Hearing Duke's answer, Abner was a little disappointed, now that he was closely related to Stormcastle, he naturally hoped that Stormcastle would be stronger and stronger.

"Abner, there will be milk, bread, and even more in the future, so don't worry. By the way, is there any important news from Storm Castle lately?"

The reason why Duke didn't ask at the first time was because Abner didn't tell anything at the first time, which naturally meant that nothing big happened in Storm Castle. But Duke was still a little uneasy, and finally decided to ask.

"Rest assured, Lord Lord, after you left, Lord Alan and Lord Cassel managed Storm Castle very well, and I heard that they have also recruited a new batch of auxiliaries, intending to replenish the Storm Castle's troops. ”

Hearing Abner say that there was no problem with Storm Castle, Duke was completely relieved. It may be true that a small number of hellish creatures passed through the gates of hell and entered the Valley of Monsters, but because the summer has greatly reduced the combat power of the ice demons, they still held back and did not attack.

Of course, whether this was a temporary hold or a calm before the storm, Duke didn't know very well. But at least before he came back, nothing happened to him, it was already very good, and Duke's biggest concern before he came back was that before he came back, the Ice Demon had already attacked Stormcastle, and Alan and Cassel had no way to completely stabilize the situation.

Or that they did not know the importance of hydroelectric plants and gave up the defense of hydroelectric plants prematurely.

It's just that Duke just put down his heart, and then he heard Abner say again: "But ......"

"Damn, but what, don't say half of it, okay?"

Duke replied dissatisfiedly, he hated this kind of talk the most, but but people, quite a premonition that made people happy and sad.

Feeling Duke's dissatisfaction, Abner quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry lord, I just didn't know the size of this matter, so I didn't say it directly." About half a month ago, the fish-man emissaries of the Sea Clan's Shark Tribe came to Storm Castle once, saying that they needed a lot of weapons and armor. ”

"But at that time, some of the auxiliaries were replenishing the shortfall in the Battle of Stormkeeping, and our Storm Guard itself suffered a lot of losses, so Lord Allen refused the Wave Tribe's request and wanted to wait for you to come back to make a decision. But after this time, the Tide tribe has almost cut off contact with us, and even the trade in the port has stopped, as if it had disappeared in the middle of the sea. ”

Hearing Abner's description, Duke frowned at this time, it stands to reason that the Wave tribe is asking for themselves, and the fishing trade is also a win-win situation for them, so it is impossible to directly play the trick of disappearance. Could it be that the Wave Tribe couldn't resist the attack of the Shark Tribe, and the whole army was wiped out?

It's just that Duke doesn't think it's very likely, after all, he has supported five hundred sets of storm armor before, and there are a large number of weapons that have been replaced. Although these are nothing to the Storm Legion, they are simply divine weapons for the Sea Clan who used the rags before.

How can it be said that with the addition of this batch of sharp weapons, the Wave Tribe will not be so vulnerable, right?

It's just that what Duke doesn't know is that after the Wave Tribe received a batch of military equipment from Storm Fort, the Shark Tribe received more Northern Legion equipment from Teucer. It may be that the equipment of the Northern Legion has a slight disadvantage in terms of armor, but relying on the absolute numerical superiority, coupled with the fact that the Wild Shark Tribe already occupies an advantage in strength, it almost crushes the Wave Tribe.

The last time the Wave tribe asked for help, it was almost time to be unable to hold on. It's just that Duke's absence, combined with the lack of production capacity in Stormcastle itself, ultimately leads to Allen's rejection. Now that the Wave Tribe has been defeated by the Shark Tribe, the remnants of the army and some of the tribe's subjects have fled to the ocean, intending to bypass the blockade of the Shark tribe and come to the coastline of Storm Castle.

"Alright, I see, I'll find out when I get to Stormfort. ”

Duke's words also gave this conversation an end, everything that should be known is already almost known, Abner is also doing very well in Andorra City, Duke just needs to return to Storm Castle as soon as possible.

After a day's stay in Andorra la Vella, Duke returned to Stormcastle with food and other supplies he had purchased. Before the autumn harvest arrived, Stormcastle was now unable to reach the level of self-sufficiency, and still had to rely on purchasing large quantities of materials from the outside world.

In the past, it was purchased from Takayama City, but with the bad relationship between the two sides, the cost of materials became higher and higher, and there were more and more restrictions. However, with the construction of the Storm Merchant and the improvement of the Storm Carriage, most of the material is now transported directly from Andorra City to Stormcastle.

Even though the road is much farther away, but counting the cheapness of the purchase price, in fact, the overall cost is similar to that of purchasing from Takayama City. Moreover, after feeding the Prince of Andorra, there were basically no stumbling blocks or obstacles, so now Storm Castle has basically completely bypassed the line of Alpine City.

It's just that Duque is still not very relieved about purchasing from Andorra City, because he has always felt that the Prince of Andorra is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. When there are enough reserves for this year's autumn harvest, Duke plans to open up other supply routes, even if it is a longer distance and more expensive, there must be multiple channels.

However, on the way back to Storm Castle, because he was not in such a hurry as before, Duke deliberately took a detour and went to Storm New City to have a look. After all, it has been more than half a year since the construction of this storm new city was started before the Chinese New Year. Michelangelo had been in charge until now, and Duke wondered what was going on here.

In the distance, Duke saw a large building complex on the plain ahead, and since Duke came from the rear, he did not see the city walls. However, compared to the small bungalows of one or two floors that are common in this world, most of the new towns in Storm City are three- to four-story structures.

This is also Duke's own civil engineer, adopting the prefabricated panel construction method that was almost obsolete in later generations, and built a relatively modern house design. In this way, it is possible to accommodate as many residents as possible with as few units of area as possible, because the financial resources of Storm Fort are really not able to build the tall siege walls of ancient China.

"Lord Lord, I didn't expect Storm New City to progress so much, it seems that this winter, Lord Farmers will not have to nest in the valley in the fort, but can live in Storm New City. ”

Fei Duo's face also showed an expression of excitement, every year the valley in the fort of Storm Fort can be called a time bomb of the epidemic, and now that Storm New City has been completed, this hidden danger will be completely solved!
