"Back?" The next morning, Li Huailin received a strange message as soon as he got online.
"Yes, I've received the news that the entire First Legion has returned. His Highness is waiting for you in the main hall," the soldier said.
"Oh? So obedient … "Li Huailin stroked his chin slightly. This was a little beyond his expectations. To be honest, he had already planned to annihilate the 1st Legion. He didn't expect the other party to really retreat after saying a few words. Could it be that his reputation had risen to the point where he could do this?
In any case, Li Huailin followed the soldier to the palace immediately. Of course, all the ministers who received the news were now there, and the atmosphere was much better than before.
"Duke of Aquitaine, I heard that you made an army of a hundred thousand retreat with just one shout. That's really amazing." Seeing Li Huailin come in, the ministers immediately went over to praise him. It seemed that they had heard about what happened yesterday.
"They really retreated?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, they retreated last night. They should be back at the encampment by now. We have also contacted the Deputy Marshal there," Prime Minister Mach said as he walked over.
"Deputy Marshal? In other words, Karcylos? "Li Huailin asked." How did you get in touch with him? "
"In fact, the other party took the initiative to contact us and tell us the whole situation," Mach said. "Duke, do you know? There are people in the First Legion who really wanted to rebel. There are more than a dozen of them, and they almost started it. Fortunately, Deputy Marshal Karcylos was quick-witted. He first pretended to agree with the other party's plan, and then secretly mobilized his personal guards. Last night, he directly controlled these people, and now all the rebels have been arrested. "
"Oh?" Li Huailin paused for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to understand what was going on. "So, Karcylos made a great contribution this time?"
"Of course, he defeated a rebellion that almost toppled the country," Mach said with slight admiration.
Li Huailin nodded. No wonder his favorability didn't change. It was because he really didn't make any contribution in this matter. The one who made the contribution was Kartheros. Although he said that he flew over there and shouted a few times, everyone knew that it was because Kartheros captured the rebels that the First Legion retreated. Therefore, although these ministers praised him, they were basically flattering him.
"There are a dozen rebellious NCOs in the First Legion." Li Huailin said with a smile. He already understood Kartheros's plan. He didn't expect this guy to have some tricks up his sleeve.
"Yeah, I didn't expect these guys to think about this kind of thing while eating the country's salary," Mach said unhappily. "Fortunately, nothing big happened, or else …"
"His Highness has arrived!" While they were talking, the guard on the other side shouted. Anthony had appeared. Of course, he had heard the news, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood. After all, it involved Wilham's matter.
"Huailin, you're here too." Seeing Li Huailin, Anthony's mood also calmed down a little. "Have you heard about it?"
"Yeah, I heard about it this morning." Li Huailin nodded. "Isn't it good? It saves me a lot of work."
"I heard from the people in the prison that Wilham was worried that you would flatten the First Legion in a fit of anger. To be honest, I was a little worried too," Anthony said with a smile. "It's okay now."
Li Huailin really wanted to flatten the First Legion. In fact, the 5,000 Royal Guards were actually prepared to hunt down deserters. Li Huailin originally wanted to take this opportunity to let the Dragon race and the human race come into contact. Helping the human race to quell the civil strife was a very good entry point, but he didn't have the chance to do so.
"Then the next problem is how to deal with the First Legion." Anthony said. "Deputy Marshal Karcylos has already contacted us yesterday. He's now in charge of questioning several non-commissioned officers who rebelled. He'll come to the main city this morning to explain the situation in person."
"Are you trying to find a few people to take the blame?" A minister suddenly said. "Although Deputy Marshal Karcylos made a contribution this time, he's still a member of the First Legion after all. I don't think the First Legion can be trusted anymore."
"Hmm, that makes sense …" The ministers next to him nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, we can't be lenient in dealing with the First Legion this time. This is a very serious matter that must be dealt with seriously. We can't take it lightly," another minister said.
"No matter what, let's listen to Deputy Marshal Karcylos's report first." Anthony frowned slightly. He didn't really want to punish the First Legion heavily. After all, the First Legion was his personal army. Moreover, he didn't really trust Wilham's words. He had a feeling that something was wrong …
"Your Highness, Count Karcylos is waiting outside," a guard said as he ran over. Karcylos had arrived.
