After returning to his residence, Fed gathered several captains who had been brought to Black Swamp City, told everyone about the Rainy Captain's plan, and confessed his thoughts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now is the critical moment, the most dangerous place in the Duchy of Magini is not the various fronts, but the two dukes - Fidel believes that the Rainy Captain really wants to protect the Duchy, and she may have ulterior reasons, but that does not prevent Fidel from being willing to help the other party.

"Is this female leader really trustworthy? We haven't figured out her motives yet..."Luca had never let go of any suspicions, he had only met the rainy captain once, "we haven't done anything since we got here, I think we should get out of here and go to Selena and the others immediately." ”

"Anyway, let's find something to do!" Noor cried out, scratching the back of his ear, "It's torture to live next to this swamp with a lot of mosquitoes!

Although the subordinates are complaining, they all support Fidel, "Our mission is to protect Duke Yannis when he contacts the old duke on a rainy day, and if there is any trouble, we will find a way to rescue Duke Yannis from the dangerous place." Fidel remembered Vittorio's instructions again, and only hoped that the matter would end quickly.

"In this way, we have become enemies of the Duchy of Mageni. Patrick reminded.

"Don't worry, we have other ways out," Noor pointed to the side of the guide, "Even if things turn out the worst here, we can flee immediately, and then flee back to the Southern Army to join Meev! Now that the Duchy of Mageni is fighting on its own, the nobles everywhere have their own careful thoughts!"

Fidel immediately arranged for everyone to be tasked with, and Ayana, Patrick, and Vega would follow him into the palace with Rainy Day. Rainy days will contact Fentry as soon as she meets the old duke, and she only needs to control the old duke, then this coup-like plan is more than half completed. There is only one thing they can do, and that is to protect Duke Yannis during this time.

The date for the operation was set for dawn tomorrow, but a piece of bad news first reached the ears of everyone in the Potato Mercenary Regiment - the Winter Army under the command of Ludwig suddenly appeared not far north of Black Swamp City, and the surprise army that suddenly appeared apparently bypassed the northern defense line that still had some defensive capabilities, and it was not known whether it was to threaten Black Swamp City or to cut off the connection between the central and northern parts.

As soon as the sun shifted a little at noon, some nobles of Black Marsh City launched an attack on this Winter Army, which numbered no more than three thousand. They were divided into three lines, intending to surround the surprise army that had stopped there to watch the Black Swamp City with overwhelming force, intending to eat them in one go.

Neither Fidel nor his subordinates cared about the military operation north of the city, and Black Swamp City, where so many troops had been transferred, was more convenient for the rainy day plan, which was not really bad news for them. Fei De and his men rested after dinner and did not wake up until midnight. Fei De took the three captains and a small number of mercenaries down to the outside of the camp of the Rain Mercenary Regiment, waiting for the rainy day to appear.

"Fed, why are we taking this risk. Patrick asked as he waited.

Fide still did not say the task that Vittorio had entrusted to him, but said: "I agree with the plan of the captain of the rainy day to go off the rails, and at the same time I hope that the Duchy of Magini can win this battle." Patrick, do you think that if nothing else, the Duchy of Magini will be able to win this Great Patriotic War?"

"Not really. Without the support of other forces, it would be too difficult to win, and besides, the entire principality was not united. ”

"Well, I think so too, but the practice of the head of the rainy day can bring the nobles of this principality together, and it is only necessary to 'bring up' the old duke alone... This is the only way to keep the Principality alive, and the only way we can do to help Maev. ”

"Hopefully this will really work and not make the situation more chaotic and worse. ”

The rain came as promised, and she was still the same, unenergetic and stiff. Because of his special status, Yu Tian was able to enter the palace on the grounds of "important urgent news", and those guards were also surprised that the head of Yu Tian, who was supposed to appear on the front of the Decree City, had returned. She led Fidel and his party into the palace smoothly, and dozens of subordinates followed her to the place where the old duke was, while Fidel approached the Duke of Yannis's dormitory on the grounds of "carrying a message from the head of the regiment on a rainy day".

But what I didn't expect was that the guards outside the dormitory said that Duke Yannis had been awakened just now, and the people sent by the old duke had taken him to the place where the old duke lived, and if there was something important to report, he could only go over there.

Fett suddenly had a bad premonition, because this incident was too coincidental, and as soon as he and Rainy Day were about to carry out the plan, Duke Yannis was taken away, and was taken to the place where the old Duke lived in the old man, could it be that the old Duke Yannis had already found out about all this?

