As mentioned before, Li Huailin didn't expect his cannon blast to cause so many repercussions. As he didn't expect it, he went offline after the competition ended. As a result, the Spirit World Guild's Leader, Night Flight, couldn't find Li Huailin at all. The Red Army of Women's Leader wasn't around either. This … They didn't know how to deal with it.
Although everyone knew that the Spirit World's Leader, Night Flight, had a good relationship with Li Huailin, this was a matter concerning the Guild, after all. Of course, they couldn't handle it carelessly. In fact, it was impossible for Night Flight to play down the matter. To put it bluntly, the other party had slapped them in the face. Whether it was intentional or not, if they just smiled it off, how were they going to survive in the future?
Moreover, there were also people who took advantage of the situation to stir up trouble. Everyone knew that Ye Hang and Li Huailin had a good relationship, which was naturally not a good thing for the enemies of the Spiritual Realm. What they hoped to see the most was for the two sides to fall out and become enemies. It just so happened that this great opportunity had arrived so inexplicably. Therefore, a large number of enemies from the Spiritual Realm took advantage of the situation to quickly sow discord between the two.
It wasn't just the ghostwriters in the online forums who had taken action. More importantly, the spies from other Guilds who were already in the Spirit World Guild started to provoke Ye Hang, saying that Brother Awesome was in the wrong and that they should retaliate. In an instant, a large number of members joined the Spirit World Guild. Ye Hang felt a headache when he saw the angry crowd. The problem was that he still couldn't contact Li Huailin. He couldn't even get an explanation.
While the gamers were taking action, someone else was also taking action. Of course, it was Li Huailin's enemy, Empress Marina.
Indeed, when Empress Marina heard about this, she was quite happy. She was still thinking of ways to deal with Li Huailin, but she didn't expect Li Huailin to deliver himself to her. She didn't think that someone would dare to do such a thing in a Human Main City. When Marina heard about this, she couldn't believe it for a long time. He was really courting death.
It could be said that Marina was the first to know about this matter, even earlier than Anthony, because Anthony was still dealing with the aftermath in Makmara City in the north. Hearing this, Marina's mind immediately became active. No matter what Li Huailin was thinking, he was courting death. Marina wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
Of course, Marina wasn't that foolish to jump out and go against Li Huailin. It wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, but the problem was that Li Huailin held her Achilles' heel. If she took out the treaty, even if Li Huailin were to court death, everyone's attention would be drawn to the treaty. Therefore, even though this was an opportunity, Marina didn't want to put herself in danger.
After some thought, Marina naturally hoped to borrow someone else's help, which was why she summoned her trusted aide, Yumra.
"You're aware of what the Duke of Aquitaine has done, right?" Marina asked.
"Yes." Yumra nodded. Of course, he didn't expect Li Huailin to be so capable. Of course, he also knew the reason why Marina summoned him. "Your Highness, this is a great opportunity."
"Hmm." Marina nodded. "Tell me about your plan."
"Yes …" Yumra nodded immediately. Of course, the plan was improvised. After thinking for a while, Yumra asked, "Your Highness, do you know of Karsi?"
"Karsi …" Marina recalled a little. "Are you talking about the adjutant under Chief of Internal Affairs Myers?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Yumra nodded. "I heard that Karsi is an upright and plainspoken person who can't tolerate any crooked practices. Your Highness, do you remember that he reported the governor of Soraka City?"
"Oh, he was the one who reported it." Marina nodded. This matter was quite serious. The situation went like this. Soraka City's Castellan Moke was considered a good Castellan. Soraka City's recent development was quite good, so Emperor Anthony summoned Moke to reward him. However, before Moke could receive the reward, Karsi reported Moke to the Castellan. The content of the report was about Moke's corruption. Of course, this could be a big or small matter. As a governor, he was more or less a bit corrupt. There were almost no people who were not corrupt at all. Of course, there were some who were corrupt, but not many. It was completely acceptable to everyone. Anthony was aware of this, but everyone pretended not to see it. Otherwise, all the governors in the country would have been arrested.
