"Look … Isn't it solved?" Li Huailin turned to Wilham and said, "I told you to target their hobbies. Look at the effect. You have to learn more from me in the future …"
"I have no idea what happened. Why are these people's hobbies being burned to death? Who knows?" Wilham couldn't help but say.
"Sigh …" Li Huailin sighed and said earnestly, "This is called personal charm. It's my fault that I'm too charming. When people hear that I want to burn them to death, they feel like they've been blessed for ten lifetimes. Don't you think so …"
"Yes, sir!" the surrendered soldiers behind him shouted.
"If I can be burned to death by Sir, it'll be worth it even if I die now!" a soldier shouted.
"Yeah, yeah!" The people around him agreed.
"I …" Wilham was speechless. He was almost 60 years old, yet he had never seen such a situation. He felt like his worldview was ruined.
"Forget it. Let's figure out how to deal with the rest of them," Li Huailin suddenly said.
A large wave of soldiers came out to surrender, but there were still some people left. Among them were about 20 of Filmte's trusted men who weren't from the Royal Guards. Then, there were a dozen soldiers from the Royal Guards who didn't surrender, the Marquis of Filmte, King Rein, and a dozen members of the royal family who were tied up like dumplings.
"Let's go, Anthony." Li Huailin said as he walked into the palace hall. The door was no longer guarded. Filmte's men had gathered together, surrounding the captured members of the royal family in the middle. King Rein stood there alone, not making a move.
Seeing Li Huailin come in, a few members of the Royal Guards who didn't surrender looked at Li Huailin in shame. One of them said to Li Huailin, "I'm sorry, warrior. Although you've done us a great favor, the Marquis has also done us a great favor. I really don't have a choice, but I really don't want to be your enemy!"
"Sigh, what a pity," Li Huailin said with a sigh.
The soldiers were also in a difficult position. Both sides had done them a great favor, and no matter what, they had to make a move on their benefactors. This was worse than killing them. They might as well have been burned to death by Li Huailin. It would have been an honorable death for them.
Thinking of this, this group of people immediately stared fiercely at Anthony, who had just stopped Li Huailin from setting the fire. One of the soldiers shouted at Anthony, "Anthony, you bastard, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Anthony couldn't be bothered to deal with these lunatics. He pointed at Marquis Filmus and said, "You should know who won now that things have come to this."
"I didn't expect … My plan was so close to succeeding, but in the end, it was you …" Filmus said indignantly, "When did you return to the First Legion? Don't tell me you've already calculated my plan? "
"Hahahahaha …" Before Anthony could reply, the first princess, Marina, suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Filmte turned his head and asked curiously.
"I'm laughing at the fact that you've all been tricked by me. A king and a marquis were all tricked by a woman like me," Marina said with a sneer. Marina sneered, "Half a month ago, the military received news that a rebel army had appeared in the north, and they had conquered six to seven cities."
"What?!" This was the first time Filmte and King Ryan had heard of this, and they were shocked.
"Marina, you … you hid the news?" King Ryan pointed at Marina in disbelief.
"Of course. Thank you, Father, for giving me such a good position. Although I don't have much power, I can see the military report immediately. When I found out that the leader of the rebel army was Anthony, I made a decision instantly … I'm going to help him," Marina said. "So, I blocked all information about the rebel army, and the informant was secretly executed by me. As for the north, I've been sending messages to them, telling them to defend to the death and that reinforcements are on the way. In fact, there aren't any reinforcements at all."
"I see! No wonder those people … "Anthony seemed to have thought of something and said in sudden realization.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to hide it for long, but because of Fantine, you've all been distracted, and I didn't expect Anthony to act so quickly … That's great …"
"Marina! Why! Why! " Ryan said angrily, "I don't think I've mistreated you. Why did you betray me!"
"Because you don't deserve to be a king," Marina said firmly. Marina said firmly, "As a king, you should be concerned about the people, not martial arts! In your twenty-one years in power, have you ever issued an order that was for the people? "
"This …" Reyin's aura instantly weakened a little because he really only liked martial arts. He was his father's only son, and he himself was not very willing to be the king.
