Saint Toliman finally succeeded in stopping everyone who wanted to pursue him, and this time the "ambush" incident came to an end for the time being. Of course, the news quickly spread throughout the continent, after all, this incident caused
The fall of nine saints.
The bodies of Saint Joramo and the three saints who had just been killed were also found nearby. Seeing the death of these three people, Saint Toliman here took a breath again. It was indeed the old man.
It was miserable. One was detonated from the inside by flames, and the other was stabbed to death by his own bones. In short, it was just as miserable as it was.
Of course, things are not actually done so beautifully, and many clues are actually very obvious. For example, the most obvious one is that there are too few traces of the on-site battle. This is a holy-level battle after all. If you don’t say Destruction,
Well, at least it won't be a problem if you change the terrain. The Sword Master and the Magic Saint can cut mountains and break ground at will, but there are very few traces of on-site battles.
In fact, it is not that no one suspected Linton. After all, it was Linton who stirred up trouble in the first place, and then the elves sent the saints there, which caused a series of events. However, most of the saints were not suspicious of Linton.
One person caused this, but Linton was with the enemies of the Second Son Regiment. Otherwise, the ambush was too coincidental. How did they know to ambush here?
But speculation is speculation, and there is definitely no evidence. Linton's behavior is barely reasonable. For example, when he went to the Elf military camp to negotiate, he said before that he did not interfere in the war, and the troops surrendered.
, Linton just said to evacuate the people, and it seemed to be a good deed, which barely makes sense.
Besides, when Linton appeared on the side of the elves, wasn't this an emergency summons order issued by Saint Toliman? Linton heard the summons and came to help, and indeed he helped, but he didn't catch anyone. This is the same
That makes sense.
Although there are weird feelings everywhere, there is no evidence that can implicate Linton. More importantly, Saint Toliman is not on Linton's side.
As the only survivor of the "ambush" incident, Saint Toliman's testimony is naturally the most important, that is, he confirmed that this incident was done by the Second Sons and had nothing to do with Linton.
Saint Toliman has obviously been "tamed" by Linton, or he is really scared. He really doesn't know what Linton is, anyway, it is just something he can't afford to offend.
After witnessing Linton killing six saints in an instant, Saint Toliman felt that even if all the saints in the entire holy association gathered together, they would be unable to defeat Linton. They also had the ability to teleport, even if there were a bunch of saints.
If they can defeat him as a team, then they will have to live together for the rest of their lives. Once they are alone, they may meet Linton at any time, and they will be gone. Can they still live together?
Fortunately, Linton doesn't seem to want to solve or incorporate their holy association. Of course, Saint Toliman sees it very clearly. Maybe he thinks that the holy association still has some value? Keep this model for the time being, or
He said that they actually didn't want to have anything to do with the Holy Association, as long as they just ignored Linton's business.
Saint Toliman felt that the latter reason probably accounted for the majority, because Linton told them from the beginning, which probably meant that you didn’t need to question me about what I was doing. This incident was probably part of Linton’s warning.
Something like that.
In the end, he pushed the matter to the Second Son Group, probably because he didn't want to get involved with their Saint-Level Association. "If you go to the Second Son Group, you won't blame me for being rude if you interfere in my affairs again." That's probably what it meant.
Saint Toliman understands, and he naturally leads the trend in that direction, not for some holy-level association. This kind of loose organization does not have such a strong sense of belonging. He simply does not want to die. He is
The person who can most intuitively feel how Linton feels when he looks at him as if a knife is on his neck, would not dare to disobey him.
Of course, the investigation of this incident will take a lot of time, and it may even have to wait until the Second Son Group is found before a conclusion can be made. Linton will not care about this matter for the time being, and he will not be afraid of anything if he is discovered anyway.
.Now, the immigration aspect is more important.
Linton's purpose from the beginning was for this wave of immigrants. Although everyone thought this was not important, the empire did not lack population, and the population in the new city would be filled sooner or later. No one thought that Linton was really for this wave of population.
So much trouble. But they didn't know Linton's mission. He really wanted this population.
The situation is very bad now for the elves, because in fact, their losses are the biggest. The nine saints who died were all saints enshrined by the elves, although there are one or two who are relatively lucky.
The saint-level escaped because he didn't come back in time, but this sudden move almost wiped out the elves' saint-level.
