171 The Leader's Dilemma

This time, Adams came to Storm Castle, in fact, the main purpose was not to pass on any message, because with his status as the royal knight captain, even if it was because of the interruption of the Warpost Courier, it would not be his turn to be a part-time Courier.

The reason why he was willing to come over, and even took the initiative to take on this task to Her Royal Highness the Princess, was because now Princess Jina was in a predicament in Marseille City, and if one was not handled well, not only would he lose the hope of inheriting the throne, but it was also very likely that he would completely cut off the military development.

The loss of the inheritance of the throne is not very important, because Princess Jina herself is the third in line, unless there is a particularly big change, or Princess Jina also learns the royal indifference and kills her two brothers, otherwise she will basically lose the throne.

I didn't expect much from something I didn't expect, so naturally I didn't expect too much. The real focus this time was because Her Royal Highness the Princess led the army for the first time, and the result almost led to the rout of the entire army. If it weren't for Duke leading the Storm Army to help Gina break the siege by chance, maybe she, the princess, would have been captured by the Milan Empire.

Princess Jina's leadership failed in battle, so that she suffered a very big controversy in the imperial capital, originally the French Emperor Henry VII, still liked this little daughter very much, and was willing to give her military power, let her become the commander of the army to fight, but the result was so dismal that she naturally could not explain to the ministers.

And after Princess Jina retreated to Marseille City, with the withdrawal of the Silver Moon Army to Silver Moon City, just relying on dozens of members of the Royal Knights, it was impossible to suppress the eleventh army of the empire that had become a rout, and even the border knights who escaped during the war also began to show off their might after assembling in Marseille City, and disobeyed Jina's orders.

The lord of Marseille City was more respectful to Her Royal Highness the princess at the beginning, but after a long time, when he saw the virtue of the original rout, and the princess seemed so weak, he naturally looked down on it, and even the city lord's guard and even the royal cavalry began to be wary.

If it weren't for the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the French Empire, it is estimated that even the supply would have been cut off, and Princess Jina would really be isolated and helpless at that time.

However, Princess Ji Na has been silently enduring it, and has been collecting the original rout during this time, trying to ensure the number of the Imperial Eleventh Legion and the Frontier Knights.

Many times when Adams saw the princess like this, he felt unbearable in his heart. The result of all this is not that Her Royal Highness the princess does not work hard, nor is it the incompetence of Her Royal Highness the princess. Because as a top student of the Martial Arts Academy, Ji Na is no stranger to marching and fighting, and she fights bravely, even if she is surrounded by a heavy siege, she does not have any retreat or fear.

But after all, Princess Jina was too young and didn't have enough time for her to cultivate her own power, so Emperor Fran hurriedly let Her Royal Highness the princess lead the army to face a strong enemy, and did not give a strong enough pro-guard army to suppress the troops, this kind of airborne commander was naturally set aside.

It's good to win, after all, there is the princess of the French Empire behind it, and this time I lost, and the Middle Ages was not as absolute as the imperial power in ancient China, and if you disobey the princess, you will kill your head or something. In this era, every lord is a snake on the ground, Ji Na has the strength to be a princess, and if she doesn't have the strength, she is a little girl, who is the bird of you?

Recently, the troops of Marseille City have become more and more uncontrollable, although the large-scale war is over, but the border conflicts with the Milan Empire still occur from time to time, and more importantly, the beasts and barbarians in the north are still eyeing each other, wanting to take advantage of the weakness of the French Empire after the war, the number of troops is still tight, and the French Emperor cannot send troops to support Princess Jina.

Once she really can't control the troops completely, Princess Jina will go back like this, maybe this stain will not be washed away, and she will not have the opportunity to take charge of the army alone.

Although as a woman, as long as she is not too dead, even the struggle for imperial power should not be in much danger to her life. But the world's strength is not only for power, but also for self-preservation. In particular, the French Empire vaguely showed a kind of chaos, and if there was no army in hand, it could only be slaughtered by others.

After listening to Adams's story, Duke also fell into deep thought, if it was before the Battle of Storm Castle, Duke would definitely agree without hesitation. Because Stormcastle was in a state of explosion at that time, Duke was about to swell with no one in his sights.

As a result, Duke had to be stunned for so long, but found that he was still only a small role in front of the Holy See, and the Storm Army was currently suffering heavy casualties, and the price of wanting to support Princess Gina was too great, and Duke didn't want the weakened Storm Castle to take such a big risk.

Seeing the hesitant look on Duke's face, Adams didn't know why, because the Battle of Storm Castle, both the Holy See and the Storm Castle side, tacitly chose to block the news, and the outside world actually didn't know the specific situation of this battle, and even except for the residents of Alpine City and Storm Castle, they didn't even know that there had been such a battle.

This era is not as advanced as the later generations, so Adams, who is in Marseille, has no idea about the current predicament of Storm Castle. In his eyes, the storm army had to carry the Spartan army at the beginning, and it also helped Princess Jina to collect a wave of routs, and it was not a difficult thing to send a little force to help Princess Jina.

Adams waited for a while, and seeing that Duke still didn't answer, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Lord Duke, if you don't want to, just because I haven't said anything about it, and Princess Gina doesn't know that I asked you for help, I hope you don't tell her and leave." ”

Asking Duke for help, in Adams' heart, he had already let go of his pride as a royal knight, if it weren't for his status as a guardian knight, if it weren't for the fact that he had watched Her Royal Highness grow up with the princess since he was a child, Adams would not be willing to lower his noble head in any person.

And in his eyes, Her Royal Highness the Princess is not thin on Storm Castle, and when Storm Castle was most dangerous, Her Royal Highness Princess chose to come to Storm Castle to defend the border. He also recommended Duke to his mentor at the Martial Arts Academy, so that he could get the opportunity to enter without entrance exams and build a network for his future development.

But when Princess Gina needed help, and it wasn't sleepy, Duke was so hesitant. This gave Adams the idea that Princess Gina believed the wrong person and saw the wrong person herself.

As a knight, he can let go of his pride, but he won't be humbled!

Seeing Adams so angry, Duke also woke up from his thoughts, and he said a little helplessly: "I didn't say I wouldn't help, as for you, are you so excited?"
