Archduke Borg's injuries had been kept under wraps, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was dying, as could be seen from the reactions of his two heirs.

Lord Baron Patlem, led the army stationed in the Bastille, rushed back to Solo City in the starry night, and on the third day announced to the public that the Grand Duke Borg appointed him as the temporary supreme commander of the Manyu army, and had the power to command all the troops of the Manyu army, and all the lords and nobles in the territory should obey his command, and appointed General Christopher as the commander-in-chief, gathered the army, and surrounded the slave rebels.

Partlem was clearly talking to himself in doing so, and there were very few lords and nobles willing to obey him.

Compared with the old and spicy Grand Duke Borg, Patlem is too young after all, and he was not taken seriously at all before, so he was stationed in the Bastille in the past year, holding tens of thousands of troops, directly controlling the trade with the Eternal Night Legion, and pulling down a little network for himself, and they are all unreliable connections.

At the critical moment of standing in line, they pretended to be crazy and stupid, ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and waited until the first heir in honor of the Manyu military leader returned to the territory.

Fortunately, Anjibena's alliance with him is sincere, and without any discount, the four major legions of the Faeron family controlled by General Christopher are on his side.

When Patalum knew that General Christopher, the most loyal old dog of the Grand Duke of Borg, turned out to be Angie Bena's man, his expression at that moment was as wonderful as it could be.

Because not long ago, he had been plotting with his number one think-tank, Conrad, to sell Angel Bena in exchange for General Christopher's allegiance, and had already confided his words to him.

There is no doubt that the news has reached Angelbena, and it is not known how they are laughing at him behind his back.

During the alliance talks with Angela, Patelem felt like he had committed all the embarrassment.

Fortunately, shamelessness is the first divine skill that the lord and nobleman began to practice after they became sensible, Patlem is not a miracle, and it can be regarded as a small skill, and there is no such thing, but how to thunder to Condra afterwards is not known to outsiders, anyway, since then, the relationship between the two is far less intimate than before.

The strength of Patlem and Angie Bena after the union is quite considerable, the number of descendants alone is as much as more than 30,000, plus the miscellaneous auxiliary army and some private armies of the small nobles who tend to be inflammatory, there are all kinds of troops, and the strength is up to 780,000, and then a part of the farmers are recruited, and it is not a problem to make up an army of 100,000.

It's just that Patlem's style of acting is far less majestic than that of Archduke Borg, exuding a small family spirit from the inside out, half of the 100,000 troops are in the city of Solo and do not move, in the name of preventing the slave rebels from attacking.

The slave rebels rushed out from here, and those who could do the scourge were almost done, and those who could revolt with them had already joined them, and it would be unprofitable for them to fight back, unless they were strong enough to occupy this place permanently.

Although the slave rebel army is unprecedentedly strong, it is also relative, far from being able to do so, not to mention that Starbuck and Dicron are not fools and will not easily let their team become targets.

Although Solo City is not the least likely city to be attacked by the slave rebels, the probability of attacking him is low.

Throwing 50,000 troops here is a pure waste.

The remaining 50,000 troops did not take the initiative to fight against the slave rebel army, but scattered around Solo City to fight the autumn wind, specifically looking for the trouble of those guerrillas scattering bravely, naturally invincible, and the hundred and ten miles around Solo City were swept very clean by them.

The townspeople and the peasants did not have such long-term vision, but only knew that they were safe, and one by one they sang praises to Patlem, and the public opinion in a small area skyrocketed, which greatly satisfied Patlem's exuberant vanity.

If it weren't for the news of his eldest brother, Viscount Philip, the Grand Duke of Patlem wouldn't know when he would have done it.

The way in which the long-absent heir to the Manyu military leader came back was amazing.

Philip led the famous golden camel heavy cavalry led by the Manyu Army, and in less than two weeks, he galloped 1,500 kilometers, appearing in the posture of a divine soldier behind the slave rebels who were attacking a viscount castle.

In the words of the Viscount who was rescued and in danger, just when the defense of the castle was in jeopardy, would be breached at any time, and it would fall into a catastrophe from which it could never be recovered, Viscount Philip took his golden camel and rode heavily on his back, carrying the sunset of the western mountain, like a golden torrent, unstoppable.

