Li Huailin said so, of course, to prepare a stage for the Empress here. Yes, it was unrealistic to let the rebel army attack again. Who asked them to win so exaggeratedly? From Goulet's tone, it was obvious that the other party couldn't launch another wave of attacks. So what should they do? Li Huailin proposed a solution.
Li Huailin was very confident that the other party would accept this suggestion. After all, this was a one-month chance for them to rest. Moreover, Li Huailin had already given them a "hint". Yes, Li Huailin's hint was, of course, the arrangement of personnel. When Li Huailin said this, Kandra and Igathos were beside him. This was, of course, a hint to the other party. It was equivalent to telling them the members on their side. If the other party could handle it, they would probably make a move.
"Is what you said true?" Treismo asked in slight disbelief. Yes, in his opinion, Li Huailin's behavior was a little rash. There was no need for the other party to have a competition at all. Although he was impulsive, he knew that the current situation was not good for the rebel army. They had just lost a few main forces. If the other party took advantage of the situation to attack, it would be very bad. However, the other party actually said that they wanted to have a competition. If they won, the other party would retreat eight hundred kilometers. Eight hundred kilometers was equivalent to giving away many cities to the rebel army for free.
"Of course it's true. I, Li Huailin, mean what I say. I never take back what I say." Seeing that the other party was tempted, Li Huailin continued to confirm.
"You … can you represent the entire empire?" Treismo didn't know Li Huailin, so he asked again.
"Of course, even if the Empress was here, she wouldn't dare to say anything." Li Huailin immediately said. Yes, of course, he dared to say this. The person he was looking for was the Empress. It would be best if the Empress was nearby and listened to his words. It would be even better if the Empress jumped out and exposed him.
It was a pity that the Empress didn't jump out. Of course, the surrounding people didn't say anything. Yes, although they felt that what Li Huailin said was inappropriate, they didn't know who Li Huailin was, after all. And those who knew, such as Kandra and Igathos, didn't dare to say anything. With his strength, his words were really more powerful than the Empress'.
Naturally, Treismo also saw this situation. No one objected to Li Huailin's words, which meant that Li Huailin really had a high status. Otherwise, he would have been beheaded for saying such words. Could he be a member of the royal family? Although they didn't know, at least, Li Huailin's words were credible. After thinking for a while, Telesmo said, "Alright, I'll go back now …"
"You don't have to go back." Li Huailin waved his hand and interrupted the other party. "Send someone from your side to report back. You stay here. If no one from your side comes when the time comes, I'll use you as a sacrifice. Then, I'll launch an all-out attack and uproot all of you cowards."
"You …" Treismo pointed at Li Huailin. Although he was angry, he couldn't do anything about it. After all, he was a captive. After thinking for a while, he talked to a few people around him. It seemed like he was making arrangements.
After a while, Treismo finished talking. Soon, three people stood out. They were the people Treismo sent to report back. "The three of them will go back to report. Don't worry, my master isn't afraid of you. He will definitely come."
"Okay, let them go." Li Huailin waved his hand and said. "Go back and tell your leader and master to send as many powerful people as possible. Otherwise, it will be ugly if we lose."
The three messengers returned quickly. Li Huailin was even considerate enough to prepare transportation for them. It was a mount that looked like a warhorse. This made the other party a little surprised, but since they could escape, they didn't care too much about it. Soon, the three of them mounted their horses and began to run. Of course, they were still very cautious. When they reached the middle of the journey, the three of them directly went their separate ways. Yes, the reason why they sent three messengers back was because they were worried that others would follow them. They were worried that Li Huailin wanted to find the location of the rebel army's camp. Of course, Li Huailin didn't think so. In short, one of them quickly contacted the rebel army. Of course, the news also reached the rebel army's ears.
"What do you mean the frontline was defeated and the entire army was annihilated?" When the rebel army leader received the news, he was stunned. A few days ago, they received a report saying that they defeated the Empire's elite army, the Black Lizard Legion, and even forced them out of the city. Then, they were annihilated a few days later? Wasn't this too exaggerated? After asking about the situation in detail, the leader of the rebel army was even more confused.
