Chapter 4849, the predicament
In the lounge of the Elf King's castle, Yin Wan's face was full of exhaustion, while Marshal Phillip, who was sitting opposite, had a livid face.
It goes without saying what happened during this period. Obviously, none of them expected that Ajer would do something like this.
Previously, Marshals Yin Wan and Philip took Ajer's identity and position into consideration, so they did not directly announce those things. Undoubtedly, they did not want to force Ajer into a dead end.
Who would have thought that their mercy failed to bring about Ajer's remorse, but instead gave the other party a chance to bite them back!
Before this incident happened, Ajer had a high reputation in the Elf Kingdom, but now the other party took the lead and attacked them, working together to seize the throne.
With the support of Ajer's reputation, even if they later came forward to clarify and clarify the truth, a large number of citizens still did not believe it at all.
Compared with Yin Wan, the citizens now seem to be more willing to trust the 'national hero'.
During the recent period, the refutation of rumors and internal government affairs, as well as a large number of subsequent troubles, have made Yin Wan physically and mentally exhausted. At the same time, the actions of his elder brother Ajer also made Yin Wan feel chilled.
In fact, let alone Yin Wan, even Marshal Philip, who still had a little thought for Ajer before, is now completely disappointed with him.
According to the latest news, Ajer started openly recruiting troops in the name of attacking the Black Iron Empire to avenge his father.
The act of recruiting soldiers is already extremely sensitive.
Because theoretically speaking, in their elf kingdom, there is only one elf who is qualified to issue recruitment documents, and that is the elf king.
Now that the late king has passed away, before his death, the late king handed over the governing power to the second prince Yin Wan, so this power naturally fell into the hands of the second prince Yin Wan.
Logically speaking, at this stage, even the eldest prince Ajer is not qualified to recruit soldiers at all.
But the public opinion stirred up by the other party completely disrupted this matter.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ajer began recruiting troops on a large scale.
This move is definitely not a good thing for the Elf Kingdom.
Due to the previous war, the reserve strength of their Elf Kingdom was already very small. Under this premise, Ajer's conscription was equivalent to spreading their strength.
Marshals Yin Wan and Philip wanted to stop it and called on the people to distinguish right from wrong and not to respond to Ajer's call.
But the overall effect was not ideal, and even in the process, some very unpleasant words were heard among the people.
This is also the fundamental reason why Marshal Philip's face is ashen at this time.
After all, the greater the expectations for Marshal Philip, the greater the disappointment.
At this time, Yin Wan's mentality was relatively calm.
"Uncle, don't you have any way to stop it?"
Taking a deep breath, Yin Wan temporarily suppressed his brotherly love and began to devote his energy to the overall situation of the Elf Kingdom.
No matter what he thought, for the sake of the Elf Kingdom, he definitely could no longer allow Ajer to continue to act so wantonly.
According to Yin Wan's idea, his uncle, Marshal Philip, is the Elf Marshal with the most seniority and the highest military rank in the Elf Kingdom. If his uncle comes forward, he can at least prevent the Elf Kingdom's garrison troops distributed on various planets from responding.
Jer's call.
But the reality is obviously not what he expected...
Marshal Philip shook his head with an ugly expression.
"Yin Wan, you don't know something. Judging from my military position, I am indeed the highest elf marshal in the kingdom, but not every elf general in the kingdom's military obeys me, and this situation is even more special..."
Although Marshal Philip did not say the next words directly, Yin Wan still understood it quickly.
This situation is special, so the person calling for conscription at this time is the first heir of their Elf Kingdom, the eldest prince Ajer.
And unlike Yin Wan, the eldest prince Ajer has been in the army for many years and has accumulated a huge reputation in the army.
Now, under the guidance of public opinion, another title has been added in front of this name, that is, 'national hero'.
Although Marshal Philip is also well-known in the country, he has been leading expeditions in recent years and has been away from the country for many years. His influence in the country has inevitably declined.
And in their elven kingdom, whether they are marshals or generals, in the final analysis, they all have to serve the Royal Family of Rast?
Considering this, Ajer ended up as a prince and faced off against Marshal Philip. Although it cannot be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow, it undoubtedly has a huge advantage in itself.
After all, in the eyes of the elves who follow the great prince, Marshal Philip is just a marshal after all, not a member of the Rast royal family, nor does he come from a wealthy family. How can he compare with the future elf king?
Now that I have followed the eldest prince, I only need to wait for them to return in triumph and the eldest prince succeeds to the throne. When the time comes, won’t that bring honor and blessings to future generations?
Yawen Library
Under this premise, Ajer, who received a large number of responses, relied on the troops in his hands to directly occupy a star field near the border of the kingdom, quite intent on establishing himself as king.
During this period, Marshals Yin Wan and Philip sent envoys there to try to negotiate with them and solve the problem.
But Ajer had no intention of negotiating with them at all. The envoys he sent were basically rejected or simply thrown out.
During this process, Yin Wan and Marshal Philip did not think about using force directly.
Ajer gathered his troops. Whether he really wanted to seek revenge from the Black Iron Empire or had other motives, it would not be a good thing for them.
If it can be surrounded and controlled by its troops in time, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for Yin Wan and Marshal Philip.
But unfortunately, they can't do it, or they can't do it.
As mentioned before, the number of elves who responded to Ajer's call was considerable. There were even troops stationed at the border of the kingdom, and even many troops were among the expeditionary army currently stationed at the border when they returned to the elven kingdom following Marshal Philip.
After receiving the call, he fell directly to Prince Ajer.
It is enough to see how much support Prince Ajer has in the military.
This allowed Ajer to quickly gather a sizable army.
Facing this large army, if the two sides fight, and Yin Wan's side is commanded by Marshal Philip, even if Yin Wan can win in the end, the victory will not be easy, and at the same time, he will have to pay a high price.
This made both Yin Wan and Marshal Philip realize clearly that they must avoid this battle.
The situation on the front line is already bad enough. If civil strife breaks out again, Yin Wan cannot even imagine the situation that will follow.
Based on this premise, encircling Ajer will only increase the friction between them. Once a battle breaks out, the matter will be irreversible.
This is also the biggest reason why they can't do this!
