"104 people have arrived one after another. They have all lived together according to your instructions," Legg immediately replied.
"Very good." Li Huailin nodded. "How about this. Take some men and arrest them. Forget it, just behead them. There's no need to arrest them."
"What?!" Legg was immediately stunned.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … My Lord, what crime should we behead them for?" Legg asked.
"No reason. Just say that I'm in a bad mood and decided to kill a few people to vent my anger. Tell the soldiers that," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"That … That works?" Legg was stunned. "My Lord, although he's not a local, he has been patiently teaching our sergeants and soldiers these days. If we suddenly behead them, I'm afraid that the soldiers will …"
"Will not. Just say it like that." Li Huailin waved his hand. "By the way, leave Bruno alive. Kill the rest. Leave no one alive."
Li Huailin had also considered it. Initially, Li Huailin wanted to keep this group of people. After all, as long as he killed a few of them, their loyalty would be full. But later on, he thought that it was wrong. Although their loyalty to him was full, their loyalty to the 3rd Division and the former king was also full. He could only control their loyalty to him, not to others. He didn't know what would happen if that happened. After thinking about it, although this group of people was a valuable asset, it wasn't that he couldn't do without them. So, he might as well kill them all.
However, Li Huailin still wanted to keep Bruno. Firstly, this guy had only been in the 3rd Division for a year before it was destroyed, so his loyalty shouldn't be as unwavering as that bunch of old guys. Secondly, Li Huailin was indebted to him for killing his father, so he probably wouldn't cause any trouble for Li Huailin. Thirdly, Li Huailin really didn't have anyone on his side who could fight. Bruno was a godly weapon with 99 points in strength, and Li Huailin could find a replacement for him in the future.
"This …" Legg didn't have any feelings for these people. He was worried that something would go wrong in the barracks, so he hesitated to advise Li Huailin not to act in such a hurry.
"Can you do it?" Li Huailin asked directly. His tone implied that if he couldn't do it well, he would be fired.
"Yes." Legg gritted his teeth. At this time, no matter what, he couldn't say that he couldn't do it, especially a hot-blooded soldier like Legg. He immediately agreed after hearing Li Huailin's words. He was very aware that if something went wrong in the end, he would never mention that it was Li Huailin's order. He would directly say that it was his own idea. "I promise to complete it."
"Then go immediately." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Gather the troops immediately after you're done and get ready to go."
"Yes, my lord." Legg nodded.
"By the way, send someone to the 2nd Division's camp and find Deputy Marshal Maccon for me. Tell him that it's my order from the Marshal. Gather here immediately through the teleportation formation." Li Huailin had already told Anthony about this matter. He wanted to borrow someone from the 2nd Division, and that person was naturally Maccon. The main thing was that Maccon was too useful. He was basically a super deputy general who could do anything. With him around, Li Huailin basically only needed to make decisions, and Maccon basically took care of everything else. To be honest, it was fun to tease this guy.
"Yes, my lord." Legg nodded. He wasn't against it. To be honest, he admired Maccon very much. Other than Li Huailin, Maccon was the general he admired the most. He also hoped that one day he could become a general like Maccon. This was also a very good opportunity to learn.
"You can go first," said Li Huailin.
Legg immediately stood up and saluted, then left the meeting room with a murderous look on his face.
"Oliveira, guarantee me the logistics." Li Huailin turned to Oliveira, who was in charge of the money, and said.
"Rest assured, my lord. We have enough resources now. There's no problem at all," Oliveira said immediately.
"Gwenis, give all the information you've collected to Maccon later." Li Huailin said again. He wasn't going to go through the huge pile of information. It was better to let Maccon organize it. Wasn't that what a deputy general was for?
"Yes, my lord," Gwenis said.
Thump, thump. As soon as Li Huailin finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of the meeting room. The Minister of the Interior, Geert, who was sitting closest to the door, asked, "Who is it? What's the matter? "
"Lord Geert, it's me, Hannett. There's an emergency. Duke Martelli suddenly came to visit and wants to see you, my lord. He's already at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion," Hannett, Geert's adjutant, reported through the door.
"My lord." Geert was originally in charge of the reception, but things were different now. Geert immediately turned to Li Huailin and asked.
"There's no need to prepare. He's in a hurry. He doesn't have time to wait for a reception. Just bring him in and bring him directly to the meeting room," said Li Huailin.
"I'll go immediately," Geert said as he stood up.
"Ceci, hide in the back." Li Huailin pointed to the room behind the meeting room and said, "Don't come out. Otherwise, you'll really be sent to get married."
"I won't go." Ceci nodded, then ran to the back and closed the door. He immediately leaned against the door to listen to the situation in the meeting room.
Soon, Geert appeared with Duke Martelli and his men. Other than him, there were three people who looked like advisors and a few guards. The guards stayed at the door of the meeting room. Duke Martelli walked in impatiently.
