373 My strength
Sure enough, after hearing this sentence from his father, Tok's face turned green, whether Duke intended or not, it showed that he was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was still deliberately aimed at himself.
Perhaps because he calmed down to the point of anger, Teucer did not continue to sarcastically mock Duke at this time, because without knowing the opponent, he would say too much and make more mistakes, and then he would become Duke's background board, making the generals of the Lion Army look down on him.
But Duke Otto and the generals of the Lion Army have obviously been intrigued by Duke's words, and it is incredible that Storm Castle has tens of thousands of warriors, as well as alien soldiers such as dwarves and fishmen, and even have built watchtowers in the Valley of Monsters.
"Duke, if I'm not mistaken, the Storm Army was only about a thousand people this time last year, and in the early years of this year, Storm Castle was able to grow so rapidly?"
This sentence was not asked by Tok, nor by Duke Otto, but by the eldest brother Baker, who had not spoken. Originally, according to his character, if Duke was strong, he would only be dissatisfied and quickly improve himself, instead of being extreme or even sarcastic like Teucer, because it was meaningless and would make others look down on him.
But what Duke said today is so amazing that it is even a little beyond the comprehension of the average person. Baker was also a person who had seen a lot of elites in the Empire, and he really couldn't imagine how Duke could do this without foreign aid.
"Big brother, I still have a sentence here, it's called Shibei three days to be impressed, you haven't seen me in your early years, of course Storm Castle won't stand still. You only saw the Storm Army attacking the Valley of the Monsters, but you didn't know how many battles the Storm Army had fought with the Ice Demon in the past year, let alone the current development of the Storm Castle. ”
"I can only say that the changes in this world are beyond your imagination, and you will get used to them after all. ”
When Duke said this, he always had a faint smile on his face, and from this moment on, the admiration and admiration for the genius big brother Baker in Duke's heart finally completely dissipated. Because Duke can say without exaggeration that the Storm Army, which has been developed for less than two years, has surpassed the Silver Moon Army of the genius big brother, and from today onwards, the Storm Army will be the strongest army of Duke Otto's three sons!
When Duke said this, the whole camp was silent, just as Duke said, everyone in the tent did not know Duke and Stormcastle, and even looked at Duke's so-called "straw bale" with colored glasses, and maintained a skeptical attitude towards all his achievements.
It's also ironic to say it, and the one who knows Duke best here may be the second brother Tock who has been wanting to kill Duke. Sure enough, sometimes, the enemy is the one who knows him best. But even Teucer, in this Middle Ages, could not update the information in a timely manner.
After all, after the last ice demon attack, Storm Castle can be described as an explosive growth of desperate efforts, this kind of spending millions of gold coins to expand the army at once, it is simply unimaginable to change to other territories, but Duke did it.
Especially Duke Otto, he has always set his eyes on Duke, but it is becoming more and more strange, he never thought that his uncompetitive son could create such an achievement by his own efforts.
When it comes to this point, there is actually not much to say, and if you ask it again, it is ignorance of Storm Castle. In fact, just these things that Duke just said, it is estimated that everyone here will have to digest them carefully, which is really too sensational.
That's the end of the questioning about Duke, and in the rest of the time, we basically start talking about the main thing, that is, about the garrison of the Storm Army.
Now the Storm Army is facing a more embarrassing situation, that is, the Storm Army is theoretically changing the Second Army of the Empire, but in fact, the Storm Army cannot be regarded as the sequence of the Imperial Army. You must know that the supply and command of the Imperial Army before were all the commander of the Imperial Guard, Marquis Patton.
Although Duke Otto is theoretically the supreme commander of the Imperial Northern Legion, in order to avoid suspicion and at the same time as a precaution, the Imperial Army and the Lion Army led by the Principality of Berry are basically two sets of command systems, and only in wartime, Duke Otto will take over the supreme command.
Now that the Storm Army is alone in the Imperial Army's position, it is more difficult to command and communicate. Either Duke chooses to face a double territory, or it is neither. However, in military affairs, Duke Otto has always been a strict person, and he can't do this kind of thing that he can't let go.
Therefore, the supply and garrison plan of the Duke Storm Army, Duke Otto had made a detailed plan before Duke came, this time it was for Duke to hear.
Duke has no objections to these garrison plans, as long as he doesn't let the Storm Army be cannon fodder to take the initiative to attack the Hans Empire, then Duke doesn't matter, anyway, he has another purpose. There is also the issue of supply, if Duke Otto is willing to supply, Duke will not be polite.
If Duke Otto is unwilling or wants to refrain from such a move, Duke will grit his teeth and persist even if he uses the Storm Wagon to supply for long distances, because the future of the Storm Fortress cavalry is at stake.
So Duke accepted all these things, and since Duke had no objections, there was nothing to say, and it was time for this meeting to come to an end.
Duke walked out of the commander's tent, and he was going to the Imperial Army's garrison camp to lead the Storm Army in the next defense plan. When saying goodbye, Duke Otto walked up to Duke, put his hand on Duke's shoulder and said, "Time flies so fast, I didn't expect you to grow up." ”
If Duke Otto said something else, Duke would have been able to respond calmly, but he never expected Duke Otto to say such a sentence, and in an instant Duke froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing Duke's stunned look, Duke Otto's face showed a wry smile: "After going to the Imperial Army's defense line, deal with it carefully, the barbarians and the Hans Empire are not easy to mess with, if you really encounter any difficulties, the Imperial Army can't help you solve them, you can send someone to tell me." Anyway, this is your hometown, and the Lion Army is also your backing. ”
When he heard this sentence, Duke felt a kind of emotion in his heart, and also a kind of aggrieved anger, this sentence was too late for him!
