After reading the small note written by Princess Gina, the corners of Duke's mouth only smiled slightly, and then put it aside.

Although this little girl's tone is still not very good, he also understands how rare it is for Ji Na to be able to fight for this place, you must know that as the great sword master of the martial arts academy, her strength is even more than that of ordinary great sword masters, and the selection of students is also very strict, unless it is a genius-level student like his eldest brother Baker, the average outstanding student has no chance to become a personal disciple.

Not to mention that Duke had been in the imperial capital for so many years before, as a scumbag who couldn't even get into the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, he almost became a shame for the Otto family, the imperial military god. can say that the great swordsman Moore accepts a "notorious" student like herself, and Ji Na has definitely paid a lot behind the scenes.

But Duke has no choice, Stormcastle is just getting on the right track, and he must take charge of it. And Duke also knows his own level, unless he has the talent to practice swords, his personal strength is limited after all, and only the powerful Storm Castle can truly protect himself, so he can only live up to Ji Na's kindness.

Just when Duke felt a trace of regret in his heart, Cassel's figure appeared at the door of the study, he walked in in a military uniform, and said to Duke with a solemn face: "Lord Lord, just now the patrol knight came to report, and a large number of ice demons appeared on the edge of the monster valley again, and I also saw the appearance of terrifying undead creatures. One of the knights was killed by black magic, and when he was brought back by his companions, his body was completely corroded and there was no way to cure him. ”

When Cassel said this, there was an irrepressible sadness in his tone, because with the death of the original defenders and the border knights who left later, the new members of the Storm Knights were only in their early hundreds, and every knight was an extremely precious combat power, and the Storm Knights could not afford any sacrifices.

Hearing Cassel's report, Duke's brow tightened, he thought that he had repelled the ice demon's tentative attack, and caused them so many casualties, that he should be able to survive this winter smoothly. Because in the history of Storm Castle, once the casualties exceed the ice demons, they will choose to continue to lurk, waiting for the next cold winter attack.

And historically, there have only been traces of necromancers for a few years, and this year not only necromancers have appeared, but now even the appearance of terrifying undead creatures is completely unreasonable.

"Tell the Storm Knight to shrink the patrol line to the vicinity of the castle to ensure the safety of the knights. At the same time, the patrol density is strengthened, and the ice demon cannot be given any chance. ”

"Obey your lordship, the Storm Knight will not give the evil creatures any chance!"

Cassel replied with a strong voice, and then withdrew from the study, convinced that under the lord's leadership, he would repel any attack!

"You're in big trouble, little Duke. ”

Almost as soon as Cassel left on his front foot, Hera's figure ghostly appeared in the study, still with her trademark charming smile on her face.

"When were you there?"

Faced with the sudden appearance of Hera, Duke subconsciously asked rhetorically, he didn't see when Hera came in.

Hearing Duke's rhetorical question, Hera just flicked her long brown hair, and then walked gracefully towards Duke with her long legs.

"Stealth is the most basic skill for a witch, otherwise we would easily be discovered by the Inquisitors of the Holy See. ”

"Well, what do you mean I'm in big trouble?"

Duke didn't pay much attention to how Hera got in, just as Gandalf was slowly embracing the power of science, and Duke was getting used to the magic of magic. Not to mention that Hera has always been elusive, and there are countless ways to get into her study with her abilities.

"I've seen the corpse of the Death Knight, and it's almost a skeleton. This level of corrosion is not something that ordinary necromancers can do, at least at the level of necromancers, which means that a powerful existence in the depths of the monster valley has appeared. ”

"Little Duke, Monster Valley is far from as simple as you know, and the Ice Demon is just one of them. Otherwise, do you think that only the attack of the Ice Demon and a small number of necromancers will make the Frangian Empire give up Storm Castle so decisively, this is just the beginning. When the real army of monsters begins to invade, Stormkeep's current power will be vulnerable. ”

"How do you know this?"

Duke replied in surprise, because in his memory, the Valley of Monsters was mainly Ice Demons. Plus a small number of necromancers. Moreover, in the history of Storm Castle, only these two main monsters are recorded. Even if Storm Fort was breached back then, it was only a difference in quantity, and it did not cause a qualitative change in the monsters.

As a result, hearing Hera say this, it almost predicted that the Monster Valley was far from being as simple as it seemed, and there were more and more powerful monsters in the depths. Now these monsters have also begun to march towards the edge of the valley, this is the real army of monsters, and it is also the key to making the Fran Empire determined to abandon Stormcastle.

"For nearly a thousand years, the Dark Witch Society has hidden many inaccessible and dangerous areas in order to avoid the pursuit of the Holy See, and the Valley of Monsters is one of them. In the archives of the Dark Witch Society, there is even a record of the existence of a legendary hell gate in the Valley of Monsters, but this is only a legend, and no one has verified it. But there are more powerful monsters in the depths of the Monster Valley, and it's a sure thing to have with the higher-level necromancers, so you can only hope that they won't choose to attack Stormkeep. ”

After saying this, Hera even walked in front of Duke and said in a tone of pity: "Little Duke, I didn't expect you to face such a powerful threat as soon as you showed your lordship talents, sister, I really can't bear it." ”

Hera's compassionate tone, as well as the cute look of the little girl, plus the thought of Hera's age, made Duke feel that the chicken pimple was rising, and he still couldn't adapt to the super long life of the world's powerhouse.

"Come on, the worst outcome is nothing more than the capture of Stormfort and the collective run away. I've been facing this threat since I came to Stormcastle anyway, and it couldn't be worse. ”

I don't know why, but now Duke is rarely calmer in the face of these threats. It is estimated that I have experienced a lot of life and death, and I have a broken jar mentality......

And Storm Fort still has Gandalf's thigh, and now that Kasmai has been co-opted, Gandalf doesn't have to hide it, if it really doesn't work, call him a "magic missile".

There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by one "magic missile", and if there is, then two!
