Carl came in and saw that Duke and Alan were already waiting for him in the tent, and probably understood that there must be something important, otherwise he would not have called back directly to himself who was still stationed in the fortress of Alakou.

"My lord, is there something important going on?"

"That's right. Duke nodded, and then repeated what Princess Gina had said to Carl.

"This is obviously for our Storm Army to die, Lord Lord, we Storm Army should refuse such an order. ”

Carl is a straight man, and as the number of Storm Army increases, the age of the officers of the entire Storm Army is also declining, and many of them have not been in contact with other nobles, but have adapted to Duke's simple and rough style, and they are more point-to-point.

Hearing Karl's answer, before Duke could speak, Alan said: "Actually, it's not easy for us to refuse, because we don't have any evidence for all this conspiracy, relying on the words of the Hans Empire." I believe that with the collusion with the Hans Empire, His Majesty the Emperor will not leave any written evidence no matter how stupid he is. ”

"So in the eyes of others, it's just a normal military offensive operation, and a much more important point. On the surface, this military operation can be regarded as taking great care of our Storm Army, at least without having to undertake the main attack task, so some remarks about using the Storm Army as cannon fodder are also untenable. If we resist attacking, His Majesty the Emperor will be able to punish us openly, and the other lords will not sympathize with the Stormtroopers. ”

Allen's explanation, Carl's face was a little unsightly, as a military commander, he was also very understandable in this period.

Seeing that the two subordinates did not speak, Duke said with a faint sneer on his face at this time: "Actually, we are not so passive, the emperor and Duke Patton both think that we are kept in the dark, and they are in the dark. But in fact, we already knew their plans, so in a sense, their actions were all exposed to our eyes, which means that we are in the dark.

"My lord, do you have any plans?"

Karl asked at this time, and listening to Duke's tone and confident attitude, he understood that the lord must have a way.

"Yes, I have a way, and I've always planned it. ”

Duke replied confidently, since he had just heard about Emperor Fran's plot from the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire more than a month ago, Duke had been thinking about how to deal with it. After more than a month, Duke finally came up with a "almost perfect" solution, which could not only help the Storm Army survive this crisis, but even have a way to get the Storm Army out of the northern defense line.

When the Storm Army came to the northern border, the main factor was to trade war horses, and now the first batch of war horses has been transported back, the second batch of war horses will be traded soon, and the third batch of transactions should be a month later if nothing goes wrong.

Coupled with the time of marching on the road, it took about half a year for the Storm Army to come out of the expedition. Although the Storm Army was able to gain some marching experience and form a cavalry regiment in the past six months, the financial pressure on Storm Fort was not small. And Duke has not been in command in Storm Castle for a long time, and he is not very comfortable with his lair. After all, there is still the threat of the Ice Demon and the Sea Clan, and if these two hostile forces pick a good time to attack together, Fei Duo, who stays behind, may not be able to deal with it.

"My lord, what's your plan?"

Alan asked, curious to see what Duke could say about how to deal with it.

"Why was the head of the Kabu branch of the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire willing to take the initiative to reveal the conspiracy of the Emperor Fran to us, you should know why, right?"

He felt that the stakes of a storm army were not high enough, and the ambitions of the Hans Empire were far more than just a storm army could satisfy. ”

Karl replied directly, this kind of basic strategic thinking storm army senior general Oh Du must have.

That's right, he just felt that when a storm army came to the northern defense line, even if it was swallowed, it was only an advantage of a few thousand people, and after seeing that the storm army was so well-equipped, they felt that they would definitely be able to swallow it easily. In case they can't swallow it at that time, whether the Imperial Army and the Lion Army will stab each other naturally, these Hans Empires have no way to guarantee, and they may be choked to death by the Storm Army. ”

"So after they considered it, they simply told us the news to the Storm Army, in case we rebelled directly in anger, then the northern defense line of the empire will collapse, and the Hans Empire will at least be able to gnaw a large piece of meat on the northern territory of the empire, and the land is what they really want. ”

After listening to Duke's story, Allen's face was a little unsightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he still asked Duke: "Lord Lord, your plan is to expose the marching routes of the Lion Army and the Imperial Army to the Hans Empire, just as the Marquis of Barton will expose the marching routes of our Storm Army?"

Because Duke had already said before, he asked Duke Gina to ask for a detailed route map of the march and an attack plan. Just as Marquis Patton intended to reveal the Stormtrooper's marching plans to the barbarians and the Hans Empire, Duke could have chosen to do so. More importantly, compared to the storm army of only a few thousand people, the scale of the lion army and the imperial army will be tens of thousands of troops this time, which of the two is more important, as long as the generals of the Hans Empire have no problem with their brains, they will know which army to ambush.

But this is also the reason why Allen's face is ugly, even though he is now loyal to Duke and is the general of the Storm Army. However, after serving in the Lion Army for more than ten years, it is not easy to completely eliminate the history of Duke Otto's southern and northern wars.

And the people who have lived in this border area also have a sense of national identity that is not found in other inland parts of the world. It may not be as obvious as modern patriotism and nationalism, but Alan is heartfelt resistant to betraying the Lion Army and the Imperial Army, even if they are now on the verge of being their enemies.

Compared to Allen, Carl is much more relaxed, he is a native of Storm Castle, and he has experienced the fear of ice demons and the despair of being abandoned by the empire since he was a child, so he has no sense of belonging to the French Empire.

It was Duke's arrival that saved Stormcastle and gave the people of Stormcastle a stable life that they once had in fear, hunger and cold. At the same time, the service experience of the Storm Army makes him only have a sense of belonging to the Storm Castle and the Storm Army, and he has absolute loyalty to Duke, the lord, and it doesn't matter what other French Empire, Lion Army, Berry Principality, Carl will resolutely carry out the orders issued by Duke!
