Chapter 531

The crowd in the hall was agitated, and the ministers praised Li Huailin crazily in all kinds of ways, almost wanting to regard him as a model to worship, and the more they exaggerated, the more energetic they became, and they couldn't stop feeling.

"Everyone be quiet!" Marina couldn't take it anymore, and yelled at the ministers below, "Do you have the ability to judge? The current behavior of the Duke of Aquitaine is a serious threat to the safety of the empire." The question is, are all of you out of your mind? Or have you been bought by the Duke of Aquitaine?"

"Buying?" The ministers here were taken aback for a moment, and then immediately became angry.

"Your Highness, how can you insult us like this? The Duke of Aquitaine has done such a great thing that benefits the country and the people. What is wrong with us praising him! Buying? I have been an official for more than 30 years, and I have never confiscated Even if you are Her Royal Highness, you can't insult my personality like this for a bribe of one gold coin!" An official jumped out angrily and said.

"Your Highness!" Another official knelt down in front of him and said to Anthony, "I dare to swear to the God of Light that I have never received any bribes. What I said today came from my heart , and I also feel that there is nothing wrong with what I said, Her Royal Highness's groundless accusations really hurt my heart, I want to ask His Highness what he thinks, if His Highness thinks so, I will resign immediately!"

"Your Highness!" The Prime Minister Mahe here also knew that he had to speak, because he was a minister and had to speak from the perspective of a minister. If he didn't stand up at this time, everyone would think he was the Queen's man. The foundation collapsed, so he immediately stood up and drew a clear line with the queen, "The queen's groundless accusations really chill me. We think that we have not done anything wrong to the empire. Your Highness, please judge."

"Your Majesty, please give me an order." All the ministers shouted along with Mahe.

"Huh?" Anthony didn't expect that things would suddenly develop into this situation. Although he had encountered it several times, he didn't know why these ministers wanted to speak for Li Huailin. What Malina just said was indeed a little bit Excited, but according to common sense, most people would think so... Why do these ministers react so strangely, are the people below me crazy?

"Your Highness!" Seeing that Anthony didn't react, Maher continued. The queen must give them an explanation for this, otherwise he will not be the head of the officials for long.

"This... this..." Anthony didn't know what to do, these people were crazy, how to communicate with them, so Anthony turned to Li Huailin, and asked him what to do now with his eyes.

"Everyone, don't be so excited." Li Huailin nodded and said, "What the queen means is that although I did a good job. It's very good, but I can't praise you like you.

Otherwise, I still have room for improvement in the future, right? "

"What the Duke said is very true." Mahe's favorability for Li Huailin is already full, and Li Huailin immediately gave 32 likes as soon as he spoke.

"My lord duke is absolutely right!" All the ministers shouted together.

"But even so, Her Royal Highness just said that we took your bribe, and I don't agree with that. I can also testify for you, Mr. Duke. I have never received anything from you." Maher said.

"Yeah, we haven't received anything either." The ministers also said.

"His Royal Highness said so. It not only insulted us, but also insulted you, the Duke. Aren't you angry, my lord?" Mahe asked here.

"It's just accepting bribes. You Mao is very angry. From tomorrow, our Duke's Mansion will accept bribes publicly. Please send money to my house as soon as possible. Please don't be polite to me." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Prime Minister Ma He said suddenly with tears in his eyes, "Your Excellency's actions are indeed the legacy of ancient sages! They are just the pillars of our country! This kind of bearing is really admirable! I will give away 50,000 yuan tomorrow." Jin to your house."

"My lord duke actually commits crimes against the wind. He is a role model for a minister. I, Amirs, don't have much money, but I will give you 10,000 gold. Support your lord duke's cause."

"My lord duke is simply a role model for my generation! I..."

"I also send..."

There was a commotion in the hall again, and the general ministers were very excited and expressed that they would send money to Li Huailin. Anthony and Marina, who were watching here, simply didn't know what happened, and now they didn't know what to do. Fortunately, a person suddenly ran in at the entrance of the main hall here.

"Your Highness." A guard knelt on one knee at the door and said, "There is an emergency."

"Everyone be quiet." Anthony immediately waved his hand to silence everyone, and then said, "What's the matter?"

