}}The '''Mercenary Fortress''' (傭兵砦, ''Youhei Toride'') is a location in [[Suikoden II]].

==Information==
This mercenary fortress was built with the assistance of [[Muse City]] following the [[Gate Rune War]]. [[Viktor]] served as the leader of the soldiers stationed there with [[Flik]] serving as his second-in-command. [[Anabelle]] supported its establishment in an attempt to deter the [[Highland Kingdom]] from invading.

Located in eastern [[Muse Principality]], south of [[Ryube Village]], the fortress is surrounded by forest to the east and west. The flag which waved proudly over the fortress was designed by Viktor. It was also the place where [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]] was first taken in after jumping from [[Tenzan Pass]]. Its soldiers were known for their skill and tenacity in battle.

Still, the fortress would fall early in the [[Dunan Unification War]] to the onslaught of the [[Highland Army]] under [[Luca Blight]]. Viktor was able to delay the fortress' occupation by setting it ablaze. It would be occupied by the [[New State Army]] late in the war after troops were moved there in order to divide the attention of the Highland Army.

In a sense, the officers of the Mercenary Fortress could be considered the forbearers to the New State Army.