"Grand Duke of Aquitaine, Grand Duke of Aquitaine, something big has happened." Duke Martelli was sweating anxiously. Duke Lautner's men were still waiting for his reply in his territory. How could he not be anxious?
Li Huailin, on the other hand, looked very happy. When he saw Duke Martelli, he said in a friendly manner, "Duke Martelli, why are you here? What happened? Why do you look so anxious?"
"Something big, something big." Duke Martelli really thought that Li Huailin didn't know what was going on. He immediately said, "The girl you asked me to capture, she … she's not an ordinary person."
"Yeah, she's like a fairy." Li Huailin nodded in agreement. "If she's an ordinary person, why would I spend so much effort to capture her?"
"No, Grand Duke of Aquitaine, that's not what I meant. She … she's an Imperial Count, and she's the Castellan of Muryek City," Martelli said.
"Nani?" Li Huailin looked surprised. "Are you kidding me? How old is she? She's already the Castellan of Muryek City? Isn't she the Castellan's daughter? "
"No, Count Olibe passed away a long time ago. He didn't have a son, so the title was passed on to his daughter. She really is the Castellan. Not only that, I just found out that she's Duke Lautner's fiancée. This is big trouble," Martelli said immediately.
"What? Are you kidding me? Isn't Duke Lautner already in his fifties? He has a fiancée like that? "Li Huailin said in surprise." Are you kidding me?
"Are you kidding me? I thought I made a mistake too, but it's true. This marriage was decided by His Royal Highness a few weeks ago. I didn't know about it before. Now, Duke Lautner is furious and wants me to declare war. Duke of Aquitaine, let's hurry up and send her back," Martelli said immediately.
"Oh, this is going to be troublesome. I've already slept with her, and I just announced that she's my second wife …" Li Huailin said awkwardly.
"Nani?" Martelli wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even Geert, Oliveira, and Gwenis looked at Li Huailin in surprise. Ceci, who was eavesdropping behind the door, also blushed and spat, "Nonsense."
"This … this …" Martelli felt his body go limp as he sat down on the chair. He was done for. The other party had already slept with that girl and there was no hope for him anymore. He couldn't hand her over even if he handed her over. This … this battle had to be fought.
"That old bastard Lautner is really something. He's already in his fifties, yet he still wants such a beautiful girl. But since I've already snatched her away, do you think I can still return her?" Li Huailin said.
"Grand Duke of Aquitaine, what should we do now? Duke Lautner has already declared war on me, and I can't hand her over now. He's definitely going to attack. What should I do?" Martelli was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He immediately asked Li Huailin.
"Why are you so anxious? Don't you have an army of five thousand men? Are you sure he can defeat you? "Li Huailin said.
"My army hasn't been in a war for a few years. They can still act like a tyrant, but when it comes to a real war, they definitely won't be a match for Duke Lautner. He's a general of the empire, and his army is filled with his old subordinates. They're all people who know how to fight. His territory is also close to the border, and he often leaves the city to train with the Demons. But my fief is inland, and I don't have any chance to train my troops. If we were to fight, we definitely won't be able to win," Duke Martelli said.
This guy had some self-awareness, and Li Huailin had a similar understanding of the situation. So, Li Huailin smiled and said, "Of course you won't be able to win in a fight, but now that they're attacking your city, you can defend it."
"I've thought about that, but my city is inland. The city walls aren't thick, and I didn't expect to be in a war. Look at me, I'm already sixty years old, and I didn't expect something like this to happen. I don't even have food or supplies prepared, so I won't be able to defend for long," Duke Martelli said.
"If that's the case … then it's a little troublesome." Li Huailin nodded, but he immediately said, "Sir Martelli, don't worry. You and I are so close, how can I watch you get destroyed? Besides, I'm partly responsible for this, so I've decided to help you defend against Duke Lautner's attack as an ally!"
"Really?" Duke Martelli was overjoyed.
"Of course!" Li Huailin waved his hand righteously. "Grand Duke Martelli, let's work hard together."
"That's great! With the Grand Duke of Aquitaine's reinforcements, I'm much more at ease! "Duke Martelli said immediately.
"Don't worry, Grand Duke Martelli. Come, let me tell you about the plan," Li Huailin said as he led Martelli out the door.
"Duke Martelli is in deep trouble this time …" Oliveira couldn't help but say when he saw the two of them walking out the door.
"Yeah, I wonder how badly he'll be tricked by His Lordship," Geert nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the door at the back of the conference room opened. Ceci looked around and realized that the other party had left, so he walked out.
The three cabinet members present looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said to Ceci, "Greetings, Second Madam."
"Eh?" Ceci was stunned, then he blushed and nodded slightly. "Oh, hello to you guys. It's fine, you guys can continue with your work."
