When the news of Ilea's proclamation spread, the three emperors, Allister, Claudio, and Conley, all remained silent.

The main reason is that this news came too suddenly, and Ilea has always shown no desire for the throne before, otherwise after defeating Solomon, she could have directly sent troops to occupy the Golden Valley at that time, and even the Elk Valley could be swallowed together.

After all, Tristan had also suffered a defeat at her hands, and the Ponros family was in an unprecedented emptiness at that time.

But Ilea chose Mingjin to withdraw her troops, and in the past year, she has only stayed in the West Territory honestly, engaged in building and planting radishes, which is very confusing.

As a result, a year later, she suddenly became the Chosen One and joined the Game of Thrones.

Just as the previous three players were still assessing the impact of the addition of a new opponent, they received the news of the conquest of the Golden Valley again, and all three of them were a little unable to sit still.

After defeating the invincible Wingclans, everyone knew that Ilea and her army of the West were capable of fighting.

But it was still beyond many people's expectations to be able to fight to this extent, and it only took Ilea a short month to set foot in the Golden Valley to set foot in the Golden Valley, and of course there was the help of the Campbell family during this period.

It had taken a year for the Lylania couple to reclaim less than a third of their land, and they had a formidable contender, also from the Campbells.

If it weren't for Ilea's sudden intervention, the Campbell family's civil war would probably last a few years.

Of course, the most panicked ones now have to be the Ponlos family in Elk Valley.

Tristan led an army of 70,000 to attack the green field a year ago, but was defeated by Ilea with a mere 20,000 people, and even he was captured and ate in prison in Rock Snow City for a while.

The Ponlos family eventually paid him an unprecedentedly large ransom to get him back.

Even with the background of the twelve major families of the empire, they were almost emptied by this ransom, plus they also lost a lot of soldiers in the west, especially the elite guards of the family (the Polos family, who is still alive, really has no money to ransom), these are irreparable in the short term.

And Tristan also behaved very low-key after returning home, except for attending Conley's coronation ceremony, he hardly went out for a year, and did not meet many guests.

It seems to have made up his mind to stay away from the strife and lick his wounds alone in the corner.

But Tristan didn't expect that only a year had passed, and his nightmare would be repeated.

After receiving the news that the Black Hand had been defeated by Irea, Tristan did not sleep well for several days.

As soon as I close my eyes, I think of the battle a year ago.

Those terrifying iron pipes that can breathe smoke and flames, and shoot iron balls that smash everything in front of them; The steel monsters that roared and roared forward; And then there's Ilea's artistic on-the-spot command, and every time he gives an order, almost at the same moment, the opposite side adjusts accordingly......

Those who haven't experienced this firsthand won't understand how desperate it can be.

Tristan lost all his honor and respect for him after losing the seemingly safe battle, and he knew what the nobles were calling him behind his back.

- The Duke of Ransom or the Duke of Miracle.

The former is easy to understand, it is nothing more than to laugh at the fact that the Panlos family spent 400,000 golden lions to redeem him, and as for the latter, it is saying that it is a miracle that he lost that battle.

But Tristan himself knew very well that it was not a miracle, and if he changed any of the famous commanders on the continent of Bratis to be the commander of that army, the result would not change anything.

In fact, in prison, Tristan has already relived hundreds of battles that discredited him.

However, no matter how many times he repeated, Tristan could not find even the slightest possibility of turning defeat into victory.

That's what scares him the most.

Tristan sat alone in his study, looking uncertain, when a string of laughter came from the window.

Two young girls were frolicking in the courtyard downstairs, they chased and fled, talking and laughing, but the girl in the pale yellow dress ran too fast and accidentally bumped into a person.

The girl raised her head and found that it was Tristan, her expression couldn't help but change slightly, and she quickly put away her smile, bowed her head as if she had done something wrong, and said, "Father." ”

And another girl holding a book in the back also chased after her at this time, and when she saw Tristan, she quickly stopped and saluted, "Lord Duke." ”

"Ashley, how is your grandfather's health?" Tristan asked.

"Oh, his old problem has been done again, and his knees hurt when it rains, but a merchant helped him get some magic medicine of the Shuangxiu Sect, and he feels much better after taking it."

The girl named Ashley became quieter and quieter the more she spoke, because everyone in the castle knew that Tristan was not in a good mood these days, and especially did not want to hear a certain name or anything related to that name.

Fortunately, the head of the Polos family did not get angry at her, but turned his head to look at his daughter again.

"Gnalir, what makes you so happy?"

"Nothing, father." Gnalir shrank his head.

"Don't be afraid, I won't blame you to tell you the truth."

Gnalir thought for a moment, "I heard...... People out there are talking about you again. ”

"Oh yes, did they give me any new nickname?" Tristan said lightly.

"No, they all say...... I blamed you wrong. Seeing that his father was not angry, Gnaliel said boldly.

"Huh?"

"They say that the battle in the West a year ago was not your fault, that Saturday was too powerful, that it chose Ilea to be the queen of the continent, and that its oracles are not something mortals can disobey.

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, for since Tristan's defeat a year earlier, there had been a lot of gossip about him, many of which were hard to hear.

Of course, Gnalir is also very unconvinced as Tristan's daughter, and now the famous Drake and Black Hand of the Golden Valley have been defeated by Ilea, and the defeat is even more crisp than Tristan, which can be said to be completely one-sided.

Unexpectedly, it made Tristan's reputation slightly better, and in the words of another plane, Tristan was lying down and being whitewashed.

Gnalir was happy for his father, too, but Tristan was focused on something else, and he frowned.

"You said the people outside were talking about the oracle on Saturday."

"Yes, father."

"How many are there?"

"Well, I don't know the exact number of people, but it should be quite a lot, in the past time, many refugees from the Golden Valley have fled to our land, and among them are believers of the Shuangxiu Sect."
