As for whether Ajer went straight to the frontline battlefield, Ivan had already sent a message to the frontline to inquire.

It will undoubtedly take some time from confirmation to transmission of the message.

However, within this scope, the Elf Kingdom's spell communication methods are still quite good, so Ivan quickly confirmed that his eldest brother Ajer had indeed made a move to go straight to the battlefield, and even made some comparisons

The adventurous tactics helped the elven army on the front line regain some of their disadvantages.

And now, Ajer is already on his way back with his own troops.

Ivan, who learned the news, did not conceal it, but openly told it to his uncle, Marshal Philip.

In this report, Barkas did not add any extravagant words, he just said what he said.

Marshal Philip, who knew the nature of his disciple, would naturally not doubt the authenticity of this report.

After reading it, Marshal Philip was secretly relieved.

But judging from the situation and tactics at the time, Marshal Philip actually felt that Ajer's approach was a bit risky.

Because of the situation at that time, according to Ivan's plan, they had a way out, and there was no need to take risks and fight for this.

Not to mention, Ajer still attacked without authorization and forced Bakas to send troops even after Bakas had clearly refused. As a soldier, this kind of move can no longer be said to be 'undesirable', but rather 'disqualified!'

Although you win in the end, this is just a consequential theory. It does not mean that as long as you win, your approach is correct, because there is an element of luck in it.

Of course, since they have won the battle, Marshal Philip will not say much. After all, he has to consider that Ajer is suffering from the pain of losing his father and is not as sensible and restrained as Ivan. In this way,

As a prerequisite, you should always give him some opportunities to vent.

And judging from his subsequent actions, Ajer should not have been completely dazzled by hatred.

Although the use of some tactics has become more radical than usual, overall he still retains some sense and has not done anything irreparably stupid.

Under this premise, since Ajer is already on his way back, as for Ajer, the current thoughts of Ivan and Marshal Philip are to wait for the other party to come back.

During this period, Ivan and Marshal Philip had many ideas in their minds.

In particular, Marshal Philip, whether it was his late sister or his late brother-in-law, all told him to take good care of these two nephews.

Of course Marshal Philip wanted to do this, but he couldn't stop his brother-in-law from causing trouble!

Originally, it would be fine if he chose his eldest son as his heir. However, a few years ago, he began to feel that his younger son Ivan was more suitable.

Of course, Marshal Philip could somewhat understand his brother-in-law's thoughts, but he could not change the fact that this change of behavior had brought him huge trouble.

During the time he came back, Marshal Philip could clearly feel that around the two brothers, the eldest prince Ajer and the second prince Ivan, the elders and ministers in the Elf Kingdom, and even the various elven families, three groups had formed.

A faction.

Those who support the two brothers form their own faction. Others who have not clearly stated their side naturally remain neutral and support whoever comes to power.

Naturally, it doesn't matter to these guys just sitting and watching the show, but he can't! As the uncles of these two brothers, and his two nephews, for Marshal Philip, the palms and backs of his hands are really full of flesh.

Could he still just watch his two nephews fight over the throne of the Elf King?

As his thoughts whirled, Marshal Philip's eyes fell on Ivan.

"Ivan, tell uncle, what exactly do you think?"

Although Marshal Philip's words were not too straightforward, Ivan undoubtedly understood the meaning of the other party's words.

At the same time, Marshal Philip's question was not that simple. There was actually a hint of knowledge in it.

That is, he did not ask about this matter very straightforwardly, so this gave Ivan room to avoid it.

However, when Ivan chose to evade, it was equivalent to admitting that he had some thoughts about the position of the Elf King. Otherwise, he could express his position openly and there was no need to be so secretive and pretend not to understand.

It was impossible for Ivan not to understand the meaning of Marshal Philip's words, but he had no intention of hiding it.

"I can feel that my father probably wanted me to succeed him."

At this moment, Ivan's directness surprised Marshal Philip.

He had thought that Ivan would confess to him, and he had also thought that Ivan would choose to pretend not to understand and avoid the question, but he never expected that Ivan would choose such a direct statement.

But he would not question the authenticity of this sentence, because even he had already felt it from the exchange of messages!

During this period, Ivan felt the subtle changes in Marshal Philip's eyes. Ivan didn't have too many thoughts, but continued talking unhurriedly...

"I can understand my father's thoughts. My father made this decision for the better development of the Elf Kingdom. Compared with his elder brother, he thinks that I am a more suitable choice, but..."

Having said this, Ivan's voice paused slightly, and then he spoke again as if he had made up his mind...

"But I don't want to compete with my eldest brother. If my eldest brother wants to succeed, I am willing to assist him."

Facing Ivan who said this, Marshal Philip looked directly at him seriously. From Ivan's eyes, he could feel Ivan's seriousness.

Ivan was definitely not lying in front of him, he really thought so.

This made Marshal Philip secretly relieved.

Ajer's temper is too stubborn and too impulsive. Under this premise, if Ivan's temper is the same, if the two brothers confront each other head-on, both sides will suffer.

Fortunately, Ivan's temperament is different from Ajer's, and can even be said to be exactly complementary to Ajer's.

Judging from the current situation, Ivan is willing to give in and assist Ajer, which should be the best choice.

This time, after a serious chat with Ivan, Marshal Philip's entire state became obviously more relaxed. When he walked out of the Elf King's Castle, Marshal Philip, who had always been unsmiling, even unconsciously had a trace of sadness on his face.

The smile of relief.
