Feder didn't reply, he quietly flipped through the other intelligence letters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Most of these intelligence letters are about the recent situation in the Duchy of Magini, and most of them are about the invasion of the Kingdom of Cose. The legions led by Governor Ludwig marched from the mountains into the northern part of the Duchy of Magini, marching extremely fast and taking nearly ten cities. The nobles stationed in the northern region attempted to organize a sizable counterattack, but the rebels who were hiding everywhere acted like troublemakers, sending information about these noble forces to the Winter Nationals, which led to Ludwig's accurate intelligence easily defeating the forces that wanted to counterattack. The rebels who betrayed their intelligence said that they wanted to break the tyrannical rule of the Principality of Mageni, so all the armies of other countries that attacked the Principality of Mageni would be friends of the Principality of Mageni.

At the same time, the Duchy of Mageni also sent an envoy to negotiate peace, but Ludwig, who had all the decision-making power, directly beheaded the envoy sent by the Black Marsh, and sent all the captured northern nobles back to Koseferti, the capital of the Kingdom of Cose, without saying a word about returning the captives.

Ludwig's relentless march has terrified the Duchy of Magini, a young army commander known as the "Lord of the Snow Leopards", who has become an even more threatening enemy than the Ufus. Ludwig seems to have just conveyed a sentence to the Duchy of Magini - "The Kingdom of Cosse and the Duchy of Mageni have no hostile relations, but the first person to attack the neighbor is the Duchy of Mageni, and the Kingdom of Cosey is just here to return the courtesy." ”

Such a declaration seems to be righteous, but all knowledgeable people know that the great attack of the Kosai Kingdom this time is not just to repay the hatred that was attacked, and they have the ambition to unite with the East Oguna Empire to divide the Duchy of Mageni.

On the other hand, the Eastern Oguna Imperial Army, which had invaded the eastern part of the Mageni Principality, was slow to advance, and General Godala, who had been fighting on the northern front, withdrew from the area where it was at war with the Winter Kingdom and became the front-line commander of the invasion of the Mageni Principality. The invading forces under Godala's command also hinted at a temporary truce between the Eastern Oguna Empire and the Kosai Kingdom, and although the two countries did not make any announcements, the weak Duchy of Mageni was clearly the object of coveting.

Duke Yannis, who had no allies, did not dare to step out of the Black Marsh City, and the nobles of the other regions guarded their homes and did not dare to attack the invaders, because every lord and nobleman feared that once they left the castle, the rebels hiding in the city would wait for an opportunity to cause chaos and seize control of the city.

From one of the intelligence letters, Fidel learned that such a change had befallen a city east of the Duchy of Magini. A baron with his own troops planned to recover the territory outside the city and attack the rebels who robbed the village, who would have thought that his wife and mother's family colluded with the rebel people to block the gate of the city wall and prevent the baron from entering the city, this baron could only take the troops around him to defect to other lords. This incident made more lords and nobles dare not leave their castles, because the main army of the rebels is not strong, but more threats are hidden in the streets and villages, and no one knows if a kind commoner will suddenly draw his weapon from behind and slit the lord's throat.

In addition, there are some intelligence letters related to their own potato mercenary group. There was an intelligence letter that reads "Rebel Co-Conspiracy Fidel", signed anonymously, but Fei De has already guessed that the person who sent such a message is likely to be Chavez, the leader of the Black Hook Mercenary Regiment. Fide knew that Viscount Jados was unlikely to do so, because the soldiers on the edge of the cliff had been killed by Fidel, and Fide had not seen any of Jados's subordinates appear on the cliff. Anyway, mercenaries don't have anything to do with loyalty, so there's no need to ignore such rumors, and besides, I'm ready to step down from the position of head of the regiment... Fidel thought to himself.

Ayana didn't say a word, she just watched Fidel. It wasn't until Fei De had flipped through the dozens of intelligence letters that Ayana said softly, "You read it very seriously. ”

Feder was stunned, "I used to look at the information I collected very carefully, and this information is important to anyone... Well, even if I were to step down from the position of head of the regiment, I would like to understand the current situation. ”

Ayana nodded, and she changed her words, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Ayana and Fid then walked out of the barracks, out of the city of Fonta, and began to walk towards a small river outside the city. Rigu saw the two walking out at the entrance of the camp, but he seemed to be signaling to Ayana that he would not tell anyone else about their departure from the camp late at night.

"I'll respect your choice, but what are you going to do with what Uncle Russell has entrusted you?" As soon as he walked to the river, before the sound of the river flowing could reach Feid's ears, Ayana's sharp question came.

