Duke finally couldn't help but tell the truth to Princess Gena, politics is dark and cruel, if Gena wants to become a female general or female commander, then she must understand and contact these things in the future, it is impossible to simply fight a war without participating in politics, Duke just let her recognize this reality in advance.

When she heard Duke say her father's name, Princess Gina even looked at Duke with her mouth wide open, she couldn't believe that what Duke said was true, her father, who she had always loved and respected, would actually order Marquis Barton to betray the Storm Army's marching route to the enemy country, which was really amazing.

"Impossible, it's not true, it's impossible for him to do this!"

Princess Jina's tears flowed uncontrollably, and she kept muttering impossible words in her mouth. Duke also felt very heartbroken when he saw Ji Na's state, in fact, from the day he met Ji Na, he knew that this little girl was like a middle and high school student on the earth, and she had not experienced the cruelty of society, nor did she feel the cunning of human nature.

is also a royal child, Princess Jina's psychological maturity is far inferior to his two elder brothers, and they really feel the cruelty of being a royal family. It can even be said that Princess Gina is not as good as her younger brother.

Maybe this is also because of Ji Na's daughter, she has no ambition to compete for the throne, and naturally she will not consider calculating other people's deceitful things. Henry VII may be insidious to others, but for Princess Jina, he has always shown the kindness and love of a father, and Princess Jina, who grew up in this environment, naturally does not think badly of her father.

This is where Princess Gina is lucky, after all, she did not have a gloomy childhood and power struggle, and she can happily fantasize about her dream of becoming a female marshal. But this is also the sad thing about Princess Jena, she understands that many things are too late, and the later she knows the truth, the crueler it becomes.

"He doesn't have to do it to me, but if he adds the status of Duke Otto's son, he needs to do it. I'm sure you know that His Majesty the Emperor is very jealous of Duke Otto, but you don't know what he's doing in the dark. ”

"I was just a straw bale before, so he can trust me to hand over the Stormkeep territory, because with the attack of the Ice Demon and the abandonment of the Empire, the entire Stormkeep will become history. But he didn't expect that Stormfort would not only survive, but also become so powerful that it would be able to support the Empire's northern frontier. ”

"Duke Otto is strong enough, and now even his most grassy and wasteful son has his own strength, do you think His Majesty the Emperor will be at ease?"

"But he won't do that, you're on the northern border for the Empire!"

Princess Gina cried and retorted, Duke said what she actually knew in her heart, but it was true that as Duke said, she never considered that her father would really attack Duke Otto. There are even many times when Gina naively thinks that there is just a misunderstanding between her father and Duke Otto, and it would be nice if there was a chance to explain it clearly.

"No, in his eyes, it doesn't matter if there is a storm army on the northern border, but when this powerful storm army comes into the territory of the Duchy of Berry, it is destined to be a lion army mark that cannot be washed away. In addition, Baker and Teucer have been frantically expanding their armies during this period of time, and all kinds of abnormal actions have added up, giving His Majesty the Emperor a prelude to Duke Otto's rebellion. ”

"He has to weaken Duke Otto and the Lion Army, but now that it's wartime, there's no way to do this kind of thing directly, and it will cause turmoil in the Empire. And to move towards Baker and Teucer, it would be too obvious, and maybe it would directly force Duke Otto against him. Only I, the storm army, can not only reach the weak Duke Otto or even give him a warning, but also within the limits of Duke Otto's tolerance, no one will stand up for me, if you are the Emperor of Fran, what will you do?"

Duke's rhetorical question directly made Princess Gina stand still, these things have exceeded her previous outlook on life, Gina never thought that politics would be so cruel and dark, and even involved Duke and the Storm Army.

Looking at Gina's stunned appearance, Duke understood that the impact of these things on her was too great, and it was unacceptable at once. But people are always like this, it is impossible to stay in the greenhouse all their lives, and one day they must realize the cruelty of reality. And with the current situation of the French Empire, even this day will come sooner than imagined.

So Duke glanced at Ji Na, and finally said lightly: "Ji Na, I know you can't accept it for a while, but that's the way it is, and the situation in the French Empire is even more serious than you imagined, and your two brothers are actually ready for a mutation." ”

"I know that your dream has always been to become a female general like Joan of Arc, and if you really want to be the next Joan of Arc, then one thing you must do is to have your own direct army, no matter how large or small there are, this is the foundation of your future in troubled times. As for weapons and equipment, Stormcastle and I will do our best to provide them, and it's time for us to mature and take charge of them. ”

After saying this, Duke did not continue to stay in the tent, but turned around and left. After saying this, Duke's heart was also a lot lighter, because every time he felt Princess Kina's innocence, he couldn't help but want to give her a hint and warning, but he never had a chance to say it.

Today, with this opportunity, he not only talked about the game between Duke Otto and Henry VII, but even told Gina about the current situation in the French Empire. The warlord power of the French Empire has been formed, and this does not refer to the Duke of Otto, but the territories, including the son of Henry VII, have begun to continuously enrich their private army.

When the last batch of Storm Logistics Army arrived, he told Duke the news that the Prince of Andorra had integrated Alpine City, the remnants of the Imperial Third Legion, the Eleventh Imperial Legion, and the Imperial Frontier Knights with his own Andorran City Lord's Guard and the Prince's Army, and now the Prince of Andorra's direct force has reached an astonishing more than 50,000 troops, and has begun to challenge Prince Edward's succession.

And after this battle, it is estimated that Duke Otto will no longer be obedient to Henry VII, and the layer of window paper on both sides can be regarded as officially pierced, with Duke Otto counterattacking and taking the lead, it is estimated that other lords will also take action, and troubled times are coming.
