Of course, the letter couldn't have been written by Anthony as he was still locked up, so it could only have been written by Marina. Li Huailin thought so, but the problem was why Marina didn't accept his solution. Wasn't it better for everyone to borrow the donkey to go down the slope? He didn't know why Marina rejected it.
"Are the troops of the 4th Corps still moving toward our fief?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, according to the previous intelligence, they are still moving toward us." Bord, the newly appointed military director, immediately reported to Li Huailin. "This is the intelligence from an hour ago. The next one will probably arrive in an hour."
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded slightly. It seemed that the 4th corps hadn't received the order to retreat yet. Indeed, there were only 4000 troops in his fief and the nearest reinforcement troops wouldn't be able to arrive in a short time. Could it be that Marlina was going to take him away while he wasn't in a stable footing? But what good would this do to her? It was obviously a losing deal.
If the 4th Corps attacked Li Huailin like this, as long as Li Huailin sent his troops to hold them off for a while, the reinforcements would naturally arrive. If they failed to take down the fief, Marina would definitely be in big trouble. Even if they succeeded in taking down the fief, wouldn't it give the other races an excuse to attack them? After all, they had recognized Li Huailin as their boss. If they attacked Li Huailin, of course they would have a reason to attack them. It didn't matter if they won or not, they were going to be attacked anyway. Why would they attack them?
"Hmm … why? Are they afraid that I won't give the throne to Anthony? It can't be … "Li Huailin couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
"Your Majesty." Bord also officially changed the way he addressed him and no longer called him 'Lord'. "May I ask how we should deal with this? The Undead's garrison in the Demon Territory has already sent us a notice requesting for reinforcements. It is estimated that the reinforcements will arrive in three days. May I ask how we should respond? Also, the Elves have requested to send reinforcements … "
"Wait, I'm not worried about the 4th Corps at all," Li Huailin said. "I'm just curious about what Marina is up to."
Yes, Li Huailin wasn't worried at all. Although there were nearly 100,000 soldiers rushing towards his fief, Li Huailin didn't think that they would be annihilated. He just needed to fly above this group of people and shoot them with his laser beam for 10 minutes. Li Huailin felt that there was no point in fighting them. If Li Huailin wanted to annihilate them, he could just fly out and destroy them. But even if he destroyed them, it would be useless. What he needed to do now was to get Anthony out and find the artifact. What was the point of destroying the 4th Legion?
Li Huailin thought for a moment, then said to Gehrt, "Send another letter to the humans. Tell them that as long as they're willing to obey me today, I can guarantee that everything will go on as usual. Also, tell them that I'm going to make Anthony the human emperor anyway."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll draft the letter right away," Geert immediately replied.
"Also, tell the reinforcements to stay put for now," Li Huailin turned to Bord and said. "We don't need them here."
"Yes, I'll reply to them right away," Bord nodded.
The current situation was starting to annoy Li Huailin. After all, the sudden announcement of such a big event, followed by chaos, the entire Duke's Mansion was in a complete mess. Fortunately, there were so many Empire's ministers who came to seek refuge, so they could handle a lot of work. In any case, they were more than happy to help Li Huailin with his work. Under such circumstances, Li Huailin had been busy for the whole day. Most importantly, the problem he wanted to solve still hadn't been solved. What was Malina doing? Li Huailin really wanted to kill her.
After waiting for another hour or so, the humans quickly replied. In the end, they still rejected Li Huailin's request, and still refused to obey Li Huailin. Then, they wrote a bunch of official words to criticize Li Huailin. Li Huailin really didn't understand. Didn't they already say that Anthony would be the emperor? This was a public document, which meant that he had made the promise. There was no way he could go back on his word. Otherwise, how would he play in the future if he went back on his word right after becoming the emperor?
"I really don't understand what's going on." Li Huailin shook his head. What was going on with Malina? What was she trying to do? Was she trying to fight him to the death? What was in it for her? Wasn't she forcing herself to stand against the entire continent? Did she want to bring the humans to their deaths?
However, just as Li Huailin expressed that he didn't understand what was going on, Li Huailin suddenly received another document. He seemed to have suddenly understood something.
This document was also from the Human race. However, this document wasn't sent by Malina, but by the former royal family, Fonseline. Li Huailin immediately took a look at it. The general meaning of the document was that the current royal family, which was the Murat Royal Family, didn't give him any face as the Emperor of the Continent. It was completely suicidal. However, the former royal family was very supportive of him becoming the Emperor of the Continent. They were willing to obey him. Therefore, in this situation, why don't you confer me the title of Emperor and confirm my legal status as the Emperor? Then, I will launch a coup. After I obtain the throne, the humans will also submit to me.
