After arguing with Duke for a few words, Jina really couldn't talk about Duke, or in front of Duke's storm army, Jina no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning, so she walked towards the Imperial army camp angrily.

Looking at Princess Gina's back, Duke shrugged his shoulders and felt very helpless, sometimes he felt that Kina was actually quite good, and even a little pitiful. But sometimes I can't get used to her kind of brutal willfulness and arrogant style, what is it like now, isn't there a little pressure in my heart?

After Princess Gina left, Duke didn't chase after her to comfort her, after all, this is not Storm Castle now, and it is still a little inconvenient for the Imperial Army's camp to walk in it casually. The most important point is that after Duke learned from the Hans Empire that the Emperor of France wanted to kill him, he began to take precautions against the Marquis of Barton and the Imperial Army.

If Henry VII was a little more ruthless, he killed himself directly in the camp of the Imperial Army, and then found an excuse that he was assassinated by the barbarians or the Hans Empire, then he would have died a little unjustly.

Therefore, even in the camp of the Storm Army, the first regiment of the Storm Army and the remaining 1,000 logistics troops who have returned from the change of defense are all well prepared for defense, just for fear that the Imperial Army will attack them.

Sometimes Duke felt sad, and he thought that Henry VII was unlucky, and when the French Empire reached him, it had already declined, and he just couldn't turn back. Now it seems that Henry VII is the Chongzhen Emperor at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although in a sense it can be said that he is powerless to return to the sky, but as long as he does not fool around and suspect randomly, he can still continue his life.

But soon Duke's attention was not focused on this kind of thing, because Eren returned, and with him came the upper echelons of the barbarians, their great shaman.

The reason why barbarians are not accepted by humans is not because of their appearance, not even because of their writing and language, but because of their different beliefs. They believe in very primitive religions such as heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and the priests who worship these primitive religions are called shamans.

And the high-level shaman in the barbarian royal court is called the great shaman, which has the same position and meaning as the great mage in the human empire. Therefore, this set of beliefs, which are completely incompatible with the Cult of the Illuminati, is naturally impossible to be accepted by the Holy See.

In addition, because of the natural lack of natural resources, the barbarians can only continue to attack the human empire to obtain, and finally the human empire reached a consensus with the Holy See, and the barbarians have become the recognized recognition of the human empire, and they are placed on the same status as orcs, hellish creatures, and half-orcs, anyway, the two sides are incompatible!

However, when he heard that the great shaman was coming, Duke was still very excited, and it can be seen from this point that Eren is very reliable and does not exaggerate, bringing real power figures in the barbarian royal court.

"Alan, where is the great shaman, hurry up and bring me over to meet him. ”

Duke was a little impatient, as long as he could reach an agreement with the barbarians as soon as possible, then the cavalry force of the Storm Army would also be able to take shape as soon as possible.

This is also where the cavalry is precious and expensive, he is not like a musketeer, he can train casually for a month, as long as he can reload ammunition and his hands are not shaking, he can basically become a qualified musketeer. After all, the accuracy of muskets in this world depends on fate, as long as there is enough musketeer base to form a row of guns, everything else is easy to say, and it is not as complicated as cultivating ace shooters or snipers as in later generations.

But cavalry is different, the requirements for selecting soldiers at the beginning are very high, physical fitness and bravery are the most basic, and sometimes they also need to have a certain level of culture and be able to understand the tactical intentions of higher levels. This is why, the average cavalry is a knight nobleman in this world, because without this financial and capital, basically don't want to become a cavalry.

After selecting the personnel, the cavalry had to go through at least a year of riding training before they could barely participate in the battle. One year is basically the minimum requirement, that is, to be able to charge with a saber. If you want to be able to ride and shoot accurately, you basically need to be an archer, and you have been trained for more than several years.

So why cavalry nomads have an innate advantage, is because they have been exposed to horses since childhood, so they have an innate advantage in horsemanship. But this advantage is not absolute, because war is never decided by horsemanship, but by the bravery, discipline and execution of the army.

Just like the data at the peak of the Han and Tang dynasties in China, the Han cavalry may not have any advantage against the Hun cavalry, and even against some experienced ones, it is still a disadvantage. But as long as there are more than ten rides, they are basically flat or even start to have a slight advantage. The battle of more than 100 cavalry was almost a crushing situation, and later Chen Tang, the general of the Han Dynasty, could even say the conclusion that one Han was against Wuhu.

Therefore, Duke didn't care much about the gap with the nomadic cavalry, as long as he had more than a year of training, Duke believed that with the equipment and discipline of the Storm Army, he would have no problem against other cavalry on the continent.

The only threat is probably the Papal Cavalry, who are truly the best cavalry on the continent. Because the papal cavalry crushed the other cavalry in terms of courage, discipline, training, and even faith, and it can be said that there is no weakness.

This is why Duke is in such a hurry to train the Storm Cavalry, their future opponent must be the Papal Cavalry, although horsemanship is not the key factor in determining the outcome of the war, but it can make horsemanship more exquisite, and no lord will be willing to refuse.

Facing Duke asking the barbarian shaman, Allen's face showed a very embarrassed expression, seeing Allen's expression, Duke asked a little puzzled: "What's the matter, didn't they come over?"

"Tell my lord, the barbarian shaman has come, but he is reluctant to come to the Storm Army camp, or even to approach the fortress of Alakou. The barbarian great shaman said that they will only meet you on the grassland, and then have an interview with you, Lord Lord, otherwise the transaction will be canceled, because they don't have any trust in the Human Empire, and there are too many ways to deceive them over the years!"

Hearing Allen's answer, Duke probably knew what was going on, that is, the barbarian great shaman was not at ease with the storm army. Because compared to these barbarians, after all, the human empire has experienced thousands of years of deceit, and it is much more shrewd in all aspects, and the barbarians have also suffered losses in peace talks before, and they have been pressed to death by human merchants in business, so even if Allen comes forward, they still dare not rest assured about the storm army.
