Chapter 685 Attack
In the early morning of the next day, Li Huailin was sitting in the carriage of the palace, which was in the process of heading to the venue of the knight competition. Li Huailin was sitting in the carriage, next to him was his military minister Reg, and outside the carriage was the number one thug Bruno. Both of them rushed to the main city last night. When they heard about this, they immediately He rushed over, and at the same time brought a dozen knight candidates from the Li Huailin family who were more powerful in the army.
In addition to them, the Royal Knights also sent a team of knights to protect Li Huailin. Delnate himself wanted to protect Anthony personally so he would not show up, but the deputy captain of the Royal Knights, Edra, led the team to protect Li Huailin personally. Protected by the Royal Knights, this level is almost the same as that of the royal family.
And Li Huailin in the carriage is still thinking about Queen Malina. Last night, Malina proposed Li Huailin to replace Anthony to participate in the competition. No matter what Li Huailin thinks, it seems to be aimed at himself. This is not the first time. From the beginning, it seemed that Marina had been targeting her secretly. Although it was not on the surface, she felt that the other party had a kind of malice towards her.
This time too, this competition is very likely to be attacked by the enemy, which is a very dangerous behavior, but Li Huailin is a player, so he is not worried about death, but the real danger is Malina's later proposal. Now the carriage that Li Huailin is sitting in is actually Anthony's carriage, and all the guards are also guards of the Royal Knights. Anyone who looks at it thinks that the person in the carriage is the emperor, but in fact it is not. And if Li Huailin appeared in front of the public like this, what would everyone think?
For Li Huailin, he is basically fighting foreign wars, fighting elves, demons, and orcs. In terms of merit, that is the real achievement, and in terms of power. The only duke in the whole empire is a duke with a foreign surname. Apart from the emperor, he is the biggest, and now he simply starts to sit on the emperor's vehicle and use the emperor's guard of honor. What he shows to everyone is that Li Huailin is the biggest official in the empire. The clear point is. You have threatened the imperial power.
Li Huailin always feels that now Malina seems to be intentionally or unintentionally building her image in this way. When Malina proposed this last night, Delnate expressed his objection, because the emperor's carriage was not for the emperor. It is definitely not allowed to be used, but Marina said it was a trick, and wanted everyone to think that the emperor would still appear in the competition, so Li Huailin was asked to go in Anthony's car and announce it when he got there. Maybe it can lure the snake out of the hole.
Anthony really didn't think much about it. He felt that it didn't matter if his brother was sitting in his car, and the Queen's plan sounded reasonable, so he immediately agreed, and Li Huailin thought about it and agreed.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked with a smile, seeing Reg sitting next to him trembling nervously, sitting on half of his buttocks.
"This is His Royal Highness's carriage. I was able to sit in it...it...it's unbelievable." Reg said excitedly, as if he didn't think too much about it.
"I asked. Generally speaking, the captain of the Royal Knights also sits in the carriage to protect the king, so you, as my captain, have no problem sitting here." Li Huailin said.
"The commander of the Royal Knights...God, if only I could become the commander of the Royal Knights." Reg said with a little yearning here. After all, as a knight, the Royal Knights are the ultimate Yearn for. Reg naturally also dreamed of becoming the head of the Royal Knights.
"Oh?" Li Huailin glanced at Reg for a moment.
"Oh? No, I have sworn allegiance to you, Your Excellency Duke. I definitely don't mean to join the Royal Knights." Reg immediately realized the problem in his words. The Royal Knights are loyal to His Royal Highness, and he But Li Huailin's knight commander. It felt as if he was going to change jobs, but Reg didn't mean that at all, so he quickly explained.
"Then you mean to make me rebel? When you become the king, you can become the commander of the Royal Knights?" Li Huailin asked with a smile.
"Rebellion?" Reg was taken aback immediately, "His... Your Highness, you... you have to do... do..."
"I'm just kidding, it scares you." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Huh..." Reg here let out a heavy breath, "Your Highness, you really scared me to death, I thought you were telling the truth."
"Regg, I said that if I want to rebel, do you think I might succeed?" Li Huailin asked suddenly.
"Ah?" Reg was taken aback for a moment, and his face immediately turned serious. After thinking about it, Reg said, "Your Highness, it's possible."