But Karsi refused to do so. He insisted on reporting Mook and making a fuss. This not only made Mook very unhappy, but also Anthony. Mook's management of the city was very good, and he had just been praised as a model for the whole country. Now, Karsi reported him. What was he doing? Wasn't he interfering with Anthony's plan? Anthony secretly sent someone to talk to Karsi, but Karsi still refused and reported him. In the end, not only did Mook not receive a reward, but he was also fined half of his annual salary. This made everyone very unhappy.
Marina had heard of this incident, but now she knew that it was Karsi who reported it. She thought for a while and said, "You mean …"
"It's not good for Her Highness to deal with this matter. I think it's better to let Karsi do it. This person is very difficult to deal with. Even if His Majesty wants to protect the Duke, I think he will …" Yumra didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning of his words was clear.
"Hmm …" Marina nodded. "That's a good idea. Hurry up and contact Karsi. I think His Majesty will come back soon to deal with this matter. Tell him to prepare immediately."
"Yes."
So, Yumra went to find Karsi that night. Of course, by this time, all the ministers had already known about this incident, but the specific situation was still unclear. They only knew that the main city had exploded, but the Royal Guards didn't dare to say who did it. They were waiting for Emperor Anthony's order.
When Yumra found Karsi, he also found out that it was Li Huailin who did it. In an instant, Karsi's expression changed drastically.
"I heard that the attack destroyed more than 100 buildings. Not only were there some commercial facilities, but most of them were civilians. Hundreds of people died in this disaster, and the people are homeless. The Duke of Aquitaine made a mistake this time. As loyal ministers of the Nasser Empire, even if the other party is the Duke, we have to fight for what is right. Am I right, Lord Karsi?" Yumra said.
"What?" Karsi was stunned. "You said that the Duke made a mistake this time? Are you stupid? The Duke did a great thing for the people this time. Why do you say that he made a mistake? "
"Huh?" Yumra was stunned. "No, Lord Karsi, the Duke is the culprit who blew up the main city."
"Yes, I know. You said it just now." Karsi nodded.
"Then … then tell me that this is a good thing?" Yumra asked.
"Yes. Countless civilians died and were homeless. Isn't this all thanks to the Duke? Why do I have to report him? Do you think I'm sick? "Karsi asked in surprise.
"I really thought you were sick," Yumra couldn't help but say this. Of course, he didn't say it because he didn't know what to say. This guy … Is there something wrong with his brain?
"You bastard, the Duke did a great thing with great difficulty, and you still want me to report him? What are you trying to do? When I heard about this, I was deeply moved by the Duke's concern for the country and the people. In the end, you still dare to ask me to report the Duke. You are simply making me a traitor. I will never conspire with scum like you. Not only that, but I will definitely speak to His Majesty about this. I will tell the whole world about your evil intentions. "Karsi began to rebuke Yumra.
"Huh?" Yumra was stunned. What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm in the wrong? Isn't this the Duke of Aquitaine's fault?
After being scolded for no reason, Yumra had no idea what was going on. Then, he reported it to Marina. Marina was also confused. What's going on?
"Are the ministers of our country crazy?" Marina was stunned for a long time. "I thought it was strange before. What's going on?"
"Could it be that … the Duke of Aquitaine's power has reached the point where he can really control all the ministers …" Yumra said.
"This …" Marina frowned deeply. It seemed that Li Huailin's power was much greater than she imagined.
Just as she was having a headache about what to do, a soldier suddenly came to report. Because Anthony hadn't returned yet, everything was reported to Marina first.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened. A large group of civilians suddenly gathered at the entrance of the inner city. They said that they want an explanation from His Majesty regarding the explosion of the main city today."
"What?" Marina was stunned at first. Then, she suddenly thought of something and became happy again. "Alright, I understand. I will handle it immediately."
"Your Highness, this …" Yumra was also delighted.
"Yeah, I didn't expect the opportunity to come again," Marina said with a smile. "Duke of Aquitaine, although you can control all the ministers, you can't control all the civilians. I don't believe that you can get away with it this time."
While Marina was setting a flag for herself, Li Huailin … was still sleeping.
