The towering walls blocked the attack of the demons, and on the other side of the Clay River, the armies of the demons gathered more and more. Joseph, who looked out of the window of the Starlight Castle www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", exclaimed:

"What now, do we want to retreat back to the Normanland Kingdom like we did 20 years ago, save our strength, and slowly advance?"

"No! Not yet. Lance walked in at this time and said: "We have now reassembled 10,000 people in our hands, although there are more demons, but we have the Clay River Danger, if they want to attack Idiris, they must first pass our battleship." ”

Behind Lance was a sad Eve. Ever since the Duke of Aceh fled back to Idris, he had locked himself in his room, without saying a word, and his face had gradually become emaciated and haggard.

Eve was with her father almost all the time, but the Duke of Aceh was only in a daze except for sighing.

Although Joseph was eager to ask about the Duke of Aceh, he knew what it was like now through Eve's face.

Eve sat down in the passenger seat she usually did. At this time, Joseph looked at the empty duke's seat, and suddenly said on a whim: "Count Reims, can we discuss another matter first?"

Lance looked at Joseph's eyes and almost guessed: "It's not impossible for you to say something, but she ......"

Lance glanced at Eve, and he guessed that Father Joseph wanted to proclaim Eve as the Grand Duke of Idris, after all, the Duke of Aceh was no longer capable of leadership. Until it is reinvigorated, this is undoubtedly the best option in wartime. Lance knew that the country of Idireis needed a leader to motivate and motivate his people, and that person would not be Joseph, nor would it be Chief Morgan, nor would it be himself.

Only Evie Rostor, a descendant of the god of war Veneto and the first heiress ever of the House of Rostol, could do so.

But Lance wasn't sure that Eve would accept it, so Lance hesitated.

Joseph resolutely said at this time: "Your Highness Eve?"

Eve paused for a moment, then replied, "What's wrong? I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." Where are you talking about? yes, how do we defend against it? ”

Joseph said, "No, no, Princess Eve, we have something we would like to discuss with you. ”

Eve curiously glanced at the people around her, and saw that they were all looking at her, "What's wrong with you guys?"

"Your Highness Eve, the enemy is now at hand, and my old buddy Aceh has temporarily lost the ability to govern, and although we all hope that Aceh can be reinvigorated, the enemy is running out of time. So I have an idea, I would like to ask you to inherit the title of your father, the Grand Duke of Idiris, and lead the Duchy of Idiris, against the attack of the demons. ”

As soon as Joseph's words came out, everyone present was shocked except for Lance. In particular, the civilian clique headed by President Morgan. Chief Morgan immediately said noncommittally: "How can this be, the Duke of Aceh is still alive, and you are undoubtedly usurping the throne by doing so." ”

However, the military generals group confronted it, and at this time, old Tulius stood up and retorted: "How is it a usurpation, not long ago, the Duke of Aceh personally declared Princess Eve as his first heir. Now that the Duke can't come out and lead us to fight the demons, why not let His Highness Eve inherit the Duke?"

Ethan, the construction official who had embarrassed Lance at the internal affairs meeting before, is now a tribune, and he also stood up and refuted: "Old Tulius, you can't say that, since ancient times, the succession to the title has been inherited after death, and now the Duke is living well, what kind of inheritance?"

But General Macarho, who came from the military camp in Erbona City on the side, smiled happily and said: "Don't be angry, in fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with His Royal Highness Eve inheriting the title, let's not find a regent, but in all fairness, can you have the ability to be a regent?"

August, the former inspector of White Harbor and now the construction officer, said: "Governor Morgan is okay, he is a veteran of the two dynasties." ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Morgan proudly touched his stomach and said with a smile, "Where, where." ”

"Bald Knight," said old Tullius, noncommittally, "of course he can't do anything, and dare to ask Lord Regent, do you know how many cavalry we have, how many infantry, how many foot knights, and how many hoplites." What is the ratio of archers at each gate?"

