Linton's efficiency is naturally very high. Ten days have actually passed since the First Legion rebelled, and the Imperial City here has taken almost no effective measures.
The current situation is really difficult to judge. On the one hand, Yalan lacks some decisiveness as the emperor. On the other hand, it was only after Linton returned that he adopted the actions of the third and seventh legions to resist the rebels.
Except for the 3rd and 7th legions, the other 4th, 5th, and 6th legions were required to stay at their original garrison and not take any action. Any act of leaving the garrison was regarded as an act of treason.
As soon as this order was conveyed, it was obvious that they did not trust them. The commanders of the three legions could naturally understand it, and of course they were a little angry. But after thinking about it, there was really nothing they could do. They didn't even have any self-confidence now.
means of proof.
You said that I led troops north to fight the rebels directly? Who knows if you went to join the rebels. You said that I went back to help defend the main city, but who knows if you came to help the rebels fall into the city. Indeed, it is best now
The solution is to stay where you are and prove your loyalty to the Empire by doing nothing.
Of course, another way is to return to the main city alone, commander, or simply take all the important officers back to the main city. But to be honest, even they themselves are a little afraid of this situation.
Will the sudden rebellion of the two legions make the emperor wary and distrust their expatriate legion commanders in the future? Will the legion commanders be replaced by the emperor's cronies in the future, and most of them have been guarding the border all year round?
, said that the close relationship is definitely not as close as that of the ministers and nobles in the main city to the emperor. What if they are all detained directly when they go back?
The suspicion now is not that Emperor Guang is suspicious of them, they are also suspicious of the emperor, and they are also suspicious of other colleagues. They know that they are not rebels, but others are also aware of it. This chain of suspicion has been formed, and currently they are still
I really don't dare to go back casually.
Fortunately, Linton did not force them all to go back. On the one hand, it does not require so many people to counter the rebellion. On the other hand, these people coming back now will really cause chaos. Linton does not have any loyalty test.
I don't have time to compete with these people.
"After you go over here, take a look at the situation. If these people show any hesitation, just kill everyone first." Linton was telling Garsain to pay attention to the place at this time. Linton was really not sure about the seventh one now.
Whether the legion will rebel or not, the most important thing is that the reason for the rebellion of the other party is not known.
Linton directly asked Garsain to go over and actually take a look at the situation. If the other party dared to take any action, Garsain would directly kill everyone. Then there would be no need to say that they were rebelling or anything, just that they intended to murder the Saint.
level, and then parachute Garsain to the Sixth Army to see if they are obedient. Once anything is found to be wrong, they will be destroyed directly.
"I know, I will make a careful judgment." Gasein nodded.
Although Garsain actually does not want to be the commander of the legion now, he has now entered a normal holy-level martial arts fanatic state, and has always wanted to train and continue to improve his strength. But in the face of the current severe situation, he
Still, I accepted the task immediately.
"But I can't figure it out. Why Tommen and the others suddenly launched a rebellion? It's really strange." Gaseon said. I mentioned before that Gaseon was the commander of the First Army. In fact, Tommen was his commander at the time.
Deputy, deputy commander of the legion. After Garsain resigned, Tommen officially took over as the legion commander.
So Garsain is actually very familiar with Tommen and some officers of the First Legion. Although they have not known each other for that long, and after he was promoted to the Saint level and retired, the contact between them has been severed for a long time, but
According to Gasein's knowledge, these people should be loyal people. He said that they would rebel, but Gasein still can't accept it.
"Indeed..." Yalan next to him also nodded, "The first and second legions were already formed when the Holy Empire of Yilan was established. There has been no rebellion in a hundred years, and now the two
The legions rebelled at the same time, and I really can’t figure out what this problem is all about.”
The formation time of these two legions was even earlier than the establishment of the Holy Empire of Yilan. At that time, the three major empires of mankind had not yet split, and the first and second legions were already there. Later, after the empire was divided into three, the Yilan Empire was established.
The ancestors of the Yalan family of the Lan Holy Empire simply renamed the pre-existing legions into the First and Second Legions.
For example, the subsequent legions were established one after another after the establishment of the empire, such as the fourth legion, and they were built just after Linton and the others reunified the human empire. You said that the loyalty of these new legions has not been refreshed.
