The territory of the Duchy of Mageni is the smallest of the three duchies, the largest being the Duchy of Delamain, but at the same time the Duke of Delamain Webster is also the weakest duke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the land area of the Duchy of Mageni is not as large as that of the other two principalities, its geographical advantages are very obvious. To the east of the Duchy of Mageni is a rugged hilly area with a lot of hard rock terrain and soil erosion, which is not suitable for growing most food crops, and the army can wear out several pairs of military boots when passing through this area. As a result, it became the favorite area of the thieves and bandits, and this area was of little value to the Eastern Oguna Empire and the Duchy of Magini, and the two bordering countries also tacitly put this area on hold. If the Duchy of Magini included this vast hilly land disputed with the Empire as its own land, the Duchy of Magini would have the largest land area of the three principalities.

To the north of the Duchy of Magini are lofty mountains, and the countless intermittent mountains are no easier to pass through than the Split Mountains. The high, steep peaks are rarely inhabited, and the difficult mountains can be found in the Orions of the kingdoms of Cose, Noo, and Magini. For the Duchy of Mageni, they only need to build fortresses at the exit of certain mountain ranges to effectively defend against enemies who want to pass through narrow mountain roads, and it is very difficult to break through the defense line of the Duchy of Mageni from here.

To the west of the Duchy of Mageni is a large plain, which is the most unadvantageous area of the Duchy of Mageni, but as an entry and exit point for trade with other countries, the Duchy of Mageni has stationed a large number of troops here all year round, and has also paid great attention to building fortifications, so the weakest point has become a solid shield today.

The capital's Black Swamp has a "sense of security" that no other capital has, because the capital is surrounded by large swamps, and these swamps, which are difficult for animals to walk and cannot grow any crops, have become a natural barrier to the capital. If you want to enter the capital, you can only enter it from a curving road to the west of the capital. The other three directions of the capital are covered with swamps, which are sparsely populated with plants, and when the rainy season comes, this area becomes a large lake, which requires small boats to pass, so the walls of the capital's black swamp are very thick, in order to prevent sewage from overflowing.

Maeve stood beside Fed, holding a long wooden bar pointing to the east of the capital's Black Marsh, where there was a city marked "Decree City", "This city should have been captured by the rebel forces, anyway, we haven't received any news from Decree City since yesterday." ”

Fidel nodded, he had already studied the map of the Duchy of Magini in detail many times in the mercenary's quarters. This principality, which has average relations with its neighbors, is quite conservative, and most of them are reluctant to form alliances or grudges with other countries, but when they decide to attack, they are swift, like a sleeping poisonous snake.

"Legend of Decree City is the founding place of the law of the establishment of the kingdom in the Old Kingdom, there is the largest library in the Principality of Mageni, and there are many scholars, I didn't expect the rebels to choose to sneak attack there, and I don't know if they will destroy the things there," Maev pointed to the south of Fonta City in the southern area of the principality with a wooden strip, and then dragged the tip of the wooden strip to Decree City, the route was like an arc, "It is the closest place to the capital Black Swamp, it is estimated that the nobles who live in the Black Swamp now are frightened, right?"

Fidel didn't know if the nobles and ministers would be intimidated by the long distance transfer of the rebels, but he was sure that the southern part of the Duchy of Mageni was no longer dangerous.

The southern part of the Duchy of Mageni is a mixture of swamps and plains, as well as dense forests and hills, and even some independent peaks. There are also many rivers and lakes in this area, so for this undeveloped land, the Rebels chose this place many years ago. The southern part of the Duchy of Magini borders the Duchy of Delamain, as well as the northern mountains of the Papal States, and even the Transriverine region of the Eastern Oguna Empire. The Rebels have been active here for many years, and recent news from the Four Cities in the South indicates that the Rebels have abandoned the mixed area and are attacking the capital with the Rebels who are attacking the South.

"Even if they take Decree City, or even the small towns and castles around Decree City, the rebels are not sure that they will capture the capital Black Swamp," Fide looked at the yellow markers representing the rebels, all of whom were gathered together and placed in Decree City, "What is this desperate blow for..."

