On the elf army side, as soon as the news about Delk came, Marshal Philip already knew the purpose of the other party's visit.

And he now has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

So at this time, Marshal Philip obviously had no interest in talking nonsense with Delk.

As soon as the communication was connected, he said simply and clearly...

"Delke, nothing you say now can stop me from withdrawing my troops. You know, if something like this happens, I can no longer let the elven army stay on the front line. This is my responsibility!"

"I know Philip."

Delk had a good personal relationship with Marshal Philip. Now that they were having private conversations, some unnecessary polite remarks could naturally be avoided.

"I'm not here to advise you to stay on the front line. I hope that after you return to the Elf Kingdom, you can think calmly and not be easily swayed by your emotions, especially to keep an eye on His Royal Highness Prince Ajer. Philip, you should

understand what I meant."

Delk's words could be said to be very sincere. Marshal Philip could feel that what he said was really out of good intentions.

Invisibly, Marshal Phillip's tone, which had become a little stiff due to various things, softened slightly, but after thinking of some things, Marshal Phillip's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of anger.

wry smile.

"I will do my best. I hope I will have the opportunity to sit and drink together in the future."

After saying that, Marshal Philip cut off communication with Delk.

He has too many things to be busy with now. The reason for all this is not only because of the bad news that suddenly came from the rear, but also because after receiving the news, Ajer had taken his direct subordinates without authorization.

The troops rushed back.

Marshal Philip, who learned the news at that time, was greatly frightened.

Originally, if they returned together, with him watching, even if Ajer made some impulsive actions, he would be able to control it in time.

But now? Ajer was one step ahead of him and took his own troops back with him.

That would be a troublesome situation!

Judging from the current intelligence, His Majesty the Elf King is deceased and he is not here. If Ajer loses control of his emotions and makes any impulsive move, who can stop him in time?

Ajer's character is no secret on the front line.

Delk undoubtedly knew this, so he said what he said.

Without any time to think about it, Marshal Philip handed all the follow-up evacuation work on the front line to his adjutant, while he himself also brought a troop to chase Ajer, who had left before him.

Of course, once Ajer enters the subspace channel, he will most likely not be able to catch up.

Marshal Philip now only hopes that he can not be too late so that everything can be stopped in time.

Some people may wonder why Marshal Philip is so pessimistic and thinks something will happen?

This is not just because of Ajer's impulsive personality.

According to the report given to him by his adjutant, what Ajer received at that time was not only news for their frontline elven army, but also news for himself alone.

When His Majesty the Elf King passed away, what would be written in the message to Ajer alone?

You don’t even have to guess! That was 100% a message sent to him by Ajer’s supporters, asking him to go back and inherit the throne of the Elf King!

Originally, this matter was nothing.

The tradition of their elves also emphasizes the primogeniture system. As the eldest son of the elven royal family, it was natural for Ajer to return to inherit the throne when the previous king passed away.

But there are some variables here that make this matter not so simple.

The late King Jason Rust was Marshal Philip's brother-in-law. Although there was no direct blood relationship between them, they were as close as brothers.

Otherwise, Jason Rust would not have handed over all the military power of the Elf Kingdom to him simply because Marshal Philip was his uncle.

Under this premise, Marshal Phillip had actually vaguely noticed Jason Rust's change of mind long before.

This change should have started when the eldest lady from the Ye Chamber of Commerce came to their Elf Kingdom.

Prince Ivan, who was originally thought by the elders around him to only play around and not do his job, gradually showed his talents.

Later, when Jason Rust ordered him to take Prince Ajer to support the Vanega Republic and even join the subsequent expeditionary force, Marshal Philip further confirmed his suspicions.

Although Prince Ajer took the initiative to ask for the war at that time, and he himself had been in the army all year round and was brave and good at fighting, it didn't seem to be a strange thing for him to lead the army to go out to show the strength of their Elf Kingdom.

At the same time, judging from Jason Rust's age, he is still far from the time to abdicate.

Therefore, this move can also be understood as wanting to further train his successor.

After all, it is no secret that Prince Ajer is extremely repulsive and distrustful of other races. Now that their Elf Kingdom has been opened, future development will inevitably require contact with other countries. If Prince Ajer continues to do this, he will definitely

It's not possible.

In this way, Jason Rust's decision at that time can be completely understood as that he wanted to use the expeditionary force's actions to allow Prince Ajer to have in-depth contact and cooperation with various forces, thereby abandoning his prejudices and becoming a

Gotta be more mature.

However, it would be a bit unreasonable to talk about supporting the Vanega Republic, and then let the future heir participate in the expedition when a heir has already been identified, right?

After all, supporting the Vanega Republic is still within control, but the variables of the expedition are too great.

Taking this into consideration, it can only be said that from that time on, Jason Rust, in his heart, or maybe just subconsciously, began to gradually prefer Prince Ivan to succeed him.

It's just that no one was aware of this problem at the time...

At the same time, Jason Rust is unlikely to talk to anyone about such an extremely sensitive issue.

Marshal Philip is the exception.

Not only because they are as close as brothers, but also because Marshal Philip is the generalissimo who controls the legion of their Elf Kingdom.

Whether it is to establish the second son as the first heir or to succeed the new king, his support is indispensable.

Therefore, in these years, in addition to asking about Ajer's current situation, Jason Rust also mentioned Ivan's affairs in his communications with Marshal Philip.

Even some time ago, Jason Rust made it clear that he felt that Ivan was more suitable to succeed him as the Elf King.
