Levier sat on one side with Octavia, and Vittorio, Selena, Patrick, and other captains sat on the other side. Although Vittorio is the deputy superintendent, Fidel trusts him more than most captains, and his current position is not much different from the position he claimed when he first came to the Potato Mercenary Corps. Everyone thought that with just one word from Fidel, Vittorio would really come from behind and become the deputy head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment.

Feder looked through the map of the secret strongholds provided by Levier again, each of which marked the stored supplies. There was food, weapons, and armor, as well as a variety of clothes, which Levier claimed were for the convenience of the rebels.

"In addition to this map, the rebels who are lurking in the city are ready to give an order. ”

"How many rebels can be commanded lurking in a medium-level city?" Vittorio took the map, "Let's take the city of the Three Calves as an example." Vittorio was referring to the city of the Three Calves was an important city in the eastern part of the Duchy of Magini, and although it was small, it was located at the confluence of two rivers and was built on a vast plain, so it became a hub for the transportation of goods.

"There must be a lot of my subordinates in Sancal City, at least hundreds. ”

This number is enough to bring chaos to the defenders in the city, and no one knows how much strength these rebels have, maybe they can meet the inside and outside when attacking the city, which is absolutely fatal for the Imperial Army of East Oguna, which does not have too many defenders stationed to occupy the city everywhere.

According to current intelligence, the main force of the Imperial Army of East Oguna is in a stalemate with Ludwig, and about 35% of the army is in front of the southern part of the Duchy of Magini. The strength of the Mercenary Guard Regiment was only a little more than 10,000, and with the defenders of the surrounding cities, as well as the army before the Count of Camphen, there were about 30,000 people. The Imperial Army on the opposite side had at least 60,000 troops, all of whom were stationed in the field and rarely remained in the city. Perhaps these Imperials are afraid of the instability of the occupied cities, after all, they are invaders to the people of the land. Unless Duke Yannis is caught, the city falls, or the White Flag is raised, they will always be on the lookout.

Although Levier seemed to be selflessly handing over the map to Fidel, and at the same time expressed his willingness to accept the supervision of the civilian mercenary group by the Mercenary Guard, he still made his own request.

"As far as I know, the Mercenary Guardian Regiment also has a position of Deputy Chief Leader, which was previously held by the Rainy Day Commander of the Rain Mercenary Regiment, but now that the Rainy Day Regiment Commander is nowhere to be found, I hope that the Captain of the Wild Regiment will make a request to Yannis for me to take this position. ”

"What's in it for you to get this position. ”

Li Wei confessed: "Associated with this position is the title of a baron, although you refuse to become a nobleman of the Duchy of Magini, Captain Field, everyone knows that your status is much higher than that of ordinary barons. And I'm interested in it. ”

"It's just an empty title with no territory. ”

Levier closed his eyes slightly, "It's true, it's just an empty title, but it has a special symbolic meaning for me. ”

Octavia interjected, "It's ironic that the leader of a civilian mercenary regiment with the main force of the rebels would want to become a nobleman. ”

Fidel couldn't see any special intentions behind Livier, if the rebel freshmen really sincerely wanted to assist the Duchy of Mageni and assist Duke Yannis in guarding this land, then this so-called "deputy commander" was not a luxury, and Duke Yannis and Count Endrida who were far away in Dumu City would definitely be willing to give Livier.

Vittorio was still thinking about Levier's intentions, and Fidel agreed, which was a low price compared to the map of the secret stronghold where the supplies were stored.

Except for this simple request, Li Wei made no other request, and he had already let his nearly 4,000 mercenary subordinates live in the barracks that had just been vacated the day before. Many mercenaries went to the camp of the civilian mercenary group to inspect it, most of them didn't know the origin of Li Wei and the civilian mercenary group, but they knew that the civilian mercenary group was a mercenary group that had risen very quickly recently and increased in strength, and it was also established in the war-torn Duchy of Mageni.

Just as Fide and Vittorio were inspecting it himself, an episode arose.

A mercenary in his forties and almost fifty years old was pulling a young mercenary in his twenties, and he was scolding the other party loudly while trying to pull the other party out of the camp of the civilian mercenary group.

"Why did you get here? Come home with me! This is not the place for you!"

"I don't want to go back! I want to follow Commander Levier to make a contribution!" The young mercenary is not a real mercenary, his identity behind him is the rebel army, "Commander Levier has promised to take us with him to expel the invaders of the East Oguna Empire!

