There were still lights coming from Fed's tent, Vittorio, Ayana, and Patrick were all there, and the list of ten people was written on a piece of paper. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"These ten are the Assassins sent by the nobles of the Winter Kingdom, and they have left the kingdom of Cosse and infiltrated the Duchy of Magini," Vittorio pointed to one of the names called "Jack", and King Adam's younger brother was also named Jack, "These names may be pseudonyms, and their real identities are most likely the servants of the powerful, who have been privately trained to be assassins who are not afraid of death." ”

"Shall we just hand over this list to Ludwig, who will trust us and be willing to listen to us." In addition to the names, Patrick also saw that the physical characteristics, ages, genders and other information of the ten people were recorded next to the names.

Vittorio nodded and shook his head, "Captain Fidel, how far do you think we need to help Ludwig?"

"To what extent?"

"That's right. I'll just put it bluntly, we could have killed Ludwig with their hands... But not now," Vittorio's eyes showed a rare murderous intent, "Ludwig's importance to the Winter Army is self-evident, and as long as he is dead, the Winter Army that invaded the Duchy of Magini will definitely retreat." We can even reclaim the northern cities except for Black Marsh with the cooperation of Count Camphen, and drive out the Winter Nations, who are also invaders. Vittorio said this, and Fid clearly understood what the other party meant. For Vittorio, who loved the land deeply, Ludwig was at best a very useful enemy, but the enemy was an enemy after all, and what Vittorio wanted to see was that the Duchy of Magini expelled all the invaders, wanted to revive, revive in his hands.

Fed hesitated for a moment before saying, "Now isn't the time to discuss this?"

"No, it's just right now," Vittorio denied Fidel's claim, "Ludwig himself will surely catch the assassins who tried to kill him, and maybe five of the ten have already been executed by Ludwig." And... And we don't know how determined the Imperial Army of East Oguna really is, and whether they will start to retreat back and turn to a defensive posture before the Winter Army attacks them. After all, when Ludwig mobilized troops to attack the Imperial Army, our plan was half completed, and we must not wait until Ludwig really completely defeated the Imperial Army and took half of the Duchy's territory into our hands before planning these things. ”

Vittorio's vision made Patrick and Feder feel ashamed, and the reason why Fetter took 30,000 mercenaries to stand still was because of Vittorio's strategy, but at this time Fetter had not set his sights on Ludwig, and he was still thinking about how to protect Ludwig's personal safety.

"Ludwig's life really hangs in the balance... It is necessary to ensure that he is not killed in exchange for his strength and trust, and to find a way to kill him at a critical moment so that the final victory can be achieved..."Patrick was attracted to Vittorio's plan, and he planned to read the military books written by the military scientists again before going to bed.

"Otherwise, Captain Patrick thinks my plan is really to give up half of the country? Ludwig would have to cooperate with us even if he was aware of it, and he would definitely have other plans, but we can't afford to wait, these assassins... We should take advantage of it. ”

Vittorio finally suggested that Fide choose three of them, and that Vittorio send someone to approach them, spy on them, and be ready to open "a door" to them at any time - "They have only one purpose, and that is to take Ludwig's life... We want to keep them under our control and give them a chance when the time is right. Vittorio's strategy is not unevil, and Fidel suddenly has a feeling of betraying Ludwig, after all, the other party is still an ally living in the same city, and the other party is indeed as agreed at the beginning, sending troops to attack the Imperial army led by Godara, but they did not expect that they would plan how to kill people with knives at this time.

A few days later, the Potato Mercenary Regiment also completed its replenishment, and 500 people were recruited from the Mercenary Guardian Regiment into the various squadrons of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, including Fenrir. Squadron Leader Toto, who had been staying in Dutim City, also came to Black Swamp City with his squadron of ballista trucks, and the twenty well-developed ballista trucks were placed on the carriages, covered with thick cloths, and no one knew how useful these expensive mechanical weapons could be on the battlefield.

Ludwig, on the other hand, traveled back and forth between the Black Swamp and the northern cities, and he did not return to the palace in the Black Swamp at night and live in the depths of the palace. The battle on the front line basically did not need to worry about the governor of the Kosai Kingdom, he only needed to make strategic deployments in the rear, and the Winter Army had already achieved the victory of the first contact.

