It was the morning of the next day. Li Huailin arrived at a city called Morikefei. It was a city not far to the west of Blessed City. Li Huailin came here because his cavalry had just arrived.
"Boss Li, I really have something to do here. I'll come as soon as I'm done." Li Jianyi called Li Huailin early in the morning to remind Li Huailin not to forget about today's match. Today was still Li Huailin's S-rank professional match day. Moreover, today's match was more important because it was against Heaven's Separation.
The match was still in the morning. Li Huailin had a total of three matches today, two in the morning and one in the afternoon. Li Huailin estimated that he would not be able to make it in time for the first two matches. However, the match against Heaven's Separation was in the afternoon, so he should still be able to make it. As long as he dealt with the 40,000 rebels before noon, he should be able to go back and participate in the match.
"Huailin, you really can't miss today's match. The match is too important. GVS and the organizers are giving me a lot of pressure," Li Jianyi said. The match between Heaven's Separation and Li Huailin was basically the most important match in the round-robin tournament. All the tickets had been sold, and the audience was waiting. If Li Huailin did not show up, everyone would be under a lot of pressure.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Li Huailin nodded. "I'll be back before noon."
After hanging up, Li Huailin looked at the Knights around him. This battle was more important, so all seven of Li Huailin's Knights were present. They were waiting for Li Huailin's orders.
"Legg, how are the troops?" Li Huailin asked.
"My lord, the troops are a little tired after traveling overnight. However, the troops have been resting well for the past few days. I don't think there's much to worry about in terms of combat power, but …" Legg seemed to want to say something but did not dare to say it.
"Say it, but what?" Li Huailin asked.
"My Lord, although our current position is at the rear of the rebel army, and a sudden attack may surprise the rebel army, they have 40,000 people after all, and we only have 4,000 troops on our side. I think if we cooperate with the Royal Guards in the main city, we still have a chance, but you just said that it's only our troops, I'm afraid …" Although Legg did not continue, everyone understood what he meant.
"My Lord, I will fight to the death. I will not disappoint you," Bruno immediately said.
"My Lord, we are not afraid of death, but we are worried that it will affect your plan." "Yesterday, you and the ministers promised that the rebels would be defeated today. If we fail, the ministers will definitely bombard you." Delamo said.
"Why are all of you so pessimistic?" Li Huailin said, "If I say we can win, then we will definitely win. Just rush to the death later and we will win, understand?"
"Sir Lord, the rebel army has made a move." As they were speaking, the scout guard at the door came in and reported.
"How is it?" Li Huailin asked.
"The enemy has set up camp. According to the route, they should be moving towards the main city. I think they are preparing to attack the city," the scout said.
"Oh, okay, let's start moving. Slowly follow behind them and be ready to move at any time," Li Huailin said.
That morning, the rebel army finally began to move. After a night of consideration, the rebel army decided to attack the main city. Just as the rebel army moved towards the main city, Li Huailin's cavalry slowly followed behind them. The distance between the two troops was very far, basically beyond the range of ordinary reconnaissance activities. Generally speaking, they would not be discovered by the enemy.
Probably because they were worried about being ambushed, the rebel army on this side marched very carefully, but they did not encounter any troops along the way. Soon, the rebel army arrived at the main city. At this time, the main city had already received the news, and most of the troops were already gathered on the western wall. Emperor Anthony was also standing on the western wall in full armor, ready to personally organize the defense.
"Here will do." Li Huailin's troops also stopped. At this time, the 4,000 cavalry was about ten miles behind the rebel army. Once the battle started, it would probably take them more than ten minutes to rush to the battlefield. The distance was a little far, and if the enemy discovered them and organized a defense in time, they would not be able to gain any advantage. However, if they went any further, it would be too easy for them to be seen, so they could only choose to wait here.
"I'll go back first. Pay attention. When you see the signal, immediately charge into the rebel army, understand?" Li Huailin instructed the knights.
"Lord, the signal … What is it?" Legg asked.
"Ahem … I forgot to say, it's like this. In a while, if you see a very large, hard, and black thing suddenly appear in the rebel army, you can directly charge," Li Huailin said.
"Lord, what is that hard and black thing?" Legg asked. He did not have this concept at all.
