Benjamin seemed to have heard Fidel's words as well, and he coughed softly, "Captain Fed, if you want to visit the Peace Grave Military Academy, I can show you around, but I will first inform the administrators of the branch academies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Okay, Benjamin, you go first. ”

Benjamin left with the three classmates behind him, and Fei noticed that the books they were holding were in areas that Fei Ding had never known about, and that they might contain the most advanced knowledge and cutting-edge research in the entire continent. Once upon a time, Feder was deeply interested in the unknown, as if these things were the things that could really change the future of the continent, and they were also important knowledge that could go hand in hand with "magic".

Vittorio saw those people walking away before he said, "They all belong to the Peace Grave Military Academy, and they should have served Duke Yanis, but we, as a mercenary group, if we absorb these..."

"Yes," replied Fidel firmly, "the knowledge they have can be turned into power." Even if we are a mercenary group, we need more different talents, and their role is even greater than that of a sword and thick armor. ”

Jasmine couldn't quite understand, "Is it that much of an impact, more important than my crossbowmen?"

"I was very impressed by the former MONOCULUS mercenary group, and the blacksmith who could forge enchanted weapons in large quantities was a priceless genius. The other subordinates all nodded when they heard this, it is true that personal abilities are limited, but if you borrow advanced tools, it will be completely different. Just as steel is harder than iron, but forging steel is much more difficult than forging iron, steel weapons are more expensive.

The Potato Mercenary Group decided to take a stroll around the outskirts of the Military Academy first, and at the same time settle the subordinates they brought into the city. There was a barracks for the garrison of the city guards at the Military Academy, and Fid temporarily placed his men there, while assigning mercenaries to patrol Black Marsh City until he handed over to Ludwig.

Soon, Benjamin appeared in front of Fidel again, this time bringing more students, about fifteen people. They all claimed to be representatives of cadets from different disciplines, and they all expressed their willingness to take the head of the mercenary Patriotic Regiment on a tour of the Military Academy of the Peaceful Graves.

"Captain Fidel, we all want to hear why Duke Yannis is willing to give up the capital of the Duchy to Ludwig, is it because the Duchy of Maggeni is desperate and needs to exchange this humiliating way for a pitiful peace? Or does Duke Yannis have other plans?"

Fett looked at Benjamin and the dozen pairs of expectant eyes behind him, and he suddenly felt that these students were completely different from ordinary people. Their eyes were clear, and they thought things from a comprehensive perspective, and they didn't have the same serious resistance as some civilians did at the outset - when Fidel had just told the citizens of Black Swamp about Duke Yannis's orders, some of them took to the streets and made angry remarks. The commoners, even after receiving confirmation from the Earl of Campham, vented their anger on their homeland, and they only dared to do so with their own house.

There are even many civilians who point the finger at the mercenary guards who came to take over Black Marsh City, believing that this group of mercenaries killed the old duke, and then kidnapped the Duke of Yannis and bowed to the Kosai Kingdom for their own interests. It's just interesting that at first, they thought that the three guild mercenary groups that were approaching Black Swamp City were the masterminds, and who would have thought that those three mercenary groups would directly bypass Black Swamp City and continue to advance eastward. No one knew what their purpose was, or who had hired them to come to the war-torn Duchy of Magini.

Instead of answering them directly, Fidel asked Vittorio to ask the students about their respective areas of expertise. Some of the students were good at mathematics, others were particularly talented in writing articles, a tall male student was very interested in astronomy and meteorology, and a short female student had a special insight into agriculture and animal husbandry. There are also some areas of expertise that Phyllum has never heard of, such as studying insect life, burrowing, and human mood.

These areas that Fed and the rest of his men find new and interesting have been around for years, but even Vittorio is surprised by what some areas are studied. Vittorio, as an outstanding cadet of the Peace Grave Military Academy, once told the captains of the Potato Mercenary Regiment that this academy was very different from the Kestrel Academy in the Kingdom of Salins. The most different thing is that the Peace Grave Military Academy no longer simply focuses on war and military affairs, but allows the students in the academy to focus on their respective interests.

Benjamin's favorite thing is to study the "Cracked Powder" that Vittorio mentioned earlier. Benjamin was thrilled to talk about the powder mixed with the brimstone, and he told the crowd that the powder had been studied at the Peace Grave Military Academy for more than five years, that he had been studying it for four years, and that he had given a new name to the powder that had the effect of causing an astonishing explosion.

