However, Lin Li did not agree, and simply waved his hand. "It's just a small matter, Prince Jeremiah. You don't have to trouble yourself."
In fact, after Jeremiah said that, he was also a little nervous, not because he was afraid of being rejected, but because he was worried that Lin Li would really agree. This matter was between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom. To put it more seriously, it was a matter between the Breezy Plains and the Gilded Kingdom, and the Felan Kingdom had to step in. After all, the Breezy Plains was still the territory of the Felan Kingdom in name, and had nothing to do with the Ledin Kingdom at all. Even if Jeremiah wanted to put pressure on the Gilded Kingdom through diplomatic channels, there would be no legitimate reason at all.
Hence, after hearing Lin Li reject his proposal, Jeremiah secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but of course, he couldn't show it on the surface. Instead, he looked a little regretful.
Lin Li had naturally seen through Jeremiah's thoughts long ago, but he was just being polite, and there was nothing to be calculative about. Hence, after rejecting Jeremiah, Lin Li didn't say anything else, and simply walked out of the embassy with his many subordinates who had just returned with him.
Watching the group of people from the Tower of Dusk leave the embassy under Lin Li's lead, Jeremiah couldn't help but swallow his saliva. No matter what, he was also a Legendary-level powerhouse. Hence, he could more or less sense the strength of Lin Li's subordinates. Initially, he didn't pay special attention to them because he dared not be distracted while talking to Lin Li. At this moment, when Lin Li led them out, he sensed a little from behind, only to get a great shock.
Although Jeremiah also knew that the Legendary-realm no longer seemed so unreachable due to the magic tides that appeared in Anril. Besides, there was still a considerable difference in strength between the Legendary powerhouses that were born and those who had truly stepped into the Legendary-realm through their own efforts. However, the mana waves of the Legendary-mages of the Tower of Dusk were all steady and heavy, making Jeremiah feel as if they were powerhouses who had stepped into the Legendary-realm for many years. Hence, how could he not be shocked?
In particular, Jeremiah had seen how magical and powerful the Net Array of the Tower of Dusk was when he was in the Sky Castle. At that time, the ones who used the Net Array were just a group of Archmages, and they were already able to exert a rather terrifying power. Now that it was a group of Legendary-mages using the Magic Net Array, the effects would be unimaginable.
Apart from the team of Legendary-mages, Jeremiah was even more shocked by the Vampire servant Norfeller beside Lin Li. Although Jeremiah had not stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he was still at the peak of the Legendary-realm, after all, and he could vaguely sense the aura of the Sanctuary-realm. Hence, he soon noticed that apart from Lin Li, there was also a faint Sanctuary-realm aura coming from the vampire servant.
Although Jeremiah didn't know what level Norfeller had reached in the Sanctuary-realm, even if he had just entered the Sanctuary-realm, it was terrifying enough. Not only did the Tower of Dusk have such a demonic President, but they also had a Sanctuary-level Vampire who was a natural Assassin. An Assassin with Sanctuary-level power would probably be a terrifying existence to anyone.
Watching the figures of the people of the Tower of Dusk disappear from the gate, Jeremiah touched the nautical information in his arms, and wiped the sweat off his forehead. However, he couldn't help but gloat. It seemed that the Gilded Kingdom was going to be unlucky again this time. Of all people, they had to provoke the President of the Tower of Dusk. They really had a death wish!
Lin Li swaggered out of the door with his subordinates. Due to the fact that they were in the embassy area, they immediately attracted the attention of the representatives of the various forces. A Sanctuary powerhouse was leading a team of Legendary-mages, so it was impossible for them not to attract attention. In particular, the soldiers of the Gilded Kingdom who were in charge of guarding the embassy area were all dumbfounded.
Just as the Tower of Dusk's team flew past their heads, the doors of the embassies of various sizes also suddenly opened. First, some soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Gilded Kingdom were thrown out, followed by Claus and the other representatives of the Breezy Plains who walked out and chased after the Tower of Dusk's team.