At the same time, two people were standing in the old duke's room, and a corpse lying on the ground.

"You're a member of the Rebel Order!?" the old duke held a delicately crafted scepter in his wrinkled hand, and he stood in front of the corpse, staring at Zebuba in front of him.

Zebuba, who is a teacher at the Military Academy of the Peaceful Grave, gently kicked Newt, who was lying on the ground, and made sure that the other party was completely dead before looking at the old Duke of Yanis, "No, or rather, not at first." ”

"Hmph, that's good, I didn't expect that I would pick out someone like you to entrust me with a heavy task, I really misunderstood..."

"The old-eyed man still holds the lifeblood of the principality, and this principality will end sooner or later. ”

"So you're here to kill me, and it's not doing you any good!"

"It stands to reason that you should know that Duke Yannis is not your own son, and that weak boy will not inherit everything in the Duchy of Mageni after your death, and the Duchy will only be divided among powerful enemies, or fall into the hands of ambitious people like Count Endrida and Viscount Lawrence. Rather than this, let me see if Lord Lutz really has the ability to change this principality!"

The old duke sneered, "Childish, do you think that Duke Yannis is not my child, and I will poison him?

"Hmph, pretending to be strong even if you lose all the games..."

Zebuba's words already show his motives, perhaps he rebelled after the Duchy of Mageni was in a desperate situation, or perhaps he was rebelled by Rutz at an early age, but in any case, he had already come this far.

The old duke slammed the scepter into the ground, but this action with all his strength was just a manifestation of external strength and middle strength, "I see, you don't take me as an old man seriously..."

"I admire you very much, otherwise I wouldn't have summoned Duke Yannis, I guess he would be there soon..."

"What!"

"Old Duke, don't you really want to replace the son born to Madame Dalty and other wild men?" As soon as Zebuba's words fell, two of Zebuba's subordinates appeared at the door of the room with the little duke who had been falsely summoned, "As long as I kill you and leave the knife to the little duke, then the Duchy of Mageni will be completely destroyed from the inside." ”

The old duke had understood the conspiracy of Zebuba and the rebels. If both himself and the little duke died, it would only make a certain prestigious nobleman inherit the duchy logically, and the Duchy of Mageni might still have the power to resist. At the same time, it will also give the other two principalities the idea of supporting the Duchy of Magini and then controlling the Duchy. But if it is only his own death, the isolated little duke will become the object of envy of those nobles, who will not work for a boy who smells dry and loves to play with little milk dogs, they will only produce more infighting, so that the nobles of the Duchy of Magini, who have no cohesion in the first place, only want to protect themselves.

The rebels don't need to kill Duke Yannis at all, this incompetent and weak little duke is even more useless than a marionette, the reason why he can still sit in the duke's position is only because of the old duke, and once the old duke dies, the last log that supports the Duchy of Mageni will fall.

By the time it was raining and the two entered the old duke's room together, it was too late to see the old duke and Newt lying in a pool of blood.

Seeing the little duke drop the blood-stained knife on the ground and cry incessantly, Fed immediately asked Patrick and Vega to deal with the situation outside, while he himself examined the bodies of the old duke and Newt.

"We're a step too late," Rainy Sky picked up the knife that was thrown on the ground, the real murderer had already disappeared without a trace, "The person who killed the old duke will definitely spread the news throughout the principality, the little duke will not be able to support it alone, and the military spirit of the front-line soldiers will be shaken to the slightest." ”

"So what should we do?"

Rainy day sniffed at the old duke's side, and then sniffed at the Duke of Yannis, who could only cry non-stop, "I will take Duke Yannis and return to my subordinates, and the safety of Duke Yannis will be handed over to me in the future." As for you, if you want to continue to protect the country, then do it, you are just a mercenary anyway, and no one can take away your freedom. ”

Feder was silent for a moment, "What has become of the Mageni Duchy?"

"It will perish," Yutian took Duke Yannis's hand and wiped away tears and snot from the corner of his clothes, "Even if the rebels are defeated now, the iron hooves of the East Oguna Empire and the Kosai Kingdom will not stop, and I can only protect Duke Yannis first." If the other nobles still had a little conscience, maybe the Duchy of Magini would not have been divided so quickly. ”

Fett glanced at the bodies of Newt and the old duke, and Vittorio had let the Duke of Yannis that he had protected unharmed, but the boy who was only fourteen years old would never be truly safe.
