Chapter 568: Accident

After listening for a while, Linton and Garseen probably understood what was going on, and the two who were killed by the bandits heard that they were a mother and daughter, and that they might indeed be the illegitimate daughters of someone in their Merlowe family, otherwise they would not have this badge. Recently, Gasain has just ascended to the throne, and one of his disciples has ascended to heaven, and the Merowe family has suddenly become a hot upstart in the empire, so there are many relatives who have come to defect.

Since Garseen took office, he has probably received more than 30 of his relatives, some of which are more convenient to check with genealogies, but others, such as illegitimate children, are very troublesome, and of course there are true and false ones. Although the status of an illegitimate child is not protected in any way, nor does he have any inheritance rights, after all, there is some bloodline, and if it is verified, Garsein will not drive people away.

It may be that they know that Garseen has a good heart, and there seem to be more relatives who have come to defect recently, Linton They estimate that the mother and daughter are one of the people who came to join them, and now they should look at the badge should be true, and they don't know which illegitimate daughter in the family is, but they were killed by bandits by bad luck, but this happened quite coincidentally on the border between the two countries, so the people of the Kingdom of Covicla had a misunderstanding.

The people of the Covicla Kingdom really don't know the specific situation of Linton, they know about Linton's existence, and they also know that Linton is a saint, but when they sent people a few times before, Linton didn't come forward at all, it's not too lazy to participate in political affairs, but they preconceived that it was Linton's illegitimate daughter who died, and they didn't have any suspicions and found someone to fake it, so they made today's incident.

Hearing the whole thing, Gasain also handed the badge in his hand to the guard next to him, and asked him to take this to the house to ask whose illegitimate daughter had an accident. Turning around, Garsein was also in a brewing mood, slapped the armrest suddenly, and said to the messenger below: "You are playing tricks on me like this, are you deceiving me when I am young?" ”

"Lord Duke, I don't mean that...... "The envoy group here also knows that they are at a loss, and there is no one else, who knows that Linton is so young, and there is no room for a turn in this panic."

"So what do you mean? Sending someone to pretend to be my cousin is preparing to assassinate me? What a wicked heart! Garseen roared.

"No, no, no, no, there is no such thought." The old man who led the team was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to explain.

"Say no more! Originally, I thought that you consciously returned the territory and were ready to sign a peace agreement with you, but I didn't expect that I was too naïve. Go back and tell you the king, that I will march now, and I will personally lead an army of ten thousand to Dithorne and ask him for an explanation!" Garseen said, pointing at the old man.

"This ...... This ......"

"Pull them out!" Garseen was not ready to give the other party a chance, and waved his hand directly. The soldiers next to him also immediately set up a few people and took them out.

I have to say that Gasein's set of taking the opportunity to make trouble is still handled very well, no matter what, there is indeed a legitimate reason to start a war with the Kingdom of Covicla, and the other party really can't explain it. Not only that, Garseen also gave the other party a wrong target, Dithon City is the capital of the Kingdom of Covicla, so it is natural to want the other party to concentrate their forces to defend the capital, and their goal is always a gold mine.

Of course, the army of 10,000 is completely blown, and the troops under Garsein are only 3,000, and now the territory has no money to recruit new soldiers. However, this kind of exaggerated number is a traditional project, and sending 2,000 troops can be called an army of 100,000, and Garsein has a thin face after all, so he just blows 10,000.

In fact, the troops have already been assembled, and it is not that there is something completely unexpected but it has slowed down for a few days. In short, since war had been declared, Garsein's side also immediately began to act, convened a meeting of his men, and decided to send troops early tomorrow morning, march to Dithorne City first, turn around halfway, and attack the gold mines directly.

Of course, the official declaration of war was also sent out on the same day, briefly explaining the situation, mainly to point out the despicable deeds of the Kingdom of Kovica and prove the justice of its own war. The news quickly spread throughout the continent, and to be honest, no one expected that this war would really start.

Some of the more well-informed forces have noticed the situation here before, but no one thinks that they can fight this time, not to mention the situation in the Kingdom of Covicla, their country is already in chaos, and they also think that it is just to scare and scare people, do you have the money to fight? However, I didn't expect that war was really declared, where did this military money come from?

Of course, the emperor of the St. Wieland Empire also knew about this matter for the first time, and Gathine did not greet him at all, because the principality originally had the right to declare war independently, but at the same time, declaring war on their own means that they could not get any assistance from the empire, otherwise it would be the declaration of war by the entire empire. Wigley didn't care about it, but when it came to Linton, he wanted to ask again.

