The Welz family emblem of the battle dragon heart city.


    "What does that mean?!"


    "This is something that belongs to you. It has nothing to do with whether you admit it or not." Archduke ellemans, with his hands on his back, went to the side of the gray pupil boy:


    "My father chose me that day because he was worried that you were too impulsive and eager to prove yourself, but... That doesn''t mean I have to hold the same view as my father."


    "As the current Archduke of El Mans, I don''t think the next successor must also be a decision-maker with absolute reason and calm judgment." Yuli vilz, who faces Lucian, looks indistinguishable:


    "In the face of the next situation, he may also need such characteristics, but he also needs desperate courage and the determination to win by any means."


    Glancing at Lucian, who was completely stunned, Archduke ellemans turned his eyes to another direction:


    "Am I right, Lord Loren Turin, Duke of Byrne?"


    The black haired wizard who was suddenly "named" showed a slightly embarrassed smile - he didn''t want to get involved in this "brotherhood and brotherhood".


    But before Loren, Archduke ellemans had finished the embarrassment first.


    "Sorry."


    "Huh?"


    "The enemy''s attack was beyond my judgment. I didn''t expect... No, I should have known that rodriya Azor could guess that there would be troops blocking halfway."


    "Don''t mention these." Loren consciously changed the topic: "how are the casualties of the Flemish Legion? Is the situation serious?"


    As soon as the voice fell, Loren noticed a chill in Yuli vilz''s eyes.


    "If there are casualties... You should have seen it." Yuli vilz''s expression became cold:


    "I guessed that the enemy might be prepared for blocking, so all the elite brought from the imperial capital are the rest - more than one tenth of the casualties, close to one fifth."


    "My two deputies, one of whom is the Earl of El Mans, led the guards to be entangled by the enemy in order to protect me during the raid, attracting three times the enemy to buy me enough time."


    "As for the casualties since the start of the war, it is already immeasurable - more than half of the 7000 vanguards have lost. The 30000 dragon heart city soldiers I brought out from my hometown have gone three times today."


    "You should know that our soldiers... Don''t have many ways to deal with these enemies who have excellent swordsmanship, tacit cooperation and special strength."


    "There is no other way than to fight in array and give your life."


    Yuli weltz''s voice was very flat, but it still made Lauren hear the pain in his voice: "it is precisely because they fought bravely and bloody battles that they would rather die than retreat; as their Duke, I can stand here alive and talk to you."


    "Otherwise... I may become the second leader of a country killed by the Azores after master corona."


    Dimly, Archduke ellemans''s eyes darkened.


    Plain words, but aroused the resonance of many people around.


    Although more than half a year has passed since the declaration of war, the Azores can be called terrible combat power, which has left a deep shadow in the hearts of the imperial people.


    The knight of Byrne, the two handed swordsman of ellemans, the "black wall" of Saxony... The top combat power of the empire can''t get any advantage in the face of Azores Elven warriors, and even rely on "sneak attack" to win back a little advantage.


    Ordinary soldiers have no room to parry in front of Azor long knives... After losing the advantages of close formation, number and terrain, they almost end up being slaughtered by one side.


    There''s only one way to fight and die.


    With countless corpses, pave the way to victory or not disastrous defeat.


    The strength of the Azores broke the pride of the Empire accumulated over the past century - the glory of the 13th generation, which was torn apart in front of the sharp Azores long knife.


    "Forget it, don''t say that."


    Archduke ellemans shook his head and said, "Lord Loren Turin, what you need to consider now is not the Azores outside the imperial capital."


    "In a sense, the people in the city who need your protection may be the real trouble for you."


    When the voice fell, the expressions of the people on one side changed - especially the Knights of the Byrne Legion.


    I had long guessed that it would be such a dark haired wizard, but I saw a lot: "how serious can it be?"


    "More than you can imagine." Yuli vilz shook his head.


    "Because of the previous disastrous defeat and the siege of the Azores, the imperial nobles are now extremely sensitive to ''power'' and are worried that their power will be taken away by us all the time."


    "Coercion and inducement, both soft and hard... In order to keep their power and status, the imperial parliament has reached the extreme level, and it even seems to me that it is close to the level of ''Madness''."


    "I thought that with the former cabinet, the nobles in parliament would be at least slightly restricted, but now it seems that this idea is really naive." Archduke ellemans sighed:


    "The de sallion royal family curled up in the heavenly palace and didn''t care about the world. The Holy Cross Church encouraged it behind its back, and some stingy chambers of Commerce encouraged it. In addition, his majesty Connor..."


    Yuli wilz stopped talking.


    The dark haired wizard probably understood something.


    "You mean... The nobles of the imperial capital probably won''t even let me in?"


    "Not very likely, but certain." Yuli weiltz looked at Loren with a somewhat complicated expression:


    "Although I understand your plan is to help the imperial capital lift the siege, it is by no means so in the eyes of those nobles - in their view, you are the second black Duke in those years; any imperial nobles who remember the era of the black Duke will not be willing to accept such a result."


    "Even if they know it''s impossible, they will fight desperately."


    "Really?"


    The dark haired wizard smiled with disapproval. Without waiting to say anything, the embarrassed Yuli weiltz suddenly stepped forward with his silver eyes staring at his face:


    "Loren Turin... I''m not kidding you."


    "I don''t think you''re joking."


    "What are you going to do next, attack the gate of the imperial capital and then kill all the way into the sky palace? What''s the difference between you and the Azores outside the city?"


    "It''s a big difference... At least my ears are not that sharp."


    "I repeat, I''m not joking!" Archduke ellemans frowned and said coldly: "the sky palace... This is my bottom line, as well as the bottom line of the royal family and Empire, if you..."


    "If I really want to do it, I don''t need so much trouble!" Lauren interrupted impolitely:


    "Imagine if I really want to seize power or bloodbath the imperial Parliament and house arrest the royal family, why should I send reinforcements to defend the imperial capital - wouldn''t it be better if they were besieged by the Elven Prince''s army and the city was about to be destroyed?"


    "From the beginning to the end, there is only one thing I want to do, that is to ensure that the imperial capital will not fall; in order to ensure this, I need to get the power to control the city, otherwise I can''t do it at all."


    "You who have personally guarded this city should know this better than me!"


    Yuli weiltz finally calmed down, no longer refuted, but silently watched the black haired wizard.


    "... what do you need me to do?"
