"What kind of gibberish is this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Do you want to wander forever?" Ayana tossed the letter on the table, "marrying her may give you a chance to become the head of the country." ”

Ayana looked at Fidel with a serious expression, and Fidel avoided the other party's serious gaze, and suddenly imagined in her mind that if she married Maev, the luckiest thing would be that when Maev and the other southern nobles established themselves as the kingdom, she would rule the land as the princess of Maev. However, this kind of image is not what Fed is after, and even if he were to change to another woman, Feder would not do it.

"We're not wandering, and if conditions allow, I'll let the Potato Mercenary Group stay in one place for a long time. Fidel looked back at Ayana, who had moved her face closer. This reaction made Ayana a little nervous, and Ayana, who had both eyes on Fidel's nose, immediately took a step back.

"So even if you help the Southern Army achieve great merit..."

"Our mercenary group is not strong enough, if I tell you one of my goals, it is to let the world know that our mercenary group is not weaker than the mercenary guild, and will not be subject to any guild organization. ”

Ayana didn't answer anything, she just suddenly put her face next to Fidel's face, her lips didn't move, she gently leaned against Fidel's face, touched it and immediately retracted her head. Fett was still stunned in his seat, and when he reacted, Ayana was already standing at the tent.

"Luka did the same thing to Captain Winoteki, I'm just curious!" Ayana turned and walked out of the tent, and Fei couldn't help but laugh secretly inside, because Ayana didn't know that her actions were kissing someone, and he didn't expect that his two subordinates were already secretly developing an emotional relationship beyond friendship.

The news of the complete extermination of the conservative wing of the rebel army spread throughout the Duchy of Magini, and the rebel troops who were able to organize a large-scale resistance force were destroyed, and this great news did not make the people of the Duchy of Magini happy for long, because the news of the defeat of the Southern Army on the battlefield followed.

It turned out that Viscount Lawrence and several nobles were eager for quick success, and in order to make a breakthrough, they led more than 12,000 troops to the flank and rear of the Imperial army that confronted them overnight, intending to launch a surprise attack by night. Unexpectedly, they crashed into the "arms" of another army of the Imperial Army, which was approaching the direction of the Southern Army, and the nearby barracks immediately sent troops to support and besiege the Southern Army, which was preparing for a night attack. The sneak attack force lost its way in the night melee, and only a few soldiers escaped alive, including the reckless Viscount Lawrence. The 12,000 well-trained and well-equipped men were an important part of the Southern Army, and Viscount Lawrence's arbitrariness deprived the Southern Army of its capital for confrontation, and under the orderly command of Mave and other nobles, the Southern Army immediately retreated some distance to the southwest before re-encamping. But at this time, in the eastern part of the Mageni Principality, there was no longer any force that could threaten the imperial army commander's direct advance, and the eastern nobles who defended the city alone also gave up resistance and lowered the banner of the Mageni Principality.

This terrible news also forced Fide and his men to renegotiate the plan they had previously decided, especially since the Imperial Army had already occupied more than a dozen towns of the eastern nobles, and the effect of cutting off the supply lines might not be as expected.

"The defeat of the Southern Army has greatly affected our plans, and it is almost autumn, and the idea that there would be a chance for the Imperial Army to starve without supply lines has come to naught, and they can now harvest the crops that are about to ripen. ”

"And without taking any risks, they can get the soldiers who surrendered to do it for them, and then put a knife on the neck of the family of these soldiers. ”

"After the eastern nobles surrender, half of the land of the Mageni Principality will fall into the hands of the invading army, if I am the commander of the East Oguna Empire, I can first find a way to discuss with the Kosai Kingdom how to divide up the land of the Mageni Principality, and even occupy a large amount of land in the east, waiting for the self-disintegration of the Mageni Principality..."

The captains' analysis was not wrong, and Fielder also realized that Viscount Lawrence's reckless sneak attack the day before yesterday had changed the situation dramatically. Originally, the Eastern Oguna Imperial Army, which was lone in the depths, did not dare to confront the Southern Army, but did not expect the Southern Army to "throw itself into the arms", and the Eastern nobles did not have the strength to resist, for their own survival, surrender was the most correct way.

Looking back at Black Swamp City, which lost its two dukes, although the regular army and the mercenary Patriotic Regiment temporarily repelled the surprise attack led by Ludwig himself, there are rumors that the regular army of the duchy and the mercenaries have irreconcilable contradictions, and there are many voices within the regular army. After the loss of the Duke and the Chief Mercenary Commander, these armies that still had the strength to resist showed signs of disintegration, and I am afraid that Ludwig only had to take a few steps away like a leopard after biting his prey, and wait for time to pass, and the prey would fall to the ground without any effort.

