The grand welcome, prepared by Vittorio all night, was met with a satisfied nod from Count Endrida, and Duke Yanis, who was sitting in the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and ran happily towards Fidel. On the other hand, Vittorio, who stood behind Fidel, was only a few years older than the Duke of Janis, but he was much more mature than the supreme ruler of the Duchy of Magini.

"Captain Fed, we're finally meeting again!" Endrida was still wearing a yellow cloak, and behind him was a row of nobles, many of whom had defected to Dugi City from the western part of the Duchy, all of whom were looking forward to the camp of the Mercenary Guardians, and in the distance there was the Lord Herman who only had interests in his eyes.

"It's a long journey, the Earl and the Duke have worked hard," said the speaker, not Fidel, but the newly baronized Levier, "come here, we have prepared a feast in the barracks. ”

Duke Yannis walked up to Fidel and took Fidel's hand directly, "Captain Feide! Fortunately, you are still alive, and the future of the Duchy of Magini depends on you!"

When the group was far away, Vittorio leaned over, "Everything is ready, and Endrida can be arrested at the banquet." ”

"Didn't they really want to do anything to us first?"

"Judging from the previous reconnaissance and the current situation, it is indeed not," Vittorio had a dark eye, "The tens of thousands of troops led by Endrida have already camped on the outskirts of a city in the distance, if he really wants to do something unfavorable to you, the commander, he should not come here unsuspectingly." ”

Fidel couldn't believe that Count Endrida, who was very deep in the city and had always been very cautious, would not be left behind. From the very beginning of knowing Endrida, Feder felt that the count had a lot of tricks in his belly, and the other party's ultimate goal must be self-preservation, and Ludwig's proposal would be repeatedly considered by the other party. Thinking about it this way, Fidel himself and the Mercenary Patriotic Regiment should be Endrida's last obstacle, right?

Fidel shook his head, trying to sober himself up, and he walked with Levier to the banquet hall - Levier was overjoyed to hear that Fidel was planning to strike first, and he immediately stated his position, and he was willing to work with Fidel to remove the last obstacle.

By the time Fed entered the feast, some of the nobles who had appeared in the Mercenary Guardian Regiment were already chatting with the visiting nobles. Although this is a military camp in the wilderness, under Vittorio's arrangement, the banquet is quite decent. Duke Yannis sat in the master of the banquet hall, and Endrida sat to the left of Duke Yannis, and the vacant seat on the right was clearly reserved for Fidel.

"Commander, take the cup as a sign. Vittorio reminded Fide once again that the captains of the potato mercenary regiments, such as Patrick, Noor, and Luca, had already set up mercenaries around the barracks and banquet halls, ready to enter here at any time to capture the Count and the others.

Fed nodded and walked to his place, having made up his mind to remove the last obstacle to the Duchy of Mageni today, the Count who might threaten himself and the Potato Mercenary Regiment. Fide recalled what Vittorio had said to him this morning, and Vittorio said that as long as Endrida was temporarily controlled, it would be safer to choose to continue the war against the East Oguna Empire or to consider Ludwig's proposal. As long as you think of a good reason and don't leak the slightest rumor, then Maev will not suspect Feide. Now the first thing to do is to ensure Fidel's dominance in the Duchy of Magini, so it is inevitable to strike first.

Duke Yannis pulled Rafid's arm, "Captain Fidel, I immediately understood what the Duchy of Magini needed after seeing Commander Livel's suggestion!"

"yes..."

"Yes, the Duchy needs me to step up!" Duke Yannis was quite active, he had said goodbye to the way he had been, and he had become less cowardly.

Count Endrida also laughed a few times, "That's right, although Kanheng was defeated because of the light enemy, our country has not completely lost... I know that she has been running around, and as a father, I am very grateful... As long as the people of the Winter Kingdom do not backtrack, and we can work together to advance and retreat together, we will definitely be able to expel the invaders of the Empire. At this time, the other nobles were already seated, and Endrida's words combined with the confident expressions of the other nobles made Fidel feel ashamed for a moment - as long as he attacked Count Endrida at the banquet, the crime of stealing the country would inevitably fall on his head. Why didn't Count Endrida show his malice towards himself as he had anticipated?! If that was the case, he would have acted justifiably and without any scruples! Why was there no malice...

The shame spread throughout his body, and although Fidel had decided to control Endrida first, he felt very uncomfortable because he lacked enough "motivation".

Li Wei chimed in: "Of course! We will definitely work together!"

Feder suddenly remembered the rainy day that was gone, "Lord Earl, Captain Rainy Day..."

"She... Isn't it inconvenient for her to show up?" said Endrida, lowering her voice.

Yannis: "Earl, that woman..."

"It's okay, I'll just take care of it. ”

Vittorio was already standing at the door of the banquet hall, and he didn't let the cook prepare the luncheon at all, because the original plan was to throw the glass at this time and control all the nobles. But as if he had forgotten the time, Feder kept moving. Even the Duke of Yannis couldn't help but cry out that he was hungry, and Fide remembered his mission.

