Uther didn't hesitate for long, he had already made a decision in his heart, after all, the consequences of some things were beyond the limit that he, the general of the Bright Army, could bear.

"The Bright Army is back at camp!"

Uther just said a simple word, and then turned around and left, because even if Duke confessed, it was a very embarrassing thing for him. Maybe in the history of the Holy See Army, there are very few people who retreat because of conflicts with the lords, after all, the average lord army can't hide, and they dare to provoke the Holy See Army?

Watching Uther lead the Bright Army away, Duke's face was actually not very good-looking, after all, this time he was the first to admit it, you must know that since the establishment of the Storm Army, Duke really hasn't admitted it a few times, especially in the face of the theocracy he hates the most, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to admit it.

"Go to the castle of the city lord. ”

After Duke coldly gave the order, he walked straight towards the Alpine City Lord's Mansion, and Rose was standing behind Duke at this time, because she was going to protect Duke as quickly as possible when the Bright Army attacked. So Rose is the one who knows the most about what just happened.

It's just that she looked at Duke like this, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, because in the eyes of everyone in Storm Castle, Duke was the kind of image that never gave in and was omnipotent. But Rose will be helpless when she sees Duke now, and she will choose to bow her head and admit it, which is something that was unimaginable before, because Duke holds up a piece of the sky in Stormcastle, and it is a wall that they witches rely on.

The more so, when I saw Duke's powerless side of admitting his mistakes, I felt an inexplicable distress. It's just that with Rose's stronger personality, she doesn't know what to say to comfort Duke.

When I came to the City Lord's Mansion, the Alpine Army guards inside basically knew what was going on, so in the face of Duke's Storm Army, no one chose to stop them, just stood aside silently, and the soldiers of the Storm Army also officially began to take over the entire Alpine City Lord's Mansion, maybe this may be Duke's City Lord's Mansion in the future. And Duke will also be promoted from the previous small lord status to the middle lord range, and even in terms of military strength, it is no problem to say that he is the big lord of the French Empire.

In the corridor of the City Lord's Mansion, Duke saw Count Fili looking out the window blankly, Duke had also met Count Fili a few times before, although he was not very wise and martial, but when facing a little lord like Duke before, he still had that kind of spirit.

But when he saw Count Filip today, he could only be described as a lonely middle-aged man, he no longer had the momentum of the count's aristocracy, and even his body was a little rickety.

Looking at Count Filip like this, Duke just walked over silently, and before he could speak, he heard Count Fili speak first: "Duke, Alpine City will be yours from now on." ”

In the face of Count Filip's words, as an old opponent, Duke did not have any show-off mentality in his heart, let alone a winner's consciousness. He just replied lightly: "I can't promise you much, but I can say that after the future of Takayama City under my jurisdiction, everyone's lives will be guaranteed, and the Alpine Army will also get the glory that a soldier really deserves." ”

"I believe you, although I hate to admit it, but I have always seen the changes in Stormcastle over the past two years or so, and it is not too much to say that it is a miracle. And you are not only humans, but also dwarves and sea tribes can treat them equally, and I believe that Alpine City will become even better in the future under your leadership. ”

Just after Count Philip said this, Lincoln came out of the room and said to Count Phillip, "Lord of the City, the body of Prince Otter has been sorted out, will it be buried tonight?"

When he heard this, Duke felt that the last trace of energy in Count Fili's body was withdrawn, and he saw Count Fili say weakly: "Send Ott to the Fili family cemetery." ”

"Yes, Lord Castle. ”

Lincoln still maintained his respect for Count Filley, he could dislike the previous Ott, but for Count Filley, he was the object of his allegiance, and the knight was loyal and honored!

"By the way, Lincoln, don't call me Lord of the City in the future, in the future, you and the Alpine Cavalry Regiment will be under the command of Viscount Duke, and the object of your allegiance in the future will also be Viscount Duke. ”

Count Filip looked at Duke and said emphatically, "Duke, I have handed over the Storm Army to you, and I hope you can still treat them equally. ”

After saying this, Count Philip did not wait for Duke's answer, and followed the corpse of Ott and walked towards the exit step by step. Because this kind of promise is meaningless, even if Duke just can't do it, Filip can't do anything in the future, and it can only be up to Duke to do it himself.

Watching Count Filip leave, Duke knew that the middle-aged man's reign in Alpine City was over, and the only thing he could do was to keep his previous promise and give Count Fili a place to retire. If you can, help Count Fili find a wife and continue the bloodline of the Fili family, after all, this world also attaches great importance to family inheritance.

"Your name is Lincoln, right, I learned some information about you from Fedor. I don't like to force people, so I give you a choice between being loyal to me or leaving. But I can promise you that as long as you join the sequence of the Storm Army, you will be an inseparable member of the Storm Army in the future, and the Alpine Cavalry will also become the Storm Troopers of the future, just as Count Philip said, without discrimination!"

Hearing Duke's promise, Lincoln obviously had an excited look on his face, this was the answer he was waiting for, and it was also something he had thought about and decided before.

So Lincoln replied without the slightest hesitation: "I, Lincoln, am willing to swear allegiance to Lord Duke to the death, and at the same time, the Alpine Cavalry Regiment will also fight for Stormcastle in the future!"

"Very good, you now gather the Alpine Army, the most important thing is to appease them, and make them understand that the future will only be better!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After Lincoln received the order, he walked out of the city lord's mansion directly, after all, there are still 10,000 small mountain troops now, even if there are some diehards of Ultra, or those who are unwilling to obey other masters, at least there are more than 5,000 mountain troops left, not to mention the French Empire, any empire on the continent is a very good force, after all, they are not farmers, but a professional lord army!
