalry squadron, their performance is beyond my expectations, if I can, I hope to determine the position of the cavalry squadron in the potato mercenary regiment. Squadron Leader Selena followed closely behind and whispered to Fidel, who was in a bad mood.

"The current cavalry squadron is already the main force of our mercenary group. ”

"But has Captain Fed ever thought of making the Potato Mercenary Regiment a mercenary regiment with only cavalry, like His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment?" Selena made a bold suggestion.

"I'm not good at horseback riding. ”

By the time Fed returned to the mercenary quarters, the mercenary quarters had already been cleaned up, the dead and wounded brothers had been properly housed by Reeves, and even the broken doors and windows had been repaired, and passers-by might not have noticed that there had been a fierce battle here this morning.

Fed asks Reeves to reward those who guard the lodging houses, and also asks Rigu to increase the number of mercenary doctors, as Fed finds that since his men are well equipped, their injury rates have increased, but their fatality rates have greatly decreased, and it is clear that first aid in the battlefield has become a very important thing.

Patrick and Noor both left the city before the merfolk attacked the mercenary's house, and Fede had no intention of recalling them, even if it was Vittorio and Marie who were bothering him.

Lukka reports to Fid that the leader of the Merfolk Mercenary Regiment, Kergree, has been sent to the prison of Dulumber, and that the rest of the matter will be handled by the laws here.

"Commander, despite Captain Leonard's heroic death, we are very happy to see the outstanding performance of the cavalry squadron," Luca said before leaving Fed's room, "but I can see that you are plagued by many problems right now, Commander, and I hope that Captain you will make up your mind to make a choice, and your subordinates will definitely follow you." ”

Fidel, who was sitting alone in the chair, also knew that he was slightly indecisive, which is why he had been entangled in Vittorio's problem for so long - in fact, as early as when Vittorio joined his mercenary group, he could have arrested Vittorio and sent it to the nobles, but why couldn't he be ruthless?

It wasn't until Vittorio knocked on the door that Fidel saw the other party's eyes and realized the reason - because Fidel was too similar to the other party, both of whom had to leave his father, get rid of his father's protection, and wanted to prove himself. It is also because of this similarity that Fei De accepts each other in his heart and regards each other as his companions.

"You got it. ”

"What?"

"You know that my father is the leader of the rebel conservatives, the great merchant Ufus," Vittorio clasped his hands around and said with a little helplessness in his tone, "If you arrest me now, maybe you can use it to coerce him, and it will be a great achievement for you." ”

"That's what you think?"

Vittorio sneered, "I don't need to guess, it's a fact that anyone can see." Anyway, I was just going to use you against my father, who would have thought that after living together... I made my biggest mistake to treat you as companions..."

Fei De suddenly felt a burst of sadness, "No one can decide their origins, and you are the same, I have seen all your contributions to the Potato Mercenary Group." ”

"No, you'd better arrest me, and you're just trying to comfort me. Vittorio tilted his head to the side, and Fidel noticed that his eyes were moist.

Fed, who had only lost an important subordinate today, was speechless, and he found himself being hindered by emotional factors. Fett groaned for a moment and walked over to Vittorio, "Didn't you say you wanted to be my brain trust?

Vittorio's fingers flicked slightly, not making eye contact with Fidel, "Yes, but..."

"I don't want to lose any more subordinates lately," Fidel said suddenly, "So, as long as you come up with a reasonable plan, I'll seriously consider it." ”
