Fide stood next to the map of the continent, looking at the Black Swamp, the capital of the Duchy of Magini. It is rumored that the nine mercenary groups of the Mercenary Guild "manage" the mercenary affairs of various parts of the mainland, except for the Republic of Marvier, including the newly developed Sunrise Plateau area, each place has a mercenary group of mercenary guilds stationed there. The exception is the Duchy of Mageni, where there is no mercenary union, but some people have claimed to have seen several leaders of the mercenary union appear here at the same time - maybe the Holy Spirit mercenary group is hiding here, and the pillar priests will also appear in front of them inadvertently.

The Potato Mercenary Group has been in the Duchy of Mageni for half a month, and during this time, neither the aristocracy of the Duchy has appeared, nor has there been any hostile guys, 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. But 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, and the war is also extremely stalemate. On the battlefields of the two countries east of the Black Swamp, soldiers are still killed in battles every day, but the Oguna Empire has been able to pull back a fist from the civil war and go all out against the Kingdom of Kosai.

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 fact that this principality has a natural barrier to the rocky mountains to the east, it would have been divided and eaten up long ago. Moreover, it maintained a good relationship with both duchies, unlike the Duke of Oldington and the Duke Webster of the other two duchies, and most importantly, the Duchy of Magini acquired most of the wealth of the Old Kingdom, and those inheritances were even more than the gold coins in the treasury of the other two duchies. The House of Mercenaries is particularly generous in paying its fees, and the Duchy of Mageni, with its abundant financial resources, is always looking for opportunities to expand its territory.

This desire for war is also an opportunity for Fid and the other mercenaries. 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 Salins are shrouded in the shadow of war, and will re-enter the vortex of strife at any moment. 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 this is also the city's impregnable gold. The reason why no one dares to invade, if Fei De had to choose, the most suitable city on the mainland to become the capital is 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 the beginning of the self, becoming strong is always a strength of individual ability, not a group. When he was just starting out, Fidel was alone. Constantly polishing your fighting skills, constantly trying to use different weapons, learning different tactics and strategies has become the most important thing for you to do. However, after having its own mercenary group, all of this changed dramatically.

Thinking back to the beginning, as Andre's subordinate, as a squad leader, he 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.

It was only after the Battle of Doret that Fielder realized how powerless he was alone in a war of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. But if you can strategize and be good at deploying troops, then even the strongest enemy can be defeated. This point of view coincides with Uncle Evan, who persuaded him to enter the Mallotte Military Academy, but unfortunately now that this opportunity has been lost, it is impossible for him to abandon his subordinates and go back to study at that military academy.

In addition to mastering strategy and tactics, the only thing left is the ability of Saint Golia, who can call the wind and rain and use magical power to strike 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, it might become one of the largest mercenary groups in the continent. But his command and command skills are impossible to control - at the most critical juncture of the Battle of Doret City, Fed still chooses a team of ten people to intercept the wasteland python 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 and planning as Satnam or Stanley, then more of your subordinates will only hasten your destruction. Just as Andrei was questioned by Alain and Bisluves, just as Alain finally took away Andrei's position as the head of the regiment, he will also end up in the same fate. This is definitely the foreseeable future, and Phyde has begun to realize that the ability of a mercenary group to go it alone does not determine how far a mercenary group can go, and even a magician as strong as Goliath will be exhausted and suffer from the enemy one day.

"My father was also exhausted and underwhelmed, but it was because he was not strong enough, otherwise he would never have been defeated by those who opposed him. Feder whispered to himself.

With one hand, Fei De picked up the life weapon Moon Shield, which was an ordinary iron-inlaid 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 individual ability and the strength of the team will stagnate and be defeated by the crisis.

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. "Although Selena is no longer a knight, she is still dressed nobly and decently.

"Say it. ”

"It's about the future direction and general strategy of the potato mercenary group, I hope to be able to talk to the head of the group in detail," Selena's words lifted Feide's spirits, it seems that the other party has recovered from the pain of losing her fiancé, "I think the head of the group should have encountered some difficulties alone, maybe I can help you, head of the group." "Fei De needs someone to discuss his future plans with him, but he is not used to asking for help from others, and most of his subordinates are not good at thinking, will Selena, the former female knight captain, be the deputy who can help him?
