Chapter 188: Response
"What? Actually...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ......" Marshal Marlindorff, who had only seen half of the time, began to scream, but due to his physical relationship, it immediately turned into a violent cough, and Villanika, who was watching next to her, hurriedly patted Marlindorff's chest and smoothed out.
"Father, don't get excited!" Villanica said immediately.
"How could it be...... Ahem...... How could this happen......" Marshal Marlindorff still looked very excited, "someone pretending to be a princess?" ”
"What?" It's the first time McCann here heard about this, and he was immediately stunned, "Someone pretending to be Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess?" ”
Marshal Malindorff didn't say anything, just took out the letter and handed it to McCann next to him, asking him to look at it for himself, and then turned to Li Huailin next to him: "What the letter says is true?" How is the princess now? ”
"The princess is fine now, but she just has nowhere to go, and if she returns to the city now, it is estimated that she will be seriously assassinated before she reaches the gate of the palace." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "My partner is looking at her now, I wanted you to help, but it doesn't seem to be good now." ”
"I'm ......" Marshal Marlindorff said and wanted to get up in a hurry, but was quickly pressed down by Villanika next to him.
"Father, your current body can't move at all." Villanika said here.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, this is not a trivial matter." Marshal Malindorff said seriously.
"It has something to do with the Marquis of Filmut." McCann, who was next to him, read the letter and said, "This matter ......."
"Marquis of Filmut?" Your Villanika here was surprised. Just now, Li Huailin just told her what happened, and did not say his guess, and the princess's letter should have written relevant content.
"It's not just about the princess being replaced." Marshal Malindorff here sighed. "This must be a conspiracy of the Marquis of Filmut."
"So, the man who stabbed my father is also the Marquis of Filmut?" Villanika said here.
"Oh, stabs?" Li Huailin noticed this, "Marshal Malindorf was stabbed?" ”
"Yes, just the night before yesterday, I was attacked by five well-trained assassins." Marshal Malindorff here didn't seem to be hiding anything from Li Huailin, "Although I only suffered a few skin injuries. But I didn't expect that the other party's dagger was actually smeared with an unknown poison, and now the situation seems to be getting stricter and stricter. ”
"Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting." Li Huailin said with a smile. "Did you catch the assassin?"
"All of them are dead soldiers, and they have all committed suicide with one blow, and of course there is nothing on them that can prove their identity." McCann here said angrily, "It's all my fault for being careless." At that time went to the front ......"
"There's nothing wrong with you. Mccann. Marshal Marlindorff on this side immediately said, "The other party is targeting me, and he will definitely pick on you to do it when you are away, so there is no need to blame yourself." ”
"It must be the Marquis of Filmut!" McCann said angrily, "At first, I thought it was an assassin sent by the demons, but now that I think about it, it must have been sent by the Marquis of Filmut. ”
"Hmm......" Marlindorff on this side nodded, "At first, I thought it was from the Demon Clan. But now that I think about it, there are so many doubts. If nothing else, I can't say how the other party got into our camp, but I can figure it out if I think of Filmut. ”
"This Marquis of Filmut is really powerful, how can I hear about this guy's deeds anywhere." Li Huailin smiled, "What's wrong with this guy, jumping up and down, ready to rebel and become the king?" ”
"I don't know what he wants to do." Marshal Malindorff here said with a heavy face, "But the current situation is not optimistic, if I can't survive this time, there will be no one in the empire to contain him." ”
"Father, don't say such things." Villanika next to her said immediately.
"No one can contain him, so exaggerated?" Li Huailin asked.
"Originally, the most powerful in the empire was the First Legion, the Bretonnian Legion, but Marshal Morphas had been killed in battle a few months earlier, and then soon his son Anthony had died in battle. Murat disappeared again, and has not been found so far, and the First Legion has become a mess, so that they have begun to disobey the king's dispatch, so that our Second Legion will come to the front line to fight the demons. Hearing Marshal Marlindorff tell the story of Anthony's side, Li Huailin paid a little attention, especially what the other party said about Anthony's failure to find it so far, could it be that the news from the Nasser rebel army has not reached the main city? Or did someone block the message? Although it is strange, of course Li Huailin will not say these things.
"There would be no threat to such a First Legion." Field Marlindorff continued, "I now even suspect that the death of Marshal Morfas and the disappearance of Anthony have something to do with Filmut. ”
"Filmut is now in charge of the Fourth Army, and the only one who can compete with the Fourth Army is our Second Army, and if the marshal falls now, then the Second Army will definitely ......," McCann explained.
