Chapter 330: The Merchant's Defeat I

"There are still rebels who have managed to break through," Patrick walked into the place where Fielder was sleeping with a copy of the latest information, they were far away from the city of Decree, and even far away from the center of the Duchy of Magini, "but the forces gathered by the conservatives of the rebel army have come to naught, and the information received shows that the rebels in the Duchy of Mageni are now only scattered and scattered in various places, and it is basically impossible to organize and unite into a force."

Fett nodded and took the intelligence document, and he had arrived in the Southern Army's sphere of influence with his men and a small number of Rebels a day earlier. In addition to the regular army and the mercenary Patriotic Regiment, the Southern Army has become the hope of many Majeni principalities, especially the brave and beautiful Miss Maev, a strong female noblewoman who always insists on standing on the front line of the battlefield, which makes the principality admire.
Vittorio and the other injured people also received treatment from the Southern Army, and those Southern Army did not see that Vittorio and the others were members of the Righteous Army, and Mei Fu was not here at this time, so Fei De, who was Mei Fu's friend, naturally gained a lot of right to speak, and some of the generals of the Southern Army planned to tie up Fei De, so as to improve his status in the Southern Army.
"I suggest we don't leave here for now," the camp is filled with only Patrick and Ayana, who are Fidel's right-hand men, "Miss Maeve is far to the east, and we will either go back to the rear first to straighten out, or we will find a way to contact Jasmine and Selena, but whichever one we choose, we must not stay here for too long, because not everyone will let us go like that Robin Baron." ”
Patrick's last words were obviously a reminder to Fidel, who of course knew that he had become a suspect in the murder of the old duke with Yu Tian, the leader of the Rain Mercenary Regiment, before leaving Decree City - the old duke had died, and the news of the little duke's whereabouts had spread throughout the Duchy of Magini in just three days, and even the soldiers of the individual Southern Army would look at Fidel and his party with special eyes. It's just that because the southern army is separated from the political center of the Duchy of Magini, and Maev and Lawrence are not very loyal to the Duke of Yannis, their self-reliance has begun to appear.
"Although we are suspicious, but Zebuba, who disappeared with us, is also suspicious," Fide put the information down, and Ayana just listened silently, she generally did not express her opinion, "The Duchy of Mageni has no time to care about the Duke's disappearance, and we don't need to worry too much." Feder's "lack of time" was due to Ludwig's surprise attack on the Black Marsh. The army that had broken through the northern city was already threatening the heart of the Duchy of Magini, and the Black Marsh City was now few in force, relying on its walls to fend off Ludwig's attacks. At the same time, the nobles in the western part of the duchy were ambiguous, and they did not send a single reinforcement to the east and north after the Duchy of Noò signed a peace treaty, as if the rich land belonged to the Duke of Aldington.
In the face of the attack of the Winter Army, it can be said that they are powerless to resist, and the regular army that should be defeating the conservative side of the rebel army must also return to the capital immediately, and those eastern nobles who are hoping for reinforcements have become outcasts, and they can only temporarily fight against the invading army of the Eastern Oguna Empire alone, and pray that the Southern Army will support them as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely not be able to resist the Imperial Army, which has much more troops than the Winter Army.
"Even if they provoke the Kosai Kingdom and the Eastern Oguna Empire now, these two powers will not give up their plans to carve up the Duchy of Mageni. Fear... I am afraid that without the duke, the Duchy of Mageni without foreign aid will be destroyed in the near future. ”
Patrick's analysis was not a distant prediction, and Fielder was also looking at the map of the Duchy's battle situation and thinking seriously about what he would do if he was the commander of the regular army if he was Maeve and Viscount Lawrence. But judging from the current situation, the Duchy of Mageni can only withstand the offensive invasion of one side at most, and this side is most likely not to the east, but to the north.
Together with the other captains, Fid analyzed the current situation in the Duchy of Magini, and it was clear that the assembled forces of the Southern Army were not capable of stopping the invading army of the Eastern Oguna Empire, and the Imperial Army was more than four times the number of the Southern Army. These soldiers, who had been on the northern front of the East Oguna Empire, were the most elite troops, and they felt a great headache in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Winter Nations, but the scattered sand and the Mageni Principality immediately became the "soft persimmons" in their eyes, and it was not difficult to break through the self-defended cities one by one.
On the other hand, the Kingdom of Kosai only sent a small number of troops to attack the Duchy of Mageni, and if the Southern Army could resist the Winter Kingdom's northern front with other regular troops and mercenaries, it might achieve unexpected results. Both Feder and his subordinates agreed on this strategy, and Feder immediately sent a letter to Mave and Lawrence, hoping that they would consider his opinion.
