"I hope Lord Jelann can hand that coward over to me, so that the Salus family and the royal family won't have hatred." Edren looked at the young man hiding behind Jelann and sighed in his heart. This guy is as handsome as his brother. No wonder he fascinated the daughter of the Duke of Griffin.
Thinking of this, the girl with black hair and red eyes unconsciously emerged in his mind again. Comparing it with Jelan's performance in school, he couldn't help but wonder, are all the members of the Griffin Duke's family the type who like to be infatuated with girls?
"Heh, someone actually wants to snatch people from the griffin's mouth. Is this an insult?" Jelann shrugged off such threats.
Of the four great dukes, the most independent was undoubtedly the Salus family. Their territory, originally located west of Cangcui, was mountainous and less exposed to the outside world. Furthermore, the entire kingdom was merged into the Cangcui Empire, and power never waned from the Salus family. Consequently, they sometimes cared little about the opinions of other nobles within the interior.
"It seems that we can't achieve our goal elegantly." Edren shook his head with some regret, then waved his scepter, and a group of soldiers rushed out and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Even if it offends the Salus family, he must kill Ansroy today. If the other party is not killed, he will rely on his status as the crown prince to threaten his future rule.
The warriors of both sides once again engaged in a fierce battle in the square, with the sound of metal clashing and all kinds of overflowing magic and air waves flying everywhere. Under the protection of a group of guards, Jelann rode his horse towards the red and black camp, ready to capture the leader Edren.
With a swing of the broad sword, he cut off several attacking spears and gun tips. Jelann took the lead and jumped into the enemy camp, and the sharp air wave rushed directly to Edren who was not far away.
Feeling his hair being blown away by the oncoming gust of wind, Edren had no choice but to raise his scepter and be ready for battle.
I never imagined that the dull-witted Jelann I saw in school would grow so quickly after graduation. Or was he just a natural born warrior? He was as brave as a lion. Edren sighed inwardly, and gradually put away his previous contempt.
After Jelann charged into the enemy camp, several retainers and noble attendants beside him hurriedly followed. They had all practiced war sequences, and such coordinated fighting had long been engraved into their daily lives, so they were extremely skilled in cooperating with each other.
Just as the soldiers of the Duke of Griffin's family in the square were gradually suppressing the red and black knights from the border, the gate of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and two teams of knights on war horses rushed out, and attacked Edren's troops from the front and back, immediately surrounding the Duke of Griffin's team.
After Aimank's reinforcements arrived, the wind of victory immediately changed. The Lion Mane Warriors were surrounded and began to shrink and retreat.
"Stop." Suddenly a low and hoarse voice sounded, and then an old man with gray hair appeared from a corner of the street with nearly 300 knights.
At his simple wave of the hand, a knight stepped forward, threw a head to the ground, and rolled it into the square.
"That's...Lord Kongsk." Some knights in red and black armor exclaimed.
The owner of this head was none other than the general of the southern border, Kangsk, who was also the representative of many southern legions. His strength was at War Sequence 8, but he was unexpectedly killed by this old man.
"You're here, father." Looking at the old man, Jelann felt happy, but also a little embarrassed, feeling that he had disgraced himself.
"You need more training, Jelan." The old Griffin Duke was neither happy nor disappointed with his son's performance, as if it was all within his expectations.
When the Griffin Duke entered the scene with his men, the fighting between the two sides stopped temporarily due to his captivating aura. Edren's side slowly withdrew and reunited with his twin brother Amank.
"Tell me, what are your plans, brothers?" The old Griffin Duke looked at the two young princes with eagle-like eyes.
"We are princes of the imperial royal family. This is a private matter within the royal family. It is not your turn to care about it." Aimank said.
"Well, then, I'll use the marriage status established by the previous emperor to ask how you plan to handle the subsequent marriage."
After hearing this answer, Aimank suddenly figured something out. He simply waved his hand and asked the big knight in front of him to move aside to protect him.
"According to the will of the previous emperor, the marriage is cancelled." Anyway, the current emperor is dead, and the golden seal, imperial edict, and close ministers are all in his hands. He can say whatever he wants.
"Oh, doesn't that mean that our Salus family has been fooled by the royal family?" The old Griffin Duke's tone was flat and unchanged.
"The royal family will apologize for this and will also guarantee the daughter of the Salus family and help her find another good marriage." said Aimank.
Hearing these words, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"No, father, I don't want any other marriage. I want His Highness Ansroy." A blonde girl jumped out and said willfully.
The old Griffin Duke didn't even turn his head and said directly: "Jerlane, tell your sister to shut up."
"Ah... yes, father." At this time, Jelann also knew his father's choice. After a while, the girl's voice became weaker, as if her mouth was blocked by something.
"I'm fine with the apology, but forget about the matchmaking. I'll find a suitable marriage for my daughter later."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Salus." A slight smile appeared on the corner of Aimank's mouth.
Such an agreement and response is equivalent to the Griffin Duke's family giving up Ansroy and recognizing the legal status of Aimank and Edren.
