The golden armor on these people is the same color as Duke's lion armor, which means that they are all members of the Otto family.

Among them, the armor on his body is slightly different, it is a bronze color. Duke knew this color because it contained the world's most precious magical material, something called dark gold.

This kind of thing is much more valuable than gold, and it has very strong magic resistance, basically a set of such armor, which can withstand the single spell attack of a high-level mage unscathed. If there are magic runes or other magic materials on it, even if the Magus attacks, it is possible to escape.

This person can wear a lion armor with dark gold, and can also walk to the middle, then his identity is simply about to come out, he is the commander of the lion army, the lord of the Duchy of Berry, and the war god of the French Empire, Duke Otto.

At the same time, he has another identity, that is, Duke's father!

Duke looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was slowly walking towards him, and he felt an uncontrollable tremor in his body. He had already thought that he had nothing special about Duke Otto, and that he could be as calm as he could see a stranger.

But in fact, this is not the case at all, this kind of inner excitement caused by the body trembling, Duke is completely unable to restrain things, and it can even be said to be an instinct. No matter how much Duke complained before, no matter how reluctant he was to mention his father, but deep in his heart, he still longed for the emotion of father's love, longing for himself to be recognized and to be the pride of his father.

So when Duke Otto really appeared in front of his eyes, this sudden outburst of emotions would be so intense and sudden!

Duke Otto naturally also saw Duke and the Storm Army, to be honest, he was unfamiliar with the young man in front of him wearing a lion armor, the last time he saw Duke was when he was thirteen years old, and now six years have passed, just six years have passed since the child changed to youth, and the change is too great.

Similarly, the Storm Army behind Duke also surprised Duke Otto, unlike the rumors that the Storm Army accepted Duke Otto's help, Otto himself understood that there was actually no help or support for the Storm Army, and this Storm Army was built entirely by Duke himself.

It is precisely because Duke Otto understands that he will be more surprised and surprised than others, Duke, a gentleman, went to the poor and white storm army, what did he rely on to create such a strong storm army, maybe except for the two main legions of the lion army, the other retinue army and the levy army are not as good as the storm army in front of him.

You must know that the retinue and levy army of the lion army are not the usual random recruitment of knights on the mainland, and then in fact, the retinue and servants are considered to be armies. The most important reason why the Lion Army was able to dominate one side of the French Empire was that the Lion Army was almost all professional troops with specialized military training.

Of course, this is not because Duke Otto was prescient and knew about the professional army system in later generations, so he adopted the professional army elite system like Duke. Rather, because the Duchy of Berry is currently located on the northern border, it is almost permanently threatened by various enemies in the north, so it needs a standing army to defend it.

Another point is that the Principality of Berry is rich in minerals, and the French Empire usually opened a certain amount of trade markets in order to make peace with its northern neighbors, much like the mutual market agreement between the Ming Dynasty and the northern Mongolia during the same period. With the help of trade and military equipment such as horses and other military equipment brought by the mutual market, the Duchy of Berry also has enough funds to maintain the standing army of the Lion Army, and after all kinds of factors, Duke's storm army can reach this level, which is simply amazing in the eyes of Duke Otto!

Duke and Duke Otto looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and the eyes and emotions of the two of them were very complicated. At this time, Alan beside Duke lightly touched Duke and whispered to him, "Lord Lord, you should salute Lord Duke." ”

Hearing Allen say this, Duke also understood that it was a very rude behavior to continue to look at each other like this. After all, not to mention the identity of his son, even according to the official status, Duke Otto is also his commander, and the storm army will be controlled by the Northern Army in the future.

So at this time, Duke jumped off his horse, stood in front of Duke Otto, and saluted him: "Duke Otto, Viscount Duke Duke of Stormcastle, I send you my noble greetings. ”

This is the standard greeting of His Majesty to the commander, but when Duke Otto heard this title, his brows were subconsciously wrinkled, the reason is very simple, that is, Duke Otto's sons, even if it was the former Duke, would not directly call him Duke Otto, an official title title, but called his father.

Duke used this title, which means that he does not agree with his fatherhood, and another point is that according to the etiquette of a son, Duke should kneel on one knee to show sincerity and respect. But Duke just stood in place and bent slightly, obviously not respectful.

"On behalf of the Northern Territory of the Empire, I welcome the Storm Army and Viscount Duke to bring it, and at the same time, the Storm Army will change the Second Army of the Empire, Alan, you lead the Storm Army to the Imperial barracks area. ”

Duke Otto, as an iron-blooded duke, naturally would not be hypocritical because of this kind of thing, he also called Duke with an official title, and even gave orders directly to Allen. After all, compared to Duke, Alan may be more familiar to him, you must know that Alan served as a personal guard by Duke Otto's side for more than ten years before coming to Stormcastle.

Originally, Duke Otto thought that after he gave the order, with his prestige and identity as the head of the family, Alan would definitely directly lead the storm army to the Imperial army camp.

What he didn't expect was that after Alan heard his order, he replied respectfully to Duke Otto: "Understood, Lord Duke." ”

But after Allen said this, he didn't act or order, but turned to Duke beside him and said, "Lord Lord, are you leading the Storm Army to the Imperial Army camp to station?"

"Go ahead and deal with the Imperial Army. ”

Duke knew that he was coming, and it was definitely impossible for him to leave directly, no matter what his relationship with his father was, but on the surface he was still the son of Duke Otto, and with the relationship of his subordinates, how could he go to the big tent to do "inaugural narration" or "reception banquet".

Therefore, this kind of matter of handing over and changing guards with the imperial army will be handed over to Allen to deal with directly, and this kind of thing will not have any problems for Allen.
