As a frontier castle like Storm Castle, the most feared thing for the residents inside is the invasion of monsters. Once the Ice Demons assemble to attack the border, it means that blood and death will fall.

So every year in winter, the farmers and people of the surrounding farms will enter the storm castle for refuge, and at the same time, the Imperial Border Knights launched a conscription operation in the autumn, and the knights and sergeants began to assemble to resist the attack of the ice demon and other monsters.

If the situation is urgent, the Holy See Priests will also go to the border, and the white magic and holy light they control will inflict the greatest damage on the dark magic creatures such as the Ice Devil, and it is also the most effective way to attack. It's just that in this world, magicians are also a very precious profession, unless the storm fortress is breached and the evil creatures continue to march inland, otherwise the Holy See will not let the priesthood enter the battle to consume.

However, in Duke's memories before, there was another group of people who had mastered the mysteries of magic, and that was wizards. But the wizards are in this world, and the Holy See has judged them to be blasphemers, stealing the magical power inherited from the gods, and hunting them all over the world, with little hope.

This is why ordinary people panic when they hear the ice demon assembly, because all they can rely on is mundane armed forces, and it is very difficult for ordinary armed forces to fight against powerful evil creatures, even with the support of castles.

"Adams, you go and get ready, I'll give a speech to the residents of Stormcastle later, telling them that the Imperial Princess will stay with them in Stormcaste!"

Ji Na said this sentence without hesitation, her identity in this case is the best guarantee for ordinary people to stabilize. The fact that the royal princesses are staying in the castle means that the empire will not give up on them!

"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"

After Adams finished speaking, he planned to leave to prepare the princess's speech, and as for Duke, the lord, it was not in his consideration at all. At this time, straw bales are unreliable, and only Her Royal Highness the princess has stepped forward to preside over the overall situation.

"Stop!"

Duke stopped Adams, this feeling of being ignored made him very unhappy, he is the lord of Storm Castle, can the lord not come forward for such a thing as war mobilization? Although he doesn't want to be a great man, he definitely doesn't want to be looked down upon as a straw bale!

"What are you going to do?" Gina looked at Duke with red eyes, didn't this guy recognize his own strength, and he wanted to make trouble at such a critical time?

Duke looked Gina in the eye and replied in a firm tone, "I am the lord of Stormcastle, my fiefdom and my people. Your Highness Princess, this kind of thing should make me responsible for my own people, and my territory will listen to me!"

Hearing Duke's words, Ji Na was directly stunned, this is a famous straw bale in the French Empire, she usually only eats, drinks and has fun, and she can't avoid it, how can she take the initiative to take her responsibility this time?

But Duke's previous reputation was so bad that Princess Gina didn't dare to trust him to do anything good. Still retorted: "You have to understand, it's not ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly noticed that Duke's head was stretched forward, almost on her face, and she stopped the words from her mouth. At the same time, Adams saw Duke's disrespectful behavior towards the princess, and directly pulled out the long sword at his waist and put it on Duke's neck, as long as he insulted the princess a little next, Adams would kill Duke on the spot and fulfill his duty as a guardian knight.

Perhaps hearing the loud sound of the sword being drawn out of its sheath, Sergeant Major Allen, who was guarding at the end of the corridor, also rushed over as soon as possible. When he saw the long sword around Duke's neck, he didn't hesitate to pull out his long sword and aim it at Adams. As Duke's family retinue, it is also his mission to serve the head of the family.

Faced with the tense situation, Duke only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and still said unmoved in Princess Jina's ear: "I don't know if you have heard of a sentence, that is, war makes women go away." ”

After saying this, Duke didn't care about Jina's reaction, just straightened up and walked out of the hall of the side hall, leaving Jina who was still in shock.

Walking out of the side hall, if it weren't for Alan still following him, Duke couldn't help but cheer. If you want to score this pretending act just now, then Duke has to give himself a full score, a confident smile, a calm tone, and a calm departure, everything is so uninhibited and chic!

Let this little girl look down on herself, this routine just now is simply an actor-level performance, fortunately, there is no Oscar in this world, otherwise she will be re-won!

However, when Duke learned from Allen that the Ice Demon had several times the strength and speed of ordinary people, as well as intermediate swordsmanship, he began to regret his previous pretense. Immediately after knowing that there might not only be ice demons among the attacking evil creatures, but also dark creatures that could resurrect the dead to fight, Duke simply regretted that he didn't do it at the beginning, and the memory in his mind didn't say that the evil creatures were so powerful at all!

But think about it, the previous gentleman was drunk and dreamed of death in the prosperous capital of the French Empire, and it would be good to know that there was an evil creature like the Ice Demon on the border, how could he know more about the situation, anyway, he couldn't reach the capital of the empire.

I pretended to be forced to finish it with tears. What's more, if Storm Castle is really breached, then his fate will be no different from that of ordinary people, his status may be different, but there is only one life.

"Allen, gather the City Lord's Guard, call on the territory residents to gather in the Garden Square, I will conduct the first city starring speech, tell everyone that the Storm Lord will never back down!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Alan responded excitedly that when Duke became a viscount to take office in the fiefdom, and Duke Otto chose himself as Sergeant Major Duke, almost everyone felt sorry for themselves, and followed a noble son with little prospects.

But now, Alan sees the resolute and brave shadow of Duke Otto in Duke, which is the temperament that the heirs of the Otto family should have!
