Duke looked at Prince Edward from a distance, completely different from the Prince of Andorra's feeling of being a rich man and chubby, Prince Edward was tall and sat on a horse with a very tall waist. And unlike the fair skin of ordinary Caucasians, Prince Edward has a slight sun-tanned bronz, which adds a lot of masculinity.

It can also be seen from this that Prince Edward is definitely not the kind of prince who sits in the castle and is pampered, and only when he often leads the army to go out to fight, will he have this strong sense of manhood.

"Big brother!"

When Princess Gina saw Prince Edward, she shouted to him happily, and then jumped off her horse and ran over.

Unlike the Prince of Andorra's hypocritical and polite smile when he saw Jina, Prince Edward also dismounted as soon as possible, hugged his sister, and then took her hand and said: "Jina, are you okay, after I received your message, I immediately led the Royal Knights to rush over, and I was very worried that there would be turmoil in the barracks." ”

Hearing Prince Edward's words, a warmth welled up in Gina's heart, she knew that her eldest brother was stationed on the border against the Milan Empire, and the road was far away. But because of his own request for help, he worked tirelessly to personally lead the army to support, which is definitely not an easy thing for the prince as the commander-in-chief.

Looking at the hard work on the eldest brother's face, and the beard that had not even been shaved for several days, Ji Na said with red eyes: "Big brother, I'm fine, Lord Duke of Storm Castle, led the Storm Army to guard the barracks, and now everything is stable." ”

Hearing Ji Na's words, Prince Edward's face was a little surprised, and he took his eyes off Ji Na and looked at the Storm Army formation in the distance. The striking silver lion's head flag undoubtedly told the identity of this army.

Compared with ordinary nobles, Prince Edward had really heard of Duke's name, after all, at his level, he must have been in contact with some of the big lords of the empire. Moreover, Prince Edward is resident in the imperial capital, and as a future heir, he also has a certain understanding of the second and third generations of nobles in the imperial capital.

Naturally, Duke had a bad reputation before, and Prince Edward had also heard of it. Prince Edward was deeply skeptical that such a well-known straw bale in the imperial capital, the shame of the Otto family, could build such a well-equipped army in a dangerous place like Storm Castle.

It's just that now the facts are in front of him, and the storm army is obviously superior to the army of ordinary small lords in terms of equipment and current formation discipline, and Prince Edward has to believe it.

Now that it was certain that Princess Gina was fine, Prince Edward ordered the royal knights to put away the battle queue. After Duke saw this scene in the distance, he naturally asked the Storm Army to be released from combat readiness, although the imperial power in this era was not strong, or it was not strong enough to be supreme.

But Prince Edward and Jina are still essentially different, first of all, the difference between male and female identity, even if the female identity of this world is much improved compared with ancient China in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it is still not comparable with modern equality between men and women, and the identity of the princess is inherently not as noble as His Royal Highness.

Another point is naturally strength, Prince Edward, as the eldest son of the empire, has had his own army since he was a teenager, and then formed the prince's army. Unlike the Prince of Andorra, Edward was almost nominally a crown prince, trained as a future heir, and he could call on the royal army, in a sense the Emperor's spokesman outside.

Faced with this huge gap in identity and strength, Duke can't pretend to be forced even if he wants to, after all, if he doesn't do it, he can't die, this is a powerful character who can really kill the Storm Army.

It was at this time that another sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and Count Bute also felt a cavalry approaching, and led the Maasai cavalry to prepare to meet the enemy. When he saw the royal emblem and Prince Edward, he immediately ordered him to stay in place. Unlike the arrogant attitude of Princess Gina, he made a knightly salute to Prince Edward from a distance.

Seeing that even the Lord of Marseille had been dispatched, Prince Edward did not continue to talk to Gina, and after ordering the Royal Knights to stay in place, he led the guards in the direction of the barracks.

Duke looked at Prince Edward, who was walking towards him, and reluctantly dismounted, which is also the official etiquette for meeting the prince, not to mention that this is almost a "quasi-prince". Lord Bute also rode over alone, standing beside Duke, and bowed to Prince Edward together, completely different from the previous attitude towards Princess Gina.

Seeing this, Prince Edward also jumped off his horse, smiled at the two of them and said, "Don't be too polite, the princess is here thanks to the help of the two lords." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is gracious, it is an honor for the city of Marseille to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess and the royal family. ”

Earl Bute replied first, and the meaning of sycophants in his words was simply overflowing.

After hearing this, Duke's heart was simply full of disdain, if it weren't for your guy's withholding supplies, the chaos would not have happened, at least Princess Ji Na would not be in danger.

Of course, the current Duke is not an old fritter in officialdom, and naturally he is not the stunned young man he was at the beginning, and he will not expose this kind of thing in person, so he can only cooperate perfunctorily: "Count Bute is right, this is what our vassals should do." ”

Hearing Bout and Duke's answer, Prince Edward just nodded and smiled, it was originally polite, and if it continued, it would be a mutual praise. So he set his eyes on Duke and said to him: "This is Viscount Duke, when you were in the imperial capital, you were still young and frivolous. Unexpectedly, less than a year after taking office in the territory, he had already created such a sophisticated storm army, and he was indeed worthy of being the son of Duke Otto. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince has won the prize. Duke replied politely.

However, Count Bute, who was standing next to him, was very surprised at the moment, he had seen the silver lion head banner before, and he had been thinking about which territory family the Storm Army was the symbol, and he had never heard of this name. I didn't expect this guy next to me to be the son of Duke Otto, no wonder the equipment is so sophisticated.

"Alright, let's all stop standing here, let's go into the camp and talk together, so that the soldiers can also disband and rest. ”

After Prince Edward said this, he walked in the direction of the barracks tent under the leadership of Jina. Duke noticed at this time that whether it was the Storm Army, the Marseille Army, or even the commander of the Legion Fedor, when they saw Prince Edward, their faces showed a look of admiration, and it seemed that the prestige of His Royal Highness in the army was not low.
