Duke finally made up his mind this time, whether this battle is fought or not, he must pull people over and put them in a posture to show the muscles of Storm Castle, otherwise Alpine City will really ride to the neck, and the porcelain sales will be completely eaten by them.

Porcelain is currently the lifeblood of Stormcastle, and until there is a spring or a new path to be opened, the price of 5 gold per piece of porcelain must be guaranteed in order to avoid a financial crisis

Seeing Duke's gritted teeth, the smile on Gandalf's face became even worse: "This is like a lord, I am looking forward to your heroic appearance." ”

After saying this, Gandalf patted his ass and left, seeing Gandalf's attitude, Duke was even more upset, he was also the chief magician of Storm Castle, what kind of attitude is this?

After Gandalf left, Duke called Kasmai over and said that now that he had been appointed Stormcastle's propaganda officer, it was time to do something.

Duke asks Kasmai to tell the Storm Soldiers about Alpine City's exploitation and oppression of Storm Castle, with a humiliating demeanor and an inflammatory tone. Because Duke knows that one of the most important sources of combat effectiveness for soldiers is to let them know what they are fighting for. Otherwise, if you suddenly meet the soldiers of Alpine City, although the storm soldiers will carry it out to the letter, they will definitely be confused in their thoughts.

Therefore, letting these soldiers know about the situation of Storm Castle will spark their anger against the same enemy and strengthen the Storm Legion's combat effectiveness.

In the face of Duke's request, although Casmai was very reluctant, he had no choice now. They are already grasshoppers on a rope with Duke, and if Stormcastle collapses financially and is breached by an army of monsters, then Kasmai has no way out.

What's more, after Duke said that there would be a reward of 100 gold coins, Kasmai's enthusiasm for work immediately came up, and he patted his chest on the spot and promised to make the soldiers see Alpine City as evil as the devil!

At night, Duke didn't sleep well all night, thinking of various ways to deal with it in his mind, but in the face of the absolute difference in strength, these methods didn't seem to be very useful. After thinking about it, Duke felt that it was better to salute first and then soldier, and if he was not able to outwit the enemy, there was only one way to outwit him, and that was to attack suddenly!

Early the next morning, all the soldiers of the Storm Legion were assembled and stood by, and they had passed through the pre-battle mobilization of Kasmai yesterday, almost in a crowd of rage, shouting for a lesson to Alpine City. In the face of such an effect, Duke nodded at Kasmai with satisfaction, it seems that the ability of this god stick to fool believers is really useful for the propaganda of Storm Castle, otherwise relying on the stupid two mouths of Kassel and Allen to inform them, there is absolutely no such effect.

"Warriors, we at Stormcastle have faced many threats, neither the monsters nor the Sea Clan have been able to bring us to our knees. Now that Alpine City is so exploited and oppressed, they will also bear the wrath of the Storm Legion!"

"Storm Legion, forward, forward, forward!"

The Storm Castle soldiers in the audience also issued their impassioned slogans to express their attitude.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers wearing shining storm armor in the audience, Duke's hesitation and retreat in his heart were also forgotten, maybe the most powerful hoplite in the world was in front of him, as long as the Third Legion of the Empire and the Bright Army did not interfere in the private fight between the lords, why should the lords of Alpine City fight with the Storm Castle?

After the pre-war mobilization, all the troops marched in the direction of Alpine City, and the witches also contributed a passage to Mont Saint-Michel, so that the whole army did not have to go around to Mont Saint-Michel as usual, but directly crossed the past, and almost doubled the time in the case of rapid marching, and when night fell, the lights of Alpine City could already be seen in the distance.

"Alan, you commanded the soldiers to be stationed here to recover their strength. Cassel, lead an elite cavalry squad with me to Alpine City, meet with the lord of Alpine City, Count Fili, go and negotiate with them first, if you can talk about it, forget it, if you can't talk about Alan, pay attention to Gandalf's magic signal, I will let Gandalf blast open the city gate and prepare for a fierce battle!"

Duke thought about it all night last night, the forbidden spell must not be released, not to mention whether it can be released successfully, even if it succeeds, he will become a public enemy of the mainland, which is similar to the effect of using nuclear weapons first in later generations.

Since there is no way to use the forbidden spell, and the difficulty of the fortress to attack the city is conceivable, the only way to attack it is to take advantage of it. After all, Alpine City didn't know Duke's plans, and the identities of the two sides were not enemies, they were both lords of the Fran Empire.

When it was really impossible to talk about it, he relied on Cassel to lead the elite knights, cooperate with Gandalf to capture the city gate, and even destroy the magic array on the city gate, directly destroying the city gate. Surprise is the only chance for the Storm Legion to storm Alpine City.

Even Duke felt that with a new type of armor, even if the Third Legion of the Empire and the Bright Army participated in the battle, he might not have the strength to fight, because with the current weapons of Alpine City, it was very difficult to break through the storm armor.

After giving the order, Duke took Gandalf and a pair of elite cavalry and walked in the direction of Alpine City. This time, Gandalf also changed him into a black robe, and put on a red ** robe embroidered with gold thread, representing his identity as a fire archmage. The existence of the fire type archmage can also deter Alpine City!

A group of cavalry soon came to the bottom of the fortress, and the soldiers of Alpine City naturally discovered Duke and them, especially when they saw such a well-equipped full-body armor, they immediately lit the torch and shouted to Duke: "This is Alpine City, the territory of Count Fili, who are you?"

Dukelema stepped forward and replied in an arrogant tone: "I am Viscount Duke, Lord of Stormcastle, and I want to meet Count Fili, this is the coat of arms of the Otto family, hurry up and let us in." ”

After saying that, Duke showed the lion head badge on his breastplate, maybe these people don't know who Viscount Duke is, but the mark of the Otto family, basically no one in the French Empire doesn't know. So when he saw the lion's head badge, one of the guards at the head of the city hurried towards the castle, and he wanted to tell Count Philip about it.

In Alpine Castle, Count Filip is enjoying a sumptuous dinner with his wife and children, and during this time, by reselling the porcelain of Storm Castle, Alpine City can be said to have made a lot of money, which makes Count Filip feel very good. In fact, the price reduction was only the private behavior of Philip's second son Ott, and Count Filip did not know about it, but later, with the large amount of gold coins in the warehouse, Count Filip fully agreed with this behavior, and there was nothing more tempting than a golden gold coin.

"Lord Lord, Viscount Duke, Lord of Storm Castle, has appeared outside the city and wants to meet you. ”

Hearing the words of the messenger, the countess said with some surprise, "Why did the Lord of Storm Castle come here?"

"I guess it's because of the price of porcelain. Count Philip replied in a flat tone, he didn't take Duke seriously at all.

"Ott, go and prepare, although this Duke is a well-known straw bale in the imperial capital, but for the sake of Duke Otto's face, I should still meet him. ”

"Yes, Father. Ott also had a contemptuous smile on his face, and he didn't take Duke seriously either.