"Wow!"

The bronze wine glass fell to the ground, and the other nobles, who were completely unaware of the situation, were startled by the mercenaries who suddenly rushed into the banquet hall. As soon as Herman was about to lash out at the mercenaries, Luka's sword landed on the neck of the round-headed and round-headed knight, and he could only open his mouth wide and look helplessly at Endrida.

Fide had already stood up, and Duke Yannis hid in the arms of Count Endrida, who was regarded by Vittorio and Levier as the last obstacle to the duchy, staring at Fidel's back until Fide walked down the steps and stood in front of Yannis and Endrida.

"Lord Count, this plan is for you, and has nothing to do with Duke Yannes. ”

Count Endrida exhaled his anger through his nose while protecting the Duke with his hands, "Yes, as a mercenary, you really have no loyalty or honor to speak of...", he said as he pointed at Fidel with a slightly trembling finger, "Who reused you in the first place, who gave you the opportunity to climb up, and who gave you the position you have today! You want to rebel... It's a shame that the Duke and I have pinned all our hopes on you... You've done such a rebellious thing!"

Fidel guessed the other party's anger, but he didn't expect the other party to be so righteous - didn't Endrida also want to control all this, and wasn't he also the last obstacle for the other party?

"Lord Duke, I suspect that Count Endrida intends to steal the power of the Duchy of Magini, and he may do something bad to you, so..."

Duke Yannis shouted, "No, Lord Count is the most loyal!" The young Duke hugged Endrida tightly, and Endrida protected the Duke as if he were his own son.

"But..."

"Before, the Rainy Day Captain wanted to harm me! Fortunately, Lord Earl, he desperately protected me!"

"Captain Rainy Day, how could she do such a thing?"

"It's her, she wants to kill me! But she's already been executed, but luckily the Count is here! Are you going to betray me, Captain Field, and betray the Duchy of Mageni, which has always been loyal to you?"

Duke Yannis's voice was still very immature, but his final rhetorical question still made Fede stunned. Fed's suddenly becomes the same "traitor" as Rainy Day, but Fed doesn't believe that Rainy Day, a mercenary who would rather abandon everything to protect Duke Yannis, would do anything to hurt the Duke.

When Fidel and Endrida looked at each other, Feder suddenly understood what was going on. Nedrida apparently saw Rainy Day as an obstacle, and he made an excuse to put Rainy Sky to death before he came here. Without the mercenary who had only the Duke of Yannis in her heart, Endrida could do whatever she wanted.

But... But why didn't he do it to himself?

After all, Fed failed to figure this out, and because of this moment of hesitation, a brave nobleman drew his sword and attacked Fett.

Ayana threw a throwing knife out of her sleeve and stabbed it directly into the nobleman's neck! The nobleman didn't even have time to exhale a scream, and fell to Field's feet while covering his throat with his hand.

"Ahh

Endrida glared at Fidel as she comforted the young duke, "Fidel... You are a mercenary who is inferior to a pig and a dog! I want to marry you in vain! I didn't expect it... I should have listened to Herman's words a long time ago and struck first!!" When he heard Maevie's name, Fidel's skull seemed to be knocked on by a wooden block, "I've been cautious all my life, and I didn't expect that the only person who misread it was the person Mave fell in love with... Even if you can kill me today and take Duke Yannis hostage, the people of the Duchy of Mageni will not let you go! Maev will dig out your heart with a sword!!"

Lord Herman, who was standing in front of Luka, was already kneeling on the ground, and Fidel glanced back at Herman, whose face was more remorse than fear. At this moment, Feder realized that things were as they were: in fact, Endrida also thought about attacking him, but he missed Maev's feelings for him even more. Perhaps the cautious count thought about eradicating Fidel before Ludwig sent an envoy to Endrida, but all plans were affected by his daughter's love, and he finally had a glimmer of hope for Fidel.

That hope was dashed in that moment.

Looking at the howling appearance of the Duke of Yannis, the resentful and hateful eyes of Endrida, and the other desperate nobles, Fidel suddenly felt that he had done something wrong—the Duchy of Mageni might have been united by the combined efforts of these people, but now it was all in vain.

In fact, that hope was dashed when Ludwig's words made Fidel fear Endrida. The suspicion that bubbled up from the bottom of his heart made Fidel afraid of losing everything he had now, and perhaps his own jealousy and suspicion were exploited by Levier and Vittorio, but he was the one who made the final decision.

The last obstacle was also cleared, and under the successive blows of the Duchy of Mageny, someone finally held the highest thing, but this thing did not seem to be what he wanted in the first place.

"Locking up Endrida with the other nobles and taking care of the Duke, we need to immediately hold a military council to discuss countermeasures against the East Oguna Empire. ”
