"Is he really here to assassinate me?" Vanessa, who was standing behind Li Huailin, couldn't help but think. From the beginning, Li Huailin seemed to be very familiar with the people on the other side. Vanessa basically knew everyone on the other side. As an intelligence agent, of course, she knew that the young woman on the bed was Marlindorf's daughter, and the strong man standing on the side was Marlindorf's number one deputy, Maccon. Although the other two didn't know, they could basically guess, because Li Huailin had already told her about the princess, so they could basically guess that it was the fourth princess.
However, they were here to assassinate him. Wasn't this a little too ostentatious? If that was the case, then it was fine. But why did they say it out and give him a quick death?
"Huh? Um, Huailin, what did you say? "Veronica didn't understand what Li Huailin meant, so she stood up and asked.
"Oh … that's right …" Li Huailin was just about to repeat what he said, but suddenly there was a weak voice that interrupted Li Huailin's words.
"Wh … Vera …" Marlindorf's slightly weak voice came from the bed. Unexpectedly, Marlindorf, who hadn't woken up for two days, actually woke up at this time.
"Father!" "Marshal!"
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by Marlindorf, and they directly ignored what Li Huailin just said. Veronica immediately rushed to Marlindorf's bedside and gently helped Marlindorf up.
"Oh! This is … Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess … "Marlindolf's eyes weren't blurry yet. The first thing he saw when he woke up was Fantine, and then Ames who was beside her." Ames, my friend, you're here too … "
"I'm not your friend … I'm just working for the empire, not for you," Ames said very coldly.
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here … In that case, I'll also … cough cough … cough cough …" Marlindoff coughed for a while after saying a few words. It seemed like his body was extremely weak.
"Marshal, I didn't know you'd become like this …" Fantine also looked very sad. "Marshal, what do we do now? The person who impersonated me is still by Father's side, and it's impossible for you to lead an army now … What should we do? "
"We have to … we have to expose Filmus' conspiracy …" Marlindolf said. Then, Marlindolf suddenly saw Li Huailin. "Warrior, it's you. By the way, have you found the antidote for the Transformation Potion that I asked you to look for? If we find it, we can take action … No matter what, I will send the princess back … "
"Elvins (Marlindolph's full name is Elvins Marlindolph, though I'm afraid you've forgotten it), never mind that! Your health is more important! " Fantine said immediately. "Only you can stop Filmus now, so you have to get better!"
"Princess, I can't," Marlindolph said. "The fake princess is by His Highness' side now. Every day we delay means more danger. My life isn't that important now. What's important is His Highness's life and the fate of the entire kingdom. For this, I, Marlindolph, will stop Filmus even if I have to pay with my life."
Hearing Marlindolph's powerful speech, not only were Veronica, Maccon, and Ames in awe, but even Vanessa, who was behind Li Huailin, couldn't help but say, "Putting aside the fact that we stand on different sides, I really do admire this marshal …"
"Yes." In front of him, Li Huailin nodded in agreement. Then, he pulled out the skylark on his back and stabbed Marlindolph in the chest.
Because it was too sudden, no one, including Vanessa, could react in time. By the time they reacted, the longsword had already sunk into Marlindolph's heart. The white knife went in and the red knife came out.
"You …" Marlindolph first looked at Li Huailin in surprise, then his gaze softened. "Good kill … good kill …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Marlindolph, who was already extremely weak from the poison, couldn't take Li Huailin's 3,000 + critical hit. His head tilted to the side, and the marshal of the second army, Marlindolph, died under Li Huailin's sword. Suddenly, Li Huailin's screen was flooded with system notifications.

Battlefield Announcement: The human empire's commander has been killed. The human empire has lost this battle. All players on the battlefield have their Honor Points deducted by 10,000. Please evacuate in an orderly manner. The Demons will soon arrive.
This attack stunned everyone on the battlefield. Vanessa was the first to recover, but she couldn't help but say, "That's … too sudden! Why did you suddenly attack in the middle of a conversation? "
"Big Sis, this is an assassination. Do I have to wait for him to be ready before I attack?" Li Huailin said in a very reasonable manner.
"The problem is, you attacked me in the middle of a conversation. You even nodded in agreement when I said I admired him. Then, you suddenly stabbed me. What's going on? Even I wasn't prepared for it," Vanessa said.
"Look at my exquisite assassination skills …" Li Huailin said proudly as he raised his head.
