Before the storm army arrived, the formidable sight of the five thousand plate-armored warriors on the march had already been transmitted to Henry VII, the emperor of the French Empire.

Maybe Henry VII didn't get information about the Stormcastle investigation before, because he felt that Stormcastle was a Jedi to be abandoned, and no matter how it developed, it was very unworthwhile to put the power of the Imperial Intelligence Agency on Stormcastle.

But the high-profile performance of the Storm Army made Henry VII have to come, even extremely shocked. He didn't expect that Duke's so-called equipment of the Three Former Storm Army was so strong, and more importantly, such equipment was not just 3,000 people, but reached 5,000 people.

If you send out an expedition, you can take out 5,000 people, so how many troops should be left behind in Stormfort. It can be said that the appearance of these five thousand storm troops completely subverted all the previous impressions of Henry VII about Storm Castle, which is simply a strength that only a great lord can have.

Therefore, Henry VII felt a little frightened in shock, and he was even more convinced that the Storm Army's march to the northern defense line was a huge conspiracy, and that Duke Otto was plotting against the Imperial Royalty. And the previous ideas of relying on logistics and supplies to drag down the Lion Army have become jokes, the Storm Army is equipped with this equipment, what weapons and equipment do they need?

So Henry VII gave an order to the Marquis of Barton, if the storm army storm army is only strong on the surface, then let them defend the city, and even deliberately reveal that the fortress of Alakou has been replaced by a rookie army, and if the barbarians and the Hans Empire attack, they may take the initiative to attack the fortress of Alakou, causing casualties to the storm army, and it is best to lose both.

But if the Storm Army is really strong, defense alone will definitely not be able to cause casualties to the Storm Army, after all, the defense of the fortress in this world is too high, and if there is no powerful siege equipment and mage regiment, if you want to conquer it, you can only rely on the siege to slowly consume it.

However, neither the barbarians nor the Hans Empire would choose this stupid method, after all, the Fran Empire had not weakened to the point where it could only be beaten passively. If you really dare to besiege the city for such a long time, then the Fran Empire will not give up this opportunity and directly defeat the armies of the barbarians or the Hans Empire, which can relieve the current huge pressure on the Fran Empire.

So Henry VII had a second order, and that was to let Earl Barton find a way to order the storm army to take the initiative, whether it was the barbarians or the Hans Empire. Anyway, just let them fight, so that no matter how heavy the casualties of the storm army are, it has little to do with the French Empire, it only consumes the strength of Duke Otto, and at the same time can relieve the pressure on the northern defense line.

After all, the powerful Storm Army, no matter how many people 5,000 people are, can cause certain casualties to the opponent. The Hans Empire's national strength was not much stronger than that of the Franse Empire, and they also had to face the threat of barbarians and the Franse Empire, so they couldn't withstand consumption.

As for the barbarians, although they are the most powerful of the three parties, even in a sense, the Hans Empire and the Fran Empire combined are not satisfied with being strong. However, they were nomads, and they had natural defects in attacking cities, but the French Empire and the Hans Empire did not appreciate the barbarians too much.

At most, they harassed the frontier, and if they entered the core area of the interior with various fortresses, then the barbarians might face a counter-encirclement. Another point is that the Holy See will allow human kingdoms to annex each other, but they are very wary of foreign races, because they are pure infidels, and they will inevitably help the French Empire or the Hans Empire, and once the Holy See makes a move, there is nothing to worry about.

It can be said that the French Empire's abacus has been laid, that is, to comprehensively suppress the power of Duke Otto. With the issuance of this secret order, as the commander of the guards of the most loyal empire, Marquis Patton will naturally spare no effort to carry it out!

Duke didn't know that his high-profile actions had brought him a killing opportunity. However, Duke didn't care much about this, after all, Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the forest wind, and the small sapling of Storm Castle would eventually grow into a big tree in the sky that others looked up to.

In the camp of the Storm Army, the first batch of supplies transported by Duke Otto has also arrived, after all, this is something that has been prepared for a long time, almost as soon as Duke left on the front foot, the logistics officer of Duke Otto on the back foot has already transported it.

Duke stood beside Goodman, the head of the logistics regiment, and watched as he tapped on the supplies provided by the Lion Army. After a general glance, Goodman replied to Duke: "Lord Lord, this time the supplies provided by the Northern Legion are only the most basic food, and there are no weapons and equipment. If we go through war, we may need to replenish our weapons and equipment on our own. ”

Listening to Goodman's message, Karl, the third regiment commander of the Storm Army who stayed in the camp, said a little dissatisfied: "It's the first time I've seen the participating soldiers, and even the logistics that don't provide weapons and equipment, is this the emperor picking the door, or is it the Duke of Otto picking the door?"

"Karl, watch your words!"

Goodman reminded Carl as soon as possible, you must know that His Majesty the Emperor is all about it, Storm Castle has not been loyal to the Fran Empire for a hundred years anyway, and living in that kind of environment, facing death threats at any time The Fran Empire is not of much help, so naturally it is not loyal.

But Duke Otto said that he was also the father of the lord, and Karl's tone didn't take Duke in his eyes at all, so the old Goodman immediately reminded him.

Hearing Goodman's reminder, Carl immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly replied, "I'm sorry Lord Lord, I didn't mean to target Lord Duke. ”

Seeing Carl's nervous appearance, Duke just smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's okay, we are the Storm Army, only the soldiers of the Storm Army are our siblings to rely on, everyone else is an outsider, as long as it is not malicious and insulting, don't consider my feelings!"

In fact, Duke wanted to say in his heart that Duke Otto and I don't have much to do with me, you can say whatever you want, and you don't have to care about my feelings. But considering that after all, he and Duke Otto are still father and son in name, so it's really not good to say it like this.

"Now that I know my lord, I'll pay attention to it later. ”

Karl still assured that although the lord said that he didn't care, no one knew if he really didn't care, so it was better to pay attention.

At the same time, Goodman also changed the topic and said: "It may be that their equipment does not match the Storm Army, so it is simply omitted, and we didn't want equipment in our original plan, as long as there is food." ”