"The Earl of Campham has moved his army to the east of the city of Fonta, and 50,000 regular troops are stationed behind the Southern Army, and the Imperial Army in front of the Southern Army is also showing signs of shrinking. It seems that Ludwig's troops have had an effect, and the Winter Army, which is detouring through the mountains, is attacking the easternmost land that originally belonged to the Duchy of Mageni, which must have been the place where the Imperial Army stored food supplies. ”

"The three mercenary groups that belong to the Mercenary Guild are the Widow Mercenary Group, the Guinea Pig Mercenary Group and the Beautiful Men Mercenary Group... No, it's a group of American mercenaries. They are stationed in a small city close to the front line, numbering more than ten thousand people, and their goals and intentions are not yet known. ”

After listening to the latest report, Fidel decided to let the 10,000 mercenaries leave Black Swamp City and move towards the clearing north of Black Marsh. The other captains all thought that this would be an effective way to prevent Ludwig, after all, the joint war between the Duchy and the Winter Kingdom was now going well, and the danger might no longer be on the eastern front, but on the side.

"Fidel, Nangus wrote me back," Ayana waited until all the captains had quit the council tent, "and guess what he said to us?"

Only then did Fidel recall that he had planned to cut off the supply lines of the Imperial Army, and wanted to use the power of the Rock Bandits. However, now Fei De is more concerned about the task that Russell gave him at the beginning, after all, the news of the death of the pillar priest has spread all over the continent, and this mysterious and evil priest is the most hated by religious people, and Russell hates the most.

"I can't guess. ”

He didn't say anything about Uncle Russell, probably because Uncle Russell was still taking Andre elsewhere and didn't return to the stronghold of the thieves. However, both Nangus and Uncle Feo said that they were doing something to the detriment of the Imperial Army, as they had been living on the border of three countries, and they did not want to see it become the territory of one country. ”

"yes... They're our old friends, and you wrote back telling them to be on their guard, I've heard that the Imperial General named Godara is very brutal, and if..."

"Don't worry, Nangus is heroic, Uncle Feo is resourceful, they will take care of themselves," Ayana could see that Fed was a little absent-minded, "Are you still worried about Miss Mayf's affairs?"

Feder was struck by Ayana's words, he was indeed disturbed by the latest news from the Southern Army, who was unable to command the army due to a sudden illness, and Viscount Lawrence, at the instigation of the other nobles, succeeded in seizing the command of Mayf, and began to unite with the other nobles to isolate the young noblewoman. These people accuse Maevie of being impulsive and inintelligent, and that the Southern Army should not be controlled by Madame Eli, who is hiding at home, and Maeve, who does not even have a husband.

"Those aristocrats are patriarchal, and Maev is blamed for not having a husband all along," Feder knew that Maev was sick and couldn't help herself, "she was weak, and it was only a matter of time before she was resisted by those nobles." ”

"So what can we do?"

Feder fell into a long silence, Mafu has both favor and affection for herself, as a noble beauty and aristocrat, she does not hesitate to put down her body and take the initiative to "ask" for marriage from Fed. If Feder shows favor to the other party a little, then Maev will definitely marry Feder immediately. However, Feder has always believed that feelings are a matter of two people, and there should not be too many other factors, so every hint of Maev was ignored by Fed.

"What can be done... Maybe it would be a good thing for Maev to no longer command the Southern Army, but she was still too young. ”

A wave of anger that came out of nowhere in Ayana's heart made her can't help but ask, "If we really win this battle to defend the Duchy of Mageni, does it mean the same to you who will control the power?"

"Of course it's different... If the Duke of Yannis, who has grown up, can take charge of the throne himself, and there are loyal and upright people such as Captain Rainy Sky and Miss Maeve to assist the Duke, it will be the greatest blessing to this land. ”

"Well, I think the same as you, people like Count Endrida and Viscount Lawrence..."

Fidel looked at Ayana with a sideways face, "You seem to have talked a lot and thought a lot today. ”

Ayana didn't look back at Fidel, she just took two steps away, "Actually, there is still a part of Nangus's reply to me, but I won't tell you. In short, Fed, you are no longer as simple as a mercenary captain, and any decision you make may affect the future of this country and those you care about. You can ignore my advice, but... But you have to think clearly. ”

As soon as Ayana said this, Feld became extremely curious about Nangus's words. He wanted to know what Nangus had said to Ayana to make the girl, who was so indifferent to the others, willing to say so much advice.

"Maybe our days of standing still are coming to an end," Feder looked at the Confederate Army on the map, as Fed's most important partner, Maeve was suffering on the front line, "I'll take a long look at it with the other captains to see when we can leave the former capital." ”
