Somewhere in the Black Swamp, a few masked rebels were guarding it, and Lazrov and Mary were being imprisoned in their houses with thick ropes tied to their hands and feet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After leaving the city of Dumu, the cadres sent by the two chiefs of Lazrov and Mary rushed to the direction of Black Marsh City overnight. Because from Fed's intelligence, the rebel cadre named Olbi led the leader of Lyon to the Black Swamp, and they didn't know why Olbi wanted to bring Lyon to the most heavily guarded place in the Duchy of Mageni, but in order to return to the leader, the two had to infiltrate the capital city. However, as soon as the two entered the city, they were caught by the rebel lurkers who had been waiting for a long time, and now they couldn't even rescue their own leader, let alone rescue their own leader.

"Mary, in fact, with your identity, these rebels will definitely not do anything to you," the horse boxer Lazrov could not break free from the thick ropes, because the thick ropes used on him were three times that of Mary, "You and Vittorio are the same, they are from Ufus..."

"It's different, my father has a very serious patriarchal mentality, I am just an untalented rebel in his eyes, and I... I've always supported the leader of Lyon, and I'm glad my father didn't pursue me. "This woman, who looks like Vittorio, is only twenty years old, and she has lived a free life for a long time, but for the last six months, she has been imprisoned.

Lazrov tried to break free of the ropes, but no matter how hard he tried, the ropes didn't move, "What about Vittorio? What is he to Ufus?"

Mary lowered her head slightly, and the female rebel with loose curly hair thought for a moment before saying, "He is the most important person in Ufus's heart, the only one who can inherit everything from his father." ”

"Hahaha, that's so dramatic, Vittorio is so important to Ufus, but he's bent on betraying the rebels, and he wants to destroy it all with his own hands..."

Mary shook her head, "That's only half of it, my brother hated mercenaries very early on, but he actually joined the self-proclaimed Potato Mercenary Regiment because he wanted to destroy the current Rebel Organization and then re-establish a new Rebel Legion, that is his ultimate goal..."

As if he didn't believe what his ears were hearing, Lazrov looked at Mary with wide eyes, "You mean Vittorio didn't betray the rebels, he just wanted to change the rebels?!"

Mary closed her eyes and nodded silently.

Lazrov thought back to Vittorio's past. The origin of the short man was well known but not entirely - all the rebels who knew Vittorio knew that he was a prodigy from the Military Academy of the Peace Graves, and that he was not only capable of being a rebel cadre, but he was also good at business, which was a rare ability for a needy rebel organization that lacked funds.

However, no one knew that the short man named Vittorio was actually the son of the great merchant Ufus, and no one knew why Vittorio had left the rebels. Everyone thought that Vittorio was blinded by money, and just wanted to be a businessman instead of a rebel cadre with ideals and change the country.

"Hey, I didn't expect that short man who even sounds like a child to have such an ideal," Lazrov also closed his eyes, and the sunlight shining through the window was quite dazzling anyway, "He and his father were great guys, and he brought a lot of money to the rebels at that time... If everything is as you say, then why should he..."

Before Lazrov could finish his words, fierce fighting was heard outside the humble house. The two of them immediately opened their eyes and struggled to their feet against the wall.

The tattered wooden door was slammed open, and a rebel with his face covered and his hand over his chest had been stabbed with a sharp sword, crushing the wooden door.

A young woman with a beautiful face and a ring of braided curls in her hair was standing in the doorway with two sharp knives, and behind her there were several other people, the rebels who were guarding the door had been defeated.

"Octavia... You—" Both Lazrov and Mary recognized the man who stormed the hut, and Octavia, a rebel cadre known for his fierceness and fierce temperament, was asking his men to untie them.

Octavia put away the two short knives that had made Fed's suffering a lot: "Two cadres of the rebel army... No, it's the cadres of the two leaders faction, this time it was our new faction who rescued you, and the person who grabbed you was the conservative Olbi, that dangerous guy..."

Fed and Rainy were taken to a room by the captain of the guard, and they were checked by a manservant and a maid for anything dangerous. The most dangerous weapon in Fidel's hand was the enchanted sword called "Silence", but the servants didn't seem to see it, and didn't care about it at all. And Yutian was found on his body with two short daggers, and the two short daggers were left in this room and not allowed to be brought to Duke Yanis.

