The middle-aged general next to Delano was initially scared out of his wits, but after hearing Delano's reminder, he immediately snapped back to his senses. With a serious expression, he said confidently, "President Felic, let me introduce myself. I'm Cate Brock, the captain of the Royal Guards. Your sailors have violated the laws of the Gilded Kingdom by insulting and beating up Prince Vincent. There are witnesses, material evidence, and testimonies from the victims. They must be tried by the Gilded Kingdom. Please leave this place with these people immediately, and I won't hold you accountable for attacking the royal guards' encampment. Otherwise, I'll treat you as invaders and suppress you. "
Following Cate's words, the royal guards who had rushed out previously also stood in front of the gate. Although they were trembling slightly, they still held onto their spears tightly with the tips of their spears pointed forward, ready for battle. Of course, they might have believed Cate's words, and thought that the people of the Breezy Plains would not really take action.
"Felic, give up. Your sailors actually dared to beat up Prince Vincent. Do you know that this is a serious crime? Don't expect them to leave here alive. "Delano's expression was indescribably smug. Previously, because they didn't expect that there would be a time reversal crystal ball on The Star, they ended up suffering a loss. But this time, he did not believe that Felic would have anything to turn the tables. The person who was beaten up by the sailors was a real prince.
Upon hearing Delano's words, Lin Li shook his head slightly. He could not be bothered to talk to such a person. He directly said, "Bring them out."
"What are you talking about? Are your ears not working after coming back from the cursed land? Let me tell you, your men are dead meat! "Delano shouted arrogantly, thinking that Lin Li was talking to him.
However, Delano, Cate, and the people of the Breezy Plains did not expect that Lin Li was actually talking to his own men. After hearing Lin Li's order, the mages did not hesitate at all, and dashed towards the encampment of the royal guards. They were all Legendary-mages, and although the royal guards of the Gilded Kingdom were elites, they were no different from ants in the eyes of the Legendary-mages.
Fortunately, the mages of the Tower of Dusk were not like the Lord Devourer, Garl, who regarded human lives as worthless. Hence, although they cast magic spells to drive away the soldiers of the Gilded Kingdom, they did not go overboard and kill them. Of course, with their strength, even if they didn't kill, the soldiers wouldn't be able to bear it. A small Gas Explosion Spell blasted over a dozen soldiers, sending them flying. It was as if they were bowling pins.
In the blink of an eye, the group of soldiers in front of them was swept clean. Not a single one of them was left standing. The space was filled with the painful groans of the soldiers. Of course, the fact that they could call out meant that they were still alive. At the very least, they were much luckier than the Fifth Fleet.
Facing the approaching mages, Cate and Delano subconsciously retreated step by step. Cate yelled in shock and anger, "You, how dare you do this? You're lawless, simply lawless. Are you declaring war on the kingdom!?"
Delano was a little hysterical, and it was unknown if he was frightened or something else. He yelled like a maniac, "Felic, how dare you attack for the sake of a few sailors!? You're finished, you're bringing disaster to the Breezy Plains! Do you know that you're provoking a war!? "
However, Lin Li's expression did not change at all, and he said, "Don't waste time, go in and find them."
"Yes, Mr. President!" The mages were a little hesitant at first, but after hearing Lin Li's words, they immediately threw everything to the back of their minds, and dashed straight into the gate of the royal guards.
Although Cate was also at the peak of the Legendary-realm, he only dared to clamor in the face of a group of Legendary-mages. Seeing the mages of the Tower of Dusk rushing over, he hurriedly pulled Delano to the side, but he still refused to admit defeat. He yelled, "Alright, you've got guts. If you're so capable, you can tear this place down today. I'd like to see who's the one crying in the end!"
Originally, the mages of the Tower of Dusk just wanted to find a few sailors and bring them out. However, after hearing Cate's clamor, the mages were infuriated. As members of the Tower of Dusk, they had never been afraid of anything. Since you have such a request, we'll fulfill it!
