Not only Duke Otto felt a strangeness, but even the senior generals in the lion camp were full of shock in their hearts at this time.

In fact, the oldest group of people in this group, such as Fleck and Robert, are all Duke who have seen a few years old. It's just that Duke was too young at that time to see any character.

However, later they also heard of Duke's reputation in the imperial capital, a pure gentleman, who only knew that spending time in the Elysée district was a shame for Duke Otto, and even the Duke himself gave up this son.

But from the first time they met Duke, they felt a little different from the rumors, a boy known as a straw bale can build such a powerful lion army? others may not know, suspect that Duke Otto helped build it. But how could the Lion Army's generals not know that the Storm Army had never received any help from the Principality of Berry, not even the most basic connections.

It's just that there is no deeper understanding of that side except for a simple greeting. Today, Duke suddenly broke into the main tent, whether it was the sighing words, the confident attitude, or even the rampant walking in, it made people feel an image that did not match the rumors at all.

It is even no exaggeration to say that Duke's composure and self-confidence completely overshadow his second brother Tok, and is on par with his eldest brother Baker, who is known as a genius boy. Is this because the bale and the waste were abandoned by Duke Otto's son? Could it be that all the previous rumors were false, and Duke was the most underrated son?

When Duke returned from the lion camp, he also received an accurate attack time from Princess Gina. The tentative time for the attack was July 2, a month later, and this day was also a sacrificial ceremony for the barbarians, and the personnel and troops were relatively concentrated.

In fact, the human empire has never been afraid of attacking the barbarians, what they are afraid of is that they will not be able to meet the main force of the barbarians in the vast grassland, and after a period of endless search and consumption, they can only be forced to retreat. And once this time comes, it's time for the barbarians to launch a counterattack.

After all, the empires of medieval Europe did not achieve the great unified empire of the Han and Tang dynasties in ancient China, and had enough strength to directly attack the royal courts of the nomads or seize the water sources of their settlements and force them to fight a decisive battle. And this world is like the national strength of the French Empire, and chasing a few hundred miles at most is the limit, like a pursuit expedition of thousands of miles, which is something that you can't even think about, that is, various factors have led to the current rampant of the barbarians.

Just as Duke was making the final preparations, the news came from Storm Castle again, that is, the Sea Clan army of nearly 20,000 of the Shark Tribe had officially attacked Storm Castle.

At the bottom of the offshore waters of the Sea of Death, the dense fish-man warriors of the Shark tribe are gathering, and in the unfinished Storm Fortress not far away, five thousand heavily armed Storm Fish-Man troops are also waiting for them, and the entire Storm Fish-Man tribe is in a desperate mentality, because they have no way to retreat, if this battle cannot defeat the Shark tribe to guard the Storm Fortress, then they will no longer have the opportunity to contact the ocean.

As the temporary military commander of Stormkeep, Fedor withdrew the two infantry regiments of the Storm Dwarves that had crushed the Valley of the Monsters, and sent them to the Hydro Factory and the Sea of Death Beach to build a defensive line. Only the War Sheep Cavalry Regiment is left patrolling the entire Monster Valley defense line, and if it encounters a counterattack from the Ice Demon, it will be temporarily abandoned.

Fedora himself, with a thousand logistics troops, went to the Storm Fortress and would personally go to the front line to command. This is also the last 1,000 human troops with armor equipment in Storm Castle except for the Second Legion, because the remaining 3,500 recruits and 1,000 people are left to come to the logistics army in rotation, and they don't even have the most basic battle armor, and all the recent production capacity of Storm Castle has been traded with the barbarians.

The second regiment of the Storm Army must guard the lair of Storm Fort, once the ice demon attacks, they can still hold on with the War Sheep Cavalry Regiment that has retreated, this is the foundation of Storm Fort, so Fei Duo can only call on this thousand rotating logistics troops.

Fedo stood on top of the Storm Fortress, looking at the calm sea in front of him, but he knew that there was already a dark tide inside. In fact, Fei Duo was not very worried about the Storm Fortress, because with the current Storm Army of 6,000 people, plus 100,000 Sea Clan Fishmen behind him, even if it was only a half-finished fortress, it would not be easy to attack it.

His biggest concern was for the Sea Clan to bypass the Storm Fortress and attack the Storm Forts or Hydro Factories directly from the sandy side, which is why he put all the most powerful Storm Dwarf troops in the Hydro Factories.

However, if the Shark Tribe chooses such a tactic, they also face the risk of being cut off. Recently, Stormcastle has also slowly learned about the weaknesses of the Fish-Man Warriors, although they are physically strong and far superior to humans in terms of physical fitness. But precisely because their weight is too large, as long as they are out of the water, the physical exertion will be very amazing.

Just like a whale, it is a behemoth in the sea, but as long as it is placed on the shore, even if it does not suffocate, it will be crushed to death by its own weight!

The Storm Army's counterattack in the Battle of the Beach was so smooth, in fact, it was also related to the rapid decline in the physical strength of the Shark Tribe's fish-man warriors. This is the Sea Clan's biggest secret, and if it weren't for the Wave Tribe's submission to Storm Castle, this weakness would not have been possible for Fasqi to tell.

Therefore, the Wave Tribe's fish-man warriors chose to raid after Rao, which is a matter of both risk and benefit. And Storm Castle has also done all the combat preparations, this is not only to determine the safety of the Storm Castle Ocean, but also to determine the future belonging of the Sea of Death, which has been planned by Duke in the Age of Discovery!

But this is the end of Fei Duo's report, because the war has not yet begun, and the distance between Storm Fort and the northern defense line is more than 500 kilometers, even if the Storm Merchant Company is now fast all the way, it can only deliver the news once in three to five days, if it is even faster, it will cause the horses to be tired to death, and the financial resources of Storm Fort cannot bear this kind of loss for the time being.

When Duke told the critical situation of Storm Castle, Alan and Carl were also a little anxious, after all, half of the main force of the Storm Army was brought out by Duke, and now the Storm Castle army is empty, and the 20,000 heavily armed Fishman warriors are almost three times the number of people left behind in the Storm Army.

One more important thing is that the dwarves are very unsuitable for water warfare, as they are landlubbers. The war between the Storm Fortress and the banks of the Seine may depend on the Fish-Man Army and the Human Army themselves, and the lack of troops is what Duke is most worried about.