Of course, the wording of the document was very strict. However, that was all Li Huailin could understand. After reading it for a while, Li Huailin understood. He reckoned that Fonseline had probably received news that Malina wasn't going to obey him. Thus, she decided to side with him. She wanted him to recognize her legal status as the Emperor. Then, she could use this status to overthrow the current royal family.
This was a good plan. If Li Huailin really wanted to be the emperor of the continent, he would probably agree to this proposal given that the Human Race was in a stalemate. After all, if he succeeded, Li Huailin would be considered to have unified the six major races. It was a pity that Li Huailin really didn't want to be the Emperor of the Continent. This was just a convenience. What he really needed was to get Anthony out to find the secret treasure. Therefore, how could he let Anthony be the Emperor? After all, if he became the Emperor, he would, of course, kill Anthony and Malina. Didn't this make Li Huailin cry?
"This is so f * cking troublesome." Li Huailin said unhappily. Right now, the only person he had to deal with was Malina. However, he didn't know why Malina had gone crazy. After thinking for a while, Li Huailin slammed the table and began to act.
"Bord!" Li Huailin shouted.
"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as the door opened, Bord immediately walked in and bowed.
"Send a document immediately … Forget it, send a f * cking document. Go directly to the 4th Division and find their Marshal Kerwin. Tell him to surrender within an hour and come to me personally to apologize. I'm f * cking angry. If he doesn't come, he'll have to bear the consequences," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." Bord didn't say anything at all. Hearing that Li Huailin was angry, he was also afraid. He didn't care whether it was dangerous to go to the 4th Division or not. He directly accepted the order and left.
It didn't take him an hour. About 20 minutes later, Bord appeared in front of the 4th Division. The 4th Division wasn't marching now. Yes, they had already set up camp. It wasn't just because it was late at night, which made it more difficult to march. The main reason was that Marshal Kerwin kept receiving all kinds of news, and he was a little confused.
Kerwin, who had received the transfer order, felt a little strange. The 1st Division was supposed to defend the vicinity of the main city. Why was it changed to him? It didn't make sense. Before he reached the encampment, he immediately received the news that the Duke of Aquitaine had assassinated the Emperor. Then, the Emperor (Marina had used Anthony's order) ordered him to attack the Duke of Aquitaine's Lancaster Duchy. He was also a little reluctant. Who would want to start a war with Li Huailin? However, military orders must be obeyed. Kerwin had to start the broadcast first.
Halfway through the journey, the situation became even more complicated. Officials ran to Li Huailin's side, and then Li Huailin announced that he would become the Emperor of the Continent. Then, all kinds of forces chose to submit to him. Kerwin was shocked by the news. What was going on? Kerwin felt that he had fallen into a huge pit, and he didn't know what was going on. There was no order from the main city to stop them. This … Kerwin could only continue marching. However, he actually didn't want to leave, so he wanted to dawdle. He wanted to walk slowly, slowly, just to observe the situation. It would be best if the Human race also submitted to him.
But until night time, he still hadn't received any news that the Human race had agreed to submit. Instead, he waited for the people sent by Li Huailin. Of course, Kerwin knew that both sides were now enemies. However, he really didn't dare to not meet the other party's people. Now, Li Huailin's power was too great. He was really a little afraid.
"His Majesty said that he will give you half an hour to immediately betray the Human Empire and join the Continent's army." Bord raised his head and said arrogantly. Now, he had the right to speak like this. In the past, he was just a subordinate of a Duke, and the opposite Kerwin was a Marquis. But now, he was a direct subordinate of the Continent's Emperor. He was absolutely powerful. "You also know that the First and Second Legions have already done this. Is the Fourth Legion going to become the enemy of the entire Continent? Marshal Kerwin, our Emperor isn't a kind person. If he really gets angry, I don't know what will happen. "
This really made Kerwin worried. He was really worried that Li Huailin would get angry and act recklessly. After thinking about it …
Ten minutes later, another shocking news spread. The Fourth Legion of the Human Empire that was marching towards Lancaster Duchy suddenly surrendered to the enemy. Now, it had become the Continent's Emperor's army. Now, the Fourth Legion was advancing towards the main city of the Human race.
