In the castle of Count Fili in Alpine City, a servant installed in Storm Castle once again saw Count Fili under house arrest.

Although Ott killed his brother, he did not be cruel to Count Filip, I don't know if this is because the Prince of Andorra cares about his reputation, or because Ote is worried about the future evaluation of the outside world, so he just put Count Fili under house arrest and does not let him have any contact with the outside world.

After all, now there is only one son left by Count Filley, and there may be a chance for Count Filly to change his mind in the future and directly let Ott inherit the title. After all, the title that was snatched was far from being as stable as the inheritance, after all, the title was added through the French royal family and the Holy See, and Ott did not have absolute confidence in whether Andorra would be able to become the emperor of France.

Count Filip no longer has the same high-spirited appearance as he used to be, and the software has not seen the light of day for a long time, so that his face has a sickly paleness, and when he saw the servant come in, Count Filip did not move, still staring out the window blankly.

After the servant put down the food, he also looked at Count Filip and said to him: "Lord Earl, my lord has given me an ultimatum, and he wants to ask you again if you are willing to cooperate with Stormcastle, he can guarantee your future freedom and food and clothing." ”

Count Fili only showed a wry smile on his face when the servant said such words, and he didn't look surprised, after all, he had already known that the servant was the inner response of the Storm Castle. At that time, Count Filip only sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect that in addition to his son, even the servants around him had been rebelled, and it seemed that he had really reached the point of betraying his relatives?

"I will also lose Alpine City if I cooperate, but if I don't cooperate, Alpine City will still belong to my Fili family in the future, do you think there is any point in such cooperation?"

Count Filip replied with a wry smile, he hated his son Ott very much, but how to say that Alpine City is also the inheritance of his ancestors, because of his anger and handed over Alpine City to others, Count Fili still can't pass his psychological level.

"Count I'll tell you the truth, half of your Alpine generals have decided to surrender to Stormcastle, for the Storm Warriors will give them the glory of true soldiers. So whether you agree or not, the Storm Army will conquer Alpine City in the near future and complete the unification of Storm Castle and Alpine City, so now the conditions that the Lord Lord gives you are actually very favorable. ”

When he heard this, Count Fili's face finally changed a little, he really didn't expect that Duke's determination would be so decisive, and he had already communicated with the generals of Alpine City!

"I'll admit that I've always underestimated Duke's straw bag, and his methods since coming to Stormcastle may have been inferior to even his father, Duke Otto. But without my help, would Stormcastle be able to withstand the wrath of the Prince of Andorra? Even if it could withstand the Prince of Andorra, then when the time comes, the Empire will be held accountable, and Duke will not be able to fight against the French Empire? You must know that His Majesty the Emperor is already very dissatisfied with Duke Otto, and he will not let Duke expand his territory and become the next threat in the south of the Empire!"

Hearing Count Fili's answer, the servant also replied with a faint smile on his face: "Lord Earl, our lord has actually considered the problem you said, maybe you haven't paid attention to the changes outside in Alpine City for too long, I can tell you that the Prince of Andorra is not the opponent of our Storm Army, as for the French Empire, I estimate that it no longer has the ability to conquer our Storm Castle." ”

"The Prince of Andorra is not your opponent? You must know that the current army of the Prince of Andorra is close to 50,000 people, even if it is not the current army of Alpine City, there are 40,000 people, where do you have the confidence and confidence of the Storm Castle?"

Count Fili replied a little angrily, because he felt a kind of surprise and humiliation, after all, a small territory like Storm Castle has only been developed for more than two years, and he actually said that he can fight against the Prince of Andorra, then his own mountain city has developed for so many years, and now he can't even control his army and son, Count Fili feels that this is a slap in the face.

"The Storm Army is the confidence of our Storm Castle, I just want to say one thing, now the number of the Storm Army is close to 30,000 people, and you have also been in contact with the combat effectiveness of the Storm Army, at that time, it was hard to carry your Alpine Army and the Holy See Army, do you think that after more than a year, the Storm Army will not have a little increase in strength?"

When he heard this, Count Filip collapsed directly on his seat as if he had lost all his strength. Because of the combat effectiveness of the Storm Army at the beginning, he was so impressed that he not only withstood the attack of the Holy See Army, but also defeated his own Alpine Army under the condition of being inferior in numbers.

After the end of that battle, Count Filip was very worried that Duke would directly send troops to attack Alpine City for a long time, so during that period of time, Alpine City could be described as heavily guarded, so Count Filip certainly had a very clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Storm Army.

It's just that even so, the development of today's storm army is beyond Count Fili's cognition, in a broken place like Storm Castle, it has actually developed a storm army of nearly 30,000, you must know that even when Alpine City was prosperous, it was only a 10,000 mountain army, but it was a little advantage over other lords in the cavalry force, and the mountain cavalry in this 10,000 mountain army was close to 3,000 people.

As a result, now the Storm Army is directly three times as much as himself, how did Duke do it, the porcelain profit is high, Count Fili knows, but can he support an army of 30,000 just by relying on porcelain?

However, no matter what the reason, Count Philip didn't quite think that Duke was going to lie to himself, since they had been planning for so long, according to Duke's character, Alpine City was basically in his pocket, and he must have figured out how to deal with the Prince of Andorra and the French Empire.

So at this time, Count Filip just said weakly: "Since you have already planned, then basically there is no choice for me, well, I will promise you to cooperate in opening the city gate, and I hope that Duke will be able to keep his promise at that time!"

After saying this, Count Fili's face appeared a little hideous, he looked at the inside of Storm Castle and said: "But I still have one last request, that is, Ott must be handed over to me to be executed, since Alpine City does not belong to the Fili family, then he has no value in existence!"