"You only care about practicing martial arts, and you push all the state affairs to the ministers, especially this ambitious Filmus. I told you long ago that this guy isn't a good person, but you said that I'm young and can't judge people," Marina said.
"This …" Ryan did remember. A few years ago, when Marina had just started to get involved in state affairs, she did mention this, but he scolded her. Now that he thought about it, Marina didn't seem to talk to him much.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, the three of them are all idiots! They can't beat that old fox at all, and the country will be taken by him sooner or later. If that's the case, it's better to hand it over to Anthony, "Marina said.
"Me?" Anthony looked at Marina and asked. He didn't remember that he knew anything about politics.
"Anthony, I know. Although you haven't shown it since you were young, your talent and wisdom are the real choice to be a king. No one here can compare to you," Marina said affectionately, looking at Anthony.
Seeing Marina's eyes, Anthony suddenly moved his head, and a face suddenly appeared in his mind. It was Marina's face.
"I remember you … I really do …" Anthony said immediately.
"You!" While Anthony seemed to have thought of something, Filmus suddenly flew into a rage. Indeed, he had been busy with the rebellion these days, and his main focus was to deal with Marlindolf's 2nd Division. He had really neglected the situation in the north. Speaking of which, his subordinates in the north hadn't reported to him for a long time, and he actually didn't pay attention to this matter. It was a mistake.
Then there was this hateful woman. If he knew about Anthony's situation earlier, he wouldn't be in such a situation. At least his Fourth Division wouldn't attack so rashly. If he could defend Blessed City, he could force Ryan to abdicate, and when he stabilized the throne, he could naturally deal with Anthony. But now, he hadn't even been a king for a day, and he was about to leave the stage of history. He really regretted it.
"I'll kill you!" Filmus immediately went mad. He pulled up Malina who was tied up on the ground, drew out his sword, and put it on Malina's neck.
"Wait!" Anthony yelled. Although he didn't remember his and Marina's past, he felt that she should be a very important woman to him, so he immediately raised his hand to stop him. "Filmus, let her go!"
"I lost, but I won't let you have it easy!" Filmus said crazily. "I'm going to kill all the members of the royal family!"
"Wow, that's great, we don't have to do it ourselves." Li Huailin applauded. "Can you kill the king too?"
"Wait, the woman in your hand. Let her go," Anthony said immediately. He wouldn't care about the other members of the royal family, but he really had to take care of Marina.
"I know you can't bear to leave your fiancée. She's the first one I'll kill!" Filmus said immediately.
"Filmus, as long as you let her go, I'll leave your body intact, and I can guarantee that your family will live," Anthony said immediately.
"Ugh …" Filmus suddenly hesitated. It didn't matter to him, but his daughter and son … Although Filmus rarely showed it, he really loved his family. Even if his son killed tens of thousands of people in the Fourth Army, he only reprimanded him and took him for treatment. If it were someone like Marindolf, he would have killed his son.
Hearing Anthony say that he would spare his family, Filmus hesitated for a moment, but he immediately shook his head. "I'm dead, and my family is in your hands. Even if you want to break the contract, they can't do anything about it. They're like fish on a chopping board. If you let me and my family go, I'll let Her Royal Highness go!"
"This …" Anthony hesitated. Filmus had to die. He didn't know how much power this guy had in the dark. If he let the tiger go, he might come back again in the future …
"Anthony, don't worry about me!" Marina said immediately. "You're going to be a king. The necessary sacrifice is worth it."
After saying that, Marina immediately reached for the sword in front of her. Unfortunately, Filmus had already discovered her intention and immediately pulled her back. She was also tied up and couldn't move.
"What's the use of your persuasion? I'll do it, I'll do it." Li Huailin immediately said, "Filmus, listen up. If you let go of the woman in your hands now, I promise that you'll be torn apart after you die. All the men in your family will be killed, and all the women will be prostitutes. I rarely make such promises. You have to seize the opportunity!"
