Linton could clearly feel that Wigley's face turned darker. He instantly understood what Linton meant by saying this. He must have been so angry that he was about to explode. But Wigley didn't do it in the end.
What to say, the reason is very simple. If it were a minister under him, he would have cursed him long ago, but Linton is not. He is a saint, not Wigley's subordinate, although the two have a son-in-law relationship.
, but this is a private relationship, and obviously it is not appropriate to talk about this during Congress.
Of course, Wigley also stared at Linton. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was to shut up Linton. Linton realized it, and he didn't say anything in the subsequent meeting. Wigley also made quick arrangements.
After learning about the war, Linton also listened briefly.
As I said before, the border between the two countries is always guarded by large armies. The Holy Empire of Yilan has about 70,000 troops stationed there all year round. Originally, it should be enough for defense alone, but this time the two sides faced each other.
The Madrama Empire's invading troops may number more than 200,000. Considering that the combat capabilities of the orcs are already superior to those of the human troops, reinforcements have to be sent to support such an invasion.
Wigley's arrangement is like this. The empire sends 50,000 troops, and the lords under his command add up to 30,000 troops. A total of 80,000 reinforcements go to the border. In this way, the number of troops on the border reaches 150,000, which should be enough for the defensive side.
Of course, Wigley is not only thinking about defense. Although he may only be able to defend in the early stage, he does not want to keep this scourge any longer. He will increase troops later depending on the situation. It is best to fight back.
In short, this is also a temporary strategy. The empire really can't send out too many troops at the moment, because their enemies are not just the Madrama Empire. There are so many other enemies staring at them that it is impossible to mobilize all the troops.
On the battlefield to the south, it is already very good to be able to send 80,000 troops.
Soon all the instructions were completed, and Wigley dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand. All the generals went to the military camp to wait for orders, while the civilian officials began to prepare for war logistics, and the lords returned to their own territories to gather the troops.
Wigley also waved slightly to Linton and Garsain. Yes, there are some things that cannot be discussed in Congress, but after the Congress is over, they can still be discussed in private.
"Father-in-law, please believe me, I really want to marry your daughter, but something really delayed me this time." Linton quickly admitted his mistake.
"What is it? Don't tell me it's about saving the world or something." Wigley said.
It's really about saving the world, but it's not this world. Of course, Linton couldn't say it directly.
"If something unexpected hadn't happened this time, how would you have ended this matter?" Wigley yelled.
"Uh... Anyway, it's my fault, my fault. In this way, no matter what happens this time, I won't leave. I will just wait for the war to end and hold the wedding immediately." Linton said.
Although Linton's attitude towards admitting his mistake was good, Wigley was still so angry that he couldn't calm down. Of course, his anger was partly due to Linton, and partly because of the Madrama Empire.
"Your Majesty, the Meloway family is willing to provide a military expenditure of 20,000 gold to help the empire fight against the invasion of these barbaric orcs." Garsain next to him suddenly said.
"Huh?" Wigley was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "25,000 gold."
"Understood, Your Majesty." Garsain nodded directly in agreement.
It is obvious that this money is the apology money. Although it seems a bit realistic, it is undoubtedly the best solution. Yes, this matter was indeed done unkindly by Linton, but something happened that caused the wedding
It can be explained that it didn't go ahead. After all, it was a war. And Wigley didn't want to cancel the wedding. He said before that the wedding was beneficial to both parties. So what should we do now? Just fall out? Of course Wigley
He didn't want to, but it was obviously impossible to let him go like this, so what Garsain meant was that the Meloway family would apologize, and Wigley could also take the opportunity to come down the slope and accept the money.
Things will pass naturally.
"Go back and reorganize the army, don't miss the time." Wigley said. Yes, the troops of the Mellow family will be on the battlefield within fifteen days. If they don't arrive, they will be dealt with by military law. Wigley also reminded
Let’s go to Garserne. But there should be no problem within fifteen days. It’s not that urgent.
After speaking to Garsain, he looked directly at Linton: "Don't go anywhere for me, stay in the city and wait for the wedding."
"This...isn't it? Last time, humans and beasts fought for a whole year. It's impossible to hold a wedding during the war. If the fight lasts another year and a half this time, I will be under house arrest for several years.
?" Linton said.
