In the Eight Gate Auditorium, everyone who participated in the meeting returned to their seats in a daze. The previous scene shocked them too much, whether it was the beam attack that destroyed the world or the almost
The strongest people in the mainland who were instantly killed were frightened by so many things that most of them still haven't come back to their senses.
Looking at the expressions of the people below, Linton was naturally quite satisfied. Looking at Toliman in front of him, it was obvious that he had not recovered from the shock just now, as if he was completely stunned.
Toliman was indeed stunned. Did he not expect that he still underestimated Linton? The strongest man on the mainland, Dragon Lord Iglis, fell into Linton's hands like this. He was
I thought that Iglis might not be Linton's opponent, but I didn't expect that it would be like this. It can be said that Iglis did not pose any threat to Linton at all. The confrontation between the two sides did not look like a battle at all.
On a grade level.
At this time, people in the Holy Association have already gone to look for Iglis, but based on the current situation, Toliman probably can't find him. Although he only watched the previous attack from a distance, he also felt it.
With the power of the beam, if it hit him, he would have no chance of surviving, and there would even be no ashes left, so it is very likely that Iglis has completely disappeared.
When things got here, Toliman had no idea what to do next. Originally, he had planned a lot, but the meeting had just begun, and his biggest backer, Iglis, had been blown to pieces. What should he do next?
What to do? Toliman doesn’t know either.
"Lord Toliman." Just when Toliman's thoughts were in confusion, Linton's voice suddenly woke him up, "Trial by Combat, your agent has lost. Now, your Holy Association can
Please plead guilty."
"Plead guilty?" Toliman was stunned. His first reaction was that it was a bit ridiculous. No one has dared to ask their Holy Association to plead guilty since ancient times. But suddenly he remembered the current situation again.
Some don't know what to do anymore.
Yes, what made him uncomfortable was not only that Linton directly dealt with the backer he invited, but more importantly, Linton had reason to ask him to plead guilty. In a trial by combat, the losing party will naturally plead guilty. You just
Since they accepted trial by combat, it has shown that they accepted this condition. Now that Linton wants you to plead guilty, what else do you have to say?
But the problem is, by pleading guilty now, isn't it just a matter of bowing to Linton? Their Holy Association is bowing to Linton now, and if they don't say anything, how will they face Linton in the future? Isn't this because they have already surrendered to Linton?
I mean.
Toliman originally invited Iglis as his backer because he didn't want the current situation to arise. If all their Saint-Level Associations surrendered, wouldn't they have directly recognized Linton's status, and who could stop him?
Of course Toliman doesn't want this situation to happen. Even if Linton really becomes a being like a continental overlord, the Saint-level Association should be independent. He doesn't want this situation to happen during his term as president.
superior.
"Why, looking at Lord Toliman's situation, you still don't seem convinced?" Linton said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. I don't like to force others. Since I don't accept the trial by combat, I will give it to you again."
You have one chance to appeal, come on, come on, you can send someone out again."
Toliman's face darkened, and he still appeals? How can he appeal? Dragon Lord Iglis has been stunned by you. He now admits that Linton's strength is definitely not comparable to theirs. What can he say about giving him another chance?
Isn't this still forcing them to submit? What's even more disgusting is that the situation has returned to the previous situation. If you say you accept it, you will die. If you say you don't accept it, you are afraid again.
It was this disgusting dilemma situation again. Toliman said that he had really had enough, but the same problem was still there, what should I do? Now that even Iglis was gone, Toliman was even more desperate.
Looking down, Toliman found that most of the people below had their heads lowered, as if this matter had nothing to do with them. This was obviously because they didn't want to get involved. Of course Toliman also understood that this gang
People were really frightened by Linton. He had obviously greeted these people before, but it is estimated that after seeing the previous situation, many people did not dare to provoke Linton anymore.
It was obviously unrealistic to rely on them. Toliman gritted his teeth. In this situation, his face seemed to have been lost. There were only two options at the moment. One was to break up with Linton and fight to the death. The other was to surrender.
Okay. So do you want to break up with each other directly? Toliman said he didn’t dare.
Yes, if you break up, if nothing else, you will definitely not be able to leave here. And if you break up, the outcome of the Holy Association will not be very good. As I said before, the Holy Association is a loose organization.
