Although Teucer is angry with the waste of the Sea Tribe, in this situation, he must rely on the Shark Tribe to solve the problem about Duke, even if he can't conquer the Storm Keep, as long as he can force Duke's Storm Army back.

In this way, he was able to get rid of his father's influence on Duke, and he became more and more important to him. At the same time, it can also make the Storm Army lose face, after all, Duke boasted about how strong Storm Castle was before, but now he has to return to help. If Duke were to force his way back, the resulting breach in the line of defense would trigger the Emperor's rebuke, and Duke would be in a dilemma.

So at this time, Teucer had already made up his mind, no matter how difficult it was to support weapons and equipment, the support for the Shark Tribe could not be stopped, and only in this way could he avoid further threats from Duke to himself.

Duke naturally didn't know what Baker and Teucer were thinking, but he knew that these two guys definitely wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight. Even if this kind of thing is changed to Duke himself, it is estimated that it will feel the same way.

Since they were all on horseback with the Storm Guards, the distance of a few kilometers from the Imperial Army's camp was only about ten minutes for Duke.

At this time, he happened to see the Second Legion of the Imperial Army advancing in the direction of the Imperial Capital, and all the soldiers of the Imperial Army cast curious glances at him. Because the arrival of five thousand heavily armed storm troops made them feel shocked, so they were curious about what the storm lord was like.

Duke was also a little surprised by the speed of the Second Legion of the Empire, it seemed that they had already prepared, otherwise even the finishing speed would not be so fast.

Think about it, this world is not like the later generations have such things as phone and video, once you leave home and go on an expedition, you are basically in a state of no news, and you naturally miss your hometown extraordinarily. The Second Legion of the Imperial Army had left for a little more than a year, and the Europeans in the Middle Ages did not have the endurance of the ancient Chinese army, so they naturally wanted to go home early, which is why Henry VII chose to let Duke garrison the northern border even though he knew that it might cause pressure on the defensive line, because he really had no choice.

When Duke approached the tent, he saw a banner with a large fleur-de-lis pattern, this flag was not the flag of the French Empire, because the flag of the French Empire was a white square with a red and blue triangle around the four corners, and then the white in the center of the flag, which described the name of the legion in the common script of the Europa continent.

For example, Duke had just seen the Second Legion of the Empire, and the name of the legion was written in the center of the flag, so that it could be easily identified in battle.

But the fleur-de-lis pattern is completely different, only members of the royal family can use it, but as far as Duke's previous investigation knows, the Imperial Army of the Northern Defense Line does not have royals in charge, but has the Marquis of Patton of the Imperial Guard in command. Could it be that he came over, and the Emperor of the French Empire was not at ease, so he sent a royal son to supervise the army?

With this suspicion in mind, Duke sped up the horse, and soon he saw a familiar figure.

Princess Gina is riding heroically on a tall horse at the moment, with Adams Knight Captain and Marquis Barton, as well as Marquis Stilwell, the commander of the First Legion of the Empire. Seriously speaking, Duke hadn't seen Princess Gina for more than half a year since the royal banquet was parted, and even when they were in a hurry, the two of them didn't have a chance to say a few more words to time.

As a result, I didn't expect that Duke would still be in this kind of place today, and unexpectedly saw Gina. The spring sun shines on Princess Jina's hair, with a golden flash, it may be that there is a girl next door who has just grown up, Princess Jina has a feeling of blonde beauty from the beginning.

It's not just Duke who feels this way, Gina looks at Duke as well, after going through so much, the impression of Duke straw bales and waste begins to slowly dissipate, especially when Duke is like a hero every time, appearing when he is in danger, so that Gina has an indescribable gratitude.

With the establishment of the Storm Army, Duke began to show more and more of his majesty as a lord, rather than the flamboyant appearance before, Gina felt that Duke's male charm was getting heavier and heavier, and even many times she couldn't help but think of the scene of Duke riding on a war horse, commanding thousands of troops.

Compared to Duke's ignorance of the Imperial Army's trust commander, Gina has long known that the person who changed the Second Legion of the Empire is Duke. At the beginning, she was also extremely surprised, although she knew that the Storm Army had been improving, but she did not expect that the speed of progress would be so exaggerated.

It wasn't until the Five Thousand Storm Army came to the Imperial Army camp that she believed that Duke had completely bid farewell to the original disciple who was planning to run away from the Imperial Capital at every turn, and instead became a powerful Storm Lord. So she was very much looking forward to this meeting, and Duke, who appeared in the lion armor, did not disappoint Princess Jina, and Duke was much more mature and stable than before.

The aesthetics of this era are not like the small fresh meat aesthetics of later generations, but a standard strong man aesthetics, and generally slightly older nobles even have beards. Duke now has that kind of beard on his face, which is not something he deliberately kept, but the long march of the past month, and the trouble of shaving every day, is why it is like this.

"Viscount Duke of Stormcastle, attend Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Duke jumped off his horse and walked in front of Gina, put his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed, making a standard gentleman's interest.

However, Duke lowered his head, but he couldn't help laughing out loud on his face, whether this was because of his funny etiquette, or because he was happy to see Jena, the answer was only known to Duke.

"Viscount Duke, welcome to the Imperial Army camp on the Northern Defense, and I hope you will be loyal to the French Empire. ”

"I will, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Duke naturally replied politely, and then raised his head to look at Princess Jina, and when the two looked at each other, they both saw a different emotion in each other's eyes.

But soon the two of them looked away, pretending that nothing had happened.

At the same time, the Marquis of Barton next to him also represented the Imperial Army and welcomed Duke's arrival. After all, Marquis Patton's mood was also good at this time, because the Storm Army was much better than he had imagined before, and he had thought that the pressure on the Guards and the First Army of the Empire had increased greatly, but he didn't expect that the Storm Army would have two thousand more people, not to mention the combat effectiveness, at least this equipment posture was not a "beggar" unit!
