Duke's last sentence can be said to be a sentence that two memories want to say together, that is, Duke is a straw bag, or the disgraceful identity of the Otto family, which will be completely abandoned from this moment on.

He finally had the opportunity to say this to his genius eldest brother, and the younger brother who would always look up to Baker in the future would no longer exist.

Baker looked at the back of Duke leaving, he felt so strange, maybe he didn't have much brotherly affection for Duke, but he was not like Teucer, who regarded Baker as inferior to an outsider, and could even put Duke to death for the sake of power.

As the eldest son, he was destined to inherit the status and identity of Duke Otto, but lived under the aura of Duke Otto. No matter how good he is, he is also Otto's genius son in the praise of the world, not the genius Baker.

While enjoying the praise of the world, Baker also took on too much, and it can even be said that the future of the Otto family is on his shoulders. So in a sense, in addition to the glory of the Otto family, he, like Duke, wants to prove that he himself is not relying on the aura of Duke Otto, but stronger than his father.

At this moment, he saw his own shadow in Duke's body, and this younger brother had indeed changed.

......

With the collapse of the Eleventh Legion and the Frontier Knights, the Silver Moon Army also suffered heavy casualties and had no way to continue the campaign. The only thing to be thankful for was that they also inflicted heavy losses on the Spartan legions, maintaining the flanks of Prince Edward's troops and avoiding the collapse of the Seine defense line throughout the empire.

After a night of repairs in Andorra City, the Silver Moon Army will also withdraw to Silver Moon City, and the short intersection of the two brothers will end here, and I don't know when they will meet again next time.

I don't know why, Duke obviously felt that he didn't like Baker very much, and felt that this guy was pretending to be too much and stealing all the limelight, but when Baker left, he still felt a kind of loneliness. Perhaps, in the depths of his memory, the original Duke still has a brotherly feeling, after all, this is the genius big brother he once looked up to immensely.

The Silver Moon Army is about to leave, and Duke naturally won't stay in Andorra City for long, to be honest, Duke is really afraid that the Prince of Andorra will hack him, and then take over the Storm Castle in an all-round way, so he still quickly leads the Storm Army back to his lair.

At the same time, with the exposure of his strength this time, it will be inconvenient to be the king and hegemon in the future in the Storm Castle Mountain, and he will face a lot of pressure on the mainland, and Storm Castle will face greater challenges in the future.

However, as Duke was about to leave the city, he saw Princess Gina chasing after him, escorted by the royal knights. In fact, Duke has always wanted to find a chance to catch up with Jina, but out of the environment of Storm Castle, the gap between identity and status finally appeared, and neither he nor Jina could fight as unscrupulously as before in front of outsiders.

"Adams, just stay here for a moment, I have a few words to say to Viscount Duke. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess. Adams didn't say much, and now he was more comfortable with Duke.

Duke also let Alan Cassel and the others stay where they were, riding alone and walking with Princess Gina on the snow outside Andorra. Yesterday it smelled like hell, but today it is spotless white as it snows overnight.

The two of them just rode and walked, I don't know why, and suddenly faced so alone, Duke didn't know what to say, but looked a little embarrassed.

But Princess Gina was the first to break the silence, and said to Duke: "Straw bale, I really didn't expect Storm Castle to change so much, to be honest, I can't believe my eyes when your Storm Army appears." ”

If Duke had heard the name straw bale before, his heart was full of unhappiness, but now he feels a kind of cordiality, maybe as he shows more and more lord authority, there are fewer and fewer people joking with him.

"Vase, you're not bad, you can lead the army to fight by yourself. ”

Hearing Duke's words, Princess Jina silently lowered her head: "But the first time I led the army to fight, it almost led to the annihilation of the entire army. ”

Seeing Jina's state, Duke knew that he had said the wrong thing, it wasn't that he couldn't open a pot, so he quickly explained: "Actually, it's not your fault, I can only say that I was unlucky to run into the Spartan Legion, and the Prince of Andorra didn't cooperate with the attack, otherwise it would be the Spartan Legion that would have been wiped out." ”

As soon as Duke spoke, Jina shook her head and said with a wry smile on her face: "You don't have to comfort me, defeat is defeat, in fact, this also made me understand that war is not as simple as I imagined before." Seriously, if it weren't for your eldest brother Baker's Silver Moon Army, the Eleventh Legion would have been defeated long ago, and now the hinterland of the empire would be planted with the flag of the Milan Empire. ”

Looking at Ji Na's painful appearance, Duke just showed a faint smile and did not speak, in fact, it is normal for Ji Na to suffer defeat, she is just a teenage girl, but she suddenly became the commander of the first army. The problem is that the army led by him is far inferior to the elite of the opponent, and it would be unscientific to win the opponent.

"A famous person once said that failure is the mother of success, and with your first experience of leading a battle, failure is not an unacceptable thing, and you may become a goddess of war in the future. ”

"That is, how can this princess fail forever!" Ji Na raised her head and made a proud little princess look. This is also what Duke admires very much about Gina, who never gives up easily, whether it is the original Storm Castle or the plight of the encounter in Andorra City.

"But Duke, who is this celebrity, if you even know about this straw bag, how can I not have heard of it?"

This sentence shattered the little appreciation that had just been born in Duke's heart, and he replied angrily: "I used to say that you are a vase and have no culture, and you don't believe it, but if you read more books, you will naturally know some celebrity remarks, do you know?"

"No way, I don't remember any celebrity who has ever said this, it can't be that you made it up, right?"

"If you don't have culture, you have to admit it, can I make up famous sayings?"

The two of them, because of a famous quote that only appeared in later generations, fell into the bickering situation when they were in Stormcastle.

After arguing with each other for a few words, Princess Jina suddenly changed her voice and said, "Duke, thank you for helping me collect the rout of the Eleventh Legion yesterday, but I didn't expect that I, the commander, would not even be able to do this in the end." What's more, I've received a magic order from my father, and I'm about to retreat to Marseille. ”
