"My Lord, are you really going to let them go? Do you want to follow them? "Seeing the two leaving figures, Drake asked tentatively.
"Didn't you hear what I said? These two are not important to me, "Li Huailin said.
"Yes, my Lord. Don't worry, my Lord. I'm loyal to you," Drake suddenly said.
"Do you think that I'm holding onto Queen Malina's weakness and am about to threaten her?" Li Huailin suddenly asked with a smile.
"Isn't … that the case?" Drake asked tentatively.
"Malina has nothing to do with me. What I'm looking for now is Stone." Li Huailin said, "And to find Stone, I have to find this guy named Kartheros first."
"My Lord, Kartheros's territory is to the east of here, but Kartheros should still be serving in the First Legion. After all, it's still during the war," Reggie said.
"Oh, it's not far from here." Li Huailin nodded. "Reggie, help me keep an eye on Kartheros, but don't let him find out."
"Yes, my Lord." Reggie immediately nodded.
"Drake, go back and collect all the information about Kartheros. Secretly."
"Yes, my Lord." Drake nodded.
"This matter is to be kept a secret from everyone for now."
"Understood, my Lord." Everyone replied in unison.
Just as Li Huailin was about to return to the city, the long-distance communication suddenly rang. Li Huailin took a look and was surprised to see that it was Hai Tianlan who had just left. As the two of them had added each other as friends, Hai Tianlan could now find Li Huailin.
"What's the matter?" Li Huailin asked. Of course, he thought it was something that happened before.
"I just returned to the city, and then I received a mission," Hai Tianlan said.
"Oh? Is it a follow-up mission? "Li Huailin asked curiously.
"No, it's a new mission, a mission to find you," Hai Tianlan said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback.
"That's right. All the NPCs in the main city are looking for you. It seems like something has happened. They've already started issuing quests for you. I only accepted this quest," Hai Tianlan said. "Is it related to the quest?"
"Okay, got it. I'll go back and have a look." Li Huailin frowned slightly. Could it be that the situation here had been discovered? Although Li Huailin didn't know what was going on, he wasn't too worried. After informing Dramo, Li Huailin returned to the city.
He took the Teleportation Formation to the main city. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he was immediately stopped by a few city guards. "Duke Aquitaine, this is great. You're finally back."
"Oh, is there something urgent?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, it's urgent." The guard immediately said, "Please come with us to the palace to see His Highness."
"Oh." Li Huailin nodded slightly. As he followed the guard, he asked, "What's the rush?"
"It seems …" The guard looked around, then slightly lowered his voice and said, "It seems like a rebellion."
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. "In other words … someone is rebelling?"
"Yes." The guard nodded.
"Who is it?" Li Huailin's thoughts turned. He had just seen the most rebellious guy, and now he was discovered? Was it referring to his side? Speaking of which, there were so many rebellious places. He didn't even know where he was discovered. Could it be that they were going to arrest him? It didn't seem like it.
As he spoke, Li Huailin followed the guard into the inner city of the palace. Of course, Li Huailin wasn't worried. First of all, he definitely wouldn't die. Jail? Li Huailin had the teleportation necklace. If something really went wrong, he could just fly away. He didn't need to worry at all.
The guards at the entrance of the palace seemed to be anxiously waiting for Li Huailin. When they saw Li Huailin appear, they hurriedly ran over. "Great, Your Excellency. His Highness is looking for you everywhere. It's urgent."
"It doesn't seem to be me." Li Huailin looked at the other party's attitude and knew that it had nothing to do with him. But who could it be?
In any case, Li Huailin walked into the palace again. As expected, the palace was already bustling. All the ministers were present again, and they seemed to be in a panic. When they saw Li Huailin walk in, the entire hall suddenly became quiet.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked lightly. "What happened?"
"Huailin." Anthony sat on the throne and looked at Li Huailin with a slight sense of loss. His eyes seemed to convey a little disappointment. "Something happened."
"I can see that too. What happened?" Li Huailin asked. "I heard that someone is rebelling. Who is it?"
"Your Excellency, the one rebelling is … the First Legion." Prime Minister Mach walked over and said.
