The Holy See's Alpine City Light Army, which had been lagging behind, appeared in the field of vision of Storm Castle at this time. Duke had previously assumed that, according to the custom of the Holy See on the mainland, it would take several days for the general inquisition to arrive and that they would not officially attack unless it was a state of war or the evidence was conclusive.

As a cavalry, the Teutonic knights were able to accept it from a distance on standby to prepare for rapid support, but they didn't expect that the Bright Army had already set off, and it was only because the infantry was not as fast as the cavalry, so it would be one step behind.

From this point, it can also be seen that Ole has no intention of giving Stormcastle a way to live, because from the moment he disobeyed the cardinal's order, if he didn't get the credit for the collusion between Stormcastle and the Dark Witch Society, let alone get credit to compete for the cardinal, and even this bishop couldn't do it, there was a high chance that he would go to the Heavenly Judgment Seat. So the results of the investigation don't matter at all, Stormcastle is destined to be conquered.

When he saw this scene, Duke also showed a wry smile on his face, it seemed that his response was not wrong, but fortunately he did not admit to compromise. Because the other party didn't intend to give himself a chance to admit his guilt at all, that was to bring humiliation on himself!

The 5,000 Bright Army, plus the expanded Mountain Guard, a full army of 8,000 people marched towards Storm Castle. Together with the Teutonic and Alpine Knights, the size of the Papal Front exceeded 12,000 men.

You must know that Storm Castle is full of calculations, even if the first logistics regiment is added, it will only be 6,000 people. Not to mention the difference in combat effectiveness, the Holy See Front has already crushed the Storm Castle exponentially in terms of numbers this time, it seems that Ole has given Storm Castle face, with this military strength, even if it attacks Andorra City, it is estimated that the pressure is not great.

"After the first group of storms is broken, everyone else retreats to Storm Fort!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Duke gave this order, and the situation in front of him was completely beyond the limit of the storm army's bearing, except for the defense of the city, there was no chance at all in the field.

Cassel and Allen are also veterans of the battlefield, and although the Storm Army lacks combat experience, in terms of military training, modern training methods give them a great advantage in formation coordination. All the soldiers of the first regiment immediately raised their large shields as a line of defense, covering the cavalry regiment to quickly withdraw towards the city.

At the same time, the dwarven legions also moved to the flanks to prevent the Teutonic Knights from launching a surprise attack and outflanking them from both flanks.

Seeing that Duke's storm army was about to retreat, Archbishop Ore, who was in the distance, didn't intend to let Duke go. Because in the case of absolute superiority in troops, field warfare is undoubtedly much easier than engineering, and the greatest combat power of the Holy See Front is the Teutonic Knights, and the siege of the city is too restrictive for cavalry, not only has no advantage at all, but is even inferior to ordinary infantry.

"Teutonic Knights, attack!"

Ole did not hesitate to give the order to attack, at the same time, Ott also looked hideous towards the mountain cavalry at this time, and gave the order to break through from the flank, he wanted to quickly cut off the retreat of the storm army back to the city, if he could, even annihilate the storm army out of the city and capture Duke alive!

The mountain cavalry received Ott's order, and their faces also showed a strong fighting spirit, the last time the mountain city was broken through, the mountain cavalry regiment was ordered to stop by the lord almost before it had time to participate in the battle. And he was humiliated by the storm army, taking away 500 fine war horses.

This humiliating defeat was regarded as a disgrace by all the mountain knights. All the Alpine Army joined the conquest of Storm Castle, and it is true that there is the idea of Count Fili taking advantage of the fire to rob, but there are also Alpine Army who want to prove their idea, after all, as a knight, this kind of grievance of defeat before the battle is unbearable for anyone!

Seeing that the Teutonic Knights and the Mountain Knights had taken the lead in attacking, Duke knew that this bloody battle could not be avoided, although this move out of the city was a failure and rash for now, but Duke did not regret it in his heart.

Because if you don't go out of the city, the Storm Army's subconscious fear of the Holy See will never be eliminated. Duke's departure from the city to meet the battle at least made the Storm Army dare to take the initiative to confront the Holy See, and even some words from Will and Ole stimulated the Storm Army and gave them the determination to fight to the death.

When the brave meet on a narrow road, Duke wants to see the fearlessness of the storm army more than the city that does not dare to fight. Because his goal has never been just to defend a storm fortress, if possible, he will definitely choose to attack and wrestle with the Holy See, so that they can understand that only science that is regarded as heretical can truly make breakthroughs and progress in productivity, instead of suffering from all kinds of natural and man-made disasters and praying for the protection of the gods!

The speed of the attack of the cavalry of the Holy See Front exceeded their previous expectations of Cassel, and at this rate, except for the cavalry and a few dwarven warriors on the flanks who could enter the city, the first regiment of the first line of defense of the storm, there was little hope of withdrawing.

Because two legs can never outrun four legs, plus infantry against cavalry, the only way to defend is formation. Once the formation breaks up and retreats, it means leaving the back of the enemy, and most of them will fall in pursuit.

"Lord Lord, the Storm Troopers don't want to be cowards who escape, the cavalry moves faster, let's break the rear, let the first regiment of the Storm Army withdraw first!"

Cassel said this to Duke with an excited expression, and the entire Storm Army cavalry regiment also stopped retreating, and they began to assemble, ready to charge towards the Teutonic knights.

At the same time, the dwarven hammer also rode his wild boar to Duke's side, and roared in a loud voice: "Lord Lord, we dwarves will never back down, let the storm army break the queen for us, the dwarven warriors can't accept it!"

At this time, the war sheep cavalry also did the same action as the Storm Army Knights, they turned the sheep's head, facing the Teutonic knights and the mountain cavalry who were charging over, the knight's duel was always positive, and it was on the road to charge to run!

Hearing the opposition of his two generals, Duke was also extremely troubled in his heart, and he understood that retreating at this moment was actually the best way to maintain his vitality to the greatest extent. But according to the speed of the Teutonic knights, the first regiment of the Storm Army basically can't run back, you must know that the first regiment of the Storm Army is the elite of the Storm Fort, and if this battle is lost, the Storm Castle is equivalent to being disabled.

Seeing the embarrassment on Duke's face, Cassel said to him excitedly: "Lord Lord, the first regiment can't retreat and outrun the cavalry, but the charge of the Bright Army can't catch up either. If we can hold off the Teutonic knights for a short time, and create time for the 1st Regiment to retreat before the Bright Army comes up, we may be able to evacuate all of them. My lord, this is our last chance!"
