"Alan, I see, where is the barbarian great shaman, I will go to see him in person. ”

Duke didn't hesitate much, and directly made the decision to meet the barbarian great shaman, because from the day he decided to let the Storm Army expedition appear, he knew that his strength would gradually be exposed to the world, so he had to make the Storm Army strong as soon as possible, so that others would not dare to fight the idea of Storm Castle.

"No way!"

Alan directly objected, and then continued: "Lord Lord, although I know some high-ranking barbarian clans, we only had an exchange of interests before, and there was no basis for trust. The barbarian great shaman is afraid that our storm army will detain people, and we will also worry about satisfying the siege of your lord after we also enter the grassland. So it's a very risky move, and I think it's better for me to continue to negotiate with them instead of you. ”

At the same time, Storm Guardian Officer Dole, who was standing beside Duke, also spoke: "Lord Lord, our Storm Troopers only have a few dozen horses, and most of them have already dispersed to explore the surrounding terrain, and if you rely on the Storm Infantry alone, you will not be able to provide support at the first time, so I agree with Captain Allen's opinion and do not recommend that you go directly to negotiate." ”

Hearing the persuasion of the two of them, Duke showed a smile on his face at this time, looked at Alan and said, "If they are willing to only talk to you, they won't let you come back and tell me." ”

Sure enough, after hearing Duke's words, Alan didn't speak, and held back for a long time before replying: "Although they said so, I think that if we continue to talk, we may change their minds." ”

"We don't have that much time to wait for them to change their minds, it's been more than a month since the Stormtroopers left Stormfort, and it will be at least a month if they are to return. Storm Castle isn't very strong right now, and there are a lot of forces that are starting to make up their minds, so we have to hurry!"

After saying this, Duke ordered directly to Dole beside him, "Gather the storm guards and prepare to go!"

"Lord Lord......"

Eren still wanted to persuade him at this time, because he brought this satisfying great shaman here, and if there was any accident, Alan would be to blame! This is not to say that Eren is afraid of taking responsibility, but he knows what Duke means to the Storm Army and Storm Castle, and if Duke has any accident, he may kill hundreds of thousands of people!

"Lead the way, it's an order!"

Duke didn't talk nonsense to Alan, but gave the order very seriously. Seeing Duke like this, Alan didn't dare to say anything, you must know that although Duke did not have such strict and cruel ruling methods in Storm Castle, he had absolute authority, which no Storm Army subordinates dared to shake easily, even Allen.

Things had come to this point, and Dole had gathered all the Storm Guards, as well as the few dozen Storm Troopers left. The Storm Guardian will follow Duke to the Barbarian camp, while the Storm Troopers will hover around the perimeter and rush to the rescue if something happens.

There is also Allen, who has also gathered the soldiers of the first regiment of the Storm Army, ready for support in case of the unexpected. But the first regiment of the Storm Army had no way to get close, after all, if they really led the army over, then this time the deal could not be discussed, and the barbarians thought that the Storm Army was taking advantage of this opportunity to attack them.

For Allen's move to assemble the first regiment of the Storm Army, Duke directly stopped it, the reason is very simple, if there is really any accident, the team of dozens of people of the Storm Knights can still rely on the speed of war horses to quickly rush over to support, the first regiment of the Storm Army are all heavy infantry, and the positional battle is okay, and it is unrealistic to want to run on the grassland with dozens of kilograms of weapons and armor to support.

Even if they arrived, it is estimated that Duke himself would be cold. So this kind of meaningless thing, Duke won't let the Storm Army do. If Duke really wants to shoot like that, then he just doesn't have to go there.

Everything was ready, Duke set off with a team of 100 people of the Storm Guard, and dozens of Storm Troopers surrounded the Duke Guard, observing the surrounding situation and route, and preparing to escape quickly in case of accidents.

On the other hand, in order to show their ease, the barbarians also placed the meeting place less than an hour away from the fortress of Alakou. Duke could see from a distance the huge tent on a hillside, unlike the sackcloth tent of the Human Empire, the barbarian tent still had a lot of animal fur on it, so that it was warmer on the cold grassland.

Duke saw the barbarian tent, and the condescending barbarians naturally saw Duke's storm guards, and with a deep but loud horn sounded, Duke saw a dense barbarian cavalry appear above the small hill.

Seeing this posture, Allen directly reined in his war horse and shouted at the Storm Guardians: "The whole army is ready for battle!"

Almost instantly, the Storm Guardians propped up their one-handed shields, almost three layers inside, and three layers outside to keep Duke firmly in the center.

Duke was still very satisfied with the emergency response of the Storm Guard, which was worthy of being a specially formed escort team, which broke away from the army's battle formation attack mode and focused more on protecting the key personnel.

The barbarian soldiers did not attack, but looked at Duke's storm army so condescendingly, and after looking at each other for nearly a minute, they saw that the center of the barbarian cavalry parted a road, and an old man wearing a robe and a deer antler felt hat appeared in front of Duke.

His face was already full of wrinkles, but his body looked very tough. The old man looked at Duke condescendingly, and shouted in a loud voice, "On behalf of the Barbarian Khanate, I welcome the arrival of Lord Duke of Stormcastle!"

The barbarians are also called khanates? Duke was also stunned when he heard this familiar title, it seems that this world is not only common to the earth in the Middle Ages, but also the northern nomads, and Duke really did not think of satisfying this title.

"I'm Lord Duke of Stormcastle, and I'm glad to meet the Grand Shaman. ”

Duke also replied politely, and after hearing Duke's reply, the barbarian great shaman made a gesture of please, and then the circle of barbarian cavalry beside him also quickly retreated to both sides, opening a way for Duke.

Duke looked at the posture in front of him, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seems that the barbarians are not the upright in the description, at least they will use the move of dismounting to deter themselves, it seems that this great shaman is also a human spirit!
