In the prison of the Human Race's main city. Wilham's current situation was relatively good. He was in a single cell. Of course, the marshal hadn't been tortured yet because his crime hadn't been determined yet. Of course, Wilham had also learned about the current situation, including the fact that the 1st Legion had left their encampment for unknown reasons. Of course, he also learned that Li Huailin was coming to see him.
Wilham was very anxious now. Of course, he was anxious to solve the current problem. He didn't know what happened to the 1st Legion, but he knew that as long as he got rid of them, he would be able to solve the problem immediately. As for the assassination of the former marshal, he wasn't worried at all because he didn't do it at all. He couldn't be wrongly accused, right?
Footsteps sounded. Wilham raised his head and looked anxiously in the direction of the prison's entrance. It should be the Duke of Aquitaine. Wilham felt that the Duke of Aquitaine wouldn't believe this matter. Of course, he should know the fastest way to solve the problem now. Of course, he was willing to cooperate.
"Marquis Wilham, the Duke of Aquitaine is here." The prison guard didn't dare to neglect Wilham. Basically, he was the one who reported the news to the prison. Although the marshal of the 1st Legion was in prison now, it wasn't confirmed that he was convicted. He might be released the next day, so the prison guard wanted to build a good relationship with him.
"Duke of Aquitaine." Wilham stood up anxiously. "Listen to me. This is all a misunderstanding. I need to go out immediately. I need to go to the 1st Legion's encampment. I promise I'll solve this matter immediately."
"Oh, no hurry." Li Huailin slowly walked to the door of Wilham's cell. He looked around and found that Wilham was in good condition. "Wilham, calm down."
"How can I calm down?" Wilham said. "I didn't expect things to develop like this. I still don't know what's going on. I heard that the 1st Legion will arrive at the main city tomorrow. That's going to be a big problem."
"That's why I told you not to worry. I'm here, aren't I?" Li Huailin said. "Wilham, answer a few questions for me first …"
Wilham interrupted Li Huailin and said, "I can answer all your questions, Duke Aquitaine. I definitely didn't assassinate the marshal, and I didn't plan what happened to the 1st Legion. I don't know what happened at all, but these things have absolutely nothing to do with me. I still serve His Highness Anthony." Wilham interrupted Li Huailin.
"Wait, wait, wait …" Li Huailin shrugged. "That's not important."
"Huh?" Wilham was stunned. If that wasn't important, then what was important? Could it be that the Duke of Aquitaine didn't believe him? "Your Grace, the so-called evidence …"
"I didn't even look at those things." Li Huailin said directly, "Anyway, it's all fabricated, and I can't be bothered to look at it. Also, I believe what you said. I'm not retarded. I'm here to ask you something else."
"Something else?" Wilham didn't know how to answer. Li Huailin trusted him, but the problem was that the 1st Legion was approaching the main city for some reason. "But the 1st Legion …"
"That's a small problem. It has nothing to do with me." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "This can be put aside. I have a more important question to ask you now."
"A more important question?" Wilham was slightly taken aback. "Then … may I ask."
"Karcylos is your deputy, right? How much do you know about him?" Li Huailin asked.
"Karl?" Wilham pondered for a moment. He didn't know what Li Huailin meant by this question. Could it be that the 1st Legion was stirring up trouble because of Karcylos? That seemed to be the case. If he wasn't around, Karcylos would be the most powerful person in the 1st Legion. "Karl is my trusted aide and a veteran of the 1st Legion. He's one of the people who went through life and death together with the marshal (in this case, Marshal Morpheus)."
"In other words, it's someone you trust?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I trust him." Wilham thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then you might have trusted the wrong person." Li Huailin spread his hands.