It was because of this matter that Fei De had been thinking about it, and after stepping down as the head of the regiment, he would not be able to borrow the power of the mercenary group to kill the Pillar Priest, "I don't know, maybe assassinate him, or... I'll think about it again, but since I promised Russell's predecessor about this, then I will definitely do it. ”

"Maybe you can take a step back and be a squadron leader, and then have someone else be the regiment commander. ”

"I can't. ”

Ayana followed Fide to the stone bridge and sat down on the edge of the stone bridge, "What can't you do?"

"I can't take responsibility anymore. ”

Ayana couldn't think of an answer, so she took off her shoes and hung her scarred legs on the edge of the stone bridge, and lowered her feet into the flowing river. The river water at your feet was clear and cold, so comfortable that you could forget your troubles.

The sound of owls came from the trees by the river, and the two of them felt the summer evening breeze gently blowing in the silence, and neither of them continued the conversation just now.

"Moose chose Squadron Leader Toto. It was about ten minutes before Ayana glanced sideways at Fidel, she knew she couldn't stay silent, and tonight was the time to persuade Fidel to stay.

"That's good, weapons of war will be the key to future wars, and those ballista carts are more useful and powerful than a sharp sword and a thick shield," Fielder remembered what he had learned about engineering in his hometown, and he noticed the special nature of this piece of knowledge at that time, "The reason why I entrusted Toto with such a heavy responsibility is because those ballista carts can change a lot of things, and he should get more support and develop more new weapons." ”

"What about the cavalry?"

"The cavalry team is also developing, and it is a good thing that the cavalry has become the main force of the mercenary group, so that some of the dangers encountered by the soldiers can be transferred to the armored horses. ”

Ayana clearly hit the ground on a topic that Fede was interested in, and she continued to ask similar questions, trying to avoid topics that could easily silence the two. Feder also chatted with Ayana as he usually did, and said everything he thought.

But even if it's a topic that Feud is interested in, there are times when it's over. When the owl's chirping became louder, Fed stopped talking, and he stood up and looked at the city of Fonta, which still had a little fire.

"It's time to go back. Fidel said with a sigh.

Ayana put her shoes in her hands, followed her bare feet behind Fett, and walked for a long time without saying a word.

"Fidel. Ayana suddenly patted Fidel's shoulder with her hand, and Fylde turned around, and he immediately noticed that the small Ayana was standing there, staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

"I know that Uncle Russell has 'handed' you over in addition to the Moon Shield, and he has also 'handed over' you," Fei De couldn't quite see Ayana's face clearly due to the darkness of the night, but those big eyes were still very clear, "He wants me to live a normal life like an ordinary girl." ”

"It's also a responsibility of mine. ”

"Now I am not much different from ordinary people, and I have some friends who have found their own belonging. ”

"The mercenary group shouldn't be a place for you to belong, and if you choose to leave the potato mercenary group, maybe it's a good thing..."Fid remembered the serious injury that Ayana had suffered, and he sincerely hoped that the sixteen-year-old girl in front of him would be completely out of danger, and he didn't want to see Ayana hurt again.

"I like you. Ayana whispered suddenly.

"What?!" Fidel looked at Ayana, who bowed her head slightly, and he realized that he had heard correctly.

"Liking someone is also the behavior of a normal girl, right?" said Ayana's hands, which seemed unnatural, as she took the wooden bow on her back to her hand.

Feder thought for a long time before responding, "Well, yes, love is also a normal person should..."

"I didn't say it was love," Ayana gripped the bow tighter, "I like Nangus, and I like Winotchy... Although I didn't talk to her much, I could feel that she was a nice person and that she wasn't wary of me. ”

Feder was stunned, "Hmm... It's true that liking someone else doesn't have to be love... Well... It can also be a good other relationship... That's good, that means you're growing up like Russell's predecessors wanted it to be, isn't it?"

"Perhaps," Ayana shrugged, looking up at Fidel, who was a head taller than herself, "so I want you to stay and not leave the people who like you." Ayana's cheeks had turned crimson, and she didn't know if it was because of the confession she had just made or because she had mustered up the courage to say what she wanted to say to keep Field.

Although Ayana didn't hear Feide's response, she saw the tenderness in the other party's eyes, just like Uncle Russell and Uncle Feo, who cared for her very much.

"Stay. Ayana repeated the plea, even though she had thought of something else to keep Fidel, but she wasn't sure she could say something that might sound more powerful.

"Stay!"

The two looked at each other like this, and Fed's mouth opened several times, but immediately closed again. Until the end, Ayana only saw Fidel silently close his eyes and smile, as if nodding.