"Without the two dukes, I don't know who will inherit the rule of the Duchy of Mageni..."Winoti looked annoyed.
"I guess no one dares to inherit, and whoever can repel the invading army is qualified to become the next ruler of the Duchy of Magini," Luka's words were nodded in agreement by Vega and Nur, "Forcibly trying to sit on the duke's throne now will only become the target of public criticism, making those nobles who care about self-preservation even more reluctant to send troops to support." ”
"With that said, the Duchy of Mageni may really be doomed... Why are those aristocrats so selfish... Obviously, everyone is from the Duchy of Majni... Doesn't they have anything to do with this land..."Fid could understand Winotki's heart, but how could a war between nations be controlled by a mercenary group, except for a mercenary who had the power to turn the tide...
Ayana had personally examined the eight parchment scrolls brought back from the Great Library, and she and Feder had come to the same conclusion - the words engraved on them were most likely intended to conceal the true effect of these parchment scrolls, and now they had to return to Dulog City to see that the self-proclaimed heir of magic was gone, and only the other party could detoxify the secrets in the parchment scrolls.
After their men had left, Mary and Lazrov approached Fidel, who asked to leave the place, "We are going to rescue the leader of Leon! You also said that he is in the Black Marsh! If there is no leader of Leon, then the rebels will be destroyed along with the Duchy of Magini!" Mary has regained her original arrogance, and her domineering "farewell" made Fede smile bitterly in his heart.
Lazrov also agreed: "Captain Fid, we have received your favor and will definitely repay you, but the leader of Lyon is indeed our most important leader, Uvsus is dead, Rutz and Zifka don't know where to go, and now Uvs's plan has ravaged this land, and the people here have been devastated by the invaders, which is not what our rebels want to see... I have contacted some of the rebel cadres who have escaped, and they all intend to re-establish the leader of Lyon. ”
"What you have to do is your freedom, and I have no intention of hindering you. ”
Mary gritted her teeth, "Since you've helped us, why don't you consider joining us!?"
Feder was stunned, "Join you?"
"Of course! Hmph! I can see that you are different from ordinary mercenaries, and your conscience has not been completely extinguished! How about it, consider working with us! Anyway, you murdered the old duke..."
"I didn't do that, the assassination of the old duke is still a mystery, and neither I nor my men are involved. ”
Lazrov: "I also don't think that Captain Fide is a murderer, he has no motive, and I think the head of the regiment called Rainy Day is very suspicious." The mercenary kept directing the other mercenary groups out, and she kept getting close to the Duke of Yannis... If her true identity isn't from our rebels, then why would she do it..."
Fidel didn't give any more explanation, "Are you going to take Vittorio with you?"
"My brother... Hmph, I haven't been able to forgive my brother yet!" Mary hugged her chest, her petite boobs were so big that Fidel's eyes didn't dare to look at him directly, "Even if he had any troubles, he would have been stupid to leave our rebel organization in the first place!"
"Vittorio, didn't he join Captain Fidel's mercenary group?"
"That's right, I'm going to keep him, he's still part of our mercenary group. ”
The tent was suddenly opened, and Vittorio, who had to pull the tent to stand firmly, shouted: "I'm no longer a mercenary!
Vittorio was bandaged with a white cloth in many places, and Mary, who had just said that she couldn't forgive her brother, had already walked over quickly and held Vittorio, as did Lazrov, who was supposed to be recuperating and was obviously unable to sleep peacefully due to irritability.
Fidel also stood up, and he and Vittorio looked at each other - the other's eyes were full of frustration, disappointment, anger, and unwillingness, Vittorio's plan had Fidel's part, but neither Feder nor Vittorio's businessman friend knew his full plan. As the businessman friend said, Vittorio is a businessman who takes on most of the risks of his investments and takes most of the rewards when he succeeds.
"I've lost all my money, I have nothing... All the rewards you promised you were promised have come to naught... But I don't owe you anything, I said I was just using your mercenary group... And..."
Fidel interrupted Vittorio's self-reflection, "Indeed, it was my decision to agree to cooperate with you, and even if it didn't get a reward, it was part of the risk I had to take, and I didn't blame you." ”
"No way! How can you not blame me for all the things you have done?"
"Because I saw you as a companion when I agreed to work with you," Vittorio, who was still wooden-faced, angry and self-esteem-wounded, was clearly touched by the word "companion", "the days we spent together are not fake, and as long as we are not dead, we have a chance to make a comeback." ”
