When Duke heard Fedor's words, the expression on his face became a little solemn, because what Fedor said was not a minor problem, but a very serious change.

You must know that the reason why the Ice Demons were so few in number before, and they were so cautious in attacking Storm Castle, was because they were likely to gain more than they would lose when attacking. After all, the Ice Demon could only be a baby under the age of one before to be able to transform into their own kind, and the number of babies in Storm Castle was not very large, if it was too killing or forcibly attacking to cause the French Empire to take action with the Holy See, knowing that he had suffered too much damage, then this attack would become meaningless!

That's why, with the Ice Demon so strong, Storm Castle has been able to survive to this day. Because the Ice Demon is a sapient being, they also understand the shortcomings of fishing with all their might, and once they kill all the Storm Castle, then no one will provide him with a baby.

Behind the Storm Castle is Alpine City, but compared to the fortifications of Storm Fort, Alpine City is undoubtedly much stronger, and the strength of the army plus the Bright Army has increased several times.

But now the result may be completely different, if they switch to children under the age of ten, then it means that the source of the Ice Demon has multiplied tenfold. And if these ten times eventually become ice demons, it can be said that the number of ice demons will no longer be a fatal problem in the future, and the pressure on Storm Castle will also increase tenfold.

This is brutal for Stormfort, and the current Stormtroopers are still not in an advantageous position despite the same numbers. After all, as time goes undue, the Ice Demons will slowly adapt to the musket and storm battle array. And the biggest advantage of the Ice Demon is their super physical fitness, so they don't need to form the same formation as the humans in this world.

The skirmish line is the best defense against hot weapons, and it just so happens that it can be controlled by the ice demon by mistake. Unless Duke transforms a more powerful firearm, it is almost impossible to rely on the current range of 100 meters, the rate of fire is also slow, and the accuracy depends on fate.

"Fei Duo, this matter is very serious, you have to pay close attention to the number of ice demons and their future movements. There is also a way to contact the other merchants in the Storm Market to see where the Ice Devil's children are being transported in, after all, it is not winter now, and it is not the time for the Ice Demon to attack on a large scale, they cannot have such a large source of children. ”

"I understand, my lord, and I'll do my best to investigate this matter. ”

Fei Duo also sensed the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded heavily and agreed.

In addition to inspecting the Storm Wall, Duke also focused on inquiring about the current capture of the Horned Warhorse. When Duke left, the Storm Army managed to use the War Sheep Cavalry to besiege a herd of horses, obtained the mothers and breeding horses of dozens of horned war horses, and finally bred proudly.

But in terms of this number, it is still far from enough to build a Warcraft War Horse Cavalry, and the Horned War Horse is not a good Warcraft horse breed seriously, compared with the Holy See's Bright War Horse, let alone compared to the unicorn, which is relatively ranked in the upper echelons of Warcraft.

The griffin ridden by Cardinal Leonard of the Diocese of France was still fresh in Duke's memory, it was simply the breath of the king of Warcraft, and after landing down, almost all the war horses held their breath and stayed in place, not daring to offend and provoke this griffin. Therefore, Duke has always hoped that Storm Castle can have such a powerful Warcraft mount, so that he can resist the most powerful Knights of the Holy See in the future.

I learned from Fei Duo that the Storm Army has been trying to find a way to capture Warcraft, but the success rate is still relatively low, but they have successively captured hundreds of horned war horses and a few relatively precious Blizzard Giant Bears.

However, humans are not naturally friendly to Blizzard Giant Bears, and the best tame companions are orcs, but the problem is that there are no orcs in Storm Castle either, and orcs are also the public enemies of humans in the entire continent. But the dwarves can also barely tame and raise Blizzard bears, but it takes a lot longer.

Compared with the horned war horse, the Blizzard giant bear is a real monster, they are almost fifty percent larger than the average brown bear, both fangs and teeth are much sharper, and they also have roaring skills, which can directly make humans and war horses feel an inexplicable mental fear, causing confusion in the enemy team or formation.

This is a very precious Warcraft mount, and it just so happened that Storm Castle captured a mother bear and two cubs, and it cost the lives of two dwarven warriors. Now these Blizzard Bears are all kept in Dwarf City, ready to be sent to the battlefield at a critical moment.

In addition to these, the total number of war horses in the Storm Horse Farm has now exceeded three thousand, and if it is another year, the number of war horses will be able to double, and there will be hundreds of horned demon beast war horses, whether they are endurance or explosive, they will exceed the current war horses by thirty to one hundred percent.

At that time, Storm Castle will be directly arranged into horses or war horses according to the characteristics and advantages of these horses, which will improve the logistics and combat effectiveness of the Storm Army to a very obvious level.

However, now the war horse has relieved some of the pressure in a sense with Duke's previous transaction with the barbarians. But the problem of cavalry began to come to the fore again, that is, there were not enough knights in Stormfort.

You must know that war horses in this world have always been relatively precious creatures, and most of the people who own war horses are called knights, that is, the aristocratic class of this world. Even if Storm Castle itself is a poor and remote place, the previous Frontier Knights have been almost consumed in the process of so many battles and sentry patrols, even if Duke has always been interested in rebuilding the Storm Troopers, and even in a sense, he has always recruited some riders to join the ranks of recruits to lay the foundation for the future cavalry regiment, but the number of people in this area is still very weak.

According to the current statistics of the Storm Army, among the more than 10,000 human soldiers in the entire Storm Army, the number of people who have experience in riding is less than 500, even if you add the few remaining cavalry regiment personnel, you can make up 500 people. The bottom line for the number of a main regiment is 1,500 people, which is currently one-third of the number.

So now that Storm Horse Farm, the riding class that has been opened, select some talented and intelligent teenagers from Storm Castle, let some knights who have retired from the previous injury as instructors, and train their knights, Duke's first goal is to gather a cavalry regiment.