"I call them flower powders, because when they are lit like golden flowers, they are consumed by fire in an instant, and then they disappear!" Benjamin didn't notice a few drops of saliva from the corners of his mouth as he said this, "It's so powerful... I don't think even the magic of the ancient times can compare to them... I'm willing to spend my whole life studying it..."

"Fireworks?" Fed glanced at Vittorio, who just shrugged.

"It doesn't matter what it's called, the point is that it's really dangerous, but if used correctly, it can change a lot of things, including war. Vittorio, a successful businessman, was clearly forward-looking, and his two words strengthened Fidel's determination to take Benjamin and the others for himself.

Fei De, who is no longer accustomed to fighting alone, has been trying to increase the strength of his mercenary group, from merging the Mulihua mercenary group with a large number of excellent crossbowmen, to developing a mercenary team dominated by well-equipped cavalry, and then to spending a lot of money to develop siege weapons ballista vehicles. This step-by-step improvement and strengthening has made the potato mercenary group no longer a mediocre-looking "potato", but a different military team. Feder had long been interested in the Rebels' conspiracy with the black powder, and meeting Benjamin here made Feder feel that he had a chance to "cooperate" with this "fireworks".

"Benjamin, who provided the material for your research?"

"These have always been provided by the old duke, and so have the funds," Benjamin was pulled back to his eyes by Fidel's words, "but since the old duke's death, the nobles who have remained in Black Swamp have only given us bread... We don't need bread! we want to study the material we want to study!" shouted in unison to the dozen or so students behind Benjamin, who apparently saw Fidel as the Duke of Yannis's spokesman, hoping to regain research funding from Fidel.

Feder looked at Vittorio, the short deputy superintendent immediately understood what Feder meant, and he thought for a moment before nodding.

"In the future, we will provide your research funds, and we will find ways to help you find the materials you need, but your results will be reported to us. Vittorio said.

When Benjamin heard this, he turned to discuss in a low voice with the other student representatives, and after about a minute, he turned around, "We are from the Duchy of Mageni, and the success of our research should be in the hands of the Duke of Yanis." ”

"Our head of the regiment is the most trusted person of Duke Yannis, otherwise Count of Camheng and Duke Yannis would not let Captain Fei handle the transfer of Black Swamp City. Moreover, it was the head of the Fielder who demanded the protection of the Military Academy of the Peace Grave, and used it as the stronghold of the Duchy of Mageni in Black Swamp City. Vittorio could understand Benjamin's concerns.

Benjamin looked at Fidel again, "Okay, then we'll still give the research results to Duke Yannis, you can only look at it, not take it away." ”

"Of course, we'll help you get the results into the hands of Duke Yannis. Squadron Leader Jasmine put his arm directly on the shoulder of Benjamin, who was not tall, and the meat ball on his chest also squeezed into his face, and showed a malicious smile.

Benjamin and more than a dozen cadets immediately took Fed and others on a tour of the Peace Graves Military Academy. Most of the academy teachers and cadets of military subjects left, and all intelligence materials were taken away, leaving only them, who were considered useless by the Earl of Camphen. So the military academy has a lot of space to accommodate people who want to live in.

Fei De saw firsthand the special in the Military Academy, which has a lot of special cultural manifestations in addition to the strong academic atmosphere. Some of the students walked around the academy casually in fancy clothes, claiming that the material of the clothes was specially made, warm in winter and cool in summer, and only one or two pieces could replace all clothes. Some of the students were walking towards the gate of the academy with some oddly shaped stones, and they said that they wanted to pile up a work of art in front of the academy. Let the northern, savage Winter people see their definition of beauty. There are also students who are training all kinds of animals, and they are training cats, dogs, geese, pigs, and other animals like horse trainers. They claim that these animals are all available to humans, and that they have other things to be exploited besides being eaten. Winotki even joined in and discussed with them the trick of training snakes, and it seemed that they were very close to each other.

"It's really an eye-opener here!" Lukka rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining, "If you can ride a wild boar into the battlefield, you must be more powerful than a war horse!"

"The boar will throw you off the mud first, right?"

Fed saw that his men were interested in all sorts of novelties at the Military Academy, and Benjamin was happy to introduce them to everything. From the bottom of his heart, Fidel confirmed that he had chosen this place as the base of the Mercenary Guardian Regiment, and that there were a lot of "treasures" that could be discovered, so it was no wonder that the old duke would be so stingy with this land of talent.