The seemingly endless army of slave rebels, under their scimitars, fell in pieces like wheat under a farmer's sickle.

When the sun had completely set, the already arrogant slave rebel army was crushed and scurried around the field like ants on a hot pot.

Philip led his golden camel heavy cavalry, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, like driving pigs, driving them out of dozens of miles, killing the enemy without counting, and finally because of the physical strength of the mount, he stopped the pursuit, and the damaged golden camel heavy cavalry was only a few dozen horses.

The old viscount confessed that if he were a young girl, he would definitely fall in love with Viscount Philip at that moment.

Although Viscount Philip was defeated by only a branch of the slave rebellion of only 10,000 men, not the main force led by Starbuck and Dicklon.

But in the context of the overall decline and rout, this brilliant victory brought by Viscount Philip, with more victories and fewer victories, was like a shot in the arm, which made those lords and nobles excited.

Some people who originally disdained Viscount Philip's strong personality like his father also changed their opinions and statements.

"The Manyu Army is in the midst of a once-in-a-century crisis, and needs a responsible, capable, and young and strong lion-like leader, and Viscount Philip is undoubtedly such a person, only he can lead us to defeat these lowly slaves, restore stability to the Manyu Army, and lead us to new glory. ”

"Viscount Philip is the rightful and legitimate first in line to the throne of the Manyu Army, before he did not return, Baron Patlaim served as the interim supreme commander, and now that the real legitimate heir of the Manyu Army Commander has returned, Patleum should abdicate and make way for the virtuous, gather the living forces of the Manyu Army under the same banner, maintain the safety and rights of all lords and nobles, and annihilate the slave rebel army as the first priority. ”

"The title of Baron Patalem's provisional supreme commander is not justified, and they are to elect a noble lord of high moral character to meet the Archduke Borg in person to discuss the matter of the heir, and if Baron Patlaim continues to obstruct it, they will question Baron Patalem's intentions. ”

All of a sudden, Viscount Philip's reputation in the Manyu military territory was in full swing, especially in the mouths of those anxious lords and nobles, he was touted as the savior of the Manyu military territory, and only he and his golden camel heavy cavalry could save the entire military territory from fire and water.

"Look, look at what these old bastards have to say? A trivial little victory, they are about to boast to the sky, isn't he known as the Manbred lion? Isn't the golden camel heavy cavalry he led known as the first man of Manbour? Why don't you attack the main force led by Starbuck and Dicklon? If he can break the main force, I will not say a word, and immediately give up the throne of the Grand Duke, this sinister fellow, those bastards who advocate him, are all in tandem with him. ”

The new owner of Feron Castle, Baron Patalem, was furious, and his face, which was already white and feminine, was now even more blue and a little black.

The castle of Feren seems to have a magical power, and every one of its owners, after staying in it, becomes irritable and moody.

The only difference is that the effects are fast and slow.

It took twenty years to influence Grand Duke Borg, but it took less than two weeks to change Patlem, and the character shortcomings of Grand Duke Borg in the later period were transferred to him intact and intensified.

Patram has several more negative emotions than Archduke Borg - lack of confidence, paranoia, and mental breakdown.

This is directly related to the improper position he is in now, coupled with the not strong psychological quality, it is normal to have such emotions.

And all this invisibly contributed to the growth of negative emotions in his heart, and in just two weeks, five maids and waiters were dragged out with cold bodies, more than ten times more often than the Grand Duke of Borg.

Now in Faeron Castle, everyone seems to have a death scythe hanging above their heads, one by one like turtledoves in the autumn wind, curled up in a ball, eager to disappear from Patriem's sight forever, a little movement, one by one like frightened rabbits, run as far as they can.

Viscount Philip's strong return upset Baron Patalem even more.

Out of ten, there will be one genius, one stupid, eight ordinary people.

Viscount Philip was the genius of the ten, and the top of the class, and the entire young man of the Manyu Army lived in his shadow.

At the age of fourteen, he had become a knight.

At the age of sixteen, he became a team leader in the Golden Camel Heavy Rider.

