Duke looked coldly at the army rushing in his direction, the second regiment of the Storm Army, which had been preparing to gather and surround the barracks, also changed direction at this time, and began to assemble in the direction of Marseille City, starting a battle readiness queue.

This is also a training rule of Stormcastle, as long as it is not clear that it is a friendly army, any unknown army will be treated as an enemy.

The troops in the distance saw that the Storm Army began to line up for battle, and they also changed their marching formation and entered a combat state, and the two sides began to face each other.

But at this moment, Princess Gina rode a war horse and ran towards Duke, shouting at him: "Duke, opposite is the army of the Count of Bute, the lord of Marseille, don't be injured by mistake." ”

Hearing Princess Gina's reminder, Duke was unmoved, and still let the Storm Army line up for battle, looking at the Maasai Army waitingly.

On the other side of the Marseille army, Count Bute also looked at the storm army in front of him with a cold face. Earl Bute, who is thirty-five years old today, is the eldest son of Duke Carman of the Duchy of Bute, unlike the previous Duke who was a straw bag, Count Butet is almost the heir to the duke, and he has always been cultivated according to the duke's heir, and he has a noble temperament that is not angry and arrogant.

This time, when the army was dispatched, he also saw an unknown army in the distance rushing towards Marseille City, so he began to lead the army to guard. However, judging from the current situation, this army should also be subordinate to the French Empire.

Moreover, in terms of equipment alone, the army in front of him is almost not inferior to the most elite private army of any big lord. But what really surprised Count Bute was the other party's military flag, in the memory of Count Bute, there was only one lion-headed flag in the entire French Empire, and that was the Imperial Marshal Duke Otto.

Even if it was his son, he only added the symbol of his fief next to the lion's head flag, such as the silver moon, maple leaf, etc., like this silver lion's head military flag, he had seen it for the first time, and he had never heard of the Otto family, there was a lion army using the silver military flag.

Duke also looked at the Marseille army in front of him, this army in front of him was about 3,000 people, which was completely different from the waste of the Eleventh Legion, and it could be seen from the most basic array that the Marseille army was highly disciplined. And the equipment is not weak, the cavalry is basically full armor, and the infantry can also achieve half iron armor, which has reached the average level of this world.

Of course, it can't be compared with the plate armor equipped by a semi-industrial assembly line like Storm Castle, and it should be said that in addition to the Royal Army and the Holy See Army, there are basically few territories in this world that have such wealth as Storm Castle.

Count Bute naturally saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally stepped forward first, and said to Princess Jina: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't you know which lord's army this one is, Duke Otto's lion army?"

"No, they're the Storm Army led by Viscount Duke. ”

When he heard this term, Count Bute thought for a moment in his mind, and he did not remember which nobleman Viscount Duke was. In fact, this can't be blamed on Count Bute, after all, the group of gentlemen in the imperial capital is too far away from him, and it is impossible for him to pay attention to these people. In addition, the Storm Castle to which Duke belongs, for most of the territory of the French Empire, is a distant land, and it is normal not to know about it.

"Since you are the lord of the Fran Empire, you should know the rules between the territories, you trespassed on the territory of Marseille City!"

Although the lords of this world are vassals of the same country, they are in fact independent small kingdoms. Unless it is ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself and with the consent of the supreme lord of the territory, the entry of the armies of other lords can be regarded as an invasion.

"Count Bute, Viscount Duke came over to quell the rebellion on my orders, so it can't be counted as an invasion of the territory. And seriously, the reason for the rebellion, Lord Earl, you should know it in your heart, and I believe you don't want to make a big deal about it. ”

Princess Jina's words, sure enough, the expression on Count Bute's face changed, in fact, this situation was also something he didn't expect, he just wanted to use the method of reducing supplies to force Emperor Fran to order the army led by Jina to leave, but he didn't expect that this group of routs really dared to rebel.

Persecution by interrupting supplies will only be reprimanded by Emperor Fran in the future, and it doesn't matter much if it doesn't hurt or not. But if the mutiny results in the murder of Princess Jina, this matter will be in big trouble. As long as the French Empire did not fall, Henry VII, as the Emperor of France, could not allow such a thing to happen for the sake of royal majesty and face, and it was very likely that the city of Marseille would be conquered and cause bad consequences.

After thinking for a while, the Lord of Marseille said coldly: "Since it was Princess Jina who ordered the rebellion, then I won't say anything, but they can only stay in the territory of Marseille for three days, if there is no evacuation or an order from the emperor's name, I will deal with it according to the invaders, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can abide by the laws of the empire." ”

After saying this, the Count of Bute directly reined in the Marseille army, and then the entire Marseille army began to retreat back to the city.

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the Marseille Lord, Duke was extremely unhappy in his heart, what is the so-called invasion of the territory, if it weren't for the difficulty of Jina, he would not be willing to come, wouldn't it be nice to be the king of the mountain in Storm Castle?

But in order to take care of Jina's face, Duke could only endure it, after all, the army he led rebelled, which was also a very shameful thing. It's just that Duke doesn't understand a little, what does Gina mean when he said that the reason for the rebellion is that the Lord of Marseille also has a number in his heart, could it be that the Count of Bute is behind the rebellion?

However, doing such a risky thing must have a considerable benefit in return, and Duke can't figure out what is the benefit of Princess Jina's accident, and the Lord of Marseille may even be burned. It seems that if you want to find out what happened, you can only wait and ask Gena.

Seeing Count Bute leading the army back to the city, Gina also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, because the rash invasion of the storm army really had the potential to trigger a war between the two territories.

Now that the situation has calmed down, Gina looked back at Duke and said with an unspeakable wry smile on her face, "Duke, thank you for saving me again." ”

Seeing Ji Na's demeanor, Duke didn't feel good in his heart, obviously the blow of this period of time made Ji Na lose the confident and energetic state she had at the beginning.

So Duke replied in a joking tone: "You're welcome, I didn't owe you money for too long, and I came to pay the bill because I had a troubled conscience, after all, I, Du, am a trustworthy person!"