Then this situation is like the elves suddenly changing from a nuclear country to a non-nuclear country. This difference is very big. Regular battles are indeed non-interference. There is not a single person in the elven troops over there. Before, there should be
It's how it is now, but the less problematic thing is the confidence of the elves.
Now if the human race wants to start a holy war, can the elves take over? They have only one or two holy level who have slipped through the net. It is impossible to compare with the holy level on the human race in terms of quantity. Once they enter,
In the case of a holy war, they will definitely lose.
Without such confidence, the elves must be weak. For example, now, Linton has returned to the military camp again and asked about yesterday's events. Doesn't this mean that he will give a response within one day? The time is up now, right?
, do you reject or accept?
If the elves before had a choice, the current elves actually have no choice. Even if they resisted and said they disagreed, and then forced Linton to retreat by saying that the saints could not interfere in the war, they were still offended.
A saint, but now they don't have the confidence to offend a saint at all. Although the Saint Association has regulations, if you really offend a saint, there are many ways for others to mess with you.
For example, let's say Linton casually goes to the countries surrounding the elves and tells their kings that if you send troops to fight against the elves, I, the saint, owe you a favor privately. How valuable is the favor of the saint?
It is said that this is an interference in the war. If you don't admit it, it will be over. The person who took action was not me, but the army of that country. I don't know what the favor is.
For such a top-level existence in the mainland, there are many ways to mess with you without taking action personally. Originally, the elves were able to trick you and were not afraid at all, but now that nine saints are dead, they really don't dare
ah.
So when the Elf general faced Linton’s questioning again, the only answer he could give was... Agree. I feel aggrieved, but there is no other way. Just go to your barracks and beat your lieutenant to death in front of you. You still have to
To apologize, you have to agree to the other person's request and cooperate.
Yes, the elves actually have to cooperate with the immigration work here. To put it simply, they ask the elven soldiers to inform the people in the Kingdom of Sardinia, tell them the news, and then gather them together.
Naturally, the elves don't want to agree. They reached the battlefield first. Why don't they quickly build fortifications and then prepare to welcome the arrival of the human army while waiting for work? Or do they want to help you organize the evacuation of the survivors?
You must know that the Kingdom of Sardinia has a total population of hundreds of thousands, most of which are scattered in villages and towns. The population of the cities is more than 30,000 in the main city, and the other small towns have a population of several thousand. It is so scattered.
distribution, trying to organize these people is cumbersome, time-consuming and energy-consuming.
And it takes up a lot of manpower. You can't complete it by sending thousands of people, and something may happen. The people of the Kingdom of Sardinia are not so friendly to the elves occupying their land. If you really send
Thousands of people have gone there, but it seems that there are only a small number of people. What should you do if someone revolts? Are you going to send a large army to exterminate them? This will delay the preparations for war with the human race. So you have to send a team of tens of thousands of people to cooperate.
Then you say I don’t want to do it and let Linton do it himself. Linton said that’s fine. Then he introduced that he has a world-peace-loving organization that specializes in helping refugees from war-torn areas. They can help with immigration.
There are only...tens of thousands of people to do the work. If you elves don't want to help, you can just let my people do it.
After Linton said this, the Elf General Xiweier immediately agreed to the help of the Elf army.
Does Linton's men have such an organization? Of course not. All he needs to do is borrow tens of thousands of people from the Human Legion. In his name, there is no one to "evacuate refugees" in the Kingdom of Sardinia.
You dare to touch them. If you attack them, won't you offend Linton? Linton is seeking to settle a score with the elves, not to interfere in the war, but a personal grudge.
These tens of thousands of people do not directly participate in the war, but it doesn't matter if they write a few letters home in the Kingdom of Sardinia and tell them about what is happening around them. The elves want to advance, so they randomly draw a few interception lines to indicate that they will
It's okay to evacuate the refugees over there and prevent the elves from passing by. If you dare to move, they will dare to call Linton to help them settle accounts.
Xiweier is not a fool. She knows what kind of trouble she will encounter just by thinking about it. Linton is clearly disgusting with them now, but they just can't do anything because they have no confidence. If they still have the support of the Saint level,
The worst thing this can do is start a holy war. Who is afraid of who? But they have no support now, so what can they do? They can only break their teeth and swallow it in the stomach. It feels uncomfortable and they can only hold it in.
