"Cat's Eye" left a day before Field, and he left one of the blank parchment scrolls for Field, claiming that it was a template for Field, "I will be back here in a month, and I hope to hear the good news from Captain Field." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info" "Cat's Eye" simply packed his bags, and without the need for crutches, he left the Duji City with the gray-white folded ear cat in his arms.

Fylde put the parchment scroll away, and the distant figure of the "cat's eye" made him think about something—"I still have to trust Mr. Seamus, and Mr. Seamus must have believed me to tell me such important information, and if I find those sheepskin scrolls, I will be able to learn magic." ”

After a few more days of rest, Fed packed up his mood and set off for Fontale City. When he saw his captains standing at the entrance of the camp to greet him, Feder suddenly felt a sadness, especially the excited expressions of Lukka and Winotki, which made Feder a little embarrassed.

"Captain!" Lukka and Winotki hurried up to meet him, and the other captains also walked to Field's side one after another, "Vega also said that you will run away from Duji City and never come back! Sure enough, he who has joined us doesn't know who the Captain is! How could the Captain leave us alone?!" Winoti secretly wiped the tears from her eyes and grabbed Field's arm tightly.

Selena said, "I thought you needed more time to rest, but it's been less than ten days, and nothing major has happened in that time, so I'm so lucky." ”

Moose is also seen in the middle of the captain, standing next to Toto, dressed in clothes similar to Toto's, just like Toto's younger brother.

In fact, Fei De has already discovered the nervousness in the hearts of these subordinates, and there is also some tentative meaning to what he said, "Yes, we still have a lot of things to do," as soon as Fei De said this, the other captains were relieved, at least Fei De would not leave the potato mercenary group, "But as I thought at the beginning, my identity should be under Andre, and he is the leader of this mercenary group." ”

Among these captains, the only people who have followed Andre are Franklin and Reeves, and the others only joined the Potato Mercenary Group later, so they don't know what kind of person Andre is, they are all the same as Marcus Matthews at the beginning, thinking that Fed is the leader of the Potato Mercenary Group.

"I'll send a letter to Andre, and if Andrei's body has recovered, then his sword and his mercenary group should also be given back to him, and I... I will assist him as a deputy head of mission. Fidel made his decision, and some captains stopped talking, and some of the captains knew that Fidel also claimed to be the deputy head of the potato mercenary regiment, but later, under the strong advice of other captains, Fidel reluctantly assumed the position of head of the regiment.

Patrick nodded: "Then let's decide, a mercenary group can't do without a leader, even the deputy head must fulfill his due responsibilities." ”

Jasmine also said: "Isn't the mercenary group of the king's knights in the mercenary guild also led by Malvin, the deputy leader? I really don't believe that the Blackwing King, who has not shown his face for many years, really exists..."

No one raised an objection, and Fei understood that his subordinates sincerely hoped that he could stay and continue to lead them in advance and retreat together. Field, whose eyes were slightly moist, immediately closed his eyes, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "But I will be separated from you for a while, and I need to enter the Black Swamp, the capital of the Principality of Magini, again." ”

That night, while Maev was also present, Fidel explained the reason to all the captains. He entered Black Swamp City this time to express his willingness to accept the invitation of Lady Dalty to him in the first place. Fidel did not say what Vittorio had asked him to do, he only expressed his desire to do his part to protect the principality that had lived for a long time.

Mave was the first to approve of Fidel's decision, and she told him about the current situation in the southern part of the Duchy of Magini. Now all the forces of the rebel conservatives are around the city, but those rebels can neither get close to Black Marsh City, nor dare to continue the attack in other directions. The reason is simple: the Southern Regional Noble Army, organized by Lady Eli, will attack the rebel conservatives. The honorary commander of the Southern Army was Lady Eli, but its actual power fell to Viscount Lawrence of Fontale and Frye Castle. As the central figure of the Southern Army, Lady Eli has secured the support of another important person, Count Endrida, who will put real power in the hands of her only daughter, Maev.

"My mother hopes that with the concerted efforts of the southern aristocracy this time, the southern aristocracy, who have always been taken seriously, will have more say. ”

"There are other noble lords with rich experience and deep qualifications, why did they choose Miss Maevie?" Lukka asked puzzled.

