Faced with the situation that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Princess Jina finally gritted her teeth and said, "Duke, why don't you lead the storm army to evacuate first, let me come to the queen of the palace here, otherwise we won't be able to escape." ”

In Princess Jina's heart, there are not so many political factors, and there are not too many ideas about preserving strength. She still naively believed that as long as the army of the Fran Empire survived, whether it was the Imperial Army or the Storm Army, they would contribute their own strength to defend the Fran Empire.

Therefore, the Storm Army has already saved the Imperial Army once, and they should not be allowed to bear this time again, which can be said to be a break with no return, so let the First Imperial Army bear the outcome they should have faced.

As for Ji Na herself, she didn't think about any life and death issues, as the commander gave the order to let her subordinates fight to the death, then she herself had no reason to steal her life, even if she knew that staying would kill her.

"With me here, do you need to stay?"

Duke just said very plainly, then turned around and said to Alan beside him: "His damn Hans cavalry likes to chase after him, right, Lao Tzu has also been picked up as a grandson these days, so he won't run now." Leave half of the storm carriage as a cover, and the rest of the storm carriage will transport the casualties of the First Legion of the Empire, as for those who are not injured, they will die on the grassland if they can't run back within fifty kilometers!"

has been chased for four or five days in a row, and everyone has a breath in their hearts, let alone a person like Duke who has basically not suffered a big loss. This place is almost more than forty kilometers away from the northern defense line of the empire, Duke plans to defend the palace for a day, if the first army of the empire is given a day and still can't run into the fortress, then they will die unjustly!

"Duke, this is what I should do, the Storm Army has achieved its mission and can retreat!"

Princess Gina said solemnly to Duke at this time, as the commander of the Northern Army, Duke didn't take himself too seriously. And with 5,000 storm troops, against more than 20,000 Hans cavalry, how can Duke withdraw at that time?

Forty kilometers is not an exaggeration, but for the Storm Army, which walks on two feet, it is undoubtedly the distance of the moat. As long as there is no camp protection, the Hans Imperial cavalry will be able to pursue the storm army at will.

"Come on, I'll let you stay, do you think that with the appearance of the First Legion of the Empire, you can hold the queen of the palace? It's not that I want to be a hero, but I really don't have the slightest confidence in the First Legion of the Empire!"

If Duke was going to hold out for a day, then he had doubts about whether the First Legion of the Empire would be able to stay in the state for an hour. Maybe a heavy cavalry collective charge, the entire empire's first army will collapse, and then the storm army that has exposed its back will face endless pursuit.

The Storm Army can run several kilometers in an hour, and if this situation really happens, it is better for the Storm Army to set up a posture and fight with the Hans Empire army. A pursuit like the Hans Imperial cavalry must not have brought much supplies, maybe they don't have as much on them as the Storm Army, as long as they survive a day, when they are sleepy and tired, it will be the time for the Duke Storm Army to retreat!

In the face of Duke's straightforward words, Princess Jina's face became ugly, this is simply a slap in the face! If it were a normal time, Princess Jina might not be able to help but be angry and move directly towards Duke. But now in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, she still has to take care of her own image.

So Princess Jina held back and said: "Duke, the First Legion of the Empire is also an elite unit that has experienced countless battles, although they are now in a state of extreme exhaustion, but I believe that they still have the courage and strength to fight, you lead the Storm Army to retreat!"

Hearing Princess Gina's stubborn words, Duke couldn't help but scold a stupid woman in his heart, is this the time for you to die to save face?

"The Storm Army retreats and everyone is finished, don't talk nonsense with me, it's still the same sentence, the war makes the women go away. Marquis Stilwell, take Princess Gina away, and then lead the First Legion of the Empire to retreat!"

Duke unceremoniously shouted at Marquis Stilwell, and when he heard Duke's commanding tone, Marquis Stilwell's face turned green. As a marquis of the empire, and he is also the commander of the first army of the empire, he is generally a second-generation viscount like Duke, and he is not even interested in taking a straight look.

As a result, I didn't expect that such a kid would dare to speak to Princess Jina in such a tone!

But after all, he is a veteran of the French Empire for many years, and he also understands that what Duke said is very reasonable, and indeed after the march in the past few days, he has seen that Duke's storm army is very adaptable to this kind of rapid march, and its physical strength and state are far beyond the first army of the empire.

When he saw this kind of scene before, Marquis Stilwell had an indescribable shock and frustration in his heart, he didn't expect that the First Legion of the Empire, which he was proud of, could not even compare to a small lord army, which made Marquis Stilwell have a deep sense of frustration.

What's more important is that whoever stays behind the queen in this situation is simply who dies, Marquis Stilwell was thinking about how to find a way to put the Duke storm army on top, but he didn't expect Duke, a stupid boy, to take the initiative to say that he wanted the queen, and sure enough, this kid is okay with everything else, but he is too young.

Since Duke himself took the initiative to find death, Marquis Stilwell would definitely not stop him, as for being humiliated by Duke's tone, as an old fritter who has been crawling in the imperial capital for decades, compared with the survival of the First Legion of the Empire, what is this humiliation?

After all, the First Legion of the Empire is the capital of the Marquis of Stilwell, and once the First Legion of the Empire is gone, then the Marquis of Stilwell's voice in the French Empire will plummet in the future. And at present, the Marquis of Stilwell is also very clear about the state of the French Empire, once it really faces any imperial crisis, then whoever has soldiers in his hands will control the right to speak!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I think what Viscount Duke said is very reasonable, the current state of the First Legion of the Empire is indeed not suitable for His Highness, you should follow us to evacuate to the defense line, to ensure your safety, it is the great trust of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is also something that our Northern Legion must do!"

Originally, Princess Gina thought that Marquis Stilwell would be angry when she heard Duke's tone, but she never expected that Marquis Stilwell would agree with Duke's words, and this scene simply stunned her.
