"Huh?" Linton was stunned and found that he was really anxious. Indeed, the time-limited task made him a little anxious to get points, forgetting that he had just come back.
After thinking about it, Linton also calmed down. He was anxious and couldn't mess up his position. He had been in the Marvel world for nearly two months this time, and he didn't know how much time had passed here.
Whether the war over there has started or not, don't rush to complete the mission and destroy the world here.
"The emperor is looking for me? What's the matter?" Linton asked.
"Things about the battlefield ahead," Klose said.
"Has the fight started already?" Linton asked.
"The war hasn't started yet, I'm waiting for you now," Klose said.
"Wait for me?" Linton was stunned. "Why wait for me? I'm not a marshal or something like that. Do I need to go to the front line to start the war?"
"No, it's about the challenge letter," Klose said.
"Challenge?" Linton looked really confused.
Klose also knew why Linton was confused, so he explained the situation briefly. It has been almost a month since Linton left before. At this time, all the empire's troops have been assembled and are stationed in the north. With
At the same time, the enemy's troops had also been assembled. As expected, in addition to the rebellious Duke Minotier, the Yetis Empire behind him also sent troops.
Now Duke Minotier has announced that he will join the Yetis Empire, and the other party is using this as an excuse to prevent the empire from taking back its territory. It is indeed a war between the two countries, and the troops assembled on both sides are estimated to be hundreds of thousands.
It was supposed to be a fight, but something unexpected happened at this time. A saint-level figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the battlefield. His appearance directly interrupted the war between the two countries.
As mentioned before, the Holy Level generally does not use nuclear weapons in wars. If the Holy Level really starts a war, it will be a real nuclear war. Unless it involves the subjugation of the country and the annihilation of the nation, generally
Generally speaking, each empire will be relatively restrained and not really send out saints.
Theoretically speaking, the war between the two countries was just a territorial dispute. According to the original idea, it was unlikely that the Holy Level would fight, so the other side sent out the Holy Level, which gave the emperor a headache.
Of course, there are saints on the side of the Holy Empire of Yilan. The number of saints in the two countries is almost the same. If they really want to fight a holy war, it will be like that. However, the result of this is that both sides will explode on the spot. What's the point?
What are the benefits? To be honest, the Elan Holy Empire does not want to fight a holy war with the other party.
So Emperor Wigley directly sent letters of credence to the Yetis Empire, asking if the other party was really prepared to die together, but the other emperor's answer was very treacherous. First, he spared it for a long time, saying that they did not want to fight a holy war.
, after all, if the two countries really fight a holy war, they will both suffer a devastating blow, and it will only be an advantage to other countries.
As for the current situation on the front line, the Emperor of the Yetis Empire said that it has nothing to do with him, and is just the personal behavior of this saint. According to him, the sword master named Tirante seems to have heard about the Holy Empire of Elan
A new Saint-level rookie appeared, so I privately decided to have a discussion with this rookie, so I appeared on the front line and so on.
Then this statement is obviously nonsense. Your saint appears on the front line of the war, and then you say you don’t know. Who will believe it? This should be 100% authorized by the emperor of the Yetis Empire. And the other party’s goal is very
Obviously he was referring to Linton. After all, Linton had only defeated the Saint before. Of course, everyone thought he was a Saint, but what was their purpose?
The Holy Empire of Elan is really confused about the other party's purpose. They often have discussions before the Saint level, but they never come out to talk about the discussion at this moment. Provocation? The Holy Empire of Elan is sure.
Dare to launch a holy-level war directly?
No matter what, the Tirant Sword Master on the opposite side really submitted a challenge letter, saying that he wanted to compete with Linton. But Linton disappeared again, and no one could be found at all. This challenge letter has been sent four days ago
It's time. The emperor can't deal with it because he can't find Linton, and the battle can't be fought now. The troops on both sides have been assembled, but because of the intervention of the Holy Level, if the fight starts now, it may evolve at any time.
For a holy level war or something like that.
The scene was a bit frozen. Troops on both sides had been gathering for several days. The battle hadn't started yet, so they were all in a daze on the front line, which was quite uncomfortable. The emperor had been anxiously looking for Linton for several days.
, no wonder Klose was very excited when he saw Linton.
"Fortunately, you came back today. If it had been any later, it might have been too late," Klose said after explaining.
"Why?" Linton asked.