"This ...... ......As soon as General Morgan heard about these military issues, he immediately became intimidated, and his own chief of internal affairs was indeed useless to the military.

At this time, the young Ed, who was sitting in the corner, was now appointed as the commander of the Normanland Foreign Legion, and said, "Then we can appoint Lance as the regent, he knows all this!"

Lance smiled helplessly at this time, he didn't have that much prestige to serve as regent, and at most he could only participate in politics.

Lance said: "Actually, I don't think Eve has a problem inheriting the duke, now after all, it's wartime, how can we not have a leader? Eve, I know what you are thinking, but you have to think about it, now that Idiris, I am like a plate of sand, and if you do not take up this responsibility, your people will gradually lose faith in this country, and even if we have a million soldiers, we will not be able to stop this country's decline. ”

Eve said with a sad face: "But my father is only in a slump for a while, and I will definitely not be able to do this." Or you can treat me as a regent. ”

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "We have no shortage of candidates for regents in Idiris, we can be pigs, but there is only one leader, my good sister." ”

Everyone looked towards the door, and saw a young man with a flask of wine and enter, none other than Ferdinand Rostor, the eldest son of the Duke of Aceh, who had been drinking and painting with artists and discussing art in his estate.

Many of the newcomers present were meeting Ferdinand for the first time, and Lance only saw Ferdinand yesterday when he met the Duke of Aceh.

Eve stood up and said, "Brother?"

Ferdinand waved his hand, and said with a little drunkenness: "Good sister, what are you hesitating about? Regarding my father's three children, according to my father's words, I am a drunkard who does not learn and has no skills, and Isabella is no longer there, only you have been trained by your father to be a qualified leader since you were a child, and now you are so hesitant in the autumn of the country's survival." Our father has already been defeated by setbacks, sister, you have to be defeated again, brother, how can I study art with peace of mind?"

When Lance heard Ferdinand's words, he was immediately impressed. It turned out that I only heard that he was a prodigal son who did not care about politics and only loved good wine, food and beautiful women. I didn't expect to see it today, only to know that this person is just a rare confusion, in fact, his heart knows better than anyone else. If it were placed in another country, Lance would not dare to imagine how humiliating and humiliating it would be for his eldest son to be deprived of his title by his sister. A bloody coup d'état is possible.

It seems that the three sons and daughters of the Duke of Aceh cannot be underestimated.

Eve bit her thin lip directly, and her face was full of hesitation: "But brother, you are your father's eldest son, and the inheritance should also be inherited by you." ”

When Ferdinand heard this, he laughed and said, "Sister, I didn't notice that your joke telling skills are getting better and better. ”

Saying that, Ferdinand walked to Eve's side and said: "My good sister, my brother has a few pounds and a few taels, and I know that we Idires are not like those kingdoms in the west, engaged in internal strife and internal friction all day long. My brother only loves food, wine, beautiful women, and art. You know that. You just feel sorry for my brother, don't let me be a duke. If you really feel guilty, I'll find a few good cooks, and I'll be satisfied. ”

Eve suddenly looked at Ferdinand with tears in her eyes: "Brother, ......"

Ferdinand hurriedly wiped Eve's tears and said, "Yo yo, why are you crying?" Well, don't cry, my brother still likes the way you laugh. ”

Saying that, Eve hugged Ferdinand: "Brother!"

Ferdinand held the flask in one hand and his sister Eve in the other and said, "Okay, how old are you, and you still have to pester my brother like this? ”

Ferdinand looked at the surprised ministers and generals, and said embarrassedly, "I confess that I care about my two younger sisters in this family. But why are you still stunned? Do you have the eyesight to see it, hurry up and worship the new Archduchess of Idiris!"

At this time, Lance and the others immediately reacted, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "See Grand Duke Eve, the descendant of the great Numans - the guardian of the Idiris, the descendant of the god of war Veneto, the ruler of the stars and the East, the guardian of the white stone gate, and the lord of our Idiris!"
