The Teutonic knights settled in Alpine City, which is a very obvious signal in the Andorran kingdom, as one of the three major knights of the Holy See, the identity of the Teutonic knights is still above the Light Army, and once there is a transfer, there will definitely be a big event.

And this time the direction of the transfer is Alpine City, then the answer is very obvious, the target of the Teutonic Knight's sword is Storm Castle. In fact, Duke has always been prepared for the arrival of this day, but he has always been lucky, feeling that he is far away from the emperor here, and he is still an abandoned frontier, so the Holy See should not make great efforts to trouble him.

As a result, he still underestimated the authority of the Holy See in this world, only the Holy See did not want to move, and there was no church that did not dare to move. In particular, Duke has already gone too far, and Ole needs this merit to help him compete for the position of cardinal of the French Empire, as long as he takes the credit of Storm Castle!

Although Duke had been prepared in his heart, when this day came, Duke was still a little panicked in his heart. After all, this is the ruler of the continent, the absolute ruler of the Middle Ages!

Let's not talk about how exaggerated the power of the Holy City is, and some hidden masters of the Holy See. The Light Army distributed on the continent alone is not something that ordinary empires can resist, let alone the small lord of Duke.

If the previous monster attack was just a crisis, then this time it provoked the Holy See attack, which was undoubtedly a dead end.

In the face of such a grim situation, Duke couldn't pretend to be forced this time, and directly called the military commander and main combat force of Storm Fortress to the conference hall, intending to discuss how to deal with this crisis.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Duke spoke: "I believe you all already have a rough idea of what is going on, this time may be the biggest crisis in Stormcastle, if you can't deal with it this time, it may not be as simple as running away, we will face the Holy See hunting down the whole world." ”

Duke had a wry smile on his face at this time, to be honest, he really didn't have anything to do this time. If it was only the Light Army of Alpine City plus the Teutonic Knights, Duke thought that he still had the strength to fight, and he really didn't think that his Storm Army and the Dwarven Legion could be weak.

But now the question is, even if it is to defeat Ole's Holy See army, what should be done in the future? You must know that the Holy See has ruled for thousands of years, and the foundation has been extremely solid, they can withstand countless defeats, relying on the advantage of size and the strength of the entire continent, and make a comeback again.

But Duke only has one Storm Fort, only 3,000 Storm Army plus 1,500 Dwarven Legions, a total of less than 5,000 military forces, if this battle is lost, then Duke will have nothing. Duke Otto and the French Empire can't hold up a weighty opponent in front of the Holy See.

Hearing Duke say this, the military commanders in the conference hall, such as Cassel and Allen, all did not speak with serious expressions, in the face of the absolute strength gap, maybe tactical strategy has not much effect.

Even Gandalf, who has always been extremely arrogant, looked at the front with an expressionless face at this moment, he may not have any problem protecting himself, but the thousands of soldiers and 100,000 residents of Storm Fortress are not something that a great mage can carry.

Moreover, the main reason why the Teutonic Knights can become the three major knights of the Holy See is that they have all been blessed with light magic, and there are many military priests. Otherwise, within the pro-kingdom of Andorra, there may be no one who can compare to Gandalf in terms of pure magical achievements, except for Ole.

But once these clergymen and Teutonic knights magic were added, Gandalf's magic element could not harm them at all. Duke had always liked to refer to Gandalf as a "nuclear deterrent" at Stormkeep, but magical attacks were different from real nuclear deterrence because they were pure energy attacks that could be dispelled and neutralized.

If you have to make an analogy, it is like a laser in later generations, once there are too many impurities or reflections in the air, the laser effect will be greatly reduced or even close to zero. Even if the atomic bomb is intercepted, as long as it is detonated, it will be powerful enough, and perhaps this is the most direct difference between forbidden deterrence and "nuclear deterrence".

Seeing that no one spoke, Hera looked at Duke at this time, she had been struggling and hesitating in her heart for a long time just now, Storm Castle was in today's desperate situation, in fact, the reason was because of the arrival of the witch.

Hera felt a sense of warmth that only makes her home come from home during her days at Stormcastle, and she is happy and misses it. For Duke, although Hera likes to tease him, she is extremely grateful in her heart, because she understands that Duke is the lord who really cares about this group of poor witches, and treats them as equals.

If it was necessary to use blood and life to save this catastrophe, then Hera would rather this person be himself. So she looked at Duke, intending to confess to the Holy See, admitting that Andorra's escape was her own, and at the same time saying that everything Duke did in Stormcastle was coerced by herself.

Only by taking everything on your own can you save Storm Castle.

Naturally, Duke had seen Hera's eyes, which he was not unfamiliar with, as he had seen the little witch many times before. But he had never seen Hera like this, because Hera had always been confident, calm, and had the responsibility and responsibility of being a leader, as well as disdain and fearlessness for the Holy See!

So he understood what Hera's eyes represented, Duke had always thought of himself as a person who was greedy for life and death, greedy for pleasure. But once he submits to the Holy See, this is a distortion and betrayal of his outlook on life and the world that he has cultivated through more than 20 years of scientific education!

Even if Stormcastle survives because of this, Duke may no longer have the ambition to save these pioneers of science, shouting that science is the truth. He didn't have that spiritual height to despise the Holy See, because he was also a subservient!

So Duke didn't speak, he just shook his head gently at Hera to stop her from flinching.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the dwarf hammer slapped the table at this time, breaking the silence: "Damn, when the Storm Legion was in formation before, I thought that Storm Castle was a group of warriors and men, but now that the Holy See army is here, they all become women?"

"Lord Duke, I have great respect for you, because you have also given us dwarves respect! The Hammer Tribe has joined Stormcastle and is a member of Stormcastle, no matter what your choice is, we dwarves have nothing to fear!"
