Kangsi's method will be determined for the time being, but at least it will not have a chance to be implemented until the beginning of spring next year. At that time, Duke will find a way to inform Emperor Fran, or contact his cheap father, to see if he can find a way to transfer the Storm Army by supporting the northern defense line, so that he can carry out his plan.

After the Future War Horse Project was completed, Duke was in a good mood, which was one of the most important things about Future Storm. In addition to this incident, there is another thing that makes Duke very happy, that is, Cassel, who has been in the hospital bed for two months, is finally able to get out of bed and walk.

Although Casso received blood transfusion, he was still in a very dangerous stage, and the mortality rate of this large-scale trauma was almost as high as 199% in the era when there were no antibiotics.

But Cassel himself has a vindictive energy to protect his body, and Nicole, a little girl's natural magic healing ability, also continues to help Cassel recover his body. It can be said that Cassel's life was snatched from the hands of death, and it can be said to be an out-and-out miracle in Storm Castle.

As the cavalry commander of Storm Castle, the future cavalry development plan still needs Cassel to carry out, so when he heard that Cassel could walk on the ground, Duke rushed to the hospital to visit Cassel as soon as possible.

When Duke arrived at the hospital, he happened to see Cassel walking slowly against the wall, supported by the nurse. A man of five years and three coarse, but can only learn to walk like a child, Duke doesn't know what to say when he sees this kind of scene.

Cassel looked up at this time, and just saw Duke standing at the end of the corridor, he rushed in the direction of Duke excitedly, and almost fell. Seeing Cassel's move, Duke hurriedly came to his side and supported him and said, "Your body has just recovered a little, don't be so excited, if you fall, it will be a big trouble." ”

"No, my lord, I should salute when I see you!"

After Cassel said this, he insisted on kneeling down on one knee and saluting Duke, Duke felt very helpless about this, because after Cassel knew that Duke had donated blood to save him, he simply regarded Duke as his patron saint, and he was extremely respectful to Duke at all times. In his words, if the lord is willing to risk his life with precious blood to save himself, then his life is Duke's.

Duke didn't just once emphasize to Cassel that blood wasn't a life-threatening thing, so there was no need to get excited. If you really want to thank yourself, you just need to know this kind of thing in your heart, and there is no need to always talk about it, so that every time you meet, it will be extremely embarrassing.

So in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future, Duke changed his face to a very serious expression and said: "Cassel, I now order you not to do this again in the future, return to normal as before, as a knight, you shouldn't be so hypocritical!"

"But Lord Lord......"

Cassel also wanted to explain, because in his mind, Duke's life-saving grace was really unrecompensable.

"No, but, if this is still the case in the future, then I will cut your position as the commander of the cavalry, anyway, there is no human cavalry regiment in Stormcastle now. ”

The glory of knights and the dignity of cavalry are the greatest pursuit of Cassel in this life, so when Duke said this, Cassel immediately stood up and replied to Duke: "Obey the lord, I will definitely follow your instructions!"

Duke was relieved to see that Cassel had finally returned to normal, in fact, he had wanted to threaten Cassel with this before. It's just that Cassel was still lying on the hospital bed at the time, and if his threat made him excited and burst his wounds, it would be really a joke, so Duke endured it until now.

Helping Cassel into the ward and sitting down, Duke also said another important thing for his visit today, that is, he repeated the method of rebuilding the cavalry regiment agreed with Consis, and sought his advice.

As soon as he heard that Duke had a way to form a cavalry regiment, Cassel instantly became excited, but when he heard that he was trading horses from barbarian tribes, Cassel's previous excited expression also subsided.

Duke naturally observed the change in Cassel's expression, so he asked puzzledly, "Cassel, is there any problem?"

"Lord Lord, the barbarians can be said to be the mortal enemies of our Fran Empire, not to mention whether they are willing to trade or not, if we trade with them like this, then countless warriors who died in the northern frontier, I think this is a betrayal to them. ”

Hearing Cassel's words, Duke understood that it was the chivalry in his heart that was at work. For this point, Duke had also thought about it before, although this world did not have the mature national concept of later generations, but in the case of feud between the two sides, the barbarians had too much blood on their hands with the blood of the soldiers of the French Empire and the people, and daring to make a deal with the barbarians would cause disgust in their hearts.

"Cassel, I know what you mean, but I didn't make a deal with the barbarians for my personal benefit, or even for the benefit of Stormcastle!"

"From the day the Frankish Empire was founded, the barbarians had been harassing the northern frontier, and this situation had not changed for hundreds of years. If you want to truly solve the problem of the barbarians, you need to fight them out and annihilate them on the northern grasslands, so that they will never dare to go south!"

As Duke thought before, the barbarians were equivalent to the ancient Huns, and when it came to defense, they could always take advantage of the advantage of mobility. But the productivity of the farming areas is far beyond that of the nomads, and it is very easy to eliminate the nomads if they are really tough.

Therefore, the nomads invented guerrilla tactics, and when faced with the attack of the main army, they chose to retreat. The logistics of ancient times were far less advanced than those of modern times, and once the main force of the nomads was not found on the grassland for a decisive battle, the logistics might drag the expeditionary corps to death, which is why it is easy to repel but difficult to eliminate.

The only way to solve the problem of the border once and for all is to keep attacking, gain the same high mobility as the nomads, and then rely on advanced productivity to crush them. That's what the Han Dynasty did back then, and there was also a saying that a Han cavalry waited for the five Hun cavalry, which was a huge gap in combat effectiveness.

If you don't have strong mobility, you can actually kill the nomads by relying on the infantry, and that is to build fortresses. Nails are nailed to the grassland like nails, and after they are finally connected into a line, they have no room to live.

It's just that these two ways require strong national strength to support, and only a unified empire can do it, and the reason why the empire of Europa Continent can't beat the barbarians is because they don't have a unified super empire!
