Chapter 161: Challenge
"Huh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, and found that he was really in a hurry. Indeed, the time-limited task made him a little anxious to brush up his scores, but he also forgot that he had just returned.
After thinking about it, Linton also calmed down, and he was in a hurry, and he couldn't mess up. I've been in the Marvel world for nearly 2 months this time, and I don't know how long it's been here, and whether the battle over there has started, but don't be in a hurry to do tasks and collapse the world here.
"The Emperor is looking for me? What's the matter? Linton asked.
"Things to do on the battlefield ahead." Klose said.
"Already fighting?" Linton asked.
"There's no war yet, and they're all waiting for you now." Klose said.
"Wait for me?" Linton was directly stunned, "Why are you waiting for me, I'm not a marshal or something, do you want me to go to the front before I can start a war?" ”
"No, it's a challenge book." Klose said.
"Challenge?" Linton was really confused.
Klose also knew why Linton was confused, so he explained the situation a little. It had now been almost a month since Linton left, and by this time the Empire's forces had all been assembled and were stationed in the Northlands. At the same time, the enemy's forces had been assembled, and as expected, in addition to the rebellious Duke of Minotir, the Yetis Empire behind him had also sent troops.
Now that the Duke of Minotir has announced his membership in the Yetis Empire, the other party has also used this as an excuse to prevent the Empire from recovering its territory. Sure enough, it was a big war between the two countries, and the troops gathered on both sides were estimated to be more than 100,000.
Originally, it was fought like this, but at this time there was an accident. On the other side of the battlefield, a saint-level figure suddenly appeared, and his appearance directly interrupted the battle between the two countries.
As mentioned before, the existence of nuclear weapons in the holy level in the war, generally speaking, it will not be mobilized, if the real holy level starts, it will be a real nuclear war. Unless it involves the destruction of the country and the extinction of the race, generally speaking, the empires will be relatively restrained and do not really let the saint-level dispatch.
Theoretically speaking, this war between the two countries is just a territorial dispute, and according to the original idea, it is unlikely that there will be a saint-level war, so the other party dispatched the saint-level, which makes the emperor have a headache.
Of course, there are also saint-level on the side of the Holy Empire of Yilan, and the number of saint-level on the surface of the two countries is comparable, and if you really want to fight a saint-level war, it will be like that, but the result of this is that both sides will explode on the spot, what good is this? Seriously, the Holy Empire of Elan doesn't want to fight a saint-level war with the other party.
So Emperor Wigley directly sent a letter of state to the Yates Empire, and also asked if the other party was really ready to die together, but the other emperor's answer was very slippery. First of all, they spared for a long time, saying that they didn't want to fight a saint-level war, after all, if the two countries really fought a saint-level war, they would both be devastated, and it would only cheapen other countries.
As for the current situation on the front line, the emperor of the Yates Empire said that it had nothing to do with him, but just the personal behavior of this saint-level. According to him, this sword master named Tilant seems to have heard that there is a rookie saint in the Holy Empire of Ilan, so he privately decided to talk to this rookie, so he appeared on the front line or something.
Then this statement is obviously, your family's holy level appeared on the front line of the war, and then you said you don't know, who believes it. This 100% should have been ordered by the Emperor of the Yetis Empire. And the other party's goal is obviously Linton, after all, Linton has only defeated the saint level before, of course, everyone thinks he is the saint level, but what is their purpose?
The purpose of the other party, the Holy Empire of Ilan is really a little confused, there are often exchanges before the holy level, but they have never come out at such a moment to say that they are fighting, provocation? Recognized the Holy Empire's side of Ilan, and didn't dare to directly launch a saint-level war?
Anyway, anyway, the Timant Sword Master on the other side really submitted a challenge, saying that he wanted to fight with Linton. But Linton was gone again, and no one could be found. This challenge has been sent for four days, and the emperor can't deal with it because he can't find Linton, and this battle can't be fought at the moment, and the troops on both sides have been assembled, but because of the intervention of the holy level, if it starts now, it may evolve into a saint-level war or something like that at any time.
The scene was a little frozen, the troops on both sides had been rallying for several days, and they had not yet started fighting, and they were all in a daze on the front line, which was also quite uncomfortable. And the emperor has been looking for Linton in a hurry for several days, no wonder Klose is very excited to see Linton.
"It's good that you're back today, no matter how late it is, it probably won't be too late." Klose explained.
"Why?" Linton asked.