Although the representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains did not suffer much during this period of time, they were all placed under house arrest by the Gilded Kingdom. Although the people who were guarding them were all ordinary soldiers, they did not dare to go head-on with the Gilded Kingdom when they were not sure if Lin Li could return. Hence, they had no choice but to swallow the insult and bear with it. After all, in the absence of a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li, even if they were powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm, they were not considered powerful figures in the Gilded Kingdom.
Now, Lin Li, who was rumored to have died in the cursed land, suddenly appeared with a large group of people. The people of the Breezy Plains immediately seemed to have been injected with stimulants, and the anger that they had been suppressing for the past few days erupted all at once. The soldiers guarding them couldn't stop them at all, and they were thrown out in a few moments.
After Claus and the others caught up with the Tower of Dusk's team, they initially wanted to greet Lin Li and ask him about the rumor. However, seeing that Lin Li had no intention of paying attention to them, they had no choice but to temporarily suppress their curiosity, and follow the team obediently.
Although the capital of the Gilded Kingdom was extremely large, the distance was really nothing to these people who could fly in the sky. In less than a moment, Lin Li led the huge team and landed in front of the gate of the royal guards' encampment. Before the soldiers in front of the gate could ask anything, the mages of the Tower of Dusk had already flown out with a ray of lightning, and instantly blasted the gate into ashes.
When the soldiers in front of the gate saw this, they were immediately scared out of their wits, and could no longer care about their duties. They ran towards the encampment while shouting hysterically, "Enemy attack, enemy attack! Someone come quickly, someone is attacking the gate!"
"President, should we fight our way in?" Dorick, the deputy leader of the Tower of Dusk's mages, asked Lin Li respectfully.
However, although they had blasted the gate, Lin Li waved his hand at this moment, and solemnly said, "Don't be anxious, we are reasonable people. Don't fight and kill for no reason."
Hearing Lin Li's words, Dorick did not have any special expression, and simply responded straightforwardly before going back to adjust the team of mages. After hearing Lin Li's words, the people of the Breezy Plains all had extremely strange expressions. In the past few years, there had been many forces in the Breezy Plains that had been destroyed because they had infringed on the interests of the Tower of Dusk. Not long ago, the Fifth Fleet of the Gilded Kingdom was almost destroyed because The Star had been detained. Now, Lin Li actually said that he was a reasonable person, and that they should not fight and kill for no reason. That was really hard for them to get used to.
Lin Li and the others did not wait in front of the gate for long. Soon, the sound of hurried and dense footsteps could be heard from inside the gate. Next, teams of fully-armed warriors surged out of the gate like a tide, and surrounded the Tower of Dusk's team in the blink of an eye.
Faced with this situation, Lin Li did not react at all, and continued to wait there leisurely. As for the other members of the Tower of Dusk's team, their eyes were also full of disdain when they looked at the surrounding warriors. The warriors of the Gilded Kingdom should be considered elites, but that was only in the eyes of ordinary people. Their strength was at most around level-10, and any mage of the Tower of Dusk would be able to destroy them with a wave of his hand.
The warriors of the Gilded Kingdom were not foolish enough to attack the people of the Tower of Dusk, either. Although it was impossible for them to sense the level of existence of this group of people with their strength, a little bit of pressure from a Legendary powerhouse was enough to make their legs tremble.
Just when the two sides seemed to be in a stalemate, the sound of footsteps came from the gate again. At the same time, a very arrogant voice cursed loudly, "Bastards, are those bastards of the Breezy Plains tired of living? I'd like to see who gave them the guts to smash the gate of the royal guards! "
The people of the Breezy Plains had been in the Gilded Kingdom for a long time, and the royal guards naturally recognized them. On the other hand, although Lin Li had received such a grand reception from the Gilded Kingdom previously, and even destroyed the Fifth Fleet of the Gilded Kingdom with great fanfare, no one recognized him because he had been away for a long time.
