The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 928 Royal Hawk Dog

"Get the hell out of here! I'll live longer than you!" Marquis Al-Tigeran Franz's eyes flashed with displeasure. He died a long time ago! Do you think of me now?

"Sorry, it was too chaotic, everyone was trying to break through, I didn't find any nobles in the chaos..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's eyes flashed with sadness. Those imperial nobles who had been drinking and chatting with him were scattered in the steel torrent of the orcs. The lives of countless nobles were unknown. Because the war in the north was not going well, the empire had been withdrawing troops from the safer east. As a result, the northern Great Wall of the east was directly broken by the sudden orc army! The most deadly thing is that the enemy comes from behind!

"..." Marquis Al Tigrand Franz closed his eyes and tilted his head back, trying hard not to let his tears fall. The family members he led and the royal guards bestowed by the emperor all died in the process of covering his breakout, and finally sent him into the crowd of people fleeing north.

"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Marquis Al-Tigrand Franz twirled his golden beard, his shrewd eyes revealing a scrutinizing look.

"Go home!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo shook his head and said nothing more.

"Go home? Do we still have a home?" Al Tegran Franz sneered. They didn't see any traces of the Kingdom of Avalon when they came out of the eastern mountains. This undoubtedly showed that the empire was really over! As a vassal state of the Ragran Empire, the elves of Avalon were destroyed, not to mention the empire on the main battlefield. Moreover, along the way, the northern land that was supposed to be the empire's horse pasture was now full of orcs' caves!

"Just go back and take a look. Everyone should have a wish, to go back to Lagran City to take a look... take a look..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's voice lowered. No one can face the grief of a broken country.

"If the empire is really gone...what are you going to do?" Marquis Al Tigrand Franz glanced at Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo and looked like he was about to start scolding him if they disagreed.

"What are you looking at? I'm telling you I have no intention of that position!" Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo was irritated by the scrutinizing gaze of Marquis Al Tigrand Franz and quickly stood up and waved his arms to prove his innocence.

"...I haven't said anything yet, and isn't your Wind Family an Elector Family? It's hard to believe what you said!" Al Tigrand Franz looked like he didn't believe you and said, "Don't lie to me."

"Hiss... Don't you know why the Windrush Family went to the East?" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's face twitched. Didn't the Windrush Family go to the East to become Grand Duke just to escape the political whirlpool? After all, the family's bloodline is very convincing in the empire!

"In order to accumulate strength to regain the throne?" Marquis Al-Tigrand Franz asked back.

"You... If the Jiliu family wanted to do this, you should have called me Your Majesty in front of my ancestors!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo roared. Did the Franz family treat the emperor like a dog? Everyone they see thinks he's going to rebel? The emperor might be dead, and you're still wagging your tail?

"His Majesty treats you well! You can't do anything stupid!" Marquis Al-Tigrand Franz warned. Although he was alone at the moment, his momentum was as if there were thousands of troops standing behind him!

"Aren't you seriously ill?" Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo asked with twitching eyelids. He used to think that the Franz family was a little abstract, but now he realized that this serious illness was not a small one!

"The empire has not yet become extinct, so even if you are an elector, it will not be your turn to inherit the position!" Marquis Al-Tigrand Franz warned. It is obvious that it will not be the electors' turn before the royal family becomes extinct!

"Nervous!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's face twitched as he looked at the serious Al Tigrand Franz, and a feeling of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't say that I have no interest in that position! I just want to ask you a question! What year is it today?" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo had sarcasm in his eyes. He opened his hands and pointed to the wasteland behind him which used to be the imperial grassland!

Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo could clearly see that the pupils of Marquis Al Tegrand Franz suddenly shrank. Although he concealed it quickly, Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo still noticed the flash of panic in his expression. However, Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo did not point it out to him. This is like waking up from a sleep and the world returning to prehistoric times. Anyone would be confused!

"Remember, as long as the royal family is alive, you will always be just a prince!" Marquis Al Tigrand Franz chose to verbally warn Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo. After that, without waiting for Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo to speak, he walked towards the campfire in the distance, where a group of soldiers were preparing to cook a pot of porridge for everyone.

... "Is this the patriarch of the Franz family? So crazy?" Okrien Ryukin came close to Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo and whispered.

"Ahem... normal. What do you think the family relied on to rise from peddlers to marquis?" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo laughed and shook his head.

"What?" Okrien Ryukin asked curiously. He was not the one in power in the family so he naturally did not need to remember the history and characteristics of each noble family. If anything happened, it would be Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo who would take the blame anyway. When he heard this for the first time, he immediately became furious.

"Capability alone is not enough, loyalty is also required... Loyalty alone is not enough, ability is also required! It is not a shame to be born in a humble family, only a man who can bend and stretch can be a real husband! The Franz family relied on their loyalty to the emperor and the family's excellent system for selecting heirs to gradually climb into the eyes of the royal family!"

"But the positioning of the Empire's Double Fists is not..." Okrian Ryukin hesitated. It seems that the positioning of these families overlaps! After all, when it comes to loyalty and ability, the Double Fists have never lost!

"Do you think your fists are really loyal?" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo said with a faint smile.

"No! They are loyal to this country! This race! They... are not kneeling to the emperor, but to the millions of people in this world!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo said calmly.

"Double Fists doesn't need to prove their loyalty to the royal family, nor does it need proof! They already have a share in this empire! They... are the pillars of the empire who voluntarily gave up the Elector!" Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo said with emotion.

"Wait, Yasuo, I'm a little confused. What you said is too confusing! I don't understand..." Oakrian Liukin tapped his head and said.

"That's right, you don't understand. It would be great if humans could be as pure as swords!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo smiled wryly and shook his head.

"The rise of the Franz family is precisely due to their loyalty to the emperor! In other words, they are not loyal to this country but to the royal family of this country! The patriarchs of each generation of the Franz family are terribly clear-headed, their goals are firm, their minds are pure, and they can sacrifice their own honor and reputation for the emperor. Who wouldn't like such gloves?" Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo said helplessly.

“This…isn’t this just being a dog? This…” Okrien Ryukin was stunned. He thought he had some extraordinary abilities, but this?

"Every family has its own way of survival. We just need to do our own thing and we don't need to pay attention to others..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo waved his hand.