This time, the actions of the mages of the Tower of Dusk were no longer as restrained as before. In the camp of the royal guards, dazzling magical lights flashed continuously, and the roars were heard one after another, accompanied by the sounds of buildings collapsing. They were really here to tear down the buildings. From the entrance, they could see that the buildings inside were being razed to the ground, and the view became wider and wider.
Seeing such a scene, Cate was so infuriated that he almost vomited blood. He pointed at Lin Li with a trembling finger, but could not say a word. On the one hand, he was furious, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if he said anything, it would bring a greater disaster to the royal guards. He finally understood that the people of the Tower of Dusk were not reasonable people, and did not consider the consequences of their actions at all.
On the other hand, Delano had a completely different reaction. He did not care whether the soldiers of the royal guards were dead or alive, nor did he care how much damage the royal guards would suffer. He could not wait for this matter to blow up, and it would be best if the Breezy Plains and the Gilded Kingdom fell out. In his opinion, he was definitely in the right this time, and the king would not do anything to him.
Soon, the mages of the Tower of Dusk found the sailors who were imprisoned in the cells of the royal guards. Fortunately, these sailors were actually insignificant characters, so they only suffered some superficial injuries, and no one specifically tortured them. Even if Delano hated Lin Li so much, he would not go so far as to punish these sailors like Lin Li. Anyway, according to the law, these sailors who beat up the prince would not escape death.
These sailors had the same thought as Delano, and felt that they could not escape death. They did not expect that Lin Li, who was rumored to have died in the cursed land, would actually return, and cause such a huge commotion to save them. Hence, when they saw Lin Li, they were so touched that they choked with sobs that they could not speak.
Seeing that the sailors were fine, Lin Li could not be bothered to find trouble with the royal guards. Hence, he ordered them to retreat, and prepared to bring them back to the embassy.
"Stand, stand right there!" General Cate mustered his courage and chased after them. He pointed at Lin Li and the others with a flushed face, and shouted angrily, "President Felic, you have to think this through. Are you willing to go to war with the Gilded Kingdom for these sailors?"
"Whatever." Lin Li did not even turn his head. After saying that, he brought everyone back to the embassy.
Looking at the backs of the Tower of Dusk and the people of the Breezy Plains leaving, General Cate was so angry that his body trembled. He really wanted to gather the army immediately to take them down. However, although he was angry, he was not muddle-headed. The Sanctuary powerhouse of the Tower of Dusk had even crippled the Fifth Fleet. The few people he had were not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
At this time, Delano also walked to General Cate's side with a face full of hatred. He gritted his teeth, and said, "General Cate, now you know that this group of country bumpkins do not respect the Gilded Kingdom at all. We must report this matter to His Majesty and let His Majesty know their true colors. "
"Good, it's time to let this group of damned country bumpkins know that the Gilded Kingdom does not only have a strong fleet!" Cate clenched his fists. Looking at the messy base and the groaning soldiers on the ground, the hatred in his heart was no less than Delano's. He said with hatred, "Let's see who dares to speak up for them this time!"
In fact, there had never been a unified opinion in the Gilded Kingdom on what strategy to adopt against the Breezy Plains. One side was dominated by civil officials who hoped to adopt peaceful means to develop towards the Breezy Plains. They suggested cooperating with the forces of the Breezy Plains, and gradually assimilating and annexing the forces of the Breezy Plains. The other side was dominated by military generals who felt that there was no need to go through so many twists and turns, and that they should directly send troops to the Breezy Plains to use their powerful military power to clear all obstacles and bring the Breezy Plains under the rule of the kingdom.
King Bradlor of the Gilded Kingdom was more inclined to adopt peaceful means. Hence, he invited the various forces of the Breezy Plains to attend the founding ceremony, and even welcomed Lin Li and the others with the highest standards.
