Since it is impossible for the Prince of Andorra to pay for the redemption of such an imperial army, then it is impossible for Duke to let them live in vain, at least to earn back the cost of this war, so sending it to the Storm Mine for mining is the best way, after all, the Storm Mine has tens of thousands of young and strong men, and they are not afraid of what storms they will make.

If it really doesn't work, you can directly send a thousand storm new troops to supervise it, and the storm mine will have an extra 5,000 young and strong free labor, which is simply a win-win thing.

After hearing Duke's decision, these prisoners of war of the Imperial Eleventh Legion were simply greatly relieved. You must know that they were worried that they would be slaughtered by Duke before, after all, outside Andorra, the Storm Troopers showed the scene without mercy, and many people can describe it with the words that are still fresh in their memories.

can survive, but only two years of coolies, and the current storm fort and storm army are very good places, once you perform well and can be released early, it can be said that Duke's conditions are already quite generous. Even in modern civilization, which later has regulations on preferential treatment of prisoners of war and other regulations, there are countless cases of captured soldiers dying of exhaustion after more than ten years of labor.

After dealing with the affairs of the Eleventh Legion of the Empire, Duke set his sights on the Alpine Army, and the handling of the Alpine Army was the most important thing today. If it is handled well, then the strength of the storm army will increase a lot, and if it is not handled well, it may cause the mountain army to be unable to fuse, and eventually form a small faction in the storm army, and then affect the combat effectiveness.

Seeing Duke come to his phalanx, Gao Shanjun's expression was quite complicated, some people were very excited, some were very confused, and some were very worried. The excitement is because they want to join the storm army, mainly knights like Lincoln, after all, as noble knights, they don't have to worry about dealing with it, and any territory is very preferential for cavalry.

What is confused is that I don't know whether I should join the Alpine Army, after all, in just a few months, if you count Duke, it is simply three changes of ownership, these soldiers of the Alpine Army don't know what they really think in their hearts, which lord they are following, whether they should continue to stay in the army, and if they leave like this, will Duke agree?

As for the worried, they are worried that Duke will turn over old accounts to deal with them, after all, the Alpine Army is an old opponent of the Storm Army, and the two sides have also fought a few times, so it can be regarded as a bond. If Duke were to settle old scores at this stage, the Alpine Army would hardly have any strength to resist.

However, judging from Duke's previous disposal of the Eleventh Legion of the Empire, the Storm Lord in front of him should not be a brutal person, at most, he will go to the Storm Mine to work as a coolie for two years, and he should be worry-free in terms of life.

"Warriors of the Alpine Army, I know that you are very confused right now, but I want to say one thing first, that is, I am very grateful to you for opening the gates of Takayama City and avoiding those unnecessary casualties, and I believe that you do not want your brothers and relatives to die in this senseless war. ”

Duke's words first set a tone, that is, he would not put the Gao Shan Army in opposition to him, and even said words like thanking the Gao Shan Army. It can eliminate the hostility and concerns of these Alpine soldiers to the greatest extent.

"I also know that you have experienced a lot of changes in the past period of time, Ott has now been executed by the old city lord Count Fili, and Count Fili wants to live a peaceful life, and has handed over the management of Alpine City to me, and I will be your new lord in the future, the lord of the mountain!"

When Duke said this, many of the soldiers had a sad expression on their faces, although they had known what was going on beforehand, otherwise they would not have helped Duke open the gates. But when I really heard that Count Filip was retiring, I was still a little reluctant, after all, what did Count Filip say was not bad for the Alpine Army, Alpine City had not made much progress under his management over the years, but there was basically no problem with worry-free food and clothing, especially compared with the previous unlucky eggs in Storm Castle, it was even more happy.

Now that Count Fili has retired and handed over Alpine City to Duke, it means that Alpine City will change a lot in the future, and they don't know if their future life will be better.

"Since I am your future lord, then the Alpine Army is also my army. In the future, the Alpine Army will merge with the Storm Army and become a member of the Storm Army, as long as you fight bravely, you will get land, honor, and a better life in the future, I believe that the changes in the Storm Army now, how can you have a little understanding, judging from the equipment on their bodies, you also know that what I said is true. ”

"Of course, I will not choose to force you to join the Storm Army, if you are not willing to continue to serve in the army, I also respect your choice, and will issue a discharge fee of hardware coins, so that you can go home and live. However, if you still want to join the Storm Army in the future, then not only will you have to accept a more rigorous assessment, but you will also need to refund the discharge fee of this hardware, so the next step is your choice time. ”

After Duke finished speaking, he set his eyes on the mountain army in front of him, giving them time to choose freely. The number of Storm Troops is actually quite large now, at least it is almost enough to defend their own territory. And Duke has always carried out the thinking that the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and the mountain army soldiers in front of him are about 7,000 people, of which there are 2,000 mountain cavalry that Duke values very much, but even so, Duke still will not choose to stay.

In the same way, Duke does not welcome vacillating characters, what is needed on the battlefield is a determined war machine, and this vacillating soldier is a time bomb in the future. Maybe the Stormtroopers will be able to change their will, but Duke has to guard against the Prince of Andorra's counterattack and doesn't have so much time to train them slowly.

So he formulated a return policy, if he really wants to join the storm army in the future, such a return policy can also avoid their speculative ideas, and they must pay the due price.

As the minutes ticked by, many of the Alpine soldiers began to look left and right, and some even began to discuss with each other. Duke didn't stop them from doing this, and since he said that he would give them free choice, Duke still had to wait for time. At the same time, the Storm Army has also opened up a path, bringing gold coins and registers, and those who want to leave can take the money and leave!
