After listening to Ivan's thoughts, Marshal Philip fell into silence and did not make a sound for a long time.

This reaction actually made Ivan feel a little uneasy.

To put it bluntly, these things were his own ideas, and his uncle, Marshal Philip, undoubtedly had more experience than him.

Although this plan, in his own opinion, is already the optimal solution at present.

But in his uncle's opinion, maybe it wasn't?

It's even possible that his plan was very unsound in his uncle's eyes, but that's not necessarily the case.

Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help but ask...

"Does uncle think my plan is inappropriate?"

As he spoke, Ivan let out a heavy breath, and then rubbed his tired face vigorously with both hands, as if to cheer himself up.

"My father died in the palace of the Black Iron Empire. I respected him very much. My father's death also made me very painful, but I always thought that my father's death was too strange and full of irrationality..."

In the process of speaking, the ups and downs of emotions made Ivan's breathing become rapid.

This forced Ivan to adjust his breathing again and again.

"At the same time, knowing the situation in the country, I have absolutely no intention of fighting to the death with the Black Iron Empire. All my actions are aimed at armistice..."

At this point, Ivan almost lost control of his emotions.

At this moment, Marshal Philip, who was sitting opposite, could clearly feel the pain and struggle Ivan was suffering!

Marshal Philip wanted to comfort him, but before he could say anything, Ivan himself took deep breaths again and again to forcefully control his emotions.

"Uncle, as my father's son, am I too bad?"

Faced with Ivan's sudden question, Marshal Philip was stunned. At that moment, even he didn't know what to say.

Indeed, when his father died, as a son, Ivan did not think about revenge for him. Instead, he felt that this matter was too strange and unreasonable. He even had to contend with the person who was most suspected of his father's death, and even in other places.

From the elf's point of view, the guy who is directly the murderer stopped fighting, which is too bad no matter how you look at it.

But everything has two sides...

"Ivan, uncle can guarantee that you are not bad. Compared with other elves, you just know how to control your emotions better. As a ruler, this is a good thing, because any decision you make will have an impact on you."

An entire elven kingdom was affected."

While speaking, Marshal Philip put his hand on Ivan's head, and as an elder, gave Ivan some comfort.

"It's remarkable that you can remain rational, restrain yourself, and not let the Elf Kingdom become a tool for you to vent your hatred when the matter has not yet been completely clarified."

"And on the military front, my uncle and I have the most say. In the case of a large-scale military expedition, the few troops left to garrison in the country are enough just to garrison the country. But once troops need to be sent out, the troops will basically be stretched thin.

, Under such circumstances, it is already remarkable that you can stabilize the situation and persist until now. You should know His Majesty well, and he will be proud of you."

At this moment, this is indeed the true thought in Marshal Philip's mind.

It can be said that Marshal Philip didn't know much about his little nephew, but to a certain extent, he knew him very well.

Because in the correspondence between the late king Jason Rust and him, the other party often mentioned Ivan.

It is not difficult to see from this that the late king was really very optimistic about Ivan, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had high hopes for him.

Now, although Marshal Philip has just returned from the front line, Marshal Philip, who has learned about the other party's thoughts and some ideas of doing things through simple exchanges, will naturally compare Ivan and Ajer unconsciously in his mind.

.

Although Ajer is much older in terms of age, his temper is still too impulsive and far less rational and calm than Ivan.

At the same time, at the beginning, Marshal Philip was still a little worried. After all, judging from the incident, Ivan's behavior was indeed a bit too cold-blooded in the face of his father's death.

But now it seems that he was wrong.

As he said just now, Ivan is not a cold-blooded child, he is just more rational and knows how to control his emotions.

Under this premise, Ivan's pain is suppressed in his heart and will not be revealed easily.

But when facing his uncle, the painful emotions he had been accumulating finally found a certain degree of catharsis.

As his thoughts whirled, Marshal Philip gently held Ivan in his arms.

"Speaking of which, I am away from home all the time. Since you can remember, uncle, I really haven't held you in my arms for many years. Cry, cry, my child. Just cry. You have to remember, even if the sky falls,

My uncle is also supporting me!"

At that moment, Ivan, who had been trying his best to suppress his emotions, finally couldn't control his emotions anymore, took off his forced appearance, and burst into tears in the arms of his uncle, Marshal Philip.

The catharsis of emotions allowed Ivanagan's nerves, which had been strained to the limit since his father Jason Rust's unexpected death, to finally be relieved.

After some venting, Ivan, who had re-adjusted his emotions, looked at Marshal Philip again, feeling a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

Fortunately, Marshal Philip is still reliable. Although he is usually stern due to his duties, he has lived for so many years and has rich experience and experience. In a few words, he relaxed the atmosphere.

After that, they talked about some serious business, and the main topic undoubtedly revolved around the 'missing' Ajer.

If Ajer really ran to the battlefield without permission and got involved, it would definitely have a certain impact on Ivan's plan.

But according to Marshal Philip, considering the size of the troops directly under Ajer, the impact it can have in a war at the level of armies between the two sides should be relatively limited.

Unless Ajer directly led the army to turn defeat into victory, otherwise, it would not have much impact on Ivan's original plan.

After all, as long as the army can withdraw to the border, Ivan's plan will basically be completed.

Of course, on the other hand, if Ajer can really lead a large army to turn defeat into victory, it seems that there will be no loss to their Elf Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, it is actually good for them.