"Oh? You think so too?" Li Huailin asked.
"Your Highness, the current regular army of the empire is only about 250,000. Among them, the Second Army has the strongest combat effectiveness (the strongest combat effectiveness was fought by Li Huailin, and the Second Army is still not as good as the First Army in terms of weapons and equipment) It is completely under your control, the number of people exceeds one-third of the total military strength of the empire, and you still use your own territory, and the financial aspect is also very loose, and based on your relationship with the elves, I think even if you invite the elves It is also possible to have reinforcements from the army. In this way, the army is completely comparable to the imperial army. According to your ability, I don't think it should be a problem to defeat the imperial army. As for the people's hearts, the Murat royal family is the new royal family. The psychological position is not very high, even if you replace me, I don't think there will be any major objections, so if you say rebellion, I think the possibility of success is very high."
"Hehe, have I developed to this point without knowing it?" Li Huailin smiled, "No wonder the queen here is so caring, I didn't even know I had such a great ability. Then Reg, it's up to you Say, do you want me to be emperor or duke?"
"Your Highness, no matter what you do, I will follow you. I am your knight commander." Reg said here.
"I'm just asking for your opinion, not to show your loyalty." Li Huailin said.
"If His Highness has to ask, then I naturally hope that His Highness can go one step further. If a great person like His Highness can lead the entire human race, wouldn't that be a blessing for the entire human race?" Reg said immediately.
"Oh? Persuading me to come in?" Li Huailin nodded, "Then what do you think, do I mean that now?"
"This subordinate doesn't know, so I don't dare to guess what you mean." Reg said immediately.
"You figure it out for me now." Li Huailin said immediately.
Reg suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and looked at Li Huailin carefully. He must be very careful in saying this sentence. If he is not sure, he will definitely be miserable. After thinking about it, Reg said: "Yes."
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Li Huailin asked strangely.
"If His Highness didn't have one, His Highness wouldn't get in this carriage." Reg said, "The emperor's carriage is not allowed to be used by anyone except His Highness the King. Your Highness, you didn't refuse, which means that at least in your own conception, The concept of monarch and subject is very weak, if that is the case, I think you have it."
"Oh..." Li Huailin nodded. Reg looked nervously at Li Huailin's reaction, and unknowingly had cold sweat on his back. This topic is really terrifying. If he is not careful, he will be separated immediately. .
"It seems to make sense. Since you think so, it seems that most people think so. It seems that the purpose of our queen is also the same." Li Huailin said with a smile, "It's really interesting, not I know what the queen's goal is, but if someone dares to provoke me, I won't let her have a better life, don't you think so, Reg."
"Yes, Your Highness, no matter who your enemy is, I will stand in front of you and fight for you." Reg said immediately, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, loyalty is commendable, but you should forget these words when you get off the car, and don't let others hear it." Li Huailin said.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this subordinate has already forgotten all the previous conversations, and will not remember them again in the future." Reg said immediately.
"Let's talk about the Knight Tournament, Reg, you say..."
Before Li Huailin finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "thump" in his car, and an arrow with a flashing green light directly passed through the top of the car, and was inserted straight into Li Huailin and Reg's body. among people.
"Enemy attack!" Reg immediately pulled out his saber and stood in front of Li Huailin to protect the direction of the bow and arrow. At the same time, there were sounds of various weapons being unsheathed outside the car.
"There are enemies on the roof! Everyone pay attention to protect the adults!"
"Raise the shield! Defend!" The knights shouted from outside.
"Really or not? Go straight to the front?" Li Huailin was also a little surprised. What Malina said yesterday was that the assassination was very reasonable when she received the award. Li Huailin also thought so, but he didn't expect the other party to go directly to the arena. The assassination started on the way, which is too bold, with so many guards, is it possible to succeed?
Li Huailin immediately wanted to poke his head out to see how many people were in the other party, but he was caught by Regella all of a sudden: "Master Duke, please be careful!"
"There are not many people on the other side. Otherwise, this car would have been shot into a hornet's nest. I wonder why the other party has so few people here. Let me see the situation." Li Huailin said, regardless of Reg's dissuasion , directly opened the window and looked out.
As a result, he just opened the car window and saw a man with a red Romerig name on his head rushing towards him with a sword among the crowd running around on the side of the road. (To be continued..)