"Because the time agreed on the other party's challenge book is tomorrow, according to your speed, one day should still be enough to reach the battlefield, so it's just in time." Klose said.
"The agreed time?" Linton asked curiously, "Wait, did he know that I didn't make an appointment later, or did he make an appointment in the first place?" ”
"Uh...... At the beginning, he sent you a challenge book to ask you to discuss it in five days. Klose said.
"......" Linton touched his chin, "Is that so?" I probably know, do you have a map of the battlefield? ”
"Battlefield maps? How can I have it, Your Majesty's side probably does, what do you want a map for? Klose asked.
"Then go to the Emperor now." Linton said.
"Okay." Although I don't know what Linton meant, but the emperor was looking for him, of course Klose took Linton to the palace.
The carriage came all the way to the palace, and Klose's carriage did not dare to stop it, and no soldiers went to check on anyone in the carriage. The two of them came to the hall all the way, and after a little briefing, several guards also took the two of them to the apse, which was probably a council hall or something, and as soon as they entered the door, Linton saw a middle-aged man in civilian clothes.
This is a handsome man with blond hair, although he is a little older, but he is burly and strong, it is obvious that the other party must have been a handsome guy when he was young, and the other party has a pair of very conspicuous sea blue eyes, which are exactly the same as Princess Yalan, and it is estimated that Yalan is also inherited from this. There is no doubt that this handsome middle-aged man is the Emperor Wigley.
When he was in the martial arts competition before, Linton had seen each other from a distance, but at that time, the other party was dressed up to attend, and it was also a little distance, Linton didn't look carefully, but now he looked at it closely, but it was not the same feeling as at that time, and the emperor's spirit on his body was much less, but there was a sense of intimacy.
"Your Majesty." Klose, who was next to him, bowed slightly and greeted.
"Hello." Linton waved his hand a little rudely, but it wasn't too rude. There is no such thing as kneeling and kowtowing when you see the emperor in this world, and besides, Linton's saint-level status, nodding his head can be regarded as giving the emperor face, and not nodding is an ordinary situation.
"Mr. Swordmaster, I finally met you." Emperor Wigley said with a smile.
"Forget about the Sword Master, just call me Linton." Linton said, saying that he was obviously a mage, and this was also because he didn't bring out the staff on the day of the competition, and he also used Susa Nenghu, which made everyone think that he was a sword saint who could use a fighting golden body.
Emperor Wigley was quite happy, after all, he mistakenly thought that Linton was implying that he was his junior. Because in this world, it is a very intimate act to call each other by name. For example, if someone else is called Linton, they should generally be called Mr. Merlowe, Merlot great, and so on. Of course, Linton just thought it was convenient to call Linton, and Wigley thought that the other party regarded himself as a junior, and that was because of the relationship between Princess Arlan.
Yes, of course, he also knew about Linton and Princess Arran, how could he not know anything? After Princess Arlan came back, she often chanted the name Linton, of course Emperor Wigley checked Linton, of course he couldn't have any ideas before, no matter how a princess is, it is impossible to associate with a person who can't inherit the family title, it's just a baron's family, but after the tournament, Wigley of course has completely changed, no matter what title Linton is, this product is a holy level, this alone is enough.
He doesn't object to Linton dating Princess Arlan now, but he doesn't know Linton's thoughts, after all, he hasn't seen him yet. But now that he hears that the other party is a junior, he is quite happy, and he feels that there is really a play.
"Well, nephew Linton, you already know the matter." Wigley said.
"Well, I just came back from cultivation, so I probably know the current situation." Linton said.
"Do you have any thoughts on this challenge?" Wigley asked.
"Your Majesty also thinks something is wrong." Linton asked.
"Hmm......" Wigley nodded, "I don't know what the Yates Empire is planning, but it's definitely not such a simple thing. ”
"I ...... You may have guessed what the other person thinks, but you need to look at the map. Linton said.
"What? What is it? Wigley said with a little surprise, and after speaking, he pointed to the side, and there was a map on the table, "That's the map of the war zone." ”
The three of them walked to the edge of the map, and Wigley explained the situation on the map to Linton a little. This is actually a very trusting behavior of Linton, after all, this is a military secret, and there are many markers on the map of the location of their army, if Linton spreads it, it will not be a big deal. But Wigley didn't think Linton would do any of that, after all...... He's a saint-level, really want to do it, and he still needs to sell military intelligence? I can't finish it.
"I see." Linton also nodded after reading it, "I think I've already made it clear that they're doing this just to ...... It's just an eye-catcher. ”
