Three days passed quickly, and the situation in the Holy Empire of Elan suddenly became somewhat stable.
To say it is stable is because the rebellion here is not as fierce as imagined. Yes, neither the First Army in the north nor the Second Army in the northeast seem to be in a hurry to attack. They are indeed advancing, but at a very slow speed.
Moreover, the large troops have always been stationed in the city behind, showing that they are not in a hurry.
This feeling of lack of urgency is obviously quite strange when it appears in the performance of a group of rebels. However, Linton was not too surprised. After all, these guys have been acting strangely from the beginning. No matter how strange it is, Linton is not too lazy.
Leave them alone.
On the contrary, Linton and his team are progressing very smoothly. First of all, the third army led by Esdeath has arrived to the north of the imperial capital, but it did not go directly to the front line, but chose to attack Sukal City in the north.
Stationed on the front line with Milligran City, began to strengthen the city's defenses, and built fortresses on the spot to prepare for defense.
Then Gasein took over the military affairs of the Seventh Army very smoothly. According to his judgment, there should be no problem with the Seventh Army. Although Linton did not confirm it personally, he believed in Gasein's judgment, so he informed him to directly take the Seventh Army with him.
The Seventh Legion then set off to station near the Imperial Capital to defend the surrounding areas of the Imperial Capital.
In short, two legions from Linton's side have been transferred to defend the imperial capital. The strength is similar to that of the opposite force. This makes the worried ministers in the imperial capital feel a little more relieved. No matter what, at least it can
There was a confrontation. At first, they were really worried that the two rebel legions would directly attack the imperial capital, and they would not have time to make defensive arrangements.
The remaining three legions, the 4th, 5th, and 6th, seem to have shown no response in the past three days. After receiving the order from Linton, they all stayed at their stations without any action. At least for now.
It seems that he is quite well-behaved, but Linton has no further instructions from his side.
The temporary crisis has been somewhat resolved, and the next question is how to deal with these rebels.
Linton naturally did not go to the guild directly in the past three days, mainly because he knew that the invitation was really a one-time thing. He could only go in once now, and if something happened, he might not be able to come back for a long time.
Linton was obviously worried about leaving the current situation to Yalan and the others. Fortunately, the task had been completed. Linton was not in a hurry now, so he might as well deal with it first.
Of course, the people from the Holy Association also came back, and it was President Toliman who came to Linton and explained to him the situation of the rebels there.
"They want to support a new emperor? Are they already loyal to the new emperor?" Linton frowned when he heard what Toliman relayed. This is not a slander of the emperor, but a direct grab for the throne.
?
"They said that the emperor they support is the true heir to the empire and their true allegiance." Toliman said here.
"Who?" Linton asked strangely. Is there anyone with inheritance rights higher than Yalan? Linton didn't have such a person.
The previous emperor Wigley had two sons, both of whom are dead. Yalan did have two sisters, but whether it is the eldest sister Fulla or the second sister Jorah, they are all staying in the imperial city now, and they are also their own
There is no more suitable heir to the throne that was given up.
"So who is it?" Although Linton was surprised, he was too lazy to guess and asked directly to Toliman.
"I don't know..." Toliman here shook his head, "We haven't met the heir they talked about at all."
"What? Didn't meet him?" Linton was stunned for a moment.
"They said that their new emperor is in a very dangerous situation and is temporarily hiding in a safe place. In order to prevent similar attacks by assassins, it is inconvenient to show up now," Toliman said.
"Is this assassin referring to me?" Linton looked at Toliman strangely.
"I think that may be what they meant." Toliman thought for a while and nodded.
"Ha... this heir is really timid." Linton smiled and said, "Then I don't even know who the other person is, how can you be sure that this guy is the real heir to the throne? This is not
People from other countries are pretending to be here, especially to subvert our empire."
"At the moment, I only have the guarantees of the two legion commanders who met with me. They both said that they could confirm the identity of the other party and that they were the legitimate heirs to the throne. So they said that this war was not a war to subvert the empire, they just wanted to
Help their new emperor regain his throne..." Toliman said.
"So your Holy Association can't take action or anything?" Linton asked.
"Generally speaking, that's the case...it's just an internal problem within the royal family," Toliman said.
