The appearance of the Black Eagle Knight of the Hans Empire caused a little wave in the Alakou Fortress, but this kind of thing is only known to a few people, so everyone pretends that nothing has happened as always.

Duke spent five or six days at Alakou Fortress before returning to the Storm Army camp with the Storm Army's 3rd Regiment rotational soldiers. Alan didn't know if he hadn't found the connector who had been in the barbarians before, or if there was some accident, it had been almost ten days, and he still hadn't seen him come back.

Back at the storm camp, Princess Gina came to Duke as soon as possible, apparently to ask about the situation of the Alakou Fortress, but in fact, she was a little bored in the Imperial Army camp and wanted to talk to Duke.

Although the commanders of the Imperial Army, Marquis Patton and Marquis Stilwell, respect him very much, and Marquis Patton is also doing his best to help Gina understand the situation of the Imperial Army and prepare her to take over the position of commander. But in fact, Princess Gina felt that the Imperial Army only had superficial respect for her, because this was the real field army of the Empire, and it was a bit of a hardship for a woman with no historical record to lead them.

Princess Ji Na can naturally feel this strange feeling, but she can't change this situation, after all, the imperial army is already entrenched, and she, a rookie princess of the royal family, can't shake it without strength.

"Duke, do you say that my failure has had too much impact before, I don't have the confidence I had when I came here these days, and I always feel that I can't command these subordinates. ”

Princess Gina said with a distressed look on her face, she had nothing to hide in front of Duke.

It's just that Duke is in a very complicated mood this time, after all, the Imperial Army and Marquis Patton are aimed at him, and it is also an order issued by Jina's father. If he was an outcast before, then now Henry VII has no intention of giving himself a way to live.

In front of him is the woman who wants to kill his enemy, of course Duke knows that this kind of thing has nothing to do with Jina, but he doesn't know how the two sides should face it if it really comes to the day when they meet each other.

"What are you thinking, what am I asking you?"

Gina immediately noticed that Duke was distracted, because according to past experience, this guy might jump out and laugh at herself, this kind of situation of not saying anything is really abnormal.

"I didn't think about anything, it's normal for you to be in this situation, whether it's the Guards or the First Legion of the Empire, they have been under the command of Patton and Marquis Stilwell for a long time, and it's strange that a woman suddenly comes over to lead the army, and they will be convinced of you. ”

"What's wrong with women, are women inherently worse than men? Think of the Elven Queen, the nun of arc of the human race, they have all led armies and fought amazing battles, do you dare to say that they are not women?"

Princess Gina pouted at this time, looking unconvinced. She didn't think she was worse than boys since she was a child, and Prince Edward, who was a relatively good member of the royal family, left the palace very early to lead the army alone, and the rest were not very good royal families like the Prince of Andorra and Prince Harry, which highlighted Jina's excellence, so it was normal for her to have such thoughts.

"I'm not discriminating against women, I'm just telling the truth. If you really want an army that is completely under your control, then build it yourself!"

Duke said the key to Princess Kina, in fact, many of the reasons why she failed were not because of her, but because she accepted an army that had been formed very early, and she had not cultivated her own power at all, how could she completely control the army?

When Princess Jina heard Duke say this, her face showed a hint of gloom and replied: "The princess does not have an independent fiefdom, so I have no way to build my own army. ”

Now the reason is actually back to the problem that Duke said at the beginning, that is, the identity of Gina woman. Even if the status of women in the Middle Ages has not yet reached a lowly stage, there is still a big gap with men, and the royal princess does not have an independent fief, unless Jina inherits the French Empire and is crowned queen.

Seeing Ji Na's gloomy look, Duke originally wanted to tease her a few words, but the words came to his lips and swallowed again, turning into comfort and said: "Okay, in fact, you have done a very good job, the Guards and the First Legion of the Empire do not belong to you after all, you just need to position yourself as a leader, and the specific command will be handed over to Marquis Patton, why bother yourself." ”

"But I want to prove myself!"

Princess Gina replied almost immediately, but after she finished speaking, she quickly turned her head away from Duke, not wanting Duke to see the expression on her face. As an outstanding student of the Martial Arts Academy, the proud daughter of the sky in the eyes of many people, the battlefield that Gina yearns for, has always wanted to become a female general like Sister Joan of Arc and the Elven Queen.

But the reality is a fatal blow to Gina, she feels that she has failed almost everywhere, and the previous self-confidence begins to slowly dissipate after hitting a wall, and she becomes very eager to prove herself.

After Duke heard his words, he looked at Princess Jina's head when she turned her head, and didn't know what he was thinking at the time, Duke suddenly patted Jina's head lightly with his hand, and said in a doting tone: "Everyone wants to prove themselves, and I used to do the same." But many times it is not possible to prove yourself in a moment, as long as you persevere, I believe you will have that day. ”

Princess Gina didn't want Duke to see her frustrated side, but when she felt a hand tap on her head, she felt like she had been electrocuted. If it were an ordinary person, Ji Na estimated that she would pull out her long sword and stab it on the spot, but this was Duke's action, and Ji Na could only stand stiffly in place, not daring to make any movements.

After hearing Duke's gentle words of comfort, Gina didn't expect this annoying guy to have such a warm side. However, Gina didn't want Duke to look down on him, so she turned around and pretended to be proud and replied: "Hmph! I am the noble princess of the French Empire, of course there will be a day to prove myself!"

Seeing Ji Na's proud look, Duke also felt that he was a little too hypocritical, so he immediately returned to his previous state and replied: "Then you go and prove yourself, I hope you don't have to wait for a hundred years!"

"Do you think I'm a straw bale like you, and it will take a hundred years to prove myself?"

"Isn't my Storm Army enough to prove itself? ”

"Duke, you bastard, I will also have a strong queen army in the future, you wait and see for me!"
