325 Provoking each other
In the face of Baron Colin's domineering, Fei Duo replied without showing weakness: "A weapon is the life of a warrior, our Storm Army will never lay down its weapons, and this is Duke Otto's territory, Lord Duke's army has the right to hold weapons within the territory of Duke Otto, Maple Leaf City has no qualifications to interfere with the behavior of our Storm Army!"
After Fei Duo said this, the Storm Army soldiers in the car formation looked at the Maple Leaf Knight with a playful smile. Although it was the members of the Second Regiment of the Storm Army who came this time, after experiencing the original battle between the counterinsurgency in Marseille City and the Ice Demon in Storm Castle, these soldiers were already veterans who had experienced the big war and seen blood, so they didn't pay attention to these threats at all.
Even some of the more flamboyant Storm Army soldiers were banging on their shields at this time, making a noisy metal crashing sound. They are provoking the Maple Leaf Knights in the open, and if they have the ability, they will come and check on themselves, and the Storm Army is not afraid of any enemy.
Of course, this provocative behavior was quickly stopped by Fei Duo, after all, the Storm Army is now on someone else's chassis, if it really takes the initiative to find trouble and fight, there is no ability to support Storm Castle at such a distance. Taking a step back, even if it is closer, the pressure on Storm Castle is very high now, and it is impossible to maintain an expeditionary war, it is enough to properly show your attitude and strength, and it will be counterproductive to be too provocative.
Baron Colin saw the provocative actions of the Storm Army, his face could be said to be green, within the territory of the Duchy of Berry, as the second son of the Duke, the Duke of Tork had to give face in almost every aspect, and it was almost impossible to face such a provocative move.
As a result, he didn't expect that this so-called storm army would be so rampant and arrogant, and within the sphere of influence of Maple Leaf City, they would dare to take the initiative to provoke their Maple Leaf Knights! If it weren't for seeing that they were well-equipped and the car formation had been arranged, and there were only a hundred and ten Maple Leaf Knights on his side, Baron Colin really wanted to give the other party a little color to see, so that they could understand whose territory this was!
Seeing such an arrogant action of the Storm Army, the Glenn Knight on the side was simply happy in his heart. You must know that as a territory adjacent to Maple Leaf City, he has always been unaccustomed to seeing Maple Leaf City, relying on the fact that he is the son of Duke Otto on weekdays, but now he has encountered the Storm Army under the command of the son of the same duke, this is simply a fairy fight, and he, a mortal, can watch the show.
"Your name is Fei Duo, right, I'll give you another chance to lay down your weapons in the territory of Maple Leaf City and be inspected, otherwise you will be punished by the Maple Leaf Army!"
Faced with Baron Colin's ultimatum, Fei Duo just replied expressionlessly: "Then I will tell you for the last time that this is not the territory of Maple Leaf City, and only Lord Duke is qualified to command the Storm Army." Therefore, we will not accept any inspection by the Maple Leaf Army, if you have the ability, you can send a large army from Maple Leaf City!"
After these words were uttered, almost all the talks between the two sides had collapsed, and the situation had entered a state of tension. Baron Colin was almost in a state where he couldn't get off the stage, in fact, seriously, he also knew that Maple City was not qualified to let the Storm Army be inspected, after all, Maple City was not completely independent of the Duchy of Berry, and Duke Otto still had the final say.
Even if it is to take a step back, even if Maple Leaf City is independent, but the Storm Army, as the leader of Duke, he is the son of Duke Otto, and he is a brother to Teucer, and he cannot legally ask to inspect the Storm Army.
It's just that Baron Colin, as Thork's henchman, is also full of hostility towards Storm Castle, and when he sees a storm army coming, he wants to give them a dismount and let them see the power of Maple Leaf City.
As a result, he didn't expect that although this storm army only had five hundred people, it would be so well-equipped, and the commander would be so tough. There was no sign of retreat or submission at all, and even directly formed a formation as if he wanted to fight.
This makes Colin a little difficult to ride the tiger, should he continue to put pressure on him or choose to retreat?
If you put pressure hard, then according to the current situation, there is only one way left: war. If the action army is to fight, this is not something that Baron Colin can decide, and it must be reported to Lord Tec.
You have to know how many small actions Teucer does to Duke behind his back, even the next killer. But in the territory of the Duchy of Berry, in front of Duke Otto, he maintained a good big brother image of being respectful to his brother and loving to his younger brother, and even for some vassals and military bosses who followed Duke Otto, he was also very modest, just to create his own good imagination, and he could bring in more supporters to fight against the strength of his eldest brother Baker.
If he just attacked his brother's Storm Army, there was no doubt that this matter would spread throughout the Duchy of Berry, and for whatever reason, it would have a great negative impact on Teucer's reputation. You must know that Teucer's hope of inheriting the duke's position is not very big in itself, all of this is maintained by his cautious and subtle step-by-step operation, if such a small thing exposes his true colors, resulting in the loss of the favor of those nobles and military bosses, it is definitely not worth the loss.
But if you admit it like this, then the previous provocative and arrogant words are simply a slap in the face. And now there is Count Fleck's private army present, if it is spread out, it will not be good for Lord Teucer's reputation, now Baron Colin regrets that he is cheap, why is he so arrogant and wants to dismount the storm army?
Just when Baron Colin was in a dilemma, the knight captain Glenn, who was standing on the side, spoke: "Captain Fedor, Baron Colin, both of you have to dissipate your anger, as the private army of the duke's son, they are all brother troops, there is no need to make a big move." Now that the Duke is under tremendous pressure on the northern defense line, I believe that you don't want to cause trouble to the Duke either, because it will not be beneficial for the army to delay the major affairs in the army at that time. ”
Glenn finally chose to be a peacemaker, and began to make peace, after all, now that the empire is in crisis, the northern defense line is clouded. As a knight with real professional ethics, he is not the kind of person who is not afraid of big things when he sees the excitement. At this point, it's almost over, and if it really starts, it won't be good for either side.
In the face of Glenn's peace, Fei Duo also went down the steps: "Glenn Knight is right, now that the imperial crisis is in crisis, we should share more worries about the Duke, this trip to the storm army just wants to help the refugees in the north, and has no other ideas, and will not stay too long, so Baron Colin can rest assured!"
