Working Prophet

After the news of Ilea becoming king spread, the three emperors Allister, Claudio and Conley all kept silent.

The main reason is that the news came too suddenly. Ilea had always shown no desire for the throne. Otherwise, after defeating Solomon, she could have directly sent troops to occupy the Golden Valley, and even the Elk Valley could have been annexed. Go down.

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

But Ilea chose to use the money to withdraw her troops. In the past year, she has just stayed in the Western Region, engaged in construction and planting radish, which is very confusing.

As a result, a year later, she suddenly became the chosen king and joined the game of power.

Just when the three previous players were still evaluating the impact of the addition of new opponents, they received the news that Golden Valley had been conquered. Now the three of them were a little unable to sit still.

After defeating the invincible Wing Tribe people, everyone knew that Ilea and her Western Army were very capable.

But being able to fight to this level still exceeded many people's expectations. From setting foot in the Golden Valley to leveling the Golden Valley, it only took Ilea just one month. During this period, she certainly had the help of the Campbell family.

But the Lilania couple had spent a year to recover less than one-third of the land. In addition, they had a strong competitor-the gangsters also from the Campbell family.

If Ilea hadn't suddenly intervened, the civil war in the Campbell family would have lasted for several years.

Of course, the one who is most panicked now is the Penlos family in Elk Valley.

A year ago, Tristan led an army of 70,000 people to attack the green fields. As a result, he was defeated by Ilea with only 20,000 people. Even he was captured and ate in the Rock Snow City for a while. Prison food.

The Penros family finally exchanged him for an unprecedentedly large ransom.

Even with the wealth of the twelve major families in the empire, they were almost wiped out by this ransom. In addition, they also lost many soldiers in the Western Region, especially the elite guards of the family (the Penlos family who are still alive are also There is really no money to redeem), these cannot be made up for in the short term.

And Tristan also behaved very low-key after returning home. Except for attending Conley's coronation ceremony, he almost didn't go out this year and didn't receive many guests.

It seems that he is determined to stay away from the dispute and lick his wounds alone in the corner.

But Tristan didn't expect that only a year had passed before his nightmare would reappear again.

After receiving the news that Blackhand was defeated by Ilea, Tristan didn't sleep well for several days.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the battle a year ago came to mind.

Those terrifying iron pipes that can spit smoke and flames, and the iron balls that shoot out will smash everything in front of them; those steel monsters that roar ferociously and keep moving forward; and Ilea's on-the-spot command that can be called art, every time As soon as he issues an order, almost at the same moment, the other side will make corresponding adjustments...

People who have not experienced this firsthand will not understand how desperate it is.

After Tristan lost the seemingly sure battle, he also lost all honor and respect from others. He knew what those nobles were calling him behind his back.

- Duke of Ransom or Duke of Miracles.

The former is easy to understand, it is nothing more than laughing at the fact that the Penlos family spent 400,000 gold lions to redeem him, while the latter is saying that it was a miracle that he lost that battle.

But Tristan himself knew very well that it was not a miracle. If any famous commander on the Bratis continent were to serve as the commander of that army, the result would not change.

In fact, in prison, Tristan had already replayed the battle that discredited him hundreds of times.

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

This was what frightened him the most.

Tristan was sitting alone in the study, with a gloomy look on his face, when a burst of laughter came from the window.

Two girls were playing in the courtyard downstairs. They chased each other and ran away, talking and laughing. As a result, the girl in a light yellow dress ran too fast and accidentally bumped into someone.

The girl raised her head and found that it was Tristan. Her expression changed slightly. She quickly put away her smile and lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, "Father."

Another girl holding a book behind her also chased after him. When she saw Tristan, she quickly stopped and saluted, "Your Majesty, Duke."

"Ashley, how is your grandfather doing?" Tristan asked.

"Oh, his old habit has returned. His knees hurt when it rains. But a businessman helped him get some magic medicine for double holidays. He felt much better after taking it."

The girl named Ashley's voice became softer as she spoke, because everyone in the castle knew that Tristan was not in a good mood these days, and he particularly didn't want to hear a certain name or anything related to that name.

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

"Gnaril, what makes you so happy?"

"It's nothing, father." Genalil shrank his head.

"Don't be afraid. Tell the truth and I won't blame you."

Genalil thought for a while, "I heard...people outside are talking about you again."

"Oh, really, did they give me a new nickname?" Tristan said lightly.

"No, they all said... they wrongly blamed you before." Seeing that his father was not angry, Genalil said boldly.

"Um?"

"They said that the battle in the Western Region a year ago was not your fault. It was Saturday that was too powerful. It chose Ilea to become the queen of the continent. Its oracle cannot be disobeyed by mortals.

Gnaril became more and more excited as he talked, because since Tristan's defeat a year ago, there have been more and more rumors about him, many of which are very unpleasant.

Of course, as Tristan's daughter, Gnaril is also very unconvinced. Now the famous generals Drake and Blackhand in the Golden Valley have been defeated by Ilea, and the defeat was even more decisive than Tristan's. It can be said that it is completely one-sided. .

Unexpectedly, it actually made Tristan's reputation slightly better. In the words of another dimension, Tristan was whitewashed while lying down.

Gnaril was also happy for his father, but Tristan was focused on another thing, and he frowned.

"You said people outside are talking about Saturday's Oracle."

"Yes, Father."

"how many people?"

"Well, I don't know the specific number of people, but it should be quite a lot. In the past period of time, many refugees from the Golden Valley have fled to our land, and among them there are also believers of Shuangxujiao."
