301 Dealing with the Sea Tribe
Hearing Gandalf's warning, Duke's face was also a little ugly, he was already in a state of anxiety now, how could he have time to pay attention to the investigation of the Holy See.
However, now that Castle Smai exists, and Cardinal Leonard has not yet retired, as long as it does not make big news such as the forbidden spell, there should be no problem in the entire French Empire.
So Duke wasn't very worried about Gandalf's reminder, this kind of thing that can be settled with money with connections is not a thing at all. And the most important thing in Stormcastle now is development!
He sat down on the steps with Gandalf and chatted a little, one to ease the tension after the big battle, and the other to restore Duke's strength. Although he was not directly involved in the battle, the safety of the entire Storm Castle was on him, and all arrangements needed to be ordered and determined by Duke. As long as there is a slight accident on his own, it is very likely that he will lead Storm Castle into the abyss from which he will never recover!
After hiding his weak side, Duke began to officially command the Storm Army in post-war work.
First of all, it is natural to do their best to rescue the current wounded, compared to the wounded who were injured by heavy weapons in the previous battle on the beach, this time the soldiers who were injured by dark magic are in much better condition. Because the Holy See's holy light magic can remove the negative magic from them.
Kasmai is also a legitimate bishop, and there were some priests in the Stormcastle Church before, so it was up to them to get rid of negative magic. It's just that there are less than a dozen priests who have defected to Storm Castle, and it will take a while to completely remove the dark magic erosion of all the wounded, so you can only start with the lightly wounded.
The second step is to mobilize all the citizens of Storm Castle to dig pits and cut wood, digging pits will naturally bury the corpses after this great battle, and prevent these corpses from spreading the plague after the summer heat**.
And Duke also demanded that it should not be simply buried, it must be buried deep away from the water source, and quicklime charcoal and other things should be added. If it weren't for the lack of manpower and the need for a lot of felling wood to make coffins, Duke would have really planned to cremate first and then bury them, so as to completely eliminate the possibility of plague.
In addition to these two steps, Duke thought of many, many more, but the importance could only be postponed. In addition, Duke organized the remaining cavalry of Storm Castle and still restored the previous patrol line, after all, although the Ice Demon retreated, they still had at least no less than six thousand in number, and this strength was still far superior to Storm Castle.
And this time, Hera also fell into a magical backlash, and Gandalf, because of his identity, released the forbidden spell almost like the future threatened to drop the nuclear bomb, and could only talk about it. It can be said that Storm Castle is already in a state of complete external strength and middle strength, if the Ice Demon really can't think of something to break the net, then they may not die, Storm Castle is finished.
Even Duke, in order to maintain the strong situation of Storm Castle, ordered the remaining storm cavalry and war sheep cavalry to approach the depths of the monster valley strongly, constantly putting pressure on them. Only in this way can the Ice Demons be convinced that Storm Castle still has the ability to fight them, and they will truly fear the Storm Army!
After arranging the affairs of the Storm Army, Duke did not have time to rest, and immediately went to the hydroelectric factory of Storm Castle. This time, the Storm Castle equipment has suffered a lot of losses, and there are at least thousands of sets of storm armor that need to be replaced, which is the biggest difference between plate armor and sheet armor.
But once the plate armor is damaged, there is basically no need to repair it except for returning to the furnace and rebuilding it. And Duke has always believed that soldiers are more important than equipment, and soldiers are more expensive than expensive, so no matter how tight the finances are, he will not cut corners on the equipment of the Storm Army and let these soldiers be used as cannon fodder.
Of course, in addition to the resumption of production of the hydroelectric plant, there is also a point of negotiation with the Wave tribe. Now that the situation in Stormcastle has eased, Duke is considering completely compatible, at least to make them learn to surrender completely. Like the coercion before this defensive battle, Duke will never allow it to happen again!
When I came to the hydroelectric factory, it was different from the scattered situation of the night before, it was a sea of people, and the entire Seine River was already full of sea tribes, and they all looked at the group of humans in front of them with a kind of vigilance and curiosity.
Fasqi in the hydroelectric factory, after hearing the report of the fish-man warriors, also led the royal commander Magna and the fish-man commander and other high-ranking generals of the Wave tribe to the door of the hydroelectric factory to welcome Duke's arrival. Because Duke can be here today, it means that they have repelled the attack of the ice demons, according to the report of the fish-man sentinels sent out by Fasqi last night, at least more than 10,000 ice demons and hellish creatures have attacked Storm Keep.
Therefore, Duke was able to hold Storm Castle overnight and repel the Ice Demon's attack was indeed a bit unexpected by Fasqi, and she even prepared for a time that after the Storm Castle was lost, the Wave Tribe directly occupied the water power factory, and then talked to the Ice Demon about the division of territory.
At the same time, it was precisely because of the strength shown by Storm Castle that Fasqi's heart was a lot less cautious, and it also made her respect Duke a lot. For example, last night she was waiting for Duke to come to the trade market to negotiate with her, and today she took the initiative to come out of the hydroelectric factory to welcome Duke's arrival.
Seeing the respectful actions of Fasqi and the Wave Tribe, Duke naturally understood why, strength is always the eternal truth of this world. Today, he was able to defeat the coalition of tens of thousands of ice demons and ghouls, which meant that he had the same strength to destroy the Wave tribe with 10,000 fish-man warriors.
"See Lord Lord!"
Fasqi led the generals of the Sea Clan, and they all respectfully saluted Duke with subordinate etiquette.
In the face of their respectful attitude, Duke didn't have the slightest effect, just waved his hand casually to show that he understood, and then strode towards the water factory.
His attitude was not only for Fasqi and them, but also for these onlookers. It is to make them understand that it is no longer the time for Fasqi to be their patriarch, and they must understand who is their real leader!