Judging by the appearance of the older mercenary and the actions of the young mercenary, he can prove that he is the father of the young mercenary, and as a father, he will definitely worry about the safety of his children. Noor, who had had a child, tried to take the initiative to dissuade him, but was stopped by Vittorio.

"This may happen again, most of the mercenaries of the civilian mercenary group joined behind the backs of their relatives, and they were confused by the old words of the rebel army. ”

Nur had never been accustomed to Vittorio, so he ignored the other party's dissuasion, walked up directly, and asked the young mercenary, "Is he your father?"

"That's right... But not even my father can take away my freedom!"

"You're not free at all! The freedom you want will kill you!"

Nur tried to think about it for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged mercenary, "Do you think it's a dangerous thing for your son to go to war?"

"Of course, of course, and what kind of mercenary group is the mercenary group he joined? all of them wear tattered armor, use tattered swords, this kind of thing..."

Before the middle-aged mercenary could finish speaking, Nur pulled the young mercenary over, "Okay, this kid will stay by my side in the future!"

Before the middle-aged mercenary could react, the young mercenary shouted, "My regiment commander is Li Wei..."

"Levier, he'll agree!" Nur didn't care if the middle-aged mercenary wanted to object, he directly used brute force to pull the young man away, and said that he wanted the other party to join the potato mercenary group. But the young mercenary refused to do so, he did not reveal his actual identity, apparently Levier had made them do so.

"Commander, there won't be any problem for Noor to do this, right?" Lukka watched as the middle-aged mercenary sat helplessly on the ground, some of his companions came over to comfort him, and his son was chased away by Noor.

"If it's just a matter of solving the matter at hand, it's not a quick way to cut through the mess," Vittorio replied in place of Fid, "and Levier won't respond to any of them, as long as Captain Noor can take care of the young man." ”

Fei De didn't like to deal with such trivial relationships, whether it was the young mercenary or his father, they should choose their own lives autonomously, rather than being chosen by others. Not only commoners without status, but also the descendants of knights and nobles, they should have the right to choose and decide their own future, rather than becoming a continuation of their father's life.

Dutim soon replied, and Duke Yannis agreed to Fidel's suggestion to make the head of the emerging civilian mercenary regiment, Levier, the chief of the mercenary regiment. At the same time, Levier was canonized as a baron, and his domain was a small city in the eastern region. The lord of that small city had surrendered to the Eastern Oguna Empire, so by recovering that area, Levier would be able to rise from a commoner to a true nobleman.

As always, Fidel rejected the advice of the Duke of Yannis and the Count of Endrida, and he resented the path of his father, even the title was not what he wanted. Moreover, the so-called aristocracy is nothing more than a meritorious person at the beginning of the establishment of the state, and the heirs who inherit the title also forget that they are not earned, and forget the hardships of other people's lives. Most of the people who grew up in this environment were weak and incompetent, like the Duke of Yannis whom Feder first knew.

As soon as Levier became a baron, he proposed to hold a meeting with all the mercenary captains in the Mercenary Guardian Regiment, and he suggested that Fidel should not attend, but that he could secretly send his subordinates to listen to the thoughts of these captains. Although those mercenaries still have some scruples, this practice is also to let those disappointed mercenaries relieve their emotions. Vittorio also thought of some other ways to help Fidel restore his reputation, and agreed to Revere's plan.

The meeting ended successfully, and according to the feedback from the Ayana who was dispatched, the leaders were actually more inclined to Fidel, after all, the mercenaries who left a week ago were dissatisfied with Fide and the potato mercenary group. However, the remaining mercenaries remained as optimistic about Fidel and the Mercenary Guardians as they had been outside Black Swamp.

"Duke Yannis has learned the truth that Viscount Robin is a traitor," Levier held the evidence of the defection in his hands as he conspired with Robin, "and those who are angry at the Earl of Camhen's defeat can also transfer this anger to Robin and his family." ”

"What are you going to do with his family?" Fidel looked into Levier's eyes, the other party really looked just plain from the outside, and his eyes were not as good as Vittorio's.

"Kill openly, of course. ”

"Wouldn't this frighten the other nobles who wavered?"

"Severe punishment is obviously what the Duchy of Magini needs most now, and it is also the means that Duke Yannis needs to use to establish his prestige," Livier always narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke, as if he was in a state of difficulty, "A ruler without prestige is like a sheep, and no one will put the sheep in his eyes and fear him." In addition, in my capacity as deputy commander-in-chief, I sent a personal letter to the Duke of Yannis, hoping that he would come to the front with the army of Count Endrida, sit in the middle army, and personally conquer the enemy. ”
