Chapter 12 Pacing back and forth
readx;
Fide stood next to the map of the continent, looking at the Black Swamp, the capital of the Duchy of Magini. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt is rumored that the nine mercenary groups of the mercenary union are in charge of all parts of the mainland, except for the Republic of Marveil, including the newly developed Sunrise Plateau area, each place has a mercenary group of mercenary unions stationed. The exception to this is the Duchy of Magini, where there is no mercenary union, but it has been claimed that several leaders of the mercenary union have been seen here at the same time - perhaps the Holy Spirit mercenary group is hiding here, and the pillar priests will inadvertently appear in front of them.
The Potato Mercenary Group has been in the Duchy of Mageni for half a month, and during this time, neither the nobles of the Duchy have appeared, nor have there been any guys with enemies, as if the people here have never heard of the name of the Potato Mercenary Group. But the ubiquitous recruitment slogans reflect that the country is preparing for war.
The Duchy of Mageni had already been at war with the Kingdom of Cosai in the north the previous year, and at that time, with the incident of Jack the Green Ghost's sneak attack on the City of Honor, both the Duchy of Mageni and the Oguna Empire wanted to get a piece of the rear of the Winter Kingdom. However, I didn't expect that the Winter people in the north were extremely tenacious, not only did they let the Mageni Principality return in vain, but until now, they are still at war with the Oguna Empire. Soldiers are still dying every day on the battlefields of the two countries east of the Black Marsh, but the Oguna Empire has been able to pull back a fist from the civil war and go all out against the Kosai Kingdom.
Fide also saw this, so he chose the Duchy of Mageni between the Duchy of Mageni and the Duchy of No. The Duchy of Mageni is located in the center of the continent, bordering four countries. If it weren't for the natural barrier on the east side of this principality, it would have been divided and eaten long ago. Moreover, it maintained a good relationship with the two duchies, unlike the Duke of Oldington and the Duke of Webster, and most importantly, the Duchy of Mageni acquired most of the wealth of the Old Kingdom, and was particularly generous in paying the fees of the House of Mercenaries, and the Duchy of Mageni, which had sufficient financial resources, was always looking for opportunities to expand its territory.
This opportunity is also Field's opportunity. The Imperial invasion war in the east is not over yet, and the Duchy of Magini, which has an armistice with the Winter Kingdom, will definitely make a comeback. To the south, the Papal States, the Theoguna Empire, and even the Kingdom of Sallins are all overshadowed by war, and will re-engage in the vortex of strife at any time. The Duchy of Magini happens to be a whirlpool eye, where it can have the most options and will have the best options.
Fide did not know the ruler of the Duchy of Magini, and even his own subordinates did not know much about the Duchy. Everyone knows that the capital of the Duchy of Mageni is called the Black Swamp, because the city is connected to the outside world by only a few flat roads, and the rest of the city is covered with black swamps and mud. But that's also why the city is so impregnable, and if Fid had to choose, the best city on the mainland to become the capital would be this Black Swamp.
Now that he has chosen this place and knows the timing now, Fei De is still very distressed and confused. The main reason is that I haven't found a way to make myself stronger.
For oneself, becoming strong is always a matter of individual ability, not a group. When he was just starting out, Fidel was alone. Constantly polishing one's fighting skills, constantly trying to use different weapons, and learning different tactics and strategies have been placed in the first place in one's life. However, after having its own mercenary group, all of this changed dramatically.
Recalling that at the beginning, as Andre's subordinate, a team leader was able to ignore his so-called "companions". But now he can't do this, he is now the leader of a mercenary group, and after confirming that Andre will not be able to recover to a healthy state in the short term, the position of the head of the regiment is even more secure.
After experiencing the Battle of Doret, it became clear to Fed how powerless he was alone in the midst of hundreds of thousands of wars. But if you can strategize and be good at deploying troops, then even the strongest enemy can be defeated. This view coincides with Uncle Evan, who persuaded him to enter Mallot's military academy in the first place, but unfortunately now that this opportunity has been lost, it is impossible for him to go back to that military academy to study.
In addition to mastering strategy and tactics, the only way left is that Saint Golia, who can call the wind and rain and use magical power to fight large swaths of enemies.
Fei De knew that kind of thing was out of his reach, and the Moon Shield, a life weapon close to him, could not exert its power at all, which was the root cause of Fei De's confusion and distress.
Fei De knew that as long as his potato mercenary group had more time, he might also become one of the largest mercenary groups in the continent. But his command and command skills are impossible to control - in the pinch of Doret City, Fed still chooses a ten-man squad to intercept Saresa. This choice also reflects that Fidel still believes in the power of a few, rather than more partners. This, along with other things, made Fid feel his lack of dominance, including the incident of Marcus' departure. This incident was a big blow to Fidel's confidence, but there was no teacher in this kind of thing, and no one could teach Fidel what to do right, so he could only watch the experienced and powerful one-eyed captain leave the team.
If you can't be as good at using troops as Satnam or Stanley, then more of your subordinates will only hasten your destruction. Just like Andrea Alain and Bizluvies questioned, just like Alain finally took Andrei's position as the head of the regiment, he would also end up in the same fate. This is definitely the foreseeable future, and Fei De has begun to realize that his ability to fight alone does not determine how far the mercenary group can go all the time, and even a magician as strong as Goliath will be exhausted and suffer from the enemy one day.
Fei De picked up the life weapon Moon Shield, which was an ordinary wooden shield except for a few times when he suddenly gained special inductions. Russell had already urged himself in previous letters to fulfill his promise as soon as possible, and he had been out of his hometown for more than a year, and it was indeed necessary to make some important decisions and changes at this time. Otherwise, both your own individual ability and the strength of your team will stagnate.
At this time, Selena pushed the door directly, and Fei De immediately put down the moon shield, after all, the other party didn't know about the life weapon moon shield, and it must feel strange to see himself holding a shield and meditating.
"Commander, I have some things to discuss with you. ”
"Say it. ”
"It's about the future and direction of the Potato Mercenary Regiment," Selena's words lifted Fidel's spirits, "I think the regiment leader alone should have encountered some difficulties, if I may be able to help you, the regiment commander." Fed needed someone to talk to him about his future plans, but he wasn't used to asking for help from others.
