"That God of War, Ames …" Anthony nodded after listening to Li Huailin's report. If Ames was there, Romeriger would not be able to escape. After all, the title of the God of War was well known, and it would be very difficult to catch him. "So, Rein has indeed made contact with the Third Legion that was disbanded 15 years ago … That makes sense. Now, only the Third Legion still remembers the former king."
"But I'm a little curious. After Ames left, he expressed that he 'hoped that the next time we meet will not be on the battlefield.' This means that the enemy's plan should be to use war to reclaim the throne. This is very strange. No matter how powerful the Third Division is, it's just one division. Our empire has three divisions.
"Are you saying that the Third Legion has reinforcements?" Anthony asked immediately. "Who?"
"I don't know for now, but we can start taking precautions. We have to keep an eye on the possible options and see if there are any unusual movements, "Li Huailin said.
"The first one I can think of is the elves," Anthony said. "We've fought a civil war with the Elves before. Although we did save them during the Northern War, we still have to be wary of them helping Rene. After all, when Rene was in power, he treated the Elves very well, and the Elves owed him a debt of gratitude. So, it's not impossible for the Elves to help Rene. Also, it's good for the Elves to have internal strife among themselves."
"Then there's the dwarves …" Anthony thought for a moment before continuing, "But the possibility is low because they don't interact much with humans. When Rein was on the throne, he didn't interact much with the dwarves either. Now that they're talking to us about minerals, it seems like they don't know about the rebels."
"Wilham from the First Legion and I from the Second Legion are fine. But what about Marshal Colin from the Fourth Legion? He's an old man. How does he feel about Rein and the former empire? "Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"Marshal Colin?" Anthony thought for a moment. "Colin and Rein don't have a good relationship. After all, you know that he was unemployed at home before we used him. It was Rein who removed him. But for safety's sake, I will pay attention to whether Colin is doing anything."
"There's one more thing we need to pay attention to," Li Huailin said.
"Another one? Who was it? Beast race? Demons? That shouldn't be the case. Ryan probably won't cooperate with the dark side. Otherwise, he would be a sinner of mankind, and no one would support him anymore. "Anthony said.
"I'm talking about the Vatican …" Li Huailin said.
"The Vatican?" Anthony was stunned.
"You haven't given the Vatican any face ever since you took office, and the Vatican wasn't like this during Rein's time. No matter what, the Vatican will miss Rein back then," Li Huailin said.
"Hmm, that makes sense." Anthony didn't have a good opinion of the Radiant Church to begin with. Even if they were to cooperate with Rein, Anthony wouldn't be surprised. "We have to pay attention to this. I'll immediately send people to keep an eye on them."
"After this unsuccessful attempt to alert them, Ryan's side should know that we've already discovered them, so all of their actions should be even more secretive. It might be very difficult to discover them." Li Huailin said.
"Hmm, I hope there's some news from Edra," Anthony said. Anthony said. Now, Eddra was still interrogating these people, but the other three seemed to be foot soldiers, so they might not know much. However, the owner of this bar, Bissis, should be a big fish. Eddra was talking to the owner, but so far, the other party was very stubborn and didn't say anything. Eddra indicated that he was prepared to use the tactic of fatigue. Basically, it was a method of not letting the opponent sleep. It was very effective. Compared to physical attacks, mental damage was obviously more effective. However, it would take a little longer. After all, a person could not sleep for two days. If it took more than two days, the person would not be able to withstand it. Bisis should always be stronger than ordinary people, so it might take a longer time. Hence, he could only wait.
"How's the Dwarves?" Li Huailin asked. Because the morning meeting had already been held this morning, Li Huailin thought that Anthony was still in the meeting when he came back. He didn't expect the morning meeting to be over. It was much shorter than expected.
"As we discussed before, I temporarily sent them away. I proposed the condition of 20,000 tons of pig iron per year. It seems that it directly scared the other party. Of course, the other party couldn't accept it, and I also rejected the offer of 2,000 tons per year. The two sides couldn't reach an agreement, so it was temporarily delayed," Anthony said.
"I don't think Ryan's side will make a move so soon. This negotiation can't be delayed for too long. Otherwise, when Ryan's side makes a move, the Dwarves will definitely take advantage of the situation. So let's start now. Slowly transfer the First Legion to the south." Li Huailin said.
"Hmm." Anthony nodded.
The two talked about something else. Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Li Huailin remembered that he still had to go to the arena, so he said goodbye to Anthony.