"Because no one dares to take this risk," Maeve pointed to the map of the principality, "most of the southern nobles are waiting for the results to be known, their loyalty to the Duchy of Mageni is not worth mentioning, the Kingdom of Cose, the Empire of East Oguna or the other two principalities may be their future masters, only my mother and Viscount Lawrence have stepped forward and attacked the area of influence of the rebels with the united tens of thousands of southern troops." ”

Mave's words made all the captains suddenly realize, and Fei De immediately understood the intentions of these nobles. Unlike empires and kingdoms, dukes led by dukes did not have a tight centralized power. The counts, viscounts, and barons were all kings of a castle and a town, and they were not related to the Duke of Yanis, and there was no need to put all the bets on an unknowable future. While attacking the rebels was not a difficult choice, it became a difficult choice when confronted by armies from other countries - it was evident that staying in the castle and waiting for the situation to clear up would make these nobles more comfortable.

"How many troops can the Southern Army muster?"

"Less than forty thousand. Mafu replied helplessly.

Fei De calculated in his heart, there are nearly twenty nobles in the southern region, but each nobleman is only willing to hand over less than 2,000 troops, not to mention that Fonta City will definitely send most of the troops, and they are really seeking self-protection. Fei De thought to himself: if he allowed himself to establish a state, it was obvious that the duchy would not be the first choice, because such a country would not be able to become strong at all, and it would not be able to guarantee the loyalty of other lords.

Maeve had been thrust into the position of commander of the Southern Army, and Fei knew that there was not much he could do to help her. Fei immediately decided that during his absence, Jasmine and Selena would serve as Maev's staff officers, and take the Potato Mercenary Regiment to protect Maev as Maeve's personal guard.

Fidel also decided to have a small group of his men follow him into Black Swamp City, as did Patrick, Noor, Luca, Winotki, and Ayana.

"Captain, I suggest you take me with you," the newcomer Vega looked displeased when he didn't hear his name, "Ordinary people can't guard against my attacks. Vega's words were ambiguous, as if hinting at an important person to be assassinated.

After the other captains left, Patrick, Noor, and Ayana stayed behind.

"Captain Fed, about Vaughn, the leader of the Oak Mercenary Regiment..."

"Our mercenary group was ambushed by mercenaries in the plains, it should have been planned by the rebels and the mercenary union," Phyllum connected the known clues when he was alone, and thought of a possibility, "Clermont, the leader of the rebel army, and Vaughn, the leader of the Oak mercenary group, are two of them, and one is a member of the mercenary union, and they both want to see us die." Fett remembered what Zifka said in the Stone Chair Chamber, Clermont's reaction at the time was very suspicious, and Clermont was also the culprit who instigated the battle between Viscount Jados and the rebels, and the rebel cadres who raised the black eagle were unscrupulous and completely different from the ideas of the rebel leader Leon.

"Do we still need to track down Vaughn?"

"No, he's just a pawn," the Oak Mercenary Regiment was originally a candidate mercenary group for the Mercenary Guild, and Vaughn would definitely hold a grudge against the Potato Mercenary Regiment, "The top priority is to help the Duchy of Magini tide over the difficulties and fulfill the original agreement with Dutim City and Tower City." ”

It wasn't until Ayana was left alone that Fed told him about his meeting with Mr. Seamus. Even Simus told him to find the parchment scroll and promised to teach Fidel magic in the future, without hiding the slightest.

"You must not take him lightly," Ayana wrapped the moon shield that Fide had brought back in a white cloth and put it in a locked box, "It is rumored that the old mage has only three mage heirs, two of whom are men, and if he is one of them, then he must have the same strength as Golia, or even above her." ”

"I can't figure out why he needs to use my power to find the parchment scroll. ”

"If he's really a magician who studied with Goliath, then I guess he must have something unspeakable," Ayana recalls the first time she saw Himos, and did she save him?" Or maybe the parchment scrolls are under special protection, and one person can't take them away. ”

Fylde preferred to believe Hemoth's "search for a suitable successor", which he knew was a bit naïve, but when Mr. Heymus said he was willing to be his teacher and teach him magic, even the honor that even an official could not match.

"I've let him go," Feder said, pulling out the parchment scroll that had been handed to him, "and if Mr. Seamus is really lying to me, I'll have nothing to lose." “

When Ayana heard this, she fell silent, and after a long while, she said, "You said that you want Andrei to come back to the position of regimental commander, and I can write to you now." ”

"You also want him to come back as the head of the regiment, right?"

"I just want to see you safe and sound and live by our side, whether you are the head of a mercenary group or not. ”
