088 Alpine Treaty

Duke's words made the faces of everyone present a little ugly, especially the aristocratic class, Duke's words were really vulgar, and there was no aristocratic etiquette.

But this simple and crude words did work best, and when Duke said that he would kill the whole family, Count Filip quickly agreed. Because in his eyes, Duke is simply a madman with a wrong head, this kind of madman dares to attack Alpine City, and maybe he will even make a move to kill the whole family!

Of course, Duke is just learning the lines of the old boy to play, and if he really wants to kill the whole family, Duke still can't do it. Seeing that he had frightened Count Fili and his son, Duke didn't say anything, but asked Cassel and them to control the situation first, and then sign an alliance with Alpine City.

After all, Duke is attacking with the whole army this time, in case the monster senses that something is wrong and raids Storm Castle in the absence of Duke's main force, then Duke and the Storm Legion have no way to go back, and maybe they can only occupy Alpine City to "change homes".

Therefore, Duke has no way to stay in Alpine City for long, and must solve this matter as soon as possible, and then lead the Storm Legion back to Storm Castle to defend. It just so happened that the Third Legion of the Empire and the Holy See Illumination Army were also here, so that they could be witnesses to the signing of the treaty, so as to prevent Count Fili from repenting.

Faced with the threat of Duke and the Storm Legion, Count Filip finally agreed to the price and signed a treaty, for the simple reason that as long as they spent a little time transporting them further afield on the mainland, they would still be profitable. It's just that Takayama City earned too much money before, which is why they are so uncomfortable.

In addition to agreeing on the price of porcelain, Alpine Castle also compensated Duke for the loss of 50,000 gold in military expenses, and at the same time, the Alpine Rock Cavalry Regiment was taken from the barracks by Stormcastle with almost 500 horses and other horses.

Because the biggest threat to Alpine City to Storm Castle is actually the cavalry charging in formation, Duke will inevitably weaken Alpine City's Rock Cavalry Regiment. After all, it's like this big gamble, it's almost impossible for Duke to win two bets in a row, as long as he restricts the Rock Cavalry Regiment and strengthens his Storm Cavalry, then everything else is easy to do, and he is not afraid that Alpine City will tear up the agreement and regret it.

Count Fili couldn't do anything in the face of such a harsh mountain treaty, and now that the entire castle had been occupied by Storm Castle, he had no choice at all. If it weren't for the fact that Duke didn't want to give up his lair in the face of the pressure of the monster army, especially the hydroelectric factory, otherwise Duke would have planned to slaughter them.

Dawn has finally arrived, and today there is a rare winter sunshine, and the residents of Alpine Castle spent last night in shock and fear, they don't know why Takayama Castle was attacked without warning, and they were able to kill the city.

You must know that Takayama Castle has a very strong military force, so it is impossible to be defeated so easily. However, although the sound of shouting and killing resounded throughout the city, there was no burning and looting in the residential areas of the civilians, and all of them were concentrated in the area of the lord's castle.

This also makes the residents of Takayama City feel very strange, if the enemy invades Takayama Castle, will they still do no harm to the people? In the history of the Europa Continent, there have been countless times when the city has been breached, and the end is very miserable, and Takayama City cannot escape this bad luck.

It's just that in the second half of the night, the sound of shouting and killing has almost disappeared, not to mention the area where the people live, even the area where the nobles and rich people live, have not suffered from the military disaster. As the sun began to rise, some of the daring mountain dwellers began to quietly open their doors to check out the situation outside. They were surprised to find that the soldiers who appeared on the streets were no longer the main guards of Alpine City, but strange warriors wearing heavy silver-white armor all over their bodies.

"Ciel, where did these warriors come from, is our Alpine City defeated?"

A man who looked like an old peasant asked another peasant next to him, he was very confused about this situation, why the situation was so calm when the mountain city was breached.

"It seems that it is, but why is there no movement in the camps of the Imperial Army and the Bright Army, is this the Imperial Majesty's palace guard taking over Takayama City, could it be said that the Earl has committed a great crime?"

Suspicions like this are discussed by almost the entire people of Alpine City, because the battle armor of the Storm Legion is so conspicuous that ordinary territories are not equipped with so many plate armors at all. Thinking about it, with such military strength, the only thing left to keep the Imperial Army and the Bright Army from attacking is the French Imperial Court Army.

Only when His Majesty the Emperor of France personally punishes Takayama City will there be such a situation in front of him.

However, the people soon realized that they had misguessed, and the reason was simple, because Duke had raised the banner of Stormcastle with great pride. These people may not be familiar with the battle flag of Storm Castle, but the iconic lion head insignia on the battle flag is used by only one family in the French Empire, and that is the Otto family.

"Duke Otto's army has raided Alpine City?"

"Impossible, the Duke's Duchy of Berry is so far away from Takayama City, how can it be raided?"

"I see, there is only one person in the Andorran Kingdom who can use the Lion's Head family crest, and that is Viscount Duke of Stormcastle, the youngest son of Duke Otto. ”

"That's right, it's Viscount Duke of Stormcastle, and only he is eligible to use the Otto family crest!"

As soon as the last citizen said this, everyone instantly realized that such a powerful army was actually from Storm Castle, and it had also broken through Alpine City? In their previous impressions, Storm Castle had always been weak and backward, just an outpost and cannon fodder in Alpine City. As a result, I didn't expect that Storm Castle was already so powerful, which was really unexpected by everyone.

While these people were amazed, Duke had officially signed the Alpine Treaty with Count Philip, which was also the first unequal treaty in Alpine City.

This time, Stormcastle can be described as a great victory, a lot of profits, and also makes Duke feel the dividends of a kind of war. He finally understood why after the Middle Ages, colonial rule in the Age of Discovery was so popular, and it was always easier to plunder wealth than to produce it himself.

Of course, the premise is to be able to win!

Similarly, this is also the first military operation of the Storm Legion on its own initiative, and it is conceivable that soon the name of the Storm Legion will resound throughout the Pro-Kingdom of Andorra and even the French Empire.

On the way back to Stormcastle, the time on the way was much shorter thanks to the horses from Alpine City. Duke rode his horse and saw from afar the people of Stormcastle walking out of the city, welcoming the warriors of Stormcastle home with their warmest cheers.
