I really can't control myself

The first night in the palace was relatively peaceful. Although Thomas wanted to talk to Linton about the invasion of the Alvarez Empire, he honestly couldn't find the time. Here we have to deal with the legacy of the previous Eclipse Gate, and on the other hand there are various new situations coming from the Alvarez Empire. Thomas was so busy that his feet couldn't touch the ground. By the time he finished his work, it was already very late, and he didn't disturb Linton's rest.

But early the next morning, Thomas really couldn't help but disturb Linton and the others. New information has been sent. The fleet of the Albarez Empire has appeared offshore. Judging from the opponent's course, it seems to be aiming at Magaloria City, which is the small city where Fairy Tail's headquarters is located. This is true. It's also quite strange, why isn't it their palace? But no matter what, the city of Magrolia is also the land of the Kingdom of Fiore, so he can't ignore it, right?

The Provisional Mage Council had already contacted him. In view of the heavy losses suffered by the king's army in the previous Eclipse Gate incident, Thomas could only send out a symbolic force of 5,000 knights. It's just support. Now this unit has just boarded the magic blast boat and is ready to set off.

The combat power of both sides is obviously disproportionate, because judging from the information currently known, the other side has at least 50-100 giant magic blast boats, and they are all attack-type battleships. There are only three main ships on their side, and about ten other small ships to make up the number, with a combat personnel of 5,000. So how do you win? Thomas doesn't know either, but support must be provided.

However, it will take about two days for the supporting troops to reach Magaloria City. After all, before, they only knew that the direction of the opponent's coming might not be from the Imperial City, and they did not know their specific location. Now that the specific location has been deduced, it is too late to set off temporarily. In two days, Thomas felt that the city of Magaloria could not be defended. How could a small city withstand an attack by such a force for two days? Anyway, Thomas had no hope.

To be honest, after hearing the news, Thomas had given up a little. The gap was really too big. Putting aside the fact that the other party has integrated 730 magician guilds and how many magicians he has under his command, the sheer number of troops and ships makes him despair. It seems that he, the emperor, is about to reach his end. Why are so many things happening this year? It's so unlucky. But Thomas doesn't want to sit still and wait for death. If you say the only chance is there, Thomas can think of Linton who came to stay for the night yesterday. After all... Linton is a hero who saves the country.

The desperate situation of ten thousand dragons was easily solved by Linton. It was really very easy. Thomas still remembers the shock he felt when he saw those dozen piles of huge dragon corpses. The current situation is still desperate. Can Linton save the country again? So after hearing the news, Thomas couldn't wait any longer and came to visit Linton early in the morning.

"In this situation, you still want to send troops to support? You are quite interesting." Linton was a little surprised when he heard that Thomas actually sent troops to Magaloria City, "Let's not talk about whether we can rush. Come on, your 5,000 soldiers are of no use."

"I know, but... we can't just ignore it." Thomas nodded, but still said helplessly.

"You, the king, are surprisingly kind." Linton said, "But being a king not only requires love for the people, but also decisiveness and toughness at critical moments. Having said that, no matter what your current situation is, No matter what you do, you can't save the situation, so you don't need to worry about this matter at all. No matter how much you worry about it, it's useless. Eat what you should and drink, it depends on God's will."

What he said was clear enough, and Thomas didn't argue anything, because according to the current situation, it seemed that nothing he could do would be of any use. The difference in strength between the two sides is really too great, and it can't be brought back by anything like strategic planning. Originally, Thomas came here to ask Linton for help, but it was obvious that Linton wanted to intervene too much. Thomas kept his request in his mouth, but in the end he could not say it out.

It's not that he doesn't want to ask for help, Thomas is willing to do anything if it can save the country. But in the current situation, facing such a powerful Albarez Empire, going up there might be a matter of death. Today he came here to talk about this matter. If Linton took advantage of the situation and said that he wanted to go, he would definitely take up the challenge. But Linton didn't say anything, which meant that he definitely didn't want to get involved. In this way, Thomas could take the initiative to let Linton go. Are you going to take the risk and die? Thomas couldn't tell anyway.

After a few words, Thomas left because there were too many things to do. If he is selfish, he still has it. If this thing doesn't work out today, Linton will probably leave the palace directly, and then there will really be no way to turn around. But if nothing is said, Linton may continue to stay in the palace. On the other side of Magrolia City, Toma felt that he would definitely be too late to save him. If that side was breached, the Albarez Empire's second target would always be their side of the Imperial City. They would come over when the time comes. Linton might still have the possibility to take action.