"Because the time agreed in the opponent's challenge letter is tomorrow. According to your speed, one day should be enough to reach the battlefield, so it's just in time." Klose said.
"The time the other party agreed on?" Linton asked strangely, "Wait a minute, did he make the appointment after he knew I was away, or did he make the appointment from the beginning?"
"Uh... the challenge he sent at the beginning was to ask you to have a discussion in five days," Klose said.
"..." Linton touched his chin, "Is that so? I probably know. Do you have a map of the battlefield?"
"Battlefield map? How could I have it? His Majesty probably has it. Why do you want a map?" Klose asked.
"Then go see the emperor now." Linton said.
"Okay." Although he didn't know what Linton meant, the emperor was looking for him, so of course Klose took Linton to the palace.
The carriage came all the way to the palace. No one dared to stop Klose's carriage, and no soldiers went to check who was in the carriage. The two of them arrived at the palace. After a brief announcement, several guards also led the two of them.
When they arrived at the back hall, which was probably a meeting hall or something like that, as soon as they entered, Linton saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes.
This is a handsome man with blond hair. Although he is a bit old, he is tall and strong. It is obvious that he must have been a handsome man when he was young. He has a pair of very conspicuous sea-blue eyes with this eye color.
She looks exactly like Princess Yalan, so Yalan probably inherited this trait. There is no doubt that this handsome middle-aged man is Emperor Wigley.
Linton had seen the other party from a distance during the martial arts competition before, but at that time the other party was dressed up and was a little far away. Linton didn't take a close look at it. Now that he looked at it up close, he felt that it was different from that time.
His royal aura is much less, but he feels a bit more cordial.
"Your Majesty." Klose next to him bowed slightly and greeted.
"Hello." Linton waved his hand a little rudely, but it was not too rude. There is no such thing in this world as having to kneel three times and kowtow when you see the emperor. Besides, Linton has a saint-level status.
, nodding is considered as giving the emperor face, but not nodding is just normal.
"Mr. Sword Saint, I finally see you." Emperor Wigley said with a smile.
"Forget it about Sword Master, just call me Linton." Linton said, saying that he was obviously a mage. This was because he didn't bring out his staff on the day of the competition, and he also used Susanoo, which made everyone confused.
I thought he was a sword master who could use his golden body to fight.
Emperor Wigley was quite happy. After all, he mistakenly thought that Linton was implying that he was his junior. Because in this world, directly calling the other person's name is a very intimate behavior. For example, if someone calls Linton, it will usually
He said that he wanted to call him Mr. Meloway, Mr. Meroway, etc. Of course, Linton just thought it was convenient to call him Linton. Wigley thought that the other party regarded himself as a junior, and that was because of Princess Yalan's relationship.
Yes, of course he knew about Linton and Princess Yalan. How could he know nothing about it? Princess Yalan often mentioned Linton's name after she came back. Of course Emperor Wigley checked Linton.
Of course it was impossible for him to have any ideas before. No matter what, a princess would not be able to associate with someone who could not inherit the title of the family. She was just a baron. But after the tournament, Wigley was of course completely
Now that I have changed my mind, no matter what title Linton holds, he is a saint, and that alone is enough.
He doesn't object to Linton dating Princess Yalan now, but he doesn't know Linton's thoughts. After all, he hasn't met her in person yet. But now that he hears that the other party regards himself as a junior, he is quite happy and feels that it is true.
There is drama.
"Well, nephew Linton, you already know the matter," Wigley said.
"Well, I just came back from practice and I probably know the current situation." Linton said.
"What are your thoughts on this challenge?" Wigley asked.
"Your Majesty also feels something is wrong." Linton asked.
"Hmm..." Wigley nodded, "I don't know what the Yetis Empire is planning, but it's definitely not something as simple as a competition."
"I...may have guessed what the other party is thinking, but I need to look at the map." Linton said.
"What? What is it?" Wigley said a little surprised. After speaking, he pointed to the side and there was a map on the table. "That is the map of the war zone."
The three of them walked to the map, and Wigley also briefly explained the situation on the map to Linton. This was actually an act of trusting Linton. After all, this was a military secret, and there were many locations of their troops on the map.
As for the location mark, if Linton spreads it, wouldn't it be a big deal? But Wigley thinks that Linton won't do these things. After all... he is a saint. If he really wants to do it, it will be useful.
Selling out military intelligence? There's no end to it.
"So that's it." Linton nodded after reading it, "I think I've determined that they do this just to... attract attention."
