Li Huailin was a little surprised when he walked into the large conference room of the Duke's Mansion. There were already many people in the conference room waiting for Li Huailin's arrival. They were clearly divided into three groups.
The first group of people Li Huailin basically knew. For example, his mentor, Sword Sage Dashe, Sword Sage Megrim, Sword Sage Komar, and others that he had a slight impression of. Yes, this group of people were members of Li Huailin's Avengers Alliance. However, this group of people rarely gathered together. Now that they were all here, it seemed that they had rushed over after hearing about this matter.
After all, the task that Li Huailin had given them was to deal with the remaining people of the Saint-tier Alliance. Now that the Saint-tier Alliance had made such a big move, the people of the Avengers Alliance must have known about it, so they came to see what was going on. Of course, they should also know that this group of people was here to surrender.
As for the other group of people, Li Huailin had never seen any of them before. He had no impression of them at all. Looking at the other group of people, it was obvious that they were high-level swordsmen and mages. Of course, based on the current situation, Li Huailin also guessed that this group of people was from the Saint-tier Alliance that he had never seen before. However, there weren't many people in this group. Li Huailin counted and found that there were only 5 people in total.
The remaining group of people was much larger. There were more than 30 people in total. Among them, there were a few people that Li Huailin had met before. Of course, the Sword Guardian emblem on their chests told Li Huailin their identities.
Li Huailin noticed that the current seating arrangement of the Sword Guardians was also arranged. The first person sitting at the front was someone that Li Huailin had seen before. It was Auter, whom he had met at the Dream Realm. Previously, Li Huailin felt that Auter's identity was quite high among the Sword Guardians. Now, it seemed that he was indeed the new leader of the Sword Guardians. After all, the previous leader of the Sword Guardians was killed by Li Huailin.
Of course, when they saw Li Huailin enter, everyone who was seated stood up and saluted Li Huailin. Although it was not a big salute, they were all Saint-tier people. In theory, no one in the entire continent could make them bow. Li Huailin was the first person to enjoy this treatment. Of course, he was not surprised by this. Instead, he felt that it was a little troublesome to deal with this group of people.
First, he had to deal with the Sword Guardians. Li Huailin looked at Auter. "So, have you finally made a decision?" Li Huailin asked.
"Will the things that Your Majesty promised be fulfilled?" Auter asked cautiously.
"Of course." To be honest, Li Huailin had already forgotten what he had promised. But it did not matter. After all, he could trick them into joining his side.
"In that case, everyone here is willing to join and establish a new Sword Guardians organization," Auter said with a nod.
"That's good. You're welcome," Li Huailin said casually. "But … is this all the Sword Guardians have? Where's Ishak? "
Indeed, Li Huailin did not see Ishak among the people present. Although Ishak was said to be gravely injured, he was still alive. Li Huailin felt that with Ishak's physique, as long as he was not dead, he should be able to be saved.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Not everyone in the Sword Guardians agreed with Your Majesty's proposal. Some refused to break away from the original Sword Alliance and chose to stick to it, while others chose to leave. Ishak chose to leave. He chose to live in seclusion … "At this point, Auter seemed a little disappointed. It was not only because of the split in the Sword Guardians, but also because he felt sorry for Ishak.
Everyone knew Issac's current situation. He was already old and frail, and only had a year left to live. As a person who had dedicated his life to protect the Divine Sword, he could only choose to retire and spend his remaining year in seclusion somewhere unknown. It was truly a pitiful sight.
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. This was not out of his expectations. "The remaining Sword Guardians are going to follow the original rules? In other words, they are going to go against me? "
"…" Auter did not answer, but he nodded lightly.
"Then, have you all come to a realization?" Li Huailin continued to ask. Although he did not say what realization it was, everyone present understood that it was the realization of going against their former companions. After all, although the two sides had separated, the things they governed were still the same, and conflict was inevitable.
"Yes." Auter nodded again, and the Sword Guardians behind him had the same expression. It was obvious that they already had this realization when they came here.
