Chapter 386: The Punishment of a Traitor
readx;
After a moment of silence, the loud cheers of the soldiers dispersed like a tidal wave into the distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoDuke Yannis fell out of his chair before he could stand still, and fell on the dirt. I don't know if it's because of Viscount Jados's "executioner" request, or because of the wave after wave of shouts that made Yannis so out of shape.
Fidel's ears were drowned out by the shouts of the soldiers, and he could gradually hear the name of Duke Yannis from the agitated voices, and finally all the soldiers' voices converged into one person's name.
"Yannis!Yannis!Yannis!"
This is a name used by two generations of rulers of the Duchy of Mageni, so some nobles have a slight illusion at a certain moment - the young Duke of Yannis has never shown the ability and courage that the supreme ruler of a country should show, so the soldiers who shouted the name of the Duke of Yannis only shouted it in a moment of excitement, not from the heart.
Jados didn't let the shouts of the rising tide stop, he half-crouched down and looked at Robin's side face like a cat catching a mouse, "See, this is the end of your betrayal of the country, and soon you will be executed by the Duke's own hands, and make the last contribution to the country." With that, he turned and walked off the execution table, and the two indignant nobles could only accept the decision, after all, it was the most suitable choice for the Duke of Yannis to do it himself.
Lukka and Noor stood beside Fidel, "Captain, shall we do what the viscount says?"
"So far, it's for the best. Fidel stepped down as well, and Saresa and Vittorio walked over with him.
"Commander, Jados he..."
"I've done my job, now all I have to do is set my sights on the Imperial Army. ”
Feld's last sentence was for Saresa, after all, each is his own master, and what Saresa said in the camp just now has made Fede realize that bringing the other party back is not necessarily the right choice.
The Wasteland Python pushed his helmet, "It looks like you're going to perform a very solemn ritual to have a weak imp kill a traitor with his own hands. ”
"Although you can be granted asylum here as an Imperial diplomatic envoy, I advise you not to speak disrespectfully," Vittorio warned in rare words, especially in front of a female general who was a head taller than him, "and you came alone, and you should have thought that you would become a hostage for us to negotiate." ”
Saresa bent down slightly, leaning her face back towards Vittorio, "Little man, you're quite guts." ”
Vittorio straightened his back, "Aren't you the same? I'm not a small man, my name is Vittorio, I'm the deputy superintendent of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and I'm the son of the land." ”
Saresa glanced at Fidel, "Your subordinates are really interesting, just like the girl who has always been hostile to me," Saresa said as soon as Ayana dodged behind the tent and dodged away, "Fidel, I know you value contracts and promises, but I think you should think things through carefully." For you... With your mercenary group, we in the Oguna Empire will always welcome you, even if you have always been our enemy, but as long as I am alive, other problems will not be a problem. ”
"I was the one who killed Captain Carlos with my own hands, and the Imperial Prime Minister Horlot already hated me to the core. ”
"Although the Prime Minister is very capable, his life will eventually come to an end, and he, like other elderly nobles, will not represent the future of the empire, nor will he represent the future of the continent. Saresa felt that she had said enough, and she turned to Jados's men, asking the other party who had been watching her to prepare a place for her to sleep and eat. The Jados subordinate hadn't reacted yet, but he still knew what diplomatic etiquette should be.
The execution, carried out by the Duke of Yanis himself, was scheduled for the next morning, and the news soon spread through the three barracks. The old nobleman who had just arrived here was also in tears when he heard the news, and he shook the hand of Winoti, who had delivered the message, and kept thanking Fid for everything he had done for the Duchy of Magini. He said that he must see with his own eyes the traitor who killed the Earl of Camhen die under the sword of justice, in order to comfort the souls of those betrayed soldiers in heaven.
According to the circumstances, Fidel did gain great prestige by capturing the traitor alive from the enemy's hinterland. The soldiers didn't know that even the royals of the East Oguna Empire had been brought back, and most of them didn't know that there was such a plan before Fid set out. So Robin, who was tied to the execution table, was like a surprise that fell from the sky, which greatly boosted morale. Now, whether it is the old army of Count Camhen, or the newly assembled New Southern Army and the regular army of Dumu, the people of the Duchy of Mageni are waiting for a counterattack against the Empire of East Oguna, a complete counterattack.