"Come with me, both of you, Duke Yannis and Lady Dourty are in front. ”

The two-handed sword on Fed's back attracted the attention of all the guards standing on either side of the hall, and the same person who was attracted by the sword was Lady Doerty, who stood next to the throne.

"Captain Fidel of the Potato Mercenary Regiment and Captain Rainy Day of the Rain Mercenary Regiment have been brought!" one of the courtiers shouted.

Both Fed and Rainy fell to one knee, and the young Duke of Yannis sat on the throne, looking down on Phyd and Rainy with Lady Doulty.

"Please," Madame Dalty's voice came, "This is the Duke of our Duchy of Mageni, Duke Yannis, I am Madame Dourty, the mother of Duke Yannis, I believe that the two of you have also learned something about some of the characters of our Duchy after attending yesterday's banquet, right?"

"It's already understood. Rainy day and Fidel responded.

"That's good, now that the Principality of Mageni is in the process of employing people, those small and medium-sized mercenary groups have been used by nobles everywhere, two representatives of the excellent mercenary groups in the Principality of Mageni, I and the Duke hope that you can do your best to bring honor to this country and the Duke. Mrs. Dalty's gaze was soft, and the tone in which she said this did not give any pressure.

The Rainy Day Captain first said: "Yes, Madam, I only represent the Rain Mercenary Regiment, and I hereby swear to serve the Duchy of Majeni, whether the opponent is the rebel organization, or other neighboring countries that are showing hostility, or even some nobles and lords who are plotting rebellion, all these people will be my enemies." ”

Feder wanted to say something similar in the other person's tone, but he said in the end: "Duke Yannis, Lady Doerty, the Potato Mercenary Regiment has signed a cooperation agreement with Count Endrida of Duwood City and Lady Eli of Fonta City, so I will do my best to help the two lords." ”

Madame Dalty's face changed a little, and the short silence also made Fidel feel that something was wrong with his words, but Feld still couldn't promise too much in front of the duke with the highest status, and give all the guarantees. Duke Yannis was just petting the little milk dog by himself, and at this time, there was no minister or nobleman present, and when the four of them did not speak, the whole empty hall would give people a sense of oppression.

"Captain Fed, I heard that you are the commander of the mercenary group that has defeated the rebels the most times in the Duchy of Mageni, and I have heard about your previous deeds," Mrs. Doerty finally spoke after a long silence, "It is precisely because of Your Excellency's ability and the strength of the Potato Mercenary Group that I, Mrs. Doerty, want to canonize you as the chief mercenary head of the Duchy of Mageni in the name of Duke Yannis." ”

Could this be the same as the chief regiment that the Papal States once gave to itself, just to use himself and his mercenary group's tricks?

"The Rainy Captain will be canonized as the Deputy Commander of the Mercenaries, and the two will receive the title of Baron and the power to command all the mercenary groups in the Principality of Mageni. ”

Baronial title!

As soon as Mrs. Doorty said this, Feld realized that this canonization would not be a name for nothing. The titles on the mainland include duke, marquis, earl, viscount, baron, etc., counting the lowest knights and special lords in the aristocratic status, these are all real aristocratic status on the mainland. It is difficult for ordinary commoners to obtain a knighthood by their own efforts, even if you are rich, you may only get the status of everything that is on the side of the nobles, and to obtain the title of a country, you must be given by the top leader of the country. And the so-called aristocracy is just those upper class people at the beginning of the founding of the country, who won this honor because of their blood and family. It is precisely because of the hereditary nature of the title and the difficulty of obtaining it that becoming a knight has become the only hope for countless commoners who wish to step into the aristocracy.

Fidel's own status in the Kingdom of Salins was only a commoner, and neither his father nor uncle were of aristocratic origin, but at best a knightly class. However, because of their outstanding abilities, both their uncle Evan and father Faulkner were trusted by the king, even more important than the vain earls and viscounts. But even if King Byron wanted to give Evan the title, it was very difficult, because the other nobles would put pressure on the king, so that the status of nobility would be rare and honorable.

I didn't expect the Duchess to "lose" the title in front of Fidel and Yutian, which was something that Fidel never expected, and it also showed the determination of Madame Dourty and Duke Yannis - the current Duchy of Mageni really needs all kinds of real power, not a pot-bellied, fat-brained nobleman.
