"Dukaski family, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Under the light of dawn in the early morning, the little clerk who was opening a can for Lisa looked curiously at Anson who suddenly came over, and smiled slightly in confusion; the girl next to him had already skillfully divided the bread for the three of them, and also

Humming a tune, he used a dagger to draw the heads of three people on it.

"Why, shouldn't I ask?" Anson rolled his eyes:

"As the commander-in-chief, shouldn't you know the identities and backgrounds of your subordinates?"

"No, no, no... I don't mean that." He opened the can's ring with force, and Allen waved his hands in a panic:

"...So you really don't know?"

"What do you think?"

"Well, please allow your secretary to put it another way...how much do you know about Lieutenant Colonel Alexei?"

"Um……"

Anson, who was frowning, tried hard to recall for half a minute. It wasn't until the little clerk opened two cans and brought over the boiling water that he had just boiled that his eyebrows were squeezed together and finally relaxed a little: "I only heard Norton mention it.

Alexey fled from the empire to Clovis, assuming the identity of a fallen officer, and the Dukaskis...should be the Dukaski family of the Glory Castle, right?"

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Absolutely correct." The little secretary nodded slightly:

"Although the Dukaski family of Castle of Glory is only a count, it is not an ordinary wealthy family like the empire. The family history even exceeds that of the Clovis royal family, the Osteria family... Of course, the empire is basically a wealthy family with a name and a history.

Longer than the Clovis royal family."

"Uh huh huh..."

The chief of staff nodded casually and motioned to the little secretary to talk about the key points quickly.

"The Dukaski family...their situation is quite special." The little clerk's expression gradually became serious: "In addition to the title of Earl of Glory Castle, the successive heads of the Dukaski family also have the title of palace marquis."

"The reason is that the ancestors of the Dukaski family are not from the Empire. To be more precise, they are not from the south of the Empire, but from a certain clan tribe from the east. Their names are completely unknown. The only thing that is known is that they finally joined the Dragon Knights.

Hered later followed Fire Knight Wolf and became a vassal of the Grand Duchy of Brahm."

I understand, because the Dukaski family was once a vassal of the Herred royal family and a foreign family worth winning over, so in addition to the fiefdom of Glory Castle, they can also hold the title of palace marquis... Anson nodded slightly: "But this is not the same as

What does it have to do with Alexey running away from home?”

"Because the key to the 'Fire Knight Dukaski' family's ability to retain their title of palace marquis lies in their special marriage relationship with the Wolfe family." The little secretary said as he handed the can to Lisa:

"I'm not particularly clear on the specific situation. To put it simply, the Wolf family has been extinct once. Although the power of the Fire Knight bloodline is not as rare as the Sea Knight, it is difficult to ensure that every generation can awaken."

"The inheritance law of the Grand Duchy of Bram seems to be very complicated. The Wolfe family cannot easily marry or marry ordinary small nobles. The direct consequence of a series of problems is that the power of the Fire Knight bloodline is cut off... But Grand Duke Bram, or

The other half of Archduke Brahm must be the Fire Knight."

"So the Dukaski family can only come forward to provide the Wolfe family with a person gifted with the power of the Fire Knight blood?" Anson thought thoughtfully: "But isn't this a good thing? Why does Alexei have to have it?

What about running away from marriage?"

"Uh..." Alan Dawn's face changed slightly, as if he was hiding something unspeakable: "But, it may be because he not only has to marry the person designated by the Wolfe family, but also can't keep his original surname.

Bar?"

"The designated partner, so what Norton said about regretting the marriage is... hmm?!"

Anson suddenly realized something, and his expression suddenly froze: "Wait! You, you just said...marry?!"

"That's right!" The little clerk nodded blankly, with pity in his eyes: "Not only that, Alexey who married in the past will also have to give up his family name, be erased from the family genealogy, and become the Wolf family.

of members, but their names cannot be included in Wolfe’s family tree.”

"In exchange, the Dukaski family can continue to hold the title of palace marquis, and have a status second only to the Wolf family in the Grand Duchy of Brahm...well, it is far inferior in terms of influence."

"Wait a minute, this progress is a little faster..."

Anson quickly raised his hand to stop the little clerk who wanted to continue: "In other words, because of the death of the heir and a lot of messy things, the Wolf family must rely on the Dukaski family to continue and inherit the power of the Fire Knight bloodline.

, in exchange the Dukaski family received a higher status?"

"And the person in this generation who needs to sacrifice for the family is Alexei?"

"As far as we know, yes." Allen nodded slightly: "Of course, the more specific things inside are not clear. After all, we are not the parties involved. Unless Alexei takes the initiative to speak, it should not be known."

"In fact, after several generations of marriage, it is difficult to say which of the two major families, Wolf and Dukaski, has more of the bloodline of "Wolf the Fire Knight", especially since the head of the Wolf family has died out.

