"What?" Li Huailin was stunned. "McCann was put in prison? Why? What did this guy do? "
"Marshal, didn't you ask him to offer his head? As a result, the ministers were enraged and asked His Royal Highness to punish Deputy Marshal McCann. As a result, His Royal Highness put him in prison first," Legg replied.
"Eh? That's impossible, aren't the ministers … Wait a minute … "Li Huailin suddenly realized that the ministers had a good impression of him, not Maccon. If he had offered his head, it would have been fine. But it was different if Maccon did it. His good impression of Maccon would not be reversed. Li Huailin had actually forgotten about this at that time." Oh, I see. F * ck, I didn't think of this before. Now what? Is Anthony going to kill him? "
"His Royal Highness didn't say anything. He just locked him up first. The final judgment hasn't been made yet," Oliveira said.
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. It was Anthony who asked him to do this, so it was impossible for him to kill Michael directly. Otherwise, how could he explain it to Li Huailin? Maybe Anthony was waiting for Li Huailin to find him and think about how to solve this problem.
"Marshal, oh, no, Lord, what should we do now?" Legg was used to calling him Marshal in the barracks. Now that he suddenly remembered that this was his territory, he should still call him Lord or Duke, so he immediately changed it.
"Well … no hurry. Anyway, he didn't say that he was going to cut him down, so don't worry. There is still something important to do now. Everyone, go to the meeting room first," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Lord!" The four of them said together, then walked toward the Duke's Mansion. On the other side, Li Huailin also walked in with Nemoya.
On the way to the meeting room, Legg suddenly walked a little slower, then walked to Li Huailin's side, slightly pulled on Li Huailin's clothes, indicating that he had something to say. Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, but he slowed down a little and asked Legg what was going on.
"Marshal, what's the background of this woman you brought back? I … I always feel that she's a little strange, as if she's possessed by something. Marshal, you have to be careful, I'm afraid she'll harm you." Legg whispered to Li Huailin.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was surprised. This was indeed Kassanna who had been possessed by Nememoya. However, it was too easy to tell. She hadn't said anything yet, nor had she done anything strange. How could she tell? Was it because Legg's level was higher?
Thinking of this, Li Huailin asked, "You can tell? How did you know? "
"I don't know, but it feels a little strange," Legg said uncertainly.
"Oh … in that case, go and find Bruno now," Li Huailin said.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Legg thought that it was Li Huailin who wanted to kill this woman, so he went to find Bruno, who was the best at fighting, and immediately went in a hurry.
Soon, they walked into the conference room. They first went to find their assistants to take notes of the meeting. Legg was called to work by Li Huailin halfway, and everyone knew that, so they were waiting for Legg to come back.
After a while, Legg returned with Bruno. The two stood at the door of the conference room. Just as they were about to report, Bruno suddenly noticed Nememoya standing next to Li Huailin, and his face suddenly changed.
"Marshal! Be careful! This guy is not human! " Bruno hurriedly ran in and pointed at Nememoya. At the same time, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword, ready to protect Li Huailin at any time.
The people next to him were also stunned. Not human? They looked at Nememoya a little nervously. Why does he look like a human? His eyes are not red, so he shouldn't be Demons. He doesn't seem to have any characteristics of other races.
"Oh? How can you tell? " Li Huailin mainly wanted to see if people with higher levels could see through Nememoya's identity, so he called Bruno to take a look.
"I … I'm not too sure either. Anyway, I can see that she should be controlled by something strange. Maybe it's here to harm you. Marshal, please step aside and let me deal with it," Bruno said hurriedly. This guy disguised himself as a beauty to get close to Li Huailin. He definitely didn't have good intentions. He was afraid that Li Huailin would be in danger, so he was very anxious.
"People with higher levels than me can directly see through my identity. And if it's someone with an affinity for the light attribute, such as a priest, priest, or paladin, even if their level is lower than mine, it's possible for them to see through my identity." On the other side, Nememoya wasn't so worried. He sat next to Li Huailin and continued to explain his situation to Li Huailin.
