Chapter 4851 Choice
If the situation after the death of the late King Jason Rast in the Black Iron Palace was compared to an abyss, then by virtue of his own ability, Ivan had undoubtedly climbed from that abyss step by step. Out.
Seeing that we are about to get out of trouble, hope is ahead!
However, Ajer's return pushed him and the Elf Kingdom into a deeper abyss!
"Is the elf kingdom going to collapse in my hands?"
Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help covering his face with a broken face.
His father's expectations and the inheritance of the Rust royal family made Ivan miserable at this time, and he felt that he had failed his father's expectations.
"Uncle, if I go to Big Brother now and promise to quit the competition for the throne and let Big Brother succeed him, can all this be salvaged?"
Hearing this sentence, Marshal Philip, who was sitting opposite, was shocked.
Immediately looked up at Ivan, although I couldn't see Ivan's expression directly, Marshal Philip had already felt Ivan's exhaustion and the collapse that gradually emerged from the exhaustion from those few words!
Unlike before, Marshal Philip, who had been completely disappointed with Ajer, walked slowly to Ivan, and then gently held the other's cheek, and his eyes met...
"Ivan, look into my eyes, do you really think it's okay to hand over the Elf Kingdom to Ajer?"
A simple question, if I were the former Ivan, I would definitely affirm it without hesitation, but the current Ivan, after going through so many things, he has to admit that he is no longer who he was. , and his eldest brother is no longer the eldest brother he used to be...
Therefore, facing the question of Marshal Philip, Ivan fell into silence.
"Elf Kingdom. Is it really okay to leave it to Big Brother?"
Ask yourself, facing this question at this time, Ivan has no way to give a positive answer.
In other words, considering it from a rational point of view, this is a stupid decision no matter what.
After all, until now, his eldest brother Ajer has exposed too many problems.
To put it simply, his eldest brother is not suitable to be the elf king. Ivan can't imagine at all, once the eldest brother succeeds to the throne and becomes a new generation of elf king, at that time, his eldest brother will take the elf kingdom to what kind of situation.
The Elf Kingdom is not only the hard work of the father and their Rust royal family, but also the habitat of countless elves.
Handing over the elf kingdom to the big brother Ajer, wouldn't that be betting on their entire elf tribe? !
Thinking of this, Ivan took a deep breath and shook his head.
At this moment, facing Marshal Philip, although Ivan was still tired, his eyes had become firm.
"Uncle, the Elf Kingdom cannot be handed over to Big Brother!"
At this moment, Marshal Philip, who was also exhausted physically and mentally, felt a sense of relief in his heart.
At least this time, he didn't make the wrong choice!
At the same time, during the period when they were silent with each other just now, Marshal Philip also rationalized his thoughts.
Now he has some thoughts about what Ajer might do next.
"At this stage, our elven kingdom is facing foreign enemies. According to my understanding of Ajer, he should not cause a civil war at this time. After all, the elven kingdom has been severely damaged, and it is not good for him."
Speaking of which, Marshal Philip's voice paused slightly, and after sorting his thoughts a little, he continued to speak...
"And this time, he also used 'revenge against the Dark Iron Empire' as a pretext. After he said this, if he turned his head and started a war with us, wouldn't it be equivalent to breaking his promise in public? Punching himself in the face? At the same time, this move itself will damage his reputation among the people, and Ajer will not be so stupid."
"What do you mean, uncle..."
"Ajel is afraid that he really wants to gather his forces and take revenge on the Dark Iron Empire!"
"..."
"Of course, his real purpose should not be as high-sounding as it sounds on the surface..."
Having said that, Marshal Philip no longer needs to go on. Ivan is not a fool himself, but his understanding of Ajer is not as thorough as that of Marshal Philip. I was exhausted physically and mentally, and even my thinking ability began to decline, so I didn't react immediately.
Ajel's ultimate goal must be to become the Elf King.
Under this premise, what is the biggest problem currently preventing him from becoming the Elf King?
Needless to say, it was the serious consequence of not obeying military orders and acting without authorization.
In order to make up for this loss, Ajer needs a clearer and bigger victory!
Between thoughts flying, Ivan looked at Marshal Philip again...
"Then uncle, what do you think Big Brother plans to do? Is he going to support the frontline army?"
"Support the front-line army? Not likely."
Facing Ivan's guess, Marshal Philip shook his head directly.
"The front-line army has run out of combat power, the rear forces are limited, and Ajer's forces are even more limited. To support the front-line army and fight against the black iron army, it is too difficult to win, so according to my guess, he I'm afraid he wants to lead troops to attack the border of the Dark Iron Empire!"
As soon as Marshal Philip said these words, Ivan was shocked.
After that, Marshal Philip also analyzed Ajer's entire tactical thinking with him.
After all, Ajel was brought out by Marshal Philip. At the tactical level, his thoughts could not be concealed from Marshal Philip. It can be said that he was clearly analyzed by Marshal Philip.
In the end, even Ivan had to admit that the possibility was indeed great.
To tell the truth, considering the current situation of the Elf Kingdom, they could not gather their troops and stationed at the border. Instead, because of the existence of Ajer, they were forced to divide their troops and even attack the border of the Dark Iron Empire. For their Elven Kingdom, this may not be the case. It's a good thing, and at the same time it completely messed up Ivan's original plan.
But anyway, it's better than a civil war.
After that, Ajer's actions did not exceed Marshal Philip's expectations. After his troops gathered to a certain scale, Ajer did not continue to stay in the kingdom, but directly took his army and left the border.
Before leaving, he also vowed to hold a swearing-in meeting. During the period, he didn't forget to step on Ivan a few times, and he didn't know if it was a bad idea from a minister under Ajer's command.
Anyway, according to Marshal Philip's understanding of Ajer, although this guy has an impulsive personality, he is really not the kind of elf who can use this method.
The means of spreading public opinion in the past, and the follow-up behavior of trampling, are not like Ajer's style.
