After Duke arranged for Allen, he watched the soldiers of the first regiment leave the camp and go to the fortress of Alakou, and then let the soldiers of the third regiment of the storm army build the camp fortifications.

The Storm Army began to prepare to be stationed, but inside the Lion Army's tent, they began to have a headache for the Storm Army. Because this time Henry VII ordered that all the supplies of the Storm Army were provided by the Lion Army, and the logistics supply of 5,000 people was not a small number, and all the members of the Storm Army were equipped with plate armor, which was an exaggerated burden for the Lion Army.

You must know that the Lion Army itself has not yet been fully equipped with plate armor, how can it be possible to provide Storm Army plate armor equipment. In addition, the Lion Army is not like Storm Castle, which has a hydraulic hammer forging machine, which can increase the efficiency of plate armor production by a hundred times, and relying on artificially built plate armor is really sky-high.

"Lord Duke, I think the Storm Army is so well-equipped, they should not have much need for equipment, so we just need to provide food. ”

Robert, the second commander of the Lion Army, was the first to reply, he had a close relationship with Teucer, so he was naturally hostile to Duke. In addition, in fact, a lot of military equipment in the Lion Army's inventory was resold to the barbarians or provided to the Sea Clan, and they couldn't do it if they wanted to supply the Storm Army.

Teucer was also worried that this kind of problem would erupt, so he quickly agreed and said: "Father, the standard armor of the Duke Storm Army is very different from the armor of our Lion Army, and I think even if it is provided to them, it will cause logistical inconvenience, so I agree with Captain Robert's opinion, it is good to only provide basic supplies such as food." ”

Hearing Robert and Tocke's words, there was a hint of hesitation on Duke Otto's face, because Duke was not only the Lord of the Lion Army, but also his youngest son. It can be said that although Duke Otto made the decision to give up Duke, after seeing Duke again, the heart of father and son was rekindled.

It can be said that Duke Otto owes Duclendo and has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. The same three sons, he raised the Silver Moon Army and the Maple Leaf Army, if Duke entered the dangerous border and didn't take care of it, this bowl of water would be a little too crooked.

But Duke Otto also understood that the Storm Army basically had nothing to do with the Lion Army except for the silver lion head on the banner, and the equipment was not universal. And now the logistical pressure of the Lion Army is also very large, and the confrontation for more than a year has had a great impact on the production and trade of the entire border area, which basically belongs to the kind of lose-lose scenario.

Even if Duke Otto wanted to support the Storm Army, he was the kind of person who was powerless, so he could only finally accept the advice of Teucer and Captain Robert, nodded and replied: "Okay, inform the quartermaster that the supply standard of the Storm Army is the same as that of the Lion Army." ”

Hearing that his father had finally accepted his advice, a subtle smile appeared on Teucer's face. The reason why he was so excited about the reaction just now was because after Duke left, he made a deal with the fish-man liaison officer of the Shark Tribe, providing 10,000 sets of equipment from the Northern Legion, plus the previous 10,000 sets of equipment, requiring the Shark Tribe to capture Storm Castle within the near future!

The shortage of 10,000 sets of equipment is a large amount even for the northern defense line, and the previous 10,000 sets are Trafigura's inventory, plus those smuggled out in batches over a period of several months. Now this is a one-time thing, and it basically empties the entire inventory of the Lion Army. If Duke Otto asked for weapons and equipment at this time, Teucer really couldn't get it.

However, thinking that after the Shark Tribe obtained these 10,000 sets of equipment, they could pose a huge threat to Storm Castle and force Duke to leave, Teucer felt that it was all worth it. Now he doesn't just regard Duke as an opponent, but even a powerful opponent that is difficult for him to defeat, so Teucer doesn't have the idea of killing Duke casually as before, just driving Duke back.

The Lion Army's Big Tent has determined the supply of the Storm Army, but the Imperial Army's Big Tent is thinking about the Storm Army's defense and even offense.

"Marquis Patton, what do you think of the Storm Army?"

Marquis Stilwell asked.

Marquis Patton pondered for a moment and replied: "It shouldn't be weak, at least on the surface, it is very strong, but I don't know if it is a showmanship, and in the face of those fierce riders of the barbarians, will it retreat." ”

"That's right, at least to our surprise, this doesn't look like a small lord's army at all, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor's worries are justified. ”

The Imperial Guard is the absolute henchman army of the royal family, and the first regiment of the imperial army is also the elite of the imperial army, usually these two armies are stationed in the imperial capital, which is considered to be the emperor's direct army, so Henry VII knows very well about the jealousy of Duke Otto, Patton or Stilwell.

However, Marquis Barton shook his head at this time and replied: "But as far as I know, Duke Otto's relationship with this son is not good, and it can even be said that there is nothing else except the nominal father-son relationship. Even if it is to support the Storm Army, it is impossible to support such a powerful Storm Army, so the little guy Duke is still very powerful, and the three sons of the Otto family are really enviable. “

Marquis Patton's tone revealed envy, thinking that the Guards had been stationed in the imperial capital for a long time, and his son and grandson had really become Duke's kind of dumb disciples in the fancy world of the imperial capital. Barton didn't know which son or grandson would be able to succeed him after his death.

You must know that a marquis like him who has no independent territory, just like the kind of title in ancient China, is not rich for three generations, and once the ability of the descendants is insufficient, the entire family may fall.

"Indeed, Otto is a good luck guy!"

Marquis Stilwell couldn't help but be envious, after all, he had lost to Otto in the first place, otherwise the imperial military god and duke's position might have to be named Stilwell.

"But the more this is the case, the more we must fulfill His Majesty the Emperor's order, since the Storm Army is so powerful, then we must let them consume a certain amount of strength. If you can, bring in Duke Otto's lion army, at least cut off the lion army's imperial supply. ”

Marquis Stilwell was talking about Henry VII's secret order, an order specifically for Duke's Storm Army, a secret order that even Princess Gina didn't know.
