After receiving the order of the corps commander Hortz, the Second Army quickly moved into action, and they were ready to attack at any time, and when Hortz's order was conveyed to the legion, they launched an attack that evening.

The lightning attack of the Holy Cult Army caught Lin Kaiguo's garrison by surprise, although they had been on high alert, but some time ago, the Holy Cult Army had already shown signs of withdrawing, so Lin Kaiguo's garrison slowly relaxed. Coupled with the fact that they had received clear information that Hortz had gone to Salem City, it seemed that it was because of Savan's sudden appearance, so Lin Kaiguo was even more sure that the Holy Cult Army would not attack in the near future.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Cult Army would launch an attack at a completely unexpected time, and this sudden attack immediately made the garrison of Lin Kaiguo dizzy, and three fortresses were lost overnight. This operation shocked Lin Kaiguo extremely much, and they couldn't understand why the Holy Sect Army would attack at this time, could it be that there was some special purpose?

In fact, not only Lin Kaiguo's military couldn't figure it out, but even the officers of the Second Legion of the Holy Sect Army didn't understand why they were attacking at this time. However, the order of the corps commander came in a hurry, and they immediately attacked, and although they did not understand the meaning behind it, they immediately carried out the order.

Just as the officers were about to advance on the victory, an even stranger order was heard, calling for all troops to stop attacking at once and defend in place. The whole of the Second Army felt that the second monk was confused, what was this going on, and suddenly ordered an attack, and immediately ordered to stop the attack as soon as he took a few fortresses.

In this way, wouldn't it make Lin Kaiguo on high alert, and it would be almost impossible to launch a lightning attack. The officers were full of complaints, and privately they were all asking whether Hortz was nervous, and such an inexplicable battle was really not like Hortz's usual style.

Just when the second legion was full of doubts, Alvin had already arrived at Thorin City, the royal capital of Lin Kai, through the teleportation shaft of the Magic Guild. Elwyn came to contact the other party on behalf of the Supreme Commander of the Holy Cult, Celiya, in order to complete the task assigned by Sawan and force Lin Kai to send troops to threaten the territory of the elves.

King Linkey was furious with the actions of the Holy Cult Army, especially Savan, a small person who was nothing a few years ago, had become an important figure on the continent, and even more powerful than him, which made the king who had always been conceited very angry.

However, after all, Lin Kaiguo was a very stable kingdom, and there were many knowledgeable ministers in the court, and after some persuasion from them, the king finally agreed to summon Alwyn to see what the Holy Cult Army had to say.

Alwyn first presented the letter, addressed to King Lynkey in the name of Selia, but the contents were all Savan's ideas. King Linkey read the letter and handed it to the Prime Minister, the Duke of Cooler. Now Culler is no longer an earl, he was canonized as a duke a few years ago, and has become the most powerful nobleman in the country of Linke.

Duke Kule read the letter, and felt very strange in his heart, what kind of medicine did the Holy Cult Army buy in this gourd, asking Lin Kaiguo to send troops to threaten the territory of the elven clan, but not asking the two sides to fight, such a request is too unbelievable. The other important ministers also circulated the letters one by one, almost all of them with the same idea.

The crowd couldn't guess the Holy Army's intentions, so they had to throw the question to Alwin.

"Lord Elwin, what is the purpose of the Holy Cult Army, what is the Holy Cult Army trying to do if we send troops without letting us fight with the elves?" Duke Kuler asked sternly.

Erwin had already thought of a countermeasure, but when he saw a sad look, he sighed and said, "Don't hide it from His Majesty the King and your lords, in fact, this matter is ...... Alas...... I really don't know how to say it. In a word...... This matter involves some personal grudges, so I want to use Lin Kaiguo's help, but His Majesty the King can rest assured that the Holy Cult Army will never break its promise, as long as Lin Kaiguo sends troops, we will return the few fortresses we occupied to Lin Kaiguo. ”

"How can we just return to the fortress! Our soldiers have so many dead and wounded, and you have returned our things to us, is this a thank you?" one of the ministers rebuked angrily.

Alvin nodded: "What this lord said is reasonable, and we will also compensate for the casualties of your country, there is absolutely no problem with this." ”

King Linkey and Duke Kuller looked at each other, and both felt that this matter was really strange, the Holy Cult Army took the initiative to start the war, and now they have an extremely good attitude, which is really unusual. Duke Kule couldn't help but ask, "What personal grievances does the Holy Sect Army and the Elven Clan have, can your envoy tell them?"

Seeing that Alwyn's face was embarrassed and refused to speak for a long time, Duke Kuller suddenly had an idea, as if he had thought of something. He asked, "Is your personal vendetta with the elves Sawen ......" Speaking of this, he saw that Elwin's face was flushed, and he hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "Lord Duke, this ...... You also know a thing or two, that is, back then...... That one...... Haha......"

Duke Kuller immediately confirmed his conjecture when he saw Alwin's reaction, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it was Savin who was deceived by Axeven, it seems that this guy is really a ruthless character who has revenge." It is better not to make enemies with such a person, otherwise it will definitely be very troublesome. ”

Thinking of this, the Duke of Kuler glanced at the king, and the king understood it, so he said: "Your Excellency, please wait a few minutes, I have a few words to say to the duke." With that, he stood up and walked to the office behind the council chamber, and Duke Cooler immediately followed.

Since Duke Kule presided over the affairs of the court, many things have been privately agreed by the king and the duke, which has become the norm in the political situation of Lin Kaiguo, and the ministers have become accustomed to it, although they feel a little uncomfortable, but no one dares to say anything. The two talked in the office for a moment, then returned to the chamber.

King Linkey first said, "Your Honorable Envoy, I think your suggestion is feasible in principle, but such conditions alone are not beneficial to us, is this just the way the Holy Sect Army is showing sincerity?"

Alvin naturally understood what he meant, and he just wanted to reap more benefits. Sawan had already given Alvin full authority to deal with this, and it didn't hurt to give some benefits, as long as it didn't harm the vital interests of the Holy Cult Army.

Alwyn cleared his throat and said, "I didn't mention this to Lord Celea, but I think there are some things I can promise for Lord Celea. In my opinion, in the future, when Lin Kaiguo's fleet trades with Hydonnis, we can be exempted from customs duties, and all Lin Kaiguo's fleets do not have to pay customs duties, only need to pay commercial taxes. I wonder what His Majesty thinks?"

King Lin Kai and Duke Kuler are the largest traders in Lin Kai's country, at least half of Lin Kai's maritime trade belongs to the private fleet of the two, and the conditions given by Alwin are undoubtedly great concessions for the two, and they can save at least 100,000 gold coins in a year, which can be said to be extremely attractive.

King Linkey glanced at Duke Kuller and saw that he nodded slightly, signaling that the king could agree. So King Linkey said: "This still makes me a little embarrassed, after all, it is very troublesome to anger the elves......"

At this time, Duke Kuler interjected: "Your Majesty, although this condition is a little difficult, but for the sake of friendship between the two sides, I don't think we need to be too careful. ”

King Linkey hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Well, what the Prime Minister said makes sense, so I reluctantly agreed for the time being, and I hope that your envoy will report to Lord Selia as soon as possible, so that this matter can be implemented." ”

Soon after Alwin's return, an agreement was signed between the two sides, whereby the Second Army withdrew from the captured forts, promising tax incentives for the Linky fleet. Things went faster than King Lin Kai imagined, and Lin Kai didn't want to be left behind by the Holy Cult Army, so he immediately sent a large army to the elven territory west of Lin Kai.

Lin Kaiguo's fanfare soon caused tension among the elves, and the border between humans and elves, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, became tense again.