"I don't see how it's an assassination at all. You're practically swaggering in to kill someone …" Vanessa wanted to say something, but she suddenly saw Veronica walking towards Li Huailin. Vanessa suddenly came to her senses. Not good. It's all because of Li Huailin's unconventional actions that she forgot what situation she was in. She had just killed Marlindolph in front of everyone, and now there were Marlindolph's close friends and relatives around her. This was not good.
Seeing Veronica walking towards Li Huailin, Vanessa immediately got into a battle stance, her hand already reaching for the bow behind her.
"Plop!" Just as she was about to attack, Veronica did something completely unexpected to Vanessa. She ran to Li Huailin's side and knelt down in front of Li Huailin.
"Lord Huailin! You actually killed my father. That's great! " Veronica said excitedly. "My father has been very loving to me since I was young. My mother died early, and although my father was busy with the war, he still worked hard to raise me. Now he's actually killed by you. This is great!"
"Huh?" Vanessa's hand froze. Did Veronica go crazy from the shock or something? Why did she speak so incoherently?
"Yeah … Although Elvins and I have been quarreling for more than ten years, I've always admired him in my heart. Such a great man who serves the country wholeheartedly. Even I can't do that …" Ames said emotionally. "It's really great that he can die in your hands."
"Hey, hey …" Vanessa looked at Ames calmly, only to see him looking at Li Huailin with admiration, as if the latter had done something very amazing.
"The Marshal is very grateful to me!" McCain said excitedly. "Now he's dying in your hands. How do you expect me to repay such kindness?!"
"Kindness? Hey, hey! "Vanessa was not sure if she had gone crazy or if the world had gone crazy.
"The Marshal has protected the Empire for decades and made great contributions. Now he's the only person who can foil Filmte's plot. Such a meritorious deed to the Empire was actually killed by you." Speaking of this, Fantine blushed and glanced at Li Huailin. "As expected of the warrior I took a liking to …"
"You killed my father. How do you expect me to repay such a great kindness?!" Veronica, who was on the ground, suddenly said. "This humble girl has no way to repay such a great kindness. I can only devote myself to you!"
"Hey, hey, it's getting more and more exaggerated!" Vanessa could no longer hold it in.
"Veronica, wait!" Fantine immediately said when she heard this. "With the warrior's current achievements, ordinary rewards are no longer enough. Why don't you propose marriage to Father?"
"Your Highness, you!" Hearing this, Veronica was unhappy again. She could tell that Fantine was going to steal her man. She immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, Sir Huailin killed my father. No matter what, I, the eldest daughter, should repay him."
"Veronica, not only did Huailin kill your father, but he also killed a Marshal of the Empire. Such a meritorious deed should naturally be married to the royal family to ensure his status," Fantine said immediately.
"Hmm … Your Highness has a point," Ames, who was behind Fantine, suddenly said.
"That's not right. This warrior killed our family's Marshal. I think it's right for Princess Veronica to marry him," Maccon, who was behind Fantine, said. Because he felt that Li Huailin's kindness to him was too great, he tried his best to facilitate the marriage between Li Huailin and Veronica.
Both sides started a heated discussion about who should marry Li Huailin, and no one cared about Marlindolf, who was dead on the bed.
"God of Light … What's going on …" Seeing this situation, Vanessa didn't know how to react. She could only look at both sides with her mouth wide open in shock.
"Hey, Vanessa, what are you spacing out for? Do you still have work to do?" Li Huailin suddenly said as he patted Vanessa.
"No, this, you … Huailin, why don't you find it strange at all?" Vanessa couldn't explain herself. Was she the only one in the world who found it strange?
"Who cares about them? Let them argue." Li Huailin said, "Is there something we haven't done yet? Now that Marlindolf is dead, we should let Filmus know about this. Otherwise, this guy won't make a move."
"Uh … okay …" Although Vanessa was surprised by the situation, Li Huailin was serious, so she temporarily suppressed her surprise and said calmly, "There must be Filmus' spies in the camp here. Should I release the news now?"
"Wait … I suddenly thought of an idea." Li Huailin suddenly had an idea. He then turned to the two women who were fighting for Vera's husband and said, "Vera, I suddenly have something to say. Can you gather everyone in the camp?"
"Yes, Lord Husband." Veronica nodded happily.
"You … How can you call him Lord Husband!" Fantine immediately said unhappily.
"Hmph, I'm going to work for Lord Husband. Make yourself at home, Your Highness." Veronica raised her head proudly, then turned and ran away.