Enough, they can still understand the rebellion. The first and second legions have been loyal to the royal family for hundreds of years, and they suddenly rebelled. Yalan still can't understand it.
"Although I don't know why they didn't make a request, it will be exposed sooner or later." Linton said, "Don't guess, someone will ask us. Look, this person will come."
Linton said and looked in the direction of the sky. Garsain also noticed the aura of the visitor. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, several figures fell from the sky. Those who could fly were naturally saint-level.
Four people came, and the leader of them was Linton's old acquaintance, President Toliman of the Holy Association. He had been negotiating with Linton before, so it seemed that this person had made an appointment.
Linton looked at the other three people and saw that they all had familiar faces, but he couldn't name them for the moment. Linton remembered that these people should all be saints enshrined by the Holy Empire of Elan, which meant that President Toliman should have been with him first.
This group of saints met to understand the situation before coming back. Obviously, he didn't need to explain the current situation.
"President Toliman, what do you want from me?" Although Linton knew the other party's intention, he still asked with a smile.
"It's really inappropriate for Sword Master Linton and Sword Master Garsain to serve as legion commanders." Toliman here had no intention of going around the bush and went straight to the point.
This was really not appropriate. Again, there was no such thing as a saint-level army commander before, so Garsain resigned immediately before the battle was over. However, Linton obviously knowingly committed the crime this time.
"President Toliman, the current situation in the empire is quite critical. There should be no problem with my measures." Linton said, spreading his hands.
"Linton Sword Master, this is just an ordinary counter-insurgency war, it's not going to end up as a saint." Toliman actually didn't have the confidence to speak here. After all, he is really afraid of Linton now.
If Linton really didn't give any face, he wouldn't know what to do.
The Saint-Level Association asked itself to deal with Linton, how could he do it? Several other presidents (Toliman is just one of the presidents) were still clamoring all day long about the association not being able to compromise. In fact, they themselves knew it.
Otherwise, Toliman told them to try it themselves, but no one dared to take it, saying that it was his responsibility or something.
In the current situation, they actually don't dare to be tough with Linton. In fact, everyone within the Holy Association knows this. Toliman is here to discuss it now, and the subtext is to ask Linton to give him face, at least on the surface.
Hold on. He is now worried that Linton will overturn the table.
"An ordinary counter-insurgency war? I don't think so." Linton looked at Toliman's cautious expression, and then continued, "How does President Toliman know that it is an ordinary rebellion? You should also know that the other party has absolutely no
Make any demands, right? I now seriously suspect that the first and second legions have colluded with other countries to subvert our Holy Empire of Iran. What we are encountering now is the crisis of national subjugation. In this case, what I do
Not only is there no problem, President Toliman, you should still support me."
"Support?" Toliman was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, the holy class that the empire usually enshrines should take action in such an emergency situation. After all, this is a crisis of national subjugation, so I think that this time the counterinsurgency should be solved by the holy class.
President Liman, you think so," Linton said.
"Uh..." Toliman was a little overwhelmed by Linton's words. Didn't he come to prevent Garsain from being named the commander of the army? Why did Linton suddenly leave the counter-insurgency to them?
Now that they are responsible, do they start treating them as part-time workers?
"But now I'm not sure what collusion they have with other empires." Toliman thought for a while and said.
"I'm sure... I can't be sure, but I can doubt it, and they can refute it, right?" Linton said, "It's just that I don't know what they want now. If the other party doesn't quibble, then
It shouldn’t be considered the default.”
"I'm not a person who doesn't listen. I also give the other party a chance to explain. In this way, President Toliman, why don't you help me ask about the situation? If they really collude with outsiders, you can destroy them by the way.
If not, there are other reasons, and I am willing to listen to their explanation. Do you think my method is reasonable?" Linton said, spreading his hands.
"..." Toliman was not an idiot. He understood what Linton meant in an instant. He was giving them a job. He went to ask about the situation. If the other party didn't answer, he would just kill him, and he didn't have to take action.
After answering, he had to come back and tell Linton that Linton also knew the other party's intentions. No matter what the outcome was, Linton would still benefit from it. This was really using them as tools.
But was there any way he could refuse? Due to both emotions and reasons, Linton seemed to have made it clear on the surface, and even Toliman felt that the other party had given him face.
After thinking for a while, Toliman nodded.
