109 Decisive killing

Before going to the banquet, Duke still did not forget the important thing, that is, he came to the Andorran border, not for the dinner and celebration, but to receive the displaced people.

There are now at least 100,000 homeless people in the entire outskirts of Andorra City, and Duke's order to the 1st Regiment of the Storm Army is to gather as many displaced people as possible while ensuring basic food, and prepare to take them to Stormcastle together when they evacuate.

After everything was ordered, Duke took Alan and Cassel and led a team of storm troopers to the royal city of Andorra for the so-called celebration dinner.

Looking at the walls of the Royal City of Andorra from afar, it looked very majestic, and to be honest, this was Duke's first visit to the Royal City of Andorra, and he was very curious about all this.

But as we got closer, the darkness beneath the splendor began to show, and the snow on the outskirts of the Royal City of Andorra was already filled with homeless people with makeshift tents.

In order to maintain order in Andorra la Vella and to prevent disturbances and epidemics from being brought about by the displaced people, the Prince of Andorra has ordered that no displaced people enter or leave Andorra la Vella, and even during the few days of the border encounter, the city gates were closed without even the most basic relief measures.

In this cold weather, one can imagine the life of the homeless people living under the city walls, and the rudimentary tents could not withstand the bitter cold of winter. Coupled with hunger due to food shortages, many people are freezing to death and starving to death every day. If it weren't for the cold weather, the epidemic was not easy to break out, otherwise these homeless people by the city wall would not have survived.

Cassel looked at the tragic situation in front of him and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the arrival of the lord, the valley behind our storm would be similar to this every winter, and many poor people would not be able to survive the bitter cold of winter. ”

Faced with this situation, Duke was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but he was powerless. Duke is not a savior and cannot save everyone, all he can do is for the Stormtroopers to lead as many outcasts back to Stormcastle as possible, and give a new home to those lucky enough to go to Stormcastle.

The well-equipped Storm Riders were still very oppressive, and the outcasts consciously stayed away from Duke and them. When they arrived at the city gates, the guards of Andorra City were very polite when they saw the Storm Knight and the silver lion banner.

Because the news of the Storm Army's repulsion of the Spartan Legion has reached Andorra City, coupled with Duke's status as the son of Duke Otto, ordinary soldiers no longer dare to have any contempt for the Storm Army and Duke, and some even have a hint of admiration, which is the benefit of showing strength.

But just as Duke was about to enter the city gate, he suddenly heard a rumor and a cry coming from the far end of the city wall, and he immediately reined in the horse's rope and looked towards the source of the cry.

This glance just saw what several men in tattered military uniforms were looking for in a tent, and there was even a man holding a young woman in his hand, with a ** smile on his face. Some of the homeless people next to them surrounded them with anger on their faces, but in the face of the weapons in their hands, no one dared to take a step forward.

The young woman was crying out in tears, and several civilians around her were also crying and trying to pull her back. But in the face of a few strong men, the family was no match at all, and nothing but shouting and pleading.

Seeing that Dukelema did not move, the soldiers defending the city naturally also saw this scene, and one of them said with a smile: "Lord Duke, these are defeated and retreated soldiers, it is estimated that this family borrowed their money or food, so it is a dispute caused by being asked." ”

"It's all said that the army is defeated, where did they get the money and food?" Duke asked coldly.

Faced with Duke's question, the soldiers defending the city showed an embarrassed smile on their faces, and they didn't know how to answer. Because the real reason is that with the defeat of the Eleventh Legion of the Empire and the lord's private army, many of the routs moved closer to the royal city of Andorra.

The 11th Army Corps, as a reserve, was not very disciplined in itself. It stands to reason that after the war is over, the rout should be gathered and reorganized again, but Princess Jina, a temporary commander, is now a bare-bones commander, and she has no strength to collect the rout for the time being. As long as the Prince of Andorra does not enter the royal city, nothing else is his business, and the rout is as fierce as a tiger, and begins to plague these displaced people stationed on the city wall, which is also a scene that often occurs in the feudal era.

"Cassel, you lead the Storm Knight military law to deal with these routs, and then send an additional team of storm soldiers to collect the routs, and those who disobey the order will be killed directly. ”

Duke's tone was cold, and the order was filled with incomparable killing intent, which made the soldiers defending the city gasp and dare not speak. After Cassel got the order, without saying a word, he led the storm cavalry to kill him, and several routs were directly cut to the ground with his sword in hand.

And Duke didn't take a few more looks, and led Alan alone and rode into Andorra City. Alan just looked at Duke's back, but a relieved smile appeared on his face, after getting along for a long time, Duke was not only the son of Duke Otto, his own lord, but Allen also had a nephew mentality towards Duke, watching him change day by day.

In that scene just now, Alan began to see decisiveness in Duke, which is something that must be learned to become a commander.

The war finally made Duke grow faster.

Entering Andorra la Vella, compared to the "hell" outside the city, it can be called "paradise", and even Duke has the feeling of returning to the modern city. The neat and spacious road paved with bluestone slabs, lined with bustling shops, and the citizens who came and went endlessly, did not feel the slightest breath of war.

Duke rode towards the castle on horseback, and the citizens around him took the initiative to avoid a road, and many of them stood still and saluted Duke. Because of the Storm Army's achievements and the identity of the Duke Otto family, many people admired it very much.

Looking at the movements of the citizens around him, this feeling of spotlight made Duke very useful, he was simply disgusted in Storm Castle before, and after a black cauldron was thrown over, no one side would wait to see Storm Castle, just waiting to fend for himself.

Now that the Spartan army is repelled, the name will be loud and sound, not to mention far, in this Andorran pro-kingdom, almost no one does not know the prestige of the storm army, and Duke, as the lord, has also become the object of worship, and Duke also has a sense of transformation from hell to heaven.

But before Duke could be triumphant, the crowd began to pour in the other direction, and even let out enthusiastic cheers.

Duke also looked in the direction of the crowd, and saw a lion-headed silver moon flag in the distance, and his eldest brother Duke was also riding on a war horse with a cold face, and these citizens were the ones who used to cheer him.

And compared to Baker's popularity, Duke is simply a third-rate star who meets the emperor's superstar. Originally, Duke was still very proud in his heart, and the Storm Army made a name and reputation, and this night he returned to the pre-liberation period.

"This guy has pretended to be all the force, so what am I pretending to be!"
