After hearing Duke's suggestion, the panic in Kasmai's heart began to gradually calm down, he is now a grasshopper on a rope with Duke, this kind of thing must help Duke cover up.

What's more, it doesn't seem like it's a bad life with Duke, after all, he was just a bishop who was not valued and used to send him to death, and he couldn't see any hope in a place like Storm Castle, so he waited for the day when the Ice Demon broke through Storm Castle and died.

When Duke arrived, not only did he change the status quo of Storm Castle, but he also got much better after the economy. Just like if Carsmail put aside his beliefs, he would be much more comfortable than before, and he didn't have to worry about the ice devil attacking one day, and now Carsmail has changed from the initial coercion to voluntary and active.

"Alright, I'll do as you say, my lord. ”

Kasmeer answered, then went out to reply to Cardinal Leonard's magical message.

But at this time, Duke stopped Carsmail and said: "By the way, Carsmail, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you, the churches and the Inquisition in Alpine City are a hidden danger to us after all, and we must find a way to replace them with our own people." ”

Hearing Duke's request, Carsmail's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he said to Duke: "Lord Lord, the church in this mountain city plus the Inquisition is not the size of the dozen or so people in Storm Castle, there are hundreds of people in it, and it is too difficult to replace them all. ”

"It's hard to find a way, you can use money to corrupt them with women, if this still doesn't work, you can only force replacement, you have to train a group of loyal Storm Castle priests to come out. Of course, in order not to attract attention, this time span can be put on a few months to a year or two. And you can also use Ole to make a fuss and tell Cardinal Leonard that many of them are supporters of Ole, and you have to replace them with a group of your own. ”

Duke said so much just for the last paragraph, after all, the direct replacement is still too obvious, it is better to simply show his selfishness and tell Leonard what he thinks, so maybe Leonard will trust him more, and even support Carsmai to do so.

"I try my best to do that. ”

Kasmai nodded, this kind of thing is also related to his net worth, after all, he didn't want to be stabbed by other priests for these things he did in Storm Castle. Therefore, people must be replaced, just to see how to ensure that all of them are replaced.

"By the way, Carsmai, what is the matter with this special magic teleportation of your Holy See, can you make a copy of it for Stormcastle?"

This time, Duke set his sights on the Holy See's magic teleportation, which was comparable to the mobile phones of later generations, and even surpassed the various radios of the Second World War, after all, the transmission distance was also a little too far. If there is such a thing, then Duke's communication with the territorial army in the future will be much faster and easier, and the reaction speed of Storm Castle will also be qualitatively improved, which is really convenient.

"I don't know about this, because the design of every church in the Holy See is built by a special light mage, and the magic array in the Holy See is even more secretive, it is estimated that the archbishop level is not well understood, and it must reach the cardinal level, so it is difficult. ”

Hearing Cassmai's answer, Duke's face showed a sense of disappointment, after all, this kind of thing was so convenient.

Just when Duke thought it was no fun, Kasmai continued at this time: "Although there is no way for ordinary people to know, there must be similar magic in the elven clan, because they are the teachers of human magic, as long as they can find a top elven mage, it is very likely to know the mystery of this magic transmission." ”

"I see, you can go down. ”

Duke nodded, and his mind began to think of the original elven royal family, not whether they were already in power after parting from the imperial capital. However, this kind of elven civil war, and attacking strong enemies with weakness, is probably not so easy to handle. It seems that only when I see Gandalf, I will find a way to ask him.

By the middle of December, the snow at Storm Castle was getting heavier and heavier, and almost all roads were covered in snow. There is still no news from the Andorran army, but the current situation where the roads are covered by heavy snow can basically be judged to be much less likely to be attacked by the Andorran army.

After all, in this kind of heavy snow and road closure scenario, the logistics of the Andorran army will be a big problem, and they will not risk the logistics being interrupted by the storm army at any time to attack. You must know that Duke now controls almost half of the resources of the Prince of Andorra, and the Prince of Andorra can't afford to lose even if he wants to be stronger.

Once this battle is lost, the offensive and defensive momentum may be completely reversed, and Duke is also very thoughtful about Andorra City, after all, as long as Andorra City is occupied, then the territory will increase exponentially, and the population will reach the scale of five million people, this volume is already a big lord on the Europa continent, and it also has the capital to compete for hegemony in the future!

Duke's Storm Fort fell into a period of stability, but the situation of the French Empire was already very bad, because with the arrival of heavy snow, the four northern barbarian khanates were completely united this time, and together they sent a large army to attack the French Empire and plunder.

In the face of such a strong attack, even the Hans Empire, which had thoughts about the Fran Empire before, was forced to stand in the same alliance with the Fran Empire to resist the barbarian attack because of the pressure factor. After all, now it is not a question of one Silver Horde, but of the four great khanates.

Once the Franco-Empire perishes, perhaps these barbarians will not be satisfied with the Franco-Empire, but will also have thoughts about the Hans Empire. You must know that the lords bordering the Hans Empire and the Fran Empire cannot all have fortress defenses, once they are caught by the barbarian cavalry and rush into the hinterland to ransack, it will be a huge loss for the Hans Empire.

And the scene that the Hans Empire was afraid of was exactly the scene that the French Empire was experiencing. Because of Henry VII's long-term suspicion of Duke Otto and the constant small actions in secret, Duke Otto finally launched his own counterattack means. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Duke ripped off the fig leaf of Henry VII when he was at the Great Horde Conference, and put such a thing as conspiracy on the bright side.

So this time the barbarian attack, the lion army took a very conservative posture, just guarding the fortress and fortress, and even watching the barbarian army pass, it didn't hit their logistics, it was regarded as opening the door to let them in!