"Let's not talk about whether the new emperor is real or not. Why did two saints come out to trouble me when I rebelled?" Linton asked.
"Linton Sword Master, isn't it because you, a saint, interfered with the internal issues of the royal family?" Toliman said, and these two people have been killed by Linton. Logically speaking, it is the saint-level association that should go to Linton.
Inquire about the situation.
"Then how do you know that the other side doesn't have any saint-level thugs?" Linton asked.
"As long as there is a Saint on the other side taking action, our Saint Association will all be on your side." Toliman said immediately.
"You are really naughty, just to show off." Linton spread his hands and said, "But forget it, because this time, I really don't plan to push them directly. You are actually afraid that I will go directly to their hometown.
?Although I have indeed done it before, it can be regarded as my mercy. Since they want to see something more cruel, I promise to grant it to them."
"Ah? Linton Sword Master, are you ready to..." Toliman asked immediately. What he was worried about now was that Linton would go up and fire a big gun and kill all the people in the two legions. He probably also knew that Linton was
It can be done, but if you do this, their Saint-Level Association will really not be able to continue its performance. Do you think Linton can be held accountable?
"Don't worry, I told them to take good care of them, so I will take good care of them. Not only will I not go there myself this time, I will not even send an army. I will let them see how cruel it is to cut flesh with a blunt knife." Linton said.
After sending away the worried Toliman, Linton waited for another two days. On the third day, after the two legions on his side were in place, they also found Prime Minister Tyrard and were stationed in the imperial city.
Garçon in the military camp next to it.
"Are you preparing for a defensive war?" The first person to ask was Gasseron, whose surprise was already written on his face.
Yes, he was really surprised for a long time when he received Linton's new order, which asked the Third Army to build defenses. He was just stationed here. This was a defensive posture.
You said that if this happened to others, Gasein would certainly not be surprised. Defense is definitely more stable than offense. Now the main city is naturally the most important. For ordinary generals to judge, of course it is to protect the main city.
If the city is more important, then a defensive plan will definitely be chosen.
But the problem is that when this order appears on Linton, it is abnormal. Linton would actually give such an order, which shocked Garsain. Is this guy someone who can carry out defensive warfare? At the beginning, they
For a few people, Linton's rebellion was a direct attack on the palace. It is really hard to imagine that this person would talk about defense.
"Don't you find it strange? In general rebellions, the rebels are absolutely eager to get to the point, but this group of rebels is quite quiet and has been advancing at a steady pace until now. It seems that they are not in a hurry at all.
.If you rebelled, would you be so calm?" Linton asked.
"Uh...I haven't thought about rebellion," Garsain said.
"Hey, this matter has already been engraved on the family tree of our Mellow family, you..."
"So, can you please stop changing the family tree randomly? I know you are familiar with this matter, okay." Gaseon shouted, "Then what do they want to do?"
"Of course they want to... force us." Linton said, "It's been more than ten days since the First Legion started the rebellion, and the other side is still in the north. If they attack earlier, our legion will really be in trouble.
We will definitely be able to assemble them immediately. It looks like they are waiting for our legions to assemble and then challenge them for a decisive battle."
"Well...then what? Are they confident of defeating us? Although the first and second legions are indeed more elite, they are not guaranteed to win." Gaseon here said, "Currently we have only summoned two legions.
But there are still three legions that have not been summoned, aren't they afraid?"
"I guess there is some follow-up plan waiting for us." Linton said, "For example, when we send out the troops, give us a stick."
"You mean there are legions who have rebelled with them, but they haven't taken action yet?" Gaseon asked.
"The devil knows, and I don't want to know either." Linton spread his hands and said, "Are you sure your group of people is fine?"
"There should be no problem, but I can't say anything about Esdeath," Garsain said.
"Well... OK, in short, it doesn't matter what follow-up surprises they have prepared, because I have no intention of following the script they wrote." Linton said, "They are not in a hurry, we are competing.
They are not in a hurry. Aren't they waiting for us to send troops? Let them wait."
"So, if we don't take the initiative?" Gaseon asked, "What about watching them occupy the northern cities?"
"Well, I just watched them occupy. Not only did I watch them occupy, I also gave them time to digest it." Linton said with a smile, "They want to play military games with me, so I will compete with them to govern the country and tell them,
