In fact, Li Huailin had no other choice. He couldn't get out of this mess. It seemed that everyone thought that he assassinated Anthony and wanted to become the Emperor of the Human Race. Therefore, in order not to overthrow Anthony, Li Huailin could only move up. Although being the Emperor of the Continent sounded very arrogant, in fact, it was just giving all the maps to their original owners. Therefore, they didn't really care about it.
Originally, he thought that since his side was already like this, Ma Linna should know that he was no longer a threat to her. Since he was already the Emperor of the Continent, would he still be the Emperor of the Human Race? Even the Great Leader of the Beastmen, Li Huailin, let him stay in his original position, so Anthony definitely wouldn't move. Therefore, let's end this farce as soon as possible and hand Anthony over to me as soon as possible. Can't he remember where the secret is?
Of course, Li Huailin's idea was very good. However, he didn't expect that Ma Linna's situation was mainly related to the former Royal Family.
Ma Linna had wanted to deal with Li Huailin before. This was certain. Li Huailin not only controlled two-thirds of the country's military, but also held a high position. Most importantly, he also held the biggest secret of the Emperor and Empress. This was simply too great a threat. Ma Linna really wanted to get rid of Li Huailin. Of course, it really couldn't be done openly. The other party had the treaty in their hands. Therefore, once the other party announced it, it would be over. Therefore, Ma Linna could only frame Li Huailin as a traitor. This way, the other party could make the treaty useless.
Of course, in order to oppose Li Huailin, Ma Linna also gathered all the forces that she could contact. Ma Linna didn't know how many ministers under her were Li Huailin's people, because basically all the ministers were on Li Huailin's side, so she could only contact those who were absolutely opposed to Li Huailin. The first person she contacted was the former royalty who had failed in their rebellion. Of course, it was the fourth princess, Fantine. This former princess had a strong sense of mission. Even though she was defeated by Li Huailin time and time again, she still persisted in trying to overthrow the new empire. When Marina contacted her, she was still researching the next way to overthrow the empire.
At that time, Marina had promised them that Marina was prepared to become the Empress herself. Then, she would ask Fantine and the others to support her. Although there didn't seem to be any difference, it was just the Empress becoming the Emperor. In reality, the ruling family was very different. The current ruling family was Anthony's Murat family. If Marina was prepared to become the Empress, then the ruling family would return to the hands of the Landsberg family. This was a restoration.
Although Fantine wasn't going to become the Empress herself, but rather Marina, Fantine expressed that she could accept this condition. This was because Marina was also a member of the Landsberg family, so it didn't matter. Therefore, the rebels agreed to Marina's conditions.
However, in reality, Marina didn't think so. Her only goal was to get rid of Li Huailin. She didn't want to become the Empress. Although she promised that, she wanted to borrow the hands of the rebels to deal with Li Huailin. If she succeeded, then Li Huailin would leave, and they would be the sole power. Then, it would be easy to deal with the rebels. If she failed, then there was nothing more to say.
Marina also thought that this battle would be a life-and-death battle. If they didn't win, then Li Huailin would win. However, she didn't expect what happened next. Emperor of the continent? What the hell? Since the beginning of the history of the continent, there had never been an emperor. There were people who wanted to unify the continent, but there were too many races on the continent, and the differences between the races were too great. It was almost impossible to unify all the races. The only possibility was to be like the Undead Emperor Hoppes, who led the undead to unify the continent and turned all the other races into undead. Of course, everyone knew that he failed.
Marina didn't know what Li Huailin was talking about. Naturally, she thought that Li Huailin couldn't succeed. However, could it be a new conspiracy? After all, Li Huailin had just used a devious trick to summon all his ministers? However, what happened next left Marina dumbfounded.
The Demons surrendered, the Undead surrendered, the Dwarves surrendered … Shocking news came one after another. When Marina came back to her senses, she discovered that the six major races on the continent, except for the human race, didn't have any reaction. The other five races actually agreed to work with Li Huailin. This was too shocking. What was going on?