"All in all, it's because my level is relatively low." Li Huailin nodded. "Bruno, don't be nervous. I know this guy is possessed. All of you sit down first."
"This …" Bruno thought about it and decided to listen to the marshal. He always felt that this guy who was possessed didn't seem to be on their side (because they were still enemies) and might harm the marshal. So, he sat down near Li Huailin. Originally, he couldn't sit in this position, but in order to be able to act in time, he didn't care so much.
"Okay, everyone, don't be nervous. This is Kassanna. She's now considered half one of us. She'll stay in our mansion for the time being." Li Huailin briefly introduced her. After thinking about it, it was better not to introduce her real name. After all, she was the one who disguised herself like this.
"Eh? Stay in our mansion for the time being? " Legg said. This made them a little nervous because Legg also felt that this guy didn't seem to be on their side. Furthermore, he was possessed. This wasn't a friendly guy.
"It's okay. It's decided." Anyway, everything here was decided by Li Huailin, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, report the current situation."
"Yes." Although they were a little nervous, they still nodded and began to report the situation.
"My Lord, the whole empire knows that Duke Lautner and Duke Martelli were killed. Now, everyone is paying attention to the current development of the situation. Not only within the empire, but even the Elves, Orcs, and Demons are paying attention to the development of this matter, especially the Demons who originally bordered Duke Lautner's territory. There's news that the Demons are preparing to gather their troops. If the empire is in chaos, they may take the opportunity to invade. As for the Orcs, they are still engaged in a war of attrition with the Elves. I don't think they have the time to deal with this matter for the time being," Gwenis, the foreign minister, began to report.
"The Orcs and Elves are still fighting?" Li Huailin facepalmed. This was supposed to be a war of plunder between the Orcs, but because the main force of the Elves had been destroyed, the Orcs felt that they should have a slight advantage. They wanted to force the Elves to surrender, so the plunder war had become a regular war. "Forget it, let's not care about them for now. What's Anthony's order now?"
"According to the current situation, His Highness the King's initial order is that Duke Lautner and Duke Martelli have started a war in the empire without permission. This is a blatant disregard for the laws of the empire. Both of them have been demoted to the title of Marquis. Since both of them have died in battle, their titles will be inherited by their children. Their fiefs will be taken back, but they will be given new fiefs. It's just that it won't be the size of a Duke's," Gwenis replied.
"Did he mention anything about me?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh, not at the moment," Gwenis said. It was already very strange that Li Huailin wasn't mentioned. It was a three-way war, and both sides were punished. On the other hand, Li Huailin was not punished at all. What was even more confusing was that the minister on the other side seemed to have suggested rewarding Li Huailin. It didn't make sense at all.
"The main force has been destroyed, and the fiefs that they have managed for many years have been taken back. The new fiefs that Anthony gave them will definitely be barren land. They won't have any results even if they develop it for a few decades." Li Huailin thought for a moment, then said, "So I shouldn't be forced to kill them all. I'll go look for Anthony, and this matter should be considered settled. Alright, let's talk about the next plan. Oliveira, do I still have money to fight?"
"Eh?" Oliveira was stunned. "My Lord, are we going to fight again? Didn't we just finish fighting? "
"I have no choice. I've been quite busy lately," Li Huailin said. "Do you still have money?"
"Oh." Oliveira was only surprised for a moment. They couldn't say much about the Lord's thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Because the last war ended very quickly, we basically didn't spend much. According to Minister Legg, My Lord doesn't seem to want to reward the soldiers, so we basically don't have any expenses on our side. We still have money and food for the war."
"Alright, let's not delay. We'll start tomorrow," Li Huailin said immediately.
"Eh?" Everyone was shocked. You said you'll start tomorrow? Isn't that a little too fast? And in a situation where there was no warning at all?
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked. "Is there a problem?"
"Marshal, your troops haven't returned yet," Legg replied.
"Eh?" Li Huailin was also stunned, but after thinking about it, he realized that it made sense. He had just finished fighting two Dukes at noon, and then went on a mission in the afternoon. It was only night time for him to return to the fief, and it would take two days for his troops to travel from the battlefield to the fief.