Returning to his Duke's Mansion in the main city, Li Huailin let Legg and the others go back on their own. He asked them to go back to their fief and prepare for the knight's enfeoffment ceremony so that he could hold it directly when he returned. After rejecting their request to accompany him, Li Huailin walked towards the arena alone.
Li Huailin was already very familiar with the arena in the main city. He had just been here yesterday, but when Li Huailin came here today, the arena was not open. There was a sign hanging on the door that said 'under renovation'. After thinking about it, he knew that it was because Dramo and Bruno made too much noise yesterday that the arena could not be opened now.
"It can't be used …" Li Huailin thought about it. He guessed that Li Jianyi did not know about this, so he prepared to make a long-distance call to Li Jianyi to tell him that the arena could not be used for the time being and that it would be better to talk about it another time.
Just as he was about to open the system page, Li Huailin was suddenly patted from behind. The other party's pat was very light, just a light touch on Li Huailin's shoulder.
Li Huailin turned his head and found two people standing behind him. Both were players, one male and one female. They were both very young, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old. The man was quite short. He was half a head shorter than Li Huailin, who was 178cm. He was probably around 165cm. He looked a little delicate, and he looked like a weak little boy. The female was not bad looking. She had a dignified appearance and gave off a cheerful vibe.
"Are you a contestant from Huaxing Entertainment?" The female player asked enthusiastically when she saw Li Huailin.
"Yes," Li Huailin nodded.
"That's great, I knew it. I don't know why the arena is closed today. I saw you at the door and guessed that you were attending a company event." The female player said, "I'm Cheng Lu, he's Jiang Xueyi. We're both new contestants from Huaxing Corporation. You should be a veteran contestant from the company, right?"
"Uh … yes … I'm Li Huailin," Li Huailin said.
"Oh, Big Brother Li!" Cheng Lu called out happily. She then looked at the closed doors of the arena and said, "I don't know why it's closed. I don't know if the S-rank contestant qualifiers will be held. I've been excited for a long time."
"You're both A-rank contestants?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. These two were young, but they were actually A-rank contestants. It was hard to tell.
"I just changed classes this year. Little Yi has been playing A-rank for a year and a half," Cheng Lu said.
Li Huailin knew that although the B-rank league was considered a part of the professional league, because many players didn't have a sponsor, the professional player community didn't consider the B-rank league as a true professional league. Only the A-rank and S-rank competitions sponsored by the 14 G league companies were considered professional competitions. Therefore, this Cheng Lu should have played the B-rank league in the past. This Jiang Xueyi had been playing the A-rank league for a year and a half, but it was hard to tell because he was really young.
"I just transferred to Huaxing this year. I was in the Ding Sheng Corporation before." Jiang Xueyi said. His voice sounded different from his appearance, because he seemed very confident. Indeed, being an 18-year-old A-rank contestant was a very good result. It was indeed something to be proud of.
"I wonder if I can get an S-rank recommendation," Cheng Lu said. "Huaxing is the champion team of last season. The contestants must be very strong. I wonder if I can get selected."
"Do you two know? I've received news that in this qualifier, the two S-rank contestants, Brother Awesome and Feng Yiliu, will also be participating," Jiang Xueyi suddenly said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin looked at this guy in surprise. In the end, this guy actually didn't realize his identity? That seemed to be the case. His in-game name was Big Chest Ruolin. The one he just introduced was his real name, Li Huailin. It was possible that he didn't know.
"Really?" Cheng Lu looked at Jiang Xueyi with the same surprise as Li Huailin. She, on the other hand, had never heard of this matter.
"Yeah, I heard that there are a few A-rank contestants who want to spar with Brother Awesome and Feng Yiliu. That's why they arranged it this way," Jiang Xueyi said.
"How can they beat them? Brother Awesome was last season's champion, and Senior Feng Yiliu was last season's third place. The two of them are so strong …" Cheng Lu said.
"Don't say that. Actually, I also want to spar with them. We're all players, so our starting point is the same. I don't think I'm any worse than them. Don't you think so, Big Brother Li?" Jiang Xueyi said as he patted Li Huailin's shoulder.
"…" Li Huailin was speechless, but he still nodded. "That makes sense. What kind of guy is Feng Yiliu? It shouldn't be a problem for me to beat him."
"Big Brother Li, you're so strong?" Cheng Lu immediately said, "What about Brother Awesome?"
"That's hard to say …" Li Huailin scratched his head. How could he fight against himself?