"Summon him," Anthony said immediately.
All the ministers stopped talking and looked in the direction of the gate.
Soon, three figures appeared at the gate. Of course, the leader was Count Karcylos, and the other two were Karcylos's left and right hands, Karrus and Ley.
"Sinner Karcylos (Karrus, Ley) greets Your Majesty," the three walked in front of Anthony and knelt down at the same time.
"No, Karcylos, you've made a great contribution this time. You don't have to call yourself a sinner," Anthony said.
"No … I can't shirk my responsibility this time," Karcylos said immediately. "I didn't expect there to be so many rebels in the First Legion, and as the Deputy Marshal, I didn't even notice it. Of course, it's my responsibility! I have to take responsibility. "
"No!" "Your Majesty, it's not like this. In fact, we felt something was wrong at the beginning, but we have reported these things to the Marshal, but the Marshal told us not to worry about this matter …" Clarence suddenly shouted.
"What?!" Before Karrus could finish his words, there was a huge uproar. Karrus's words were very obvious. They would have reported the situation if they had discovered it, but Wilham didn't react at all. This was a crime of treason. Normally, there would be an investigation, but you didn't investigate it. And now, there were so many traitors. Could it be that … Wilham was one of them?
"There's such a thing?" Anthony was also stunned and immediately asked.
"Don't talk nonsense!" "The Marshal is definitely not a traitor. It's just that the Marshal is usually very busy, so he forgot about this matter. If you knew about this, you should have reported it to me earlier." Kartheros suddenly said to Kartheros angrily.
"I … I've already reported it to the Marshal, but he said it didn't matter, so I didn't think too much about it. Now that I think about it, it's indeed my responsibility," Karrus immediately admitted his mistake.
There were two meanings in their words. One was that Karcylos didn't know about it beforehand because no one reported it to him, and the other was that Wilham knew about it. When these two situations were superimposed, it immediately seemed to make people think of something.
"Heh." Li Huailin smiled. This guy was really awesome. He had one political trick after another.
"Your Royal Highness, this is the result of my interrogation overnight." Karcylos was still reporting the situation this time. He quickly handed a document to the guard next to him. The guard also immediately handed the document to Anthony. While Anthony was reading it, Karcylos simply said, "More than half of the officials of the first legion participated in this rebellion. For example, Magoni, Kruka, and a few others are the main culprits. They took the lead in instigating the soldiers to march towards the main city. Morakot, Sagur, and the others also didn't report it. They tacitly acquiesced to this incident. Of course, they are also guilty of the same crime."
"So many people?" All the ministers were surprised that Karcylos had thrown out so many people at once. They originally thought that the first legion was going to drag out two or three people to take the blame. They didn't expect Karcylos to drag out more than half of the senior officers. Could it be that Karcylos was really serious about this? Was he really serious about the interrogation?
"Your Royal Highness, there may be some low-ranking officers involved in this incident, but there won't be a lot of them. Most of the soldiers were just following orders. I will continue to investigate this matter immediately. All the officers involved will be arrested, but the soldiers are innocent. I hope Your Royal Highness can punish the people on the list, including us who failed in our duties. But please don't make things difficult for the soldiers," Karcylos said again. Judging from his expression, he looked like a good general who loved his soldiers like his own children.
"Of course …" Anthony didn't want to deal with the 1st Division either, and this was exactly what he wanted. However, just as he was about to agree, he suddenly saw Li Huailin at the side. He paused for a moment before asking, "Grand Marshal, Grand Marshal, Huailin!"
"Huh? You called me? "Li Huailin was a little surprised. He wasn't used to being called Grand Marshal.
"Of course, you are the current Grand Marshal of the army. Of course, I have to ask for your opinion on this matter," Anthony said.
"Oh, let me see," Li Huailin said. "Isn't Earl Karcylos's suggestion good? How about this? Kill all the senior officers of the first legion. I will be the Grand Marshal of the first legion, and leave the second legion to Michael. "
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, including Anthony and Karcylos.
