484 Provocation to the Holy See
Duke looked at the Light Army in front of him, led by an old acquaintance of his own, and it can even be said that he had fought against the Storm Army at the beginning, he was the Holy See's Bright Army Paladin Uther stationed in Alpine City.
The title of paladin is different from cavalry in the general sense, its position in the Holy See is also the same as the knight nobility in the Human Empire, it does not require riding skills to obtain, it is more like a high-level swordsman in the imperial system, and a high-level swordsman with holy light magic can be named a paladin by the Holy See!
Uther watched Duke walk out, his face could be described as indescribable, after all, in the first battle outside Stormcastle, the Holy See Army actually did not conquer the small territory of Stormcastle, which was definitely a shame for the Holy See Light Army, and it was the same for him, the Paladin.
According to the rules of the Holy See, in the case of Duke and Alpine City, it is a struggle for the rights of the secular class. As long as they do not take the initiative to attack the Holy See army in the castle, then the Holy See will not take the initiative to participate in it in order to avoid suspicion and show that it does not interfere with the imperial power.
And Duke is naturally not stupid enough to attack any Light Army, and the Storm Army has just rushed into Alpine City, and there is no time to attack the Light Army, and now Uther is leading the Light Army in front of him, which is undoubtedly out of bounds. But this world is like this, the rules are all made by the Holy See himself, even if he crosses the line, what if the ordinary little lords see the Light Army blocking the way, what can they be dissatisfied with and resist?
That's true, but the premise of this sentence is also to add an ordinary small lord, Duke is a small lord, but he is not an ordinary person. So I saw that Duke didn't have the slightest fear in the face of the Light Army, but walked over with a playful smile on his face, and said to Uther: "Your Excellency Paladin, don't you have a good rest on this big night, isn't it okay to lead the Light Army to the streets to blow the cold wind?"
Duke's words instantly made Uther's face change, and even the Bright Army, who was closer to him and heard Duke's words, subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand. For a long time, as the clerical army of the Holy See, they have naturally developed a sense of superiority, and it is this sense of superiority that makes them completely ignore the other lords' armies, even the imperial royal army.
Not to mention that there was a period of time between Duke and the Bright Army in Alpine City before, and now that Duke was talking to himself so arrogantly, Uther felt a kind of provocation, and he directly glared at Duke and replied, "Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Of course I do, that's why I want to say Lord Uther, you're in the way with your army of light. ”
Duke still replied with a smile, but his words made Uther's face change in an instant, no one dared to say that the Holy See army was in the way, even if what he did today was violated, it was not something that a little lord like Duke could speak.
"Duke, you're provoking the Holy See!"
As Uther said this, the Army of Light behind him rushed directly over, as if they wanted to surround Duke. But this time is different, if in the original Storm Fort Defense, the Storm Army faced the initiative of the Holy See Army, they still hesitated in their hearts, then now even if the Pope is standing in front of them, they will not hesitate to do it at all.
The reason is simple, Duke gave them the right to live, gave them the joy of family with their families, and gave them another direction of faith and honor. The Storm Army is no longer fighting for the so-called gods, but for their own future!
I saw that the soldiers of the first regiment of the storm army came up with the action of brushing up, and not only that, Alan directly waved his big hand to let the soldiers launch the signal flare, and the soldiers of the storm army who were dealing with the eleventh legion of the empire in other parts of Alpine City also rushed over to the location of the signal flare after seeing this special signal flare, because this signal flare indicated that the lord was in danger, and all the battle plans of the storm castle put Duke's safety first!
As the second regiment of the Storm Army, the first regiment of the Dwarven Army, and even the reserve knights of the Storm Army outside the city all desperately jumped in the direction of Duke from other blocks, for a while, the sound of heavy footsteps and the sound of armor colliding sounded one after another, and then the Bright Army was surprised to find that they seemed to be surrounded by the Storm Army.
This move of the Storm Army also stunned some soldiers of the Alpine Army and the Eleventh Legion of the Empire, they never thought that there would be a lord army that dared to confront the Holy See Army so rampantly, and even had a posture of active provocation. It's no wonder that Storm Castle has been able to undergo such earth-shaking changes within a few years, and Duke, the lord, is really not an ordinary person.
Feeling the continuous support of the Storm Army's troops, Uther was actually full of shock in his heart, knowing that even if he didn't capture Storm Fort before, it was the Holy See Army's initiative to attack, and it was a punitive move.
But now it's completely different, a small lord actually dares to take the initiative to surround the Bright Army, which is an extremely rare thing in the history of the continent, at least in Uther's memory, in the French Empire, only when Fran III and IV were at their strongest, they made such a move against the Holy See Army.
But soon Emperor Fran tasted the consequences, not to mention going to the Pope's castle to kneel down and admit his mistakes, and then he was punished step by step by the Holy See to the point where he was about to fall apart. From this, it can be seen that what are the consequences of provoking the Holy See army, as long as there is nothing wrong with the lord's mind, he will not make such a stupid mistake, does Duke really think that he can provoke the Holy See?
All Uther was not afraid at all, and stood directly in front of Duke, and said coldly to him: "Duke, the one who attacked the Holy See is dead, do you want to challenge the authority of the Cult of Light?"
In the face of Uther's naked threat, Duke did not speak, but the dwarven hammer standing behind him really couldn't help it, and he couldn't see his lord being threatened by the people of the Holy See.
"What's wrong with attacking you, we dwarves still fought with your Holy See army in the past, and we are not alive and well today. If it weren't for the peace-loving Elves who chose to give up, otherwise there would still be a place for your Light God Sect on the continent today?"
Uther didn't even look at Hammer's words, because he knew that the dwarves had such big mouths, and it was a waste of time to talk to them, and only Duke was the protagonist today!