"Father, why don't I go and see it again, and help you ask about it." Princess Yalan next to her said.

"If you're not married, what's the matter with running to your husband's house, you're not allowed to go." Wigley said, "I've sent someone to contact the people of the Merlowe family, what the hell is going on, the wedding is going to be held in March, are they going to attend?" ”

The matter between Princess Arlan and Linton had been decided, and the Merlowe family sent Linton's second uncle Lu Wen to the imperial capital to help Linton ask for marriage, and Emperor Wigley had issued a decree to announce to the world that he should do this. Although this matter is also a big deal, it didn't cause much controversy, Princess Yalan is known as the most beautiful woman in the country, but Linton is a saint, these two are married, it seems that there is nothing to question. The wedding is scheduled for the end of January next year, and during this period, Princess Arlan can't run around casually.

Wigley has no problem with Garsein's sudden declaration of war, but with three months to go, will the battle be over? This matter cannot be delayed, if the wedding cannot be held as scheduled, then the face of the royal family ...... So Wigley had to find someone to ask for the specifics.

"Do they still have money to fight? Are the wedding expenses ready for the royal family to go all-in? Wigley touched his chin, this matter really has to be implemented quickly, the royal family is not short of money for the time being, but how can there be a reason for the woman to be all. In short, I really have to find someone to ask about this matter, and by the way, I also asked if Gaseen needed the help of the Empire, although he couldn't directly participate in the war, but of course it didn't matter if he helped behind the scenes.

Soon, the time came for the next day, and Garsein's troops were regrouped on the school grounds and ready to go. Before leaving, Linton asked a few of his subordinates if they were ready to brush up on military merits together, although several of Linton's subordinates were not farts criticized by him, and they couldn't even help, but in the eyes of others, they were already masters among masters, and it was difficult to have opponents below the holy level, and if they participated in the war, they would basically go to brush up on their merits. However, several people refused without exception, maybe they were too stimulated by Godzilla before, and several people decided to work hard and practice wildly, and even military merit was not attractive to them anymore.

Linton's side didn't have to follow, anyway, there was a flying thunder god who could fly to Garsein's side at any time, so when they captured the gold mine, Linton would go to work on the task construction arrangements.

Soon, three days passed. In the past three days, Linton has basically been guiding a few of his subordinates to practice, and the progress of the five is still very fast, and the four major lines of the current reading, practice, entanglement, absolute, and hair have already practiced, and they can be switched at any time, and Linton has also begun to teach them the practice of application techniques, so as for Karp, he doesn't need him to teach him, and he already understands everything.

During this period, Linton has basically tried out what Ellie's idiosyncratic thoughts are like, and it is really related to healing, and the general situation is a bit like magic such as holy light magic, and Ellie's own angel fruit ability also has a healing effect, in short, now Ellie seems to have suddenly developed in the direction of a super nurse, which is of course a good thing for Linton.

With the nurse who has changed jobs, a new project can be started in terms of training, of course, Linton has not yet started, waiting for a few people to lay the basics, and then...... Thinking of this, Linton's gaze at a few people also became kind, and a few people didn't know why they felt a little panicked.

However, just as Linton was preparing them for the follow-up lessons, the battle report from the front finally came. When Linton saw the battle report, he thought that it should be the battle report that Garseen and they had taken the gold mine, but to Linton's surprise, they actually lost the first battle.

Linton looked confused, can this be defeated? After carefully reading the battle report, Garseen still carried out the original plan, which was originally to move in the direction of Dithorne City, but after walking for two days, he suddenly turned around and marched quickly to the gold mine, preparing to catch the other party off guard.

However, what they didn't expect was that they actually encountered an ambush, yes, the enemy's troops seemed to have discovered Gassene's intentions, and actually prepared an ambush on the road in advance, and as a result, they ambushed Gassein's troops.

According to the war report, they were attacked on the way to the gold mines, and the enemy used fire to surround their troops and try to burn them, but in the end Gassein managed to break through with his men. The main reason is that the enemy's troops are relatively small, and if the enemy's troops are more numerous, they may not be able to come out.

In this battle, the Garsean side probably lost more than 800 people, which can be said to be a great defeat, and the enemy suffered almost no losses. The loss of personnel is still a trivial matter, and when they break through, they lose a lot of baggage, which is more troublesome.

"This is really ......" I thought there was no problem, but suddenly there was such an accident, Linton thought about it, and hurried over to take a look.