"Hard and black is … Forget it, you'll know when you see it. Anyway, I don't believe that you can't see such a big thing," Li Huailin said.
"This … Yes, Sir Lord." Legg still didn't understand, but he still nodded.
After giving the instructions, Li Huailin directly returned to Morikefei, then teleported back to the main city. Then, he went to the western city wall, where Anthony should be now.
As expected, when he arrived at the city wall, most of the officials were also there. They did not want to come to such a dangerous place, but the emperor was also here, so they had no choice but to follow. Although they came, they basically hid under the city wall and watched. The ones who actually went up the city wall were basically a few generals.
"Grand Marshal!" "Grand Marshal!"
Seeing Li Huailin appear, the officials here immediately came to ask about the situation of the war, mainly to ask if Li Huailin had a way to repel the rebel army. Of course, Li Huailin did not have time to explain to them one by one. He did not have the time to do so, so he directly pushed them away and walked up the city wall.
Anthony was currently standing on the city wall in a suit of armor, looking very heroic. He was born a General and had been an Emperor for a long time, but he had not fought a battle. Now that he had this opportunity, even though there were a lot of Ministers who opposed him, he still came.
Seeing Li Huailin appear, Anthony immediately came over and asked, "How is it, Huailin? Do you have a battle plan?"
"Oh, no problem." Li Huailin nodded. "But I need your help."
"Me?" Anthony asked, feeling a little strange. "Can I help? What kind of help? Do you need me to personally lead a raid? "
"Oh, no, you can just stand here," Li Huailin said.
"I see." Anthony said a little disappointedly. He really wanted to lead a team to attack personally, but he thought that the officials would not allow it. "What kind of help do you need?"
"Help me look at the sky. If something flies over, help catch it. You are more powerful, but the others may not be able to catch it," Li Huailin said.
"What is flying over? What is it? "Anthony asked.
"Uh … probably a person." Li Huailin said. "If it flies over, detain it first. Don't kill it first. I still have use for that person."
"Uh … people can fly over? Forget it. Anyway, I always encounter strange things here. It's a small matter. If there really is one, I will catch it. No problem, "Anthony said.
"Alright, I'll leave first," Li Huailin said.
"Eh? Leave first? Where are you going? "Anthony asked curiously.
"The rebel army," Li Huailin said.
"Why are you going to the rebel army?" Anthony asked with a surprised look.
"To kill them, of course," Li Huailin said.
"You … you said you're going alone, in the midst of forty thousand rebel soldiers?" Anthony asked in surprise. "Are you really okay?"
"Is there a problem?" Li Huailin said. "By the way, don't send troops out to save me. I will definitely be fine. You basically just stay here and watch the show. Then, wait for the person to fly into the sky."
"…" Anthony was stunned for a long time. "Are you serious?"
"I can't be any more serious, okay?" Li Huailin said. "Trust me. Don't send anyone out, especially you. Don't come out."
"…" Anthony was silent for a moment, but finally nodded. "Although it sounds very wrong, you should have your own plan. I'll believe you."
"It's good that you believe me. Then, I …" Just as Li Huailin was about to move, the rebel army moved first. They did not directly attack the city. However, the rebel army on this side suddenly moved to the left and right, and suddenly carried out a wooden platform. Li Huailin looked over and saw a few familiar people suddenly walking up on the wooden platform. They were basically people he knew.
The first was the former fourth princess of the human race, Fantine. She was the person Li Huailin had saved in the previous mission. She walked first, and behind her was also an old acquaintance, the god of war, Ames. Behind them were a few generals. Li Huailin could recognize two of them. One was Romerig from the knight family, who had been taken away by Ames. The other was the person Li Huailin had been looking for for a long time. It was his class mentor, Verden.
"As expected, you're here." Li Huailin nodded. "It's been too hard to find you."
The group stood on the platform. Fantine, who was at the front, faced the direction of the crowd and suddenly shouted, "Warriors of the Empire in the main city, I am the fourth princess, Fantine von Landsbeck. Please listen to me first."
Fantine's voice was very loud, and it clearly spread to every corner of the main city. She probably used some kind of wind magic. Hearing her voice, everyone in the main city was stunned. According to the announcement made by the king, the royal family of the previous dynasty should be gone except for the eldest princess, who had become the queen. What was going on with this person who claimed to be the fourth princess?