"Doesn't the Second Legion have any heirs?" Li Huailin asked.
"My son Edwin is now working as a diplomat in the main city of the dwarves, and it will take 2 years before he can return to the barracks, this is an order from His Royal Highness, he has not been recruited, and he cannot leave his post without permission." "So if I die now, he won't have time to come back and take over the situation." ”
"I'm sorry, father, it's all my fault for being a woman." Villanika here said in disappointment.
"I'm sorry, Veranica, you've done a pretty good job, you can't be blamed for that." Marshal Marlindorff patted the girl beside the bed and said.
"What about the Third Legion?" Li Huailin asked.
"The Third Legion is empty...... Originally, there were, but in a major war fifteen years ago, there were basically casualties, and it has not been rebuilt until now. McCann, who was next to him, replied in place of Field Marlindorf, "Although it has always been retained." But now there are no combat units. ”
"In other words, the main combat strength of the empire is now the second and fourth legions, and now if something happens to you, the fourth legion, that is, Filmut, will become a monopoly?" Li Huailin nodded and said.
"Yes." Marshal Marlindorff nodded. "That's what I'm worried about."
"So, this Filmut started planning a few months ago, first to kill the Marshal of the First Army, Moffas, and then to assassinate his son Anthony and to make the ......other party disappear," Li Huailin said.
"What? He also killed Mophas? Marshal Marlindorff said in surprise.
"Oh, I've heard that Moffas's death is suspicious, but I just found out who did it." Li Huailin nodded and continued. "Then Filmut contacted the demons and began to attack the human ......"
"Huh? How is this possible? McCann next to him said with a surprised expression, "Where did you get the news?" ”
"That's just what I guessed." Li Huailin spread his hands, "Is it impossible?" ”
"Nope. It's possible......" Marshal Marlindorff said suddenly, "think about it, it's really possible." ”
Then assassinate Marshal Marindorff and lead the second army into chaos. Then kidnap the princess. And then go after the king, oh, this whole plan is amazingly cool. Li Huailin said.
"Bang!!" McCann next to him slammed the table: "This bastard!" He actually did this kind of thing for his own rights. ”
"Father, what should we do now?" Villanika also knew that something was wrong and immediately said.
"This ......," Marshal Malindorff's brow furrowed at once, "let me think about ......"
"Let's take the army back now, and then take Her Royal Highness the princess to expose this guy Filmut!" Next to you, your McCann said fiercely.
"Impossible......" said Marshal Marlindorff on this side. Now, if I go back with the army, I might die on the way, according to my situation. However, the army will be chaotic immediately, but if you take a few people back in the teleportation array, it is estimated that it will still be like that, and you will be robbed and killed on the way before you reach the palace. ”
"Also, the demon side won't give us a chance to bring the army back." Villanika on this side said, "Filmut must have given them our information, if we retreat, the other side will definitely pursue all the way, and then the country may not be able to save it." ”
"Yes, the army can't move." Marshal Marlindorff nodded and said, "There must be something else." ”
"Now you can't go back, what will you do with the princess?" Li Huailin said suddenly.
"By the way, I see, the princess's side is the breakthrough." Marshal Marlindorff on this side suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "As long as we can expose the fake princess in front of the king, then everything about Filmut will come out." ”
"But now the princess can't enter the city at all." Li Huailin spread his hands.
"Not now, but we can wait a little, in two days, now that the princess has just been replaced, Filmut can't do it so quickly, and his killer can't stare at the city gate all day long, we have to wait for the opportunity now." Marshal Marlindorff said.
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded, "But even if we take the princess to the palace in two days, we shouldn't be sure which one is the real princess." ”
"Actually, I know what kind of means the other party probably used." Marshal Marlindorff said, "The other party must have used a secret potion that can change the face, and that kind of potion is rarely heard of, but I am one of them." ”
"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded, "And then?" ”
"Actually, that potion has an antidote, as long as it is applied to the face of the person who has changed his face, the other party will change back, so as long as we can get this antidote, we can expose the identity of the fake princess in person." Marshal Marlindorff looked at Li Huailin after speaking, "This warrior, please find a way to get this antidote." ”
"Huh? I? Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, and then heard a very unhappy system prompt.
System Prompt: Marshal Marlindorff has released you with the S-rank main quest, Road to Salvation-1 - Finding the Potion.

"Hey, there's an S-level just after the A-level, what's the joke, this first ring has so many rewards for cheating dad!" Li Huailin looked at the task prompt, and he was about to cry, "Do you think I'm S13?" I'm not going to do it if I kill me. (To be continued......)