"We really don't care about this matter?" The person who asked the question was Gajeel. At this time, everyone in the Stardust Guild was having breakfast together. Thomas had also eaten with them before. After Thomas left, Gajeel Lu asked impatiently, and of course Erza on the other side immediately pricked up her ears to listen to Linton's answer.

Erza definitely wanted to help. After hearing the news that the Alvares Empire's army was arriving at Magaloria City, her first reaction was to rush back, but after all, she was now considered a Stardust As a member of the guild, Erza held back for the time being and listened to what Linton said before reading.

"You haven't fully recovered from your injuries, so you want to fight again?" Linton looked at Gajeel and asked.

"Who says it's not healed? This minor injury has already been completely healed." Gajeel said immediately, and stood up to demonstrate and performed a few actions.

"That's right." Linton nodded and paused slightly. Seeing that Linton seemed to be thinking about whether to take care of the matter or not, everyone's eyes were fixed on him, especially Erza who was very anxious.

"You still have to participate in such a big event." Linton looked at Erza's expectant expression and said with a smile. Yes, Zeref originally came to find him. Although Linton had already obtained the points from Zeref, but if he wanted to send him to the West, Linton had to kill him with his own hands. He still had to do what he promised. arrived, so Linton didn't intend to ignore it from the beginning. Besides, apart from Zeref's matter, several of his men still had a lot of points.

There are several demons alone, not to mention a dragon. Judging from Akunolokia's previous experience, the person who turned into a dragon would have a lot of points. Let's start with one million points. After this fight, there should be at least three or four million points.

Hearing Linton's words, Erza couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Linton would say he didn't care. Of course, she didn't care whether Linton took care of it or not. She would definitely take care of it. If Linton said that, she would have no choice but to sneak out and go there by herself. Of course, now that Linton said he would take care of it, it would definitely be the best thing.

However, just when Erza was relieved, Linton's next words shocked her completely. Linton coughed lightly and said, "If nothing else, I must participate for our new members. Erza is also a member of the guild now. As the president, she must do something for the people below. For real, let’s start by helping Erza find her biological mother.”

"What?" Everyone was shocked, not only Erza, but also everyone else. Let’s not talk about the matter of recruiting a biological mother. Aren’t we discussing the invasion of the Albarez Empire now? How did you get involved in finding your biological mother?

"Wait a minute, what does this have to do with finding your mother?" Yalan next to her couldn't help but ask, after all, she was the easiest to ask.

"I am an orphan." Erza also looked at Linton strangely and said, "I don't know who my parents are, but now is not the time to look for them, and I have no intention of looking for them."

"But the problem is that people have already come to the door themselves." Linton said.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned again.

"Wait, you mean, Erza's biological mother is in the army of the Alvarez Empire?" Yalan here seemed to understand.

"Really?" Wendy next to her said with wide eyes. Erza didn't speak, but she also looked at Linton in surprise.

"Yes." Linton nodded directly, "Not only in the army of the Alvarez Empire, this guy is one of the twelve shields."

"What?" There was no doubt that everyone was shocked again. This was...what a coincidence. Erza's mother was actually a member of the Twelve Shields.

"I'm...from the Alvarez Empire?" Erza's eyes were a little confused. She suddenly heard such news, which made her feel a little overwhelmed. Yes, if her mother is from the Albarez Empire, then she seems to be from the Albarez Empire as well.

"This...maybe it doesn't count. To be precise, you are a member of the royal family of the Dragunov Kingdom. You joined the Albares Empire after your mother abandoned you. You can figure out which country you are from."

"The royal family of the Dragunov Kingdom? Are you also a princess?" Yalan looked at Erza strangely. After all, she was once a princess. Although she has become an emperor now, Yalan has no idea about her identity. His understanding has not yet completely transferred to the emperor.

"Dragunov Country? Why haven't I heard of this country?" Erza thought for a while and asked.

"Oh, the country was destroyed 400 years ago." Linton said.

"400 years ago, you were talking nonsense." Yalan couldn't help but said.

"Although it sounds like nonsense, the scary thing is that these are all true." Linton spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me, I feel very bad too."
