"Viscount Duke, did you give this to me to let me intercept them?"

Kabu asked with a smile, in fact, the answer was clear in both sides.

"That's right, Captain Kabu, since I can't take the initiative to attack, then this matter can only be done by you. Moreover, the Franco-Imperial Army revealed the marching route of the Storm Army, and now I have revealed the marching route of the Imperial Army to you as a level. ”

After saying this, Duke also showed a mysterious smile on his face and continued: "Commander Kabu, I believe you won't just take a look at this march map. ”

In fact, having said that, the intentions of both sides are obvious, that is, the Hans Empire wants Duke to make the first move and let them pick up the bargain. But Duke obviously found a reason to push back this method, after all, the risk is too high, unless it is a stick to kill the French Empire, otherwise he will be in trouble behind him.

In fact, even if he was killed, the Hans Empire would definitely tolerate his existence? Other empires would not guard themselves in the future? This is a thing that will do more harm than good, and even if he doesn't make a move, Duke will not be stupid enough to do it directly.

And Duke's idea was also expressed, that is, to expose the marching route of the Imperial Army and the Lion Army, and see if the Hans Empire would eat this piece of fat. If you eat the Hans Empire, you will make a lot of money, and the northern border of the entire French Empire will collapse on the whole line, which can be said to be like entering a no-man's land.

The best outcome for Emperor Fran was to release the entire northern territory and gather heavy troops to rely on the imperial fortress and fortress to hold on. However, in this way, the entire Fran Empire will lose nearly half of its territory, and even if it is defended, it will slowly die in the future confrontation and attrition, so it is only a matter of time before the Falan Empire falls.

It's just that now the head of the Kabu sub-regiment doesn't dare to make a rash decision, in case this is a trap for the Storm Army, after all, he is the son of Duke Otto, and the relationship is much closer than with the Hans Empire. This is a matter of high risk and benefit, and the smile on Kabu's face faded as he began to think about it carefully.

Seeing the hesitant expression on the face of the head of the Kabu sub-group, Duke could only add more strength at this time and said, "Captain Kabu, I know what you are worried about. Let me tell you this, I did not come to the Northern Defense Line for any Duke of Otto, let alone for the French Empire, but for the sake of trading with the barbarians. I can tell you unabashedly, I am not only connected with you, but also with the barbarians, if you don't believe it, you can verify it, and when you have the results, you will naturally believe me. ”

Hearing Duke's words, Kabu was a little surprised on his face, he really didn't expect that Duke was not "forced to rebel", but had already made small moves behind his back.

But he definitely can't reply now, after all, he has to report to Duke Blair of the Black Eagle Army, and even His Majesty the Emperor of the Hans Empire, only after discussion at the top can Kabu give a final answer.

"I am grateful for Viscount Duke's frankness, but this matter is very important, so we in the Hans Empire need a detailed plan, and we can only give Viscount Duke an accurate answer after I go back and report to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Hearing this, Duke nodded, which was also something he expected, but he still added: "Commander Kabu, the offensive plan is only about a month away, even if you Black Eagle Army make a decision, you still have to consider logistics, so I hope you can give an answer as soon as possible, otherwise this opportunity will be missed." ”

"This is inevitable, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. ”

The head of the Kabu sub-regiment promised, and he also knew that this opportunity was fleeting.

At this point, the conversation basically came to an end, and Duke looked at the back of Ka'b leaving, and he was a little hesitant in his heart. The most important step in this is actually whether the Hans Empire is willing to send troops, if they are willing, even if the barbarians behind do not succeed, they can let the Hans Empire and the Fran Empire fight each other, and they can sneak attack the Hans Empire at that time, at most, there is almost no way to achieve it with their own empty gloves and war horses.

But once the Hans Empire refused, the rest of the plan would be all in vain. However, Duke also made a backup plan, that is, to tell the barbarians about the attack plans of the Imperial Army and the Lion Army, so that they would lose both and reap the benefits for themselves. However, in this case, the ultimate beneficiary will be the Hans Empire.

Unlike the barbarians, the Hans Empire was not limited to plunder, but to occupy directly. It is conceivable that once the raid of the French Empire becomes a tough confrontation with the barbarians, or even surrounded, then after suffering huge losses, it will be unable to resist the attack of the Hans Empire, and the entire north may still face a war.

This is also something that Duke tried to avoid before, and it can be regarded as the last bit of affection between him as a courtier of the French Empire and the son of Duke Otto. So all this depends on the determination and ambition of the Hans Empire, and it is also the last choice that Duke is forced to have no choice of, after all, between the Fran Empire and his own Storm Castle, Duke can only choose Storm Castle, if he doesn't do this, then it will be the Storm Army who will be besieged by the exposed news.

Just one day after Duke's meeting with Kabu, Allen, who had gone to the Barbarian Tribe, also returned, and he came to convey the opinion of the Barbarian Grand Shaman Alatan, and the Barbarians agreed to attack the Hans Empire and the Northern Legion of the French Empire.

For the unification of the barbarians, Duke is not surprised, this is a truly normal thing. Because this time the attack of the French Empire itself is aimed at the barbarians, whether they agree or not, there is a high possibility of a war with the French Empire, relying on the character of the barbarians and the fact that they may still be in a strong position at present, it is impossible to be afraid of this war.

And this plan, on the surface, the most beneficial is the barbarians, not only do they know the attack plan of the French Empire legion, but also have plenty of choice and the offensive period, as long as the leader of the barbarian has no problem with his head, it is inevitable to agree.

Therefore, Duke did not go to meet the barbarian great shaman Alatan in person, but only asked Alan to solve this matter, firstly, because Alan was familiar with them, and secondly, this matter was not very difficult, and the barbarian had no reason to refuse.

After dealing with the barbarian side, Duke's storm army also began to make the last preparations, that is, when the Hans Empire really rejected its plan, the storm army will stand with the Imperial Northern Legion, and strive to defeat the barbarian army as quickly as possible, or build another line of defense to prevent the Hans Empire's Black Hawk Army from sneak attack. In a word, it is not yet time to turn the other cheek with the French Empire.
