When Patrick escorted Fed back to the Potato Mercenary Regiment's lodgings, Feder already had an extra map in his hand - something Newt had given him, indicating that the Rebels were outside of Dumu City, and that the "Severed Leg Project" might set up an ambush. The calm man had warned Fidel before leaving, www.biquge.info that the situation in the Duchy of Magini was not optimistic, and the rebels had taken advantage of the attacks on the mountain mines and the mountain people to promote the image of the principality's nobles and mercenaries very poorly. They take advantage of the dissatisfaction and accusations of the people at the bottom of the society and use their anger and hatred to turn these into forces to continue to "infect" others.

Most of these people were the poorest people in the towns and the villagers in the countryside, where the rebels always proclaimed their determination to build an ideal country, which they claimed would not starve or cold. And they will also overthrow the rule of the aristocracy, as in the Marveil Republic, to establish a new ruling class with a republican system, and every commoner will have the opportunity to rise to the top.

When Fidel heard what the calm man said, he vaguely recalled the political situation in the Republic of Marvier at that time—although some people represented the common people, in fact, the so-called "republic and equality" in that place was only beautifully disguised. The princes and nobles were transformed into the senators, who stood alongside their own consuls and other independent republican city governors, guarding their own interests. For the sake of these interests, those who have no power and no power are still their stepping stones, which is not substantially different from other kingdoms, principalities, or even empires. It's just that other countries that are not republics are more brazenly oppressing the people at the bottom, and the republics use a method that makes people feel no pain.

Regarding the arrangement of the "Broken Leg Project", Newt claimed that he would contact Fidel again soon after, and that Feder would only need to follow the secret agent's arrangement and take the Potato Mercenary Group's subordinates to one of the locations indicated on the map to encounter the Rebels' ambushes. And the anti-ambush soldiers prepared by the Principality of Magini will appear together to give these rebels a praying mantis to catch cicadas, with the yellow finch behind.

Newt has shown that such an approach will not destroy the rebels. However, it can capture more people related to the rebels, and at the same time bankrupt the other party's plans and increase the confidence of the mercenaries who serve the Duchy of Magini.

Fei De raised his own question, since the Peace Grave Military Academy, a place with intelligence capabilities, had already learned of this plan, why not let the person who provided the plan directly reveal the leaders of the rebels, and then send the regular army to wipe them out?

Neither Newt nor the calm man gave an answer, Newt just told Fidel that it was a happy thing to be a mercenary who followed orders and didn't ask too much, because some mercenary groups would not get the information about the "Broken Leg Project" and the map, which was the importance that the Peace Grave Academy valued the Potato Mercenary Group and Captain Fidel. The words of the two made Fei De realize that some mercenary group leaders might be wiped out within the "Dogleg Project", and for people like Newt and the position behind him, it was just to kill people with knives and let the rebels help them solve their problems.

"Fed, are we really going to be doglegs of the Duchy of Magini?" Patrick didn't say anything on the way back, as if he had thought for a long time before he asked.

Feder touched the Potato Medal on the Black Flash's breastplate and asked, "How long have we been here?" and what have we done?"

"It's been more than two months, almost three months," Patrick felt a cool breeze blowing across his face, which was the comfort of autumn and October, "During this time, we were basically stationed in the Dumu City, constantly recruiting troops, training subordinates, and completing a mercenary mission worth 200,000 gold coins. ”

"That's pretty much it, so how many people do we have now?"

"The last time Reeves and Vittorio seemed to talk about it, more than two thousand were for sure, and as for the exact number, Fidel should know better than I do. ”

Feder nodded, "I once talked to Selena about the future of the Potato Mercenary Group, and our future is first to confirm the direction of the Mercenary Group, and it is not necessary to travel all continents to find the direction, but now we can stay here in Dumu City." ”

Patrick listened carefully to Field's words as he took off his leather mask and let his face, which had lost its upper lip and nose, enjoy the soothing of the autumn breeze.

"Our direction, or the first goal of the potato mercenary group, is to take root here, and then continue to increase the strength and financial strength of our mercenary group until it is strong enough to be on an equal footing with those independent mercenary groups that are famous on the mainland, so that it can be like a towering tree, not afraid of wind and rain. ”

Field's words were very light, but Patrick's heart was very clear, these words Fielder had never said to others, loyal and brave champion fighters were the first, and maybe they would say similar things to other companions in the future, after all, these words were thought of by Fielder for a long time.

Patrick took a sip from the kettle and said, "Even if you make a dog's leg, you have to build your muscles first, and slowly become a thick dog's leg, then a thick human leg, and then an independent person." The faithful companion who had accompanied Fayde from the City of Honor also tried to use metaphors to express his thoughts.

The only people who knew about Newt, the spy teacher, were Luca, Ayana, and Patrick, and Fede wasn't worried that any of the three of them would share the information with Vittorio. Vittorio never seemed to be suspicious, in the month he joined the Potato Mercenary Group, he had been working diligently for the Potato Mercenary Group, and there was still some time before the "three-month probationary period", Fidel had already recognized the abilities of the short businessman, but Vittorio's actual intentions had become the biggest obstacle between him and himself. Feder basically gave up the idea of befriending the rebels, and the rebels who hated the nine mercenary groups had also become their enemies, and the mercenary union would not look at the potato mercenary group differently because Phyllite had eliminated the rebels in the Iron Ore Mountains, but Feder knew that this was the road that must be walked to become a towering tree.

Early the next morning, Fid gave an order to Noor, the current regimental commander's personal guard, to strengthen the guard. Fei De didn't know if there would be any Rebel Assassin who wanted to take his "dog life", but those Rebel cadres were not idle people, and if two guys like Thomas attacked together, they might be able to kill themselves.

"Captain Fidel, it seems that Meifu of Fontale City has recovered from her injuries, and she has sent a letter saying that she wants to meet with you, Captain, for a private, two-person party. ”

"Captain Field, Count Endrida and Lord Herman have invited you to the celebration banquet. They claimed to have completely eradicated all the rebels in the Iron Ore Mountains, and they had also contributed to the restoration of the hill villages, and those who had escaped from the mountains were taken back to their homes, and everything was restored to the original state. ”

"Captain Feide, the person in charge of the mercenary house in Dumu City has sent a letter, expressing his intention to respect the potato mercenary group as the number one resident mercenary group in Dumu City, and I hope that Captain Fei De will personally go to the mercenary house to claim this noble and glorious identity. In addition, many people of the local blacksmith shop, horse farm, food supply and many other people of the Dumu City will gather together to celebrate the honor of the potato mercenary group at the mercenary house. ”

"Captain Field, Selena and Reeves both have important internal matters to discuss with you, Captain, please take the time to meet with the two adults. ”

"Captain Fed..."

Ten days after returning from the Iron Ore Mountains, everything seemed to have gone through a very brief hibernation period, and then rushed towards Fid at the same time. Vittorio, the deputy head of the regiment, had to leave the city for two days because of his personal affairs, so Fidel had to take care of the top and bottom of the potato mercenary group by himself. He sometimes misses the days when it was just him, Kleth and Greif, and the days when he was a no-brainer under Andre, but now that he was the leader of a large mercenary group, these things were duty-not shirkable—not responsibilities that others had left to him, they had become part of his body.