"That's good." Li Huailin said. "Just like what we said before, this organization will still consist of you. It's an independent department, and you will be in charge of establishing it. Geert, cooperate with us."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Geert nodded.
"Alright, it's your turn." Li Huailin turned to the five members of the Saint-class Alliance and frowned slightly. "Only the five of you are left?"
"Yes." The one who answered Li Huailin was a Sword Saint standing at the front. He was a human Sword Saint. Although he was a human, he looked a little strange because his skin was a little dark, and he did not look like someone from the Human Empire. After all, there were many races in the game, and this person might be one of the rarer ones. Li Huailin also paid attention to the other party's name. It was Norkov Saijit.
"The situation on our side is similar to that of the Divine Sword Guardians. When we decided to join them, there was a split on their side. Some people chose to retire, while others refused to do so," Sagit replied.
"Is that so?" Li Huailin nodded. "Then …"
Before Li Huailin could finish his sentence, the five Saint-class Sword Saints suddenly took out five boxes of the same size and placed them in front of them. They then turned to Li Huailin.
The sudden action made Geert, who was next to Li Huailin, very nervous. He did not know what the other party wanted to do. He immediately shouted, "What are you doing!"
Li Huailin didn't have any reaction. The reason was simple. Because his Avengers were sitting next to him, and they didn't have any reaction. Obviously, they knew about the box, and they should have checked it.
"Your Majesty, we have done what we should do." Saijit said as he opened the box. Inside the box was a human head. The other Saint-class Sword Saints did the same. All five of them held a box containing a human head.
"Oh? These are the heads of the Saint-class Sword Saints? "Li Huailin asked.
"Not all of them are Saint-class," Saijit replied. "However, they are all people who are against His Majesty."
Li Huailin looked at the box. Li Huailin did not recognize any of the heads in the box. However, Li Huailin understood what they meant. They were trying to prove their loyalty. Although he did not know who came up with this idea, it was indeed a very smart idea.
"So, the Saint-class Alliance no longer exists?" Li Huailin asked.
"Although there are still a few Saint-class Sword Saints, the Saint-class Alliance no longer exists," Saijit replied.
It seemed that Saijit was really decisive. The other party probably thought that their first task after joining Li Huailin's side was to deal with the Saint-class Alliance. Therefore, after thinking about it, they decided to take action. Not only did they get to prove their loyalty, but they also saved a lot of trouble in the future.
"In that case, I welcome you all to join us." Li Huailin nodded. "You will still be part of the Avengers … Your current job is to continue to encircle and eliminate the remaining Saint-class Sword Saints. I do not wish to see any disobedient Saint-class Sword Saints on this continent. Understood?"
"Yes." Not only did Saijit and the others answer, but the other members of the Avengers also answered.
"The meeting is over. Dismissed." Li Huailin waved his hand and walked out of the conference room.
"Your Majesty, now there is no organization on this continent that can fight against us. We are now the true rulers of this continent," Geert said happily as he caught up with Xiaya.
"Isn't that so?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "It's just that these people can't see the situation clearly."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Geert nodded in response.
"Is there anything else?" Li Huailin asked.
"Huh?" Geert was slightly stunned. This was the first time Li Huailin had taken the initiative to ask if there was anything else. Under normal circumstances, Li Huailin would just leave after finishing his work. This sudden request caught Geert off guard.
Of course, Li Huailin was really free. That was why he took the time to check on the situation in the Duke's mansion. However, now that he looked around, he realized that there weren't many things that he needed to manage. This was because the cabinet had evolved to deal with any possible problems when Li Huailin wasn't around all year round. It could be said that he was forced to do so. If it weren't for this kind of cabinet, the government would have long been paralyzed.
It was really hard to find something to do. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Huailin to receive a long-distance call from Night Flight. Of course, it was the news that Li Huailin had been waiting for.
"The Druids have figured out the source of these pollutants. They are currently preparing to set off to the target location. The dungeon will be open soon," Night Flight said.
"Alright, wait a moment. I'm coming," Li Huailin said.