"Queen Rachel of the kingdom of elves sent an envoy, and she is already waiting at the gate of the palace. Earl Vanessa is also here. May I ask if Your Highness is summoned?" the soldier replied.

"The country of elves?" Anthony immediately became serious when he heard this, looked at Li Huailin and Malina next to him, then nodded and said, "Take them"

"Yes!" The soldier retreated immediately.

At this time, the ministers also immediately recovered their seriousness, standing on both sides of the hall and looking towards the gate, waiting for the appearance of the elf mission.

Soon, a group of people appeared in front of the main hall. There were about a dozen people. The first was a female elf civil servant. The clothes she was wearing should be that of an elf aristocratic official. Vanessa was behind her. There are several other clerks, and the group is all female elves, because basically all nobles of the elves are headed by women, and male elves are very tragic.

"Amos Chenlu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and General Affairs of Lorien, the country of elves, has seen the human king." The elf in the lead walked to the front of the hall, and then saluted Anthony politely, saying.

"Your Highness!" Vanessa here also greeted with imperial courtesy.

"Ambassador Amos?" Anthony nodded, "Is there anything important?"

Because diplomatic visits are usually scheduled in advance, the sudden appearance of the elven mission must be something important, otherwise it would not be so sudden. All the ministers and Anthony knew about it, so they asked this question.

"I'm very sorry for the sudden visit, but something very important has happened in our country of elves." Amos replied, "As you all know, our country is now engaged in an anti-aggression war against the orcs. This time The main purpose of the visit is to ask the human empire to fulfill the obligations of the allies and send troops to rescue us."

"Rescue?" Anthony was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew that the elves and the orcs had been at war, but the elves have always been stubborn and proud. Generally speaking, they would not come to humans for help unless Is something really big going on, "What happened?"

"Our eastern city of Zulina has been captured by the orcs, and all the 100,000 compatriots in the city have been slaughtered by the orcs..." Amos couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke. It was a racial issue. One hundred thousand of his own compatriots were killed, and there were hundreds of thousands of civilians. When the news came out, the whole country was in grief.

"Surina city has been captured?" Anthony was immediately surprised. Of course he was concerned about the war there. Zulina City is one of the largest cities in the Elven Kingdom, and because it is the front line, the defense is extremely strong. Think about this kind of city It will take at least two or three months to take down, but I didn't expect to be captured so soon.

No wonder the elves here are coming to ask for help. If the city of Zulina is captured, there is almost no city that can be defended to the east of the elf king's city. There is no army that can block the orc army in the wild. In this way, the elves are really dangerous, and they may be beaten to the bottom of the king's city.

"When did it happen?" Anthony asked immediately.

"Just this morning..." Amos replied, "Now our elves are in great danger, please ask the human king to fulfill the alliance treaty and help us repel the orc army."

"Morning..." Anthony was also a little anxious. In the morning, it was probably because of Li Huailin's affairs that the people from the intelligence department jumped up and down and didn't care about it. Now it's a bit late to know, the elves It must be saved. Although Anthony doesn't want it to develop, he doesn't want it to be destroyed. Otherwise, the orcs will definitely grow stronger, which is extremely detrimental to the development of the empire.

"Your Highness, we must rescue the Elf Empire." Malina thought for a while and said immediately.

"Yes, Your Highness." The Prime Minister Mahe here also said immediately, "Please send troops to rescue immediately. We are duty-bound to do this."

"I know." Anthony nodded, "Then send that army to rescue?"

"The Fourth Army has just been established and has no combat capabilities for the time being." Mahe said, "The only ones that can be dispatched are the Second Army and the First Army. As far as I said, the Second Army should be sent to rescue."

"Oh?" Li Huailin was taken aback for a moment, why did it involve me.

"Ministers, wait for a second opinion." A group of ministers are full of favorability for Li Huailin, and they are all fighting for Li Huailin for the matter of accumulating military merits.

"It would be great if it belonged to the Duke of Aquitaine. He is someone our elves trust. I believe he will be able to help us." Li Hualin's favorability is very high.

"Uh... Huailin, what do you think?" Anthony thought for a while, then turned to Li Huailin and asked. (To be continued..)