"You're saying that Karl did this?" Wilham was slightly taken aback. "This … this is impossible. Putting everything else aside, he has no reason to do these things. Do you think he wants me as the marshal? That's impossible, Your Grace. Based on Karl's current position, he'll be the marshal of the 1st Legion as long as I step down. So, he doesn't have to do anything to get the position. Why would he take the risk? "
"I'm not interested." Li Huailin said calmly. "Whatever you think is your business. I'll only tell you one thing. If I think he did it, then he did it. If he didn't, then he didn't. It's just like how I don't think you did it. The so-called evidence doesn't matter at all. My judgment is the final answer."
"…" Wilham was taken aback again. This … Li Huailin's words were indeed a little scary and a little too arrogant. However, when he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to be a problem at all. It was indeed as he said, and he could do it.
"Alright, the first question. You said that Karcylos is a veteran of the 1st Legion. How old is he, and when exactly did he join the army?" Li Huailin asked.
"Erm …" Wilham finally snapped out of his daze. He looked at Li Huailin with a complicated gaze. "Probably more than ten years ago."
"Before that, his resume was blank. According to him, he said that he was a civilian. Have you investigated his family?" Li Huailin asked.
"This …" Wilham thought for a moment. "I'm not sure."
"This person's promotion speed is unusually fast. Try to recall who promoted this guy." Li Huailin asked.
"This … I …" Wilham looked like he didn't know how to answer.
"Was it Anthony himself?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
“！” Wilham was stunned for a moment before he suddenly thought of something. "Yes, I remember now. He was indeed close to Anthony. Back then, he was the closest to Anthony in the 1st Legion. Of course, his promotion speed was also very fast. By the way, I heard about him from Anthony when I first heard about him … "
"Understood." Li Huailin nodded. "Next question, do you know Count Chittallera?"
"Count Chittallera?" Wilham was obviously stunned. "Of course I do. He's my swordsmanship teacher."
"Oh? Swordsmanship teacher? " Li Huailin was stunned. "Wait, the Count Chittallera you're talking about isn't the same one I'm talking about?"
"Huh? Oh, you're talking about your teacher's son? I don't know him. I've never seen him before, "Wilham said." Didn't I hear that he's a civil servant? "
"Oh, I see. Then this Count Chittallera you're talking about is dead, right? When and how did he die?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … This is something that happened more than ten years ago …" Wilham said. He didn't know why Li Huailin kept asking him about things that happened so long ago. Fortunately, the old Count Chittallera was his teacher, so he still remembered the matter clearly. If it were someone else, they would have forgotten that there was such a person in the 1st Legion. "He was sentenced to death by military law because he delayed a military plan. Of course, it was Marshal Moffat who dealt with him."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded.
"But …" Wilham suddenly said, "But I don't believe it. To be honest, I didn't believe that he would make such a mistake. I don't know what went wrong, but …"
"Just like you, the old Count Chittallera was framed," Li Huailin said calmly.
"What?" Wilham was stunned.
"Marshal doesn't need a reason to deal with him," Li Huailin said.
"Marshal, you're talking about Lord Moffat …" Wilham said in surprise.
"It's a pity that your marshal was used as a tool." Li Huailin smiled.
"What?" Wilham was getting more and more surprised. The marshal was used as a tool? Who would dare to do that? What was going on?
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I can roughly guess what happened after listening to you." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to delve into this matter. It won't do you any good. It's a dark history anyway."
"No, this matter …"
"Pretend you don't know anything about it. Otherwise, your treason charges will be confirmed," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "I know you are very anxious now. You are anxious to go out and solve this matter, but believe me, you will not be of any use if you go out. The best way is to stay here and do nothing."
"Do nothing?" Wilham said. "How is that possible?! The First Army is already approaching the main city. How can I do nothing? "
"With me around, no one can do anything." Li Huailin said simply. "Besides, I think you've been worrying about the wrong target from the beginning. The main city will be fine. The one that's in trouble now is the First Army."
"?" Wilham was shocked. "You're going to …"
"Don't worry, I'm a good person." Li Huailin said faintly, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I'll give the 1st Legion a chance, but whether they cherish it or not depends on whether they're smart or not. If they're so stupid that there's no cure for them, then so be it."
