In the face of Uther's threats and warnings, Duke's brain was also spinning urgently, he was thinking about what the consequences would be if he really did this, whether he could put this matter on hold, and rely on the strength of the two small cities of Storm Castle and Alpine City to withstand the punishment of the Holy See.

The answer is actually obvious, with the current strength of Storm Castle, even if it annexes Alpine City, it is basically useless to face the punishment of the Holy See. I want to show my attitude, but if I really do it to the Bright Army, I don't know whether to live or die.

Duke is not such a stupid person, his arrogance is only to show his subordinates that his lord is not afraid of the Holy See, and to establish a confidence in them that they will not be shorter when they see the Light Army of the Holy See. Now that you have almost done what you should do, you must find a way to resolve this conflict reasonably.

"Attack, I can not take the initiative to attack the Holy See army, but clash with the Imperial army, and the other thing is that I was invited by Count Fili of Alpine City to help him eradicate the rebels. If I'm not mistaken, the Holy See is not allowed to meddle in the lordship struggle between empires, Lord Uther, it seems that you have crossed the line, right?"

Duke still asked with a flat face, although everyone knew that the Holy See was just a torii when he said such a thing, but now that the Holy See itself has not destroyed this archway openly, then it can use the influence brought by this archway.

Sure enough, when Duke raised this sentence, Uther didn't know what to answer, in fact, from the moment of the riot at the city gate, the Army of Light already knew what was going on outside. It can be said that the reason why Uther sent the Bright Army out to block the way was to give Duke a dismount and let him realize whose territory Alpine City really was.

There is also a more important point, that is, what happened at the beginning, not only Uther himself, but the entire 5,000 people of the Bright Army of Alpine City, all of whom were very hostile to the Storm Army, not only did they want to humiliate the Storm Army, but they even did not hesitate to prove the strength of their Holy See by means of war.

Uther was only stunned for a moment, and quickly found a reason to reply: "Alpine City is the jurisdiction of the Holy See's Bright Army, and we have the responsibility and obligation to ensure the safety of the people of Alpine City, so we don't have any problems deploying our defenses. ”

Hearing this, Duke just smiled coldly, and then continued: "Now you can be sure, this is not the Ice Demon attacking, right?, but the internal problem between our Storm Army and the Imperial Army, so how about asking Lord Uther to lead the Light Army back to the camp now?"

Duke's tone at this time was already in a relatively weak position, after all, he couldn't fight with the Bright Army, even if Duke was confident that he would fight with the current Bright Army. Since it's a big deal, it's not a way for the two sides to confront each other, so it's better to admit that the Bright Army retreats, after all, Duke can't afford to drag it out compared to the Bright Army.

In the face of Duke's confession, Uther's face also showed a smile, but it was a victor's smile. He knew that if he really did it, it would not be easy to destroy the storm army in front of him. This is not only a matter of combat effectiveness, but also the fact that this storm army Uther can clearly feel that they do not have the fear of ordinary lord armies.

Without this kind of fear, it means that they dare to fight with their own bright army, and in the current situation of street fighting, it is impossible to fight for a narrow road to win the brave, and it is simply impossible to defeat the other party with very low casualties. If he caused huge casualties to the Light Army in Takayama City because he took the initiative to cause trouble, it would bring a big stain on Uther's priesthood resume.

Because it wasn't a glorious battle, it was just a personal vendetta between Uther and the Bright Army he led. Now that Duke has confessed, there is no point in continuing the stalemate, and it is actually difficult for Uther to bear the consequences of the fight.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Uther's face, Duke understood that this matter was discussed, so he simply approached Uther while the iron was hot and whispered: "Uther, I know that you are very unhappy with me, in fact, I am also with you. But you also have to know that behind me is Cardinal Leonard, and behind you is Archbishop Ore, and as long as Cardinal does not retire for a day, you don't want to take it off unscathed. ”

"And I can tell you one more thing, and that is that soon the bishop of Alpine City will become Kasmai, and you don't want to have a hard time in the future. After all, there is no deep hatred between the two of us, and there is no absolute conflict of interest, so we can completely avoid the river water, I take the initiative to let the soldiers retreat, and then you also withdraw the troops?"

After Duke said this, he didn't care whether Uther was unified or not, and directly stretched out his arm and shouted: "The Storm Army all retreat, make way for the Light Army to return to the camp!"

In the face of Duke's sudden order, the generals of the Storm Army did not understand what Duke had just said, but they could probably guess that the lord must have negotiated something with Uther, the commander of the Light Army. Coupled with the Storm Army's consistent strong execution, after Duke gave the order, the soldiers of the Storm Army were all evacuated as soon as possible, and the Light Army made way for a way.

After making these moves, Duke just looked at Uther with a calm face, everything he could have done had already been done, and it was impossible for him to completely evacuate and abandon Alpine City. And the face and threats have been delivered to Uther, and with the impact of the previous battle, Duke is very sure that Uther can't guess that Duke's so-called relationship with Leonard is framing him.

As long as Uther is not stupid, or has no abnormal head to play with him, then Uther will definitely go down this step.

Sure enough, after hearing Duke's suggestion, Uther's face was also uncertain, and he was also hesitating about the situation after completely turning his face with Duke. What really made him up his mind was that the Kasmai that Duke said would be the bishop of Alpine City.

You must know that the bishop of a city is generally the highest clergyman placed by the Holy See, and a general of the Bright Army like Uther, who is theoretically at the same level as the bishop, and the two sides are both literate and military. But in the event of an emergency, the bishop could order the Bright Army, which is why the Archbishop of Andorra, Ore, could mobilize the Teutonic Knights and the Bright Army to besiege Storm Castle together. If he completely turns his face with Stormcastle because of this matter, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for him to take office, after all, unlike a lord like Duke, Castleman is a person in the system of the Holy See!