At the age of eighteen, he led the golden camel heavy cavalry to quell the rebellion, stepped on the company camp, and defeated a regiment of rebels with a team of golden camel heavy cavalry.

At the age of twenty, he became a grand knight and became one of the commanders of the Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry, replacing the Grand Duke Borg in the northern and southern wars of the Manyu army, wherever there was turmoil, he was there, and was known for his iron-fisted style, earning him the reputation of the Manbau Young Lion.

At the age of twenty-three, he became the commander of the Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry Knights, leading 3,000 Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry to assist in the defense and garrison of the Broken Blood Castle.

Since then, every year, there will be large and small exploits reported back to the Manyu military leader, or when the Odin orcs go south to fight the autumn wind, they will fight to the death, or take the initiative to attack and exterminate the Odin orc tribe and behead hundreds of levels.

His viscount was not awarded by the Manyu army, but by the Lancelot royal family according to his military exploits, and the viscount fief was not in the Manyu army, but in the Uras basin in the plains of Asia Minor, which was not large, but covered an area of dozens of square kilometers.

However, over the years, the Lancelot royal family has become more and more strict about the land reward card, especially under the iron-fisted rule of the regent Princess Sophilina, who has the right to collect the land through various means, and the reward is even rarer.

is also centralized, and the regent Princess Sophilina is much more gentle and clever than Archduke Borg, she does not directly seize land from the lords and nobles, but through the exchange of interests such as minerals and special management rights, in exchange for land.

Those lords and nobles not only do not suffer, but even make cheap profits.

But from the point of view of a country, the immediate interests are far less advantageous than grasping the land in its own hands.

Not to mention that Baron Philip is also the first in line to the throne of the other archdukes, and it is even more difficult to get such a reward, which proves in disguise how much credit he has made in the Broken Blood Castle.

In other words, Philip is a royal viscount and a baron of the Manyu military domain, and has a relatively rare double title.

During the five years that Philip was stationed at the Broken Blood Fortress, Philip rarely returned to the Manyu Army, but as the honor passed back, his reputation grew, and the title of the first heir in line was never shaken.

Although the Grand Duke of Borg did not express it openly, he was still quite satisfied with this eldest son who had earned enough face for himself.

In comparison, Patrium was one of the eight ordinary people out of ten, who had neither excellent cultivation talent, nor the strategic vision to control the overall situation, nor rich experience.

Being able to take power is also a matter of the last year, and it is not purely by his own ability, but by pulling out the general, the Grand Duke of Borg needs a person who can be trusted to be stationed in the Bastille, ability is not important, the most important thing is the surname, and if it is replaced by a pig with the surname of Faerun, he can also sit in that position.

In other words, if it weren't for the name of the Faeron family, he would have lost to everyone.

From childhood to adulthood, not only Patlem, but also several other heirs in the Pheren family have lived in the shadow of Philip, and some have completely given up, such as the third in line Celt and the fourth in line Bartley.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, when they were a little sensible, they knew that they had no hope of winning over Philip, so they indulged themselves and mingled with a group of gentlemen, and set up eagles and lackeys.

At the age of sixteen, the third in line to the throne, Celt, was stabbed to death by a sword in a duel with a lord's son in order to win the favor of a beautiful woman.

Bartley, the fourth heir in line, wanted to play the hunting game on a whim and threw his life in the mountains.

Now competing with Philip, there is only one Patrium left.

In the eyes of outsiders, the former Patlaim was also a person who was spinning in the wind and snow and had no heavy desire for power, until he had an ambitious young man by his side, Conrad, who was bewitched by him, and only then did he arouse Patalem's desire for power and profit.

Is this really the case?

Maybe it used to be, but after taking control of certain rights and tasting the taste of standing at the pinnacle of power, is Patlem's state of mind still the same as it was at the beginning?

I am afraid that it is not inevitable, because people are the most fickle creatures in the world, and power, money and beauty are often the biggest incentives.

How can a person like Patlem, who is not mentally strong in itself, resist it?

It is precisely because we care that we will suffer from gains and losses.

"When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. The small Anji Bena, with a mature sophistication that does not match her slightly immature face, "The idea has been made for a long time, who can you blame if you don't act for a long time?"