During the war, it was not said that marriage was not allowed, but Yalan was an imperial princess, which was obviously different from ordinary people. The soldiers on the front line were working hard, and the imperial princess held a wedding banquet in the rear. Is it okay? Wigley himself felt that it was inappropriate and was placed under house arrest.
How many years does it take for a saint-level person to do this? It seems that this is not something that humans do, and it cannot be justified. But in the case of Linton, what if you don’t know where he went?
"How about I make the war end faster?" Linton asked, "Destroy the Orcs within one month..."
"Wait a minute, don't mess around." Wigley here said quickly. Yes, this war has little to do with Linton. Not only is it not big, he can't just go to the battlefield. Saint-level ones are nuclear weapons.
Most of the time is not used for actual use. Nuclear deterrence is the key point. If it is really used, it has reached the level of annihilation of the country and the annihilation of the nation. Wigley does not think this war is of that level. Once Lin
Suddenly took action, triggering a holy war, and the losses were not just from the invasion of 200,000 orcs.
"Then I really want to get married soon." Linton said.
"Then why didn't you show up yesterday?"
"So it's said that it was really caused by force majeure..." Linton said, spreading his hands.
Wigley really believed it, because Linton was indeed honest this time. He thought for a while: "Anyway, let's see how the war goes in the future."
Marriage is certainly very important, but if something unexpected happens now, we can only put national affairs first. The current war with the orcs is the top priority, and it is impossible to affect the deployment of the war just because you want to get married in a hurry. Weige
Lee didn't insist on letting Linton stay in the city, but he still warned: "Remember, there will be no next time."
The words were rude, but it showed that he had indeed forgiven Linton this time. Linton nodded seriously this time, yes, he was really planning to get married first this time, and he was not planning to leave before getting married.
plane. Anyway, he is not so anxious now. The two tasks in hand are promotion tasks, so there is no need to leave. He can also see if he can get any construction-type tasks recently. In short, exploration-type tasks
If you don't accept the task for the time being, it will be over.
However, Linton really can't wait for a year and a half, so it is necessary to speed up the process of the war. As Linton said, it is best to end it within a month, and then the war celebration banquet will be held together with his own
Having the wedding together is the best way.
Of course, he had to take action, but he couldn't do it directly. Although he was not afraid of those saints, if a holy war started, it would not be a matter of his own life and death. He still needed to find a more reliable method.
Secondly, Linton certainly couldn't stop in terms of promoting the mission. Although he had decided not to go to other dimensions for the time being, the mission was still carried out as usual. In order to improve the plan, Linton also inquired about the specific details from Gasan.
The situation is mainly about the orcs.
At this time, the two of them had returned to the territory of the Meloway family. Garsain immediately announced the emperor's order and began to gather the troops. When the people below started to get busy, he happened to have a little chat with Linton.
"I really won't leave this time. Do you think I'll report it to you once a day before the wedding?" Linton said.
"Really?" Garsain looked at Linton. Considering the other party's bad record, he still didn't believe it immediately.
"Really." Linton said quickly, and then changed the subject instantly, "Is 25,000 gold a lot for us?"
"It's not much." Gaseon said. After all, their family now has a gold mine. Other families may really suffer, but the Meloway family is now extremely rich, and everyone in the country knows it.
Garsain briefly explained the situation. First of all, their gold mine is still operating, and a steady stream of gold is being sent to their family. And recently, haven't they integrated the resources of the Narcisse family, and the Narcisse family also knows that their current
In this situation, the whole family has been packed up, and life and death are in the hands of the Meloway family. Of course, they cooperate obediently, so the family is indeed in a period of rapid development now, and money and other things are not a trivial matter.
"Tell me carefully about the situation on the Orc side." Since the money matter was a trivial matter, Linton didn't ask any more questions, but asked other questions.
"You don't really want to interfere, really don't," Garsain said.
"Don't worry, I know the situation and won't cause trouble." Linton said, "One and a half years is indeed too long. I will try to shorten the time. Isn't this a rush to get married? Don't worry, no matter what, I will
I will never show up directly."
Gasein nodded slightly, and still believed Linton. After all, Linton had never dug any holes in the family before. The only unreliable thing at present was that he always disappeared suddenly. So Gasein gave Linton a simple
Introduced the situation on the orc side.