Marina had to admit that Li Huailin was a little beyond her imagination. However, since it was already like this, Marina couldn't stop Li Huailin from becoming the Emperor of the continent. So, Marina understood that she should quickly give in and release Anthony. Then, she would tell Li Huailin to make Anthony the human emperor. Then, this matter would be settled. However, the problem was that the rebel army couldn't go around it anymore.
Of course, Fantine had also heard about the news of Li Huailin becoming the Emperor of the continent. Although she was also surprised by Li Huailin's strength, the most important thing now was the situation of the human emperor. Of course, according to the original agreement, the human emperor should be reported as Marina. Of course, Fantine went to discuss with Marina. So … both sides were in a stalemate.
"Now that guy's power is so great, five of the six major races have chosen to acknowledge his position. Since we're the only ones left, we have to acknowledge him on the surface no matter what," Fantine said. Fantine said, "So, Big Sister, it's better if you send out a message and let that guy confer you the title of Human Empress."
"Huh?" Marina was slightly taken aback. She really didn't know what to do. What if Li Huailin really made her the emperor? Although the possibility wasn't high, this … After thinking about it, Marina decided to delay a little. So, she said, "This may be one of the Duke of Aquitaine's schemes. This person is very cunning. It's very likely that he's setting a trap for us. We don't have to do anything now. We'll see how the situation develops tomorrow."
"This … makes sense." Fantine had a deep impression of Li Huailin, so she agreed with Marina's words. She nodded and left.
Not long after Fantine left, Marina started writing the letter. Of course, the content of the letter was to ask Li Huailin to make Anthony the human emperor. After writing it, Marina called her confidant, Yumra, to deliver the letter to Li Huailin's fief that very night. She told Yumra to be careful and not to be discovered.
In the end, Yumra was too careful. Nothing happened to him, but his strange behavior alerted the God of War, Emes. Emes followed Yumra out the door and found him teleporting to Li Huailin's main city. Emms immediately teleported after him and intercepted him before he reached the Duke's mansion. Of course, after searching him, he found the document. Emes' expression changed when he saw it. He immediately went back to tell Fantine the news.
"What!" Fantine was stunned. She didn't expect to be fooled again. She had even given the throne to Marina, but Marina still wanted to give it to an outsider. Did she still have the awareness of being the heir of the Landsberg family?
No matter what, Fantine couldn't let this happen. So, of course, she was going to argue with Marina immediately. The documents were in her hands, and of course, Marina couldn't deny it. But before she left, she was stopped by Ames.
"Your sister never intended to let Anthony give up the throne," Emes said. "She's only using us to deal with the Duke of Aquitaine. Now that things are out of her control, she's prepared to make peace with the Duke of Aquitaine, and we've become something she doesn't need. We have to do something now, or we'll fail again."
Emes was against giving the throne to Marina. Although she was also a member of the Landsberg family, Emes was more optimistic about Fantine. Given the current situation, Emes was obviously more radical. After some thought, Emes said again, "We'll start another coup now and control Marina."
"Hmm …" Fantine was a little hesitant. After all, Marina was her last relative. Although she was deceived by her again, Fantine still felt …
"Now isn't the time to hesitate." At Emes' age, he could tell what Fantine was thinking just by looking at her expression. "You're not an ordinary person. Born into this family, you have to lose some of the feelings of an ordinary person … Don't hesitate. Think about what the late emperor said to you before he died."
Yes, the former emperor Rein died in front of Fantine. The situation was still vivid in Fantine's mind. Thinking of this, Fantine made up her mind. "You're right, Emes … Alright, since that's the case, let's beat her at her own game. Since Big Sister can control Anthony, then we'll use this method to control Big Sister … Emes, let's do it now."
"Mhm." Ames nodded as well.
That night, Li Huailin received a letter from the human palace signed by Anthony. The letter rejected Li Huailin's proposal to submit and even reprimanded Li Huailin. To be honest, it was Li Huailin who didn't understand what was going on.