Feder was ready for Vittorio to leave Tower City today, and he was ready to select his subordinates to carry out the plan agreed with Maev, but now he is facing an even bigger dilemma...

What should I do? Although it is not yet time to abandon the Duchy of Magini, Mefu and the Southern Army, what can the mercenary group led by himself do? Is there any way to reverse the current situation? Fei De felt a little confused in the loud discussion of several captains, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure pressing on him.

Vittorio suddenly said in his immature voice, "We should choose one side and draw them against the other." ”

"Pick a side?" the other captains stopped discussing and looked at the short businessman.

"When doing business, there are also bottlenecks in development, and the same is true for the Kosai Kingdom and the Eastern Oguna Imperial Army, which are also experiencing a dilemma. ”

Lukka shrugged, "How is that possible? Both of them are invading very well, and they are about to swallow up the Duchy of Mageni." ”

"Indeed, the two countries and even the Duchy of Noo have wanted to carve up the Duchy of Mageni together from the beginning, but they both have their own ghosts, wanting to let the other party and the main force of the Duchy of Mageni collide, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman, especially the Winter Kingdom and the East Oguna Empire, which have been at war for two years, they will definitely not easily consume their own forces, and then let there be any loopholes in the confrontation front behind them. ”

"What do you mean... Should we find a way to work with one of them and let him go against the other?"

Vittorio closed his eyes slightly, and only opened them again after a while, "This is the best of the best, but this is the only way to save the Duchy of Magini right now, and the price of it is probably more than half of the land of the Duchy of Magini." ”

More than half of the land... Fide and the other captains were surprised, Vittorio, as a successful young businessman, must have understood the profits of buying and selling better than anyone else. It turned out to be the only way to "pay" for half of the country's "business"! And it was the last way, and if Vittorio was right, then the Duchy of Magini really had no other chance.

Vittorio then explained that the nobles of the West might soon hug each other and agree to throw themselves into the arms of the Duchy of Noo. For the Duke of Oldington, who also intended to divide the Duchy of Magini at the beginning, it can be said that he ate a quarter of the territory of the Duchy of Magini for nothing. And there are also voices of self-reliance within the Southern Army, coupled with the successive falls of the two northeastern sides, I am afraid that the Duchy of Mageni will eventually become a weaker country than the Papal States. Now I can only hold the idea of a strong man's broken arm in exchange for the opportunity to save my body, and it is just an opportunity.

Indeed, as Vittorio said, those who still have the hope of driving out the invading army are naïve idiots, and the Duchy of Magini can no longer preserve itself, and this land no longer belongs exclusively to the people of the Duchy of Magini, but it is worth considering how much land can be left.

"The commander of the Winter Army is a man named Ludwig, a man who is jealous of the nobles of the Kingdom of Cosai, and his achievements this time will affect his future, and how much army he can keep to follow him will also determine his future. Therefore, he will not easily go toe-to-toe with the regular army of the Duchy of Magini. ”

"What about the Imperial Army?"

"The Imperial Army is a much more cohesive unit, and none of their generals can control everything, and although they move quickly, they have to send the plan back to the Glencoe when faced with a major decision, waiting for the decision of those in power there. ”

Selena was the first to notice which side Vittorio was leaning towards, "Ludwig is the one we can woo!"

Vittorio nodded and replied, "Exactly." ”

All the captains fell into a deep contemplation again, and because of his contact with Ludwig, Fidel had a deeper understanding of Vittorio's words, and at the same time he was thinking back to what he had experienced with Ludwig.

Vittorio continued his analysis, believing that the Imperial Army of Eastern Oguna had accomplished what had been envisioned - to take a quarter of the land, and the largest quarter of the land adjacent to him. The land that can be obtained next will become a "bonus", if it is difficult to take away, then they will not have any regrets, after all, after defeating the Duchy of Mageni, the Kingdom of Cosai and the Western Oguna Empire are still in front of them, even if they are the most powerful on the mainland, the Eastern Oguna Empire will choose a conservative strategic approach.

On the other hand, the Winter Army was different, Ludwig's strategy seemed conservative, but the goal was ambitious. Not only did he want to take some of the land, but he also wanted to find an opportunity to attack the East Oguna Empire. If Ludwig now returns home with a quarter of the Duchy of Magini, it will only make the nobles of the Winter Kingdom do everything they can to drag down this young man on whom King Adam depended, but if Ludwig can build on greater merit, he will be able to have more power against those who are jealous of him.

With that, all the captains understood why the Winter Army was a choice for them.

"Although the analysis of the deputy superintendent makes sense... But who is in power in this principality now, will they take our advice, and how sure are we that we will get the results we want?"

"Yes, Duke Yannis will agree. ”