, do you expect the association to unite to fight against Linton? Toliman thinks that the most likely thing is that the Holy Association will directly split, some will fight against Linton, some will directly disband in place, and some may be subdued by Linton, so the confrontation
The result is probably that the entire association will disappear.
And you expect the Saint-level Association to avenge you, which is a fantasy. Toliman feels that the association itself cannot be protected, so wouldn’t his death be in vain? Moreover, under the current situation, Linton actually has a formal reason to kill himself.
Because he had confessed, he could completely say that he was the murderer of his nephew. After all, he had lost the trial by combat, so wouldn't this be even more disgusting?
Thinking of this, Toliman wanted to give in directly. After all, Linton was so powerful that he couldn't even think of resisting. But they were a Saint-level association. Yes, this was what he struggled with the most. Saint
He is used to being the boss of the Saint-Level Association, so how can he be someone else's younger brother? This is not just a situation that he cannot accept. Even if he obeys Linton, what about the other people in the Saint-Level Association?
Linton did not continue to press forward at this time. On the one hand, these people were still useful, and on the other hand, it was indeed interesting to see Toliman being forced into such an expression. However, Toliman right here
When Liman was still fighting between heaven and man, a voice suddenly came from below, which unexpectedly helped Liman save the situation.
"Two adults, could you please put the matter of trial aside for a moment?" The person who stood up at this time was a young man who looked to be under thirty years old. He was quite handsome and had blond hair that was obviously regularly taken care of.
With his long hair and handsome appearance, he looks a bit like a prince in a fairy tale.
"Let it go?" Linton didn't expect that someone would dare to stand up and cause trouble for him at this time. He smiled and asked, "Why?"
"After all... the assassination of your nephew is just your personal grudge. What we are convening now is the Continental Congress, and we should be discussing matters related to the entire continent." The blond man here said.
It must be said that what this guy said actually made some sense, but Linton was a little surprised that he could say such things now. Seeing that the people next to him were obviously overwhelmed by his previous momentum, they did not dare to speak at all.
Speaking at this time. If you block yourself at this time, you will obviously be targeted by yourself. No one dares to offend a saint, and no one dares to offend himself, a person who can even beat the strongest man in the mainland. How dare this guy
It would be interesting to get up and reason with yourself at this time.
"So you have issues that concern the entire continent?" Linton asked.
"Of course." The blond man here said, "My name is Adel Candela, and my father is Noah Candela, the emperor of the Tomlian Empire. I came here because I want to accuse
Two things. One is that the Holy Empire of Iran launched a war of aggression against our country without any reason, and the other is that Mr. Linton killed my parents and brothers for no reason."
Everyone was stunned when they heard what Adair said. Of course, many people actually knew it. Yes, Adair was actually arranged as one of the means to deal with Linton. However, although it was arranged
Yes, but now many of the people who had conspired have given up. What they didn't expect was that Adair was still standing up to confront Linton. To be honest, they even admired him.
Of course, Adair has no choice. If he doesn't get up now, when Toliman really expresses his stance, will he still have a chance? It is obvious that the Holy Association has been completely suppressed by Linton. If this continues, the Holy Association will
He might have to be subdued by Linton directly. Would it be useful for Adair to say this at that time? So he had to get up now.
As for offending Linton, he doesn't care much about it. Because he is the prince and heir to the throne of the Tomulia Empire, Linton will not let him go, right? I haven't seen a few people from the Yetis Empire.
Have all the heirs been killed by Linton? I am now forced to have no choice. This Continental Congress is the only chance. Otherwise, can I really live in seclusion?
In short, interrupting at this time is the only chance. Of course, Adair is determined to do it. Isn't he afraid of Linton? Of course he is afraid. Of course he has seen the previous situation, but there is nothing he can do about it. This is the enemy who killed his father.
, it is impossible for him to watch him continue to grow bigger.
"Oh? The prince of the Tomulian Empire?" Linton smiled, then looked at Yalan next to him, and nodded to each other. Yes, they had long since expected the heir to the Tomulian Empire.
I guessed it, not surprised at all. Of course, the way to deal with it, Linton had already greeted Yalan when he came here before, and it was completely within the plan.