From the rebel army's point of view, Li Huailin's army was indeed like a god. Their plan was very good, but everything seemed to be going according to Li Huailin's plan. In the end, they were blocked with no way out. The defeated soldiers were ambushed from all sides. They were completely annihilated.
Hearing this news, the rebel army leader panicked. They only had so many regular soldiers. Now that more than half of them were annihilated, the frontline couldn't hold on any longer. If the Empire's army took advantage of the situation and attacked them, they would be in trouble.
Then, the rebel army leader heard about the competition. Of course, he was also stunned. Yes, his first reaction was that this was a conspiracy. The other party had just annihilated their main force. There was definitely something wrong with this competition. It might be … a trap.
"I … think we can try." The person who spoke was Hevenson. Yes, he was Treismo's master. He was indeed the leader's confidant and often gave him ideas. This time, the leader naturally asked Hevenson for some ideas.
"But it might be a trap," the rebel army leader said.
"I know, but even so, I can still go and take a look," Hevenson said. Huvenson said, "Based on the current situation, the other party has already sent two Saint-grade experts to guard the barracks. This means that the other party is already on guard. They know that we have a Saint-grade expert on our side, so even if they hide it, it's useless. In the current situation, if the other party really attacks, we are at a great disadvantage. If we send Saint-rank experts to participate in the battle, the other party will be prepared. The Empire obviously has more Saint-rank experts than us, so we won't be able to turn the situation around. After all, this competition isn't a battle between Saint-rank experts. It's just a competition. If we win, the other party must retreat. If they don't retreat, our Saint-rank experts can use this as an excuse to intervene in the war. Although the Empire has many Saint-rank experts, many of them are neutral. If we have a sufficient excuse, these Saint-rank experts may not necessarily attack … "
"Mmm." The rebel leader nodded. That did make sense.
"According to my guess, the other party knows that we have Saint-rank experts on our side, but they don't know how many Saint-rank experts we have and how strong they are. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent guys like Kandra and Igathos. These two are Saint-rank experts sent by the Empire. They have to be dealt with sooner or later. Since we have to deal with them, we can take advantage of this opportunity to fight them one-on-one. If we can deal with them directly or injure them, it will reduce the pressure on us, "Hevenson said." Of course, if there really is a problem, I also have a way to retreat … "
"Oh? Master, you have a way to retreat? "the rebel army leader asked.
"Yes, even if the other party uses something like a space-sealing scroll, I still have a way to leave. So, we don't have to worry about the other party playing dirty," Hevenson said. Havenson said, "I'm determined to go because I want to meet that guy called Li Huailin. I've never heard of such a guy in the empire before, and I'm very curious about his identity. This guy might be the one who's hindering our plans, so I want to see for myself."
"I see." The rebel army leader nodded. Yes, he was also very curious about this person who suddenly appeared and seemed to have a very high status. Of course, he couldn't see for himself, so it was a good thing for Hevenson to see for himself.
"If it's really a duel, the other party will definitely send Kandra and Igathos. Although these two are Saint-rank, their strength isn't considered the top among the Saint-rank experts. They should be able to deal with them. So, if there are no accidents, we should be able to win this duel," Hevenson said. "Of course, this is under the premise that this duel isn't a trap."
"It would be great if there could really be a one-month truce," the rebel army leader said.
"Let's do it this way. Let Preston and Demetrio go with me. The others don't have to go. If it really is a trap, I can guarantee that the few of us will be able to return and rescue Telesmo," Hevenson said.
"Really?" Hearing that Hevenson could rescue his brother, the rebel army leader was delighted. Yes, he loved his brother very much, and he really wanted to rescue him. However, he hadn't said anything. After all, Hevenson was only cooperating with him. This matter might require Hevenson's life, so it wasn't appropriate to order him to do it. But now that Hevenson had suggested it himself, of course, he was very happy.
"Please don't worry. After all, he is also my disciple. I can't let him die for no reason," Hevenson said. "Then I'll go."
