During the period when he temporarily took over Ursok, the combination of Alves and the white bear was so strange, every day, people saw a little dwarf with a height of only one meter and two meters walking around the camp with a giant bear more than two meters tall, like a child leading a giant beast to walk around, sometimes the white bear would stand up, nearly five meters tall in front of Alves like a monster looking down on the small human.

But amazingly, the white bear was by Alves' side, but he never hurt him. On the contrary, when someone was attacking Alves, the white bear still stood up and let out a terrifying roar to deter those who spoke irreverently. Despite this, though, the people of Hoop are unhappy with the White Bear, and many people are privately discussing how to get rid of the bear, but Ursok has a superior intelligence and is very vigilant and sensitive to everything.

They had tried poisoning the food and drugged the sink, but the nimble Usok sensed it before touching the food and let out a whirring roar, and Alves was keenly aware of the problem and called for a thorough investigation into the poisoning of the food. Gradually, he understood what Rod meant, the Lord of Blackhammer Fort was protecting him, just like Rod said before leaving-

"Darkness is coming, and there are enemies all around. You have to be careful. ”

The white bear is actually protecting him with his actions, and there are countless enemies hidden around them......

According to the Queen's orders, Alves must call Dean out of the Ring as soon as possible, not to attend his father's pitiful funeral, but to take over his father's army, which is still at war, and the Ring is obliged to support the Snow Queen's actions. In the eyes of the Ice Queen, the Erengrad rebellion is a big deal, and what is the death of a small border lord...... There are dozens of castles like Ring Castle in the country, so the queen doesn't have the heart to manage them one by one. All she wanted was the army, and their allegiance.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the young lord has received the letter and is rushing from the Iron Ring City. ”

Aubrey's former military secretary walked into Alves' tent and reported the situation. The Minister of War and Alves were considered colleagues of each other, one of them was in charge of the training and recruitment of troops in the Ring, and the other was in charge of the finances and day-to-day affairs of the Ring, and the two were almost identical in status, but Aubrey temporarily handed over the reins to his brother Alves, and before Dean arrived at the front, the little dwarf exercised power in his place. Coupled with the white bear Usok guarding by his side, no one dared to be disrespectful to him.

"Okay, I got it. ”

Alves drank warm wine, waved his hand, and responded blandly.

"Anything else? my old friend?"

Seeing that the former Minister of War was standing in place, unwilling to leave for a long time, Alves asked curiously.

"Alves, we've been partners for many years, and there's one thing I really want to discuss with you. ”

"Okay, tell me, what's the matter? ”

Alves put down the book and wine in his hand and returned politely.

"It's about Young Master Dean. Marcoun, the military officer, took two small steps and whispered, looking back and forth to make sure there was no one else in the tent, and then he stepped in.

"Dean, what's wrong? Didn't you say he's on his way south?"

Alves asked, turning his head.

"Yes, that's no doubt on the way south, I mean, when the young master arrives, do you really want him to take command of the army of the Ring Castle?"

Military Officer Mark Thun lowered his voice and asked in a low voice. Yunxuan Pavilion

"This is his right and duty, and it is also the last wish of Lord Aubrey. He is my brother's son, my nephew, and deserves to be the commander of the Ring. ”

Alves replied righteously, although Dean had repeatedly embarrassed himself before, and even wanted to kick himself out of the Ring Castle, but in the final analysis, he was his own nephew after all, and if he didn't rush anything else, he would rush Aubrey's kindness and brotherhood to him, and he must also assist Dean to become the real Lord of the Ring.

But the words of the old man in front of him made him feel incredible, it should be said that Alves had already thought of something. He looked at Maktoun, his thick eyebrows furrowed together in his small eyes.

"Yes, that's right, having said that, but I think you and I know very well what kind of person His Highness Dean is. He's not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

There was something in Maktoun's words, and although Alves heard it, he still pretended not to understand, and demanded that he make it clear.

"What do you mean?"

Alves asked.

"Then I'll be straight to the point. ”

Alves made a gesture of please.

"Over the years, we have all watched Dean grow up, this boy is not at all like his father, and when Lord Aubrey was here, although he was very happy, he had clear rewards and punishments, and he also knew moderation, and knew how to make good use of people, so although the Ring Castle was often in the atmosphere of dinner and festivities, many things were also carried out smoothly. However, I think you and I can see what Dean is like, once he controls the entire Ring City, it is estimated that the Ring City will soon be defeated by him. His private parties were held almost every night, and the castle was even filled with prostitutes and vagrant knights...... You know, once he becomes the lord of the Ring Castle, it is estimated that even beggars will be able to sneak into the castle with a little bit of possibility...... Also, the young master, he doesn't know how to lead the army at all. ”

Maktoun narrowed his eyes and said. Alves conjured up some terrible facts, and although the old companion's words were right, they ......

"However, he is still our young master. ”

Alves emphasized. He knew that he would never become the lord of the Ring, and even if he wanted to, the people of the Ring would not agree, and no one would accept a dwarf as their lord. Misshapen-looking, he was fortunate not to be thrown into the Black Forest as a beastman. Even if the people of Hoop reluctantly accepted it, the Ice Queen would not agree, and it was impossible for her to allow such an incident to occur in her own territory. So, Alves didn't think about replacing Dean at all.

"That's ...... I mean, should the commander of the army have another experienced man come before you help him become a true lord?"

Maktoun gets straight to the point. At first, Alves thought he wanted to take the position, after all, Makthun had been assisting Aubrey in managing the Ring's army for many years. But when Maktoun said the name of another person, Alves realized that he had his own plan, and even his own person in it.

"Cooper. ”

Maktoun said. Alves then remembered the heavily armed knight on the night of Aubrey's death a few days earlier. Yes, he always led the team in battle every time the Hoop sent troops. The Iron Eagle emblem on his chest is a symbol of Aubrey's personal guard, and he is also deeply appreciated and trusted by his brother Aubrey. During the reign of Aubrey, this valiant knight dutifully performed his duties and shed blood and sweat for Fort Hoop. However, with Aubrey dead, Dean unable to take control of the Ring, and hearts change, Alves wondered if the valiant Cooper Knight had rebelled......

It's just that, judging from Makthun's various statements, there is indeed such a possibility. Alves felt that the situation in front of him was truly dangerous, and that a small ring fortress was still like this, and he really didn't know what secrets were hidden behind the mighty Erlengrad Rebellion...... Alves rubbed his temples and replied tiredly—

"This matter is put aside for now, and then we will discuss it later. But it's impossible not to put Dean in command of the army, and no one has the power to prevent him from taking over the army of Hoop, including me......"