Maeve placed a blue marker representing the regular army of the Duchy of Magini on the border of the Duchy of Mageni, and only placed one in the Black Swamp of the capital, "I think they really have no choice, they have to take a desperate gamble." In the beginning, they definitely didn't expect that Square Tower City would be cleared by Fidel. ”

"It was because of my actions that I turned things around? No. ”

Maev put the markers representing the army of the Kingdom of Cose, the Duchy of Noo, and the Imperial Army of East Oguna again and placed them on the border of the Duchy of Majeni, "It's a little strange to think about it now, I heard that the person who is now in charge of the rebel army is the conservative big merchant Ufus, since he is a conservative, why would he choose such a radical approach?" So now Mei Fu has to seriously learn strategic and tactical things, and she has to stay in the barracks of Square Tower City every day.

"It's actually quite simple," Squadron Leader Jasmine's voice came from outside the tent, and Lukka and Selena entered the tent with her, "because Ulfus is very sure that he can hit it with one hit!" Jasmine snatched a yellow marker from Maev's hand, slammed it into the blue marker in the capital's Black Swamp, and slammed it on the map.

Both Fed and Maeve were slightly surprised, and they looked at each other before reacting. Indeed, as Jasmine said, conservative conservatives are more like a lion who is willing to forbear, and will suddenly pounce when the time comes, which is nine out of ten.

"Captain Fidel, Toto has come to Fonta City with all the men who can fight, and now is the time for our potato mercenary group to show its strength! Please give the order to Captain Fidel!" Luca, who was very energetic, shouted loudly, and he glanced at Mei Fu as soon as he finished shouting, "Please also ask General Mei Fu to give an order to fight side by side with our group leader!"

Mei Fu smiled like a flower, that beautiful smile and heroic military uniform made Luka stunned, "Now there are three thousand regular troops in Fangta City that can be mobilized by me, although it is a little more than the total number of potato mercenary groups, but I am willing to hand over the command in my hands to you..."

"The regular army should be placed under the command of the nobles, and I will command my own mercenary subordinates. ”

Jasmine said, "How does it sound like commanding an entire nation's army... In fact, it adds up to only 5,000 people, and if you find the regular army of two or three cities together, you can surpass us. ”

"Even if there are only five thousand people, if they are used wisely, they can play a decisive role in a battle," Selena changed into a knight's armor, and she also had golden hair, she looked more mature, "The Battle of Doret is an example, those dozens of mercenary groups did not accomplish anything in the end. ”

Maeve listened carefully, "The nobles in the principality should have hired all the mercenaries they could hire, and the nobles in the capital may also have contacted the mercenary union, and there should be no defection in the decisive battle with the rebels this time, because the rebels have always been reluctant to stand with the mercenaries." ”

This Fei De also thought of this, the members of the mercenary union active in the Three Duchy include the Blue Flame Mercenary Group and the American Young Mercenary Group, although the head of the former has fought with him, but this time the people who hired him and them are all Mageni Principality, which can be regarded as a joint effort in a sense.

"Now that the crisis in the southern region has been resolved, why don't we call on the other eleven nobles and let them join them?" Lukka suggested as he looked at the map.

"This matter will be very difficult," Maev pointed to more than a dozen cities in the southern region, "these nobles are very selfish and are not very active in calling for the capital, if they hadn't heard that the rebels were going to attack from the southern region, it is estimated that they would not have agreed to sign a mutual aid agreement in the south." ”

Indeed, the selfishness of the aristocracy surpasses that of ordinary people. On the other hand, the regular armies of the Duchy of Magini to the west, north, and east had to guard the borders, and only the troops in the southern and central cities could use them, so it seemed that a rush to the capital was a rather reasonable option for the rebels.

"Then let's attack their camp," Lukka suddenly suggested, "there must be remnants of the rebels there, or booty... Anyway, we have so few troops, it seems a bit silly to join the frontal battlefield. ”

"Are you going to let our regiment commander attack the unarmed rebel families?" Selena glared at Luca, "Besides, if the rebels still have any funds and supplies, they would have used them to buy armaments, so it's your turn to grab them." ”

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and now the potato mercenary group that had successfully relieved the siege of Fangta City seemed to have suddenly lost its goal. Faced with a large-scale transfer of troops, Fidel knew that it was not time for him to do what had been agreed with Vittorio, and to some extent, he needed Vittorio to give a "signal". So the situation is a bit awkward now, after all, the rebels have gathered all their forces and plan to fight a decisive battle in the Black Marsh, the capital of the Duchy of Magini, while other neighboring countries are ready to move.

"Captain, your letter. A mercenary walked in and said.

As soon as Feder took the letter, the handwriting on the letter gave Feder an opportunity.