"What?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. This time, he just mentioned the First Legion, and the other party rebelled. This was too much. "What happened? The First Legion rebelled? Why? Wilhelm rebelled? "
"No, Marquis Wilhelm is now in the main city's prison." Mach once again explained a situation that Li Huailin couldn't understand.
"Huh? Wilhelm is locked up? Why? "Li Huailin asked with a puzzled look." Because the First Legion rebelled? Isn't he the leader? Why did they arrest him? "
"No, Your Excellency, listen to me," Mach said. "Wilhelm was arrested because of another matter … and that is … the assassination of the former Marshal, Morpheus."
"Oh?" Li Huailin suddenly had an idea. "Wilhelm assassinated the former Marshal?"
"Yes." Mach nodded. "Your Excellency, you may know about this. The former Marshal Morpheus, who is now His Highness' father, was killed in the battle between the Orcs and the Demons. However, the cause of his death is suspicious. According to the statements of a few sergeants, Marshal Morpheus may have been injured before he left the battle, which was why he was killed by the Orc general … "
"I know about this." Li Huailin nodded. "And now, we found the assassin, Wilhelm?"
"Yes." Mach nodded. "We found evidence that points to Wilhelm. Yesterday, His Highness approved the arrest of Wilhelm and was about to interrogate him. Unexpectedly, we suddenly received news today that the First Legion has defied orders and left the encampment, heading towards the main city."
"Oh, there's such a thing." Li Huailin suddenly nodded. "So, you're looking for me because …"
"Yes, they're preparing to send the Second Legion to the main city to stop the First Legion," Mach said.
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. He finally understood the whole situation. No wonder everyone was looking for him so urgently. It turned out that something big had happened. The First Legion's encampment wasn't very far from the main city, so it wouldn't take long for them to arrive. If they couldn't find him by tomorrow, they would see the First Legion arriving.
"Your Excellency, this is an emergency. We can only rely on you to stabilize the situation," Mach said immediately. A large group of civil officials behind him immediately bowed to Li Huailin and said, "Your Excellency, please take charge of the situation."
"Oh, let me understand the situation a little." Li Huailin nodded. "If that's the case, that means the First Legion thinks that Wilhelm is innocent, so they're approaching the main city?"
"It seems so." Mach nodded.
"Did they negotiate with them?" Li Huailin asked.
"They did, but they were all detained," Mach said. "We don't know if the messenger is alive or dead, so no one dares to go now."
"That's troublesome." Li Huailin nodded. "In that case, Wilhelm is now detained in the main city, and the person in charge of the First Legion is Deputy Marshal … Kartheros?"
"I think so," Mach said.
"I see." Li Huailin nodded, then turned to Anthony. "Wilhelm assassinated your father? You've suddenly found out about this matter? "
"I saw it. It's indeed evidence." Anthony nodded.
"You believe it?"
"I don't believe it. That's why I didn't immediately put him on death row. I just wanted to clarify things," Anthony said. "Then, I suddenly received a report of the First Legion's rebellion."
"What about Wilhelm himself? Why do you say so? "Li Huailin asked.
"He doesn't admit it," Anthony said. "But I don't know if I should believe him. In fact … although he's my father's former subordinate, you know I can't remember this at all. So, I don't really know what kind of person Wilhelm is. After the New Empire was established, he was loyal to me. So, I can't suddenly believe that he's the person who killed my father."
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded, then suddenly said, "So, tomorrow's celebration banquet is canceled?"
"Your Grace, how can you be in the mood to hold a celebration banquet at this time?" Mach said immediately. He really didn't know what was going through Li Huailin's mind.
"What a f * cking headache." Li Huailin facepalmed. "Okay, okay. I'll solve this as soon as possible."
"Huailin, you're still the wartime Marshal. All the troops are under your command. It's all up to you now," Anthony said.
"Don't worry, there's no problem on my side." Li Huailin said, "But first, I need to ask something. Can I see Wilhelm first?"
"Oh, of course." Anthony nodded immediately. "It's urgent. Do you want to see him now?"
"Yes, I want to see him now. It's also urgent," Li Huailin said.