After one time, there may be more Dukaski families; but years of inertia and the special status of the Marquis of the Palace have completely distorted the inheritance lineage of the Dukaski family, and they have gone all out to cultivate talented people of the Fire Knight.

I just want to be a sacrifice to the Wolf family..."

Anson can understand this to some extent, because he has a living example around him; the difference is that the Rune family is for a higher level of evolution, while the Dukaski family is for the title.

Alexey didn't want to become such a twisted sacrifice, so he chose to flee, but he did not change his name, which shows that he still cares about his family... Escape is not betrayal.

It is precisely because of this that when Norton Crosell took the initiative to come to him, Anson agreed to his request and transferred Alexei with a task that anyone could complete to avoid fratricide.

"Well, if you say that, wouldn't Alexei be in danger now?" The girl on the side suddenly woke up and said: "The main force of the remnants of the Borre Corps is storming the slave port. In case the Dukaski family

If there are people inside..."

"It's okay, don't worry too much about him." Anson smiled and shook his head, patting Lisa's little head gently:

"The Slave Port is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it will not fall to the point where it will fall in just a few days; not to mention how much combat power the remaining Borre Corps, who have run out of ammunition and food, can still have. If the intelligence is correct,

Alexei has already built a position with four lines of defense outside the town, and it can still be done if we persist for three or four days."

"Calculating the time from today to today, it's only two days at most. We and Norton and the others will be able to arrive at the slave port no later than tomorrow morning and encircle the Borre Corps with Alexey and the others - even the members of the Dukaski family are included.

, we also have ways to avoid conflicts between them and Alexey."

Anson is quite confident about this, and he has even made a plan: since Borre Levent is not among the remnants of the legion at all, he can completely negotiate with the remaining people, such as using the remnants of the Levent family in exchange, allowing

The remaining people "recaptured" the slave port and retreated to Sailing City. Ludwig Franz, who had obtained the information, would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to completely destroy the Levent family's power in the Jihad Army.

.

"Uh..." Before he finished speaking, the little clerk on the side suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed expression:

"As for the situation in the slave port, it may not develop as you hope..."

Um?

Anson's expression changed, and he and the girl looked at the embarrassed Allen Dawn at the same time: "What's going on?"

The little clerk who pursed his lips vigorously lowered his head, silently took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "Here, this is the news that Lieutenant Colonel Norton Crosell sent the hussar urgently. I

I originally wanted to wait until breakfast was over before giving it to you."

"It says that the Battle of the Slave Port has ended... Lieutenant Colonel Alexei and the Acting Commander of the Holy War Army, Pavel Dukaski, have joined forces to annihilate the last remnants of the Levent family..."

"……What?!"

…………………………

The stunned Pavel froze on the spot, staring intently at the familiar figure who was extremely embarrassed and had an extremely ugly face. His whole person seemed to be petrified.

Not only him, but the defenders of the slave-trapping port present also had similar feelings. Each of them had their mouths widened and their eyes widened. Their rifles slipped from their hands and hit the instep without realizing it. They tried hard to remember what they had just faced.

The name that the guy who calls himself the Acting Legion Commander calls himself - to be more precise, it's his surname.

Dukaski?

He, he said his last name was...Dukaski?

That's not, blah blah blah...

The soldiers looked at a loss, but Alexey was at a loss. His right hand holding the handle of the knife unconsciously loosened his grip. His empty mind seemed to have forgotten everything, and yet he seemed to understand everything.

No wonder... no wonder that sneaky priest patted his chest and said, this is some kind of big business that is beneficial to him, he must have planned it long ago!

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Alexey took a long breath to regain his composure, and stepped out of the trench.

Several company commanders and chief bureau chiefs in the back row wanted to follow, but he stopped them with their hands and stared at his back without daring to move.

"Commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Storm Legion, Alexey Dukaski!" Alexey stared at Pavel, and a slight tremor could be heard in his calm voice:

"As the highest military commander of the Slave Port garrison, I accept the surrender of your army!"

Pavel was stunned, and his slightly raised brow showed some dissatisfaction.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the heavily armed defenders on the opposite side, as well as the disarmed soldiers behind him. He quickly concealed this small emotion, pretending that nothing happened, took off his saber, and handed it over with both hands.

But the expressionless Alexey did not take it, and still looked at him coldly.

"Alexei..."

"It seems that just having your own sword is not enough, your Excellency, Acting Legion Commander?"

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment directly intercepted and said: "Now that the Levent family has been wiped out and Borre Levent himself has disappeared, your identity alone seems to be no longer enough to represent the holy war in front of you.

The army is here."

"This...there is no such thing!"

Pavel was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, you really have misunderstood. It is precisely because I have the authorization from everyone in the entire Jihad Army that everyone is disgusted with the arrogance of the Levent family.