However, the pro-war faction of the Gilded Kingdom had never given up on the idea of using force against the Breezy Plains. In particular, the military generals wanted to be promoted and gain glory, and the only way to obtain military merits was through war. Hence, they were naturally more enthusiastic about starting a war. In fact, after the Fifth Fleet was crippled by Lin Li, the pro-war faction seized the opportunity to hope that King Bradlor would change his mind.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, Bradlor still suppressed the voices of the pro-war faction. However, that did not mean that Bradlor was weak. He just chose the method that he thought was the most suitable for the Gilded Kingdom. If that couldn't achieve his goal, he wouldn't give up using force to solve the problem.
Although war was a violent method, and it depended on who had the bigger fist, there needed to be a justifiable reason. In particular, the Gilded Kingdom wanted to rule the Breezy Plains, and not just plunder once. Hence, they needed a reason that could be accepted by the people of the Breezy Plains. After all, although the Tower of Dusk had gone overboard with the incident with the Fifth Fleet, the Gilded Kingdom was still in the wrong.
However, this time, the sailors of the Tower of Dusk had hit Prince Vincent, and that was an undeniable fact. Besides, the Tower of Dusk had caused a huge commotion in the royal guards' encampment in the capital of the Gilded Kingdom for the sake of those sailors. Although the royal guards weren't as miserable as the Fifth Fleet, they were still humiliated. That was a blatant slap to the Gilded Kingdom's face, and trampling on the Gilded Kingdom's dignity. What could be worse than that!?
Delano and Cate quickly reached an agreement, and asked the royal guards to temporarily stop cleaning up the messy encampment. They wanted to keep all of this as evidence of the Tower of Dusk's crimes. Next, the two of them headed straight for the palace without stopping. At the same time, they arranged for some people to inform the pro-war faction.
A moment later, Delano and Cate had already arrived at the gate of the Gilded Kingdom's palace. In order to avoid appearing too deliberate, they did not wait for the pro-war faction, and instead sought to see King Bradlor first. The two of them waited in front of the palace for a while, and a palace guard went in to inform them. After a while, the guard returned and said that the king had summoned them. He then brought the two of them into the palace.
On the way to see the king, the two of them asked the guard about it, and found out that King Bradlor was having a discussion with the ministers. Moreover, the ministers who were participating in the discussion were the important figures of the pro-peace faction led by Left Minister Caron. Upon hearing this news, the two of them were not worried at all. Instead, they looked at each other and smiled, and simultaneously quickened their pace.
Ever since King Bradlor decided to adopt a peaceful approach, the ministers of the pro-peace faction could be said to be in the limelight, and almost all of them suppressed the pro-war faction. This time, Delano and Cate were confident enough to give the ministers of the pro-peace faction a slap in the face.
The moment they entered the council hall, the expressions on their faces immediately changed, and they ran into the council hall with a face full of grief and indignation. They knelt in front of King Bradlor and cried, "Your Majesty, please seek justice for us. Those people from the Breezy Plains have gone too far!"
Upon hearing this, King Bradlor, who was sitting on the throne, and Left Minister Caron and the others were immediately bewildered. Seeing that the two of them had actually lost their composure, Bradlor's face darkened, and he angrily said, "Stand up and speak. Look at the two of you. What exactly happened! Delano, didn't I tell you to stay at home and reflect on yourself? Why are you here with General Cate? "
Delano was so focused on complaining that he neglected the fact that he was still reflecting on himself. Although his father was the high priest of the kingdom, it was not to the extent where he could ignore the king's orders. After being asked by King Bradlor, he was immediately stunned, and did not know how to answer for a moment.
"Your Majesty, that President Felic of the Tower of Dusk is really too lawless. He doesn't take the Gilded Kingdom seriously at all!" Seeing that Delano was silent, Cate, the commander of the royal guards, immediately spoke up, and helped Delano out of the predicament. Besides, it was his royal guards who were unlucky this time. Hence, his tone of grief and indignation did not seem to be fake at all. It could be said that he was really sincere.
