It's just that Duke's ambition is impossible to expose to anyone, at least now, even Princess Kina. Another point is that Duke believes that he may not be able to wait for his own rebellion, and the French Empire will fall apart.

Not to mention the ambitious lords below, even Henry VII's own son has begun to fight in the army, representing the central royal power, and his control over the local area is already very weak. The other is the external environment, the French Empire was so manipulated by the Holy See, so that the surrounding countries lost their awe of the French Empire, after all, the emperor knelt down in humiliation for three days to confess, it was really embarrassing.

If the Holy See can give this right of prayer to the Henry family, it will naturally be able to give it to other nobles. And the Holy See is not stupid, knowing that the Henry family is obsessed with this matter, so it has been constantly knocking on the French Empire for decades, making them further weakened.

In addition, the beasts, fallen elves, Atlantis sea tribes, and even hellish creatures are beginning to move, and even the rise of the Slavic Empire in the east of the continent is eager to challenge the Holy See.

Therefore, in the turmoil of the times, Duke must seize the time to enrich his strength, don't be killed by other forces before he defeats the Holy See.

When she came to the princess's tent, Princess Gina stopped and said to Duke, "Hey, do you want to go in and sit?"

"Is that the attitude of the inviter?"

Duke didn't have the surprise of being invited by the princess like ordinary people, but said this sentence directly.

Hearing Duke say this, Princess Gina instantly said viciously to Duke: "If you don't go in and pull it down, you better hurry up and go to the Storm Army camp, I don't want any problems in the northern defense line because of you!"

With that, Princess Gina turned and entered the tent, leaving Duke alone in his place.

This guy is as annoying as ever, and that hasn't changed in the slightest. As a princess, he invited him to sit in the tent, but he still disliked it? Hmph, if he was an ordinary person, he wouldn't have this opportunity at all!

"It's rude!"

Duke said a word to Princess Jena's back, and then walked in the direction of the Storm Army camp without a care. I still thought that women are fickle, and just now I praised myself for having such a strong storm army, and turned around and said that the northern defense line would have problems because of the storm army, is the combat effectiveness of the storm army so unbearable, and Ji Na has not seen it!

However, this kind of bickering with each other is a matter of course for Duke, and it can be expected that in the next time, this kind of thing will definitely not be less. After all, as Gina slowly gets acquainted with this place, she will gradually replace the command of Marquis Patton, and she will be Duke's direct boss at that time.

I thought that I could be in a state of ignoring both, but I didn't expect Emperor Fran to actually shoot Ji Na, a child of the royal family, to come over, it seems that Henry VII's big game of chess is also playing well.

Coming to the camp of the Storm Army was a little better than Duke had imagined, and the Second Imperial Legion had left a lot of infrastructure behind, which could save Duke a lot of trouble. However, it only saves a little trouble, and it does not mean that Duke will directly use the camp tent of the Second Legion of the Empire, because the standard of the Storm Army's camp far exceeds the current level of this world.

The simplest is the construction of toilets and sewers, lime disinfection and deep burial, etc., in this world, even the Holy See Army cannot do. It's not that they're lazy, it's that everyone doesn't understand the existence of the microcosm of microbes and bacteria.

There are also defensive and leisure measures, the Storm Army also has a special way to deal with it, and the soldiers are also people, and the usual high-intensity training, if you add the threat in wartime, even the Storm Army can produce nervous tension and unexpected situations, so proper decompression is necessary.

It's just that Duke doesn't allow soldiers to go out or women to enter the camp in this world, so they can only decompress by building some other forms of entertainment. The simplest thing is to build a house, and the excess energy is consumed, so naturally there is no energy to make trouble.

The construction of the camp was handed over to the logistics army to be completed, and the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the Storm Army had begun to assemble and prepare to go to the fortress of Alakou to begin the formal defensive line. Although it is now the cold season of early spring, the possibility of an attack by either the barbarians or the Hans Empire is not very large, but Duke does not want Princess Gina to say anything, in case there is a big problem with the defense line, then the deal with the barbarians will be completely finished.

When the first regiment of the Storm Army was assembled, Duke pulled Alan aside and whispered to him, "Alan, you have been in the northern defense line for almost twenty years, and I believe you know a lot about the barbarians and the Hans Empire. You also know the purpose of our coming to the northern defense line this time, so I hope that after arriving at the Alakou Fortress, I will send a small team of cavalry to find a way to contact some high-ranking barbarians and discuss with them about the war horse trade. ”

"Lord Lord, don't worry, I understand all this, in the barbarians, I also have some acquaintances, as long as I find them, there should be no problem. ”

Alan agreed, he had been in the northern defense line for more than twenty years, and it can be said that his familiarity with this place far exceeded that of Storm Castle. And the barbarian leader and the high-level also know that there are a few familiar characters, and it is basically not a problem to catch up.

The most important thing is that in fact, the French Empire itself has a war horse trade with the barbarians, and Duke Otto is no exception. However, the French Empire has always strictly controlled the inflow of iron tools, so that the iron pot for their cooking is not a problem, but if you want to build weapons, it is a bit insufficient.

So as long as Storm Castle can afford the price, then the war horse trade is simply a matter of unwantedness for the barbarians. There may be a lack of anything else on the northern steppe, but there is no shortage of war horses! As for whether or not to raise tigers for trouble, this is not a question that Duke can consider, just how to deal with the Lan Empire and Duke Otto.

To tell the truth, Henry VII and his father easily decided the life and death of themselves and Stormcastle, and they should have thought of this day happening. However, Duke also understands the truth that the people are suffering, and the people are suffering. Therefore, during this period of time, he will try his best to mobilize the peasants in the border area, and even collect the displaced people who have not been absorbed before, and send them to Storm Fort, so as to minimize civilian casualties!
