"Count Bout, long time no see. ”

Duke looked at the mighty 3,000 Maasai troops in front of him, and greeted him with a smile on his face, feeling quite relaxed. After all, this is not the situation when he led the second regiment of the Storm Army on an expedition that had not been fought in actual combat, and now the three thousand soldiers and two thousand logistics troops around Duke have exceeded the military strength of the entire Marseille City in a sense, and if you have strength, you will naturally have confidence, so Duke is very relaxed.

Facing Duke to greet him, this time Count Bute didn't look as cold as before, but reluctantly squeezed out a smile on his face and replied: "Viscount Duke, I didn't expect you to change so much after a year. ”

Thinking that even in the presence of Princess Gina at the beginning, Count Bute was arrogant and indifferent, and issued an expulsion order to the Storm Army that they could only stay for three days, and only a quarter of Princess Guina's supplies were left. As a result, now that the strength has reversed, in the face of Duke's powerful storm army, Earl Bute can no longer say such tough words.

"yes, it's been a year, and I didn't expect us to meet again. Count Bout, I feel like I'm too late to see you, why don't we go to Marseille and sit down?"

When Duke said this, Earl Bout's face changed instantly. He had originally come to deter Duke and send away this plague god in an instant. As a result, I didn't expect that Duke also took the initiative to say that he was going to Marseille City to sit, is this a provocation to himself?

Thinking of this, the smile on Count Bute's face froze, and his tone became very stiff and replied: "Viscount Duke, the northern border is under a lot of pressure right now, I think you should rush to the border as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the imperial border." ”

Seeing Count Bute like this, Duke had a dark feeling in his heart, after all, this grandson was extremely arrogant in front of him, and even gave himself an ultimatum that he must be evacuated within three days.

Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, and now that he has led a large army over, if he hadn't rushed to the northern border to trade horses, Duke really planned to stay in Marseille City for a few more days to stimulate this Count of Bute.

"Since you have said so, Count Bute, and I am also a person who cares about the situation in the Empire, then I will not bother Lord Count this time. When the northern border calms down, I'll pay a good visit!"

Hearing Duke say that he was still visiting, Count Bute's face became more and more ugly, but Duke didn't have the heart to continue to tease, turned his horse's head and gave orders to the Storm Army, and continued to move towards the border of the Duchy of Berry.

In fact, the border area of the Principality of Berry is not the first time that the Storm Army has set foot in it, and the last time the refugees were recruited, the Second Regiment of the Storm Army led by Fei Duo had 500 Storm Army soldiers and hundreds of Storm wagons to come here to accept refugees.

And last time I had some unpleasant experiences with Baron Colin, the general of the Maple Leaf Army under Teucer, and today Duke will personally set foot in the Duchy of Berry, and I don't know what will happen.

Four days later, Duke led the 5,000 Storm Army to the frontier of the Duchy of Berry. Looking at the golden lion-headed battle flag from afar, Duke suddenly had an indescribable complex feeling in his heart, this lion-headed flag carried too many emotions from another Duke.

Childhood, family, honor, abandonment, depravity, etc., these experiences and emotions are not countable, even if the former Duke is in the past tense, but these emotions still can't help but emerge when they see this lion's head flag.

In fact, Duke can understand this emotion very well now, because he is just a small person in another world. Naturally, he understands what it's like to be despised and given up, which is why he wants to prove himself so much!

However, this time there was no Maple Leaf Army, but the regular Earl Fleck, the first commander of the Lion Army. As Duke Otto's rookie subordinate and the commander of the most powerful First Legion of the Lion Army, Count Fleck took the initiative to ask Ying to accept this task, because he had also seen Duke when he was a child, and he was really curious about how this well-known straw bale in the imperial capital went to a Jedi like Storm Castle again, and how to form a storm army.

Count Fleck saw from afar what looked like a long dragon, and then the metallic glow of the Storm Armor reflected off the Storm Armor in the spring sun. This is when Duke came to the border of the Duchy of Berry, he specially ordered the Storm Army to be fully armoured, because he knew that there must be someone to greet the Lion Army, so he wanted to show the most powerful side of the Storm Army!

When he saw this scene, Count Fleck couldn't believe his eyes for the first time, because in the previous Great Horde meeting, basically the generals of the Lion Army thought that the Storm Army was just a weak lord's private army, and it was even more exaggerated to say that it was very likely that they did not even have the most basic equipment, and coming to the northern defense line was purely an act of "fighting the autumn wind".

But because of Duke Otto's sentence "He is also my son", the lion army was stopped from discussing this matter. Although there was no discussion on the surface, no one really took the Storm Army seriously, and Count Fleck didn't come because of how powerful the Storm Army was, or how high Duke's status was.

It was purely because of his curiosity, and the other generals of the Lion Army were reluctant to welcome such an army of beggars. As the commander of the First Legion of the Lion Army, Count Fleck can only stand up by himself at this time and be this greeting person.

Duke rode on a tall horse, wearing what was arguably the only thing the Otto family had ever given, the lion armor. He drove his horse to the front and came to Count Fleck, and said with a faint smile on his face, "Hello, Uncle Fleck. ”

This is the name in Duke's memory, and Count Fleck can be said to be one of the few people in the lion army who has added Duke as a child. And seriously, he and his father, Duke Otto, are also brothers, Duke has also called him Uncle Fleck since he was a child, and today since this elder took the initiative to greet him, Duke also gave a more affectionate honorific title to face.

Hearing Duke's "Uncle Fleck", he directly pulled Count Fleck out of shock, looking at Duke's unfamiliar face, it was difficult to connect with the little guy more than ten years ago, the change was too great.

"Duke, welcome home. ”

Count Fleck also replied with a smile, there was a recognition of the strength of the Storm Army, and there was also a trace of the influence of past emotions. In any case, Duke was the son of Duke Otto, and the Duchy of Berry was his hometown.