Hearing the curses coming from afar, the faces of the representatives of the forces of the Breezy Plains immediately turned rather sullen. Although they seemed to be very respected by the Gilded Kingdom when they first came with Lin Li, it was mainly because Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse. When Lin Li really left for the cursed land, they immediately felt what reality was, and the Gilded Kingdom's attitude towards them could be said to have taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Although they were all overlords of the Breezy Plains, they were nothing in the eyes of the Gilded Kingdom. What was so great about a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary realm? The Gilded Kingdom had a high priest of the Sanctuary-realm, and there were also many Legendary-level generals in the Gilded Kingdom. This did not include the strength of the Illuminati, so how could the people of the Breezy Plains compare to them?
With the sound of footsteps and curses, a few figures finally walked out of the gate of the royal guards quickly, and the person who kept cursing the people of the Breezy Plains was High Priest Poer's son, Delano.
However, when Delano, who was still cursing furiously, stepped out of the gate of the royal guards and saw Lin Li, he felt as if his throat was being squeezed. He pointed at Lin Li with a face full of horror, and was speechless for a long time.
Beside Delano was a middle-aged general who looked rather dignified. He walked past Delano in two steps, looked at the people in front of him, and shouted angrily, "How dare you come to the camp of the royal guards to cause trouble! Do you really think the kingdom can't do anything to you people of the Breezy Plains!?"
After being reprimanded in front of them, the people of the Breezy Plains immediately felt embarrassed. Initially, they were more restrained in their attitude towards the Gilded Kingdom because they did not know if Lin Li could return. Now that Lin Li was standing beside them, the people of the Breezy Plains naturally felt more confident. No matter how arrogant the Gilded Kingdom was, they wouldn't dare to say anything even if the Fifth Fleet had been destroyed!
However, just when the people of the Breezy Plains were about to retort, Lin Li raised his hand to stop them, and calmly said, "I'm here to fetch someone."
His calm words immediately ignited the middle-aged general's anger. Not to mention who he was going to fetch, he smashed the gate as soon as he arrived. How could anyone fetch someone like that!?
"Fetch someone! Let me tell you, with me around today, you're … "In a fit of rage, the middle-aged general immediately turned to look at Lin Li, who had spoken just now. However, just like Delano, he was unable to finish his sentence, as if he was choked by the neck.
Since this middle-aged general could command the royal guards of the Gilded Kingdom, he naturally had a high status in the kingdom. Back when King Bradlor received Lin Li and the others, he was also one of the many officials who welcomed them. Hence, he was no stranger to Lin Li. After that, such a huge incident happened to the Fifth Fleet. Although the kingdom gave a different explanation to the people, with his status, he still knew the truth.
Just now, the middle-aged general only thought that the people of the Breezy Plains had come to cause trouble, and did not notice Lin Li who was standing in the middle of the crowd. Now, he realized that the person who had destroyed the Fifth Fleet had actually come to find his royal guards, and was instantly a little shocked. He didn't want his Imperial Guards to end up like the Fifth Fleet.
At this moment, Delano finally recovered from his shock. He pointed at Lin Li, and yelled, "No, that's impossible! How could you come back? Didn't you die in the cursed land!?"
"I'm really sorry that I couldn't fulfill your wish. Now, you should know why I'm here, right? Send my sailors out." Although Lin Li's tone sounded very calm, there was a hint of irrefutability in it.
Lin Li's words reminded Delano of the previous time when Lin Li seemed to have used the same tone to request for The Star to be released. After Delano rejected him, he directly sent a monster to destroy the Fifth Fleet. Thinking of the scene at that time, Delano's face immediately showed some ruthlessness, and he said with a sinister smile, "Why, do you want to turn this place into Helena Port? Come if you have the guts! But I have to remind you that this is the capital of the Gilded Kingdom, and this is the station of the royal guards! If you dare to touch anything here, it is equivalent to declaring war on the Gilded Kingdom! "