In the evening, Fidel discussed the next military deployment with Levier and others. Jados believed that after Robin was executed, the Principality's army of nearly 80,000 men would be able to go straight to the front line, and with Saresa as a hostage, he implemented a strategy of both hard and soft. He once again proposed the "Swift Strike Plan", believing that the key cities should be attacked first, and at the same time, let them know the news of Robin's deposition, so as to deter those who had chosen to surrender to the Duchy of Magini.
Levier also agrees with using Saresa as a hostage, but he will also consider Saresa's possible suggestions and proposals, after all, the Kingdom of Kosai is not fully trustworthy. He said that when he has a bargaining chip, he should weigh all parties and find the best option for the Duchy of Mageni.
Vittorio, Selena, the two nobles who had lost the power to execute, and even Herman gave his opinion. It was as if everyone felt a sense of comfort and excitement that they had never felt before because of the greatly improved morale, everyone was speaking their minds, and everyone was thinking about how to play the good cards in their hands well.
As the biggest hero of this time, Feder didn't say much, he kept thinking about Duke Yannis's performance today - even if the boy who was not really the old duke's blood gained prestige, what could he bring to this desperate country in the end?
As Fed returned to his tent to sleep, Octavia's voice came from outside the tent.
"Captain Feide, I have something important to see. ”
"Please come in. ”
There were three people who came in with Octavia - Leon, Lazrov and Mary.
I saw Leon walking over quickly, pressed Field's shoulders, and said excitedly: "Field, we haven't seen each other for a long time! It's been a long time! I didn't expect to see each other for a while! So many things have happened in the Principality of Mageny! Fortunately, you have lived up to my expectations of you!"
Mary sarcastically said on the side: "Lord Leon, don't be so polite to this mercenary, he is just a mercenary guy, not a person worthy of trusting hope at all." ”
"How can you talk like that? Captain Fentry is a friend of Lord Leon and our savior, and I have always felt that Captain Fentry has a lot of differences from other mercenaries. Lazrov's eyes were shining, and the muscles in his arms were bulging, and he looked like he was exercising.
"Mr. Leon, how did you get out of prison?"
Leon then told Fidel that after he had been transferred by the Count of Camphen, diehards sent by the chiefs such as Mary and Lazrov had gone to the Count's domain. Camhen sent a lot of guards to watch over Leon, and Lazrov had no chance of rescuing Leon at all. It was not until the army led by the Count of Camhen was broken and he himself was killed in battle that the prison in Lyon became somewhat looser, and the Count of Camhen's domain was divided among his two sons, and chaos ensued.
Marie and Lazrov took advantage of the chaos caused by the political instability to rescue Leon, and after resting in the cave for a while, they heard about the appearance of the civilian mercenary group, and of course they could also learn about the movements of Lutz and Levier from the sources of the rebels. However, the reason why they came here had nothing to do with Octavia, because it was Octavia who told them a lot of things in the letters.
"I just did what I was supposed to do," Octavia folded her hands over her chest, "Now that Miss Maeve has died, the Leader is more trustworthy than the Newcomer. ”
"It's all fate..."Leon burst into tears, the hurried years left various marks on his face, "all this was arranged by the Heavenly Father... The faint king is dead, so is the stubborn old nobleman like the Count of Canham, and even the ambitious Endrida has become a prisoner... It seems that a new era is about to come to this land, and I don't know if I will ever have a chance to see that day coming..."
Fett looked at Leon, who was very embarrassed, and he suddenly recalled the day he first arrived in Dumu City, and now everything is wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion in his heart.
"I wonder what Mr. Leon has planned?"
Mary answered, "First of all, I have to ask my brother what his intentions are."
"Why do you say that?"
"He actually walked with Lutz and Livier again! I can't accept such a choice! I don't understand it at all! Those guys are the scourge of the rebels, and if it weren't for them, the leader of Lyon would have been able to lead the rebels to rise again!"
"Marie, no!" Leon waved his hand to shut up, "Whether it's Vittorio or Rivier, they're rare talents for the Rebels. ”
"Lord Leon..."
Leon looked back at Fidel, "Fidel, I've thought through a lot of things in prison. The country was torn apart, and the weak Duchy of Magini was coveted by countless foreign enemies, and the forces of tradition and conservatism alone could not change all this. So whether it's Levier, or Vittorio, or ... You mercenaries or not, you are the hope of this land. ”
Fed: "But I'm not from the Duchy of Magini. ”
"But I know you have a different heart," Leon grabbed Fed's shoulder again, with great force, "Greed is the worst enemy of this land, but you don't have that greed, that's what is most needed here." ”
